“Chapter 190: The Most Durable Skin”

– Takaya, you should stand further back. Things will get ugly.

– Got it. That goes for you too, Raviola-sama.

– …

No response. Raviola was left dumbfounded at the sight of her friend having transformed.

– What… is going on here…?

Presumably sensing the absurd amount of magic emanating from the field, Rizerotta, Ergeet and Erieet approached the scenario.

– Wow…

– It’s just like you said, Rotta.

Rizerotta was the only one I could confide in. She was skeptical but she agreed to help us. It was thanks to her that Mumuruu conveniently never crossed paths with Raviola.

– Is this why you two have been so obsessed with killing demons? (Rizerotta)

– Eating Raigoh must’ve drastically accelerated Seventh’s comeback. (Takaya)

With much care to avoid raising suspicions, Seventh contaminated Septe’s mind with pure hatred for demons.

Generation after generation, her lineage has been helping Seventh conquer the world.

– Shall we begin?

– Are you done with your last words?

– As if I need them. Besides, this place is　　　　　…

Kouya vanished completely from the battlefield.

Underground, behind, on the sky… It didn’t matter where Seventh looked, the demon was nowhere to be found.

But his thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

– 　　　　. Dimensional Tempo.

A gate between the human world and the demon world appeared behind him.

From the portal came out a sword that missed Seventh’s neck by the length of a hair.

– You like that? I borrowed that technique from an old pal. Sorry, but I’m not here to play around.

Kouya once again tried to strike at Seventh’s neck, but he was met with the sound of metal clashing and sparks.

– It doesn’t matter how many of these demon swords I try. All of them taste like s̲h̲i̲t̲.

Seventh easily blocked the strike with his sword arm.

– Hey, are you sure you’re not playing around? I’m right here. Come at me. (Seventh)

– I’m not stupid enough to fall on your bluff.

Kouya threw the sword back into the portal and repositioned mid-air to deliver a devastating kick to Seventh’s face.

– You sucked the magic from the sword I dumped, huh? You’re like a fly eating trash.

– How does it feel to be struggling against a fly? (Seventh)

– Oh, cheeky, aren’t we?

Kouya took another weapon from the portal connecting to his warehouse.

– Hmm, you still got more. (Seventh)

– Yeah, but this one is for personal use. I… What!?

– Haha, I can do that too, you know?

Seventh grabbed a sword from a portal linked to the warehouse.
