CHAPTER 125: BATTLE AGAINST THE DEVIL

“I’ll hold the frontline. Graf, you move around and try to break the devil’s defense when you see an opening.” (Aaron)

 

“Yes sir!” (Graf)

 

 

　A brief exchange of words, and then they both spread out.

 

　Aaron takes up a position of vanguard against the devil.

 

　Though the devil turned its attention to Graf, who was moving around.

 

 

“Your opponent is me.” (Aaron)

 

 

 

　[Bind] was applied to its whole body.

 

　The devil’s body was sealed.

 

　Then a piercing glare!

 

 

“Do not get in my way.”

 

 

　As if to say so, the devil glared at Aaron.

 

　A strong killing intent sent a shiver down his spine.

 

 

　A moment later.

 

　The devil swung its tentacles down.

 

 

　He parried it just in time.

 

　His bones creaked and a dull pain shot through his body.

 

　Aaron endured the pain and was able to parry the attack.

 

 

“Respond to my desire, muscles! [Muscle Punch]!!” (Graf)

 

 

　A flash of light.

 

　A shockwave shook its body.

 

　Graf’s fist blasted the devil away.

 

 

　—Zuun!!

 

 

　The devil’s massive body makes the ground tremble.

 

 

“Ah… Haha……” (Aaron)

 

 

　A former C-rank adventurer smack the devil to the dirt. A dry laugh escaped Aaron’s mouth in front of the unbelievable scene.

 

　The one thing that Graf used was non-attribute magic that converts magic power into muscle strength.

 

 

It is similar to the [Body Enhancement – Might Force], but its output is levels of magnitude greater.

 

　Aaron does not know this magic. It is probably Graf’s original magic.

 

 

(But I didn’t expect him to be this good.) (Aaron)

 

 

 

　Aaron just revised his evaluation on Graf, but it seems that Aaron’s evaluation was still too low.

 

 

“I think I’ll change my job to a bard when this battle is over. I’m sure I could earn a lot of money if I were to describe the spectacle of a former C-rank adventurer beating up a devil, and it would be easier than being a Guild Master—” (Aaron)

 

“Master, it’s coming!” (Marie)

 

“—!” (Aaron)

 

 

　Aaron immediately left the scene.

 

　The next moment, the devil twisted its body.

 

　Just like that, the houses in the surrounding area were shook and collapsed.

 

　If the reaction had been delayed even slightly, Aaron would have suffered the same fate as the houses.

 

 

“Hahaha, I am even surprised by Marie’s sharp eyesight.” (Aaron)

 

 

　He wiped away the fear he felt with a joke.

 

　The devil that got up showed no signs of injury. Graf’s amazing attack didn’t seem to hurt it much.

 

 

(How are we supposed to beat this creature?) (Aaron)

 

 

　The devil’s hardness almost crushes Aaron to despair.

 

　However, he changed his mind and readied his sword.

 

 

(Even if our attacks don’t work, if only Lily’s magic is complete, we can end this fight…) (Aaron)

 

 

　They can end this battle.

 

　With hope in his heart, Aaron confronts the devil.

 

 

[Bind], dodge, parry.

 

　Feint, retreat—

 

 

“—[Muscle Punch]!!!” (Graf)

 

 

　Graf attacks from behind the devil with full force.

 

　It is a complete surprise attack.

 

　However, unlike the last time, the devil stayed on its feet.

 

 

“—!” (Graf)

 

 

　Graf immediately retreats.

 

　The next moment, a tentacle fell where Graf was.

 

 

　—Zuun!!!

 

 

　The violent ground shaking made my heart tremble.

　If I had eaten that, I’m sure Graf would have been minced.

 

 

 

(Still not enough.) (AAron)

 

 

　Aaron stepped forward to prevent Graf getting pursued by the devil.

 

 

(Is the magic still not complete!?) (Aaron)

 

 

　While distracting the devil, Aaron is getting impatient.

 

　He is approaching the limit of his physical strength. It is the same for Graf.

 

 

　He is already over forty. No matter how much he trains, he cannot move as he did when he was younger. It is only a matter of time before they take an attack from the devil.

 

 

　Aron was getting impatient, and that’s when it happened.

 

 

“—retreat!” (Lily)

 

 

　Lily’s voice came from behind.

 

　The next moment,

 

 

 

“[Bind]!” (Aaron)

 

 

 

　Aaron sealed the devil into place with all his magical power.

 

　As soon as the magic was activated, he retreated. He kept as much distance from the devil as he could.

 

 

 

 

　After confirming Aaron and Graf’s retreat, Lily pushed her staff up into the sky.

 

 

“I wish—

 

　Transcend the infinite time, illuminate the darkness, to expose the unknown, and to pierce the underworld.

 

　To the foolish ones who are tainted with evil, who have done evil, and who have fallen into darkness.

 

　Let the power of the Supreme Light strike down the hammer of wrath from the heavens!” (Lily)

 

 

 

　—[Holy Rain]!

 

 

　The moment it was activated, the world was flooded with light.

 

　In the midst of the pure white scene, a huge amount of powerful magic power poured down from the heavens.

 

　Lily further manipulated it.

 

 

“—[Single Point Fusion – Convergence]!” (Lily)

 

 

 

　Countless lights falling from the heavens were concentrated into a single point. [Holy Rain], which had been a wide range annihilation magic, was transformed into a more powerful individual specialized annihilation magic.

 

 

　—Zuun!!

 

 

　The magic hit the center of the devil, without missing its target. An extraordinary force crushes the devil.

 

　With a jerk. Lily’s vision shifts. Due to the enormous amount of magic power released, the symptoms of magic power depletion appeared early.

 

 

(……is it?) (Lily)

 

 

　Leaning on her staff, Lily observes the devil.

 

　The surrounding buildings where the magic fell was shattered. The surrounding area alone suffered a direct hit from the magic that caused this much damage. Even though it was a devil, it was not going to brush it off.

 

 

　The dust slowly clears up.

 

 

 

“Eh……?” (Lily)

 

 

　Contrary to Lily’s expectations, the figure of an uninjured devil appeared.

 

 

(Uninjured? Impossible!) (Lily)

 

(Magic doesn’t work!?) (Lily)

 

 

　Lily forgets to breathe and just stands there stunned.

 

　Hopelessness gripped her heart.

 

 

　—it’s hopeless.

 

 

　She can’t unleash any more magic. She just felt like giving up. Just as she was about to give up, Lily’s eyes caught the slightest change.

 

　A faint smoke was rising from the devil’s body hair.

 

 

“The devil’s barrier has been removed! Lily, can you do another shot?” (Aaron)

 

“—!” (Lily)

 

 

　Aron’s words brought Lily back to her senses.

 

　The reason why it was able to take on her magic was not because her opponent’s resistance was so high. It was because of the special barrier around the devil.

 

 

　Her heart, which had almost given up, started to move again. However, Lily had very little magic power left. Even if she could release another, it would only be a single shot of intermediate-level magic.

 

　But even so, that doesn’t mean she can’t do anything.

 

 

(It can be defeated.) (Lily)

 

(As long as I don’t give up.) (Lily)

 

(I will destroy this devil!) (Lily)

 

 

　Lily clenched her back teeth and increased her magical power.

 

　Clap, clap, clap. She heard clapping.

 

 

“Well, everyone, you all worked together wonderfully.” (Voice)
