Chapter 26: Triggering the flag to slap yourself in the face

Chapter 26: Triggering the flag to slap yourself in the face

An extremely loud explosion resounded in the forest known as the demon forest.

In Eiji's view, a huge straight line that destroyed the land and forest stretched before him for hundreds of meters with twenty meters wide.

The beastmen named Ajax was thrown very far by it and he seemed to crash into a mountain in the distance.

After completing the transformation of Demon King Varvatos, although now the fusion level had only reached 25%.

In addition to experiencing changes in appearance such as white hair and velvet red eyes that made him even more handsome.

Eiji felt that his body was filled with flowing magic.

Many of Varvatos' magic spells were imprinted in his brain and what he used before was one of the offensive spells.

Wind Magic: [Giga Wind]

A high-level wind spell that generates powerful air currents.

Before Ajax was about to touch the girls, he instantly created a magic circle or rune in front of him with a wave of his hand in 0.1 seconds.

That speed must be something extraordinary among witches or mages, especially when it was a high-level magic spell.

But who is he now?

Well he's a person who pretends to be the Demon King Varvatos and has some of his power.

25% to be exact.

Even though he didn't know the details of the original work, Eiji was sure that the protagonist Varvatos/Ard Meteor in the franchise was the type of protagonist with a god-level Mage role.

The protagonist's peak strength was definitely something that exceeded planetary level.

After all, 25% of his power was already this strong, and Eiji knew there were other magic spells much stronger than [Giga Wind] that he could use at the moment.

As expected of the protagonist of the world of sword and sorcery.

I feel like Varvatos is cheating too much, right?

?{Host, in the future you will definitely become stronger than him. But putting that aside, did you forget your enemy is not just one? That guy named Jack is now right behind you with a huge sword that is gathering energy.}

?{He's going to slash you!}

'Calm Miss System. You're panicking too much.'

Eiji saw a large, dark shadow blocking his own under the purple sky that shone like the sun.

Behind him, there was a humanoid wolf named Jack who was swinging his sword horizontally.

The other party seemed to want to cut him in half.

"I admit we may have underestimated you too much, but you're now caught off guard! Human, die!"

Jack smiled coldly, the huge sword he swung emitted a green aura, tearing through the air and the speed was extremely fast!

Even so, without looking back.

Eiji shook his head mentally and chanted another magic spell quickly.

"Wall."

As the name suggests, the spell created a wall.

A magic circle was created and a translucent barrier immediately enveloped him.

*Bang!!*

The huge sword with a terrifying green aura that was about to cut him now crashed into his magic barrier.

Jack was surprised to see his attack successfully blocked.

But he still wasn't done, with a smirk on his face.

He continued to press his sword into Eiji's magic barrier, the green aura on his sword even stronger, making the ground under his feet break.

*Crack*

Cracks began to appear in his magic barrier, Eiji widened his eyes slightly.

At this moment, Ajax, the tiger Beastmen suddenly appeared in front of him with fists shrouded in red aura.

After being hit by a high level magic attack earlier, he was not injured in the slightest which was proof that his physique was very strong.

"Bastard! How dare a mere carbon human call me cat!"

"I am the great galactic tiger! I'll kill you right now!"

*Bang!!!*

*Crack*

An even bigger crack appeared in the magic barrier, and the scene outside the barrier was already badly damaged by the two Beastmen's attack.

Eiji raised his eyebrows, he raised one hand up and chanted another spell.

A high level spell.

"Ultima Fire Pillar."

A huge red magic circle appeared under his feet, covering everything within a 100-meter radius - including Ajax and Jack of course.

In no time, a giant pillar of fire exploded into the sky from that magic circle. Except for Eiji, everything within his magic range was burned and destroyed.

From a distance, many supernatural beings living in the demon forest saw the giant pillar of fire that pierced the sky.

There were also terrifying magic fluctuations contained in that fire.

Whoever did that, they knew someone must be fighting.

