Zela and Eutinus.

A girl who wants to become a demon god and a girl who has become a demon god finally meet on the surface of this lake favored by legends.

Nothing surprising.

She had anticipated this outcome long before she chose to step into the ceremonial arena of Eutinus.

Now that they have officially decided to touch the realm of the gods and attack the 'troublemakers' at the apex of the phase, is it necessary to hesitate now?

That's why Zela has so many delayed defenses on the periphery.

So to speak.

Magic that can be redistributed to any terrain in the area within the magic power, and the world is reconstructed "Universeone".

An original sin technique used to judge those who are deemed guilty by the caster, the poem of great sins, "The Sea of Human Evil".

and the final absolute defense magic, an advanced and improved version of the Fairy Ball, "The Fairy Sanctuary".

Like the 'Stars of the Sky' that fought against Orels before, these are the crystallization of the 'wisdom' that Zela has mastered in the field of magic so far.

Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these techniques was greatly diminished by the lack of full support from the surgeon himself.

However, these three lines of defense were not intended to defeat Otinus, and in terms of interference alone, the results achieved so far can be said to be quite good.

Sixty-two seconds.

It's a better number than Zela's estimate.

Before Othinus arrived, they had all fulfilled their mission with honor.

It's a pity.

（…… The Demon God is still the Demon God after all...... ）

Even if her power is incomplete.

Zela sighed inwardly.

That's next.

（…… You're welcome, borrow your wisdom! ）

in her eyes.

There seems to be starlight circulating.

……

……

So-called jokes, when they are not timely, usually end in tragedy.

The one-eyed girl moved her fingers, convinced that she had heard correctly.

"Do you know who you're standing in front of and what you're talking about?"

Saying things like 'I want to be a demon god' in front of a pure demon god without thinking is not ignorance, and words like provocation are enough to describe it.

Covering two questions in one sentence, Othinus pressed against the brim of his hat, his gaze as cold as the wind.

"If you want to be killed by me, you don't have to use this crappy way, I will satisfy you."

Words that embody cruelty spread across the lake.

But the other 'person' is not affected by it.

"I'm sorry, but that's the only thing I can't compromise."

"I still hope that this kind of thing is better as the end of a normal life."

Confiding in Otinus's incomprehensible voice, Zela made it clear to the other party.

"Although it's impossible for me to defeat you now, I think it's okay to protect myself."

She smiled politely and continued her answer.

"The 'infinite possibilities' you have...... Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too perfect, is it? ”

“……”

Hearing the unexpected keyword, this time it was Otinus' turn to be silent.

Then, she quickly seemed to figure out something.

"Orels sent you?"

With a look of 'when did that guy become so timid', Eutinus asked with a grim expression.

After going around in circles, it seems to be back to square one.

The only person in this world who knows her inside so well is the man who was robbed of the throne of the demon god by her.

The one-eyed girl had no doubt about this.

But the facts are still skewed.

"Well, can you get the idea?"

Not minding that this conversation would continue, Zela felt the record of feedback from the 'Astral Dictionary', and withdrew her eyes to look at Eutinus.

"He is the one who stands on the side of 'admonishing' me."

The brown-haired girl said deliberately ambiguously.

“……”

The atmosphere changed in an instant.

Is it.

Otinus moved his lips slightly, presumably saying so.

Suffice it to know this.

The first to sound the alarm is the space.

Rumble!!!!

Suddenly.

Between Zela and Eutinus, there was a terrible and piercing pop.

On an unobservable battlefield, this pop lasted for several seconds before it died down.

It was a collision of energy that was enough to change the terrain of the continent, but the expressions of both sides still did not change much.

Only one thing can be known.

That's where the pop is, and it's been moving in the direction of Zela.

Judgment from above.

“…… You're also a demon god, don't you think it's a loss of identity to do this? ”

I didn't expect Otinus to do it so directly, which made Zela, who was in a hurry, a little uncomfortable.

But she also knew that even if she was prepared, the result would probably not be much better.

"If that's all you have to realize, then you shouldn't have any complaints so far, right?"

"Just knowing that you have a relationship with Aurels makes me have no reason to let you go."

Eutinus' face was as casual as ever, aloof.

She didn't care what the relationship between 'Zela' and 'Orels' was.

Anyway, as long as you know that the two of them have indeed been in contact.

Or does this guy really think she can't see what the 'book' is doing?

As a demon god, she doesn't mind giving her wisdom to mortals, but it's a different matter if she doesn't have her permission.

"And I've become a little interested in you, my 'army of the dead' can't be included in a guy like Orrels who has half a foot in the realm of the demon god, maybe it's still possible."

The demon god laughed wildly, telling of his 'tolerance'.

The military strength of the dead? Just by the name, you know it's not a good place.

I always felt like I was underestimated.

Halting her work for a moment, Zela whispered, replying in a voice that was not rude.

"Thank you for your appreciation, I should have said that I had a way to protect myself."

"Are you still going to resist?"

"Of course."

She has set up three lines of defense, but it doesn't mean that there are only those.

Without looking at Odinus again, Zela raised her head slightly, injecting magic in a certain direction.

"The arrival of 'dusk' is only the beginning of 'night'."

- Hum !!

A corner of the world has lost its original color.

The white sky faded, revealing a magic circle of golden yellow lines and clouds of flame that resembled a painting of brilliant colors.

Earth, Sun, Stars, Moon.

The trajectories of all celestial bodies are now taken into account.

At some point, between the two girls standing here, a golden point of light the size of a human figure dripped down.

The ritual field is in full swing, and the supply of magic power has skyrocketed, becoming the most solid boost.

And then.

From the point of light that began to crack, the white wings that stretched out broke free.

Her blonde hair stretched out.

The energy that slowly converges turns into a woman's body, shining with pure white divine light.

It's time.

Someone said so.

Then.

'She' slowly opened her closed eyes.
