Chapter 104



After the demon shouted, a thick arm burst out of its chest .


“Haa!?” (Dodras)


The insect demon’s face was filled with astonishment, as this was beyond its expectation .


“No way . How!? Why did it attack my body!?” (Dodras)


The arm deftly moved about, tearing the insect demon apart .


“St-stop! Vallark!!” (Dodras)


The insect demon had lost both of its arms and legs, but it was somehow still alive .


Perhaps it was because of the demon’s immense vitality, but that also meant the pain would be prolonged .


A second arm burst out of the crack . The arms then began to attempt to widen the crack .


The sound of tearing as well as the insect demon’s scream echoed .


Finally, the insect demon’s body was torn in two .


What appeared from the tear, was a comically huge upper body if compared to the still intact lower body .


Its total height was about 8 meters tall . Since the insect demon was of a similar height to a human, then the upper body alone was as tall as 7 meters .


It had 2 pairs of arms just like the insect demon . Since its body was so big compared to the lower body, the arms could actually extend to the floor .


However, despite being the same length, the arms had different skin texture and number of joints, as if they were someone else’s arms that were stuck to the huge body .


The head resembled that of a dog or a lizard . It had a pronounced snout, and rows of jagged teeth jutting out at random spots .


Its eyes glowed, as if searching for prey .


“Uaaaa” (Dodras)


The upper part of the insect demon seemed to be still breathing, barely dangling around Vallark’s waist .


I suppose it was because its head survived from being torn apart .


Even so, it appeared that the lower body was currently under Vallark’s control .


It walked in a gorilla-like gait .


When I tried to read the status, what happened was the same as when I tried to see Leelan’s .


In other words…


“It’s a chimera?” (Hibiki)


I muttered inside my armor to no one in particular .



Those in the spectator seats were deprived of their magic power by this abomination .

“Grrr, graa—” (Vallark)


Vallark bellowed . Its voice was loud enough to even shake the stadium .


The next moment, Vallark began moving towards the audience .


“Is it going to attack the audience!?” (Lux)


Lux rushed in and immediately stood before Vallark .


Vallark stopped its pace, looking down at the obstacle that was Lux .


Lux already brandished his sword .


At the same time, Vallark arm was bearing down on Lux without any prior sign .


“Haaaa!!” (Lux)


Lux shifted his sword into a reverse grip, and charged towards Vallark’s attack .


A dull sound could be heard, and Vallark’s arm had been lopped off around the wrist . (EN: I know that doesn’t make sense but that’s what it says . )


Meanwhile, Lux was also pushed backwards away from his original position .


“Kuh, that was quite heavy . ” (Lux)


Apparently he had used “Fierce Sword”, but despite that he was still pushed back .


And the arm that was severed had already begun regenerating .


“Hyaaaa!!” (Gina)


Gina cut the demon’s right arm with the Demon Slaying Sword (Replica) to halt its movement .


The wound let out white smoke for a short while, but it also quickly regenerated .


“Spread out a little!!” (Brigitte)


Gina and Lux backed out at Brigitte’s call .


At the next moment, a blade made of wind magic struck Vallark .


It was not a whirlwind cut created by the likes of a vacuum phenomenon, but instead it was a mix of air and pebbles launched at quite an overwhelming speed .


Brigitte’s【Sound Magic】was after all a derivative of【Wind Magic】, so she was naturally able to control wind to some extent .


Why she didn’t use it in her match was beyond me though .


But Vallark’s skin was also extremely thick, Brigitte’s attack didn’t even scratch it .


However, that blast of strong wind actually still affected it somewhat .


Kuesu took this chance to score some hits .


Vallark was immediately engulfed in firestorms .


However…


“Damn, it didn’t work . ” (Kuesu)


Kuesu regretfully said .


“Kuesu’s Flame Whirlwind didn’t work? That’s impossible . ” (Lux)


Lux was equally surprised .


Of course, it was undamaged .


It was supposedly a clean hit, but there wasn’t any marks on its skin at all .


“Fool!! Vallark feeds on your magic . That won’t work on it!!” (Dodras)


The insect demon swaying around Vallark’s waist laughed .


The term “Fire that would burn a fire mage” was actually quite spot on for that attack just now .


Because, it’s a flame that should’ve been very difficult to put out .


In other words, Vallark actually absorbed Kuesu’s flame .


Brigitte’s attack also carried some amount of magic in it .


