The Confrontation of Two Flame Emperors ( 2 )

"... I'll kill you, devil"

Demiurge who saw Agravain's true power could only be open-mouthed, he did not think that while he was carrying out a mission from his lord he would meet a creature as strong as Agravain.

'This is bad, this human is hiding his power using an item, I did not expect to meet someone whose strength could be parallel to the Guardian Floor in a place like this. Also, he's a swordsman ... '

Although he considers his strength to be no lower than Agravain's, Demiurge

very anxious right now, that's because the human in front of him right now seemed to be someone who fought relying on physical attacks, and that was his biggest weakness.

Demiurge is the type of person who would choose to retreat when meeting an opponent who he was not sure could defeat. However, this time he had been so careless that he did not realize that the human in front of him had been hiding his true power all the time

'Then there is no choice but to leave here. '

However, before Demiurge could use [Greater Teleportation] to escape, in an instant, Agravain had slid towards Demiurge while drawing a black sword on his waist.

"I won't let you go! Hahahaha !!!" Agravain said with a crazy laugh.

* Swing *

'Damn, it won't have time. '

Demiurge who felt that he would not have time to cast Greater Teleportation, crossed his arms while jumping up.

"[Aspect of the Devil: Razor Sharp]"

In an instant, Demiurge's devil's claws extended to tens of centimeters, which made him look scary, but ... even though Demiurge jumped up, Agravain immediately changed the direction of the slash using the roof of the house as a pedestal.

* Tap *

* Clang *

Sparks spread into the air as Agravain's black sword struck Demiurge's Claws. The impact of the slash caused Demiurge to bounce up quite far.

' Very strong! '

"Tck, [Aspect of the Devil: Tentacle Wings]!"

As he bounced into the air Demiurge wasted no momentum and a pair of bat wings grew on his back. And from the wings the feathers as hard as steel shot towards Agravain who was falling, like hundreds of bullets.

And intending to create a few seconds so that he can teleport ... However, Agravain did not look panicked, he instead spread his hands and on it appeared a small black flame like when he slaughtering the entire Spriggan race before.

"Don't you think you can keep your distance from me! [Extinction Fire: Dragon Form]!"

Then, in contrast to before, after the black flame was blown, it immediately formed a Dragon that glided towards Demiurge while melting the steel feathers that were fired at him.

"[Great-"

However, before Demiurge finished casting his spell, Agravain's black dragon had already arrived before him and Demiurge evaded it quickly.

'Damn it! He didn't give me time to cast the Teleportation spell. '

And, while Demiurge was in his mind, Agravain wasted no opportunity.

* Fwuossh *

"Where are you looking at, devil !!!"

With a cruel grin, Agravain immediately slid towards Demiurge and unhesitatingly released two successive slashes towards him.

* Clang *

* Clang *

Luckily, Demiurge was able to hold him using both claws, but he had to bounce to the ground very hard

"* Cough *"

'Bastard! Did he just hurt me. Only this time I was cornered, and by a human !!! ??? I guess there's no choice but to use it! '

Demiurge collapsed on the ground, but he quickly stood up and cleaned the dust on his wear, he was also seen removing some sort of object from his pocket.

Because he could not use [Flight] magic or possess wings like Demiurge, Agravain who had lost momentum in the air had to be forced to stop attacking and land on the ground easily.

"Hahaha !!! What's up, devil? Is the game over! Where's the strength that you were proud of before, DEMIURGE !!!"

Agravain said while laughing out loud and with a cruel grin on his face. A trait that is inversely proportional to its usual nature, someone who is quiet and continuously puts on a stoic expression.

This time Agravain looks more like a bastard, a battle maniac, and someone with a dirty mouth.

"Heh! Do you think you've won, Human."

"Of course, you are very weak in my eyes."

Demiurge who heard Agravain's insult changed his expression, his gaze held back and he could no longer hold the hatred inside him. He did not feel that he would win against humans in front of him, but his demonic pride had now been tarnished and held him back. However, Demiurge wasn't that crazy to fight to the death just because of his pride, he was not a fool.

