Guardian of time

＜The magic clock (tel) pointed to 11:59:55.

　As Sasha and Misha look towards their origins, the magic of the Levide takes them to their roots in the past.

　＜The second hand of the Magic Clock (Tel) moved, indicating 56 seconds.

　Instantly the world turned white.

　The floor, the ceiling, the walls, everything was white.

　Another second or two passed.

　However, the second hand of the magic clock (tell) remained stationary.

　This place, this space, was isolated from the world.

You've arrived.

　At that moment, the empty space in front of me was torn open. The tip of a silvery white blade can be seen. It's as if the one who was hiding behind the space cut the curtain to come into this side.

　The object that cut through the space looks like an unusual spear from the tip of the blade alone, but I am well aware that it is a scythe.

''What is that...?''

　Sasha leaks out her words in surprise.

''.....I can't see the bottom of my magic power...''

　Misha says. 'This will be the first time she's encountered someone with so much magic she can't see the bottom of it, other than me.

'Stay focused on the origins. Magic isn't fully established yet. Besides, this guy is not someone you can handle.

　A wet hand appeared as if to widen the space he had cut up. It is wearing white gloves. It pried open the space with both hands and slowly appeared on this side.

　He was wearing a pure white hooded robe, and no matter how hard you looked into his magical eye, you could not see his face. Or maybe there is no such thing as a face.

''Hey. Anos, what is that...?

　Again, Sasha asks me.

"The Guardian of Time, Ego La Lavias. Simply put, he's the god who keeps the time order.

"....What....is God...?

　Stunned, Sasha let the words slip out.

'He's trying to change the past in a big way. God is the only one who will come out. They just can't stand the idea of time being out of order.

　Ego La Raviaz turns to me.

　Then, when he recognizes me, he says.

"--Xu Sanu--

　A solemn voice, just like that, made the space tremble violently.

''Ho. I've never met a talking individual before.''

　2,000 years from now, God will be different.

"Xu Sanu...

　Once again, Ego La Ravias speaks up.

'Hmm. It would be helpful if you could close your eyes, if you could?　Changing the past is simply saving one demon race. Or can't anyone, even a god, allow just one tragedy to disappear from this world?

Xu Sanu...

　If you try to change the past with magic, there is a supernatural force that tries to prevent it from happening.

　The order of this world, the laws of this world, or providence, are embodied in the Watchtower.

　The watchdog god of time, Eugo La Ravias, restores the order of time by removing the causes of changing the past.

　In other words, he tries to kill the sorcerers.

"Man, you're still so narrow-minded after 2,000 years, aren't you? You are so narrow-minded, even after 2,000 years, you still can't allow anyone but God to perform miracles as if they were your own personal property.

　They ignore the prayers of humans and trample the pride of the demon race.

　What is the value of a god who saves no one, who merely preserves order?

The rules of this world that you set for yourselves are unreasonable. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to follow those rules.

I forgive you for not wanting to disturb the flow of time. I will let the time judge thee.

　Eugo La Raviaz disappears with the light.

　The next thing I know, he's standing next to Ibis Necron crucified to the wall.

　What are you going to do?

"The Seven Devils' Grandfather, Ibis Necron...

　When Ego La Lavias held up his hand, the magic sword gadol came loose and rolled to the floor as if it were being played backwards.

　The skewered Ivis' face healed in a flash.

　The wound of the magic sword gadol could not be healed. He, who is the guardian god of time, turned back the time for Aivis.

　Before Gadol stabbed him, before he was burned by the Gio-Glaze.

　Thus, Aivis's body was completely healed.

　No, it was assumed that there were no wounds.

I give thee the power of the god of time. Thou shalt destroy Anos Voldigod--

　Eugo La Ravias turned into light and quickly disappeared, as if he was sucked into Ivis' body.

　The only thing left is the silvery white weapon he was holding in his hand, the .

''Hmph....''

　A low laugh sounds. It's from Ibis.

'You, indeed, did not expect this. "Anos Voldigord.

　Ibis holds the in his hand.

　A magic power that is incomparable to the one just now spilled out of his body.

''.....the power of God....''

　Misha muttered. As expected, he has a good magic eye.

　If you look into his abyss, you can see the magic power of the guardian god of time, Eugo La Ravias, overflowing from the source.

''The current Ego La Laviaz more efficiently eliminates the objects that disturb the order. ＜By empowering those who are opposed to the Time Manipulation (Levide) sorcerers.

　So the magic power of Eugo La Ravias is added to the magic power of Ibis.

　But that's not the point.

''Now, you said it, Ivis.

　At my words, Ivis doesn't react, just stares at me lazily.

'You're speaking as if you've seen the old Eugo La Ravias?

　Aivis must not have known about the existence of 　Then of course he couldn't have known about Ego La Lavias.

