Episode 227
Azazel
“I can’t believe we met in a place like this. “I feel really dirty.”
Mephisto still had his arms crossed and his eyes shining sinisterly.
The voice was no longer a telepathic sound resonating in Elric’s head, but a voice.
“very.”
Clearly, his posture was not much different from his usual posture.
Whenever Elric did something, he would cross his arms next to him and give him a disapproving look, which was nothing short of Mephisto’s trademark.
But now even though it is clearly the same motion.
He was radiating a power that overwhelmed his son-in-law so powerfully that he could never resist.
The world… I was shaking.
clattering-
Cuckoo!
As if it would collapse at any moment.
and.
Elric could see another illusion positioned behind Mephisto’s back.
It was a wolf with the horns of a mountain goat, with its head touching the edge of the sky and its body touching the earth, covering the entire world.
Elric realized at that moment.
That must have been the true form of the Great Demon King called ‘Mephistopheles’!
It was a scene that could be seen because in this world of images, unlike in the real world, all restrictions had disappeared.
And of course.
Azazel was boasting no less powerful than him.
If Mephisto was a wolf, Azazel was a crow.
A crow with its black wings spread high and its red eyes shining sinisterly.
After a very brief confrontation between the wolf and the crow.
Swish!
The new forms of the two great demon kings disappeared from their places.
Kwaaaaang!
Then, they collided at the halfway point.
Mephisto was stretching out his hand, and Azazel was swinging his magic energy as sharp as a blade.
Crumble, rumble, rumble-
Kwakwakwakwa!
Even though it was just a simple collision, the aftereffects scattered in all directions were randomly clawing at the ground and collapsing the mountainside.
‘What kind of magic wave is this… !’
It was a sight that Elric, who was watching the two from the ground, could not help but widen.
Archmages and wise men are often described as having the ability to ‘split the sky and split the earth’.
There was absolutely no way that could be done in reality.
Such things are not ordinary magicians, but rather beings that can be called ‘gods’.
However, the two great demon kings were really ‘splitting the sky and splitting the earth’.
Every time he waved his hand wide, the tall canyon collapsed, and every time he stamped his foot, the mountainside rose up, blocking the magic.
It was a sight that could truly be called a natural disaster, with a firestorm tearing through space.
There, Elric was busy taking care of his own body.
‘How much of a difference is there? !’
Elric had to feel that the confidence he had had for so long was shaking.
Still, wasn’t he using the Seal of the Winter World, obtaining Dragon’s Blood, and receiving recognition from the 6 Winter Chapters one by one?
Since I had succeeded in capturing the demon lord named Leda, I was now feeling somewhat proud of my own skills.
As I watched the two Great Demon Lords clashing so powerfully that the phrase, “Sangjeonbyeoksae (桑田碧海)” came to mind, I felt like such pride was sinking inside me.
On the other hand, I had no idea how good Otto Han was when he was able to win against those great demon kings… !
‘How on earth should I attack? ‘I can’t see any gaps.’
Elric knew well who he should help here and now.
So, I’m just looking for an opportunity to catch Azazel whenever I can.
That wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
Even if you open your mind’s eye and try to capture it with a sense of ghost. Azazel’s movements were already far beyond the range he could ‘read’.
If you attack rashly and incorrectly, this could result in a situation that is unfavorable to Mephisto.
No matter how he managed to find an opening, he was anxious to take care of himself in this enormous storm of magical power.
‘I shouldn’t take too long.’
I didn’t know exactly how much time difference there was between the imaginary world and the real world.
But one thing is certain: the two should never be allowed to fight for too long.
No matter how much he endured with dragon blood, there was a risk that his body would collapse in the meantime.
‘What on earth should I do…? !’
At a time when Elric was trembling with impatience.
Quarrrrr-
Pabababat!
“… “Inhale!”
Elric saw the fragments of magical energy flying towards him in the aftermath of the clash between the two Great Demon Lords and quickly raised his magic power.
While holding the ice spear in my hand, I tried to throw it away, but it didn’t seem easy.
It was so fast that it was impossible to avoid.
‘Somehow, the ‘beak’… !’

Elric poured all his thoughts into the tip of the spear and tried to bounce off the magical energy fragments.
However, I couldn’t see with my mind’s eye where to stab.
Completely flawless.
Since it is already a fragment with no loopholes in itself, it is impossible to find any weaknesses.
So, I had no choice but to just hit it, so I clenched my teeth and tried to throw an ice spear at it.
“after… ! “You’re just like Otto Hahn in not being able to distinguish between this and this.”
A low-pitched voice suddenly came from behind.
A familiar voice.
Elric turned his head in that direction and was startled.
Before he knew it, a large man, one head taller than him, was blocking him from the demonic energy fragments.
“Nahatram?”
“How are you going to stop something like that?”
Nahatram said one word and stretched out his hand forward.
Then, before he knew it, a long pole about 3 meters long grew in his hand.
Tsutsutsu-
From the edge, a blue energy slowly bloomed like a haze, and soon the area expanded and fluttered greatly in the wind.