'For now, I must think of a way to retreat first. '

Before Demiurge began his attack, Agravain's voice sounded more serious.

"Well, a battle is still a battle, and I will finish this battle as a knight."

Agravain's words made Demiurge confused. Agravain then straightened his body and pointed his black sword vertically in front of his chest, he then said.

"I, Agravain son of Lot, swear my pride as a Knight, will kill the Devil in front of me with my sword."

And when Agravain said that, Demiurge had completed two spells at once and activated the item in his hand.

"[Flames of Gehenna]."

After chanting the spell, a wall of colorful illusionary fires surrounded the area where Agravain and Demiurge fought. Flames of Gehenna are illusory spells that have the effect of increasing attributes for demons within their area of ​​use. Additionally, if its use is desired, this spell can create an illusion that hides the battles that occur inside undetected.

" At first I didn't want to use the item Ulbert-sama gave me in this place, but ... '

"[Armaggeddon Evil]"

After that, Demiurge's six-handed demon-shaped Item released a reddish-black aura, like a Gate.

And from within the Gate, hundreds of low-level devils appear who are heading towards Agravain. Agravain who saw that frowned.

'What does he want to do by summoning these weak Demons? '

And, because the level difference was very far, Agravain then only used his basic slash.

However, Demiurge himself did not expect anything from the weaklings he summoned, but at least it would buy enough time for him to retreat.

Demiurge then prepared a fairly large spell.

Meanwhile, Agravain who cut down the weak demons in front of him looked as excited as before.

* Swing *

Each blow launched by Agravain killing dozens of low-level devil it. However, over time Agravain began to get annoyed because the demons continued to arrive at him like ants.

Even though he might not be affected by significant damage if slashed by the Devils, their hands and their bodies trying to hold him interfered with his movements, he had tried to break through but the Devils kept coming as if they were endless.

'Tck, these demons are disturbing. '

And, without realizing it, while he was busy dealing with the demons that surrounded him, Demiurge was seen preparing a large spell, but before shooting the spell, he said to Agravain.

"Looks like our fight has to be postponed, Human."

Agravain, who heard that, shouted.

"Oi, where do you want to go!"

"At the next meeting, I'll kill you with my own hands."

Demiurge then stretched his arms forward and cast a spell.

"[Meteor Fall]"

And as he said that, a large magic circle appeared in the sky, and in an instant, a meteor appeared from the magic circle and fell directly towards Agravain.

Meteor Fall is a spell that seemed to level ten name, the making of a meteor falling towards the target set. By using the Flames of Gehenna, this meteor might not be visible from the outside, but the impact that will be caused by it will definitely create a huge destruction.

Seeing the meteor falling towards him Agravain was in a dilemma, he realized that Demiurge was trying to escape by teleporting, on the other hand, if he ignored the meteor that fell at this time, then you could imagine the damage it would take, besides that the forest would also be destroyed and would disturb Nash future progress of the plan.

In addition, the use of his Camelot Authority would only exacerbate the impact of the fall of the meteor.

'I think I should delay killing him first and destroy this damn meteor. '

Agravain then brandished his sword at Demiurge and said.

"Hey Devil, at our next meeting, I'll be cutting off your head! Remember that!"

Hearing Agravain statement, Demiurge only laugh before grinning Agravain cruel and reply speech.

"Upcoming meeting, you will not be able to laugh like that again!"

Then, Demiurge said.

"[Greater Teleportation]"

Then the Demiurge body light up in blue, and disappeared from the spot.

Agravain who saw that then sighed. He then sheathed his sword and stretched his arms up. And let out his strongest magic.

"[Maximize Extinction ...

... Fire] "

With that one strike, a huge black wave of fire was blown towards the meteor and immediately scorched it so that nothing remained.

Even the ashes are gone carried by the wind. After Meteor disappeared, the walls of illusion that surrounds the village Snakemen also gradually disappearing.

Sensing that the battle was over, Agravain who was just standing there thought.

