The Demon King Is Nothing Special After All (6K)

"Don't worry, I can temporarily control Miss Claire's body if necessary, so there's no need to fret."

Aurora waved her hand and stood up. As she spoke, she walked to the window and gazed at the scenery outside. A serious look gradually appeared in her violet eyes.

"Furthermore, Mr. Mahiro might really need your help right now. The passage to the 'Black Rose' has been opened, and the real Diablos has arrived."

"What did you say?!"

"I say the true Demon King, the ruler of the First Demon Realm, Diablos, has descended."

Aurora repeated it softly.

The atmosphere in the ward gradually became heavy.

P. S.: Sorry, I had to go out yesterday. I thought I'd take a short nap before writing, but I woke up at 2 AM...

Chapter 228 The Demon King is nothing special (6K)

"Oh my god, this is truly a terrifying existence!"

"It's terrifying. I can feel my blood churning..."

The only remaining people in the audience, Snow Woman and Elizabeth, looked up at the monster.

Although the Snow Woman's words remained relaxed and carefree, the smile on her face had already frozen.

Just as Elizabeth said, she could also feel that the blood flow in her body had accelerated as if it were about to burst out of her body, and her magic was also out of control to varying degrees.

It was as if they had encountered their natural enemy; their power was suppressed in every way.

"I wonder how much of my strength I can still muster now..."

The Snow Woman raised her iron fan and waved it gently in front of her.

In an instant, the numerous demonic beasts swooping down from the sky turned into a rain of blood.

Snap!

Natsu and Kana, standing to the side, held up vermilion oil-paper umbrellas to shield everyone from the sun.

"Hmm~ so-so, about 60% of its strength."

This is an exaggerated estimate by the Snow Woman; in reality, it's less than 60%.

Just what is the origin of this huge creature?

The next second, the torrential rain of blood suddenly stopped and hovered in mid-air.

It immediately transformed into countless long needles and shot towards the sky.

The monster pierced by the blood needle instantly tore into pieces and fell from the sky.

"Thirty percent."

Elizabeth lowered her raised hand towards the sky and sighed softly.

She was suppressed even more severely than the Snow Woman, perhaps because she was closer to Diablos in terms of bloodline.

However, the Snow Woman completely took her words as a Versailles.

They actually said it was 30%?!

Do you really think you can outpower the Nine-Tailed Fox, who was injected with Master's potion, with your full power?!

The Snow Woman was very resentful.

Just then, a bolt of lightning ripped through the dark sky.

A burst of pure white and deep purple light erupted from the ground.

The aftershocks of the magic instantly filled the entire arena.

Two beams of light shot straight into the sky, their target Diablos, who stood tall in the heavens!

Long--

The two beams of light immediately dissipated, and the purple light simply turned into a meteor and fell back to the earth, flying backwards for nearly a hundred kilometers.

Meanwhile, Mahiro, appearing as a white ray of light, desperately resisted Diablos's palm.

The air exploded with a roar, and Minami- like ripple spread rapidly outwards, creating a vacuum zone.

The huge palm pressed against the fist, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on it!

At the same time, a shock pierced through his body.

It unleashes irrational power with irrational magic.

What it just did was very simple—just a simple wave of its hand—and it caused such damage.

How on earth did those people in the cult manage to cut off the arm of such an outrageously powerful monster?!

Indeed, through the analysis of the Alpha Stigma and Eidos Eye, Mahiro clearly understood that the behemoth-like Demon King before him was the owner of the arm he had witnessed in the Sanctuary—

The beginning of everything in this world, the First Primogenitor Demon King, the father of the three heroes and the witch of calamity—

Diablos!

At that moment, through the gaps between Diablos's massive claws, Mahiro feel the cruel, human smile that emanated from Diablos.

"... Don't get too cocky, you bastard!!!"

Under the influence of Tyrant's genes, Mahiro had become accustomed to this power and immediately thrust upwards.

In comparison, her petite arms unleashed terrifying power, instantly pushing the Demon King's hand away by nearly two meters.

Even Diablos seemed surprised by this.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of white light appeared.

Mahiro the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, its holy blade silently slicing across Diablos's palm.

