Great War Of The Demon God: Activate

Nanor Kingdom

Lei Perspective

"Gahah!"

"Lei!?"

Wha-, what was that just now? The moment Baron retrieved his actual body as the Demon God and appeared from the coffin, I was blown all the way to the wall? All before I realise anything.

"Fuhahaha, what a nolstagic sensation"

Baron was then there before my eyes before I knew it. I swing Lightning God's Lightning down, but

"Oops"

he lightly brushes it off with his right hand. He then grabs my neck with his left hand and slams me onto the ground. Air escapes from my lungs, and I black out for an instant, but I release lightning at Baron, but the lightning doesn't land, like it's averting him.

I carried on to be grabbed on my neck and hurled away as it is. Bouncing multiple times on the ground, I tried to somehow regain my bearings and stand up, but I got kicked upwards on the abdomen by Baron.

"Gah......"

And then, I was struck and sent flying by Baron and bounced multiple times on the ground again. I release the disk-shaped lightning on my back towards Baron, but they don't land for some reason. As though they're averting him by themselves.

"Fuhahaha! Don't tell me, you think Magic cast by the calibre of humans will land on me? How hilarious! God Domain Magic Divine Flame Vermillion Bird!"

When Baron activated a Magic that I'd never heard before, an enormous firebird appeared above Baron. It's an amount of heat to the extent that I can tell even from here. Oh shit oh shit oh shit! I immediately shoulder Kaitou and run all the way to Alexia. And then

"Light Magic, Light God's Holy Shield(Aegis)!"

I activate my strongest shield. At the same time as that, the firebird that flies above Baron, the Vermillion Bird, flaps its wings and shoots its fire feathers at us like buckshot. I block with Aegis, but

"Wha-! Alexia!"

Just after blocking a number of fire feathers, the fire feathers penetrated Aegis. I cover Alexia, becoming a shield against the fire feathers. And then numerous feathers stab my back.

"Gaaaaaaah!"

"Le-, Lei!"

It's steaming from where I'm bleeding on my back with the fire feathers' heat, and a strong smell of blood wafts in the vicinity. In front of me is a teary-eyed Alexia who's trying to heal me with Water Magic. I'm glad. Looks like there isn't any wound on Alexia.

"Wh-, why! Why won't it heal!"

Alexia uses Healing Magic on me over and over and over again, but the wounds on my back show absolutely no signs of healing. Over there

"Humph. There's no way the Magic used by the likes of human, can block the Magic of a God, right. The same goes for healing those wounds as well. Too bad, woman. Someone of your calibre can't heal those wounds"

This sure is beyond my expectations huh. I never would've thought, that it'd be to this extent. I did think that he'd be strong, but to think that the attacks on this side don't work at all. 

Goddess Astell as well, she could've told me about this......no, the Dragon God gave me that power for the sake of this huh. Foreseeing everything.

"Lei......"

I look at Alexia who looks up at me while crying. Beside her are Maririn and Hikarin who had manifested before I knew it. Maririn tries to heal my wounds one way or another, but they won't heal. Hikarin is crying as well.

......haa, what am I hesitating for at this point in time. I came all the way here for the sake of protecting the girls, the people precious to me, didn't I.

If it's for the sake of that, then I.

"Fuhahaha! This is the end, Astell's apostle. Why, there's nothing to be lonely about, you know? Afterwards, I'll send all of the living creatures in this world after you after all! Do it, Vermillion Bird!"

"ーーーー!"

The Vermillion Bird screeches and flies over at us while releasing fierce flames. Alexia and the others shut their eyes and squeezed me tightly. In the middle of all that, I

"ーーActivate"

Royal Territory

Helen Perspective

"......what is that?"

"That direction is......Nanor Kingdom's direction! Don't tell me something happened to Lei-kun and the others?"

I look in the direction where Nanor Kingdom is with Priscilla-san, Haku-chan, Mei-chan and others.

Up until just now, in Nanor Kingdom's direction, a black-coloured light had risen like it's dyeing the skies, but a white light rises like it's erasing that this time around. Lei-kun.......

As I'm looking at that light while feeling uneasy, Priscilla-san comes over and grabs my hand.

"......it will be fine. If it is Lei-san, he will be fine"

Priscilla-san mutters like she's praying despite her face turning pale.

"Un......if it's Onii, he'll be fine"

"That's right! After all, he's our Onii-chan!"

"There's no way Aniki will lose!"

"Kyururu!"

Following Priscilla-san, Haku-chan, Mei-chan, Roy-kun, and Eclat-chan all says that. That's right. It will be fine, right. Lei-kun.

Nanor Kingdom

Alexia Perspective

"............eh?"

I ended up unconsciously letting my voice out. I, honestly speaking, had given up against Demon God Baron's attacks. It's a difference in strength to the extent that we can't possibly reach with our strength. It's because I ended up experiencing it first-hand.

That's why, I thought if I was going to die anyway, if I could just die with my precious loved one, and clung to Lei, but I'm still alive.

Even though just now, if I'm not wrong, the magic Vermillion Bird that Demon God Baron activated flew over at us and I thought it struck us. Why? When I open my closed eyes without knowing what's going on and raise my head

"......eh?"

I end up making a weird voice, again. When I raise my head, in front of my eyes is, of course, Lei. He was hugging me tightly with his right arm. It should undoubtedly be my precious person.

And yet, I didn't know who it was for a moment. There are various reasons, but the number one reason is that his atmosphere was completely different.

Although the current Lei has dispelled all of his Magic, a bright light is covering him, like it's enveloping him, and it's shining in gold. Perhaps it's because of that, there's the divine atmosphere I felt from Demon God Baron brimming from Lei as well.

It's just that, it's not a violent one like Demon God Baron's; even when I'm hit by that divine atmosphere, my body and heart become warm. It's as though I'm being enveloped by Lei.

That Lei, while embracing me with his right arm, had turned to the right and caught the Vermillion Bird's head with his left hand. Perhaps the Vermillion Bird got irritated at the fact that it's not moving forward at all, it struggles extremely violently. Although the flame it releases whenever it does is burning the vicinity, it's spreading in a way that it's averting us for some reason. And then

"ーーGod Domain Magic, God Spear Longinus"

The moment Lei activated some kind of Magic, a single streak of light fell from the sky towards the Vermillion Bird. That light penetrated the Vermillion Bird, and the Vermillion Bird ended up disappearing unexpectedly easily.

"......no way! How do you have that power!"

"......Lei?"

Amidst Baron's shout, I look up at Lei. Lei simply smiles while gently patting my head. When I saw that smile, tears wouldn't stop falling from my eyes. That smile was as though......it was farewell.
