Light and flames erupted from the Sword of Three Races Evansmana. The sword was swung vertically, and the trail left by it caused a violent and massive explosion.
Even though Avos Dilhevia had repelled it with anti-magic, her body was slashed and bleeding.
“…Now you’ve done it…” (Avos)
As she gave him a murderous glare, Lay pointed the tip of his Sword of Three Races at her.
“This magic is the proof. The proof she’s still alive inside you. This is how she’s fighting together with me. Even if she’s turned into the Demon King of Tyranny Avos Dilhevia, her love remains with me.” (Lay)
On the first step, he slowly put his foot forward. Then on the second step, he suddenly accelerated, and was closing in on Avos Dilhevia.
“Oh, but are you sure you want to do this? If so, then you would be pointing your sword at your beloved girlfriend. Doesn’t that make you afraid?” (Avos)
“You know nothing about her. Nothing at all…!” (Lay)
Avos Dilhevia dodged the slash of Lay’s Sword of Three Races in the nick of time.
However, immediately after that, she was caught in the explosion of <Holy Love Sword Explosion Teo Traloth>, and her body was sent flying.
“Her wish is the unification of all demonkind. She’s not the kind of girl who would approve of you promoting the supremacy of the royals!” (Lay)
Lay chased after Avos Dilhevia, who had been blown backwards.
“If I insulted her by saying that she was incapable of laying her life on the line to protect me and defeat you, I wouldn’t have any right to love her!” (Lay)
Lay swung Evansman in a wide motion.
As if to intercept the extra large <Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar Jio Graze> fired by Avos Dilhevia, Lay sliced it in two with his Sword of Three Races.
Black explosions erupted around him, destroying the walls.
Lay was still running after her and sweeping his sword sideways, so she coated her entire body in <Four Worlds Wall Beno Ievun>.
He put all of his strength into a <Holy Love Sword Explosion Teo Traloth> attack, but when it cut through her dark aurora, she impaled Lay in the abdomen with her jet-black arm.
“<Demon Curse Necrosis Destruction Degzegd>.” (Avos)
Dark snake-like marks appeared on his body.
Those cursed vipers rampaged violently, biting his sources and digging their fangs into them.
However, he didn’t flinch.
“I will cut off your fate as the Demon King of Tyranny, and bring you back…!” (Lay)
Lay shouted with determination.
“Lend me your strength, Misa…!” (Lay)
The power of <Holy Love Sanctuary Teo Aske> whirled inside his body, and blasted away the magic formula of <Demon Curse Necrosis Destruction Degzegd>.
“<Holy Love Sword Explosion Teo Traloth>…!!!” (Lay)
Impossible to avoid, and perfectly timed—
Avos Dilhevia, who was born from the rumors and legends about the Demon King of Tyranny, was still no match for the Sword of Three Races of the Hero Kanon.
The moment that holy sword, which was made to destroy the Demon King, broke through her anti-magic and was about to impale her source—
A voice echoed out of nowhere.
“Silence, Sword of God. The word of a god is absolute.” (???)
The Sword of Three Races lost its glow, and Avos Dilhevia grabbed it.
That sword was meant to destroy her, and yet, it had lost its power.
“<Hell Flame Binding Chains Magic Formation Zola E Dypt>.” (Avos)
Avos Dilhevia Drew a magic circle.
Jet-black flames took the shape of chains, and assailed Lay from all directions.
Although he tried to clear them off with the holy sword, it was incapable of severing them as it had lost its radiance, and Lay’s limbs were bound by the chains of hellfire.
The dark flames flared up in black and burned Lay’s body along with his <Holy Love Sanctuary Teo Aske> spell.
“Haha!” (Nosgalia)
With a dry chuckle, Nosgalia appeared on the scene.
“Everything is according to God’s plan. Thy role of giving rise to Avos Dilhevia ends here, Hero Kanon. Now, thy lover will kill thee and thou shalt disappear, as per the plot intended for you by the gods.” (Nosgalia)
The origin spell <Hell Flame Binding Chains Magic Formation Zola E Dypt> sealed the target’s movement and magic power, while at the same time creating a spell formula.
And the one it just activated was for a <Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar Jio Graze>, loaded with enough magic power to eradicate a country.
The spell was aimed at the sky.
“Farewell, Lay. I would’ve preferred if you had obediently surrendered yourself to me.” Avos Dilhevia said.
With Lay at the center, the <Hell Flame Binding Chains Magic Formation Zola E Dypt> spell summoned a jet-black sun.
The giant black fireball had swallowed him whole.
“May all your sources perish with you.” (Avos)
Avos Dilhevia sent magic power to the magic circle, and the <Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar Jio Graze> was shot out.
However, just before that, the black sun shattered as if it was made of glass, and vanished without a trace.
Taken aback, Avos Dilhevia turned her Magic Eyes to it.
“…The Magic Eyes of Destruction…” (Avos)
Right after that, <Hell Flame Binding Chains Magic Formation Zola E Dypt> chains were cut to pieces as if sectioned by a sword, and Lay was freed.
“What a boring plot you’ve cooked up, Nosgalia.” (Anos)
Nosgalia turned his eyes to me and Shin as we emerged from the Spirit of Hiding.
He spoke up with a calm demeanor.
“Oh, but thou hast not seen anything yet, misfit. I’m going to take everything thou hast and— GAHAAH!!?” (Nosgalia)
Before he could finish, I punched Nosgalia so hard he flew and loudly crashed into the wall.
“You’re way too full of yourself, you stooge. If you have something to say, get down on the ground.” (Anos)
I went straight to Nosgalia.
“Oh? And where are you going? Why don’t you come and play with me?” (Avos)
Avos Dilhevia stood in my way.
She had both arms covered in layers of both <Four Worlds Wall Beno Ievun> and <Magic Black Thunder Emperor Jirasd>.
Without letting her guard down, she had her Magic Eyes locked on me.
But I didn’t care, and walked straight to her.
As if to say she didn’t understand my attitude, her gaze turned grim, and she maintained her posture.
Even if she planned to attack me, she seemed wary of me luring her into attacking, and was unable to take one step.
The sound of footsteps echoed with a bump.
Shin started walking. By the time Avos Dilhevia turned to look at him, I was standing right next to her.
Her sharp killing intent pierced me.
Before her blackened, lightning-clad arms could get to me, I tapped her on the shoulder.
“I’m gonna have you play with Lay for a while.” (Anos)
After saying that, I easily rushed past Avos Dilhevia.
“Nosgalia.” (Anos)
I leisurely pointed my finger at the Heavenly Father, who was leaning against the broken wall and sitting on the floor.
“I’m about to teach you the meaning of fear.” (Anos)
