Unjust Ending

A knife glitters, and

the straight sword repels it.

An intense offense and

defense were unrolled since a while.

Each of them made their

feints and schemes in order to advance in the fight advantageously.

High-level psychological

warfare was carried out.

While Souei and Laplace

were fighting, their fight was interrupted as Kazaream has fallen while being

completely scorching together with a roaring sound.

By the impact from when

Kazaream was flung against it, the hall floor split open and the fragments

scatter around.

As proof that Kazaream’s

body was burnt with high temperature, the marble which covered the floor began

to melt.

Naturally, Kazaream was

not unharmed.

Half of his body was

burnt by fire, it became a terrible sight that normally no one would think that

he’s alive.

But, Kazaream was alive

even in such condition.

「

Ah,

nee-san!

」

Laplace was surprised

and ran toward Kazaream in a hurry.

In such panic as no one

would imagine from his arrogant attitude.

Even Leon and co who

were treating their injury while watching the fight of Souei and Laplace, have

their movement stopped as they seen the terrible sight of Kazaream.

Everyone was able to

understand from the mere sight of his appearance.

Benimaru won, and

Kazaream’s life begun to exhausted.

Spiritual lifeforms were

the people who stood at the top of this world with their tenacious vitality.

However, from the moment

their mind was broken and acknowledging one’s defeat, their vitality (=energy)

quickly decreases and leads to their death.

Kazaream’s situation was

exactly that, everyone can see his defeat with their eyes, his energy started

to decrease very fast.

Souei didn’t stop paying

attention to Laplace while being cautious.

He didn’t think that it

was a ruse, if it was a scheme, he judged that it would be dangerous to move

carelessly.

Comparing both of them,

Laplace and Souei were almost equal.

He would get defeated

when he shown a fatal mistake, he was able to understand it from the bout he

had a little while ago.

Souei watched Laplace’s

behavior carefully.

Benimaru landed without

a sound from the sky next to them.

「

Did

you end it? But, aren’t you overdoing it a little?

」

「

No,

his energy exceeded mine.

There’s no reason to go

easy on him.

If I didn’t finished it

with my full power, it would be a war of attrition.

If it happen, this side

will lose if I make a bad mistake.

」

Benimaru answered

Souei’s question.

In fact, if you compare

the size of the base energy, Kazaream has twice more of Benimaru.

Benimaru borrowed the

energy from Rimuru through the Soul’s corridor and barely obtained a power

equal to Kazaream.

It was a combat method

to borrow power from a higher ranking person that he learned from Diablo.

Naturally, the

requirements were hard and of course he couldn’t fully utilize Rimuru’s power

in combat.

Besides, it was

impossible to borrow it beyond one’s max energy.

That’s because it would

be uncontrollable.

Moreover, there are some

fine limitations, but it may be said that it’s a forbidden secret art to be

able to use abilities beyond one’s power.

Only the top three,

Diablo, Zegion and Benimaru were able to do it.

It was the ultimate art

that was concealed from the other executives.

(But, the only thing I

can’t understand till now, is Diablo’s intention when he taught me this……)

With such question in

his mind, Benimaru didn’t change his relaxed attitude with Souei.

Actually, he was able to

defend against Kazaream’s holy demonic fusion attack by letting the nihility

energy that he borrowed from Rimuru accelerate and cladding himself with it.

If it was only his own

power, he was certain that it would be a considerably hard fight.

If it was said whether

he would be able to win or not, he think that he might barely win, but Benimaru

didn’t think that he want to actually try so.

Anyway, one of the Four

Fiends of the Heaven Commanders, Kazaream was a powerful enemy.

「

Well

that might be true. Against such monstrous class, it’s unknown what kind of technique

he’s hiding.

」

「

Right

so

」

Souei didn’t pursuit the

matter anymore and nodded slightly.

As Souei understood so,

Benimaru begun to walk to deliver the final blow on Kazaream.

The victory is certain,

but there’s a possibility for Kazaream to revive if he’s not eliminated in this

place.

Since there’s no

insurance that he can win the next fight, Benimaru was going to erase him

without fail.

But, when Benimaru was

going to approach him, he heard Kazaream’s voice muttering.

When he hears the words,

Benimaru stops walking.

「

Hey,

Laplace…… where did I make a mistake?

」

He heard Kazaream mutter

with eyes which could not see anything towards the empty sky.

Kazaream’s recollection

continues.

