Chapter 3 – Battle with the Demon Lord
“I’ll start once again. Cover me!”
If this situation continues, we will likely to be led to Beatrice’s pace again.
I who judged it jumped out knowing the disadvantage.
Even if it’s a waste of efforts, we must make our opponent focus in defense or evasion.
“Uooooooooh!”
I approached Beatrice with all my might, and try to stab her in with my momentum.
At this speed, even if it’s prevented by that flaming vortex, it was sure to reach her before the sword melts.
Did she sense it? She chose to avoid instead of defending it.
But then, the succubi backed me up after she evaded my previous attack.
Of course, they also knew that they would get a countered with the same attack as before.
“You can’t trick me with the same thing twice!”
As to respond to that, the succubus who is also a magic user came from behind, and casted a stone magic towards Beatrice.
A number of sharply pointed stones came flying to her.
I see, with that, the stones will not be easily burnt by that high temperature.
However, Beatrice was going further above our expectations.
“Hmph, you think the magic I can use is only fire?”
She waved her hand, then suddenly, the floor of the room broke.
Parts of the floor turned up into stones of different sizes and shapes, flipping their ends towards us.
However, this is also a chance for us.
I sneaked around the shadows of the biggest stones.
“This is MY Demon Lord Castle. My field, my dominion. You think you can bring me down so easi- Nn?”
Tch, I was found out, but now that I got this close……!
I cut up Beatrice with my sword from the bottom.
“Kuh, insolent elf!”
She blocked it with her arm in that span of time, but it should be cut along the way.
However, contrary to my expectations, it was hampered by something hard.
“Fool. did you think I wasn’t wearing any protection?”
I was surprised, but I jumped back immediately and took distance.
And I became even more surprised to see the spot I should have cut.
The slash made a cut through the part covered by her gloves, causing her bare skin to be revealed from the cut cloth.
She doesn’t have a protective gear like I imagined.
In other words, she received my attack with just her pure defensive power.
“Surprised? I guess so……Kukukuku”
Beatrice laughed upon seeing my reaction.
One of the succubi raised her voice, as if she just remembered it.
“Ah, I’ve heard about it! The Demon Lord’s body cannot be damaged unless it’s a weapon filled with magic!”
“What! So, you have been playing around with us this time!”
My body almost broke into a rampage having made into a fool, but I suppressed it.
If I let myself to anger here, everything will be ruined.
“Covering fire! Now!”
At the same time as my words, various attack magic flew from the magic users.
From fireballs to stalagmites and even ice spikes.
I went to retreat at once.
“Hey, can you put magic on this sword?”
I asked the Succubus magic user nearby.
“To this sword? Okay, I’ll try”
“Sorry for the abruptness. I’ll try to buy you sometime”
Then, I borrowed the spear from the red-haired succubus next to me, and charged as it is.
“Hm, have you gone mad? That weapon won’t hurt me”
“I wonder about that. Even if it doesn’t hurt, the shock will still pass through, don’t you think?”
With the support of the covering fire from the succubi, I went in range and used my spear to challenge Beatrice.
Though it won’t leave a scratch, she retreated slightly when it hit.
“I see, that might be correct, but”
Her composure still is intact.
To her, I was just making stupid movements at this level of damage, making her defeat impossible.
Still, it’s necessary to have her attention to me.
When I was put in a distance from her in our melee, a succubus came from behind me.
It was the red-haired succubus whom I borrowed my spear from.
“Allan, your sword! Take it!”
I stopped for an instant and received the sword from her.
I returned the spear I had in exchange.
“Allright. I’m going to need your help now……”
I told my plan to the red hair, and went and stabbed Beatrice again.
“That sword……I see, so that’s what it is. However, I cannot let you!”
Seeing the sword that I have, she probably have noticed the magic that was put in there.
She then put her hands on the floor, pulling a large stone upwards.
Then, the stone changed its shape into a sword, and was grasped by Beatrice’s hand.
She then charged towards me.
“That stone sword, it’s also made from magic!”
“Because it’s best to fight magic against magic after all”
We then battled and intense melee, crossing swords in a short distance.
Her skills with the sword are almost on par with mine, but her magic power is higher as expected.
If I try to force through, my sword will break.
In a slightly disadvantageous way, our offense and defense continued.
“How are you feeling? The way things are going, your sword will definitely break, you know?”
“Shut up. You better concentrate, for if you leave a gap, I’ll definitely skew you”
“Hmmm, your power is not declining. This is more than I’ve anticipated”
Beatrice waved her sword, as if enjoying the fight with me.
Demons truly are battle maniacs.
But I can’t keep on fighting forever.
I have to settle this as soon as possible.
“Oh, are you stuck? Come on, Let’s have some more!”
Her sword swung around like a storm, but I managed to ward it away.
Was it strengthened by magic? That weapon is of a different magnitude.
I looked for gaps while paying close attention so as not to break my sword.
“You cannot beat me by just defending!”
Maybe because she’s at the receiving end until now, she went to the offensive excitedly.
But by bit, her attacks became harder and harder to defend.
Then, she swung the sword down to my head, in which I stoop down greatly to evade.
“What?!”
Beatrice was swept away by the momentum of her swing, losing her balance due to my sudden evasion.
And I, still in a crouched state threw my sword between her feet.
“Now, do it!”
“Leave it to me!”
Behind Beatrice was the red-haired succubus whom I received my sword from.
And waved the Demon Lord, slashing the Demon Lord down.
“Youuuuuuuu!”
However, Beatrice also countered in an instant.
She turned around at once and instantly produced a dagger from the floor.
In that short period of time, it would have been perfect, but she succeeded in preventing the sword.
“What!?”
The red-haired succubus was stunned from the surprise counter-attack.
I don’t think her sword arm is superior to me.
But the way things are going, she will be cut immediately along with the long sword on the other hand.
“Sorry, but this is the end of you……What?!”
Beatrice’s eyes opened wide as she talked to the red-haired succubus.
It’s only natural if you sense someone’s hand on your back.
When she uses her magic, she always faces her opponent.
“Sorry too, but you’re the one that’s going to end.”
I, aiming at her body, fired my temptation magic in full power.
“Kuuuuugghhh!”
I poured my all to my temptation magic that it even inflicted a physical damage upon impact.
Beatrice who was hit from behind loses her balance, then fell on her knees.
And when she was about to get up, she realized an abnormality that occurred to her.
“guh, my body is……what the hell did you do!?”
She gradually loses her energy, dropping her sword.
The evidence that her body is burning with sexual excitement.
“Now, let’s have you taste it slowly from now on”
I pushed Beatrice’s body down to the floor.
