“So, Prospero’s Sazaku. Is there anything you want with us?”
“Hahaha, of course there is. I’m here to help you fulfill your love!”
“……Huh”
Iris’ cold cheeks, heats up again.
“You bastard…… are you messing around?”
“……Ha?”
Sazaku’s head, tilted.
“Just now, what did you say?”
“…… Don’t kid around, I said——”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!? I’m not kidding!? I’m serious! I’m really serious, with thissssssssssss!?”
All of a sudden, Sazaku screamed.
“I thought they were just no-good craps, but these fucking damn kid areeeeeee!! I was told that I was kidding around like this, this bastard!! This issssss! I’m risking my life!! I’ll spend everything! Aaaaaahhhh!?” (TN: He’s seriously speaking gibberish here)
To the sudden change in Sazaku’s attitude, the two felt creeped out, and they involuntarily backtracked.
“What is this guy …… is he nuts?”
When Haruto became so suspicious, Sazaku suddenly went quiet.
“——…… I lose my composure. I apologize.”
Straightening his tilted head, Sazaku respectfully bow.
“Now then, in such a calm place …… I know this is abrupt, but could you have sex?”
““……Ha!?””
To his too unimaginable demand, the two solidified.
Iris and Haruto’s cheeks, are dyed red.
——Thi ……. This guy, what is he talking about!?
“Oh? You don’t know what that means? It’s, you know, sexual intercourse. It’s sex. It’s the thing you will do at the end. In other words, child making.”
“I didn’t ask something like that!! Why did you tell me that I had to do such a thing with you!!”
“Ah, maybe you’re misunderstanding me? I won’t do it, you know. The two of you who love each other will do it. The ritual of love. Yes, and you will create the crystal of love.”
Is this guy’s head seriously crazy? Like that, when Haruto was dumbfounded——,
“Crystal of love …… the 『Demon King』”
“!!”
When Sazaku rotated both his hands alternately, he activated two magic circles at the same time.
“Wha~t, if you flirt a little bit again, you can be sexually excited with the Reincarnation Wedding (Necromance). Then you can no longer, think of anything other than connecting with the other party. It’s wonderful, right”
From the black magic circle, a whip like a tentacle grows. (TN: Tentacle play is here!!)
“Tsk!”
Haruto avoids the whip, kicks the floor and jumps out. At that moment, his preparation for magic is already complete. He runs his fingers along the sword, and shouts.
“『Flame』!”
The sword was clad in flames.
“Hah!!”
With a loud scream, Haruto’s sword slashes Sazaku’s body.
A metallic sound echoed, and sparks fluttered.
Wondering when did he pull out a sword, a sword was also held in Sazaku’s hand.
“Your sword arm is also wonderful. Your suitable for a temporary residence of the 『Demon King』.”
“Tsk!”
Haruto flicks Sazaku’s sword, and takes a step back.
When Sazaku came forward as if to chase after him, Iris flew in the air, jumping over Haruto.
“『Frost』!!”
Iris’ sword wore a cold air, and it’s blue sword blade frosts.
Spinning her body as if she’s dancing in the air, Iris sent out her sword with that momentum.
Its white trail creates a beautiful curve.
A dull sound echoed in Sazaku’s crown of head, and his sword collided with her sword.
“『Vulcan』!!”
In that gap, Haruto swings his sword, and shoots out flames.
When Sazaku flicks Iris’ sword, he instantly activates his Material Transfer magic. He made his body jump far back.
But Haruto has also read his movement.
He fired Vulcan in succession, aiming at the place where Sazaku would land.
Explosions of flames occur, and pillars of fire stand.
Haruto smiled fearlessly, and stared at the flames.
“I thought you were just a festival bastard, but you have what it takes huh.”
From inside the flames, Sazaku emerged.
What floats before him, is a black magic circle.
“……Darkness Defense Magic hah”
“Correct. We, Prospero, have this power given by the great leader ……. the soul of the Demon King.”
“What?”
——The soul of the Demon King, is it?
The Demon King’s half-body, which is inside me and Iris. Is that it?
“……It seems that, I have a lot of questions for you bastard.”
When the flames went out, his dark defense magic also disappears. Then, Sazaku slowly rotated his hands in front of his body.
A new magic circle is drawn. After a moment, it spread so wide that it seemed to cover the ceiling of the church.
——huge.
“Come now! Nero Behemoth!!”
From the huge magic circle, a Northern demon (Tempest) that matches its size emerges.
Its total height is 5 meters. The length of its body easily exceeds ten meters. To describe its figure, it seems like a carnivorous giant cow, with abnormally developed muscles.
