『Azerlaims Castle: Inside』

「Hohoitto! 」

『GUFUAAAAaaaaa！！』『GYAGYAN！！』

「……Kazuha-sama？　What is with your … power ……？」

We then  hurried to a safe place while I protect Erina.

（……Well, it seems like the King and Queen is already safe so……。Or rather, no matter how many times I reincarnate, the King and Queen only think about their lives …… So Erina always get to face this……）

『GEEEEEEEeeeee！！！！！』

I look for the shortest route to flee the castle while holding Erina’s hand。

「……Ah, I know。I think there’s a 《large temple》inside the big stairway？」

『GUOOOOOoooo！！！！』

「Y-yes……。The back entrance is already open so, if we go straight to the garden then we can proceed to the《Large Temple》……」

And the demons shouldn’t have probably invaded that place yet.

If I remember correctly, there might have been a great wise man, from the past, that erected a barrier so that demons can’t invade that place……。

「……However the《Large Temple》has been sealed long ago……」

It’s because this country’s idiot king doesn’t have of piety making it a certainty that he sealed the 《Large Temple》preventing the entrance of people……。

He really is bullshit……。

「Well, happens what will happen！　If worst comes to worst then I’ll just destroy that barrier for good！」

「……This prideful attitude・・・・・……。For some reason……？

It’s a really ……really nostalgic feeling ……」

「Hmm？　Did you say something, Erina？」

「……Nothing……」

I didn’t hear it very well but……。

In the meantime I’ll leave Erina in a safe place。

I need to hurry up and regroup with Tao and the others to defeat the 『Boss』Of this『Invasion』plan……。

「……Eh？　The 《Large Temple》is……open？」

What we saw after descending the giant stairway and going through the garden was。

A temple with its doors wide open 。

「……That is…………the hero？」

「……Eh？」

I do indeed see a person’s shadow inside the temple。

Wait, the 『hero』？

So this means……。

（Rei-san’s nii-san？　……Why isn’t the 『hero-sama』in the front lines, and is cowering in this place……）

……Whatever。

Well, the hero is here so things will go smoothly。

I’ll entrust Erina to him, and let them hide and behave in the《Large Temple》。

――Thinking that to my heart。

I will, to this hero, totally betray him――。

◆◇◆◇

『Large Temple：Entrance』

「？　……Oh, Erina。I was thinking about where you went……」

「Hero-sama……？　Why is the seal of the 《Large Temple》――――Kyaaa！！」

………Hey。

The heck……is this……。

「Ku……O-o-ni……sama……。Why………」

A bloody Rei-san fell over。

「……*Geho/ cough*！　……*Geho geho/cough*……！　Oh……Kazuha huh……？　My bad ……。About suddenly getting stabbed……」

Alzein too fell over bloodied。

And――。

「Tao！　Ruru！　Selen too……！　This is a lie ……」

My party members should be fighting at the front lines of the castle。

But they’re here bloodily thrown away  in the 《Large Temple》……？

「……That is ……HEY！　GRAHAM！　LILY！！」

「……Oya oya。That little lady seems to have a lot of people she knows……」

The man, called『hero』,in front of me wipes off the blood in his sword 。

「……This is……The hero-sama …… did what……？」

Erina quivers in fear。

「Hey！　Rei-san！　Are they okay！」

I call out to Rei-san, on the verge of death 。

The others didn’t even flinch。

Don’t tell me――。

「HAHAHA……。You……。       To ask a question to a dying lady about other people is very rude, you need to die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die………！！」

「You ……」

He’s going all out……。

What……the hell happened……。

「I’ts okay……Kazuha-sama……！　Everyone just lost consciousness, I think……！　And……onii-sama is……」

Rei-san replies to my question with a very bitter look。

「……Ku……Kazuha……。That person is ……no longer the hero……。In the underground passage・・・・・・・・・escaped from the coffin・・・・・・・・――」

「！！HEY, are you okay SELEN！　SELEN！！」

「Hou……？　So you still have strength to talk ……。Fufu……。As expected of an『Ex-Maou-sama』……。Ahaha……！　AHAHAHAHAHA ……！！　GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA！！！」

This guy is dangerous……！

He’s seriously corrupted……！

「Kazuha……。I’m really ……sorry……。Ku……！」

「Ruru！　……You……to hurt even this kid……」

I strongly turn my hand into a fist。

「……That person……That hero is・・・・・……！　The《King of Spirits》’s ghost……took over him……！」

Ruru tells me the 『truth』with a painful expression。

King of Spirit’s 、ghost……？

Escaped from the coffin……？

Then that 『seal』is for……。

A 『seal』in order to not let the king of spirits out in the world……？

……If that’s the case、this resolute a lot of question。

A place with a very heavy『seal』。

An under passage infested with atrocious『demons』。

And probably the 『Maou』that sealed the 『King of Spirits』at that time, erected the place with a very strong barrier and left atrocious demons as guards ――。

Then――。

（……And the cause of that chills was this……！）

The chills felt when the 『coffin』was opened。

And may also be the reason why Ruru lost consciousness……。

「……Fun。You really can speak fluently……！　You『Spirit Clan』traitor！　Pe！」

「……！」

The『hero』gets near to Ruru and mercilessly spits at her。

……Hell、『King of Spirits』。

「Kukuku………！　Kuhahahahaha！！　Ya bastards！！　Everyone、all 、ALL OF YA！！　ALTOGETHER！！　SHALL！！　BECOME MY WIVES！！　GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA！！」

