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

Reina continued shouting in mid-air.

They exemplified the word "foolish" to the fullest extent.

Until she saw a head lying in a corner of the ruins of the arena.

The look of terror on his face before he died was forever frozen in time.

That was Duke Doem's head!

"H-How could this be... Do -Duke Doem..."

Princess Reina was terrified.

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

They didn't even notice that more and more magical beasts were gathering around them.

The monsters grabbed her hands and feet.

With a tearing sound, her long dress was ripped to shreds, and her body, exposed to the cold air, finally came to her senses.

"No, no! Ah--!!!"

Hiss--

This time, it wasn't just her dress that was torn; Reina was ripped to shreds.

Divide and eat.

And scenes like these are playing out in every corner of the capital.

Humans are food in the eyes of monsters.

Lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Until the dark, sharp blade sliced through the air, slaying them.

"Everyone, now it's our turn! Seven Shadows, get moving! Assist Mahiro in defeating the monster, provide favorable attack angles, and don't let him be distracted by this!"

Alpha raised the golden holy sword in his hand, and the radiance it emitted instantly annihilated a large number of magical beasts.

"Yes!!!"

The numberers sprang into action once again.

Their target is no longer the cult members, but the monster legions invading the world!

Even the Seven Shadows were almost all mobilized at this moment.

The duo who rushed over-

Beta conjured a jet-black longbow in his hand, equipped with arrows of light, and unleashed a rain of arrows to annihilate wave after wave of monsters.

Meanwhile, Epsilon wields its scythe, working in tandem with Beta, reaping lives like the Grim Reaper.

The two who usually argue the most have become the best partners at this moment.

"Boss, Delta's here to help too!"

"You stupid dog, don't get in my way!"

Delta and Zeta, two orcs, used the latest technology developed by Ita to activate flight magic using slimes and take to the sky.

Zeta's ring swept across the monster army blocking her way, and she charged straight into them to engage in battle.

Every time Zeta was about to be backstabbed, the attack would inexplicably pass through her body; that was the vampire clan's ability to transform into mist.

I never expected she would actually learn this.

Even the manipulation of blood is the same; he can use it skillfully, treating those magical beasts like fireworks, exploding them into dazzling bursts of light.

As for Delta, being a complete brute, she's much simpler.

His weapon was a pair of claws, and he fought purely on instinct, using his body's regenerative abilities to trade blows with the group of magical beasts.

You got hit?

It's okay, we can just twist their heads off later!

It's that simple and straightforward.

Meanwhile, Ita, a researcher, also joined the battle. Despite looking half-asleep, she conjured dozens of weapons around her and remotely controlled them to slay all the invading enemies!

Her killing speed has completely surpassed that of the newly joined Omega, also known as Beatrice.

Seeing how formidable they were, Beatrice felt both reassured and slightly defeated.

Have her successors all become this strong?

Even that elf named Gamma was the same...

"Behold my ultimate move, my all-out effort!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gamma poured an enormous amount of magic power, slightly surpassing that of Alpha, who had inherited Olivier's power, into the blade.

Then--

"You all better watch out for this move... Pshaw!"

I fell down.

He fell on the only flat, open space, tripping over his left foot with his right.

She sprawled gracefully on the ground.

The sword, imbued with immense magical power, was thrown out and flew into the air.

Rumble--

The magic erupted, instantly killing hundreds of magical beasts.

Despite their outstanding track record, the way they were used really doesn't give people any peace of mind.

Let's just pretend we didn't see it...

Beatrice decisively turned her head and continued to deal with the monster in front of her.

Brilliant sword lights flashed one after another, and countless chunks of flesh fell from the sky.

But the strongest is still Alpha; every time it swings its holy sword, it is enough to destroy hundreds of monsters.

With Elizabeth and the Snow Woman working together, it was an absolute crushing defeat for the monster army!

However, what they did was merely a drop in the ocean.

These magical beasts seemed endless, constantly emerging from the passages of the "Black Rose," and could not be killed indefinitely.

Alpha kept a serious eye on the monster army in the passage, while also looking worriedly at Yotsuba Mahiro, who was blocking Diablos's attack in mid-air.

Honestly, she really wants to help Mahiro right now and fight alongside him.

With her strength, she was capable of reaching the threshold of a battle of that scale.

But she held back.

Because we can't do that.

Mahiro is fighting, she must act as the central figure of the Shadow Garden, directing their battle and cannot leave the scene under any circumstances.

"Please, you must defeat Diablos, my beloved master."

This is the first time Alpha has addressed Mahiro as "master".

Her prayers seemed to reach the heavens, and the previously deadlocked situation reversed in that instant.

[Mahiro, use me to block the opponent's attack.]

"Are you serious?"

Upon hearing Est's voice, Mahiro was slightly taken aback.

[Yes, I can absorb its attack, and then you Mahiro opportunity to counterattack.]

This wasn't Est being defiant; it was simply her usual way of using it.

Unlike other sword spirits, she possesses a unique ability to break spells, but in essence, she is an energy-devouring being.

Her predecessor, the saintess Arecia Edith, used her to kill too many elves and devour their resentment and hatred.

Ultimately, this backfired, turning him into a magical ore.

Although she did not want to tell her current master Yotsuba Mahiro, about this ability.

But for now, she feels this is the best solution.

Only--

"No need to say anything else, I know your curse and backlash very well, those things are no problem for me at all."

From the hilt of the sword, Mahiro sensed the worry emanating from Est.

Rather, if Est hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten that the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword possessed such an ability.

Immediately afterwards, he withdrew his magical protection and, at the moment the light descended, raised the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword to meet it.

Zi--

A powerful torrent of magic collided with the slender blade, sparking magical flames.

The descending light beam was being devoured into the sword blade at a visible speed.

At the same time, Mahiro also felt a subtle energy flowing into his body.

The wails sounded like those of a vengeful spirit.

Is this what they call a curse?

"Well done, my nemesis."

"Stop talking nonsense! Instead of wasting time on such pointless chatter, do something worthwhile!"

"Hmph, I know what to do."

Upon being reprimanded, Cid instantly transformed his shield into a longsword and swung it at Diablos.

Swish--

Too shallow!

His sword strike didn't cause much damage; it only left a deep, bone-revealing wound on Diablos's back, which healed completely in the blink of an eye.

They couldn't even cut off its arm!

This behavior only enraged Diablos, who roared again, abandoned his beam attack, and swung his tail violently.

When--

The hard scales collided and rubbed against the black sword, creating intense sparks.

"This sky is already under my control; brand it onto your flesh— the Deep Darkness Birdcage."

Cid imitated the technique that Mahiro had used before, unfurling threads made of fine magic in the dim sky and then pouring magic into them in one breath.

The next moment.

The Demon King's howls echoed throughout the area.

Countless magical threads mercilessly sliced through its body.

The enormous dragon tail was actually severed off.

A large amount of blood gushed out, falling like raindrops.

The severed limbs crashed heavily to the ground, causing a tremendous, earth-shaking impact.

This was the limit of what Cid could do; the opponent's magic was terrifying, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Therefore, no matter how much magic power is gathered, it is probably impossible to severely damage its enormous body with these fine threads.

Cid made this judgment immediately.

Furthermore, Diablos, enraged, raised his claws and swung them down at Cid.

"Hmph, is this all the tricks you have?!"

Cid clenched his fist and met the opponent's claws head-on.

Boom--