"The ruthless Queen of Steel, the holy sword that slays demons and monsters—"

"--Transform into a steel blade here, to aid me in slaying all my enemies!"

[Everything is as you wish.]

Swish--

Diablos' palm was instantly slashed with a nearly penetrating gash, splattering out a large amount of scalding blood, like a river of blood flowing backwards.

Every drop of blood contains a terrifying magical power.

"It's not over yet!"

Just as the blood droplets were about to hit the ground, the blood immediately changed direction, transforming into thousands of long swords that flew back and pierced through its body.

This is a technique I learned from Queen Elizabeth.

Furthermore, after absorbing Queen Elizabeth's blood, his control and understanding of blood became even more refined.

Unfortunately, these crimson flying swords were far too small for the massive Diablos.

It felt like long needles were piercing its body, and it even lost control of itself instantly.

The aftershocks instantly engulfed the entire capital!

Diablos let out a painful roar, a furious cry that shook the heavens and the earth.

Mahiro swung his longsword, shaking off the bloodstains and collecting them.

The final goal has been achieved.

However, more is needed.

Diablos's blood was unlike anything else; it was not something he could create through alchemy.

Although I hate to admit it, I have to admit that he is far inferior to Diablos in terms of rank.

Just as God cannot create a stone that He cannot lift.

He also couldn't replicate blood with such immense magical power.

Just a single drop contains enough magical power to rival that of tens of thousands of Princess Alice...

"--Such a massive magical beast is truly rare."

Just then, Cid, dressed in a long black coat, returned to the sky and hovered to one side of him.

"I didn't expect you to still be alive."

Mahiro chuckled subtly, "You actually didn't die from a single slap."

"Hmph, such a mere attack would require another hundred years of cultivation to kill me!"

That statement has a somewhat boastful element to it.

That sudden slap just now must have caused Cid some serious injury.

The bones were fine, but the internal organs suffered varying degrees of shock.

This is why it took Cid so long to recover from his spectacular fall and return to this place.

He truly never expected to suffer such harm.

So--

"My nemesis, let's join forces this time to deal with this monster," Cid suggested.

"Wow... I thought you'd fight me first, and then have a one-on-one duel with this big guy."

"Hmph, I'm not that foolish."

Cid knew very well.

This monster is unlike any we've seen before; it's a real monster!

He alone would probably find it difficult to deal with.

This was a consensus between the two of them.

Therefore, the moment they sensed the earth-shaking, incredibly powerful magic, they tacitly stopped fighting and ceased their infighting.

They all set their sights on Diablos, who was on the verge of tearing the interdimensional portal apart!

However, during their brief and amicable exchange, the wounds on Diablos's claws had completely healed.

This outrageous regenerative ability reminded Yotsuba Mahiro of the Level 5 Zodiac...

No, it's several times better than that!

Not only that, Diablos also opened his gaping maw toward them.

An almost tangible torrent of magical power gathered in its mouth, and like Godzilla's atomic breath, it was instantly unleashed.

Rumble--

The attack, like divine punishment, arrived in an instant; the fierce magical hurricane alone was enough to destroy everything!

--"Phalanx"--

Shields of magical energy surged forth continuously, blocking the magical impact like light cannons. A torrent of ink-black magical energy poured down, transforming into black lightning that flashed across the surroundings.

Even Cid had to raise his slime shield to try and block the attack.

Because they knew very well that if this attack landed on the ground, it would be an unprecedented disaster.

I'm afraid the entire capital of Midgar will be reduced to scorched earth in an instant!

At the same time, the horde of monsters lurking in the sky also began to move.

They flew to all parts of the Midgar capital, swooping down from the sky like eagles, snatching one human after another from the streets or the buildings where they were hiding.

Clutching them in my hand like French fries, I ate them bit by bit, finishing them off completely.

Among them is Rose's mother, Queen Reina of the Oriana Kingdom.

"Ah--!!! Let me go, do you know who I am?!!"

Princess Reina frantically pounded on the menacing arms that were gripping her shoulders.

But how could the monster possibly heed her screams? Instead, it gleefully scooped her out of the mansion and flew into the sky, towards the arena.

"Duke Doem! Help me!!!"
