Chapter 120

In the forest, Sasha and Misa are confronting the 2000 yeard old Mazoku under the commanded of the dark king Ejes Code .

“Okay, now then—” (Linka)

Linka pulls a large transparent sword out of the ground and carries it on her shoulder before pus.h.i.+ng away from the ground so strongly she leaves a footprint in the earth .

With a burst of speed, she rapidly closed in on them .

“Let’s fight!” (Linka)

Sasha turns her demon eyes of ruin on the sword . No matter if it was from the age of myths with her current power she should be able to destroy its magic but the next moment Sasha couldn’t believe her eyes . The sword that was already transparent turned even more transparent then disappeared .

No matter how hard she looked she could not see the sword with her demon eyes .

Linka for her part swings what appeared to only be a handle sideways at Sasha .

“Ice s.h.i.+eld . ” (Misha)

Misha points with a finger and uses

.

Her instantly constructed ice s.h.i.+eld was cut by the invisible sword .

Misha instantly builds a new ice s.h.i.+eld but Linka’s sword is too fast cutting through the ice s.h.i.+elded and slas.h.i.+ng Sasha .

Sasha drops to one knee blood gus.h.i.+ng from her chest .

“Too shallow?” (Linka)

Due to how the s.h.i.+eld had been cut the angle of the sword slash could be inferred allowing Sahsa to dodge and avoid a fatal injury .

Sasha is covered in the flames as the

instantly healing her wound .

“Fall back . ” (Misha)

Hearing Misha’s voice in her head Sasha casts

and retreats .

When they were both far enough away from Linka they stopped and turned their demon eyes to Linka .

“What’s with that demon sword? I can’t even see its magic . ” (Sasha)

Sasha’s demon eyes of ruin need to be able to see the magic formula to be able to destroy it so she was unable to stop the demon sword .

“It’s not the sword its Hiding Magic

. ” (Misha)

Misha’s demon eyes can still see the hidden sword as well as the magic

.

“The sword’s power is transparency . Linka has cast

and concealed the sword’s power . ” (Misha)

“…… . So that’s how it is . Hard Sword is a bit of a fake name . ” (Sasha)

Linka slowly closes the gap between them .

Sasha turns her demon eyes on Linka instead causing her to frown for an instant but she continues advancing without caring .

The demon eyes of ruin are the ultimate anti-magic . The effect of destroying people and things is purely a by-product .

A lesser magic-user might be defeated in a single glance but against a 2000-year-old mazoku, they would not be enough to win .

Misha and Sasha continued to retreat keeping a distance between them .

Those 2 were at a disadvantage against swords .

“Unfortunately……” (Linka)

Linka stops and puts her sword back on her shoulder .

“Hard Sword is the name I was given before my reincarnation was fully completed . The name I was given 2000 years ago was the Soft Sword . ” (Linka)

Though she’s far outside of the sword’s range she raises her sword anyway .

“Don’t look down on the distance my sword can cover!” (Linka)

Linka slashes downwards with her sword .

“Sasha . ” (Misha)

“I know!” (Sasha)

Misha creates an ice s.h.i.+eld while Sasha creates a magic barrier and an anti-magic barrier .

Grabbing each others hands they both say together .

“Anti-Demon Construction Creation

”

The ice s.h.i.+eld strengthened many times by the fusion magic withstood Linka’s sword, however, Linka stomped down with one foot and used all her body power swinging her sword down again .

“Oooooooooooooh!!!” (Linka)

The ice s.h.i.+eld cracks and shatters followed by the ground being split in two, however, both Sasha and Misha had fled to both sides using

just before it happened .

If either of them had been hit by that they’d be in trouble .

“Free sword Gamest . The shape, material and colour change to whatever I like . ” (Linka)

Linka grasps the hilt with only one hand now instead of both . What form has she changed it to this time?

“All this power and its called a soft sword . As usual all you 2000-year-old mazoku do whatever you please . ” (Sasha)

“Don’t overestimate me too much . 2000 years ago I was not as strong as I am now . Well, in terms of physical strength anyway . ” (Linka)

Linka closes in on them while speaking .

“What do you mean?” (Sasha)

Sasha talked to Linka while keeping an eye on the hand holding the sword .

“My reincarnation went well . This body has inherited the blood and traits of the demon king Arnos very well . I was called a member of the chaos generation before my power even fully awoke . With my origin fully awakened in it no wonder I’m so strong now . ” (Linka)

Linka kicked the ground, however, Misha was one step ahead and a fence of ice blocked her way .

“Cage of ice . ” (Misha)

Walls sprang up on all sides and enclosed Linka in a cage of ice strengthened by Sasha’s anti-magic and magic barrier .

“

” (Sasha/Misha)

“Weak!!” (Linka)

Rotating her body Linka swings her sword crus.h.i.+ng the cage of ice, however, Misha had already made her next move .

“Ice castle . ” (Misha)

Demon King Castles are built to the north, south, east and west with Linka in the centre . Each castle has a gun port open and aimed at Linka .

“Eat this!” (Sasha)

Jet black suns are fired from each castle at the same time .

“

!!!” (Sasha/Misha)

The area plunged into darkness as four jet black suns fired . There was no way to avoid but Linka took the

full on .

