The battle between Leon and Yuuki begins.
The air twinkled with light, and the ground was blown away by the shock. Even Chloe who did not move was affected by the shock. Kagali who was hiding behind Chloe, lowered her head and opened her eyes wide. 「Time, time out! What is really going on here !? 」
It was a high-speed fight, too fast for Kagali to comprehend, he could only see his tracks. Which side has the advantage? The result is unknown.
「Shortly, the situation looks evenly. Nevertheless. . . . . ""–but?"
「I see that Leon Onii-chan still has the advantage and has led the situation as he wanted. 」I'm not very good at analyzing, Chloe spoke while thinking that, as they watched the fight. 「Haa? It's a little hazy. Which side will win? 」
Chloe was silent for a moment,
「If the conditions remain as they are now, Leon Onii-chan will win」
He stated.
「Hmm. Bodo time . Although I will declare something as well, Yuuki-sama will not be defeated. Certainly . 」
Kagali firmly made a statement. Chloe glanced at Kagali and did not refute or justify her statement. The Black Knight Claude did not say anything and put his raised hand down. Claude, who had been seriously injured by Leon's punch, was now fully healed. He was amazed that even the black armor was fully restored. Gently placing her finger on Claude's wide-eyed lips, Chloe slightly shook her head. With that she banishes Claude from her mind and Chloe restores her focus on Leon and Yuuki's fight. Black Knight Claude stood beside Chloe without saying anything. 「Hey, can you see the fight between the two?」
Kagali asked Claude who was standing up.
However, Claude only replied with a nod instead of words. Ch Cih's. You seem terrible enough to be able to follow the fight with your eyes. All right, it's okay. After all, it will be a victory for Yuuki-sama, you must ensure the victory of your new master as well. 」After saying that, Kagali sat on a comfortable rock with an uninterested expression. Of course, she sat down at the place where Chloe could still act as a barrier and protect her. Their battle level was far above what he could feel, and Kagali did not even have the slightest bit of experience necessary to comprehend the fight. Moreover, this girl fully believed in Yuuki's victory, so she had no interest in watching the battle. Claude, unlike Kagali, was still confused by his current situation. However, after being warned by Chloe, she did not dare to foolishly reveal her current state. In fact, her consciousness, thanks to Chloe, has returned to her who still promises her loyalty to Leon. Chloe's ability is not to recover. The true nature of it is to turn time. He replayed the time to make it so that the situation where Yuuki did not override never happened. Without changing the time around it, it is possible to use the ability to affect only a limited number of people. This ability is the highest power. This is not limited to removing damage, but even the abnormal status of ―― in other words, fatigue or even death of ―― will be nonexistent. However, it is unfortunate that the Red Resurrection is impossible. Since Yuuki used the ability to take his life, there was no way to interfere. Although it was an absolute power, it was not almighty. Chloe knows that. Moreover, he had just obtained an ability and could not use it completely. His desire to revive the Red Knight was hard to fulfill. No one would punish him, yet he looked at the Red Knight with a sad expression. There was nothing he could do, as he could not move without permission. Sighing, Chloe focused on the fight. Leon and Yuuki. The battle between the two has just begun. However, when Chloe's eyes focused, she saw clearly that the state of the fight had changed a lot.