Many of them chose to flee, and some powerful creatures gazed at the scene with interest.

Inside a certain cave deep in the demon forest. A pair of blue eyes that were originally closed opened.

She was looking in a certain direction where that sizable magic fluctuations were coming from.

Inside the magic barrier he had restored, Eiji saw the surrounding scenery filled with smoke.

With a wave of his hand, a simple wind spell, the smoke soon dissipated and he could finally see the ground destroyed and scorched as far as he could see.

The two Beastmen were nowhere to be found, but he was not naive enough to believe the previous attack was enough to kill both of them.

And sure enough.

The sound of laughter came from a certain direction, tens of meters away from him to be precise.

Two figures that were slightly charred, but looked fine stood looking at him.

"Hahaha! For a human, you're pretty good at playing magic."

"But too bad, you're fighting Luhan Beastmen like us."

"Our physique is so strong, even all your previous attacks meant nothing to us."

"Now it's our turn to get a little serious, right Jack?"

"..."

Jack didn't answer, but a terrifying green aura exploded from his body, making the gravity around him change.

Many pebbles under his feet began to float and crumble into ashes.

Ajax grinned, he did the same with his red aura and it exploded.

The auras of the two were like terrifying beasts that covered hundreds of meters with their pressure.

Eiji's excretion was a little ugly seeing this.

"Aren't they both Beastmen? Why do I feel like they're both Super Saiyan-like?"

"Hey they're not from that franchise, right?"

Who was she asking? Miss System, of course.

?{I'm sure they're not from Dragon Ball. But host, they must be from another franchise with an unknown power system.}

"You can't confirm the details?"

?{Sorry host, but without a clear clue. I don't have the ability to identify which franchise someone is from.}

"..."

Eiji wanted to say something more, but Ajax instantly appeared in front of him and punched his magic barrier.

Unlike before, this time his magic barrier broke and he was thrown backwards.

In the process, as he watched the sky move quickly.

Jack appeared with a sword in his hand and made a brutal slash in the air.

Even with the Sharingan, Eiji was almost too late to react.

"Skywalker."

As if stepping on air, he flew in the sky and instantly opened the distance from the two Beastmen.

"Oh, flying magic?"

Jack who failed with his slash was not upset, but he looked at Eiji who was flying far in the sky flatly.

"Hehe, do you think we can't chase you in the sky?"

Ajax grinned, he jumped high, on par with Eiji.

He was basically flying.

Jack also did the same before the two finally attacked again.

...

..

..

A moment ago outside the demon forest.

As Rias, Sona, Lala and the others began to worry about Eiji, especially when they felt many earth-shaking explosions happening in the depths of the forest.

Sona had even called her older sister as she felt the situation was an emergency.

She was worried that Eiji would die while fighting the two men.

Eiji was her fiancé after all.

So she asked for help.

The figure of a beautiful twintail black-haired girl also finally appeared from the teleportation magic circle.

With a short body, but with bigger breasts than Sona.

She was Sona's older sister who came while wearing a pink Magical Girl costume.

There was also a heart-shaped magic wand in her hand.

Her appearance left everyone speechless.

Sona felt her face burning with embarrassment.

My older sister...

What clothes are you wearing?

Can you come in more normal clothes!?

The girl complained in her heart.

"Sona-chan! Onee-chan is coming~!

"Oh, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to call Onee-chan! What's wrong, miss me? Onee-chan missed you too, Sona-chan!"

Excited.

And excited.

Serafall Leviathan, immediately hugged his little sister tightly like a koala.

"Let go, let go of me Onee-sama!"

"Stop hugging me, my friends are watching!"

Sona rebelled in her sister's arms and managed to extricate herself from the little girl's embrace.

Serafall was a little displeased, as usual her younger sister was very shy and dishonest.

In front of your friends, you were still shy when Onee-chan hugged you?

By the way she finally turned to what Sona called her friends.

