Chapter 86

Laos received a direct hit from the black lightning blowing him clean across the plaza and slamming him into a building before finally stopping .

Laos was now burnt black and slumped on the floor . Objectively, it seemed difficult for him to continue the fight but the next moment he was enveloped in the dazzling light of recovery magic .

Fumu . I thought those four were maintaining <De Igeria> but it seems I was wrong . (Arnos)

<De Igeria> chips away at a mazokus power while enhancing a humans power . Recovery magic is also one of its effects . As long as they dont outright die and stay inside the barrier their wounds will be healed instantly as many times as needed .

In order to maintain the barrier, magic power must be constantly supplied to it . If those 4 were maintaining it then <Jirasudo> would have finished them and broken the barrier .

Other students maintaining the barrier? (Misha)

Looks like it . (Arnos)

Ill look . (Misha)

Misha completed the demon king castle in the city plaza .

Countless ice crystals were growing on the ground and spread throughout the entire city . Ice trees, flowers and buildings had sprung up throughout the entire castle town .

Misha puts a fingertip on the demon king castle and focuses on her demon eyes .

The castle, as well as the ice town she had made, were in a sense a barrier of their own . As such, Mishas magic had permeated the entire area .

With this, shell be able to find the caster so we can neutralise them .

Cant find them . (Misha)

They must be very good to escape Mishas demon eyes .

But I understand . She says in her indifferent tone of voice . Only one of the Jergakanon students can hide from me .

Fumu . As expected of Misha . She probably has the name and face of every Jergakanon student firmly stored away in her head . In other words, the one student she cant find is the caster of the barrier .

Who? (Arnos)

Eleonor . (Misha)

I see . Well, no surprise really after I looked at her origin .

Leave it to me . (Misha)

It will be a tough fight . (Arnos)

Her rank is below Ledorianos but her ability is not necessarily below his .

Look at me . Im branded inept after all .

Do my best . (Misha)

Misha raises her left hand with the ring on and injects magic in the ice town .

The barrier being projected by the demon king castle is now competing with <De Igeria> .

Its quite a sight to see actually .

. . Tch . . what a monster . I might have died without <De Igeria> . (Laos)

The formerly blackened Laos stood up like nothing had happened .

. . Dont get angry . Its a bit unfair that the barrier isnt working despite them being mazoku though . (Heine)

Similarly, Heine stood up from the position hed been blown away to .

. It doesnt matter how strong he is or how many times were knocked down we just keep going until he runs out of steam . (Laos)

Im sorry for you

A girl descends from the sky and stands in front of Laos .

Now that Misha has completed the demon king castle the effects of <De Igiera> are almost completely offset .

But Arnos doesnt need to bother with small fry like you .

Sasha grabs the hem of her dress and curtsies elegantly .

The eldest daughter of the Necron family, directly descended from the old seven demon emperor Aivis Necron, Sasha Necron the witch of ruin at your service . Remember it, for its the name of the one wholl drive you to the edge of despair . (Sasha)

Laos enters his battle stance and holds a fist up .

Haa! Bring it on! Oi Heine, one of the chaos generation has appeared . Im going to play with her a bit so go and meet up with Ledoriano first . (Laos)

Laos talks to Heine via <Liikus>, however, their thoughts spill out .

Thats fine but make it quick otherwise Im going to beat that guy by myself . (Heine)

Isnt that impossible?

Heins eyes sharpen because until just a moment ago there was no one in front of him .

There was no evidence of any magic being used but a white-haired mazoku was suddenly there as if by teleportation .

You cannot beat him . Not by yourself and not with others . Im not sure there is anyone who can beat him .

With his refreshing smile, Ray stands there with the unique sword Sigshesta .

Ohh . Its a black-suited onii-san with a seven-pointed star badge . (Heine)

Heines lips curl up cheerfully .

I know you . One of the chaos generation, the demonic sword saint Ray Grandori right? Its said your swordsmanship is your pride . (Heine)

Im okay but Im better than you . (Ray)

Heines smile freezes in offence .

