“I had a return match with the female demon, and it seemed I'd gotten too strong after all.”

Translated by Dawn

“I had a return match with the female demon, and it seemed I’d gotten too strong after all.”

[Fly Levitation]

Using my flying magic, I headed toward the two demons who were looking down at me. The male demon, perhaps not happy with his earlier defeat, glared at me as if he wanted to shoot me dead, but I didn’t take any notice of this and spoke to the female demon.

“Yo, it’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while. You’re getting better.”

“Rather than that, though. Let me ask you, what are you guys up to?”

It was obvious from the situation, but just in case, I should ask, so I asked her once again about their purpose. The female demon asked, “Is that something you should be asking me now?” but when I remained silent as if waiting for an answer, she responded lazily, exhaling a sigh.

“The Demon Lord ordered us to bring down this city, so we came here to crush it.”

“I see, now your purpose has been clarified. So……what are you going to do? If you are going to eliminate this city, you will have to fight me.”

“I’m not going to back down so easily because I’ve been instructed to do so by the Demon Lord. So, boy, let’s continue where we left off.”

“Well, it can’t be helped.”

I muttered that, and I deployed my physical enhancements to about 80% and took a fighting pose. In response, the female demon prepared herself, and I used Super Analysis to examine her abilities.

Hmmm…she was quite strong, but her ability itself was still lower than mine. But that didn’t mean I could let my guard down.

Apparently, the name of the female demon was Hera. Well, I could only answer that it didn’t matter if I knew her name or not……

There was a worrisome thing in her occupation section called [Seven Demon Generals], but if I took it literally, it would mean that there were six more guys like her. …It’s atrocious.

“Huu.”

“Hup.”

As I was thinking this, Hera suddenly lunged at me using her Physical Enhancement. Her outstretched fist sliced through the air, and an incredible roar echoed through the air. I was a little surprised at the power of the fist, which would surely blow off a part of me if an ordinary person were to take it, but I returned the favor and approached her with my own Physical Enhancement.

“Haa!”

“Kyaa.”

She couldn’t keep up with my movements and was blown backward while screaming like a girl. ……Well, she practically was a woman, so I wasn’t wrong. It seemed that my attack was unexpectedly strong, and there was a hint of caution in Hera’s eyes. Now, even though she was a demon race, I didn’t have the hobby of toying with women, so I was going to crush her for real.

“Haa! Yaa! Taa! Tei! Wham!”

“Guuh, Uuh, Nghh, Uu, Ugh.”

Hera looked as if she had no choice but to defend herself against the continuous attacks from my all-out physical enhancement. I guess she couldn’t prevent the last flick in her forehead, though.

From there, Hera seriously challenged me to a fight, but since her stats were lower than mine, if not overwhelmingly so, and since I had better skills than her, in the end, it was almost like bullying the weaker one.

“Haa, haa, haa, ha.”

“Hey, why don’t you just give up and go home?”

“T-there’s no way I can do that!!”

The magic I had unleashed on the way out had ripped her clothes to shreds, and even just a small surface area of clothing was in bad shape. Rather, as for her right breast, it had spilled out…

“Well, I’ll tell you one thing that did bother me. Your right breast is spilling.”

“Huh? Ah! Kyaaaa!”

It took her a while to comprehend what was suddenly pointed out to her, but when she understood the meaning of my words, she suddenly screamed.

“How dare, how dare you! I’ll never spare you again!”

“Well, sure, but I think it’s rather bad to be dressed like that, though?”

“S-shut up! If this is the case, I’ll deal with you in earnest. It’s too late for regrets!”

As she declared that, I felt a surge of magical power in her body. That magical power took shape and changed, transforming Hera’s appearance. Although she looked half-naked, it seemed that her human parts were gone due to the change, and she looked safe to be shown on the so-called TV.

She had demon-like ominous wings and sharp claws on her hands and feet, and her whole body had been upgraded.

“Is that the one called [Demonization]? But still, it totally looks like a character in Devilman….”

