The Great War Recurs – 3
While Margo was observing the battlefield from his private room, the General of the Demon clan stepped forward to confront the Dragon-powered Female Knight.
“Dissolve, human–”
As the demon Narbam chanted his spell, a pale yellow mist spread around him.
The mist, created from the immense magical power of an [Ancient Lich], had an extremely corrosive nature that could not be defended against.
The billowing mist covered a wide area, making escape impossible.
“Checkmate.”
“Where?”
Facing the triumphant Narbam, Violetta simply snorted.
“[Dragon Breath Explosion]!”
She swung her Holy Sword horizontally, firing a brilliant beam of light.
The slashing force also created a strong wind that blew away the poisonous mist.
“My Dragon’s Breath Will Block And Neutralize All Your Poison.”
Closing her blue eyes slightly with a smug expression, Violetta adjusted her stance and used another skill.
“[Fire Dragon Breath Slash]!”
“Kuh…!”
The counterattack was executed so swiftly it was hard to predict. Narbam couldn’t dodge Violetta’s wave of fire and was pushed back.
“Too strong. Far beyond the realm of humans–”
Narbam couldn’t help but praise his opponent.
“But I will still win. Now my power is equal to, no, surpasses the 13 old Commanders of the Demon King’s Army. This time — I’ll use my full strength…!”
“Oh? It Would Be Rude Not To Respond With Full Force. You’re No Small Fry After All… Fufufu.”
Violetta raised her Holy Sword [Io].
“GAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!”
She roared, not at all like a young girl.
The Holy Sword vibrated in response.
The brilliant light now shone even brighter, illuminating the entire area.
“Here I Come–!”
Violetta shouted valiantly, charging straight towards her enemy.
“Vanish!”
At the same time, the Undead King fired a beam of darkness.
As soon as it reached Violetta, the dark beam was split in two by her radiant blade.
Not only that, the slash also sent a beam of light back in retaliation.
“AAA…!?”
Part of Narbam’s cloak was cut, and Violetta had already closed in on him.
Another slash came down.
Fortunately, this one only hit his cloak as well.
However, the shockwave from the attack still affected Narbam, forcing him to retreat and maintain distance.
“I-impossible…! Why are you so strong–”
“The Power Of [Light] Is Will! I Had To Walk Behind Hero Yuno. I Lost To Demon King Virgarodomus And Was Defeated. I Was Bitter, I Hated, I Was Angry At My Helplessness, So I Craved Power — [Light] Responded And Awakened!”
The Dragon maiden replied and closed in once again.
Narbam was slashed, the part of his body that came into direct contact with the Holy Sword completely disappeared, and what’s more, it was gradually being eroded.
“Impossible… my eternal body…”
“My Sword Cuts Even Eternity! That’s All!”
—
“At this rate, the girl will probably sweep through the entire Demon Army.”
Margo sighed.
“Moreover, if we let the Hero rampage like this, when I appear later to fight the Demon Army, I won’t receive much fame… looks like I’ll have to enter the battlefield earlier than planned.”
Then he stood up and embraced Isabel and Rosa.
He brought his face close and forcibly kissed them.
“…!”
The two girls showed clear disgust but couldn’t resist due to being under a spell.
They repeatedly wiped their lips with the back of their hands while tears of humiliation rolled down their cheeks.
“Kukuku, I am the one who will be recorded in history books as the greatest Hero. Consider it an honor to be by my side.”
Margo was excited by the aftertaste of the kiss.
(It won’t be long now, beautiful women all over this world will yearn for me, not just these two girls.
Yes, after I save the world from the remnants of the Demon clan, the legend of the immortal Hero will be preserved for eternity–)
Margo couldn’t contain his joy at this thought…
—
Margo rode a Wyvern to fly near the battlefield.
Although he had just returned not long ago, because the power of the participating Hero had exceeded expectations, he was forced to intervene urgently.
The landing point was a hill not far from the front lines of both sides.
Since he had used one of the fastest means of transportation in the world, he arrived just in time before the battle between Violetta and Narbam concluded.
The Female Knight was sweeping through the Demon clan in pursuit of the Undead King.
“Letting you claim victory here would be troublesome for me, Violetta.”
Margo had climbed down from the Wyvern and was observing the battlefield while muttering.
Then, he drew his sword.
The high-grade Magic weapon that came with Margo’s title of Hero Knight – [Thunder King – Swift Wind 77 Forms].
“O [Light] dwelling in my sword.”
Whoosh!
A pale green wind swirled around the sword after Margo’s chant ended.
Not just the Hero, but teammates in the same group also received a portion of [Light] from that Hero.
Of course, Margo was no exception.
However, the [Light] received was only a fraction compared to the Hero’s.
Margo had found a way.
To make that weak [Light] surpass the Hero’s.
And he had discovered it.
Inside the ancient ruins, the [Dark Altar] could help him achieve great power.
Margo raised his sword.
“I will seal your power with this ability, Hero!”
And brought it down.
“[Chaos Slumber]–”
White and black light intertwined and shot out like a snake from the sword.
As soon as it approached its target, Violetta, it wrapped around her and took effect.
“Huh, What Is This–!?”
Violetta stopped abruptly in confusion.
“Ah… No… guu… zzz…”
Unable to react in time, her body gradually went limp and collapsed.
Violetta had fallen into a deep sleep.
Although her power could resist [Darkness], it couldn’t resist [Light].
After all, [Light] was an ally–
Therefore, Margo’s technique that combined [Light] and [Darkness], [Chaos], could easily overcome her resistance.
Of course, in a confrontation, Margo would certainly face difficulties–
But a sneak attack was a different story.
“Violetta Mezza. Your power may have nearly reached [Ark]. But it’s still not enough.”
Margo stood on the hill, raising the corner of his mouth in a sinister smile.
“I have been honing my power to counter Yuno’s [Ark] all this time, your incomplete [Ark] is child’s play. Your achievements end here, Violetta.”
Margo pointed his sword to the sky.
The blade emitted a dazzling light.
“Now it’s my turn. The legend of Hero Margo Resqueda begins here–“
