Chapter 16

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Sashas scream rang out through the Though Transmission <Liikus> .

Fumu . Have I gone too easy on them? Theres less impact than I thought and the castle has stuck in the ground in only a semi-ruined state .

They can still fight it appears but how will they get out?

As I slowly walk towards the Demon King castle Im still hearing voices from Thought Transmission .

. . Ill use Flame Prison Annihilation Cannon <Geo Greys> .

Hou . She just said something interesting .

Bu, but Sasha-sama . With the castle in this state even if you use all the magic power from the sorceress [mages] the success rate for <Geo Greys> is less than 20%!

If it fails the castle will collapse!

Dont lose your nerve! Recognise the power of our enemy . Hes a mongrel and carries the mark of the inept but hes a monster! He threw a castle . Do you think halfhearted magics will work on him?

The members uttering complaints fell silent at Sashas voice .

As I thought, shes got quite the charisma . Though shes still immature its a shame to keep her as an enemy .

The highest level of flame magic is Flame Prison Annihilation Cannon <Geo Greys> . Anything less will not defeat Arnos Voldigod .

No one else voices an objection . A subtle flow of magic power begins flowing through <Liikus> which tells me what their decision is .

The enemy side is one person and we have 20 people! We can avoid the shame of loss with this . Do your best and face death . Show that mongrel the best magic of your lives and the pride of royalty!

Roger that! all the members shout out in one voice .

Magic particles begin to rise from the Demon King castle and a three-dimensional magic formation appears . The Demon King castle itself is turned into a huge magical focus .

Seven Castle Lords [Guardians] are building a spell formation thats hard to construct . In order to maintain it, 10 Sorcerers [Mages] are pouring all their magic power into it and the two remaining Shamans will be responsible for aiming it .

Sasha Necron is at the centre of it all, organising the various magics to make it work .

Shes worthy of her name the Witch of Ruin . Shes got a rare talent .

Even though shes borrowing her colleagues power it is not easy to develop such a large scale magic .

Unlike origin magic that provides enormous power but with an attached risk, the highest level of flame magic <Geo Greys> is a technique that can only be used by those with the skill and power .

Its impossible with Sashas power alone but after training to use Demon King Army <Guys> for a week shes now at a level where she could actually use it in a real war .

Are you all prepared? All your power and all your feelings . Leave them to me .

Yes .

I believe in you Sasha-sama .

Please use all my power .

Lets win . .

We have the power of royalty .

20 peoples feelings and power all converge on a single point .

This is the true meaning of Demon King Army <Guys> .

Taking advantage of each class characteristic . A group magic that adds extra magic power . It increases it by a factor of 10 .

Even against a higher class opponent, you will be able to retaliate .

The air itself strummed as if under tension .

In the next moment, Sasha yells out .

Gooooooo!! <Geo Greeeeeeeeys>!!

The magic formation hangs above the castle and takes on a gunport type shape, Magical power concentrates in its centre .

The magic power concentrates to its utmost then explodes in one go . A comet that looks like a black sun shoots at me .

Fumu . For something that only had a 20% chance of working everythings gone well for them so far .

How splendid . Let me give you a reward .

To attack <Geo Greys> I hold my hand up to it and a magic formation appears along with a small red flame .

Thinking about it, this is my first time using attack magic in this era .

Go .

The small flame that I fired collides with <Geo Greys> and in the next moment, a hole appears in the jet black sun . From the hole, a red flame rapidly wraps up the black sun and devours it .

It only took an instant but the huge <Geo Greys> was burnt without a trace .

. No way . . <Geo Greys> was cancelled

Sa, Sasha-sama! It wasnt cancelled! The other sides <Geo Greys> is heading for us!

The flame that I had fired plunged deeply into the castle and burst open . The castle is soon wrapped up in flames and burns down causing the walls and ceilings to collapse with a noisy rattle .

It collapsed almost instantly .

Sasha had a narrow escape . She escaped from the castle using Flight <Fres> while carrying two Sorcerers [Mages] .