She seemed to have improved a lot in terms of ability, but I didn’t feel that she had become stronger since I had a sense of déjà vu in her appearance completely. At any rate, it was certain that she was stronger than before, so I would not let my guard down and activate my Limit Breakthrough as well.

“Come! I will make you regret defying this Seven Demon General, [Osabori no Hera]!”

“A-aren’t Osabori means…no, I will no longer say anything.” (+)

Having given up on something, I charged into the transformed Hera to settle this battle. Since the two of us had drawn out our maximum strength from each other through [Demonization] and [Limit Breakthrough], our physical capacities were immeasurable, and we left the sound behind as the two of us collided.

The overwhelmingly continuous attack made it impossible for ordinary people to understand what was going on. However, the individuals involved had a clear understanding of the current battle situation.

(She’s getting stronger, sure, but still, not quite up to SSS+, I guess….)

(W-what the hell is this guy? There is no way someone like this can exist! He’s dangerous. He’s too dangerous!)

Even in the midst of the attack and defense above the speed of sound, the difference in our abilities began to show itself. As the attack and defense unfolded in a higher dimension that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, the balance was finally broken.

“T-this kind of thing…should not be happening.”

“Your Demonization has worn off, I guess this is it”

“W-who the hell are you!?”

“I’m just a human being. Though I’m on the verge of quitting the human race.”

At last, the demonization effect that Hera was activating wore off and she reverted to her original humanoid state. ……Oops, looks like her local area had reverted back to its original state as well…….

Hera had no way to fight anymore, but the male demon, who had been standing still until now, intervened in front of me.

“Amon…”

“Hera-sama, please leave this place to me and run away. No matter how monstrously strong this human is, he cannot follow us to our base…”

Amon’s determination brought a complicated look to Hera’s face. She must have been thinking about what would happen next, which was why she had such a look on her face. I had no intention to let them do so, though.

“I’m sorry to interrupt your moment there, but…”

“What is it, human?”

“I don’t really have anything more to do as long as you guys go home in peace. Oh, by the way, she had asked me to send a message to the Demon Lord if the demons were trying to control the humans.”

“……?”

The demons looked as if they did not understand what I said, but their expressions changed drastically when I said the next name.

“This is a message from Nagartinya to the Demon Lord.”

“Na-Na-Na-Nagartinyaaaaa!?”

“Her message was this. ‘It seems you didn’t show enough remorse, huh? If you do any more nonsense, I’ll have to deal with the demons myself.’ … So what are you going to do?”

“…..”

As a matter of fact, Nagartinya, who had foreseen the coming of the demons, entrusted me with a message to the Demon Lord, the king of the demon race, before I left the barrier. The contents of that message were the words mentioned above, a message that I did not understand.

However, when they heard the message, their faces turned pale and they were visibly sick. I understand that loli hag was strong, but since I didn’t know what had happened with the demon race in the past, I didn’t know at this point how much influence she had over the demon race.

Still, I could somehow understand that she didn’t seem to have a very good impression based on the reaction of these two people. How much did she do to make them hate her like this…?

“That’s all I have to say. Go now. Go and make sure this message reaches the Demon Lord.”

“….You’re going to let us go?”

“That’s what I said. You should tell the Demon Lord about the message from that loli hag without any nonsense.”

“Boy, what is your relationship with Nagartinya?”

“The closest suitable expression would be that I’m her disciple. Well, I don’t consider her my master at all, but objectively speaking, master and disciple is the most appropriate relationship.”

“That [Witch of Calamity] has a disciple……”

When I told her about my relationship with Nagartinya, she started mumbling to herself as if she was frightened of something. She was so dejected that I wondered where her fighting spirit had gone.

I forced them to stop escaping reality by calling out to them and urging them to tell the Demon Lord about Nagartinya’s message, and then they quickly left the place with transfer-type magic.

At any rate, I convinced myself that it was okay if this made the demon race quieter, although it was a rather awkward ending.
