Chapter 386 – Hostages
Victory was certain.
Still, she can’t admit it.
‘Am I denying reality because of my pride?’
“It’s ugly. Not being able to admit defeat.”
Although it was a sound that would roll her eyes if Rafa heard it.
Fortunately, Chaos’s words were not heard by her.
The magic power felt from Rapha’s magic weapon was amplified in an instant. Her magical energy extending from her wrist blade stretched long enough to touch her ground.
And she rushes at me with unprecedented speed.
Booster?
I thought again.
Should I definitely smash this?
Or should I not?
The reason for this concern is simple.
If they find out that I could be a huge threat to the real demons, they will do everything they can to annihilate me.
Ever since, I’ve been a pretty cautious person.
I didn’t necessarily enjoy the risky adventure.
After waking up, I didn’t feel like I acted without hesitation, but that was an act I did because I had a huge insurance called a save point.
And there are no save points here.
I’ve been dealing with demons and the Great Devil, and I haven’t fully shown my strength to them.
Even though he has become much stronger than when he first set foot in this world of demons.
During those years, if I had done quests and raised my skill level, I would have made achievements that cannot be compared to now…
Well, I think I did as much as I could within the scope of what I could do.
If it’s only those who are here right now, it’s easy to organize.
But demons are not the only ones here.
I don’t know what the exact power is.
There is even an unknown existence called the Demon King.
I didn’t want to create a situation where I gave up on my girls.
Fortunately, the demons I’ve met so far didn’t feel like a big threat.
Until one day I face the demon king and I have a certain certainty, this way of doing things of mine will not change.
However, seeing Rapha running at me with foam at the mouth even after seeing a clear gap, it seems that I have been looking down on him quite a bit.
Wouldn’t it be okay to give a warning that it can sting if you touch it carelessly?
But I can’t make it feel too threatening.
The world has stopped
It doesn’t stop, it looks stopped.
It is an ability that I playfully call sage time.
In fact, there was also the effect of wise time.
I tried it for a while with a tight erection, and the effect was strong.
The erected red pepper instantly cast a flurry.
The state of not knowing whether it is nirvana or liberation, and the acceleration of extreme thinking. Contemplation.
You roughly understand it with your head, but you can think of it as an expanded state of consciousness that your body can’t keep up with.
This is an ability I haven’t used against these guys since the time of Drakar.
And it is also an ability that I intensively honed through training.
It’s not that difficult to just move your consciousness in this world.
However, moving the body and magic is a different story. And that action shows the power to the extent of being a special move.
I loosened up the acceleration a bit.
Rafa’s magi machine, which had stopped, approached me in slow motion.
Looking at this gives me the illusion that I have the ability to adjust time.
My titan’s list blade moves.
Not very fast.
However, compared to Rapha’s magi, it is at the level of rabbits and turtles.
It looks slow, but it’s extremely high-speed that even the great devils can’t properly recognize.
And that speed provides that much destructive power to my movements.
There is nothing more certain than speed when it comes to increasing destructive power. If you add technology to it, its destructive power doubles.
And will.
Speaking of will, it sounds like catching a cloud.
It is said that the will to destroy a being like me is surprisingly effective.
If I make up my mind to destroy it, magic actually carries that kind of power…
I heard this from Ignis and Bright.
Originally, it can be said that I understood what I was just using unconsciously after listening to their explanation.
Due to the overwhelming speed difference, Rapha’s magi can’t even resist, and both arms and head fall off my titan’s list blade.
And finally, the blade attached to the back of the hand pierced through the breastplate of the magi.
-Kwajik!!
At some point, the digging sword stopped.
The fact that this level of destructive power was stopped meant that there was something quite hard inside the chest.
‘Is it a core?’
These big robots usually have a core.
Since the core is the most important organ of all, it must be strongly protected.
-Thud. Thud. Thud.
Time returned to normal and belatedly, the head and arms of the magi fell to the ground.
I don’t know exactly what the hard thing was that settled in my chest, but once it was limp, Rapha’s magic weapon didn’t move anymore.
Is incapable of fighting
A quiet silence flows over the tumultuous battlefield.
The great demons were looking at this place with trembling eyes. You can see the fear in their eyes.