「

In

the beginning, I only wanted a place where we could live in happily……

Because the shortcut for

it is to become a Demon Lord, I became one――

Then, I guess I had got

carried away……

」

「

Eh,

such thing. It was someone else who was getting carried away!

」

「

That’s

right, I remembered it. I felt aggravated by Leon who introduced himself as a

Demon Lord in spite of him being a human.

Fussing over such dull

matter, I provoked Leon for a fight……

Hahaa, I have awakened a

sleeping dragon……

And so I was killed and

I bore a grudge against Leon and lived for it all this time……

But, it’ mystery.

Why for such a thing all

this time――

We were only living

happily……

Laplace, you’re

mistaken, you see…… I …… I, made a mistake……

Again, we happily――――――

」

Kazaream’s consciousness

sinks to the bottom of the everlasting darkness.

――Ah……That’s right……I

must apologize to Clayman too――

It was the last words

that come to Kazaream’s mind.

「

Nee-san?

Kazaream-sama? Hey, it’s not good, being stubborn is ya redeeming feature you

know!

If ya give up, it would

be the end. It’s a lie, this can’t bae……

I ain’t be deceived,

stop bullshiting me! Once again together, we happily――

Do ya think we would let

you leave us so easily!? uuauooooooo!!!

」

Laplace cried aloud.

He was too defenseless,

and it was enough to stop Benimaru’s steps.

「

Eh,

this…… a lie, Kazaream-sama?

」

Tear who feebly sat

down, she became absent minded due to her inability to accept the reality.

Silence filled the room

like time has stopped――

「

Hoohoohooho!

Now is the time for my turn right!

」

With unnatural movement

like a machine, Footman sprang up suddenly.

He hold an ominous round

ball in his hands.

When he hold up the ball

in his hand over the sky. It occurred.

『

Yo,

my name is Velda.

It seems like Kazaream

was defeated? Or the brainwashing was removed?

Well, either way is

good.

Well now, I won’t be

speaking for a long time, I need to collect my objective quickly.]

The ball emits light and

drawn the figure of the youth―― Velda―― in the air.

The image linked with

the form and clearly showed the figure of the boy.

And the image spoke

those words out.

Everyone stopped moving

hearing the words. Not because they’re not interested with the boy’s talk, it

was because they can’t understand his goal and were at lost.

Moreover, a certain

intimidating aura can be felt from the boy.

Whether it was the

descend of his main body or it was just his body double?

Even Mizari and Leon who

were high ranking existences were overwhelmed by the aura they felt from the

boy, and they’re not able to act carelessly.

They stand alertly.

「

What

is it……? Kazaream-sama was brainwashed ye said!?

」

It was Laplace who

reacted.

「

Ye

bastard! What do ye think mah comrades are!!

」

Laplace showed his anger

which was rare to see.

But, his voice didn’t

reach Velda. He simply acted indifferently towards his goal without any

interest about Laplace.

Velda hold up his right

hand towards Kazaream without minding the reaction of the others.

At that moment, a light

separates from Kazaream’s burnt body and sucked into Velda’s hand.

「

As

if I let you do so!

」

Souei with a very quick

speed threw a stab at Velda, but his stab passes through the image and didn’t

activated the effect of one hit kill.

「

it’s

not an illusion? Illusion with real substance……?

」

「

This!?

Some kind of parallel existence?

」

Towards Leon and

Mizari’s analysis,

『

Ah,

you guys better not thinking too much about me. This is just a recording image.

Because I’m talking

while expecting you guys’ behavior, there bout to be a slight sense of

incongruity.

Well, I have finished

collecting my purpose, it’s time for me to disappear.

Oh yeah, I think I

should give you all a present for the end――

』

Velda said that he’s a

recorded image of himself.

It was Benimaru who was

the first to notice the abnormality.

Benimaru had sensed

beforehand that it was recorded image of Velda, and without being confused he

dashed towards the spot of Footman who held the ball.

The ball finished

emitting light and started to pulsating, it begun to erode Footman’s body.

「

Be

careful! That fat guy――

」

It simultaneously

happened with Benimaru’s warning.

Kazaream’s body emitted

light, then a powerful light and destructive power were unleashed to the

surroundings.

It made all of the

combined holy demonic energy goes amok and caused a condensed explosion.

The magic power swelled

to its maximum inside the container and was released instantly.

With a flash, the castle’s

hall is filled with heatless destructive lights.

The overwhelming killing

power scattered and attacked the people who were alive.

Velda’s intention was

when he retrieved the power he gave to Kazaream, he at the same time

manipulated the energy inside Kazaream’s body and make him explode.