Its face is big, and its mouth is lined with more than 100 sharp fangs. From the sides of its face, two huge weapons that seemed to be able to crush rocks were protruding forward.
Its jet-black body, is covered with rock-like muscular armor, and it conveyed the destructive power hidden inside its body.
Danger level 12. Among the behemoth species, it is the most ferocious.
“It’s a great summoning magic, but you can’t beat me with illusions.”
“Fufufu, real summoning magic is, not an illusion, you know”
Behemoth heads toward him.
The sounds of the giant’s foot trampling, shakes the church like an earthquake. It’s as if it really exists——!?
“Iris! Let’s get out of this church!”
Haruto and Iris turn their backs on the Nero Behemoth, and run to the exit.
They kicked the door, and jumped out.
In front of them is a meadow, and they can see forests and mountains in the distance.
Judging from the scenery, this is not far from the field of their subjugation competition.
However, they have no room to verify it leisurely.
The back of the front of the church, was blown away as if an explosion occurred.
From inside it, the Nero Behemoth rushes.
The distance between them, is getting closer——,
“Haruto-kun!”
“Oh! 『Movement』!!”
The two attracted the Nero Behemoth at the last moment, and they divided into left and right.
They used movement magic to flew their bodies directly sideways. Its speed is much faster than running on their own feet.
The Nero Behemoth passed between Haruto and Iris with the sound of the earth. That tremor, is like that of an earthquake.
Nero Behemoth, turns around after running for a while. And it roared as if to intimidate the two.
The ground that it passed by, including the grass that it stepped on, is compacted and dented, leaving clear footprints.
“Haruto-kun …… that is, a real entity……”
They heard a laughter from a distance.
“Hahaha! This is the magic abyss of darkness!! Dark magic is a miracle!”
Sazaku speaks on the church that has collapsed, and turned into a pile of rubble.
“This is the real summoning magic! It’s somewhat different from the Hero guild’s imitation! It’s a miracle of the Demon King that can only be achieved with the Demon King’s soul! It has been carved on that body!”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying! The soul of the Demon King, what’s that!?”
Sazaku deliberately made a gesture of holding his mouth.
“You talked a little too much. You are a little too naughty. To make it easy for you to move, how about I say you feed Nero Behemoth a few arms.”
When Sazaku snapped his finger, Nero Behemoth pounced on the two again.
“Haruto-kun, what are we going to do? It would be easy for us if we just ran away……”
“No, that Sazaku guy is someone we need to catch, and confess. I’m gonna kill that Nero Behemoth.”
“If so, I will stop it from moving.”
Iris points the tip of her sword, at the Nero Behemoth.
“Watch out, Iris. If you are in danger, I won’t be able to concentrate.”
“——Can’t you trust me that much?”
“That’s not true. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“……”
Iris seemed to be unable to concentrate.
Mou….. at such a time, Haruto-kun! ❤
His feelings of cherish is transmitted to her, making her cheeks hot, and her heart palpitations became intense.
Iris held her cheeks down with both hands to cool the heat.
If she doesn’t concentrate, she can’t make magic formulas well. That’s because, it’s something created by thinking in one’s head.
The magic power generated from inside the body is the fuel. A magic formula is like a machine that uses that fuel. The blueprint is made with the mental power ——Namely, magic is activated by flowing one’s magic power according to the magic formula.
And the ways to generate magic power, are different.
There are various method in order to do that, such as by making a contract with an existence called Devil(Majin), and using the miracle of God by worshiping the God of light.
In Iris’ case, it’s the spirit of ice, and the 『Half body of the Demon King(Juliet)』 lurking inside her body.
It’s the strongest source of magic power in history.
Thanks to Haruto and Iris, right now, the door where the Demon King’s half body lurks has opened a little, and a powerful magic power is flowing out.
“『Freezing』!!”
A magic circle unfolds at the tip of the sword, emitting white smoke from there, and it fired a mass of cold air.
A high-pitched metallic sound echoes, and the smoke that spews out freezes the grass on the ground.
Then, the cold bullet which had been shot frost Nero Behemoth’s body, and its hair that covers its whole body is wrapped with white frost.
Iris ran towards the sluggish Nero Behemoth.
“『Frost』!!”
She then slashed the thick legs of Nero Behemoth. It was prevented by its outstanding defense power and she wasn’t able to deeply damage it. However, the cold air which was thrown into it freezes its feet to the ground.
During that time, Haruto was chanting the spell needed for the advanced magic of fire.
“——The spirit of fire, the devil of flame, I seek an appeal.”
Hot air swirled around Haruto, and a gust of wind violently blew.
“——Explosion, raging fire, scorching heat, hellfire, turn tangible things into ashes, and turn intangible things into dust.”