Yuuki felt deep regret for his mistaken impression. He underestimated his opponent. Leon Cromwell, the newcomer Demon Lord. A former Human, Demon King who defeated Kagali \= Kazaream. Since Kagali was too weak, it could be said that she expected Leon's strength to be low. Fortunately, thanks to the fact that the Main Skill had awakened within him, he was able to continue the battle. He was confident that if he did not acquire the skill he would have already been defeated. (Or rather, I don't think that he's this strong)
He kept thinking as he counteracted the blow from the light released towards him. He could feel his energy dwindling in large numbers when counteracting the attacks. If this situation continued, his defeat was only a matter of time. Yuuki's ability specializes in stealing things. Its main use was to take out enemy energy. With this ability, he could recover his strength as he attacked, so normally this ability could be called omnipotent in both attack and defense. That's what happens when the opponent is not Leon. Leon's ability attribute is Light \= Purification. This attribute specialized in purifying demons, in other words, this was an ability suitable for Heroes. Since this person was the Demon King, Yuuki couldn't help but feel that the ironic situation was a great big joke. Although there is no point in complaining, Yuuki's acquired abilities are part of the demon series [1], which means he has a demonic attribute [2]. Every time he attacked, he received purification, which meant he received damage. Most of the energy he stole had been purified. Moreover, he could not dodge the opponent's attack and he could not help but notice the large amount of damage he received with each encounter. (It's not good, is it? I will lose if this situation continues.) He thought about his next plan optimistically. In a worst-case scenario, he could involve Chloe. But he wants to avoid that. It would be difficult to lead the world to destruction if he did that. Simple reason. It was impossible for him to defeat the strongest entities in this world known as Guy Crimson and Milim Nava. And Rimuru too. Yuuki's intuition told him that the Slime he met was a disorder. His growth speed was abnormal, and his gaze was impenetrable. The gaze felt uncomfortable, so he judged it was impossible to ignore Rimuru. (—I never thought that Rimuru-san could see my true nature .. However, I felt that it would be dangerous if I did not get rid of that person quickly.) For such a thing, it is better to use Chloe . Two strong men and one dangerous man. Yuuki judged Milim to be someone who could easily be lied to. Because that's the real problem is Guy and Rimuru. Yuuki feels uncomfortable leaving Guy as Chloe's only opponent. That's why he'll get rid of Rimuru. After that, she will make Chloe fight with Guy, it is a plan to get rid of both of them at the same time. It seems that it will be difficult to defeat Rimuru later if she uses Chloe now. Sensing such a premonition, Yuuki did not give any orders to Chloe. Then, what should he do now? The best she can do in the contract she made with Chloe is so she doesn't interfere with Yuuki's decision. But that's not a problem for small orders. Chloe may be a kind person, so if she asks for it, she might listen. But withdrawing from here still remained impossible even if he were to protect Yuuki and the others. (If it was Rimuru and Ruminas who came, it would go as planned ..) Yuuki sighed and decided to throw away his doubts and use his trump card. He regretted that he had misunderstood Leon's strength, and after escaping he needed to reflect on this. He had to make a decision immediately, because his overwhelming defeat was no joke. 「Haha, Leon. Forgive me . I underestimated you too much. Therefore, I decided to use my trump card! 」
「Fu, do as you like. It would be useless. 」「 After installing such bluff, please don't say anything cowardly okay? 」Yuuki activated the combined abilities of『 Caller 』and his Ultimate Skills『 Pleasant King Mammon 』, and an enormous magic circle began to appear on the ground . Inside that circle were many corpses consisting of Yuuki's subordinates and the Red Knight. Their bodies began to expand and become lumps of flesh. Then the wriggling, evil thing that crawled out of Yuuki's magic circle mixed with the lump of flesh.
In the past, the originator of the dragon race, "Star King Dragon Veldanava," had given his daughter a dragon as a guard (pet) [3]. Dragons that had great power had fallen into a trap and were killed by a certain kingdom. When the girl, her master, evolved, her body was transformed into a chaos dragon, full of evil forces. Unfortunately, he has no soul, making him transcend the boundaries of good and evil into an incarnation of destruction. It is said that the girl, grieving over a miserable twist of fate, sealed the dragon where no one had found it. However, after many years and months had passed, poison [4] was released from his body, exercising its surrounding properties. Naturally, the Freedom Association received a request to investigate the cause of the evil poison. 「Wake up, Chaos Dragon! Your real master is me! 」
Using the awakened dragon, he would get rid of the chasing Demon King. In his initial plan, he would escape while the dragon went berserk.
