Am I going to die here today?
Without fulfilling my ideal of peace, dragging so many people into this, dying here with a heart full of regret?
The black mist silently surged forward, gradually covering his body.
Drowsiness suddenly assaulted his entire being, his eyelids growing heavy as they fought to stay open.
Thudding sounds ca from nearby—reincarnators like Kyouya Mitsurugi, whose willpower wasn't particularly strong, had already collapsed.
"Iris…"
"Hey, Barnier, how are Iris and the others doing?"
Hearing Asucre ntion everyone, Eiji suddenly rembered—he had previously placed Wolbach, Iris, and the others in the Demon King's Castle! Had they been captured too?
At the ntion of his beloved sister's na, Jedius suddenly perked up.
"Hearing thee speak thus, it seems thou hast regained thy composure."
Barnier praised Eiji, then replied cheerfully.
"Worry not, the goddess Wolbach is far more cautious than thou might imagine. The mont she sensed sothing amiss, she teleported the young princess Iris and the other executives away!"
Is Iris safe…?
Jedius felt a wave of relief and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"What, Miss Wolbach is still alive?!"
gumin's eyes widened.
Faced with the encroaching sea of black mist, she had been at a loss, fearfully awaiting death, even thinking about firing one last shot before dying. Then, she suddenly heard a familiar na.
Back in the Crimson Demon Village, hadn't she personally killed her big sister?
This… this… this…!
"You're ssing with —!!"
"Barnier, protect us!"
The black mist had reached the Demon Lord's Hall, and Kazuma could no longer stay hidden.
He canceled his stealth, leaped out abruptly, grabbed gumin's hand, and shouted at Barnier.
"I'll give you a billion ideas for free!"
"Ten billion! Or no deal!"
"You're too greedy! Five billion at most!"
"Deal!"
Barnier agreed readily.
With a light clap of his hands, a luminous mbrane spread out from him, enveloping Kazuma and gumin. The black mist surged forward but naturally flowed around the mbrane. Seeing this, Kazuma finally let out a sigh of relief.
Though he didn't know what the Great Duke of Hell, Asucre, had done, he had no desire to be covered by that black mist.
He could only protect gumin. As for Darkness, who remained in the square, and Aqua, who had fallen into the enemy's hands—they would have to fend for themselves!
"Wait! Kazuma, save too!"
"You're not going anywhere!Asucre reached out, and a pitch-black two-handed greatsword materialized in her hand. With a swift thrust, she pierced through the heart of the wailing Aqua!
Aqua's eyes widened in shock, never expecting such decisiveness. Her head lolled to the side, and she lay motionless.
Her life force faded—she was surely dead.
"I'll take you back to hell later and deal with you properly!"
A sinister sneer curled on Asucre's lips. Killing her outright was far from satisfying!
Then, she turned her attention to the only man still standing in the hall—Barnier and those within the luminous mbrane, including Kazuma, were already beneath her notice.
"I knew my Dream Mist wouldn't work on you!"
Her expression turned icy and stern.
Though confident in her abilities, she had never underestimated Eiji. She had experienced his power firsthand during the previous capital battle.
After all, she wasn't invincible in hell either. At the very least, in a direct confrontation, she was no match for Maxwell—reality distortion was simply too cheat-like.
Though her heart was filled with hatred and rage, she hadn't lost her rationality.
"A beautiful young man like you dying would be such a waste. If you swear eternal allegiance to , I'll spare your life!"
Yet she wasn't without confidence either, her words spilling out as if victory was already assured.
The response she received was—
"Shriiip!"
A cross-shaped golden sword light pierced straight through her body!
Eiji held two holy swords gleaming with sacred radiance, a cold smirk on his face that seed to say, "In your dreams."
"Then die!"
Asuuk's eyes boiled with killing intent.
She remained completely unhard. Not only that, but phantom after phantom continuously erged from her body.
These illusory figures looked exactly like her, each with curvaceous figures, yet every one of them wielded magic swords of the highest grade, charging fearlessly toward Eiji!
"Clones made from dreams?"
Eiji speculated internally while raising one holy sword.
A "Divine Thunderbolt" shot out—golden holy lightning descended from the sky like piercing spears, sweeping away all the charging Asuuk clones!
"And just now, my slashes clearly hit her, but it felt like cutting through air—that sensation—"
"Another divine artifact?"
Asuuk slightly frowned, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Moreover, just like the demon sword Gram, this one could fully unleash its power. Could this guy be a reincarnated god?
Typically, only gods possessed two or more divine artifacts!
And this ti it was a holy attribute artifact, with particularly obvious restraining effects against demons!
"Regardless, this guy can't be underestimated. Kill him with full power!"
Asuuk fully activated her authority, pouring all the magic power extracted from hell into the dream domain.
"Huh?"
Eiji suddenly froze mid-movent, as if sinking into a swamp, his entire body becoming extrely difficult to move.
"This world is restraining ?"
The dream domain constantly interfered with him, emitting formless telekinetic force that imprisoned him mid-air, preventing even the slightest movent.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, streams of pitch-black flas ca crashing down from above!
Hellfire!
Each fla was the strongest fire-elent attack magic—Hellfire!
Getting hit by that would reduce one to ashes on the spot!
"Haa...!"
Eiji took a deep breath, magic power overflowing from his body to form a protective outline around him in mid-air.
The magic power showed tendencies of transforming into armor, but to conserve energy, Eiji didn't let it fully materialize. Instead, he manifested only the prototype of spiritual armor, keeping the restraining force outside the armor.
His own body then seed to employ bone-shrinking techniques, bones cracking as his entire fra suddenly thinned, allowing him to slip out of the restraints!
A dozen or so hellfire strikes instantly missed their mark.
"Escaped so quickly?"
Yasuke was imdiately taken aback.
Theoretically, this type of attack was neither a skill nor magic—ordinary people would never have encountered it before, making it difficult to devise a counterasure in such a short ti!
However, Eiji had already faced and overco this formless, invisible binding force, all thanks to the generous Mr. Superman Abraham!