Under Nero Behemoth’s feet, a magic circle that burns bright red appears.
That’s the entrance to the hell of fire.
“『Meltdown』!!”
A bright red flash extends toward the heavens.
It’s like a volcanic eruption, or a blast furnace bursting.
The cry of Nero Behemoth’s death agony resounded.
Its fur, which is supposed to be magic resistant, and its rocky body, which is supposed to bounce off any attack, are completely useless.
The violent flames and heat itself, mercilessly burned its body.
The Meltdown pillars gradually became thinner, eventually becoming a single line, and finally, it disappeared.
Nothing remains, even its trace.
The Nero Behemoth, that should have existed there, has no trace left.
A loud applause echoes in the spot which is out of place.
“I say! That was wonderful. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the advanced magic of fire. However, I’ve never seen something this powerful! I never thought that you’ll one-shot Nero Behemoth! As expected of the one who has the half body of the Demon King inside his body!!”
To Sazaku who clapped his hands in high-spirits, Haruto turned a stern look.
“Next, is your turn”
“No, no, let’s save the fun. However, I don’t want you to misunderstand, we’re on your side.”
“Don’t screw around! Coming and attacking here, what do you mean by your side?”
“Screw around……?”
Sazaku tilted his neck.
“Naaaaaaaaaaahh!? Screwing around, you said!! I’m not fooling arou~nd!! Aaah aaah!? Why won’t you understand how I fee~l here!? …… Excuse me, I lose my composure. I apologize.”
Haruto raises his eyebrows, and glares at Sazaku.
“This bastard…… how serious is he?”
Sazaku’s neck returned back to being straight.
“Hahaha, I’m serious, you know. Entirely, all perfect* serious. We wish for the fulfillment of your love and happiness.” (TN: This one is in English form)
Iris sharply narrow her eyes.
“……Happiness, is it?”
“For further information, I’ll give it in another opportunity. Then, I’ll pray for a future where the two of you will be united!!”
A magic circle glowed under Sazaku’s feet.
“Kuh!!”
Haruto’s sword which was thrown at him, pierces the ground.
However, by that time, Sazaku had already disappeared.
“Transfer magic huh…… a well-prepared guy.”
When they searched around the area in which Sazaku disappeared at their feet, they found a round stone that was glowing black.
It was a stone as beautiful as a jewel, but it was cracked, and was about to shatter at any moment.
Iris also comes, and peeks at the stone.
“A magic stone huh…… he had prepared a magic formula for the transfer in advance using this, didn’t he”
“Ah. That’s why, he was able to suddenly activate magic without any sign. It was probably the same when we were brought here.”
When Haruto pulled out his sword stuck in the ground, the magic stone simply shattered and disappeared.
“Haruto-kun …… that guy, who the heck is he?”
“Dunno…… but, he knows us. And, there are things we don’t know.”
“Then …… Haruto-kun”
“Ah. I’ll catch him. I’m also bothered about the soul of the Demon king that he talked about.”
“But, how will you find him……”
“I’m going to think about it from here on”
Iris floats a troubled smile.
“If you will come up with a good method, it would be fine, but”
“Easy peasy”
——Then, at that moment,
A familiar voice called out to them.
“Eh? Haruto-san and Iris-san were here!?”
They heard the familiar voice.
Coming across the meadow, was a young girl with a luminous scepter.
“Clara!? You, why are you in such a place”
“I heard that there was an old Luminous church here …… since I came to the Blaze territory with great pains, I thought I should go back after a tour nodesu.”
“Go back …… wait, what happened to the subjugation competition?”
“Yes? It’s long over nodesu. My Luminous is No. 1, and No. 2 is Blaze and Absolute at the same position nodesu.”
“……”
This is bad.
The two sweated coldly, wondering what excuses should they make.
“Rather than that, why are you two in such a place?”
“Ah……”
“Tha,that is……”
Clara, hit her palm plop.
“I understand nodesu!”
Haruto and Iris’ hearts, jumped up with a startle——,
“Both of you were interested in the old church, right!?”
——they lose their strength as if they would touch the ground.
“A,ah…… well, that’s about it.”
To Haruto who had no choice but to talk, Clara made her eyes shine.
“Is that so nodesu! Is that so nodesu! As for the old Luminous architecture in Blaze, it seems to be a valuable thing that’s hardly like any other nodesu! If you’ve never seen this, it’s natural to think so nodesu!”
Clara looked around with her excited eyes.
“It should be around here nodesu. But have you found it nodesu?”
It was hard for them to say that it was the nearby pile of rubble. (TN: It was destroyed. LOL)
TN: Follow me on for support!!