But it's different now. Currently, using the Highest Skill of 『King Greedy Mammon』, the master of Chaos Dragon is Yuuki. The Chaos Dragon that had just woken up, released an incredible pressure, and absorbed the magic power around it to build up its own strength. As a direct descendant of the dragon race, its total length exceeded 20m. Right now, the strongest dragon was moving according to Yuuki's will. The miasmic roar and breath that spouted it damaged the rocky surface and arbor, from the hillside to the summit, collapsed. This is the ability of Chaos Dragon, Chaotic Breath. Yuuki smiled proudly and Kagali turned pale. Although it was invisible in Claude's expression, it seemed like he believed in his master Leon. Chloe clenched her fists. If by chance Leon was defeated, he decided to destroy the Dragon of Chaos with his own hands. "Ha ha ha! What do you think? It's something you can't handle easily. Right now, if you swear allegiance to me, I'll gladly make you my friend, how does that sound? 」Leon laughed mockingly at Yuuki's proposal. He had predicted this development. Moreover, he did not obstruct the summoning. That's because .. 「As expected, it's Chaos Dragon――. You fool, to revive a revenant from ancient times, do you want to bring the wrath of Dragon Princess Milim? It will be transmitted to Milim as soon as I disconnect the soul connection. That's the end for you, Kagurazaka Yuuki. 」「. . . . . . I saw . You realize it and don't let me do anything I want. Even so, weren't you dead before Milim came? 」「 Fufu, do you want to try and see? 」
Removing his expression, Yuuki gave orders to Chaos Dragon. Kill the enemy before you! The Dragon of Chaos was definitely powerful. His strength was second only to "Dragon Type" and seemed to rule as the strongest monster that appeared in nature. However, this mindless monster had no wisdom. It was an incarnation of violence that had just gone berserk and attacked for no reason. If the previous Demon Lords had not awakened, it might have surpassed them in brute strength and overwhelming energy. However ... Leon is a genius, let alone his attribute is Light \= Purification. Its existence was such that it could be called the Chaos Dragon's natural enemy. 「I'll say it one more time. You underestimated me. The reason I deliberately gave you time for the Summoning is to show the difference between our strengths and that what you are doing today, in this place, is not paying off. I will show you a piece of my power! 」Leon was wrapped in a golden light as he spoke. Golden Wings, built with pure light energy, appeared on his back. Its wings resembled the wings of the angel race, but in reality its wings were really streams of light itself. And, he held the Flame Pillar (Holy Flame Rapier) [5], which had manifested in his right hand.
It was a Mythical (God) class [6] rapier, the strongest sword Leon possessed. The beautiful bluish-white flame pattern stood out over its flexible and thin blade. Leon held the Golden Circle (Golden Round Shield) [7] in his left hand and the rapier in his right. It was a legend-grade shield and armor, but it had high defensive abilities as it was mixed with Holy Aura Leon. In reality, the shield could suppress the damage from the demon attribute attack by reducing it by half with refining. Fully armed, Leon glanced at Yuuki who had lost his smile and then turned his gaze to Chaos Dragon as if he had lost interest in Yuuki. And then, looks like I'll incur Milim's enmity if I kill you. Since that's the case, I'll just put you to sleep again! Oh, Holy Spirit, tremble! Triangle Pyramid (Sacred Tetrahedron Demon Sealing Barrier) [8] !! 」
The small tetrahedron with four pillars made of crystallized spirits grew large and according to Leon's will, it was wrapped around the Chaos Dragon. This was a major holy attribute barrier that surpassed even the Sacred Field. The barrier that Leon built was given [effect : eternity], where the captured person was locked up. It was a high grade sealing technique that rivaled 『Infinite Prison』. No, the effect could even surpass 『Infinite Jail』 if the target had demonic attributes.
With this barrier in place, Leon might be able to win against Guy just once. Of course, if it was Guy, he would instantly feel the danger of the barrier, and not be trapped by it. Therefore, not to be confused, but the success rate against Guy is only about 1 in 1000 attempts. However, if the target was a mindless monster, it could not defend against this technique. The poor Chaos Dragon struggles to break the seal, but the resistance is futile. Furthermore, when the barrier effect was activated, it sucked the magic power from the Chaos Dragon and used it to strengthen the barrier power. When it came to this, his movements were already sealed. It was unlike the life cycle barrier that Milim had built up, no matter how much energy the Chaos Dragon possessed, like that, it could disappear before 100 years had passed. In that case, Leon thought that Milim would probably hate him for this, but if he were to remove the seal and hand it over to Milim then it would be fine. It would be troublesome to incur Milim's anger, but it wasn't something he had to think about right now. He modified the barrier setting, so that it would soon be buried underground. In the end, Dragon Chaos was sealed again instantly by Leon.
Leon looked at Yuuki and spoke mercilessly. Leon had fully resolved the situation in his favor and Yuuki's chances of victory could be considered non-existent. But, uh,
「Ahahahaha! I never thought that the Demon Lord was amazing, to this degree! Honestly, I underestimated it. Even so, I have already taken the source of the dragon's power, I don't need it anymore. I've recovered the damage I received from you. Then, should I be serious now? 」
Just as Yuuki had said, both of his hands were covered with dragon scales, his body was covered by the same poison that had covered the Dragon Chaos not too long ago. It was almost like it had turned into black armor that resembled dragon scales. Leon recalled the buried barrier to himself,
"You !"
