“Haa… haa…”
My breathing was ragged, my eyes were heavy. My parched throat craved for relief, and my entire body swelled with unimaginable pain, but I held them all in.
“You’ve done well to hold on for so long. You’re quite a monster. If there were more of you… perhaps things might have gone differently.”
Kahn’s voice was calm, collected… and arrogant.
‘Hehe…’
Just as I wanted.
“You must be feeling pretty good, picking on a kid. I didn’t think Demons were such despicable scum, but I guess the legends were true, after all.
“WHAT?!”
Yes…
“YOU LITTLE RUNT!”
… Just like that…
“TO THINK I THOUGHT OF SHOWING YOU RCY!”
… Lose control, Kahn!
>WHUUUUSSSHHH!!!SHUUUUU!!!<
The massive shadow spikes that ca my way were instantly neutralized, turning into dust.
“Uh?”
Kahn’s eyes bulged wide open, but before he could act on his surprise, I made my mood.
“Spellcraft: Magic Fortress!”
I gathered imnse Mana from my surroundings.
A large quantity of Mana swirled around , compressing to form the greatest barrier I had ever made.
The field of concentrated Mana shielded , emitting golden light that illuminated the dark night.
“W—what is this? You shouldn’t have any Mana left—no, you shouldn’t even be able to do Magic in your current state!”
“What state?” I smiled.
Kahn’s eyes bulged, and he seed to have realized that my body had recovered to quite an extent.
‘I used up all my Potions, but only achieved about sixty-five percent recovery, uh?’
I wasn’t certain if my current condition would be enough for what was to co, but… right now, there was no longer any option.
It was do or die!
“… Spellcraft…”
Everything for a distance of two hundred ters beca illuminated by golden fragnts of light all around.
Like fireflies dancing in the dark, these light particles perated the area, encircling the vicinity—with Kahn and at the center.
“W—what is this? What’s going on? M—my Miasma?!”
The Shadow Demon appeared frantic at this point, confounded by the disappearance of the demonic energy that once pervaded our imdiate vicinity.
“It’s all gone…”
Kahn glared at with shock and confusion, but I didn’t plan on saying anymore.
This was a gambit that required all my concentration—my everything. Any mistake and I was fated to die.
‘It’s ti to activate them… my Magic Stones!’
>SHIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!SHUIIIIII!!!<
The light pillars ford a barrier around him, trapping the Shadow Demon at the center. He couldn’t escape even if he tried his hardest.
After all, it was fortified and concentrated to the limit.
“YOU BRAT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!”
He lost his composure and barked at , glaring hatefully at my grinning self. I could sense his panic. Kahn probably knew what was coming.
My smile was short-lived, though. My face contorted into a pained expression and blood spurted out of my mouth.
“Guarggghhh!!!”
More crimson liquid dyed the ground—the consequence of pushing myself so far—but I wasn’t about to let up now. I had finally co so far.
“You’re going to die here… Kahn!” I growled.
The Demon growled and barked so more, desperately trying to free itself from the barrier.
The only way out was through defying space itself and teleporting. To prevent that possibility, I made sure to make him waste his energy in his earlier assaults. As Kahn currently stood—he didn’t have enough to escape.
The golden fragnts of light that spread for over two hundred ters began converging, atop Kahn, far above him—in the sky.
Several million pieces quickly rged with the orb that began forming as it sucked Mana fragnts like crazy. The orb slowly got bigger, and as it did, I compressed it.
My body was in overdrive, working to move the Mana particles to the orb, as well as condensing the mass of Mana that ford above.
“Kuakk!!!” More blood poured out, but I ignored it.
“HEY! LET OUT NOW! YOU KNOW I HAVE VERSIONS AROUND, DON’T YOU? I’LL KILL YOUR FRIENDS WHERE THEY ARE! YOU CAN’T SAVE THEM ALL! RELEASE NOW!”
“Hehehe… hehehe…” I made a slight laugh, staring at the foolish and ignorant Demon in front of .
“Unfortunately for you… I have no friends…”
My voice was hollow, but I made sure he heard those words.
Kahn’s eyes widened, his expression intensified, and he scread like a mad man.
No one wanted to die—not even a Demon.
Too bad for him…
‘… You reap what you sow.’
The clusters of golden light had reached a crescendo, and the orb—now the size of about a curled-up adult man, brimd with so much power that I felt my skin stand from my position.
‘It’s ready!’
I commanded the ten Magic Stones around Kahn to go into overdrive, increasing the destruction that was to co, as well as exploding the multiple pieces of light that still floated around.
Like fireworks, each light fragnt exploded into golden glimrs of destruction, getting sucked into the critical orb that was monts from erupting.
Like a swirling wormhole, it took in all the excess Mana around, leaving only my barrier and the one around Kahn alone.
“… It’s like I said… Kahn…”
The Demon, who was frightfully staring at the mass above him, now sharply glanced at .
“… I am going to kill you…”
“DON’T DO IT!!!” He bellowed.
I brushed off all the mories I had of the being in front of and focused on my goal—my duty!
>KRAAAAAAKKKKKK!!!<
Flashes of golden lightning and blinding light surged from the orb.
“… Die, Demon!”