　In the unlikely event that he heard about it from the other Seven Demon Emperors after I showed him the Time Manipulation Levide, he would not be able to speak now.

　I knew it from the beginning. And he lied about it.

　It makes the most sense.

"What are you hiding?

You're going to die, so don't give a shit.

　Huh, kukku, oh dear, you make me laugh at times like this.

'Ha, ha, ha, ha. Are you going to die now?　Don't be so churlish with borrowed power. You'll know your vessel.

　He drew a magic circle in front of him and released the .

　The jet-black sun turned a tail of light like a comet and struck Aivis.

　However, he wielded the Time-God's Scythe and sliced the Geophysical Flame Annihilation Cannon in half.

　As if consumed by space-time, the jet black sun disappears in an instant.

　It wasn't an anti-magic, nor was it offset by offensive magic. ＜He turned back the time of the Jail Flame Annihilation Cannon (Gio-Glaze) and pretended it never happened.

No magic goes back in time and disappears. Your attacks will have no effect on me.

You look pretty happy, Ivis.

　I scoffed at him and he glared at me unpleasantly.

''It's only a matter of preventing one of your magic, what's that?　If you're going to win, you're going to look at me like it's only natural to do that.

　He continued to draw six magicians and fired six rounds of the Geophysical Flame Annihilation Cannon.

"Gazelta.

　Wielding his scythe, Ivis deploys a magical barrier in front of him. ＜The Retroactive Barrier (Gazelta) rewinds the magical time that touched it back to the state it was in before it occurred. It pretends the magic never happened. It's an almost invincible shield against magic. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's all well and good to be strong, but how do you plan to break through the magical barrier that turns back time?

　Huh, I snorted.

'What's funny?'

I already broke through.

　The moment he speaks, six appear inside the magic barrier of Ivis.

''What....?

　The jet-black sun enveloped his body and his body flared up in black.

The Gazelta is a magical barrier that rewinds magical time. An ordinary Gazelleta will disappear as soon as you touch it, but if you shoot the time-reversing Gazelleta, that's what happens.

　The time-reversing Gio-Glaze is usually useless. Since it goes backwards in time, it has no effect on the world at all, which means that no magic is produced. However, the Gazelta rewinds the regressive time. In other words, it has correctly turned back the time and changed it to a state where magic has arisen.

　In short, the first six rounds of the Jail Flame Annihilation Cannon were a decoy. I hid the fact that I had already fired six time-reversing Gio-Grays. Of course, I'm using a layer of time manipulation (Levide) to reverse the magic time.

''Instead of borrowing the power of Ego La Raviers, you don't have enough prep for the concept of time, do you?

　A low voice comes back from the center of the dark flames.

'Indeed it seems so. I have underestimated you.'

　＜The Gio-Glaze disappears. Ibis is unharmed.

"But now that I have the power of Ego La Lavias, I am immortal. I cannot be harmed.

　Ego La Lavias is the god of time. He can turn back or speed up the time of his own body at will. He can turn back or speed up the time of his body at will, and if he is injured, he can only turn it back if he stops the time of his body.

　It is eternal and immortal. So, having gained this power, Ibis is also immortal.

　If you want to take on Ego La Lavias, you only have one target....

I know what I'm doing. This is what you want.

　Ibis raises the . Even with my Time Manipulation (Levide), I can't control the time of Ego La Lavias' body, the guardian god of time. However, with the Time God's Scythe, this is possible.

　Only the Time God's Scythe, which he carries, can limit the time of the eternal Time God's guardian.

"I'm afraid I won't let you have your way.

　He spun around and pointed the Time God's Scythe at himself and thrust the tip of the blade into his stomach.

"Je-Izem.

　A three-dimensional magic circle covers Ivis' entire body.

　His skeletal body takes on a silvery white glow, and sharp blades appear on both arms.

　＜He fused with the Time God's Scythe.

What do you think we should do now?　Now my weaknesses are gone.

　Normal fusion magic has a time limit, but it wouldn't matter as long as he had gained the power of Eugo La Lavias.

　Now he couldn't use to defeat Ivis.

　On top of that, his magic power has been swelled by more than ten times with the Jae IZEM magic tool fusion.

And your weaknesses are nowhere to be seen.

　Ivis waved both sharp arms assimilated with the scythe with all his might.

　I deployed my anti-magic with all my might, as if to build a wall against the huge slash from a long distance, as if to cut through the ground from the sky.

　A fierce spark of magic and anti-magic colliding with a bang is scattered.

　His target is Misha and Sasha--

"Hmm. It's strange. It's strange that you're willing to destroy the important vessel for the reincarnation of an ancestor. Can you make it as easy as possible again? Or--

　Ivis didn't respond to my words and put more magic in both arms.

