A week has passed since I had a fireworks display with my friends in my club.

One morning in mid-August.

Me and Gaius were standing on the sea.

"Okay, let's have a mock battle...you get a shot in five minutes, you win. Okay?"

Gaius nods and uses his creation magic to create twin swords.

"Come on, brother!"

A tremendous amount of magical power and fighting aura erupts from the younger brother's body.

All of these combine to super-enhance Gaius.

This is a forbidden art.

It is one of the techniques for strengthening the body.

"Seyaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Gaius begins by charging at us at speeds exceeding the speed of light.

He runs over the sea as if it were natural, and stabs with a violent column of water.

Zubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I just barely miss the thrust, and half-crawl to avoid it.

Gaius disappears right in front of me the moment I realize that the attack is no longer effective.

"Transference. That's good."

Gaius, who has remained in the sky above me, reaches out to me below.

"[Nova Strike]!"

The extremely powerful magic is unleashed without chanting.

A huge ball of fire flies toward me at high speed.

I raise my sword and try to cut it off.

Amai! Time stop!

At that moment, time stops flowing in the world.

Space-time magic.

It is the magic of time manipulation.

Even my master in a previous life, Sally the Wise, could not master this art.

Even the magic that only I, the god of valor, could master... Gaius had mastered it.

Now, since time has stopped, I'm stuck.

In the meantime, Gaius produces 10 more fireballs of purgatorial fire and shoots them at me.

Time starts to move, and ten consecutive, violent bombardments occur.

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The sea evaporates and turns to sand.

"It's amazing that you can use space-time magic!"

I mutter behind Gaius' back.

"Shit! How come you're unharmed?"

"What, you just shifted a moment after you released time standstill, right? It's not hard to do.

Well, you would! You monster!"

Gaius fires a purgatorial fireball at close range.

The blast creates a smokescreen.

Gaius moves away from me in the meantime.

"That's not true! There you go.

Time in the world stops again.

"Hooyah!"

Without calling out the name of the magic, I simultaneously and unchanted release a fireball of purgatorial karma.

Come on, time to move!

The bombardment dries up the sea again.

A moment later, Gaius shifts, takes my back, and comes in for a blow.

Pitter-patter!

"See, you can do it. That's great!"

I stop Gaius' twin swords by pinching them with my fingers.

"d*mn! I'm not happy to be praised by a guy who doesn't even tell me the name of his magic and simultaneously shoots extremely powerful magic at me!"

"No, no, no, you can do it. You've been watching me, haven't you?

Even in a frozen world, we always have time-stopping wards inside our bodies.

But my brother must have been watching.

He saw what I could do.

"Kuray!"

At that moment, several huge balls of karma fire simultaneously deployed around me.

That's the move I just showed you.

"Yes, you're right."

I take out my magic sword and swing it lightly to the side.

All of the fireballs that Gaius had sent out are bounced off by the attack reflection (parry).

They fly off in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

But before they scatter, Gaius' twin swords cut them all down.

The Sword of the Void.

The sword of the saint that cuts through all things and blots them out into the void.

"You made sure it wouldn't fly into the city by mistake. That's good!"

"Whee! ......! Huh ......! d*mn!"

Gaius transferred and cut down several extremely large magic spells in the space of a moment.

He is drenched in sweat and breathing on his shoulders.

"Shall we stop now?"

"Not yet. I haven't shown [everything] to my ...... brother yet!"

"Oh, you have more tricks up your sleeve?"

Gaius nods.

He closes his eyes and regulates his breathing.

The aura of forbidden magic that had been emanating from him disappears for a moment.

"Take it, brother. Take my ...... best!"

That's when.

A tremendous amount of magic and fighting spirit erupts from Gaius' hands.

They mingled together and were absorbed into his brother's body.

Gaoowoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

The aura of the forbidden arts that was raging was not the same as before.

Like a raging tornado, the immense power transformed my brother's body.

His beautiful golden hair turns pure white.

Blue eyes turn red like rubies.

Around his eyes, bruises reminiscent of lightning appeared.

It looks like a beautiful tattoo.

"[Demonification]. You've been wearing it."

It is a secret technique for strengthening the body that exists on a higher level than the forbidden arts.

All the magic power and all the fighting energy are mixed together in equal amounts without any deviation and taken into the body.

Which is a dangerous technique that a few millimeters of discrepancy can result in death.

But if you succeed, you will be as strong as a demon god.

"Did I teach you how to become a demon god?"

"No. I just naturally came to it as I was mastering the technique myself."

"I see. That's great, little brother. Well, let's go.

I hold up my magic sword.

Gaius holds twin swords in each hand.

"Come on, brother!"

"Come, brother."

A moment later, he disappears.

Transference? No, he moved at super-speed.

When you're a demon god, every movement is like a transition.

Gakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

I catch Gaius' double-blade blow with my sword.

The aftermath splits the sea and the earth.

It is a blow that could cut off part of a star.

But Gaius immediately restores the earth with his creation magic.

It is a great blow.

Just when you think that he is going to continue with his barrage of blows....

Boom!

Gaius' twin swords shattered.

"d*mn!"

Gaius immediately reforms his sword and swings it.

Clap! Clunk!

"Shit!"

"Ummm ......"

After that, Gaius swings his sword, but it breaks with a crack each time.

I am not destroying the weapon.

The sword breaks on its own.

After a while.

"All right, five minutes. Five minutes.

Gaius releases his demigodification.

The two of them transfer to land.

The younger brother grits his teeth.

"I couldn't get him a blow after all. ...... d*mn it."

"No, you're good enough. You are."

I look at the twin swords in Gaius' hands.

They were made by my brother with magic.

The blades are broken.

"Brother, what do you mean I'm good enough?"

"You know that, don't you?"

Gaius looks at the broken twin swords.

"You mean these swords?"

"Yes. Obviously, your weapons cannot keep up with your strength."

It reminds me of the fight we just had.

The sword was breaking every time I swung it.

The sword could not stand up to the strength and speed of Gaius, who was like a demigod.

Should we create a more powerful sword?

No, magic can only create weapons of iron orihalcon. They cannot withstand the strength of the demigods. That has been proven in the current battle, hasn't it?"

In fact, Gaius' weapons are made of orichalcons.

"...... I don't know if this is a new thing, but I'm able to make Orihalcon quickly and easily, aren't I?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"I've been feeling paralyzed ...... with you lately, and I don't know what's common sense anymore."

Gaius sighs deeply.

"Anyway, magic weapon creation is convenient, but there's a time lag each time it's used, and I can't stand the demonized Gaius."

"Well, what should I do?"

I thought for a moment and patted my brother on the head.

"Leave it to me. I'll make you the best weapon I know."
