......What are you laughing at?"

Yomi asks me this, and I raise myself up, shifting the debris out of the way.

I don't know if it's because we're in the midst of the "dirt" swirling around Zekkai, or if he literally trained himself to death before we got there.

He said, "The more I die, the stronger I get.

It is possible that he was killed by Elysium.

Anyway, his power had increased beyond compare, and he had grown to the point where even I, in my Suzaku form, could outperform him.

No, I'm just happy to know that everyone else is doing well too.

"How?　The actual "phoenix crest" as well as the "phoenix crest". I'm sure you can keep track of all of the women's situations, right?

Yes, I can. It seems that you and your friends are having a fierce battle.

I see. They are an extremely irresponsible group of people.

I stood up from the rubble and told Yomi, "That's not true.

Everyone believes in me. I'm sure I'll beat Elysium, and then we'll all return safely with Erma.

Nonsense. You, of all people, would have the gall to defeat my master?

"Yes, I do. Of course, it's not only my power. It will take the power of all the saints to defeat him now.

I see. So you'll defeat me and go on?

"Yes.

I nodded my head and Yomi snickered at me.

You have a lot of confidence, human. But your defeat is already decided. Your pathetic appearance is the best proof of that.

I nodded and said, "That's right," as I regenerated my body, including my armor.

You are much stronger than you used to be.

I'm not surprised. I have been using my unique ability, "Glow Resurrection," to the utmost limit since I fell behind you, and I kept repeating death and rebirth. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times. And now, I have the power to surpass even you.

I see. You are an amazing guy.

But," I said, releasing my Suzaku form.

You're mistaken about one thing.

"Mistake?"

Yeah, you're right. You've certainly gotten stronger. You've become so strong that your Suzaku form can no longer stand up to me.

Then...

Then... the suzak form is no match for you.

"...... what?"

I quietly tell Yomi, who raises her eyebrows quizzically.

Do you know when I learned the Suzaku form?　It was when I made Magmael ...... the saint of the staff my friend.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

She was the second saint I had ever taken on--that is, I hadn't acquired a new form since then. Aside from the Superior Arms, which unifies them.

What do you mean ......?"

I guess I didn't need to learn it. The actual "Superior Arms" is a very good way to get a good look at the newest and most popular weapons. I learned the Suzaku form simply because I wanted to move faster to help Magmel.

You mean to tell me that you're still "up there"?

Yes, I do. And I'm sure that I can invoke it right here and now. Of course, right?　After all, I have a lot of proud wives connected to me with phoenix seals!

"--?"

Gosh!　and I concentrate my spirit while being engulfed in intense flames.

Originally, I think the new form was supposed to be mastered in more stages.

But thanks to everyone's help, I have become so strong that I don't need them.

So, what I am going to do here is the strongest form that I can master, skipping all the steps along the way.

It is the ultimate battle form that can resist even the demons who receive the full benefit of it in this "Zetsu-kai" filled with "dirt.

"Take a good look. This is--"

Doban!　The floor caves in, and my flames change from crimson to silvery white.

"Ugh!

At that moment, Yomi's body was burned and she ran away from me.

In the midst of this, I put silver-white flames all over my body and said, "--Phoenix Form.

Phoenix form. I myself will become a purifying flame, a battle form for the demonic race.

"A battle form against demons, ......?

I advised her to be careful.

I'm like the sun, so to speak. If you get too close to me, you won't get burned, and I will continue to purify all the dirt just by being there. I told you, didn't I?　I will defeat you in a space free of dirt. If you still dare to challenge me, come at me, Sacrilege Sacrifice.

You monster!