If thats the case . (Heine)

Heine leaps into motion with his holy sword Zeele gathering magic in its dark green blade .

Block everything from this Zeele!! (Heine)

Heine swings his holy sword down and at that moment it seemed like Rays hand glittered and a flash of light appeared .

Eh . . ? (Heine)

While still holding Zeele, Heines right arm was severed and was now flying through the air .

Heine couldnt even grasp the moment his arm was cut .

With that skill level, your sword is crying . Its such a good sword as well . (Ray)

. Youuu Youre only a subordinate but youre pissing me off!! (Heine)

Heines arm immediately regenerated due to <De Igeria> and he drew a triple gated magic formation at his feet .

I know your weak point demonic sword saint . Youre no good at magic . Your class would be demon swordsman <Cavalier> wouldnt it? Your physical ability is improved so you can probably move faster than me but you cant use any magic you arent familiar with . (Heine)

Thats right . (Ray)

Ray flashes his refreshing smile .

Why are you laughing? You really are pissing me off . Are you stupid? Dont you understand? You have no way of preventing our magic barriers!! (Heine)

Holy water springs out from Heines feet and he absorbs its power .

Earthquake Barrier <Agoras>!! (Heine)

The ground starts shaking unnaturally in a 30-meter radius around Heine .

Its a barrier that resembles an earthquake but its not . It robs mazoku of movement by binding their feet and takes away their power .

Hey, you cant move can you onii-san? Now it doesnt matter how good your sword arm is . (Heine)

In the midst of the seemingly bad earthquake, Heine leisurely walks over to Zeele and picks it up .

Ill show you another good thing . (Heine)

Heine raises his left hand and holy light gathers there before becoming another sword .

Come my other holy sword . Holy earth greatsword Zereo .

Heine holds Zeele in his right hand and Zereo in his left .

Let me teach you something . If any wound thats made by Zereo is also cut by Zeele then that wound becomes a stigmata and recovery magic wont work anymore . Everyone whos wounded like that cries for help . Kyahahahaha (Heine)

Heines face distorts in laughter .

But no matter how much you beg I cant help you because I cant cure stigmatas . (Heine)

Heine casually approaches Ray with his twin swords .

Hey listen . I can use these holy swords the best which is good because otherwise onii-san might have a hard time right? (Heine)

Heine stared at Ray while making fun of him .

It was Heine-kun right? (Ray)

Yes, what of it? (Heine)

I was right after all . Your sword is crying . (Ray)

Sigshesta glitters and Heines left arm is cut off sending Zereo flying off and piercing the ground .

. . Aaah . . Ouch . You How!? (Heine)

Heine jumps back in surprise with his arm regrowing instantly .

. . Howd you do that . . !? (Heine)

Ray takes a step forward with a nonchalant look on his face .

Whats wrong? (Ray)

How are you moving in <Agoras> . . !? You arent even wearing anti-magic . . ! (Heine)

I wondered how you could move freely in <Agoras> . I thought it was probably because of holy power so I decided to use holy power as well . (Ray)

Heines face distorts .

This demon sword is unique in that is changes in response to its users wishes so I tried giving it holy power . Im glad it went well . (Ray)

Holy light overflows from the unique sword .

Ray has become one with his sword and is receiving the benefits from it . Due to that even though hes a mazoku hes not affected by <Agoras> .

Ah, I see . Hmph . But that just makes it a fake holy sword . Can you beat me with that? (Heine)

Lets use the real thing then . (Ray)

Ray picks up the holy earth greatsword Zereo causing Heine to laugh .

Ahahahahaa! What are you doing onii-san? Its a big problem if a mazoku uses a holy sword you know? Your body will be eroded . Didnt you see what happened to that 3rd year with the holy water? Time to finish t . (Heine)

Using Zereo Ray cuts off Heines right arm .

Ugyaaaaaaa!! (Heine)

Heine retreats again holding his wounded arm and screaming .

