“……………..Wha………….!?”
Eventually, the light and aurora completely disappear and I stood calmly in the centre of without a single wound.
“Ho….how….?”
Melheys cannot understand the situation and stands there stunned and muttering to himself.
“What? I finally got used to this body after reincarnating. That’s all”
Melheys has an astonished expression and his mouth falls open.
“….Im……pos….sible……”
Weak words leaked out of his mouth.
“……..Did he not show his true worth?………maybe…..no that’s absurd…….!? Until now, while using all that magic……while showing off all that power…….he had not regained the strength he had from before his reincarnation….!?”
“It’s like you said earlier. Newly reincarnated Mazoku only have about one-tenth of their old strength and I am no exception.”
“…….One-tenth…….”
Melheys has such a hopeless expression on his face that even I feel pity for him.
In short, the power Melheys robbed doesn’t even come to 10%.
“You should have stopped playing around and just finished me before I got used to this body.”
I hold up my hand and release magic power. Particles of black light fill my palm and the next moment expand and fill the whole room.
“…….Is this a three-dimensional magic formation of Deruzogedo….? How?…….This should be isolated in a different dimension……”
“Come, Venuzdonoa.”
In response to my call, countless black particles rise up and gather at my feet. What appeared was a sword-shaped shadow. No object was there only a shadow.
“I was thinking about when you said it was a waste Melheys.”
The shadow sword rises up as if drawn to my hand.
“I’ll tell you what the real waste is.”
Is he even listening to me? He’s just staring at me like he can’t believe it.
“…..What……..the hell is that……?”
“It doesn’t follow reason nor anything number related or things related to distance whether it be magical or conventional. Anything that can be reasoned returns to nothing before this principle destroying sword. It’s useless to think about what it can or can’t do.”
As I grasp the handle the shadow reversed and a dark coloured long sword appeared there.
“Enemies in front of me are simply destroyed. That is the only principle that Venuzdonoa allows to exist.”
“……How much of a demon king of tyranny are you trying to be!! There can’t be such an irrational magic…….!!”
Melheys made a gate in front of him that’s different to the ones from before. It’s much more extravagant.
“Oh? An absolute space?”
“Indeed. This space is an absolute territory that only the caster can enter. It’s an that makes it impossible to defeat the person inside.”
The gate opens and Melheys steps inside.
“I’ll withdraw for now Arnos-sama. After calculating your new strength I will come up with a new strategy to defeat you and return. Please look forward to it.”
I set Venuzdonoa up in a low stance.
“It’s regrettable Melheys.”
I slash in front of me with my sword.
The space in front of me is split in half and falls apart revealing Melheys.
“….How……? Absolute space is a space completely isolated from the world……It’s not possible to interfere from the outside but it was broken…….”
“Reason does not exist before this sword.”
I calmly step forward and swing Venuzdonoa at Melheys who barely avoids it, however, both his feet are cut off and he falls to the ground.
“How…….how…….I definitely dodged……..”
“Did you think avoiding it meant you’d avoided it?”
“….Such…….such a reason……”
He creates a magic gate again but not just one this time but thousands.
“……….It’s a dreadful demon sword but it can’t escape from the fact its a sword. It can’t cut all these gates at once….!!”
Simple but effective. Spam a lot of decoy gates and escape in one of them, however, the next moment they were all cut and shatter.
“….This….how…….when did you cut them all…..?”
“Did you think if I didn’t cut them all they couldn’t be cut?”
“….Im……pos….sible……”
I slowly approach Melheys who seems to be in a state where he can’t understand anything.
“……Impossible…..such a thing……shouldn’t be possible….”
Standing beside Melheys I look down at him from a height.
His expression is stained with fear and despair.
“Carve this into your crafty mind. This is a true waste.”
I pierce Melheys’ head with Venuzdonoa.
