Are you two okay?

Naturally, I immediately ask them if they're okay.

"Hey, ......!"

I'm sorry, I was careless. ......

Magmael, go and apply the healing technique to the two of them.

"Yes, I understand.

Magmael nodded and ran to them.

After confirming this, I looked again at King Vael.

I saw the king's left arm transformed into something like a tail.

I was surprised to see this," he said. If it had been a normal human, the blow would have killed him instantly, but as expected of a saint.

Haha, this level of attack is nothing to sneeze at!　　I've been in a fight with the most powerful man on earth!

The same goes for the right. It was a heavy, sharp blow, but nothing to be cowed by. Know that there will be no next time."

I was relieved to see the two of them looking surprisingly healthy while being healed by Magmael.

Then, King Vael looked at me and said, "Hmmm.

"Hmmm...could it be that the 'strongest man on earth' she is referring to is you?

Well, just in case.

Hinoka!　The king of Va'el saw this and said, "I see.

King Vael saw this and nodded, "I see," he said.

So you are the 'fire god's messenger. Now I understand. I had thought you were just a baggage handler for the saints.

I mean, I'm treated like a baggage handler everywhere, aren't I?

Well, I can't help it.

I get that a lot. What is your power?　Is it something that's not human?

Yes, that's right. It's quite interesting, isn't it?

With these words, King Vael returned his left arm to its original state.

I thought it might be some kind of transformation skill or technique, but apparently not.

This is an application of Berkoua's homunculus technology.

'After all, you have already acquired our technology, haven't you?

Yes, of course. Yes, of course. We were not interested in homunculi, however, because we wanted a technology that would allow us to incorporate base information into the body.

What do you mean by that?"

Xana raised her eyebrows quizzically, but King Vael smiled with his usual easygoing smile.

You already know what I mean, don't you?　Your technology has helped me evolve into something other than a man.

Thus,' he said, raising his right arm, which was muscular and large, like a Great Ogre.

No, his arm was two times thicker than the actual Great Ogre.

"You can't be serious. ......

Yes, that's right, no way. I have taken into my body all kinds of information about demons. Of course, at first I almost died from rejection, but then it stopped and I realized, "Oh, I've been accepted by the demons.

I think you meant to say "hijacked."

I said sarcastically, but of course King Vael didn't care.

I was sure they needed a king, too. And I was chosen to be that king.

King Va?l swung his enlarged arm, "So to speak.

I am the "Demon King". That is what I, Vael a Rastor, should be.

With a thud!　The impact of the thrust made a huge hole in the wall.

It is as powerful as it looks, but it is not so fast that you can't avoid it.

Zana, cover me!

Yeah, I got it!

We simultaneously jump to the left and right, and then launch a suicide attack on King Vael.

--Dang!

But as expected of the king of demons, his legs immediately change to those of a different demon, and his movement speed increases dramatically.

Phalanx Blow!"

--Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

While wall-running and dodging Xana's barrage of blows, King Vael brings his arms together to recreate the head of a dragon species and converges some kind of energy body around its mouth.

But there was no way he was going to let such a thing loose in such a confined space.

I won't let you!

--Zusha!

What the hell?

I also run along the wall, and transform my Hinokaguzuchi into a large sword, which I put into his mouth.

Now!

Oh! Oh!

And as if in response to my cry, the revived Arka and Ophir attacked simultaneously on both sides.

--"Zashu!

Gah!

Everyone, move away!　--Grand Tempest Fang!

"!"

In addition, Magmel follows up with a wind attribute jutsu technique that he learned from Lady Tulbaugh.

--Dohiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Goooooooooooo!"

King Vael, whose body was torn to shreds by the torrent of wind, was buried in the crumbling rubble as if he had hit the ceiling wall as it was.

Did he do it? ......

As we watched with alarm, a figure suddenly appeared out of the rubble.

He was a man of great talent. It looks like it's going to be difficult to win with the way things are going.

Then it would be great if you'd give up around here?"

I'm afraid I can't do that. I have a purpose.

...... purpose?　The king of Wael snapped his fingers while we wrinkled our brows.

And then....

「「「「「--Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

「「「「「--What!?」」」」」

The attendants and guards, who had thought they had evacuated long ago, were transformed one after another into demons.
