Defeated so thoroughly, perhaps he could only laugh at this moment.

Seeing Shia looking down at him, Mikhail knew that his time was up. He failed to take revenge and could only apologize to his beloved fiancée in his heart while uttering a final curse in a hoarse voice.

"Ahem, you... ahem... monster!"

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment."

Mikhail's final verbal attack actually made Xia happy.

Finally, Mikhail watched the hammer fall toward his head, his mind vacantly thinking: If the afterlife really exists, he must go find Cattleya. Then, with a sudden impact, his consciousness fell into darkness.

After dealing a fatal blow to the enemy, Shia carried Druken on her shoulders and couldn't help but smile happily as she thought of Mikhail's last words.

“Looks like I’m finally strong enough to be called a monster… Hehe, I feel like I’m getting a little closer to Hajime-san and the others. Okay, how’s Yue-san doing…”

Xia looked at the moon which was quite far away.

Hoping that he might still have time to punch Fried, he immediately set off to meet Yue.

There were so many gray dragons that they could block out the bright moon in the sky.

The number was estimated to be at least over a hundred. In the center of the gray dragon group was a white dragon with a chest injury, and Fried Bagua was riding on its back.

"Don't blame me. Dispersing the enemy's forces is fundamental to warfare."

As Shia and Mikhail disappeared through the portal created by the space magic "World Transmigration" and left the Black Hawk troops chasing them, Fried said to Yue standing in the air without looking away.

Although there was no sign of her using wind magic, Yue still floated in the air, like the moon hanging high in the night sky. Freed narrowed his eyes, observing her reaction, but Yue simply stared at him expressionlessly.

Fried is proud of being a demon, and like other demons, he looks down on other races. He is a devout believer in the demon god, but he also rejects different values.

Therefore, he has never been interested in women of other races.

But when the real moon was obscured by the gray dragons under his command, the radiance of the beautiful girl still shone like the bright moon on the earth. Her charm made Fried think it was a pity to kill her.

Even though he knew that if he wanted to kill Hajime, he had to kill her, and that Yue was also an enemy who killed his compatriots and should be an object of hostility, Freed still couldn't help but say stupid things.

"What a shame... Woman, as a sorcerer, even with your amazing chantless skills, it would be foolish of you to try to break through this situation. What do you think? Will you submit to me? I will never treat a woman like you unfairly."

Yue's response to Freed's persuasion was...

"...Hmph, reincarnate again, ugly man."

Yue showed no mercy and scolded him harshly with a mocking tone.

Incidentally, Fried had a handsome appearance, and ten out of ten people would consider him handsome. Add to that his exceptional strength and the enthusiastic support he received from the female demons, and he was definitely not an ugly man.

However, Yue had seen Fried's trance-like expression when he talked about God at the Gulun Volcano, and that expression made her feel sick.

The man now making a serious invitation looked not only disgusting, but also ridiculous. Besides, Yue had no feelings for men other than Hajime, so she really just thought he was talking nonsense.

Hearing Yue's answer, Fried's eyes twitched in anger.

"Will you choose martyrdom? Or is this your loyalty to this country? Will you sacrifice your life for a meaningless doctrine and a meaningless country that believes in that doctrine? That's sheer folly. You'd better learn the teachings of our God, 'Yalbu', and then you'll wake up—!?"

Hearing Freed's endless stream of untrue statements, Yue responded with a swift wind blade. She couldn't bear to listen any longer.

Blood flew in the evening breeze.

Fried's body tilted, and Yue's wind blade lightly cut his shoulder. Fried was able to react in time because he had conquered the Great Labyrinth before; otherwise, he would have lost an arm by now.

Freed glared at Yue with angry eyes, and Yue gave him a cold look in return.

She said proudly to the foolish monster ruler:

“…Stop talking nonsense. I want you to hurt Hajime as much as you can and die in agony.”

As soon as he finished speaking, extremely cold snow and ice started to blow with the moon as the center.

The ice and snow instantly grew into a massive tornado, enveloping the moon and climbing towards the zenith. The white storm connected heaven and earth, dropping the temperature in the surrounding area to absolute zero in one fell swoop, freezing all the gray dragons within the area.

This is a composite magic that combines the wind-attribute intermediate attack magic "Storm Emperor" that can generate tornadoes, and the ice-attribute top-level attack magic "Freezing Prison" that can reduce the temperature in a wide area to absolute zero.

Like mammoths frozen in time by climate change during the Ice Age, the gray dragons transformed into complete white statues before plummeting to the ground and shattering. Their very bodies seemed frozen, their red flesh and blood crystals scattering across the ground.

"You won't listen... Then there's nothing we can do. Open fire!"

Nearly twenty gray dragons were shot down at once. Fried gritted his teeth and ordered an attack. The gray dragons, which had been circling, dispersed upon hearing the order, launching aurora sweeps from all directions.

Hundreds of auroras streaked across the night sky like a meteor shower. The flashes tore through the darkness, piercing the absolute zero blizzard like machine guns, aiming to kill the sorcerer caught in the snowstorm.

