For You This World I'll Destroy

The Oedellia Shadow (End)

Ah, I'm looking forward to this moment. As my claws were tearing apart one by one my enemies for a while I could forget the void that was raining down on my heart. Adrenaline took me fully, to the present, enjoying my fight with a desperate daemon girl.

“Only up to here your strength, Puella Dragonica?” I caught Quina's spear.

Suddenly I received a crushing blow at the waist, banging me to hit the wall of the building. No pain made me stand up and fix my broken collarbone. I saw my hands bathed in blood, far from what I had dreamed.

If this is true, said Mutter, I have become a monster that makes this world a reality.

Oh, if I had not been born in this world, would the city of hilfheim not have met its end as it is today?

If I hadn't created Mutterbeweisen, would Quina have been able to break free from her curse to become Puella Dragonica?

If I hadn't asked and found out what love meant, would I have been able to protect the world from my madness?

“C’les Raphael!”

Three white dragon heads shot at me. Unable to dodge, the Dragon tore the body apart and burned it with holy fire. But just like all the wounds on my body, the black root would re-establish it as it was. I, who no longer felt any pain, accepted the attack while laughing.

My eyes also hunted down Quina who nimbly circled me. I wanted to reach her with the roots of darkness, but the girl nimbly dodged and at the same time launched a holy fire that burned my body.

“You should have noticed this Danius!” shouted the cat that had turned into a giant jaguar, clawing both my hands until it was cut off.

“Should? I thought you were still bothered by my sweet dolls,” I said, wanting to reach Danius, but it struck me that my hands were no longer united to my body.

That holy fire dispelled my healing abilities. After I noticed again, all the wounds on my body had the same fate. What magic is this?

When Danius inign launched his second attack, I jumped up and grew a sharp bone in my calf, slashing his right eye blind. However, Quina immediately greeted my jump with a stab in my heart.

“Incinerate max—” shouted Quina.

“Judas anguish!” my screams shot my heart out of my old body. From that heart grew flesh after flesh, skin after skin became me completely.

Quina and Danius were surprised to see my ability. They must think I'm an immortal monster that can't be killed. But the truth is, I can only use that ability once a day. I never thought those two Daemons could corner me like this, I underestimated them too much.

But I still have one gun. I got up and knit a white magic dress to cover my body.

“You two are sure you want to spend time against me an immortal like me?” I said bragging, then smiled cynically and continued, “You think with so many corpses they throw away, I did not prepare some undead reserves in the forest?”

Quina was surprised to hear that, doubt was clearly evident from the look on her gaze as well as Danius. The gap I'm going to use. Unbeknownst to them, my body that I left was burned to ashes and sparks that floated in the air, penetrated their bodies and injected my blood into their minds.

“D-Daemon-daemon who escaped, you will also injure them??” quina.

I smiled, “Maybe already. You see, I also do not have full control of my undead army,” I said.

Dark magic is the weakest and least efficient branch of magic. It takes a large Mana to use it, that too for small scale magic.  He has no capacity to destroy and no benefit to society at all. But when used appropriately, dark magic is the most acute art of killing.

Like a parasite, dark magic will eat away at the weakness of one's mind, increasing doubt, sadness, anger and other feelings to the point of despair. And if someone has been caught in despair, without me getting my hands dirty, they will kill themselves.

I shook my hand and said,

“Aventus Crimson.”

Hypnotized by my dark magic, Quina and Danius looked as if there was a sword of fire coiling on my back. But all of this is just an illusion.

As long as my enemy is a being with a mind, I will be invincible. Even if the magic fails, I will control my blood and crush the hearts of both of them. In other words, this fight I've won.

“When you go now, maybe, you two can save some of that Daemon,” I said which then blasted one of the illusory fire swords at Quina, “That if you can escape from me, hahahaha!”

“B-How is this.. S-As Puella Dragonica. Sooner or later, he will bring destruction to my people,” Quina said.

“Sweet as hell, at a time like this you are still thinking of another daemon,” I said that had appeared behind him and imitated the magic he used on me, “C’les Raphael,” I said hit three dragon heads about the girl, but heroically Danius protected Quina.

“Mr Princess, now is not the time to hesitate. K-We need to get back and save all the Daemons. That's our main goal, right?!” shout Danius.

Quina was shocked, “T-But—“

“Are you sure you can beat him right now?!” yell Danius again finish off the three dragon heads, “Next, when you are stronger, we can defeat this monster.”

Right, it's a quick go.

“No, if I fail here, I have no right to be the ruler of the Union of Erites,” said Quina who rose to her feet.

Oh, my God, that's so stubborn. Should I scare her more? I also showed my true form to the two daemons. My bones were sticking out like fierce fangs, my muscles grew making my body many times larger, my three mouths were wide open along with my three pairs of eyes as I roared towards the moon.

Like a cursed dragon, I appeared before them ready to make them a night snack.

“Stupid basis. In the face of absolute power, you still dare to fight,” I said with a heavy voice and echoed, “Baren you are your stupidity, many live daemons will float!” I then headed towards Quina.

But suddenly, my foot stumbled over a rock. My head was splashed in the puddle and in an instant all my concentration was broken. My illusory brush also exploded like a smog that burst through the city. Slowly the waves of fire that devoured the entire city were gone, the damaged buildings were back to normal. The wound in Danius' eyes was healed at a time, along with all the troops he had brought. All that remains are the foremen and Profs. Oe who fell asleep delirious.

“S-S-All just illusion?” quina muttered in confusion.

S-Damn, all my acting is in vain. In order to stage this great drama I have used hundreds of expensive magicites. All failed because of the stubborn Quina. Bummer.

I immediately got up and hissed, “Sst! We have to quickly escape,” I said that jumped and rode Danius, “Come, what are you waiting for, Quina!”

—+—

The cave on the shore of the lake where I met Quina once, is now full of Daemon slaves. Quina seemed to be in disbelief at the sight and leaned on one of them.

“The undead suddenly politely guide our way here, after that, puff, ilang gitu dame, kind of antu,” said a Daemon rat with full drama.

“H-He? Wait a minute, how come I'm getting dizzy?” quina muttered holding her painful head.

Danius sighed and returned to his cute dwarf form, “You pranked us right, Moon Daemon. Danius thinks you don't want to help us, but.. was wrong yes.”.

I smiled plainly, “Eh? Who is nolong ya. This is the strategy of negotiation,” I said who then stood in front of the slaves, “By putting the city of hilfheim to sleep and emny smuggling all the slaves there, I got the most important negotiation picis. All your people and the beginning of your revolution.”

Quina bends her head in wonder, “Negotiation moreover? W-Wait a minute, don't tell me all that mess, all that darama, all just for the sake of it?” said the princess blushed in embarrassment.

I nodded in the midst of the commotion. With a confident smile I reached out to Quina and said,

“Quina, if you become my best friend, then all these slaves will be yours.”

Instead of thanking her for sobbing, emotional veins appeared on Quina's forehead. He clenched his hand and approached me in annoyance. Screaming at me as the girl raised her fists to close her eyes, but it turned out that all I got was a slow knock.

“You're stupid huh?” ask Quina shyly.

“U-Uh, three times try sure success?” muttered confused.

Quina let out a long sigh and smiled sweetly. My eyes twinkled, filled with hope for Quina's acceptance. Finally after a long time, I was able to get the thing that could fill the emptiness of my heart.

But Quina stuck out her tongue and said, “No!”
