If I Had To Say, I Would Say I Am A Evil Magician 182 (Patreon)

In A Flash

Round and Round and Round and Round.

The Dark Magician, walks around with his eyes shut. He doesn't show any concern even to the fact that an intense battle is taking place around him.

Raynes, Mira, and Delta. Each of them is undoubtedly the few powerhouses on the entire continent. However, they stand no chance before Lokiel. In reality, the situation will just gradually deteriorate at this rate.

"Hmm......interesting"

When he tries thinking back on the time he once fought the Joker Demon, he believes his attack with Demon Fusion, had gotten through. There's a chance of winning if he can even temporarily produce as much power as that time. However, his magic power is completely drained at this present point. Thanks to his outstanding protégé, because of his overly outstanding protégé, and with this idiot golden-haired girl sleeping soundly by his foot being the reason, he can't even walk properly.

"Asch-sama......have you still, not come up with anything?"

Mira, asks as she dodges the Joker Demon's slashes.

"......"

Ignore. An ill-natured Magician who actually hears it but doesn't answer stupid questions, he is. No, if he had the leeway, he'd want to berate her ten thousand times, going, 'I would've put it into action if I came up with it', but the current Asch doesn't have the leeway.

"Haa......haa......, Asch-sensei. You are not, by any chance, sleeping, are you?"

Delta says sarcastically, while he's breathing heavily.

"......"

Ignore. The extremely petty Magician, who's already irritated as it is for not coming up with anything, got even more irritated when his wilfully talkative protégé said that to him.

"Guh......haa......haa......haa......"

As he receives Lokiel's claw on his back, Raynes clenches his teeth.

"......"

Ignore. Let alone coming up with anything, he's getting infinitely annoyed by the warrior who acts cool without saying anything, as though he's speaking with his back. The manic Magician who's seriously thinking that, in the worst-case scenario, maybe he can sacrifice Raynes and attack during that opening.

At that moment.

"......kueeeeh"

Along with the Joker Demon's bizarre voice, the atmosphere instantly changes. First, Rayne noticed the anomaly when he blocked the slash.

"Uooooooh"

He should've caught it. Yet, his thick armour is in pieces, his blood splatters, and he drops onto one knee unconsciously. Staring at the strength, that's completely different from the Joker Demon until just now,

"It got bored huh......too bad"

the Dark Magician mutters disappointedly from the bottom of his heart. 'Times up', he says in his heart. He couldn't find a way to break out of this situation. Carrying on, they'll probably meet with a complete annihilation, and this Narsha Kingdom will be destroyed......besides Asch. The Dark Magician sighs loudly at the picture that comes to mind where Mira the butler is broken, the Hogner Magic Academy's students are all killed, but even so, he'll continue to live on all by himself. If possible, he wanted to protect them. 'Just for a bit more, I wanted to watch over the students' growth', are his genuine feelings.

"Haa......haa......Asch-sensei. What are you giving up forーー"

The moment Delta shouted that at him, the Magic Barrier of Mira, who's beside him, suddenly broke. Before she knew it, the Joker Demon was there beside her, making an uncanny smile,

and in a flash

its sharp

merciless claw

scatters red fluid on the ground.

That,

was not Mira's pseudo-body fluid.

It was the blood splatter of Delta who covered for her and got slashed, in the stead of her back being slashed.