「

Tch!

」

There’re few people who

were able to react.

Among them, Benimaru

evaded all of flashes of the explosion which could be said a difficult feat

while observing the surrounding situation.

Souei who was a distant

away from Kazaream, in an instant he positioned Footman as his shield and

deploy multiple barriers as his defense.

Mizari who didn’t have

any change in her expression, invoked barrier magic which wraps her whole body

and she was able to nullify half of it. She received damage from the remaining

energy, but as a spiritual life form the injury instantly regenerates.

Laplace was directing

his anger towards Velda beside Kazaream, but his life was saved due to his

foresight power.

He moved to Tear’s

location who was not able to react before the moment of the explosion, and he

created a barrier while covering Tear. Even so, he bore a serious injury on his

back, but he seemed to be able to avoid death barely.

And then, Leon’s

subordinates――

All of them seemed to be

safe due to the barrier which the Demon Lord Leon created and Leon who shielded

them like a shield with his own body.

But, Leon who

prioritized protecting his subordinates over his own self, had received

tremendous damage and was unable to move after being bathed in the destructive

light which he couldn’t nullify.

However, there’s still

light of unyielding will shining in Leon’s eyes and he didn’t let Velda go from

his sight.

The attack just now was

brutal, but there’s no one who died.

Benimaru who perceived

the situation let out a relieved sigh, but there’s a small uncomfortable

feeling.

He was able to sense

that uncomfortable feeling coming from Footman.

(What is this……?)

He has such question

but,

『

How’s

it? Was the fireworks beautiful?

Well now, it’s a

present, but I think it’s about time it join too.

I gave that Footman over

there Vega’s egg.

Although it’s reproduced

body transplanted with Ultimate Skill

『

Evil

Dragon Lord Azi Dahaka

』

, it have the

same ability.

If it absorbs the

explosion energy of Kazaream just now and acquired the holy demonic energy, I

wonder what would happens?

Oh well, whether it

succeeds or fails, both are good.

Well then, please enjoy

it to the fullest. Bye bye!

』

He lost consciousness

for only an instant as he understood the meaning of Velda’s words.

The words that were just

was a shock.

(Is that Transfer

Technique? Did he returned after getting the core inside Kazaream in his hand?)

Benimaru is analyzing,

but he was not confident whether it was the correct answer.

He had no time for it,

as he has the produced evil monster as the current problem.

He had received the

report of its combat ability from when one of the Four Fiends of the Heaven

Commanders, Vega was rampaging. It was fiendish monster having a considerable

immortal characteristics.

The effective way

against such monster is only by annihilating it with overwhelming energy.

However, if such monster

got holy demonic attribute, the usable means of attacking would decrease.

It means that monsters

which he can’t defeat if he was not skillful enough.

(This is bad. I used

Prominence Acceleration in the fight before, I haven’t recovered my energy

yet……)

If Benimaru uses the

strongest attack he has, he may exterminate it surely. However, even if he

borrows Rimuru’s nihility energy, he calmly concluded that it was dangerous as

the loss rate of his energy is too large.

In other words, he can’t

help but conclude that the war potential is insufficient against the monster――

the current Vega class―― which possess resistance to holy demonic attribute.

It backfired as Benimaru

had used his strongest attack against Kazaream.

He could defeat him even

if taking a bit of time, but he ended the fight with a swift attack so he could

take care of Laplace. That was Benimaru’s decision.

If he was fighting only

against Laplace, he would have enough remaining magic power. There’s also Souei

here, and so he judge that there’s no problem even if there’re 4 of awakened

Demon Lord class.

It may be said that

Benimaru’s decision which aim for a quick conclusion was never wrong.

But, he’s just

regretting his own hastiness currently.

For the current war

potential here, Leon is wounded all over his body and it’s hard to say that

Mizari is unharmed.

Although Souei is

uninjured, his ability is specialized against an individual. Because he doesn’t

have a long range attack, he’s not suitable for erasing Vega.

Above all, it’s

uncertain how will Laplace moves, preparation for that is needed.

People below than it are

not included in the war potential.

The strategy that can be

taken here might be only for him to be the leader and asking Mizari to assist

him.

He can’t help but expect

that Mizari has means for a wide area attack like Carrera.

In case she didn’t has

such means, she only need to buy some time for him to recover his energy.

Velda said everything

that he wanted to say, all his traces has suddenly vanished.

As the person itself

said, it seemed to be a recorded image beforehand.

What he need to be

cautious is only Footman who carried Vega’s egg.

