The one to move first, was Sorami.
「Haaaa!!」
She was a Pantherian whose racial characteristic was speed, and moreover, she was a Fistfighter whose fighting distance was close. It was only natural that she would take the first move.
Since he was aware of this, Diablo didn’t panic.
He had already installed a 《Super Mine》 at his feet.
It was magic that would explode when stepped on.
Maybe sensing his faint movements, maybe since she could also see the flow of magical power, or maybe because she failed to read it, she evaded only that spot.
「As expected of you! But!」
However, Diablo was a Gamer that boasted the fact that he was undefeated in battles against people. He had a second and third hand ready to be played.
As he fell back, Sorami chased after him.
──Before, the 《Lightning Bullet》 was warded off, but how about this!?
「Eat this! 《Glakius Cannon》!!」
It was the magic that made an ice cannon that pierced through several of the royal castle’s walls. It turned into seven rapid-fire shots and flew.
Being this close, she couldn’t possibly evade it.
However, amazingly, Sorami defended against it with one arm.
There should have been enough force to squash her along with the arm that received them, but she endured it with Gaikikou.
「Ugh, uuuuugh!」
「You took seven rapid-fire shots!?」
He shouldn’t have been holding back though.
Was the use of the Ice Attribute a miss on his part, or was Diablo’s firepower lacking even after doing a multiplex spell? It wasn’t able to pierce through Sorami’s shield.
In exchange for purposely receiving that attack, the distance between the two was one where their hands could reach each other.
「Diablo-kun! You don’t have enough intent to kill!」
──You, didn’t you accept a commission to buy time!?
「I haven’t cast away my thoughts as much as you have, see!」
It seemed that when Sorami goes into battle, she is the type where various things fly away from her head.
She immersed herself in battle.
He was also the same when he was playing the game.
Operating like a machine, he would slaughter enemies like a machine.
What about now?
He couldn’t become that cool-headed.
In a corner of his mind, he would always be thinking about the opponent.
Sorami swung her fist.
He moved to evade it.
However, as if that fist was being sucked towards him, it chased after him.
「《Sure-hit》!?」
「You’re too slow!」
He switched to defense in the middle, but he wouldn’t make it in time.
Close combat was like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Playing out rock after seeing that the opponent had put out scissors was impossible.
It was different if there was a great difference in level though.
Rather, Sorami was the one that was faster.
Diablo received a blow to the face, and he was blown away.
「Gah……!?」
She chased after him in an instant.
──She’s using 《Instant Thrust》 here!? So, since it can’t be used successively, she uses it for the sake of pursuit!
She made a kick at him while his posture was broken.
A *gokih* sound was made.
An acute pain ran through him.
Did a rib break!?
He crashed into the tent’s pillar, and knocked it down. The remaining force behind it sent him outside, into the forest.
After breaking three standing trees, he finally stopped.
「You have to be kidding me……」
What an outrageous woman. Wouldn’t she be able to have a fist fight against the Great Demon King Modinalaam?
*Zowah* A chill ran through the back of his neck.
There was an unpleasant presence coming from the collapsed tent.
He instantly fired magic.
「《Tidal Wall》!!」
A magic formation spread out, and a column of water was raised.
Immediately afterwards──
「《Kikouha (Radiance Light Wave)》 !!」
Piercing through the tent that had lost its original shape, a gigantic ball of light came flying. It was most likely a Martial Art. One that made 《Shining Blow》 bigger.
It collided into the wall of water, and they clashed with each other.
He was somehow able to defend against it but……
Diablo unknowingly was expressing a smile on his face.
「Kukuku……You’re pretty good.」
Drinking an HP Recovery Potion, he stood up.
He confronted Sorami.
「Eh, you’re unhurt!? Ah, that’s not it……So, there’s a potion that can heal that much damage in an instant huh.」
「Victory and defeat is decided by the difference in preparation!」
「In that case……I only have to attack until you run out of potions!」
「I am in a hurry, you see──That is enough, playing around! 《Cross Blizzard》!!」
No matter how fast her movements are, she couldn’t possibly evade an area of effect attack.
Countless tornadoes sprung forth.
Everything that they touched became frozen, and on top of that, they would break to pieces by the windstorm.
The soldiers were surprised by the tent being blown away and had run away. There was no need to worry about them getting dragged into it.
Come to think of it, was Martis still underneath the tent?
──Well, if he’s a Feudal Lord and lieutenant general, then he’s the same rank as Galford. He probably won’t die.
Moreover, he was an opponent that was trying to kill him. There was no reason to pay perfect attention to him.
They were extremely cold tornadoes that froze plants, and broke them apart.
Within that, there was a person standing there.
Covering her whole body with Gaikikou, she endured it.
「Kuuuu……」
「Damned monster.」
──Was that the Martial Art 《Iron Wall》?
