“This fucking kiddddddddddddddddddd!”

“This chap from the Hero’s guildddddddddddddd!”

The incessant metallic sound continued, like it was a single sound.

“No matter how much you kids deny it, the facts don’t change! Your destiny has already been decided! You have no other choice but to become a Demon king!!”

“Stop bullshitting! We will decide our destiny from now on! We are!!”

Haruto momentarily turned his back on Erlic.

Elric isn’t someone who will miss such opportunity. He swings a deadly blow down to Haruto’s back.

However, he had read such move.

Haruto ducks under his sword, and slams his own sword into Elric’s stomach.

“Guhaa!?”

He felt his hard armor on his hands. Under his clothes, Elric was wearing armor with magic defense.

However——,

“『Vulcan』!!”

The flames create an explosion.

“Guhaah!?”

Elric was sent flying backwards in a grand way, and rolled on the floor.

“Such, such! Such! Such! Fucking kidddddddddddddd!!”

While spitting saliva mixed with blood, Elric stood up.

“You’ve been pissing me off from the start! You’re cocky and you’ve got a big attitude! You don’t know what it’s like to be a teacher! What’s more, even though you’re a kid, you’re a leading magician? How lucky can you get!? How much money did you pile up!?”

“Of course, it’s a matter of ability, you know. I won the Blaze magic martial arts tournament. Well…… there were a lot of things I had to do to get into, though …….”

Haruto smiles bitterly, and repositions his sword.

“But I, carved out my destiny at that time.”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaa!? Shut the f*ck upppppp! This idiot!! Since destiny is decided, it’s destiny! You guys’ future, has already been decided!!”

Elric held up his two fingers, and placed them on the stomach of his sword.

“The source of dark magic is anger! It’s my rage against that unreasonable fate!!”

His magic power swells, and purple flames begin to scatter from Elric’s body.

“『Vampir』!!”

A black magic circle unfolded beneath Haruto’s feet.

“——Wha”

By the time he tried to escape, the strength had already drained from his body.

There was nothing he could do, so he dropped to his knees.

“This is …… my physical strength, and magic power…… are being absorbed?”

“That’s right! Well done! I’m going to worn you out, and let you fuck that crying girl over there. With that…… if I revive the Demon King …… I’ll be the greatest in Prospero. I will leave behind the other executives, even the master …… Fufufu”

…… Other executives? Master?

Questions arise in Haruto’s head, but that isn’t the point right now.

“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but…… this bastard!”

Haruto stands up with all his strength.

However, he couldn’t get any strength into his knees at all. If he was pushed, he would likely fall down easily.

“Elric …… The source of your power isn’t anger. It’s selfish jealousy and resentment. We don’t have time to deal with that kind of nonsense.”

Blood vessels emerged on Elric’s forehead.

“Shut uuuuuuuuup!! You ignorant kid! You’ve never felt frustration, so you’re just a fool who was saying such sleep-talk! Look at that woman!”

Iris’ body jolted from her reverie.

“That hopeless look, is the right look for you guys! You know what I’m talking about, don’t you!? You guys are just containers! Just a temporary residence for the Demon King! It’s like you yourselves don’t even exist! Accept the reality, Haruto Shindou!! Neither your existence nor your mind is real! That’s why your heart and your feelings are all lies!”

Iris shook her shoulders, and continued to let her tears fall to the floor.

To that figure of her, Haruto calls out from the bottom of his heart.

“Raise your face! Iris!!”

Iris raises her face timidly.

With her cries, the area around her eyes becomes bright red. Her eyes spill large tears, and she stares at Hart as if she’s seeking salvation.

“Our feelings are real!”

“……Haruto-kun”

“My feelings of love for Iris, it has no lie or truth! Even if it was because of the Demon King’s half-body! Since——”

Haruto cried out, praying that his heart would connect with Iris.

“Since right now, this feeling I have for Iris, is real!”

“Haruto……kun”

The sparkle returns to Iris’s eyes. However ——

“『Eclipse』”

Elric swung his sword again. A purple shockwave struck Haruto.

“Guo!?”

Blood spewed from Haruto’s knees.

Again, Haruto kneels. Then, one after another, cuts were carved into his arms, back, and cheeks.

“Aaaah, I’m so pissed off alreadyyyyyyyyyy! I don’t care about your feelings and such!! As long as you can get together and revive the Demon King, that’s all that matters——”

“『Protect』!!”

An ice wall rose in front of Haruto.

Absolute’s defense magic. It is an ice barrier boasting formidable strength.

