TN: Damn this chapter is long. Also, this is my first time translating a full-on battle scene. I hope it’s easy to understand.

Enjoy♪.

Back to square one, the distance between me and Phoenix opens up again.

“If magic attack doesn’t work, I’ll go for the flesh-and-blood battle this time!”

Phoenix’s fists and feet were covered with flames, and it drew a black trail on the grassy ground and rushed in.

Her whole body must have been strengthened with mana.

The speed of its initial speed to top speed was extraordinary.

It allowed her to get close to me almost in the blink of an eye.

“Tsk!”

A click of the tongue escaped my lips.

The first is a fist thrust, the second is a back fist, and the third is a spinning kick using the centrifugal force of rotation.

The movements of Phoenix, who was supposed to be using a human body for mimicry, proved expert.

“HAHAHA! You’re just running away and can’t do anything about it?”

“Kuu!”

If I got hit, not only the physical damage from the fists, but I’ll also be burned by the high-heat flames.

It’s a troublesome and nasty attack.

But,

“That’s the extent of your physical skills!”

“Wha!!”

I evade the phoenix’s fist and slap up the part of her arm that isn’t on fire.

This caused her torso to open up.

I quickly slammed my fist into the unprotected abdomen.

“!!”

However, Phoenix quickly blocked my attack by interposing her arm between her fist and her abdomen.

Even so, the impact sent her body flying, and she fell to the ground, bouncing several times.

“*Cough, cough*… Now you’ve done it!”

Phoenix looked up when she got dirty and immediately stood up.

Her fighting spirit still hasn’t waned, and she glares at me with her sharp eyes.

“I won’t show you any more mercy!”

Phoenix raises her hands above her head.

A huge magic circle appeared at Phoenix’s feet, and firebombs began to fly around her.

At the same time, Phoenix’s body sparked, and her mana swelled rapidly.

“I’m going to use this magic to end this all at once! Prepare yourself!”

The density of the mana was tremendous.

It’s not as powerful as the magic Demiurge used in the past, but it’s definitely powerful enough to blow up this whole area.

In the worst-case scenario, Demiurge might be caught in the crossfire.

“HAHAHA, all of it, ALL OF IT, I’LL BLOW YOU AWAY!”

Ah, she’s completely pissed off.

If this continues, the Demiurge will really be affected.

If it was just me, I might be able to outrun that magic, but with the Demiurge now…

“That idiot… got blood on her head and lost control…”

Phoenix didn’t realize that if she continue her spell, Demiurge would be caught up in the attack.

All she seems to be thinking about is how to kill me.

What to do…

It’s dangerous to allow magic like this, but it’s also not a good idea to interfere with such a dense concentration of mana.

The worst that could happen is that the mana would explode out of control.

After all, if I let her cast a spell and sabotage it in the process, there’s a risk of a huge explosion in the end.

What should I do…

“Husband, how long are you going to play around? As long as you share your soul with me, you can use some of my power! Let’s get this over with!”

“Ah!”

I see. I’m now one with Demiurge.

If I can use the power that Demiurge has, then maybe I can use that too…

I can’t be sure, but I had a feeling that I could use it.

It’s worth a try.

And, in order to get rid of this situation, I have to do it.

“~~~~! I’m jealous, jealous, jealous that you get encouragement from Demiurge-sama! I will definitely kill you!”

Phoenix, her eyes bloodshot, is about to complete her magic.

A huge fireball was forming above her head, emitting an intense heatwave.

It is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a small sun.

“Come! Vaporize that filthy soul!―――【 Sol Explode 】!”

At last, Phoenix’s magic is complete, and the sun is falling.

Its speed is not fast.

But if it hits the ground, it will cause a tremendous explosion.

There is probably no way to escape its area of effect.

Unless you can use instantaneous movement magic.

Even so, with that speed, it’s enough to kill the opponent.

Having judged this, I started running towards Demiurge at the same time as I activated my magic.

I turned my legs, which had been strengthened to the extreme by mana, with all my might and ran to Demiurge.

At the same time, I focused my attention.

I called out to the being… that was supposed to be inside my body.

Come…

“Mu? Husband, why are you running towards me?”

In this situation, I need your help if I’m going to make sure no one else dies.

So answer my call…

“Hey, you! What are you doing running towards Demiurge-sama? Aah! There’s magic in there! Don’t go, don’t go, get away from me, you idiot~~~~!”

My power alone can only protect Demiurge.

That magic will surely hit Phoenix herself.

If that happens, no matter how powerful the four demons are, they won’t be able to survive.

Worst case scenario, she’ll die.

That’s no good.

She may be hostile to me, but she’s like family, created by Demiurge.

I’d like to protect her from that, if I can.

So… come to me…―――! ‡

《…Your will.》‡

“―――!? Demiurge! Stay low!”

“Mu? Is that it?”

As I raised my voice, Demiurge squatted down.

I mean, with the oversized magic coming at her, her expression barely changed.

What courage.

However, I was saved in this case.

If she makes a bad move, I can’t protect her.

“Wait?! You can’t interrupt the magic now! If you go that way, Demiurge-sama will get involved!”

