Dagons Death
The first act was the head-on collision of the Berneze and Dagon army. And if the second act was the arrival of Ryomas reinforcents, then the third act was Dagons attempt at a vicious revenge.
It had seed like it would be over for him after being attacked from the back, but once Dagon moved to the front and started fighting, he regained the advantage quickly.
It was true that Ryoma and the reinforcents from the other cities were efficiently taking down Dagons soldiers, but Dagon himself was much too strong. And so even though his army grew smaller, he still overwheld the Berneze troops.
Ryoma muttered with a bitter expression, I knew there was a Demon King here who had the power to change the tide of battle, but I didnt expect it to be Dagon.
Indeed, that was the case. Dagon crushed dozens under his foot and killed just as many with his fists. At this point, he was likely responsible for half of the deaths of our soldiers.
And since Ryoma was very wise, she imdiately understood that there was no point in focusing on Dagons n. They would have to take down the Demon King himself.
And so she gave the order to the artilleries behind her. They would fire at Dagon all at once.
It was clear that they hadnt expected to use cannons here, and it took awhile for them to be prepared. However, they sohow managed, and began firing.
Deafening sound erupted all over the battlefield.
Dagon was hit by one of them. And even he could not avoid taking great damage after being hit by a mass of tal flying at an incredible speed.
Dagon stumbled. After that, Jeanne and Toshizou took advantage of the opening and charged in with their swords.
It was impressive teamwork. I praised their ability and then chanted sothing aside from the forbidden magic. Telepathy.
Like this, I could open up a ntal channel with Robin Hood.
Robin. The forbidden magic will be completed soon. Fall back and stay near .
Robins silence was his answer. At first I wondered if it hadnt reached him, but that was not the case.
He bit his lip and said,
He is the enemy of the woman I love. I want to kill him with my own hands.
I see. I understand how you feel. And so I an to allow you the last blow.
What do you an?
Robin asked.
I could only reply in one way.
Dagon is a Demon King. He might even be listening to this conversation. Will you trust and back down? Ill tell you my plan in person.
I pleaded with him and Robin agreed, though clearly with a feeling of regret.
If it turned out that I was lying to him, he would probably try and kill . Thats how much rage was in his eyes.
(This wont do. He will burn out into nothing.)
That being said, there was only so much that I could do. And so I would have to do it with everything that was in .
My voice shook.
I just finished chanting the forbidden magic. I will now cast it on your arrow. And I want you to aim that arrow into Dagons liver.
I added that it should be easy enough for soone who could shoot a doe between the eyes.
That won't be a problem. But will that really kill the giant?
It will. I was told this by soone very important to you.
Important?
Robin looked puzzled. I ignored him and looked at Su, the Carbuncle. Su remained silent.
Just trust . And the person who you hold dear.
Very well. I will trust you. I may not be a man who is worth trusting, but you are.
Robin said as he aid his arrow at the giant.
And so I prepared to unleash the spell that was stored in my right hand.
Listen. You will only have one chance. Jeanne and the others wont last another minute. I will not be able to use this magic again.
I understand. And dont worry. I wont miss.
Robin declared as he unleashed the arrow.
It flew in an arch towards Dagon. And its trajectory was clearly headed towards his liver. The right side of his stomach.
Once I was certain, I unleashed the forbidden magic. It was Enlarge. You could turn a street rat into the size of a dragon. However, there was one flaw.
This world was ruled by gravity, and creatures who beco huge cannot support their own weight. This was especially true for creatures that walked on two legs. They would not even be able to stand.
In other words, it was defective magic, but it could be useful as well.
For instance, with objects. You could make sothing simple, like an arrow, much larger
I watched as the arrow enlarged right as it pierced into Dagons stomach.
It was now the size of a log, and hit Dagons liver with precision.
The arrow had been the size of a twig at first but then grown huge as it caught him in the stomach. He must have been very shocked indeed.
Dagon spat out a torrent of blood as he fell to his knees.
Y-youbastard Demon King. You and your tricks
My parents taught to be proud of being sly. So Ill take that as a complint.
Curse your parents. I wish I could crush them in this hand.
Unfortunately for you, they are already dead. They are in a different worlds heaven. You will never get the chance.
Then I will wait for you in this worlds hell. And there, I will strangle you to death.
How frightening. But there are many people who want dead. Demon King Sabnac, Demon King Eligos, Demon King Decarbia, Demon King Zagam. So you might have to wait in line.
I doubt any of them will be able to defeat you before I.
I agree. That being said, this victory doesnt belong to , but Robin. He continued to shoot at you.
Thats true. But dont think you will find such capable subordinates in hell
Dagon chuckled and then closed his eyes. After a mont, he fell to the ground on his face. There was a loud crash and the ground shook.
The ruler of the seas, Demon King Dagon, was dead. And the mont he fell, the Berneze guards, rcenaries, and reinforcents from the neighboring cities began to dance with joy.
