chapter 9
9 – What is your true identity?
“—Die.”
Quaaa!
Towards White, who was tied to a golden vine, the golden demon king threw out a fist filled with huge mana.
A blast went off once and the mighty fist flew straight toward White.
“… ….”
It seemed that White, unable to move while being tied to the vines, would not be able to escape the golden fist of the demon king.
At any moment, that fist will blow your head like a woman from one day.
‘I’m sure it will.’
…… Called.
The golden demon king thought.
That expectation was missed very nicely.
Pain!
“…… !”
White, who had come out of the vine before he knew it, evaded the golden demon king’s fist to the side while inscribing blue mana all over his body.
“…… What!”
A light of astonishment shone over the golden devil’s expression.
It wasn’t that he was shocked because he avoided the fist.
Rather than that, the golden demon king was greatly surprised at the part where he released his own unique magic, the ‘golden vine’.
That was completely unexpected.
Naturally, such a shock made the golden demon king stiffen his body for a while.
“You showed a gap.”
White was not immature enough to miss such a gap in vain.
Kwaak-
White began to focus intense blue light on his right hand.
And right after that.
In a form similar to the appearance of the golden demon king a moment ago.
Hoo-wook—!
White threw his fist as hard as he could.
“──It can’t be!”
As if he couldn’t be treated in vain this time, the golden demon roared wildly and raised his mana again.
Quaaagh!
The golden demon king and the white mana collided roughly in the middle, and a huge explosion erupted.
Koo-Goo Palace!
“…… !”
“Kuaaa!”
In the aftermath, another wall of the Mage Tower was shattered terribly.
Ugh!
The two wizards bounced outside the mage tower, each protecting themselves with mana.
*****
“Kuh, kuh!”
“Ahhhhh! My arm, my arm!”
“Aagh!”
…… The outside of the golden mage tower.
Kung, Koo Goo Goong!
Quguagwagwagwang!
The golden mage tower, their stronghold, was mercilessly destroyed in real time with their own eyes.
The wizards in the golden tower cast a futile light on their faces.
“…… Ahhh.”
A mage just let out a shallow sob with a look of despair.
“Eh, the Demon King. Where is the Demon King?!”
Another wizard looked for only the golden king with a half-reasoned look.
…… And.
The golden demon king they are constantly looking for is now.
Quaaa!
“…… That is impossible!”
With his eyes wide open with a shocked look on his face, he was shooting magic continuously in the sky near the golden mage tower.
Each of those spells contained a huge amount of mana, enough to annihilate a village.
Those magical bombardments are one and the same.
Ugh, ugh-
“There is nothing impossible in this world, the golden demon king.”
It was only losing its power in vain due to the blue shield that White spread.
Raising the corners of her mouth once, White let her calm voice out of her mouth.
“Well, I can understand how shocked you are. Not many wizards can block your magic so perfectly…….”
“… ….”
White muttered that with a hint of understanding.
“…… All.”
“What?”
What actually came back.
“…… That is not to say!”
It was the roar of the golden demon king and the development of another magic circle.
Ugh, ugh!
“How did you get out of my ‘golden vine’?! Not too long ago!”
The golden demon king shouted with a distorted expression while recalling dozens of magic circles behind him.
“Among the 12 demon lords like me, there are few people who can do such a thing!”
Ugh-
Once, the magic circles created behind him resonated at the same time.
And right after that, thousands of golden arrows began to shoot out from the magic circles.
Whee Oh Oh Oh!
“…… hahahaha.”
As the arrows flew toward him in a graceful trajectory, White just stared at them with calm eyes.
Thousands of arrows were flying at him with a bloody light, but White was just making a face that was so calm and weak.
That’s right.
This time, it can be said that it is a clear and grounded manifestation of confidence.
“Unfortunately, the golden demon king.”
Saaa-
While he swung his hands once with a graceful movement.
White opened her mouth, raising the corners of her mouth.
“…… Compared to my master and the other 12 demon lords, you are far behind. Neither you nor your own magic. That’s all.”
That’s how White concluded.
And right after that.
Flash!
While capturing the sun’s rays within that brilliant wall, White spread both hands in an instant and unleashed a single magic.
White Qliphoth – Unique Magic
『Blue Waves』
Quaaa!
From both of White’s hands, mana burst out with unparalleled intensity.
With the vivid blue magic circle, a huge wave was created in front of White.
“──.”
…… A golden demon king who captures the gigantic blue waves with both eyes.
“…… There cannot be.”
Muttering over and over again the words I had been spitting out a while ago.
“It can’t be…… !”
He roared wildly with a shocked look on his face.
Kuaaa
…… However, in spite of the golden demon king’s ferocity.
The ‘blue wave’ created by White swallows all those golden arrows.
In the end, even the golden demon king who sent that arrow.
It’s really pointless.
I ended up sweeping it clean.
*****
To-duk, to-duk.
Shoot ah-
Unlike natural raindrops, bluish raindrops started pouring down from the sky.
“… ….”
And.
A plain not far from the Golden Magic Tower.
There, a man and a boy were staring at each other.
Their identity is none other than that.
He was the heir to an ordinary ducal family and the golden demon king who occupied the throne of the 12 demon kings.
How did they meet, and what reason did they end up facing each other?
What on earth is the owner of the golden mage tower, famous for being tyrannical, planning to do to the young boy from the Duke’s family?
Perhaps if someone had heard that they faced each other, they would have had that thought.
“… ….”
But.
…… If only someone had seen them from afar.
I wouldn’t have had such shallow thoughts at all.
Wouldn’t that be worth it?
The heir to the ducal family and the owner of the golden mage tower.
No matter who thinks, the power gap between the two is overwhelming, right now.
With that power gap reversed, with a reversed composition.
Because they were directing their eyes filled with reversed emotions toward each other.
“…… Who are you?”
“… ….”
With his inorganic eyes shining weakly once, the golden demon uttered a collapsed voice.
Surprisingly, such a golden demon king’s voice.
Because there was a clear feeling of ‘fear’.
It was a sight that no one would easily believe.
One of the greatest wizards on the continent, among them, the golden demon king who occupies the throne of the 12 demon kings called the worst.
He, who possesses an extremely vicious personality, gave a voice mixed with fear?
Even a 1st class mage who is new to magic will snort and wave his hand to stop talking nonsense if he hears such a story.
…… But.
As of right now, the scene unfolding on the plain near the Golden Magic Tower was a clear reality.
That was a fact that neither the white nor the golden demon king could deny.
“…… I asked what your true identity was.”
The golden demon king opened his mouth again with a weak expression.
With red blood flowing all over his body.
…… Once again, let’s talk about a reality that no one can easily believe.
That must be the fact that the golden demon king is dying in real time.
However, the golden demon king, who must have had a clear premonition of his own death, was rather unconcerned.
With only shallow fear in his voice, the golden demon king turned his trembling eyes toward White.
“I will ask you again, boy.”
“… ….”
Without answering anything, he just faced White, who was looking down at him with a sullen gaze.
“…… You.”
The golden demon lord let out a voice filled with awe.
“What is your true identity?”
“… ….”
Somewhere in White’s expression, a chilly expression began to emerge.