「You’ve surprised me, Diablo-kun. This is my first time seeing such fierce Chemical Elemental Magic.」
「Hmph……The same goes for me who is seeing someone talk so calmly within a high level magic. ──I shall apologize.」
「For what?」
「I, have committed an error. I had treated you as a person.」
「I don’t think that you were wrong though?」
「No……For you, I should have been fighting while thinking of you as a Demon King-class monster.」
「Ara ara, to be calling me a monster.」
「That composure of yours, I shall blow it away immediately as well.」
──So firepower greater that 《Cross Blizzard》 is needed huh.
However, he couldn’t use 《White Nova》 and 《Gravity Abyss》. The outcome would be that as he was chanting it, he would be knocked off his feet before they could occur.
The air trembled.
Even though the effects of 《Cross Blizzard》 were still going on!
Sorami appeared right before his eyes.
「Thinking about this and that in the middle of battle is a bad habit of Magicians, you know, Diablo-kun?」
「You……!?」
Was her purposely showing an enduring figure meant for the sake of creating an opening on him!?
In the next instant, Sorami’s hand blade stabbed the left side of Diablo’s chest. It was a thrust that made it sharp like a spear with Gaikikou.
While saying something like “attack until you run out of potions” earlier, and knowing that he had a means to recover, she aimed with a certain kill attack.
Fresh blood flew about.
──Truly, amazing. That seriously became a good reference, Assistant Instructor.
Diablo defended the left side of his chest with the Magic Sword 《Tonnerre Empereur・Libéré》.
The white silver Magic Sword, was smashed up.
At the same time, magic was fired.
Chantlessly──It was the fastest spell, 《Lightning Bullet》!!
The flashes burst on her abdomen.
「Gyau!!」
Blown away, she collapsed to the ground.
Diablo similarly collapsed.
It wasn’t an instant death.
However, the wound was too deep.
「Ugh……Kuh……Even after using the Magic Sword as a shield, and concentrating all of my willpower (SP) into defense……it turns out like this.」
His consciousness became distant.
That can’t happen!
However, his body, could no longer move.
He could hear a woman’s voice.
He was startled.
Goodness, Sorami had stood up.
「It’s not willpower (SP), but Kikou (Radiance Light), you know, Diablo-kun?」
「……!?」
「So at the same time that you turned your sword and all of your Kikou to defense to receive my attack, you attacked with magic……that was a very good counterattack. After all, even for me, when I’m using Kikou in an attack, I end up being negligent with my body’s defense.」
Her abdomen, wasn’t injured at all. She looked at the distance with a blank look.
Could she really not be a person of the Races!?
Diablo had his pain and sense of fatigue blown away, and was stirred up by fear. After raising up his arm that felt like it had turned into stone and thrusting his fingertips into his pouch, he took out a potion.
I need to hurry up and recover!
If I don’t, I’ll be killed!
In the past, he had never felt a potion tube to be this heavy. It felt as if the cork was stuck.
Finally, the cork came out, and the green liquid came falling out.
Through the highest grade HP Recovery Potion, Diablo’s wounds were instantly healed.
「Kahah!」
He jumped to his feet.
He opened his eyes wide.
Sorami was collapsed on the ground. She hadn’t stood up.
Not only that, there was a considerable amount of bleeding coming from her abdomen.
「Was that a hallucination……!?」
Thinking about it calmly, it was unnatural.
Having that much magic making a direct hit, it would be impossible to be uninjured. Having a blank look, and standing upright.
──Was it in order to make me take action?
While still having fallen face down, she moved her lips.
「As expected……of the husband, that Rem-chan chose.」
「Ah, no, that’s……」
「It’s your win. Diablo-kun……please, protect……that chil…………」
Sorami’s eyes, slowly closed.
Diablo rushed over to her.
「Don’t screw with me! I won’t allow you to push that onto me! If you want Rem to be protected, then you should protect her yourself. If it’s about the marriage, it’s been voided. On that night, we were divorced!」
While shouting, he poured a potion on her.
The wounds healed, and Sorami was dumbfounded.
「W, why? Why did you save me?」
「If you were to die, Rem would be sad.」
「I’m your enemy, you know!? Winning with such a clever scheme……Do you think that it will work a second time!?」
「Shut up! If you want to fight that much, I’ll face you again. But, when I win, I will do the same thing again.」
「Why would you, do such a……Ah! More importantly, what did you mean about a divorce!? Explain that properly to Onee-san, okay!?」
──You were the trigger for it, you know. I was the cause though.
As for what the meaning of it was, Diablo was the one who wanted to hear it.
「It seems that there was no “reason to get married” to me.」
「Eh……」
「Well, I……am a Demon King after all.」
「A reason for marriage, loving the other person is enough. Diablo-kun, Rem-chan really loves you.」
「I can’t understand it. That emotion called “love”.」
Sorami tilted her head.
「If you think that you want to protect someone even if you have to risk your life, that is the feeling called “love”.」
Diablo pressed down on his own left side of the chest.
「……」
The injury hole that he received from her thrust earlier, it had already closed.