''Do you have any reason to kill me by breaking the vessel I prepared for you?

I don't think we have time to talk about it. It's already been reversed.

　With a bang, the first layer of anti-magic I deployed shatters.

''Great stuff. ＜You who are using the Demon King's Army (Guys) are under the influence of the Demon King's class characteristics. Your total magic power should be reduced by about 30%. At the end of the day, he supplies them with enough magic power to use the Time Manipulation (Levide), and controls the use of magic for the two of them. And yet, you can still endure my blow that has gained the power of a god to this extent.

　A giggling sound was heard and the second layer of anti-magic shattered.

''......Anosu....!

.......

　Sasha and Misha look at me with worried eyes.

''That's very kind of you. ＜You haven't finished altering the past with the , have you?　No matter how skilled the help of those who are skilled, origin magic is difficult to control. It's best to give up on it sooner rather than later and leave it at the mercy of its own limbs.

　Ivis is right, the

''Although, even without the footman, the result would be the same.

　With a biggie, the third layer of anti-magic was destroyed.

　Only the fourth layer of anti-magic remained.

''......Anosk, that's enough!　If it goes on like this, we're all going to die. Even if it's just you...!

Run.

　Sasha and Misha say.

'Hmm, dear, that's why. You can't believe I'm the founder if you think I'm going to lose in any case.

We don't have time for that...

'Don't worry. I'm just stalling for time until you guys can complete your origin magic.

　Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, a thunderous sound rang out and the last anti-magic was broken through.

'Well done, you've been that vain. But it's over.

　Ivis raises the scythe in both arms wide.

　Immediately I re-stretch my anti-magic on Misha and Sasha.

'I knew you would defend those two to the end, Anos Voldigord.

　A moment ago, the voice of Ivis, who was at a distance, echoed in my ear.

　Accelerating his own time and approaching me in almost zero seconds, Ivis had thrust his right arm into my abdomen.

'You've neglected your own anti-magic.

　The Scythe of the God of Time that resides in Ivis's arm is driving my body's time out of whack.

"Be swallowed up in eternal time and disappear.

　A silvery white light surrounds me and time accelerates. One billion years - ten billion years - no, eternity is piled on top of each other in an instant. Even the body of a demon king, it cannot survive infinite time. It will eventually decay and disappear.

　At the same time as the light flashed, the body that had passed through an eternity of time disappeared and died out.

　What do you think?　And now you know, you foolish founder. You cannot change your destiny. When you became my immortal, or rather, when you ran away from the battle two thousand years ago, this is how it was supposed to be today!

　Hmm. Well, I'll be d*mned. Finally, you've said what you really think.

'I don't know why you have the memories while erasing the past, but apparently you didn't forget about me, Ivis.

　From behind, I gently put my hand on his shoulder.

　Ivis looked like he couldn't believe it and slowly turned to me.

''Wha.......?　I'm pretty sure he's dead....

　Ivis was born just as the battle was about to end.

　Even though he was a demon race in the age of mythology, he didn't know about true magical warfare.

''Did you think I would die just because I killed you?

　Ibis uses his magic eye. But he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve. I've just been slaughtered.

Don't look so surprised. I just used my ingal.

　The body may perish, but the source of magic, the demonic root, will remain there. Those who have mastered magic will be able to use magic only from that source. That's why the detached work of reincarnation can be achieved. Within three seconds of death, you can certainly revive your body.

''But...!

　Ivis moved instantly and fled to a position about one hundred and twenty meters behind me.

　A magic circle is drawn at his feet, and from there the silver and white world spreads at once. This is the great magic that stops the time of all things. A spherical silver-white ward that spread out in a spherical shape. If you step inside it, everything stops. Not just for an instant, but forever.

''Hmm. This is indeed a mythical magic, isn't it?

　I stepped out loosely in a world where time had stopped.

'Nah......'

Did you think stopping time was going to stop me in my tracks?

"Nonsense...!　Why aren't we stopping?　Why?!

　Ivis is desperate to put his magic into it. But it's in vain.

　The magical eye of destruction that floats in my eyes. What you see in this vision destroys not only everything, but even magic. This magical eye is the ultimate anti-magic.

You're going to be able to find out what this is....what is this magic....　＜I am using the magic of the Demon King's Army (Guys). Even with the two of you at your heels, you're still far superior to me, who have gained the power of a god...?　It's impossible. No way...?　

You forget where you are, Ibis.

　As I said this, I walked straight to Ivis.

"I'll show you what it's like to challenge the Demon King in his castle.

　Poof, a particle of black light rises in the place.

　In the next moment, countless grains of light increase and fill the room.

　A number of magic letters are drawn on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

　The Demon King's Castle reveals its true form. Anos Volgård's most powerful magic tool.

　As a huge three-dimensional magic circle...