The time needed for

Benimaru to finished collecting his thought was only a short time of 1/1000 or

less than one second.

But, even if that

thinking was just an instant, it was a decisive period.

When Benimaru turned his

sight to Footman, it had already happened.

「

Hooohoohooho.

Did you see, Laplace?

I, Footman the Angry

Clown just killed that hateful Leon.

Including

Kazaream-sama’s regrets, I will clear myself from this anger now!

」

Footman are saying as if

he’s the greatest.

Like backing his words,

Footman pulls out his thrust out hand from Leon’s chest.

A large amount of blood

flowed out.

「「「

Le,

Leon-sama!!

」」」

Leon’s subordinates

panicking.

Meanwhile, Leon

collapses in slow movement and vomits blood from his mouth in large quantities.

His heart was pierced,

and anyone was able to see that it was a fatal injury.

Having his consciousness

almost taken by Velda’s attack is one of the cause, Leon who was covered by

wounds all over his body, he’s already not be able to deal with Footman’s

movement.

Leon who is one of the

Octagram was on the verge of being killed now.

In case of Mizari who is

a spiritual lifeform, her core would be likely to be able to regenerate as long

as it was not destroyed.

However, Leon is a high

ranking human who possess holy body.

He was an awakened Hero,

which was similar to existence which don’t have lifespan but―― certainly it was

depending on the physical body.

If he evolves to be a

spiritual lifeform and become a demi god, the matter might have been different.

Footman continues

laughing loudly.

「

Are

ye a fool……

Didn’t ye hear Nee-san’s

last words……

」

Laplace tsukkomi to

Footman although he’s serious.

However, it didn’t enter

Footman’s ear.

Footman has already

lived in his delusion, his reason and his mind, everything already eaten away

by Vega’s egg.

「

What’s

this, Footman. Ye too has already broken――

」

Laplace frustratingly

muttered.

His eyes clearly sees

the future where Footman breaks.

Vega’s power continues

eroding him, Footman’s anger, mind and even memory are consumed to nothing.

In that case, the only

thing left is merely an incarnation of destruction.

「

I

ain’t going to forgive ye, Velda!!!

」

Laplace swore for a

revenge with anger in his heart.

「

Tear,

go away for a moment. I will start to be serious, after a long time.

」

「

Eh,

but…… Footman……?

」

「

Footman

is been controlled. By that bastard guy, Velda.

Therefore, I should quickly

end it.

」

「

――Understood.

Don’t act rashly!

」

「

By

the way, are ye keeping anything from Velda?

」

「

I

don’t have anything…… Probably, because I stick to Kazaream-sama all the time.

Laplace, don’t leave me

alone please……?

」

「

Hahaha,

leave it to me. I’m actually stronger than Kazaream-sama ye know?

」

「

Yes.

I knew.

」

Laplace turned his sight

to Footman while saying “what did ye know”.

His eyes already

swallowed all feelings and all the unrest in his heart disappears.

The Devil, Laplace

staggeringly stood up.

And then, he walks

carefreely to Benimaru’s side,

「

Say,

let’s have a temporary truce.

」

So he suggested that

brazenly.

Benimaru accepted the

suggestion.

There’s possibility

that’s a lie and a trap, but he was willing to do it including it.

Since Leon who he

expected for the biggest attack has fell, he would use any usable hands that

can be used.

Above all, Souei can be

added to the war potential as Laplace’s alertness is dispelled.

Souei didn’t opposed it,

he investigate Laplace’s movement with his clone. Both parties were engaged it

together.

They did a strategy

meeting while restraining Footman’s rampage.

He was worried about

Leon’s condition, but he gives priority to defeat Footman currently.

「

If

I’m not mistaken, that Vega guy suck up magic essence from the ground right?

」

「

As

long as he’s in contact with the ground, he could reproduce endless.

」

To Benimaru and Souei’s

converstation,

「

Please

don’t worry.

This castle is isolated

from the world by a spherical isolation barrier even from the ground.

Even the hole made by Benimaru-sama

and Kazaream-sama a while ago, its already been completely restored

」

Mizari answers.

It seems to have worked

without a flaw.

However, Benimaru

expects that there’s no means for long range attack.

Naturally Mizari can use

Nuclear Strike Magic, but he judges that a simple magic is not effective.

「

Then,

you Clown. Do you have any big move or something?

Because his regenerative

power is too high, he can recover immediately even if I cut him down you know?

」

「

Call

me Laplace.

For the answer of the

question…… I’m sorry.