“This f*cking princess …… I wish you could just be quiet and despair.”

Iris wiped her tears away, and picked up her sword which had fallen to the floor.

“I don’t know if this feeling is real or not. ….. But my feelings here, right now, are undeniably true.”

Her blue eyes glared at Elric.

“This me won’t allow you to hurt Haruto-kun!!”

Elric tears off his well-groomed golden hair.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh annoyinggggggggggggggggg!!”

From his body, purple flames flared up.

“I’m not holding back anymore! My flames! The soul of the Demon King! Just the strongest! Bring me the greates Northern Demon(Tempest)!!”

A huge magic circle emerges on the floor of the church.

“Watch out, Iris!”

He could feel enormous magic power and intense pressure from the bottom of the magic circle. Haruto trembled down his spine.

“The hell, what kind of monster did you call ……”

The answer to that question soon become clear.

Two large wings emerged from the magic circle.

And a long tail covered with red scales.

Its neck is as long and thick as its tail.

Beyond that is the head of a giant reptile.

It has an exceptional hugeness, and presence.

“…… A Flame Dragon, is it……?”

Haruto and Iris’ complexion changed.

The same is true for Elric himself, the one who summoned it. He looked up at the huge dragon that filled the church with a look of disbelief.

“Ha,haha … I never thought this kind of thing will come out ……”

He drew his smile, and shuddered.

That’s natural.

The Dragon race is a species that reigns at the top of the Northern demons (Tempest).

Its power is overwhelming. Not to mention humans, even other Northern Demons (Tempest) is no match for it.

The Flame Dragon is a member of that dragon race. It has a fire attribute, and its flames is different from Blaze’s magic.

It is also highly intelligent and has a high level of magic resistance.

It’s exactly invincible.

It’s almost like a natural disaster, and fighting that itself is reckless.

“As expected, summoned by the soul of the Demon King …… and the Reincarnation Wedding (necromance) with the two half bodies of the Demon King …… amazing, it’s amazing!”

Elric turned his smile at the two.

“No matter how many hundreds of subjugation troops you have, they won’t matter with this! Ah, it’s lovely! Look! This is my power! It’s my power!!”

Iris’ throat gurgled as she looked up at the Flame dragon.

“Haruto-kun…… we have no choice but to withdraw——”

“——No”

Haruto carried his sword on his shoulder.

“If a monster like that goes on a rampage, Grandia will be annihilated.”

“But…… then, how about ——— Haruto-kun!?”

Haruto circumvents the ice barrier created by Iris, and appears in front of the Flame Dragon.

“That’s a Flame Dragon, a fire-based dragon species! It’s too incompatible with Haruto-kun!! If so, then it’ll have to be me!!”

However, Haruto turned his palm to Iris.

“Stay where you are.”

“But!”

“I’m going to go check my answers to the practice questions.”

“Eh?”

Haruto approaches the Flame Dragon in a far too defenseless manner, while carrying his sword.

“Oy oy, are you sane? What do you think you’re going to do all by yourself?”

“I told you, didn’t I? I’m more than just an ordinary bump in the road.”

A cruel smile appears on Elric’s face.

“Then, I’ll make your limbs as food for it. As long as your torso is still intact, it should be fine.”

Haruto held his sword with one hand, and placed his other hand as a support on the sword.

“You made Iris cry.”

Red flames erupted from Haruto’s body.

“Even if my limbs got eaten, I won’t forgive only you!!”

Haruto slid his finger down the blade.

The air inside the church dramatically changes.

“——Spirit of flame, devil of blaze, I seek and appeal.”

A red magic circle opened under Haruto’s feet, and sparks began to fly throughout the church.

“——Combustion, raging fire, scorching heat, hell fire, turn tangible things into ashes, and intangible things into dust.”

At the Red magic sword—— Golden magic characters emerge on the blade of Phoenix.

Several magic circles unfolded not only beneath his feet, but also around Haruto.

Looking at his state, Elric laughs.

“Ah, are you going to use advanced magic? Do you really think you can defeat a dragon with that? You’re making me laugh.”

——Wrong.

A cold sweat flowed on Iris’ cheek.

It wasn’t at that level. The enormous amount of magic power flowing out of Haruto is something she has never felt before. And the magic circle that envelops around him as well.

Haruto-kun …… No way.

Elric spread out his arms and smiled in a welcoming way.

“Well then, give it a try! Go ahead, shoot! It was Meltdown, right? Right——”

“——Burning out hell, dust and end heaven”

“Eh?”

His spell chanting didn’t stop.
