Elric’s complexion changes.

He didn’t know such a spell.

He has never heard of it.

——No way.

“You …… that’s ……”

Impossible.

This guy——no way.

“Haha … Oy oy, you can’t even …… bluff your way out of this, can you?”

Flames swirl around Haruto.

The ferocious quantity of heat created a wind that rushed through the church.

From beneath the floor, a sound like the rumbling of earth echoes.

It sounded as if the gates of hell had opened.

The previously quiet Flame Dragon let out a roar.

Flames rise from its huge body as well.

It roared intimidatingly towards Haruto.

Elric stared at the Flame Dragon, and then at Haruto in disbelief.

A dragon, who is supposed to be an absolute being, is afraid of Haruto?

This guy—— no way, really, the ultimate——,

The air reverberates and makes a noise.

Haruto’s eyes glow red.

“——To the ultimate hell beyond”

Around Haruto, a magic circle which was glowing red further unfolds.

A gigantic and elaborate three-dimensional magic circle, which no human being could have achieved, has been assembled.

An infinite amount of magic power, which couldn’t be produced by humans, has streamed in.

Then Haruto, greatly holds his sword, and,

“Ultima Zeno Inferno!!”

Flame.

It was a flame, and something more.

It was only for a moment.

The moment Haruto’s sword flashed, the Flame Dragon spewed fire.

Negating such fire, Haruto’s flame pierced the invincible dragon.

Without being able to counterattack, evade, or raise a voice, the Flame Dragon is swept away by the flames.

It was absurd that a dragon of fire, became a prey of his flames.

The flames, which defied all common sense, knocks the Flame Dragon out of the church with its pressure.

The resulting shockwave crumpled the church building in an instant, scattering debris in all directions.

The flames that engulfed the Flame Dragon went straight ahead, vaporizing the water in the lake.

The moment the flames touched the water of the lake,

A large explosion occurred.

And a dazzling flash of light.

The extraordinary shockwave hollowed the lake, creating a tidal wave in the quiet lake.

The seemingly endless flames completely erased the Flame Dragon’s existence.

Huge explosive flames rose up as if piercing the heavens, and clouds of steam smoke were created.

It was a catastrophe unlike anything they’ve ever seen.

This is Blaze’s ultimate magic.

The end of hell, and beyond.

It was a very special kind of hellfire.

Its power is so tremendous, that even Elric, who stood near the Flame Dragon, wasn’t left unharmed.

The flames burned Elric’s body and even blew out the purple flames that surrounded his body.

However ——

Haruto went over to where Elric was standing, and he looked down at the disappearing magic circle of transition.

“He got away huh……”

But, with a magic circle of this size, he couldn’t have gone very far.

Haruto raises his face, and looks around.

The roof and also the walls of the church, had vanished like a lie, and it was hard to believe that there had been a church in this place earlier. There are barely any remnants of the mosaic pattern on the floor, and it only looks like an open space.

The place they’re at appears to be on the far end of Grandia, where a lake spreads out in front. Since the surrounding area was like a harbor, it was fortunate that there weren’t many building around.

However, if he turns around, he could see the streets of Grandia. Thinking like I’m just glad that I didn’t shoot my ultimate magic in that direction , Haruto sweated coldly at this late hour.

“Haruto-kun!”

Iris is looking at Haruto, as her eyes were welling up with tears.

Haruto gave her a thumbs up.

“That was an easy win.”

“In what place!? You’re full of scratches!”

Indeed, he had taken quite a few attacks from Elric, so he was covered in blood.

Iris takes out a first aid kit from her pocket, and starts to treat Haruto’s wounds.

Since she would touch his body directly, a Northern Demon (Tempest) should appear again, but she decided that it was unavoidable.

While wrapping a bandage at Haruto’s arm,

“Thank you…… Haruto-kun.”

“For what?”

“Thanks to Haruto-kun, I feel like my worries have been blown away.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

As she knew that he was earnest when he said that, Iris leaked out a smile with a whiff.

After finishing the treatment, Iris continued to hold Haruto’s hand.

“……”

“……”

They waited for a while, but the Northern Demons (Tempest) never appeared.

“……it isn’t coming”

“Ah…… it may be, but——”

When Haruto began to talk, Iris came to his face straightforwardly.

“As I thought, Haruto-kun was thinking the same thing!? That purple flame, Elric said that it was the spirit of the Demon King —— he used to call it the flame of the 『Soul of the Demon King』. That means ……”

“The Demon King inside us is the half-body. In other words, it’s the 『body』.”

“If the 『Soul of the Demon King』 is really the spirit of the Demon King……”

“Extinguishing that purple flame, means extinguishing the Demon King’s 『soul』. The reason why the Reincarnation wedding(necromance) also no longer occurs, was it because of this?”

“So, if we could completely erase the soul of the Demon King, then!”

Hope overflowed in Iris’ face.

“Haruto-kun!”

Iris couldn’t contain herself and jumped on Haruto.

She put her hands on his body and brought her face to his chest. Haruto also put his hand on Iris’ back and closely hugged her.

“Ah, if we can completely extinguish the flames of the 『Soul of the Demon King』, we’ll be able to——”

“We, can have sex!!” (TN: Thirsty!)

“——Eh”

Time stood still.

Iris, replayed her statement inside her own mind. Her face turned red up to her ears.

She jumped back and moved away from Haruto.

“I,i,i,i,i,i,i,it’s different! Just now! Tha,that’s not what I meant!! I,i,it doesn’t mean that I want to do it in particular! Tha,that’s…… yes! It’s just a metaphor!”

“I,I get it. I understand, so calm down——”

“O~~y! Haru~~to-sa~n! I~ris-s~an!!”

Then, they heard a laid-back voice calling at them.

When they looked over, they saw Adelina and Clara crossing the bridge and coming towards them.

“The explosion some time ago …… Harurun!?”

“Wawah! You’re injured desu! Are you okay nodesu!?”

When the two came close to them, they both rounded their eyes at the bandaged Haruto.

“Ah…… I was hunting down the Northern demons(Tempest) who ran away. This injury is not a big deal”

“Are you sure!? Adelina-chan also has a state-of-the-art, ultra-luxurious medical set, you know!?”

Haruto stopped Adelina as she tried to pull a rather large box out of her pocket.

“Don’t worry about me. More than that, what about the city?”

“Yup. It’s all taken care of alread~y! We were lu~cky that all the students were out on the town for their closing part~y!”

“It was also fortunate that we held a subjugation competition the other day nodesu. Everyone remained calm and defeated the Northern Demons(Tempest). nodesu”

“I see, that’s good to know. ……Nn?”

Sensing a presence behind him, Haruto turned around. A half-fish type Northern demon(Tempest) that was trying to get on land was there.

Haruto put on a suspicious look.

That’s? Reincarnation wedding (necromance) …… I thought it was OK to make out with Iris now?

While Haruto was worried about that,

“There was still here nodesu!”

“Alright! Let’s get rid of it! Claran!”

Adelina and Clara, slipped past Haruto and Iris, and went to fight off the half-fish.

Iris snuggles up to Haruto, who was making a difficult face.

“Apparently, it’s okay to hold hands, but hugging still seems to be like a bad idea.”

…… I see, it was such a thing huh.

“But, I saw a way to advance forward.”

Looking up at Haruto, who replied so, Iris secretly held hands with him so that Adelina and Clara wouldn’t notice it.

Haruto also gently squeezed her hand back.

——Magic Association Prospero.

I’ll be sure to hunt you down, and defeat you.