The magic power inside Lux and I who were in the ring should’ve also been depleted as well .


It was probably thanks to the “Mark of a Hero” and the “Dragon’s Scale” that we weren’t drained to the point of collapsing .


I didn’t know how much damage the “Fierce Sword” dealt to Vallark, but it seemed to work better than Kuesu’s attack .


In other words, my attack should be able to damage it as well .


I produced a fire bullet using【Holy Fire Magic】 .


Vallark was still trapped inside Kuesu’s Flame Whirlwind .


“Go!!” (Hibiki)


The fire bullet directly hit Vallark, then mixed in with Kuesu’s Flame Whirlwind .


The【Holy Fire Magic】melded together with Kuesu’s 【Wind Magic】 .


“Gyuraaaaa!?” (Vallark)


A voice of pain rose from Vallark’s mouth .


Meanwhile, the insect demon was killed immediately by this attack .


“Amazing!!”


Gina and Brigitte let out surprised voices . However, I had exhibited this【Holy Fire Magic】back in the semifinals .


I had no need to hide anymore .


Vallark crouched down to try and escape the flames, even just slightly .


“Weird . It didn’t get burned at all . ” (Brigitte)


Brigitte commented as the flame whirlwind gradually died down .


What appeared when the fire was completely extinguished, was the figure of Vallark whose unbalanced upper body was finally balanced out with his lower half .


It was 10 meters tall now, and it walked toward us in a more relaxed manner .


Its body was devoid of any burn wounds .


“Impossible! That didn’t even hurt it?”


“Gururu, gruuuーーーー” (Vallark)


As it emerged from the fire, Vallark howled at the sky . Its power was obviously stronger than before .


Zir confirmed my suspicion .


“Not good, because of yond howl just now the monsters outside the city art stampeding to this very place as we speak . ” (Zir)


Zir’s ghost explained the situation that was happening outside of the city .


When the audience went comatose, I had a ghost sent to downtown Brett to investigate .


At that point, only the audience was in a coma, the city was peaceful otherwise .


At a later point, Zir’s ghost was supposed to bring in the city’s standing army .


But there should be some magicians among the standing army .


Vallark would just use those magician’s magic power as a snack .


Zir alone could not carry me away .


In other words, I could only let the army deal with the monsters that Vallark had summoned .


“Tell Echo this . Can you play around with the monsters outside a little?” (Hibiki)


Zir listened to my suggestion through mind reading .


The ghost headed out in haste . The choice was either helping Lux in here or the army outside .


Besides, both Zir and I can demonstrate our full power if there was no one watching .


“You seem to be struggling . Going to use that?” (Selva)


Selva pointed her finger up to the prize box that contained a ring .


I knew the contents since I could see through it, and no one else would know the meaning of that pointing finger otherwise .


It was probably here because it was supposedly awarded at the closing ceremony when the matches were over .


Zir drew near to look inside the box .


There were 2 swords and a small wooden box inside . Along with that were 4 bags full of money .


“This is, the Holy Sword Light of Hope . For now, it should be good enough as a dragon slayer sword . ” (Hibiki)


The sword was thrown towards Lux .


But since Lux was still confronting Vallark, Kuesu was the one who caught the sword .


“Give it to the Hero!!” (Zir)


Zir told Kuesu that, before we left the stadium .


As the ghost was exploring the vicinity, I asked Ruby to expose the armor around the face .


“Thanks for the help, Zir . ” (Hibiki)


“Yond wast only something I naturally shouldst doth . So, what wilt thee doth anon?” (Zir)


“It depends on the amount of monsters outside . ” (Hibiki)


Zir thought for a while then replied . (EN: author typo? It should be Hibiki)


It was not that big of a number, since the city had just been attacked only recently .


The ones attacking now were merely the remnants . It appeared that the danger wasn’t that great .


“Then what’s next?” (Hibiki)


“Shouldn’t milord move more freely?” (Zir)


Apparently, Zir was questioning my decision to let Echo fight .


“Moreover, if milord moves more freely, shouldn’t thee beest able to defeat the monsters outside and in hither at the same moment?” (Zir)


As Ayla said, this fellow sees me on a high pedestal . I guess it was just her personality .


“Let’s leave that Vallark to Lux then . ” (Hibiki)


“Then ye art going for the monster stampede outside?” (Zir)


“No, I’m going to unveil the black curtain . ” (Hibiki)
