[The Price of Playing With Fire]

“Kh, you think you can resist me, an incubus, with the likes of ‘Lewd Crest’…!”

Grit, Hesperios vexedly clenched his teeth.

Lewd Crest…?As I tilted my head, Zana sneered and said, “Unfortunately, these aren’t Lewd Crests. While the Lewd Crest you incubus use is a proof of enslavement that gives women both physical and mental pleasure, these crests of ours are proofs of our love and bond with him. Don’t lump them together with something superficial whose only use is for pleasure, all right?”

I see, looked like that ‘Lewd Crest’ thing was a mark put on sex slaves.

Certainly, it was completely different from my phoenix crest—‘Phoenix Seal’.

The reason being,

“I second the princess. Yer crest can’t overflow us with power like this, can it?”

From Ophir’s body who laughed boldly, out came swaying flame-like aura.

And, it wasn’t just Ophir.

“Fumu, 《Full Enhancement》 is applied on our power through the Phoenix Seal, huh. It sure is worthy to be the proof of our love.”

“Indeed. I don’t know what that Sacred Treasure or whatever is, but I’ll now say it once again. —You can never surpass me.”

“Mm. We’re Exa’s wives, after all. As long as Exa’s with us, we’ll never lose.”

“You heard them. Sorry, but we already have someone we love. There’s no way we can be captivated by the likes of you, understand?”

“You all…”

Arca, Magmell, Tirna, and Zana, though different in colors, were also wrapped in the same aura.

“Gh, cheeky lasses…” Hesperios’s beautiful face distorted in anger.

I then transformed into Vermillion Bird Form and said, “You lost to those lasses. And this time, you’ll lose to me as well.”

Woosh, when I thrust out a single-edged sword-turned Hinokaguzuchi, Hesperios said with a smirk, “Could you not get ahead of yourself…? I’m in a REALLY bad mood right now, see…”

“What a coincidence. I can’t wait to beat you up since a while ago, either. Sorry but, I’m not going to hold back.”

At that moment,

“—I told you, don’t get ahead of yourself!”

Blaze! Hesperios shot out a massive blue flame from his staff.

It was a chant-less Magic Art, I expected no less from a ‘Staff’ Saint.

However.

“That’s—my line!”

――BAAANG!

At the same time, I jumped forward and received it with Hinokaguzuchi while raising my voice towards the girls, “I’ll deal with this guy! Everyone, please go rescue the injured and suppress the captivated dwarves! And of course, don’t kill anyone!”

“““““Yes!”””””

After seeing they all nodding, I unleashed my power to deal with Hesperios.

◇ ◇

――Impossible!?

――Impossible!?

――Impossible!?

――Impossible!?

Amidst the burning flames, Hesperios was furious and confused.

His charm, who was supposed to be the highest-ranked incubus and ‘Staff’ Saint that harnessed the Sacred Treasure which specialized in Magic Art, was broken before the love and bond of humans.

Such a thing had never happened before in his life.

The reason being, humans, demi-humans, and even monsters, so long as they were ‘female’, had always fallen before him.

Yet, why was his charm not working on them!?

Why didn’t they become his!?

――Why!?

――Why!?

――Why!?

――Why!?

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

――Blaze!

“Ghh!? Don’t look down on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

SWOOOOOOOSH! Hesperios shot out innumerable number of wind slashes.

Similar to the blue flame from earlier, it was a high-level Magic Art.

The Magic Art would normally tear everything apart with just a touch yet,

“Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

――Blaze!

“—Wha!?”

Yet why didn’t this guy turn into shreds!?

Could he be deflecting everything with that attribute weapon!?

No, that’s impossible!

Even if he borrowed the power of the goddesses, the Magic Arts of Hesperios who wielded the Sacred Treasure bestowed upon him,

The high-level Magic Arts of the ‘Staff’ Saint Hesperios who possessed the rare skill 《Void Staff》,

There was absolutely no way he could defend against them with an unknown sword made by some nameless blacksmith!

――Snap!

““—!?””

Look, it had even shattered now.

It was a matter of course.

After all, Hesperios was chosen as the ‘Staff’ Saint by the Goddess of the End.

――SWOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

Seriously, what a pathetic man.

Despite having lost the weapon he depended upon, he still tried to defend against Hesperios’s wind blades. Wasn’t it futile?

That being said, the man was immortal.

If so, I’d just cut him into small pieces, put each piece into a bottle and—

Just then.

――Grab!

“—!?”

A stretched-out hand suddenly came before Hesperios and grabbed him in the face.

When he looked over, the man’s whole body, which was supposed to have been torn to pieces, were covered in flames.

I see, this guy’s already…!?

“—Hey, Incubus. Do you know that putting your hand on another man’s woman is called ‘playing with fire’?”

“W-what are you…!?”

“You seem to like playing with fire a lot. In that case, I’ll let you play with fire to your heart’s content.”

――Blaze!

“—!?”

At that moment, Hesperios’s field of vision was filled with bright red flames.

“Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!?”

――Hot!?

――Hot!?

――Hot!?

――Hooo……!?

Thus, Hesperios’s consciousness vanished as if melted by scorching storm.