I’m too, like that

Niisan over there, specialized in anti individual.

」

「

What,

you can’t use it …… Didn’t you boast yourself stronger than Kazaream just a

while ago!?

」

「

What

a stupid thing to say! If it’s about underhanded trick like Seraphim absorption

or Awakened Demon Lord Transformation, I can’t use it, that kind of talk.

Even that such

underhanded tricks, even no matter how many I am, I can’t win.

Therefore, I have 10

spirit bombs left, if I let them explode in chains――

」

Laplace shrewdly shown

the bomb from his pocket for an instant.

‘Oh?’ so Benimaru nod.

The four people were

holding a meeting while evading the attacks that the highly nimble Footman

launched.

The power was sublime,

but they were saved because the attack speed was slow.

It was good currently,

but there was possibility that they won’t be able to deal with the speed later

on. It will be a suicidal act to prolong this.

「

Okay,

his current energy is not so big as he just have taken the remains of Kazaream.

If we want to defeat

him, now is the time!

Besides, if we spend a

lot of time his body will complete adjust to Vega’s power.

」

「

――That’s

right. His attack speed gradually increases.

Since the attack has

holy demonic attribute, it will be impossible to completely defend against if

you receive it.

」

In fact, if there’s no

one who can put barrier of both holy and demonic, either attribute would passes

through.

It will be nullified if

Foootman become able to master it like Kazaream even if there was barrier

against both attributes.

「

Mizari,

I entrust you to maintain the barrier with all your effort. Even in the worst

case, don’t let this guy replenish his power more than this!

Souei and Laplace, you

two please set the bomb. I left the competition signal to Souei.

Because I will blast

everything at the same time as the signal, you two must not fail to get out in

time!

」

The four people have

begun to move at once under Benimaru’s command.

It was an impromptu

plan, but they shows a wonderful cooperation, with Laplace and Souei’s strings,

Footman is fastened.

As 10 spirit bombs

floats in Footman’s surroundings, Souei gave a signal.

「

Right

now!

」

At the same time,

Benimaru multiplied the barrier meticulously that he deploys.

He thoroughly probe the

surroundings and made sure that there was no other Footman’s fragments.

On top of that, he

enclosed it so that there was no room for Footman to create a clone.

「

Take

this, Hell Prominence!!!

」

Flames of hell sweep

over inside the barrier.

At the same time, the

spirit bombs explode and caused a chain explosion inside the barrier.

It was originally an

attack of holy demonic attribute that could be defended against.

Yes, originally……

「

It’s,

it’s lie right!? That Footman, he eat the explosion energy!!!

」

The energy of the union

of holy and demonic attribute was too compatible with Footman who obtained

Kazaream’s attribute.

Even while his body is

burnt, as his body were regenerated by his super recovery ability, his lost

energy was replenished. Footman didn’t keep his original form anymore and his

size was enlarged into three meters, becoming an incarnation of violence.

「

Why

do you use something like explosions of holy demonic attribute!

」

「

How

cruel! Aren’t ye the one who agreed to it!

」

Although Benimaru and

Laplace was quarreling and screaming, that was an act to lighten the atmosphere

even a bit.

It might be said that

the situation was the worst.

As the current attack

was not working, the only way left is to wait until Benimaru’s energy to be

restored; it was such a pessimistic plan.

It was unknown whether

it would succeed, it was also clear that Footman would became able to master

Vega’s power if they’re buying time for it.

The current Footman rage

recklessly as he lost his ego.

He will kill all the

living people in this place completely.

The only point that can

be said as saving grace was his egoless attack which was means of survival for

Benimaru and co.

「

It

can’t be helped…… it will be a war of attrition, I guess we only have to do it.

」

(Benimaru)

「

That’s

right, there’s no other way.

」

(Souei)

「

I

shall accompany you.

」

(Mizari)

「

No

helping it. Prioritize yerself to survives above all else.

」

(Laplace)

The four people were

prepared for it.

But, the overwhelming

determination and touching emotion of the four people was destroyed in the next

moment.

「

Kufufufufu.

So, this is what said that ‘you are never careful enough in the final stage’,

Benimaru-dono.

」

(Highlight stealing Demon)

No one knew when he

arrived, an evil demon suddenly appeared behind Footman and gripped his head.

And just like that, he

flung it against the ground.

The demon turn around

and shrugged his shoulder like he was showing his disappointment.

「

Against

such small fry of this level, what are you guys playing around?

」

(Rimuru’s

Demon Butler)

With a sarcastic smile,

he said those words.
