The Great Ancient Wizard, Contact with the Unknown (6)
“If you just surrender, I’ll kill you neatly!”
“Hmmmm! Hmmmph!”
The Demon Realm was evidently desperate. Everything that happened in this land was nothing more than a feast of tricks for the sake of the Devil to watch and enjoy. The struggle must not be stopped to catch his eye. Violence was the only condition for his blessing.
―Arghhhhhhh!!
There were times when the Demons sincerely believed in such. But those who were here now wouldn’t dare say such nonsense. It was despair piled upon despair, Demons above Demons, and violence above violence. It was unfolding at the site of the Demons.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Every time Elizabeth swung the Morningstar vigorously, hundreds of meters of land and atmosphere were shaken. Her powers to amplify, the rune of giants, the rune of primitive violence and disaster. The rune of Thurisaz was such a rune. There was no rune more suited for her, who wanted to grow up quickly and stand side by side with her brother.
“Germs are bad! We have to get rid of all of them!”
“Huh! Yap!”
Eir’s movements weren’t that dynamic. When Elizabeth wielded the Morningstar and destroyed the area, Eir only fired her gun, chasing after her with a gentle look. But the result was worse than Elizabeth’s.
“Here! Oh, there! Elemental Charge!”
―Whoo!
―Kuooo!
If Elizabeth’s Morning Star was close to a giant appearing and sweeping away everything, the spirit bullets fired by Eir was a human army that was ground entirely through the fields that the giant had been struggling through. Accurate and deadly bullets flew in nonstop, penetrating the live Mahwa spores and breathing Mahwa infected. Even the bullets were equipped with the viciousness of tracking the spirits of the Mahwa and didn’t stop attacking until the Mahwa Tribe disappeared.
―How could there be such demons…!?
―We’ve been haunted by our weaknesses, no way!
―Her Majesty, she must be protected!
A group of young, female-type Demons, consisting of only two, was in line to the heart of the Mahwa Queen. Those who looked down on them and tried to transmit them spores fell at once. Next, the Mahwa Tribe infected, which gained a strong body and evolved their abilities, went out and tried to deal with them, but they didn’t last long. The invaders weren’t only substantial, but somehow, they had chosen only deadly attacks on them. Of course, that’s because Rose, who had more accurate data than Evan, was with them.
―Your Majesty!
―For the future of the Mahwa Tribes, we must take them to a safe place!
―Kkkkk, I was about to swallow the Demon Realm!
The Mahwa Tribes, who had appeared in high spirits, were all retreating now. Elizabeth, however, wasn’t generous enough to easily miss the germs before her eyes.
“Leap!”
She then jumped into the air, picked up a Morningstar, and invoked the rune to make the mace 100 times larger at the end quickly. Then, she hit it as hard as she could on the ground!
“Those crazy things!”
Rose was frightened and set up a shield for Eir. But to begin with, it was a pointless worry. The Morningstar, which hit the ground, caused a magic explosion with a terrible earthquake, demolishing the group of Mahwa without a trace, but surprisingly, it had little impact on Eir. This was the power of the destroyer to select and destroy only what she wanted.

“Hehe, I’m coming again!”
“…Maybe that’s the Devil?”
Rose muttered that unconsciously when she saw Elizabeth lifting the Morningstar from the air and hitting the ground again. In any case, nearly 90 percent of the Mahwa Tribes’ elite who had just survived Elizabeth’s first attack were killed. Rose started remembering receiving similar reports in the past…
“Yes, I can feel it now. Baby, let’s go.”
Rose felt her scent coming from far away and sighed as she led Eir. Would she be able to save her past self from that horrible girl? She wasn’t sure yet. Because she was so worried, it took a while for her to realize that there were other invaders in the area of the Mahwa Tribe.

