Part 2 Episode 118
Demon God
Elric’s answer was very simple.
He shook his head calmly.
“… .”
The Demon God frowned and crossed his arms.
“why? Are you saying such old-fashioned things as saying that you too have to protect the world or that it is fate? Like other cowards?”
“It’s not like that.”
“then?”
He asked back as if he didn’t understand even more.
So is there any need to reject it?
Is this the way for humans to become gods?
“Because it’s Mervinger.”
“… ?”
The Demon God tilted his head.
What does this mean again?
“Shouldn’t Mervinger have it all?”
Something I still don’t understand.
The Demon God quietly narrowed his eyes, but then burst into laughter as if he realized something.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s fun! “It’s a lot of fun!”
Elric asked with a sullen expression at the Demon God’s mocking laugh.
“What on earth is so funny?”
“Isn’t it funny? Say it with your own mouth. “So what are you going to do if you don’t become a god?”
“Dragon and demon. Truth and superstition. Black and white. Magi and magic. “I’m going to get everything.”
The corner of Elric’s mouth twitched.
“Becoming a pioneer? I’ll do it. Becoming a ruler? I do that too. What I want is not just a god or anything. “It’s beyond that.”
The demon god laughed.
ha ha ha.
I thought that the sound was really loud.
Elric continued speaking.
“And I have no intention of simply ending with the goal of becoming the Four Seasons or the Progenitor. “You too.”
“then?”
“We must properly swallow Mephisto’s seal. and.”
Elric pointed his finger to the sky.
“heat. I will aim for a much higher level than them. “Something higher than God.”
His words were like a declaration of war.
Mephisto is part of the Demon God.
Swallowing it means that even the demon god considers it inferior.
But the demon god was not angry.
Instead, the laughter only got louder.
Madness.
Even the eerieness was evident.
“I guess I was right! you are different “The bowl is different from other Mervingers I’ve seen.”
The demon’s fangs were revealed through his smile.
“In times like this, I have no choice but to admit that ‘that guy’ made the right choice. “He said he was going to bet his descendants in the distant future, and it was really worth it.”
That guy.
Elric could tell that the person the Demon God was talking about was the progenitor.
A mortal enemy who fought with the Demon God throughout his life over Mervinger’s identity.
“Then let me ask you one more question.”
Elric nodded quietly.
“Do you think that’s possible?”
“Our ancestors did it too, so why can’t I do it too?”
Elric shrugged and said as if it was no big deal.
“okay. That is also true. But in order to do that, there are things you have to overcome.”
“… ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon god’s new form suddenly went out like a candle.
Elric quickly scanned the surroundings, but could not sense any sign of the demon god anywhere.
instead.
“If that’s what you’re really aiming for.”
I heard his voice getting further and further away, and then.
[You will have to get over me first.]
It echoed throughout the inner world, its exact location unknown.
And that moment.
“… !”
Phew!
Elric’s body began to be sucked into the sea of unconsciousness.
* * *
Sigh!

“… “It’s tough, really.”
Elric attempted to resist by raising his magic power.
But it was no use.
Because every time I tried to use my strength, an unknown energy suppressed me.
Because of this, he continued to fall deep into the sea of unconsciousness, like falling into a swamp.
‘It was definitely a place that didn’t even reach my ankles.’
Quarrrrr-
Then, when it was submerged so deep that light could barely come through.
Flash!
Elric could feel that something huge was watching him.
When I turned my head, I saw two large eyes looking in this direction.
‘That pervert really… !’
If you just sit back and watch people having a hard time, isn’t that a pervert or a person?
The Demon God looked around at Elric with arced eyes as if he was having fun.
‘I feel so dirty. I think I need to do something.’
Animals in barbed wire. No, I felt like an insect worse than that.
Because I was overcome by overwhelming power and couldn’t do anything.
Even my body seemed to be getting stiffer.
He later tried to use the power of Magina Seal.
It was the same.
It didn’t work at all.
If things continued like this, I felt like I could be stuck here for the rest of my life and never be able to open my eyes.
