Book 10: Chapter 42: Hero and Sage
Danna-samas power will revive you as long as you dont give up on life. Is your loyalty to that person only to this extent?
I-I apologize.
Sitri sensed that Orga was about to be annihilated, so she teleported to the dungeon.
Big sisAre you a monster too?
No. Youre mistaken.
Sitri teleported Orga by force to a different floor, then she faced Akari once again.
I am Sitri. Im the Demon King.
Eh!?
Akari couldnt hide how shaken she was to hear that the woman who gave her bread was no other than the demon king.
Well, I did say Demon King, but my power has already been obliterated by that person, so
Then, youre not the Demon King now?
Indeed. Just as you saw when we met at the magical academy, Ive been living as a normal person.
You didnt do anything bad?
...Im a demon, so I ate peoples souls in the past.
Sitri had never killed a person directly before. Thats because there was no meaning for a demon to kill a human themselves.
However, there were many instances when the people who obtained power by forming contracts with her, killed other people.
Then Youre the enemy of people, is that it?
Thats right. Will you defeat me?
J-Just once
Yes?
Ill let you off just this once. Consider it as thanks for the bread.
Akaris hero consciousness was telling her that Sitri was an enemy she had to defeat.
HuhFu, fufufu. Did you not listen to what I just said? Im a demon, and a former Demon King, to boot. And yet youre going to let me off?
Yes, just this time. I will have to slay you the next time we meet.
Akari stared straight into Sitris eyes while saying that. Her resolve was infused in each word she uttered.
Seems like youre serious about it. However, its a different story as to whether you can defeat me or not.
Sitri conjured a colossal amount of mana and wrapped it around her.
...So you wont flee, huh.
Akari also decided to fight against Sitri.
Yes. I wont escape. I cant escape. Thats because Im the last boss of this dungeon.
Sitri realized that Akari was more powerful than Orga. However, the thought of her losing to the girl didnt even cross her mind.
She was the Demon King, and she had become more powerful thanks to her husband. Thus, there was no way she would think that she would be inferior to some ordinary human.
So Big Sis is the last boss. Then, I have no choice but to defeat you. I want to clear this dungeon.
Thats a great goal. The power that enabled you to roam in this dungeon and defeat Orga allow me to see that for myself. Please consider me as the former Demon King, and give it your all.
...I understand.
Akaris expression changed.
Im definitely going to subjugate the Demon King.
Her weapon changed, adapting to her will.
It transformed a Gods Grade weapon from its Legendary Grade.
Akaris mana poured into the black sword she was gripping, and the weapon started to glow.
The mana that the girl had been repressing subconsciously were gradually being released.
Eh T-This is
Sitri had been chill before, but she started to lose her composure as she watched Akaris mana steadily balloon.
Akari didnt even release 10% of her power when she fought against Orga.
However, the Demon King that she was supposed to slay was standing right in front of her now.
She could sense that the power within Sitri was stronger than any other monster she encountered in this world.
Originally, Akari didnt want to hurt Sitri because she was the person who gave her bread.
However, the woman told her that she didnt have to let her go, and that she could fight with all she had.
That meant Sitri was confident.
That was what Akari thought.
She wouldnt be unwilling.
She would give her all right off the bat.
She didnt want to slay Sitri, the person who had been treating her sincerely, but she was more focused on the aftermath if she were to succeed in defeating Sitri.
If she killed her, then she would be able to take all the time in the world to look for a way to meet her brother.
She wanted to be done with this as soon as possible.
Once Akaris resolve was fixed, her skills were automatically activated in order to defeat the Demon King.
Akari realized that her skills were automatically activated through her <Hypersense>.
She also realized that everything would be fine if she were to entrust herself to those skills.
In that case, the guilt she felt from dealing with someone she knew disappeared.
The outcome of the battle had already been set in stone the moment Akari decided to defeat Sitri.
Her <Divine Vision> stopped the time.
Even the Demon King was helpless against it she couldnt move.
The time that could be stopped was only a few seconds, but for Akari who possessed <Divine Vision>, those seconds were abnormally long.
She closed the distance to Sitir in just a blink of an eye, and she posed, ready to draw her sword. A scabbard had appeared by her waist without her realizing it, and the black sword she had been gripping was already inside it.
Bye-bye, Big Sis.
The black sword was infused with Akaris mana, and it had evolved into a Genesis Grade weapon.
Akari had become the worlds most powerful swordsman because of the effect of her skills as well as her mastering Orgas swordsmanship. She wielded the Black Sword, which had turned into the most powerful weapon of this world.
She drew her sword from the scabbard faster than the speed of sound, and it was about to strike the defenseless Sitri by the neck
It didnt hit the woman.
Eh!?
Akaris eyes were wide open in shock.
However, it wasnt because the black sword broke in half right at its center.
How dangerous. So glad I made it on time.
She had felt a surge of longing for the man who suddenly appeared before her, saved Sitri and broke the black swords blade in half.
