Part 5

The fumes from the explosion cleared away.

The ones remaining on top of the now mushy shell was only Vanaknes. Within his arms, the mermaid shaped Demonic Being was limp and vanishing.

Vanaknes glared at Diablo with his now deep red eyes.

「Why! Why did you drag her into this!?」

「I don’t understand what you mean. With you confronting me as an enemy, what is so strange about me attacking you? To begin with, aiming for the Healer first is a reasonable strategy.」

「Damn you! Damn you! I will absolutely kill you!」

The opponent kicked at the ground under his feet.

In an instant, he closed the distance between them.

As expected, this guy was a Fistfighter type.

Diablo devoted himself to evasion. He didn’t do anything like fight back with his sword.

The 《Tonnerre Empereur・Libéré》 was excellent even as a large sword, but he had equipped it for the effect that changes his attacks to become sevenfold──to strengthen his magic.

He wouldn’t do something as foolish as slash at a close combat specialist with an inexperienced sword.
