The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)

“…….Arnos my mom is—”

Ray is cut off in the middle of speaking as Melheys cancels <Rimnet>.

“Fumu. Bit of panic there Melheys cutting the magic like that but it’s already too late.”

“Really? I wonder about that? Everything inside <Azeishis> is my territory. Even you cannot travel back and forth between different dimensions without a landmark.”

<Beno Ieven> appears all around me again.

“As you can see I have more of <Beno Ieven> in storage. Do you think Ray Grandori who’s lost his sword can defeat this? Now I’ve cancelled <Rimnet> how are you going to follow my magic power to the dimension he’s in and cast anti-magic?”

“Your point is?”

“Surely you can see that only the hostage has changed? Your actions and the actions of Ray Grandori were all meaningless. Even his mother’s death was meaningless.”

“Really? The thing is, thanks to that meaningless waste I now have the means to attack you.”

“Another bluff like last time. I won’t be fooled again. Act like an adult and sign the Contract <Zekt> and save the life of Ray Grandori.”

<Zekt> magic is deployed in front of my eyes. In exchange for all my remaining magic, Ray will not be touched is written on it.

“I’ll give you three seconds. Three.”

Melheys starts counting down as if to threaten me.

“Two.”

“Fumu. Look behind you Melheys.”

“I’m not playing your games. One.”

Ignoring my words he continues.

“Zer———Guhaa………Gaaaa……….!?”

“I told you to turn around Melheys. I’ve captured you now.”

I immediately capture his magic by force and cross dimensions using Transfer <Gatom>. My world dyes white and the figure of Melheys appears before me.

My left arm that had been severed was now grasping onto his right shoulder.

“……..Impossible………Your arm was severed by Initeio. Magic shouldn’t be working yet………How the hell have you managed to cast magic on it………?”

“Magic? What are you saying? Did you think my arm would stop moving just because it was cut off?”

“………..Kuu. You’ve strayed quite far from common sense there……”

Opening a magic gate Melhey’s tries to escape but I follow him with <Gatom>.

Melheys appears in another dimension and I appear soon after.

“It doesn’t matter where you run to. As long as my arm is attached to you I can follow you anywhere.”

I’ve marked my arm with magic so no matter where he goes in his <Azeishis> I’ll just follow him with <Gatom>. I mean it would be a real pain if he ran away. After seeing that he wasn’t cautious about my arm at all I waited for an opportunity to grab him with it.

“Now then. What now?”

I tried to provoke Melhey’s but he disappeared into his gate magic again so I just followed with <Gatom>.

The next moment a jet black aurora appeared in front of my eyes. A large amount of <Beno Ieven> was here and it immediately attacked me.

Wearing anti-magic I confronted the raging wave and an intense sound of magical powers rang out.

“This is where I store all the <Beno Ieven> I acquired.”

Using my demon eyes I can see Melheys standing behind the black aurora. Only the corner he was standing in was a safe zone.

“Because you blindly believed that my only option left was to escape you followed me with no caution. This is the end Arnos-sama. Preparations to defeat you are finally complete.”

Melheys waves the Kings Sceptre.

All the magic power in the surroundings is compressed around me.

The wall that divided the world is now trying to crush me.

“Your pride ends here. It never occurred to you that your power would be below the level of magic I had stored here did it?. You were always going on about how you would beat me. Let me teach you something nice to take into your next life. That arrogance of yours is why you lost.”

Is there a reason he has to speak in such an exaggerated manner? It is true though that if I relaxed my anti-magic I’d disappear in an instant.

“It’s useless. It’s good if you think like that. I absorbed half of your magic with the absorption bracelet and if we add on what you’ve expended since then you’re down to about 30%. Half of the power I absorbed from you is stored in this sceptre.”

My magic power pops and my anti-magic layers are destroyed one after another.

“If we assume two people fight and they are the same but one has 50% and the other has 30% then even a child will understand the outcome. If I then add my magic to that 50% you have no chance of winning!!”

Though I put all my power into my anti-magic <Beno Ieven> is constantly crushing it by condensing itself over me. The aura of darkness has become a shrinking globe that completely covers me and is getting smaller every moment.

“Well well. I thought you’d disappear in an instant but you really live up to the name of the demon king of tyranny, however, you have almost no magic left.”

In a coup de grace Melheys pours all his power and the power from the sceptre into <Beno Ieven> in one go.

The black sphere emits an ominous light and causes my anti-magic to shrink.

“Goodbye demon king of tyranny Arnos Voldigod-sama.”

The globe compressed so much it was unable to keep its shape and cracked letting out more streaks of ominous light. The next moment a black explosion detonated.

“Your era is over. No, it was already over 2000 years ago.”

The black explosion settles and the aurora fades away. Melheys was gazing at the spectacle and soaking in the lingering feeling of victory.

“Fumu. I’d like to hear more about that.”

Melhey’s eyes open wide at that voice.
