Chapter 631: The Red King of Battles (2/2)

The woman looked at her hands once, as if to check her own appearance, and looking away from Shea in front of her, she got down on both knees, clasping her hands together and closed her eyes, as if she's going to pray.

[……My mother whom I love and respect, Kuromueina. Forgive me, for I have returned to this foolish form again without your permission.]

[……You're full of gaps.]

As the praying woman's beautiful voice echoed, Shea didn't wait for her to make any further actions and immediately kicked off the ground, approaching the woman. She still hadn't understood what had just happened. However, her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was dangerous.

That's why, she wielded her scythe and swung it to the woman with all of her might while she was still exposed.

Without missing a beat, the scythe caught the woman's slender neck———— ”and shattered without piercing a single thin layer of her skin”.

[What!?]

Surprised that her attack was blocked even when she didn't defend, Shea immediately leapt backwards to get away from the woman.

It was a brilliant decision. However, it was already too late.

Immediately afterwards, Shea saw a clenched fist closing in on her…… crushing through the scythe Shea had created with magic power, the woman's absolute blow pierced through Shea's magic barrier like paper.

And with her strike————— The space burst apart.

With a simple swing of her fist, the floating island was obliterated and a huge cloud of dust was created. When the dust cleared up, Shea couldn't be seen anymore…… only the king reigning over the space.

[Ohhhhhhh!]

The woman…… Megiddo, who had regained her true form, roared and headed towards the nearest group of Gods with the speed of a beast unleashed from its cage.

Of course, the Gods immediately took a stance to fight back,  and even the high-ranking Gods, sensing the danger Megiddo brought, gathered to attack Megiddo in the dozens.

And at that moment————- The Gods learned what true tyranny is……

The blades swung, the spears thrusted, the arrows released, and the magic raining down upon her————– Much less scratch, not a single one of them dirtied Megiddo's body.

Huge shields, magical barriers filled with one's magic power, and power suited for defense————— Not allowing even a shred of resistance, everything was crushed by a single fist.

The Gods who were supposed to have been enormously strengthened by Shallow Vernal—————– All of them were swept away like insects.

She truly looked like a raging red beast…… The King of Battles. In ancient times, ”she turned a third of the Demon Realm into scorched earth”, and even though she had been defeated, ”she was someone capable of inflicting a slight wound on the hand of the serious Kuromueina”. She has the strongest power among those who are naturally born in this world, but she herself has sealed her true form, ”for she hated how this form couldn't bring battles, it could only bring slaughter”.

Her power that can only be suppressed by applying multiple layers of seals until her height, which is originally less than two meters, becomes more than ten meters, is now directed at the Gods.

As she knocks down the dead and resurrected Gods with even greater speed, Megiddo shouted.

[Oraaaa! Ozma! How long are you going to lazily fight like that…… Start getting serious!]

The moment those words were exclaimed, Ozma, who had been lowering his head, shuddered with joy. He usually refers to Megiddo Argetes Borgnes as ”Master”. This is because to him, Megiddo may be his king, but not his king at the same time……

For the knight Ozma, the man once known as the ”Ozma of the Storm”, who believed himself to be the strongest…… He only has one King, whether it's in the past or the future. It is her, the Incarnation of Tyranny, who easily shattered his pride, accumulated strength and firm confidence.

He admires the strength of his King, and thus, he decided to dedicate his life for that King. Just like his King, he sealed his own power…… only waiting for when she awakens.

And now, the royal decree that he had been waiting for has been given, bringing a strong light in the knight's eyes.

The wind blew, his stubble was trimmed off, and his shaggy hair was neatly swept back.

[As you wish, my King.]

There is no need for him to hesitate any longer. His King's order has arrived. All he needs to do now is to seriously fight, with all of his might…… Ozma, who had turned into a raging storm, went to the floating island where Megiddo was fighting and started exhibiting everything in his power.

Now, the scales of battle have greatly tilted, inclining towards the Human-Demon Allied Forces' side……

However, one must not forget. With Megiddo's actions, the Gods, who had the composure to only fight with their main goal of buying time for Shallow Vernal, were now given a reason to change their objective, moving towards elimination……

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Incidentally, the three people in the Demon Realm who knew Megiddo-san's true form were Kuro-san, Ein-san and myself……]

Serious-senpai : [……Rather than that, my other self was just easily eliminated, oi!]

? ? ? : [Ahh, it's alright. If the fact that it wasn't stated that Life-san's power didn't revive her wasn't stated, it could just be that she didn't even die in the first place…… She may have blown away really far though.]

Serious-senpai : [Was that……a great news? Well, anyway, it means the War King is awesome, isn't it?]

? ? ? : [Yes. By the way, Megiddo-san, in this form, doesn't use magic at all. It's a strong style that only uses her physical abilities to punch and kick, becoming a humanoid bullet with that body of her that had a freaking cheat-like attack and defense power.]
