"Fear?"
Zagred heard an unfamiliar word.
"You say I'll feel fear? Don't be ridiculous!" Zagred roared.
Drake watched him, his hysteria unable to stop his trembling body. It wasn't just Dragon's Intimidation; Drake's power conveyed danger.
Zagred believed only weak humans felt fear; he wouldn't admit to feeling it like a human.
But Drake would prove him wrong.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Drake's fist, engulfed in flames, slowly moved towards Zagred, as if to humiliate him.
Zagred reacted only as the flames neared.
"Vacuum Wall!"
Zagred created an air wall, blocking the flames, but it shattered upon impact. He dodged.
Drake didn't pursue; others were fighting.
"Amazing magic! Modern Magic Knights are remarkable!" Lumiere exclaimed, proud of his successors.
Drake's Magic Territory's weakness was its indiscriminate effect. Everyone felt Dragon's Intimidation, but except for the demon, everyone was unwavering in their beliefs.
Unlike the paralyzed demon, they weren't affected.
A giant light sword pierced Zagred's chest, pinning him to the wall. Fishbone light swords pinned his limbs.
Zagred roared; humiliation and rage overshadowed fear. He shattered the swords on his wrists.
Before he could free himself, Rhya and Yuno attacked. Rhya wielded a dark magic katana; Yuno, a long wind sacred sword.
Their attacks inflicted deep wounds. Rhya's was a Netherworld magic that could harm demons. Yuno's attack also had the same effect.
Lumiere said, "His magic couldn't harm the demon, so he used our magic residue to create swords! The child's talent is astounding."
Licht smiled; he sensed the connection between Yuno's soul and his own. They'd used forbidden magic; their magic essence changed, granting their magic Netherworld effects. Yuno solidified their magic residue into his own magic—a feat beyond ordinary mages.
"Away! Pierce! Shatter! Destroy! Collapse!… Die!"
Zagred, losing control, unleashed countless word-spirit spells, forcing Yuno and Rhya to retreat.
Licht, wielding the Demon-slaying Sword, stood behind them.
"Demon, taste the elves' 500 years of rage!"
Light from Patri, Rhya, and Yuno landed on Licht's sword. More light fell from above, gathering on the sword.
"Sword Ultimate Magic: Demon-Dweller Sword: Conquering Eon!"
Only elves, favored by magic, had the power to use ultimate magic representing the root of magic. Licht used the Demon-slaying Sword's ultimate magic.
The Demon-slaying Sword allowed Licht to connect with those he had bonds with. Licht had the elves' trust and love; this attack was the combined power of all the elves in the Shadow King's Palace.
The attack shattered half the space, revealing the dark space beyond. The demon vanished, but Drake didn't relax.
"Asta, it's your turn!"
They saw a black heart; a mouth with black teeth appeared, uttering Zagred's hateful voice.
"Heal!"
Black magic gathered, reforming Zagred's body. Licht's attack hadn't been fatal. Asta's anti-magic was needed.
"Okay!" Asta's Demon-slaying Sword transformed. It became massive, covered in black anti-magic, with black twisting patterns.
"Demon-slaying Sword: Black Divider Aster!"
Asta lived up to expectations; he'd mastered anti-magic.
He approached Zagred, striking at the heart. He cut open Zagred's chest; Zagred's regeneration stopped; his head lowered… then he smirked.
"Too bad!"
Asta was surprised; the heart was missing. Zagred fully recovered, transforming; countless mouths appeared on his body.
"Trash!"
"Inferiors!"
"Mageless…"
"It's over; I'll kill you all!"
Zagred's mouths spoke simultaneously, even using Netherworld language. Asta retreated.
Drake said, "Demons don't have normal anatomy."
"I'll hit his heart next time!" Asta said firmly.
Drake said, "We'll expose his heart; seize the chance!"
Others attacked. Zagred's body allowed him to use more powerful word-spirit magic simultaneously.
"Vacuum Wall!"
"Iron Spear!"
"Blade Storm!"
"Light Magic: Lamp of Avior!"
"Spirit Magic: Sylph's Breath!"
"Imitation Magic: Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash!"
"Light Magic: Light Sword of Judgment!"
Their magic shattered Zagred's attacks.
Drake crouched; flames swirled.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Blazing Blade!"
Drake felt he could incinerate the world; it was a delusion from his surging, uncontrolled power.
"I need more training!"
Drake unleashed all his magic towards Zagred. A spiral flame storm engulfed Zagred, leaving only a heart with a mouth.
"Asta!" Drake and Yuno shouted.
"I'll…"
Asta, a black meteor, arrived before the heart could regenerate.
"Finish him!"
A black demon shadow appeared behind Asta, reflected in Zagred's eyes. The Demon-slaying Sword fell, cleaving Zagred's heart.
"The 500-year tragedy ends here!"