'I must report this to Nash-sama. '

Then, Agravain brought the corpse from Manu lying headless on the ground. And on the same day, the monitoring expedition was declared a failure and claimed one death.

***

"Huh ... a Devil who can even match Agravain huh? No ... the word ' match ' is actually not quite right because Agravain hasn't used his trump card, Camelot Authority, but still the power of an LV 100 NPC like Agravain cannot be underestimated. Although he is the weakest among the Floor Guardians for direct combat. "

Nash murmured while thinking about the clues he got from the report given by Agravain. However, he can only conclude a few things that it seems like this Devil named Demiurge has some business in Abellion Hills, and Nash doesn't know what that business is.

Especially the fact that he intentionally implanted Imp larvae into one of the Zoastians strengthened Nash's conclusion.

When Nash was busy in his mind, suddenly there was a knock on the door of his room.

"Come in."

After hearing confirmation from Nash, the door opened and displayed a beautiful figure of Merlin wearing her usual clothes.

"All preparations are complete, Nash-sama. Are we leaving now?"

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, Merlin."

"Your praise is very valuable to me, Nash-sama."

Nash then took a leather bag on a table that seemed to only contain a book and a map of the world.

"Before that, what information did you get from the Imp?"

Hearing Nash's words, Merlin then made a sad face and said.

"That little imp is really unfortunate, it seems like a spell has been implanted in his body that can kill him if he issues an information regarding the secrecy of his master, so when I was in the best time of 'interrogating', his body exploded into shards of flesh."

Merlin's face turned red as she said her last sentence, she then made an annoyed expression and seemed to bite her nails, saying.

"Oh, I feel bad when I see that poor Imp become minced meat and spread on the ground."

"You like monsters as usual, don't you?"

Nash said with a smile. He said that because he personally witnessed when FireisHot wrote some character settings to Merlin. Actually, FireisHot and Nash are very close, they often spend time together and do Raid with just the two of them if the other members are busy.

According to Nash, FireisHot is a very strange person and acts like a child. And that because she is a genius. Her presence was greatly respected by players at Yggdrasil, especially the fact that she was the Strongest Player in Yggdrasil.

Hearing Nash's words, Merlin then said with a sweet smile.

"Um, I really like them, whatever monsters I like it, no exception."

Merlin said, but somehow Nash felt that in an instant Merlin glanced at him. But because it was so vague, Nash just ignored it. Then, Merlin said.

"But, before the magic activated and blew up his body, there was a word that came out of his mouth ..."

"Hmm ... what is that?"

"Re-Estize."

Hearing that, Nash widened his eyes at first. Before he laughed out loud that made Merlin confused in front of him.

"Eh? What's wrong, Nash-sama?"

"No, I'm sorry ..."

Nash then returned to his usual expression and smiled faintly.

"Before we leave, will you call Sir Lancelot and Sir Mordred to my room?"

"Eh? Of course, but what for?"

"There is an assignment I want to give them."

Nash smiled, that was because he had a bit of a hunch and a hint from the results of the interrogation conducted by Merlin before, which might guide the origin of the Devil named Demiurge and the whereabouts of the Player in this world.

***

In a dark room, you can see a devil standing so staggered that he has to hitch up his body using the wall.

"* Cough *"

That demon was Demiurge who had escaped the battle against Agravain. Although he himself intended to trap Agravain, in the end due to his own negligence he had swallowed a major defeat and was forced to flee.

"That human, he hurt me pretty badly, damn it!"

However, Demiurge's body regeneration speed was astounding, which made the wounds and fractures in his back heal in an instant.

"Should I report this problem to Ainz-sama now? ... No, no, I do not want to ruin Ainz-sama's plans by adding unnecessary problems, at least for now,  I had to investigate the background of the man before reporting it to Ainz-sama. Just look at you, Agravain son of Lot, your body will be ripped, chopped, and burned with my fire. You will feel worse than death. "

Demiurge clenched his fists, imagining when he would kill Agravain at the next meeting. Then, his expression became serious and he tidied up his red tie while saying.

"But before that, it seems like I will have to move my" Farm "position a little to avoid unnecessary danger."