Why . ? Why . Impossible! (Heine)

Ray follows after the retreating Heine .

Return my holy sword . Return to your true owner!! (Heine)

Holding his hand out Heine called his sword but nothing happened .

His expression is dyed in despair .

Why . . !? (Heine)

It seems that this holy sword likes me . (Ray)

Why dont you return!? Zereo! Oi, are you listening? (Heine)

The holy sword doesnt respond to Heine at all .

Holy swords chose suitable owners and this holy sword has chosen .

No way . . its a lie lie lie . It has to be a lie! Its . . Its a holy sword right . . ? Its not any old holy sword either . Its the holy earth greatsword belonging to Jergakanon . No other heroes apart from me can use it . !! Mazoku definitely cannot use it!! (Heine)

Heine swings Zeele down .

Using Zereo Ray blocks Zeele .

. Wh!? (Heine)

You seem to be lacking in understanding here . Should I teach you how to use holy swords? (Ray)

Ray sticks the holy earth greatsword Zereo in the ground .

Fuu! (Ray)

A flash appears from Zereo thats stuck in the ground and in an instant, a huge area of earth appears as if gouged out and dumped .

Heines body is blown away due to the rapidly rising earth .

Uwaaaa . . !! (Heine)

The ground, stones and even trees attacked Heine as if they had a will of their own . All of them were given power by the holy earth greatsword .

Heine was barely able to prevent it with anti-magic and barriers .

Cmon I didnt know Zereo had this much power (Heine)

Heines eyes show amazement .

Ray sheathed Shigshesta and picked up Zeele that had fallen to the ground .

If you get injured by Zereo and then that same wound gets cut by Zeele it forms a stigmata that magic cant heal . Thats right isnt it? (Ray)

This is impossible . This is completely impossible . How many years do you think I had to train to use two holy swords at the same time!! Why can this mazoku u! (Heine)

Two swords glittered at the same time .

Ugyaaaaaaaaa!!! (Heine)

Stigmatas formed on both of Heines arms that had been cut off .

. . Fu . Fuuuuck Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck . . !! (Heine)

Heine forms magic circles over his stigmatas and attempts to cut them off from the stumps, however, the stigmata dont remain stationary and rapidly expand .

Why!? This is strange . Zereo and Zeele didnt have such power . !! What did you do to my holy swords!? (Heine)

These swords have always had this power you just werent able to master them . (Ray)

Shut up! Shit It shouldnt be like this Why have I lost . . ? I cant lose to a mazokuuuuuuuu!!! (Heine)

Heine puts all his magic power into <Agoras> judging that since Ray had sheathed Shigsheta he would be affected by it again, however, Ray simply stabs both swords into the ground and <Agoras> immediately stops .

This is the correct way to use them . (Ray)

Heines body is skewered by 44 blades .

Uu . . Gyaaaaaaaaaaa . . !!!! (Heine)

A high pitched scream rings out .

The twin swords of Zeele and Zereo had multiplied underground and sprouted 44 blades from the ground .

Every wound changed into a stigmata rendering the healing from <De Igeria> useless .

. . Aaaah . . Help . It hurts . . Aaaaaah . Healing . Why do I look like this? Aaaaaaah . It hurts . !!! (Heine)

Unable to withstand the pain Heine just screams .

Oi . You! I surrender! Heal me quickly! This is just a school test . Dont you think this is too much? (Heine)

Ray gave his refreshing smile to Heines haughty objection .

Unfortunately Im not very good at magic but since youve surrendered I wont interfere while you heal yourself . (Ray)

. . Idiot . I cant!! Ahaaaaaah . It hurts It hurts . help . . Help me . . !! (Heine)

Is it really that painful? Theyre not very big wounds you know? I think theres far more hellish suffering to be had in this world . (Ray)

Where!?

Ray laughs and then smiles .

Who knows . It was a thought that just popped into my head . (Ray)

Turning his back on Heine Ray walks off .

Oi, wait . where are you going!? Help me! Help, help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (Heine)

Heines screams echo throughout the city .