All of them were girls she knew of course, except for the pink-haired girl who looked pretty and innocent.

She stood in front of the group of girls and struck a magical girl pose.

"Rias-chan, Akeno-chan, Tsubaki-chan and ... The cute girl with pink hair. Hello~ Serafall Leviathan☆, Levia-tan☆ has arrived!"

Her childish smile and sweet smile, overwhelmed Rias and the others and they just nodded.

They certainly knew Sona's older sister.

But Lala was certainly seeing Serafall for the first time.

The other party's smile and actions somehow also made her smile childishly.

She took out her hand to make introductions and said, "Hello Levia-tan, I'm Lala Satalin Deviluke, nice to meet you."

"Oh! Oh! Nice to meet you Lala-chan!"

Serafall naturally took Lala's hand and they shook hands.

The two seemed to get along very quickly, leaving everyone a little surprised.

But this was not the time for that, Sona hurriedly coughed and said: "Onee-sama, I called you here because I need your help."

"Oh? Sona-chan needs Onee-chan's help? Of course, Onee-chan will do for you!"

Serafall finished shaking hands with Lala, and she looked at her younger sister curiously.

She could honestly hear that inner voice as well.

She could slightly guess why Sona looked worried about someone at the moment.

And sure enough.

Her younger sister called her to...

"Onee-sama, I need you to help Eiji! He's fighting with two very strong people in the forest. I need you to help him!"

"Levia-tan! I'm also asking you for help. According to Sona, you strong, can you help Eiji?"

Lala also begged Serafall.

Rias and the others looked at Serafall as if asking her for the same thing.

"..." Serafall who was asked by everyone fell silent.

She certainly knew who the Eiji that Sona and everyone was referring to was.

The other party was the one who had defeated her younger sister in chess and was arguably her younger sister's current fiancé.

The other party was also the person whose inner voice she could hear all this time.

Although she was attracted to him, it was mainly because of him that she was able to know Sona's little secret.

Even so, she still hadn't accepted him as her cute little sister's fiancé.

But because of her sister's pleading expression and all those cute girls.

She nodded.

"Okay, leave this matter to Levia-tan☆!"

"I can feel some people fighting in the forest."

"I'll go to... Huh?"

Serafall was originally about to teleport directly to Eiji's location.

But she felt crazy and dangerous magic energy fluctuations!

She immediately stood in front of Sona and the others and formed a magic barrier as soon as possible.

"Everyone! Stay behind me!"

Sona, Rias, Lala and the others were confused.

But they saw beyond Serafall's magic barrier.

The sky in the depths of the forest was shining brightly, it was very far away and the location must be exactly where Eiji and his two enemies were fighting.

A pillar of light pierced the sky, from a distance it looked small, but it slowly widened and was accompanied by a very loud earthquake.

Although they were not actually hit by the explosion.

The strong wind blowing from the center of the explosion was enough to make the trees in front of them fall and fly!

The blinding light in front of their eyes made them all close their eyes.

There was the same question on their minds.

Who made an explosion of this magnitude?

Was it Eiji or his enemy?

They all certainly hoped it was the former rather than the latter!

A/N 2

Dog Author: "You might be wondering why Eiji didn't just use Excalibur at full power to end the fight right away? Well I gave the opportunity for Eiji to use his other rewards:) Also in the next few Chapters I forgot Eiji had "Full Counter". This plot was slow and it was still the same day, but in the next plot I'll try to make it faster. I'll shorten some things with monologues and...*BAM!*"

Miss System: "Author-san, are you okay?!"

Dog Author: "Cough! It's okay little girl, don't worry. Someone threw a power stone at my head. It doesn't hurt because it's only 0 damage."

Miss System: "You said that, but you vomited blood."

Eiji: "So you're a little girl, Miss System?"

Miss System: "That's what you're catching from all this nonsense, host?"

Dog Author: "Eiji, you might have to suffer a little later."

Eiji: "???"
