At that mont, I imdiately turned the skill I was trying to chant into nothing and shouted.
“Stop attacking! Everyone back away!”
“It’s no use!”
Puk!
Anaxia’s chains pierced themselves. It was self-harm. However, what followed was a twist of cause and effect.
“Ghuk?!”
“Hok!”
“Cough, cluck!”
The five people who were relatively close to Anaxia, Thesilid, Ash, Ephael, Frintz, and Raywin, vomited blood.
Due to the skill Anaxia had just cast, her wounds were reflected to my friends. The battle lines of our allies collapsed due to serious injuries.
If we don’t resolve it quickly, we won’t last.
“I won’t give you any ti to heal!”
Anaxia pounced on the stumbling Thesilid to take his breath away.
At that mont.
Kwuaaaang!
I pulled out my sword and trusted it with all my might, knocking Anaxia off her feet. Our gazes t as we flew through the air together.
Anaxia was smiling with a maniacal face.
“Ahahaha! You made the most foolish choice! You should have ditched the silver hair and started pouring heals for the other guys! Even at this mont, the blood of your allies is spreading all over the floor of my throne room!”
My evaluation of her stinging and unrequired lecture was short.
“Yeah, no.”
“……What?”
Kwanggg!
Anaxia’s back slamd the huge pillar supporting the ceiling.
At that mont, I fell far away from the impact and imdiately grabbed Serpens while kicking the ground with both legs.
“Do you think I’ll let you!?”
Anaxia summoned dozens of chains from her mirrors to bind , just as she had previously bound Thesilid. But not a single chain obeyed her command.
“What?!”
This brief mont decided Anaxia’s fate.
Pababababa!
My sword slashed diagonally and an explosion occurred as Demon Energy and Aura clashed.
Bang! Kwang! Kang! Bwang!
So of the powerful destructive power was converted into montum and Anaxia’s back broke through three pillars in a row before plunging into a wall.
This ti I didn’t back down and pressed her to the end.
“I told you, Anaxia, I’m going to break your back.”
“You! Kuk……!”
This ti, being slamd into the wall must have been dangerous, and all of Anaxia’s remaining demonic energy surrounded her body as if cushioning the impact.
Another roar tore the air.
Quagwang! Bang! Bang bang!
Anaxia’s body ping-ponged between the pillars and the wall as if made of rubber. And so did I, who was tangled up in a bundle with her.
The magic energy surrounding Anaxia gradually thinned as she cried out in a cracking voice filled with pain.
“Vanquisher!”
I can’t stand being called that na.
“Vanquish of Evil.”
“……!”
I unleashed my ultimate skill, along with the secondary skills I’d been diligently building up during our repeated collisions.
That’s enough for a good finish.
“Aaaahhh!”
Kwaaaaang!
Anaxia’s body slamd deeply into the ceiling with the most spectacular of screams, an agonized wail that reflected her existence being torn away echoed through the air. And then.
Kugoogung!
She plumted back to the ground. A cloud of dust rose high throughout the throne room.
When the cloudiness in my vision subsided, I stood up in the middle of a massive crater.
I looked down and saw Anaxia, mangled and unable to even wriggle free from the floor.
This was because the advanced binding skill, ‘Crown of Thorns,’ I had cast was binding her limbs.
“Ho-how……”
This was a question that she could not help but be engulfed in, even while dying.
Anaxia managed to raise her shaky head to take a look around.
She couldn’t help but be shocked as she saw my allies unhard and her mirror and chains shattered and broken.
“How……this happened? Why are my chains……not obeying …?”
“Because my allies were holding them back.”
“I, I, inflicted fatal wounds. You, they,…there wouldn’t have been ti to heal… … ?”
“Oh, that.”
I said, delighted that it was finally ti for introductions.
“Actually, there were two healers.”
“What do you an……?!”
“Ellet, was it not you who healed us?”
The ones who questioned it were Ash and Ephael. For so reason, our team seed more surprised than Anaxia.
I glanced in the direction where the throne was.
“You can co out now, Hilde.”
Hilde, who had been hiding behind the curtain until now while following my orders, carefully walked out.
“Oh, hello.”
Hilde greeted the three people, excluding Frintz and Raywin, whom she had known earlier, and Hestio, whom she had t during battle.
Ash, Ephael, and Thesilid greeted each other a little dazedly.
At that mont, my necklace rang.
I completely agreed with what Agnes said and spoke kindly to Hilde.
“As expected, you must seek asylum.”