*Bagii*！！

The『King of spirits』kick the passed out Tao。

Tao’s body easily flew and crash to the wall。

「How can you do such thing……with a straight face……！」

Beside me Erina cowers。

――Isn’t this already enough, me。

「……Hey？　……You woman……！　What？　What’s with those eyes？　I am the 『hero-sama』ya know？　Also！　The 『king of spirits 』-sama too, understand？　HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA！！！」

――I pick up and toss my《Zwei hander》to the floor。

「Whaa？　Whaat？　Getting cold feet before our fight？　Hihi……Hihihihihi……HIHYAHIHYAHYAHYAHYAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA！！！」

「Rei-san。Alzein。My swords」

I call out to the half passed two people。

「！！　Certainly……！」

「！！　Take it！　AND HASTILY FINISH THIS！」

And two swords came flying at me at the same time。

「Whaaaat？　Little girl？　Can you even wield those?　HYAHYAHYAHYA！！！」

I look downwards, and caught the two swords at the same time。

On my right the『Hell’s best』sword,《Criminals judgement sword Criminal Darkness》――。

On my left the『world’s best』sword,《Saint’s sin judgment sword , Angel’s Blame》――。

「！！！　……WHA……！？　『Two hands at the same time』……！？」

「……《Two Edge sword》……」

In an instant, power seethes to my body。

「What……is that skill……」

「GIRO」

ZOKUU！！！！

I glare at him and said――。

I instantly move beside the ear of the 『Spirit King』,and whisper――。

「You’re dead」

「！！！！　UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA！！！　WHA,WHA WHA WHA-WHA……！！　WHO ARE YOU！！　WHAT THE！！！！」

The 『Spirit king 』, instantly feared my movements that he can no longer follow with his eyes。

「M,M,M,M,MAKING A FOOL ……！！！　A FOOL OUT OF MEEEEEEEEEEEE！！！！」

The 『Spirit King 』blindly cast magic continously。

I lead the 『Spirit king』ensuring that the ones passed out in the《Large Temple》didn’t get hit while barely dodging the attacks。

（……This place is large enough so it’ll be fine if they didn’t get caught……）

「Dodge？」

I kicked the ground for a second、and activated the skill《Slide Cutter》with both swords。

「HIIIIIIIIIIIII！！　WHA,WHAT’S WITH YOU！！　YOUR ATTACKS！！」

He managed to dodge the attack but I grazed him。

Fu-n。As expected of the combination of the spirit king and the hero。

They maybe at an even standing with the『True Maou』。

…………However。

The current me。

That is filled with rage and frustration。

Will say something seriously。

――not a comparison with my『2nd time』。

I continuously attack while selecting 《fire》magic from the magic window and continuously casting magic。

「《Fire Lance》、《Flame Gatling》、《Engage Brazen》、《Fire Burst》……………………」

「Sto-……Wai-……！！　GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA！！！！」

The Spirit king didn’t manage to dodge the consecutive 《fire》magic。

「HIIIIIIIIIIIIII！！　MO-MONSTER………！！！」

The Spirit king tried to flee by greatly rushing into a jump。

「As if I’d let you, idiot」

I chose《shadow》from the magic list。

Thereafter I chose《Kusari Jyou》。[TL: Chains lock]

A shining Black and Silver chains then appeared from another dimension, binding the right hand of the Spirit king and locking it。

「HIIII！！！！？？？？」

His right hand turned to a weird shape after the chain bound and locked it 。

His face is already overflowing with tears, I can say that no one will think that he is 『the current  hero-sama』。

「You heard me say 『die』, am I right？」

I steadily increase my magic power。

「……Ka-Kazuha-sama……！　Leave it at……！　My onii-sama will……！　Onii-sama will die……！！」

「……Kazuha……？」

I begin chanting《fire》magic。

I’m sorry, Rei-san。

I’ll  just――――。

――――kill him。

『One, I offer to thy, O True God of Flames thy soul、

Two、I offer to thy, O Circle God of Crimson, the name of my enemy、

Three、I offer to thy, O Karma God of the Sun, my overflowing love

Four・・・・・・・　』

「Ah……！　Aah……！　That ……That forbidden magic is…………！！」

He struggles to free from the 《Kusari Jyou》。

As expected from this magic, even I can’t『short cut』it and cast from the window。

The chant time is stupidly long、furthermore the opportunity to use this is also rare。

Wait, after I finish casting this then I can no longer use 《Fire magic》。

From now on, until the rest of my life――。

「See ya, hero」

「HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII！！！！！」

「KAZUHA-SAMA！！！！」

The moment I activate the『Greatest magic』of 《fire》。

Something seeps out from the hero’s body。

「……KAZUHA！！　NOW！！」

The little girl shouted。

Sheesh……。

You don’t have to say so, I already know it……。

「――――――――――――《Sleep in an eternal hellfire ETERNAL・BLAZING STORM》――――――――――――」

「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA！！！！！！！！！！」