You know~~~……

There are so many things I want to say to you, but I can’t right now.

I mean, both Demiurge and Phoenix… They need to be by my side before the sun hits the ground.

Otherwise, I can’t save either of them.

But for that, I’m ready!

“―――!!”

I had only a few moments left before the sun hit the ground, and as I ran, I shouted out.

“Answer my call and descend here and now…―――【 Deus Maquina 】!!” ‡

“Eh? Uwaaa?!”

Immediately, a huge amount of mana converged around Phoenix, and a magic circle unfolded.

A two-meter tall golem made of gears came out of it.

“Is this Demiurge-sama Demise Emperor? Eh?! Why a human?!”

The Gear Golem, which had just appeared in front of her, unleashed magic that made Phoenix stiffen, and when it lifted her up, she…

“Hey, get off me! HEY!”

Phoenix goes wild. However, her body is unable to move due to the recoil of the great magic, and she is unable to resist.

I issue a loud command to the Demise Emperor―――【 Deus 】who is holding Phoenix.

“Deus! Keep that idiot in your grasp and jump to Demiurge!”

《…Your will.》

“Kyaaa!”

Then Deus, with Phoenix in its arms, shows off its ridiculous jumping power and quickly arrives at Demiurge.

The Demise Emperor, having completed its task, disappeared as if were melting into thin air.

But Phoenix that was being held falls to the ground because of it.

“Fugyaa!”

“Fumu… you summoned him. I’m so proud of you for instantly manifesting it. Fufufu…”

“De-Demiurge-sama! Hu-, the human, the human with Demise Emperor!”

“Don’t make a fuss, Phoenix. I’ll explain everything later.”

“Eh?”

I shouted at Demiurge and Phoenix, who were having a carefree conversation.

“Hey, you two! Don’t move!”

“Mu?”

“Huh?”

The moment I spoke out, the sun finally made contact with the ground behind me.

Instantly, a torrent of scorching heat swallowed up my entire field of vision.

However, I turned around so that my back is to Demiurge, stretched my hands straight out, and deployed a magic circle.

In the face of the oncoming explosion, I

“―――Barrier… Open!”

I activated【 Magic Barrier 】that Demiurge once used.

Its shape is spherical.

A round, bluish membrane completely covered me and the Demiurge.

“Wha?! Th-This magic? Demiurge-sama’s magic barrier?! EHHH?!”

Almost simultaneously with the activation, a blast and heatwave hit the barrier.

I could feel the tremendous impact on my arms.

“Kuuhh… oooooOOOOOO!!”

I put all the mana in my body into the barrier and survived the explosion.

As the thick smoke cleared, I saw a horrible scene.

Except for the ground where we were standing, it was almost completely black.

In addition, some parts of the explosion center had turned to glass due to the intense heat.

It was frightening to think how much heat had burned the ground.

But somehow, I managed to prevent that vicious magic.

I was relieved to know that from the bottom of my heart.

But……

“Aah! Hey, human! What the hell was that? Why are you able to use Demiurge-sama’s magic barrier! And that’s not all! You even summoned the Demise Emperor! What the hell is wrong with you?”

“…………”

I was quite angry at this bird girl for making such a fuss.

After all, with magic that magnitude, one must be able to imagine in advance the extent of the damage it would cause.

She had failed to do so, and not only Demiurge, but even herself had fallen into the magic’s area of effect.

However, she didn’t show any sign of regret.

“Answer me! How did you use the magic you just used?!”

Oh, by the way, Demiurge didn’t tell Phoenix that she and I are sharing life now.

Well, I guess even that doesn’t matter now.

More like,

“Answer me quickly! And something ridiculous about Demiurge-sama sharing your life with you…”

“You’re the one who’s outrageous, you dumb―――!!”

“Gyafun!”

I interrupted Phoenix’s bird-like chirping and slammed my fist down on her brain.

The fist struck Phoenix, and she squirmed, holding her head, tears welling in her eyes.

“Wh-What all of a sudden… Gyaann!”

I dropped another fist on Phoenix, who was glaring at me with tears in her eyes.

“~~~~~~~.”

“U-Umu… That looks pretty painful.”

Demiurge, who had been watching the exchange between me and Phoenix, muttered to herself, stunned.

Moreover, she put her hand on his head and frowned.

She seemed to have imagined the pain.

“Phoenix, are you stupid? Are you an idiot? Or are you just being stupid?” ‡

“Wh-Why did you say stupid twice…? Guffaw.”

She argued back, so I gave her another fist bump.

“Listen to me! That magic is too powerful! Look at the devastation!”

The ground was burned, blackened, and vitrified.

As far as I can see, this area is quite large.

“And you! You didn’t think that Demiurge or you would be caught within the area of effect!”

“Oh.”

Th-This fellow…

Looks like she only just realized it when I told her.

She’s a real idiot.

And after this, I continued to lecture Phoenix for a while.

I made her sit on the floor in the way they call seiza in Touka’s hometown, and ignoring her whining that her legs were getting numb, I continued to lecture her for the stupid things she had done.

It was almost dark when the sermon was over, and by that time, Phoenix was like an empty shell with no soul.

This was the end of the game between Phoenix and me.