“……What?”
“Ah, well done, Hilde.”
I was smiling happily, but I felt a stinging gaze on my cheek.
When I turned around, I saw Odellit glaring at with a crumpled face. But when we made eye contact, she averted her gaze.
Agnes’ voice was so low that it seed as if it would dig into the ground.
[‘The Eyes that Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ keeps a close eye on Odellit Marcellion.]
[‘The Eyes that Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ is eagerly waiting for you to do sothing quickly.]
[‘The Spoiler Inspector’ calms the madness of the ‘The Eyes that Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’.]
Then, at so point.
“Eli!”
Thesilid grabbed by the arm in a hurry and pulled back. Anaxia’s condition at my feet was unusual.
Paaaat!
The demon’s body, wrapped in a strange light, changed shape. The newly molded body belonged to a girl who must have been seven years old.
“W-what is it?”
I stared down at Anaxia, expressionless, while my companions looked on in bewildernt.
I thought she was trying to shrink herself down so she could escape the bindings of the thorns, but then.
“M-M-…are you going to kill?”
“……”
“Y-You w-won’t, right? You are a knight. You can’t do that to a child, right? Hm?”
“……”
She did sothing more cunning and sneaky than expected.
My colleagues behind burst into laughter. Hestio and Raywin spoke while chewing their lips in anger.
“Ha, crazy demon. Do you think sothing like that would work?”
“A ridiculous ploy. We know for sure that she’s a demon.”
But Anaxia only looked at , paying no heed to the sneers of my colleagues.
“Please……”
The crown of thorns tightened again to fit Anaxia’s new body fra and the devil made a painful expression of anguished sobbing.
With the face of a child.
“Aya! It hurts……It hurts so much……hic, hic… ! Don’t do this to ……”
“……”
“Hic, hic, don’t look at like that. I’m scared. Hic, Hick. I’m so scared, sister……hm?”
I quietly watched her heart-wrenching performance.
“Are you wavering? You can’t kill , can you? Dumb bitch.”
“……!”
Anaxia’s expression changed in an instant, causing so of my colleagues to hold their breath to stifle their angry outbursts.
A mockingly abominable performance of Anaxia ensued.
“Sniff, sniff, stupid humans. Sniff, sniff, I’ve turned into a little child and you don’t even know what to do with yourself. Hehehehe. Vanquisher of Evil, you are a truly pathetic Commander. What kind of chivalry is it that you can’t even make a decision in a situation like this…”
Right then.
Agnes’ soft call entered my ear and at the sa ti, there was soone who cut off the cunning devil’s prattle.
Puk!
A huge blade pierced Anaxia straight through.
“Ku-cof!”
A gasping sound ca out of the mouth of a demon wearing the skin of a child.
[‘The Eyes that Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ blink at the last-hit steal.]
[‘The World-building God’ tries to swear but then quits and laughs.]
[‘The Critic who adjusts the balance’ folds his arms and clicks his tongue.]
[‘The Scales that Judges the Soul’ smiles coldly.]
The devastated looks of my colleagues gathered together, and at the end of their gazes was the master of the greatsword that had cut off Anaxia’s breath.
“Princess Marcelion!”
“S-Sister Odellit! You can’t!”
Frintz and Hilde’s panicked voices echoed through the throne room, but the one who had done the deed had no such qualms. She was actually quite proud.
“Saint.”
A stern call, almost like a rebuke.
Odellit’s gaze flew and locked on . She lifted her chin and seed to look down at .
“There is nothing wrong with what the boss said. Are you hesitating because you are deceived by the re facade of a child? You are disqualified as a Commander.”
“……”
Odellit seed intent on bullshitting , all the way to the end.
Yes, to the end.
An end very befitting of her.
✠
In her silence, Odelitt suppressed a smile that threatened to spill over her face.
As expected, The High Saint seed to have nothing to say to her sharp criticism.
Seeing the Saint lowering her gaze with pursed lips, Odelitt thought she was quite pathetic
To think she could not finish the fight just because a demon had changed into the form of a child.
In any case, people on the religious side were extrely hypocritical.
What would she have done if she hadn’t been able to make a cool-headed judgnt?
Clearly, the failure to kill Anaxia must have caused a major backlash. Therefore, it was necessary for Odellit herself to deal the final blow to the dying boss.
Odellit deserves to be recognized for her contribution and take her fair share of the spoils.
‘Yes, the dungeon is mine!’
When Odellit’s eyes sparkled with secret joy.
“You got caught.”