“The right arm of the Devil? What about the left arm?
“That’s Serena for us. Of course, that’s a lie.”
“There’s none? No left arm?”
“…Do you believe that?”
On the back of Gnar, they were on their way to the northeast of the Silk Line, where it was claimed that the sealed right arm of the demon appeared. Shine responded sternly to Serena, who asked him about the different body parts of the Devil.
“It’s a little bit strange to say, but the people of this country have never fought against the Demon King. Even if the Devil’s right arm appears, it can’t be recognized.”
The reason why they failed to fight against the knights of the Silk Line, soldiers, and the forces led by Demon King was that Evan blocked the possibility in advance.
“I’m still a princess in this country…well, our country is indeed weak.”
Mirole was sitting on the dragon flying through the sky.
“Mirole, can you tell me if you know anything?”
Arisha looked back at her and asked. These days, Arisha and Mirole didn’t get along very well. Compared to other traitors, she was like a fairy.
“I don’t remember the moment very well, either. It was that kind of magic. But….”
Mirole said with a slightly bitter look as if she anticipated something.
“If the Devil’s right arm appeared, it wouldn’t be too far away.”
“Don’t tell me that its left arm, leg, torso, and head will appear in succession, and it will be united, will it?”
Then, the game would end without a chance to resist!
“Wow, I want to see that!”
“Your Highness Serena, we don’t have Master Evan around us right now, so don’t say such ominous words.”
“Well, whatever it is, I can’t say anything without checking with anyone today.”
The moment after Mirole said so, suddenly, a black flame shot up into the sky toward them!
―Kuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Gnar immediately opened his mouth and fired his breath. Gnar’s breath had grown beyond the limits of the Dragon race due to Serena’s ability, stretching straight like a laser beam to collide with the black flames that were pouring in on them. The impact caused an explosion.
― Qwoo!?
Gnar let out a startled noise.
“You are the right arm,” Mirole declared calmly. She had already taken out her armor, Blue Wind, and was shooting arrows.
“You are the arm…!”
“That’s already the same size as Gnar.”
“Wow…”
The group set sail from the head of Gnar, looking down at the remote ground. It was hard to miss due to its sheer size. There were sinkholes over a vast area of the ground with massive, huge black arms that came out of them! The arms were spreading their palms toward their exact direction, and the Dark Magic remaining in them wasn’t the size that humans dared to deal with.
“We’re screwed; I should have brought Raihan!”
Shine mumbled, frowning. The Astray Knights’ strong shield, Raihan Drukas, was taking maternity leave and caring for his wife at home. They left him out because they thought the Silk Line palace might have exaggerated it even if an arm of the Devil showed up, but they didn’t expect such a threat to come out!
“It’s okay. We can stop it.”
Unlike Shine, who was agitated, Belois remained calm. Whenever she faced enemies that were from the Spirit World, she always had a question. And now she was convinced by the vast Dark Magic arm rising from the earth.
“This seal, a witch is involved.”
“Witch?”
“Suddenly, what witch?”
“I’m sure. It’s a trace of a witch’s ability…”
Belois smiled confidently and made a magic circle in the air. Her magic, which turned purple since the day she was presented with something very precious by Evan, drew a delicate and strange curve in the air. It quickly established a formula for defense and the interpretation of magic.
―Buyububbubbub
The right arm made of Dark Magic gave off a bizarre vibrating sound and threw a flame again. This time, however, Belois’ magic, without the need for Gnar to step up, prevented the flame. As soon as the black flame was blocked by the barrier, Belois carefully observed the change in the magic structure and drew a line again.
“Everyone, attack now. I’ll seal it up.”
“Is that possible?”
“Of course, I just figured it out.”
“…I don’t know what she’s talking about anymore.”
“I’ve been waiting.”
As soon as Belois was done speaking, Mirole fired an arrow. The spirit’s arrow, which chilled the viewer’s eyes, went straight and stitched the Devil’s arm on the ground, distorting the surrounding energy.
“Now!”
Starting with that, the members who could attack from long distances poured out a full-fledged attack on the arm on the ground, and Shine and other close-range attackers jumped with their teeth clenched.
“Make a good shot and step back!”

“Ahhhhhh, Leadeeeeeeeeer!”
“The leader has gone to the New World!”
The heavy rain of attacks far beyond the limits of the human world forced the Devil’s arm to shrink. A close-up attack by the Astray members!
A terrible sound rang out as the Devil’s arm, which had crawled above the ground.
“Wow, this is a real Devil, damn it!”
“The Dark Magic…ewwwwwwwww…”
[I can’t help it, everyone, leave it to me!]
Christina, who stretched out from Shine’s shadow, tied all the shadows of the close combatants and threw them onto Gnar’s back. It was as if fish were being weaved up with a net, but the distance was spectacular.
“Nice, Tina!”
[This is just basic. Are you going to kiss me?]
“Good job, stupid Shine.”
Belois extended her hands in praise of Shine. The Dragon Orb, which came up in front of her chest, threw up a harsh light and wove her purple magic into a magic shackle.
“Get in there!”
The purple shackles surrounded the Devil’s arm by Belois’s fierce command. At that moment, unusual magic erupted from the bottom of the sinkhole. It harmonized with Belois’s magic and pulled the Devil’s arm down and down.
―Vuvubububbubbubbubbubbubbubb
The Devil’s arm stuttered through the air and resisted, but Belois’s magic wasn’t weak enough to be overpowered by shrinking magic.
“Ha!”
When she added magic by utilizing the other magic stones she had, the shackles doubled instantly and threw the arm underground. The Devil’s arm was buried underground with a couple of terrible shocks, but it was soon quiet, and there was nothing left. The sinkhole, which had been profound on the ground, disappeared as if it hadn’t been there from the beginning. It was such a perfect seal that even as she looked at it with her own eyes, the previous encounter might have been mistaken for a daydream.
“Belois…that’s amazing.”
“It’s all thanks to you. And maybe…I don’t think I’m the only witch who benefited from you.”
Belois smiled slightly as she looked down at the ground where there was no trace of Dark Magic. The surviving humans on the ground were seen looking up and waving, but the party didn’t feel the need to descend. Even if they did, they would be called to the palace for no reason or be given a plaque of appreciation by the king. For the party now, the fact that the right arm, which was considered the Devil, appeared separately was more important than such a trivial matter.
“Will this often happen in the future?”
“I don’t know how often, but it’ll happen more. It’s getting closer to liberation. The same is true of the cracks in the Spirit Realm.”
“What the hell did you do with the seal?”
“Wrong, Shine.”
Belois shook her head as if she were sorry for Shine, who hadn’t yet understood the situation.
“The seal was due from the beginning.”
“What…?”
“Anyway.”
Belois murmured, reflecting on some familiar energy she felt from sealing the Devil’s arm.
“I’ll have to check on the Devil.”