He yelled at Yuuki. The Chaos Dragon became bone, weathered and then shattered. It was the result of the dragon losing its power. As Yuuki had said, he had snatched away the point. With this, Milim's anger is! As Leon thought about it—
「Do you think now is the right time to worry about it?」
Yuuki jumped behind Leon with a speed that was unmatched before. And give a powerful kick to Leon's back. Yuuki, who had taken the power of a dragon, had become a Dragon Warrior. He tried harder in the fight,
「Don't be arrogant, you're an insect!」
The golden light was emitted intensely and completely dyed the area in pure white. Inside the bursts of light that blinded the eyes of the people was Leon who stood glaring at Yuuki furiously, his body wrapped in white golden armor. 36 pairs of 72 wings appeared once again on his back. They vanished when he used the barrier earlier, but it materialized again when Leon's true infinite holy aura was unleashed. Light Angel Leon vs Dragon Warrior Yuuki
The fight was resolved in an instant. Leon, who was burning with anger, gives an intense attack to Yuuki without giving him a chance to counterattack. With an elegantly flowing thrusting speed that was close to the speed of light, the Fire Pillar of Leon made Yuuki's entire body instantly bleed. The ominous black armor which was the crystallization of the power of the Chaos Dragon shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the sword endowed with the power of purification. As for the difference in strength, the gap was huge, just like that between adults and children. (Damn, impossible ... until this far ..) Yuuki, feeling his own ego weakening, seemed to disappear. If this situation continues, it will not be good. If things continue like this, his defeat is certain. Above everything . . . . . . .
ThenWell, will this be my turn soon?
(No, I haven't been defeated!) Yuuki gathered his lost consciousness, though,
「Didn't I say it wouldn't be useful? You are not even able to follow my movements 」Yuuki lost sight of Leon, who was standing in front of him, and his left arm was cut off by the Fire Pillar of Leon and thrown away. Acute pain attacked Yuuki, and control over his strength was already unstable. He fell to the ground and squatted. His severed arm stopped bleeding, and he glared at Leon hovering above him, looking at him.
The result is determined. Yuuki seems to have a misunderstanding about Leon's extraordinary powers. The difference between the power he took from the ancient dragon, the power of the Chaos Dragon, and the strength of Leon was not good. As Leon had said, even if he were to awaken the Main Skill, the difference in his abilities was like heaven and earth. 「This is finally」
Just as Leon declares an ultimatum, a multilayered 3D magic circle is formed with Leon in the middle and takes Yuuki. The magic circle continued to radiate and twinkle in bright colors, and then finished in an instant. 「Binasalah,“ Sacred Damage (Light of Purification of the Holy Spirit Destruction 36th Style) [9] ”!」
A twinkling light radiated from its 36 pairs of wings. When the lights collide with the layered barrier, they are reflected irregularly and fill the inside of the barrier with light. It was a wild dance of photons breaking down the things it touched. It was Leon's greatest and strongest area annihilation ability. The percentage of annihilation within the limited space covered by the barrier was 100%, it was an inevitable technique. Yuuki who was still crouching on the ground with his left arm cut off, made his body pierced by the lamp mercilessly. When the inside of the barrier is filled with light, photons are generated, and the ability deduces. This ability produced energy several thousand times greater than the "Disintegration" Hinatahad used, and all the objects inside the barrier were destroyed. And then, the inside of the barrier was filled with light. A flash. When the magic circle disappeared, the lights calmed down. There was only one person standing on the ground. However, that person seemed unhappy,
「So, she escaped, ya」
He muttered. So standing on the ground alone is Leon. Yuuki who had confirmed Leon's incredible strength and realized his own defeat, had decided to retreat when his left arm was cut off. At that moment, he had fully used his maximum strength and gained a bit of time with Thought Guidance. The perfect opportunity to escape arises when Leon concentrates on building a barrier. However, one had to praise Yuuki. His stubbornness deserved to be rewarded, he did not give up until the end of the fight. But that doesn't change the fact that he ran away. Leon, had promised to cooperate with the two demon lords, and when he thought of the possibility that Milim would turn his anger towards him, he felt depressed.
「Jeez, I have to be more serious. 」
It seems that the goal of gaining Chloe's freedom will be delayed a little longer, as Yuuki has escaped. This strategy failed completely. It could be said that when Yuuki managed to retreat, he strategically won the war. Leon had won the battle but lost the war. As Leon thought about the future, there was absolutely no sense of victory, and he sighed.
