Volume 9 Chapter 53 Death God Vs Demon, Part Three
"Die."
Cova's 'Unlight (Devil's Right Arm)' writhed like a giant snake and was slammed towards Noa.
But it didn't hit.
For a magician, the arm that will consume their magic power upon contact is like a natural enemy, but it's meaningless if it doesn't hit.
"It seems you've stopped."
"Is that so?"
The arm deeply embedded in the ground scattered.
A swarm of tentacles as if to crush with sheer numbers, following Noire from behind.
――Fast.
The tentacles are accelerating.
Even with Noire enhanced by 'Tonari (Side by Side)' magic, they are caught up.
Realizing this, Noire shifted to evasion. Anticipating the movements of the pouring tentacles, she danced lightly with quick steps.
The tentacles seemed as if they were avoiding Noire from the beginning, piercing into the ground.
The steps became more intense, making sound while increasing the rhythm.
"With such a monotonous rhythm, I get bored."
Noire appeared in front of Cova, whose eyes wide open, digging into the ground with her pivot foot and spinning.
The spinning made a high kick that caught his face.
With a loud bang, Cova was blown away, knocking down buildings as he flew.
Even if he changes his appearance, there's nothing he can do.
Whether it's a demon or whatever, he's no enemy of the Lord――
"Y-you're so gooooddd!"
Breaking through the dust cloud, a delighted Cova charged at Noire.
"Huh!?"
Noire dodged his swinging arms and her unleashed flames. The cherry-colored flames wrapped around Cova, but he didn't seem to care.
"Hahaha! Ahahaha!"
He is swinging his arms as he took the flames head-on.
There's no technique. His movements are like a small child throwing a tantrum.
The brutality that comes with it is so unbalanced and unsettling.
But what's even more eerie is something else.
"You're getting uglier and uglier."
"Hmm, is that so?"
It's not just his right arm. His left arm has also turned into a devil's arm, and his legs have become like a goat's with reverse joints.
His magic power swells, and there is no visible damage from the kicks.
It's strange.
Noire has never even touched that arm. It shouldn't have been strengthened this much just from being eaten by flames.
What on earth is he sacrificing?
As she thought about it, Noire noticed the oddity of the surrounding cityscape. Because she fought without considering any damage, it was harder to find a place that was unscathed.
And yet, not even a fragment had fallen. The section of destruction was too perfect.
What does that mean?
"No way, are you... sacrificing the city... the space?"
"That's right. This is a space created by that person. Everything is formed by magic power."
"Can you really devour such an important space like that?"
"The problem is, there's no way I can handle this on my own."
"...Is that so?"
Noire felt a cold sweat running down her back.
This space was a virtual construct created by magic. She understood that. Even if Cova went on a rampage, there was no sign of this space becoming unstable. In other words, an inexhaustible magic power was maintaining this place.
Just like when she was swallowed by the 'Bridge to the Universe,' the enemy's boss was a monster beyond her expectations.
'Wait, Noire. Is senpai, is senpai okay!?'
(I don't know. Maybe he's already fighting.)
If that's the case, time is of the essence.
There's no time to be taken by such an enemy.
"――Are you still thinking that?"
Wings like bats sprouted from Cova's back, and magic power pulsed through the surrounding air.
His neck and face were completely covered in black feathers, and within them were glass bead eyes and yellow eyes looking down at Noire.
The voice coming from the throat sounded like multiple voices overlapping.
"The more I fight, the more magic power I receive from this space as a sacrifice. In other words, I continue to grow stronger without limit. You have no chance of winning."
He is powerful.
Noire Toare, who is said to be a genius even among the Lords, has rarely encountered anyone stronger than herself.
Even the 'Distord Lord', Larkan Mines, although she had some respect for him, did not find him scary.
But now, in front of this Cova, Noire couldn't help but tremble.
In a sense, it was natural.
She may not know, but demons (mazoku) and humans both originated from the people of Earth.
And demons (akuma) are beings from a higher dimension that humans have always feared.
It's not that demons (akuma) are feared because they are demons (akuma).
Their very essence is fear.
They are not beings that humans should challenge.
Still, Noire smiled.
What she sees in her eyes isn't a demon (akuma).
It's only her beloved one waiting ahead.
"Who's standing before you? I'm the 'Lord of Dreams'—Noire Toare. Let me teach you that there's nothing better than love."
With her cherry blossom-colored hair fluttering, she unleashed all her magic power.
Flames blossomed like roses on Noire's back, and from their center emerged a beautiful serpent. Instead of a dress, she wore scales like flowers and flicked her tongue.
"Spiritual Penetration Art (Shinrei)── 'Märchenmine (Young Maiden's Love)'"
The demon's arms burst into black flashes, and the serpent spat out flames.
The lights devoured each other, engulfing the castle town in an explosion.