Is her magic running low? She unintentionally made an unsteady emergency landing right in front of me .

. . Impossible . all by yourself you can cast <Geo Greys>? .

Fumu . In the age of myths, it was natural to use <Geo Greys> by yourself . Not that I can point that out here .

Ive only got one thing to say now .

You saw how I cast it . What I used was not <Geo Greys> .

. . Eh?

Sashas eye widen in surprise

But there shouldnt be anything above <Geo Greys> . one of the [Mages] protested

No waypossibly . origin magic!? A taboo spell that threatens even royalty! In that case, no wonder <Geo Greys> was destroyed!

Yare yare . They dont get it at all .

Im sorry to disappoint you but it wasnt origin magic either .

Sasha just quietly stares at me .

It was Flame <Grega> .

Wha . . Grega . . ?

Flame magic is ranked in order of power from the strongest first . Flame Prison Annihilation Cannon <Geo Greys>, Scorching Black Flame <Griado>, Demon Blaze <Guresode>, Grand Flame <Gusgam> andFlame <Grega> .

. . No waywith the lowest level of flame magic . our . . Sasha-samas <Geo Greys> was burnt down and our Demon King castle . . !

Hopeless voices break out .

Impossible! Such a thing is impossible! There must be some secret . An evolved <Grega>!

Ive got nothing to hide so Ill teach them a bit .

The secret is the difference in our magic powers . That was the only thing different between you, me and the other 20 people .

The [Mages] head shook like it has been kicked .

. . What . did . you . say .

Such a thing

Its not an odd story or anything . If there are differences in magic power then <Gusgam> could beat <Guresode> for example . However, if the difference in magic power is huge enough then this is what happens .

As I finish speaking I take one step forward and the [Mages] begin to tremble all over .

They are crushed by despair and lose the will to fight completely causing them to lose consciousness .

I carry on walking over to Sasha .

. . Far superiormonster

A mutter reaches my ears from behind .

Do you remember our promise? I ask Sasha .

Biting her lip Sasha looks at me with a humiliated expression .

Why didnt you kill me?

Even if she says that its not like we were really at war or something .

Its not necessary to kill my classmates . Besides, its a pain to have to revive people all the time .

You have potential . It would be a shame to kill you .

I hold my hand out to Sasha .

Join me as a subordinate .

After thinking for a while Sasha reaches out to take my hand with no hesitation or fear .

Just before she takes it she glares at me and activates her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> hitting me with their full strength .

Die!!

I refuse .

I stare straight into Sashas <Demon Eyes of Ruin> .

Then kill me!

I refuse .

I hold out my hand to her again .

How stubborn . Its fine though . Join me as a subordinate .

. Such humiliation . Ill never forget this . Someday Ill be stronger and when I am I definitely kill you

I laughed .

Let me tell you something, Sasha . If the end of killing someone was only death then Id have died 2000 years ago .

Sasha looked taken aback and then seemed to give up .

Weird mongrel she sighed .

Fine . The present me cannot match you and besides, due to <Sekt> I cannot go against you anyway .

After making up an excuse Sasha demurely put the tips of her fingers on my hand .

However, please remember this . This is a contract . I do not remember selling you my heart .

Aah . My best regards .

Sasha stared at me in wonder as I started laughing .

Nee . I want to hear it once more .

Whats that?

Did you invite me because of that girl?

Well yeah . Im hoping you both get along . It would make Misha happy .

I see . Hmph .

She doesnt seem bothered and lost interest in me .

Aah, there was one more reason .

Whats that?

Your demon eyes are beautiful .

Sashas face was immediately dyed bright red .

She turns around and tries to run away .

Im telling the truth . I have never seen such beautiful demon eyes .

Even during the age of myths I never saw anyone with such pure, calm and undefiled eyes like hers .

If my eyes are to be trusted then she has great untapped magical power and talent .

Well, at the moment shes still too immature though .

Are you listening? I ask Sasha whos facing the other way . She turns to face me again .

. I didnt hear it . . idiot . . !!

Is she shy? I was only trying to praise her . (1)