‘There must be a reason why you suddenly treat me like this.’
This was a test.
A test given by the demon god to distant descendants.
What I meant was that if you can really do what you said, prove it to yourself.
All magic and demons were cast and locked.
[Can you give me a hint?]
The guy speaks.
Elric quietly watched what the demon said.
[What do you think all the great devils, including Mephistopheles, are?]
‘Oh, is that what you meant?’
Elric let out a laugh.
The four Great Demon Kings are like fragments or remnants of the Demon God.
Of course, if you try to swallow one of them, Mephisto.
Or, if it tried to become itself, it had no choice but to be eaten by a demon god, a larger concept.
So what should we do to break this?
‘Add another concept… .’
A concept that demons do not belong to.
Four seasons.
‘No, higher than that.’
Sijo.
So what should we do to bring about the concept of sijo?
‘We must bring back the progenitor’s territory.’
Elric always remembered what Mephisto said.
The concept that Sijo had.
-Mother Nature.
Blink! Blink!
In an instant, the seals of winter, spring, and summer glowed one after another along Elric’s arm.
The energy of the demon god that had been binding Elric began to be pushed out.
Kurrrrrr-
The sea of unconsciousness trembled.
Elric succeeded in pushing away the concept of demon gods, but he knew that this would not last long.
One piece was still missing to complete Mother Nature.
Autumn (秋).
It must be the season when all fruits and grains ripen.
Only when the sky is blue and it is the highest season.
Even Mother Nature can have complete depth.
It is impossible to completely push away the deep, deep power of the Demon God.
So, we have to use another method… !
[Quite a bit. Are you trying to come up with a countermeasure or a way to destroy it by bringing in opposing concepts and countering them, swallowing and analyzing the concepts that have been bound up in the meantime? After all, this is something only you can do.]
The Demon God realized Elric’s thoughts and burst out in admiration.
Simply withstanding his own pressure was an incredible feat, but the fact that he even tried to resist was admirable.
[But the more I think about it, the more I want you. So come here… !]
As the Demon God’s words continued for a long time, the three seals that protected Elric also blinked and lost their light.
When you think it’s really dangerous like this.
Just then, a miracle happened.
-Open your eyes. It’s my child.
I opened my eyes to the voice ringing inside me.
And I could see it.
The image of a person affectionately stroking his or her head while turning away from the demon.
Always video only.
The face of someone I had only seen as a statue.
Star Mage, Usden Mervinger.
It was my grandfather.
-It is still too early for you to fight back. But I’m proud that I’ve become this much stronger. So in the future too.
Elric wanted to say something.
But strangely, I was speechless.
-I want to grow up healthy. Just like now.
With those words, Usden pushed Elric back.
Leaving behind any sounds from the demon god, the sea of unconsciousness swirled rapidly.
* * *
Flash!
Elric opened his eyes as soon as he came to his senses.
A familiar scenery came into view.
Demons fighting against a dragon army.
A frantic burst of breath and a corresponding siege weapon.
It was back to Mirka’s arrangement.
And above all.
“… .”
“… .”
In front of Elric, Mervinger, with the same face as himself, was looking at him.
It was the same situation as before I lost consciousness.
“You’re back?”
He said with a smile as soon as he learned that Elric had regained consciousness.
“I became ‘Elic’ Mervinger, not Mephistopheles or the Demon God. No, I chose to be that way.”
“… .”
Elric stared at the man who said that.
No thoughts could be read from his quietly smiling face.
It felt like I was looking in a mirror.
An image of himself as a demon appeared in the man’s pupils.
“you.”
Elric, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.
“You are the progenitor, right?”
“… .”
The man neither confirmed nor denied.
Even now, he was smiling with no clear meaning.
But Elric didn’t care.
Because I took it as an unspoken affirmation.
“at the same time.”
And it was then that I opened my mouth again.
“He’s also a demon god.”
Sigh.
The man’s smile grew deeper at the last words.
Wizard who swallowed talent