The area burst into black flames, while the surrounding trees around were blown away by the aftermath of the magic .

If you took that on directly not even your bones would remain .

“That’s really good magic for mazoku of this age . ” (Linka)

Linka ran through the black flames . She had turned the free sword Gamest into a s.h.i.+eld and layered it with anti-magic thus blocking

.

“But—” (Linka)

Linka closes in on Sasha with her invisible sword lowered .

Sasha sets up a spherical magic barrier and as the sword cuts the barrier she reads the trajectory and dodges .

“Even if I can’t see it I can still deal with it . ” (Sasha)

Sasha retreats using

Misha suddenly shouts .

“Sasha stop!” (Misha)

Blood pours out of Sasha’s mouth

“……Eh……?” (Sahsa)

Blood spreads from her abdomen and coats the transparent demon sword making it visible .

“The free sword Gamest also has free number of places it can be placed . I put it in places where you might escape to . ” (Linka)

The phoenix vestment flares up again and heals Sasha but Linka thrust another Gamest into Sasha before she heals .

“So much for that . The wound is spreading faster than that magic tool can regenerate . ” (Linka)

Sasha collapses .

As Linka said, with two demon swords stuck in her death is only a matter of time .

“It must be painful to die so slowly . I’ll make it easier for you . ” (Linka)

Linka held Gamest as if to deliver the finis.h.i.+ng blow .

“Chains of ice . ” (Misha)

An uncountable number of ice chains wrapped around Linka’s body .

“Tch!” (Linka)

In a single flash of Gamest Linka sliced through all the chains .

Misha looks at Sasha . She might be trying to help Sasha but Linka is standing in front of her .

“The demon eyes of ruin have been sealed . All that’s left is you . ” (Linka)

Although she was playing around with the invisible sword the demon eyes of ruin were a threat to Linka .

Although not the finis.h.i.+ng blow, the constant staring of Sasha restricted Linka’s movements, however, those fetters are now gone .

“………… . ” (Misha)

Misha quietly watches Linka

“Let me pa.s.s . ” (Misha) . It was an indifferent voice . ,

“Don’t worry . ” (Linka)

Linka moves slightly . In the next moment, she had approached Misha .

Even if Misha could see Linka with her demon eyes the physical ability difference was too much .

Before she had a chance to retreat, Linka had plunged her free sword into Misha’s abdomen .

“I’ll send you to the same place . ” (Linka)

When she pulled out her demon sword Misha fell down .

“This is the end . ” (Linka)

The shape of the free sword Garmest becomes clear .

She puts the tip of Garmest against Misha’s head and pours magic into it .

“Move . ” (Misha)

An inorganic voice rings out .

“It’s very admirable to still be worrying about your elder sister at this point . At the very least I’ll make sure you don’t suffer . ” (Linka)

Linka grasps Garmest with her other hand and thrusts down with great strength .

The tip of Garmest breaks the skin, cuts through the meat and touches Misha’s skull but with a snapping sound the sword breaks .

“wh…… . at……?” (Linka)

Linka stared at her broken sword in disbelief .

“… . . Retreat… . . ” (Misha)

Misha’s voice rings out .

It was an inorganic voice but it was filled with deep anger .

“… . The moment I touched you with it… . you changed the free sword… . . into a fragile material……” Linka muttered to herself when she saw the free sword Garmest which had lost it magical power shatter into pieces .

Linka looked up as a flash of light crossed her vision .

“… . What are you creating… . ?” Linka says in a shaking voice .

In front of Linka’s eyes, an unbelievable thing was created .

“… . What are you even creating? Do you even understand . . ?” Linka shouted out almost in a scream

A castle of ice was being built .

Two thousand years ago, every mazoku looked up to the most powerful magic tool owned by the demon king Arnos VoldiG.o.d, the demon castle Deruzogedo .

“… . . You can’t……… That…… Castle is a G.o.d! A mere mazoku… . . can’t…… . !” . (Linka)

As if it’s a bad dream she repeats it many times over . It was almost as if she was praying .

Linka already knew . Misha’s magic was so powerful that it could transform the demon sword Gamest into something fragile .

Misha raised her body up slowly causing Linka to back away in fear .

“……Have you awoken…… . ?” (Linka)

Misha shakes her head .

“I am me . ” (Misha)

The demon king’s castle becomes a solid magic formation and uncountable magic formations float on its surface .

Magic particles rise up and a magic formation appears in Misha’s eyes .

Deruzogedo was create using

.

The magic power it possessed compared to the original which housed the power of the G.o.d of destruction was completely inferior, however, it housed enough power to be considered a pseudo G.o.d .

“Ice crystals . ” (Misha)

Linka used all her power and developed an anti-magic field over her whole body, however, when Misha looked at her with her demon eyes Linka’s body disappeared and all that remained was ice crystals .

“Sasha . ” (Misha)

Misha looks at the fallen Sasha and the two demon swords stuck in her turned into ice crystals and disappeared .

Once the Free Swords disappeared the Phoenix Vestment healed Sasha’s wounds and she opened her eyes slightly .

“Just in time . ” (Sasha)

Laughing happily Misha drops to her knees as if her power was exhausted .

The Deruzogedo behind her scatters into ice crystals creating a beautiful view of icy snow .
