Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The existence above the Demon King

Year 397 of the Holy Calendar - Seventh Boss Room of the Titan dungeon

(Ifrit POV)

I know this is a reckless move.

Alastor hasn't fully recovered yet and what I'm doing right now could kill both of us in this place...

But, I just can not give Titan to these beings.

While still in Alastor's arms, I grab my partner's right hand with my left hand.

They will never take anything else from me, never.

I...

We...

[We will destroy him!!!]
{We will destroy him!!!}

"What?!!" Hiwatani

I then inject the entirety of my spiritual power into Alastor.

(Esperia POV)

I lost consciousness for a moment...

What?

"What is that?!" Esperia

From a strange column of purple fire, a two-meter-high stack of orange muscles walks out.

A minotaur variant?

No, It isn't something as simple as that.

"Esperia, stand back" Hiwatani

A sun-shaped scar on his chest.

Two large curved horns that reach the middle of his back.

Long red hair and a beard of the same color that completely covers his neck.

"Appraisal" Esperia

I proceeded to use the skill Hiwatani taught me to find out what it is.

{SYSTEM ERROR}

Eh?

Did I use it wrong?

"Appraisal!" Esperia

{SYSTEM ERROR}

What is happening?

"!!!" Esperia

"!!!" Hiwatani

It seems we both got the same mission alert.

-----------

Rank S?

"The... World destruction?" Esperia

-----------

>ACCEPT

>DECLINE

-----------

"Accept!" Hiwatani

He accepts it immediately, but I...

"The True... Demon King?" Esperia

Its strange presence that prevails over the system makes me tremble.

The fire he spreads around his arms makes my body sweat uncontrollably.

I am scared!

"JSHHHHHH!" True Demon king

He barely opens his mouth and steam comes out of it.

"I didn't expect to find post-game content here" Hiwatani

Hiwatani claps his hands and the shield transforms into two gauntlets, he's serious about melee combat!

"You saved me the trouble of looking out for you!" Hiwatani

They disappear from where they were.

"!!!" Esperia

And the sound of the clash reaches me faster than my eyes can follow.

Left!

I turn my head to see the battle.

"UooohHH!!" Hiwatani

"JSSSSSHHHH!!!!!" True Demon king

Their fists clash one after another, and each collision creates a shock wave that almost lifts me from the ground.

That is right! Hiwatani is here!

"Accept!" Esperia

I accept the mission, knowing that the newly born power within my childhood friend knew no bounds.

"You are good, but not good enough" Hiwatani

The four fists meet and come to a standstill in a face-to-face struggle of strength.

"..." Demon king

You are reading story Natives vs Isekai Heroes at novel35.com

Black blood starts to come out of the knuckles of the True Demon king, as expected he is no match for the chosen hero.

"...fhuUUH!" True Demon king

"!!!" Hiwatani

"!!!" Esperia

From the mouth of the demon, White fire is expelled in front of the face of my childhood friend.

"ARGG!!" Hiwatani

"Hiwatani!" Esperia

He jumped away from the fire, leaving behind the armor and clothing that covered his chest.

"IT HURTS!!!" Hiwatani

The lower part of the face and upper torso are reddened and some blisters appear in places.

"I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!" Hiwatani

His eyes turn red and various red markings cover the entirety of his body.

It is coming! I better cover myself!

"Wind dome!"

The chantless style of magic that he taught me will prove itself useful now.

"..." True Demon king

The shield changes to a more diabolical form.

"DARK BURNING WRATH!" Hiwatani

And a huge wave of black fire covering half of the room is summoned against the menace of the world.

It is the end! Nothing can stand in front of that skill!

"HeLl...fIrE" Demon king

"..." Esperia

...

What...

What just happened?

All the fire of the shield skill disappeared at the moment that the True Demon king spoke and now there is only a trail of molten steel on the floor and ceiling and an endless hole in the wall where it leads to.

"Why? Why didn't you die?!" Hiwatani

Hiwatani seems to barely have dodged the True Demon King's attack, but his right leg was caught by it.

"But I still have the advantage" Hiwatani

His leg might be badly burned, but the shield isn't damaged.

"I will subdue you and live my whole life with a harem of cute girls" Hiwatani

I smile at his joking comment.

He has no remedy.

*GRIP*

The sound of the True Demon King strongly closing his fist is heard in all the room...

Did he get angry at my childhood friend?

"Do Your worst!" Hiwatani

He summons his biggest shield and covers his entire body with it.

"JSSSSHHH!!" True Demon king

The menace of the world leaps towards its target.

"!!!" Esperia

I was wrong, he wasn't angry at Hiwatani.

"?" Hiwatani

His anger was directed at me!

"!!!" Hiwatani

Breaking the Wind Dome with ease, the True demon king grabs me from my neck and lifts me from the ground.

"Leave her alo.." Hiwatani

Before he could finish, pain assaults me.

"KYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Esperia

Something akin to thunder hit my whole body, something that caused me pain as I had never felt before.

"???? ?? ?? ?????" Female voice

I hear something and everything goes dark.

(Ifrit POV)

As Alastor blacked out, the Synchro's power begins to wane and won't last much longer.

"Let her go!" Hiwatani

I dodge the Isekai Hero while holding the girl with one hand.

Do you want her? Then go get her!

"!!!" Hiwatani

I throw the girl into the passage that leads to the boss room with all my strength.

"Esperia!" Hiwatani

As he goes after her, I waste no time grabbing the Core of Titan and jumping to the exit door.

...

"..." Synchro form

Meeting the sun I left behind decades ago, there is no time for nostalgia.

I immediately gather all my remaining Synchro strength and jump towards the horizon.

"..." Synchro form

With the Spirit Core of Titan in one hand, and the hope of a newborn strength inside us.

I fly in the sky like a Red Comet to an unknown future in an unknown place.

¨I leave...the...rest...to...yo..u...¨ Ifrit

My consciousness abandons me in midair.