It was a natural reaction since he showed them a side of his fighting power that was on a different level than before.
《Whoa…This is the Chaos Titan’s Untouchable Blade. You did it. She was too mean. I would like to think that she is the master of conceit.”
“…”
You can’t even hear it, but who are you talking to…
And he didn’t even do it.
Is it an illusion that the symptoms of chaos are getting worse?
At this point, I feel like I should say a few words in a quiet place someday.
I tried shaking the Titan’s hand, which was embedded in the magi’s chest.
I felt something hard.
The moment I tried to grab it.
The future prediction showed that a powerful ray attack was flying towards me.
It’s sniping.
Rafa’s magic weapon became incapacitated and it seemed that the seal on the authority had been lifted.
Rafa’s magic weapon, which only had a torso and legs, turned to that side and blocked it.
-Quaang!!
Rafa’s magic weapon, which was hit by a sniper, shook greatly once, but was fine.
It is still a magic weapon that shows strong durability.
Perhaps because they thought they could attack their allies, the demon’s sniping didn’t continue.
Come to think of it…
Why doesn’t this aircraft disappear?
Judging from the experience so far, it should have been retrieved long ago.
Doesn’t this magic machine have a retrieval device?
‘If I knew this would happen, wouldn’t it have been better to subdue it normally?’
I feel a little regretful.
Still, you have to keep doing what you’re doing.
I decided to take out what I thought was the core of the magic weapon.
Core is money if you do it.
-Stupid.
However, the item was different from what I expected, like a large capsule.
A transparent membrane was visible in front, and inside it was a pale blue-skinned demon who had lost consciousness with blood flowing from his mouth.
She was a woman with an attractive face in a tight-fitting suit.
Was this… Not an unmanned aircraft, but a self-piloted aircraft?
I’m staring at the capsule.
Again, a small space opened in the air, and something like a round machine protruded from there.
And the machine projects something like a hologram.
It was a demon man.
He exclaimed in an urgent voice.
『That, stop it!』
– What do you want to quit… Um? You…
The demon’s face is somehow familiar.
Was it Martin?
He’s the cheeky demon bastard who told me to make a truce one day.
It was a command tone, not a request, so of course I ignored it.
‘But why is he so upset?’
His urgency made me understandably suspicious.
『When she says nice things, let go of her and leave!』
Of course I am not a fool to hear that.
This capsule seems to be an important item… No, it looks like a demon.
But in a situation like this, you say something like that?
His mental state is questionable.
I lightly grabbed the capsule.
-Simplicity and honesty.
The capsule Titan was holding slightly bent.
『That, stop it!! If she dies, you won’t be safe!』
-Ah…Is that so?
If this guy is urgent to say something like that… That means he’s a very important person.
Rather, it went well.
I gave more strength to Titan’s grip.
-Kikkiik…
『That, stop it! What do you want!』
He seemed to be thinking the right way now.
-If you want to save her life, do not get involved in my occupation of Gromgal’s castle.
“What?!”
-If you don’t like that, then I have no reason to keep this demon alive.
A fierce conflict was felt on his face.
‘This will work?’
Strangely, the hostage action worked for the demons.
This doesn’t work for demons.
If this situation happened, the demons would try to kill me, whether the hostage died or not.
That’s why there is no hostage taking in the devil’s conflict.
I don’t know if this is good or bad.
I thought demons wouldn’t be too different from demons…
Surprisingly, the human aspect was considerable.
In this respect, demons were not very different from humans.
In the end, as if he had made up his mind, Martin glared at me and said.
『…Keep your promise. Uno. If you do not keep this promise, we will annihilate you no matter what.”
It was like permission.
“Martin! What do you mean!”
“You’re going to hand over Grom’gal’s Great Demon Castle to him?!”
“Because of one insignificant female demon?!”
When Martin seemed to be listening to me, the Prime Devils were shocked and rebelled.
Of course, the great devils will be embarrassed by Martin’s behavior.
You won’t even understand why this situation is happening in the first place.
“Shut up! It’s you guys who are insignificant! Anyway, Gromgal isn’t here. Don’t worry, I’ll guarantee your life.