It was like seeing a huge flag.
The surface of the flag that appeared like this had the old Mervinger seal, now familiar to Elric, drawn and shining beautifully.
Paralarak!
It felt like there was a sound that can only be heard when a real flag is waving.
Nahatram waved the flag noisily and struck back the fragments of magic energy.
Instead of deflecting it like Elric tried, he moved the flagpole, as if wrapping a cloth around the demonic energy fragment, and then flung it somewhere else.
In the end, the magic fragments did not cause any damage to Nahatram and Elric and only hit the ground in the distance.
Kwaaaaang!
A pillar of sand rose high with a violent explosion.
Shush shush-
Let’s go!
Even then, Nahatram used the same method to quickly swat away the shower of magical energy fragments to the side.
Meanwhile, Mia opened the space and appeared next to Elric.
“first. “Let’s go somewhere else.”
Mia stretched out her hand this way.
It means to catch.
The moment Elric nodded and held his hand, the world around him shook.
Paaaat!
The place where Elric and Mia reappeared was a long way away from the two Great Demon Lords.
A place so far away that I thought it might be the end of the world.
The problem was that even though the distance was wide enough, Mephisto and Azazel’s momentum was transmitted to this point.
My skin was still tingling.
“It’s not a joke, right?”
Mia said while looking at Elric, who could hardly take his eyes off the two Great Demon Lords.
I felt it even when we met before.
She still didn’t show any emotions, like a doll.
Even his voice was blunt.
It made me wonder if ice cubes were falling.
“You… “Have you lived in a place like this?”
Mia calmly shook her head.
“no.”
“then… ?”
“They and Otto Hahn were strange. “We were normal.”
“… .”
“Ah, you’re strange too. Do you keep seeing what good they have? “I just don’t understand.”
Elric smiled bitterly without even realizing it.
Because somehow I understood.
Then he slightly lowered his head towards Mia.
“Ah, thank you more than that.”
“what?”
When Mia made an expression of confusion, Elric tilted his head this time.
“You saved me, didn’t you?”
Then Mia’s expressionless face changed strangely.
“I thought you would be mad at me.”
“Me? why?”
“It happened because of the sealing ceremony I taught you.”
“ah.”
Elric wondered what she was saying, but then realized what Mia meant and shook his head.
“I was the one who asked for help, and all Mia did was help, right? If you think about it, it’s my fault for carelessness. I should have suspected that Azazel did not intervene even though all the apostles were dying… “Whether I was complacent or arrogant, it was my mistake.”
At that moment, Elric didn’t notice that the corners of Mia’s eyes were brightening.
“Mistake, no.”
“yes… ?”
“I told you. Azazel is strange. She was a suspect. Even if I prevented it this time, it would have happened someday.”
Elric felt a strange feeling as he watched Mia comforting his own self-reproach.
I was treated coldly here before. Actually, Mia didn’t seem to care much about what happened at the time.
I thought it was difficult to hear the nickname ‘Ice Flower’.
I thought that maybe he was just not good at expressing his emotions, but maybe he was a warm person on the inside.
“Is there any magic that can help us get out of here?”
Mia shook her head.
“doesn’t exist. “There is no other way than extermination.”
“… “That one?”
Elric pointed at the two Great Demon Lords who were still clashing fiercely with a feeling of uncertainty.
Mia followed the finger and glanced in that direction, then nodded very calmly.
“huh. “That one.”
“Are you kidding?”
“Does this look like a joke?”
“… .”
That nonsense needs to be eradicated immediately?
Elric had to feel himself losing consciousness for a moment.
Eat.
At that moment, a very small smile escaped Mia’s lips.
“Extermination doesn’t mean just blindly defeating the Great Demon King. All you have to do is literally kick them out of here.”
“then… ?”
“It may be difficult, but if you get your hands on the image world that has been transformed into a demon, you will be able to drive it out. “I will help you with that from now on.”
Demon territory refers to the territory of demons and demon kings. In other words, due to demonic energy, the ownership of Elric’s mental world has been transferred to the two Great Demon Lords, who are not currently Elric. It meant getting it back.
“It will take a long time to memorize the spell… Is that possible?”
In order for the Demon Station to be recaptured, ‘purification’ must also be accomplished.
Elric couldn’t help but be worried because he knew very well how long it would take.
In the meantime, Azazel could have tried to pull some trick here.
Even now, Mephisto is still holding on to him, so he’s been targeting Elric’s location.
“don’t worry. “Even if we can’t beat him, we can at least stop him.”
‘we… ?’
That was when Elric raised his head in response.
“The arrogant descendant is good at annoying people.”
“I know. “I don’t want to help you, considering the last time you were so rude.”
Two people with a grunting tone suddenly appeared, standing to Elric’s left and right.
They are much smaller than Nahatram and are not much different from Elric in terms of size.
On the other hand, the energy it gave off was much sharper and more intimidating than that, giving the strong impression that it was closer to a demon.
Winter Chapter 6.
It was the appearance of new characters, ‘Bloody Lord’ Chepeshu and ‘Iron Commander’ Damir.