Impacted by countless auroras, the tornado of ice and snow dissipated as if melting into the air.

The dispersed ice and snow drew a spiral, and what appeared in the center of the spiral was not the moon that was seriously injured by the aurora... but the black satellites rotating around it, the moon that was unharmed.

The gray dragons didn't give the opponent any breathing space, and hundreds of flashes of light once again attacked the petite enemy that appeared.

However, the death rays, which were originally extremely powerful and capable of destroying everything, were swallowed up one after another by the black satellites guarding the moon, or their orbits were distorted and they deviated from their directions, and not a single one of them hit the moon.

Yue used gravity magic to increase the altitude again.

Amidst the countless auroral attacks, her expression remained unfazed. The gravity sphere "Huotian" and the all-consuming "Juehuo" orbiting the moon seemed to be protecting the moon's guardian satellite.

"If your breath doesn't work, just attack! Go!"

Fried changed the battle order, and the gray dragons obeyed it faithfully without hesitation.

They roared like dragons, intending to tear the girl's delicate body with their sharp claws.

The other side probably planned to use human wave tactics, and Yue was immediately surrounded by a large group of gray dragons.

Yue didn't care about the dragon group's murderous intentions at all. She closed her eyes quietly, seeming to be concentrating.

Since the enemy was standing still, it was a perfect opportunity to attack. The gray dragons extended their claws and opened their powerful jaws.

Just when everyone thought she was doomed, Yue's eyes suddenly opened.

The cherry mouth uttered two words briefly:

"—Senzabu."

The next moment, the whole world shifted.

Like a broken mirror, countless lines were drawn in the empty space. With the lines as the starting point, the two adjacent spaces were slightly offset.

The gray dragons overlapping on the space cracks stiffened for a moment, and then their bodies and space were cut off, and they fell to the ground spitting blood foam.

——Space magic 『Thousand Cuts』.

This magic can cause cracks and displacements in space, cutting off the opponent without any explanation.

Yue cast an unstoppable cutting magic, killing more than 30 gray dragons gathered around without even having time to scream.

Seeing that the speed and scale of his spatial magic were not as good as Yue's, a trembling expression appeared on Fried's face.

"You possess such advanced skills... Could it be that you too are chosen by God? You were chosen by a pagan god! If so, no wonder you rejected my invitation."

Freed's forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked as if he had suddenly realized something. Yue thought to herself, "This idiot is really disgusting..." Anyone could see the disgust in her expression.

“…Don’t be ridiculous. I always fight for Hajime. Don’t compare me to a scumbag like you.”

Fried could sense that her harsh words were not only insulting him, but also offending the God he loved, and his face suddenly became expressionless.

It seems that Yue has touched upon Freed's taboo.

"Well, it seems there's no point in talking any more. I'm going to kill you and drag your body back to that man. That way, his spirit will be shaken to some extent, and that will be the end of that man."

"...You're such a chatterbox. Can't you just let your actions speak for themselves, ugly man?"

Fried suppressed his anger and made the declaration, but the response he received was ridicule, and a vein suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Then, just as Yue said, he answered with actions.

Fried gave instructions to the bird-like monster perched on his shoulder. It was a monster he had also seen at the Gulun Volcano.

In an instant, among the monsters that destroyed the outer wall of the royal capital and attacked the city, some attacked from the ground towards the moon. It seemed that Fried planned to let the troops on the ground join the attack.

Yue manipulates the Gravity Ball's Guardian Satellite to block the Gray Dragons' Aurora and summons a Thunder Dragon.

A golden dragon roared with thunder, emerging from the dark clouds that enveloped the sky. Yue released the aurora stored in "Absolute Disaster" to contain the approaching Freed and the Gray Dragon, and then controlled the Thunder Dragon to annihilate the ground forces.

Originally, the Thunder Dragon should have sucked everything into its mouth and burned it as usual... But its attack was stopped by Abusode, a six-legged turtle-like monster over five meters long.

The huge Yabusode opened its mouth wide, and the Thunder Dragon was gradually swallowed from the front.

The demon girl Cattleya, who I met in the Great Labyrinth of Orcus before, also led this demon. Its inherent magic can absorb magic into its body.

However, compared to the Absode in the maze, the Absode that absorbed the Thunder Dragon on the ground was much larger. It must have been improved and further strengthened.

Even so, the Thunder Dragon, true to its name, continued to cause Absode's massive body to float, gradually squeezing it despite being devoured.

It seems that the restriction of not being able to swallow multiple attribute magics at the same time has not changed. Even if it can swallow lightning strikes, it cannot swallow gravity magic.

The ominous sound became louder and louder, and Absolde was about to be crushed. It let out a cry in anxiety, and just before its body was about to be bitten by the dragon's mouth, another Absolde began to absorb gravity magic.

The two strengthened Absodes simultaneously used their inherent magic "Magic Storage" at full strength. Even the Thunder Dragon could not withstand it, and its body composed of lightning and gravity could only be absorbed.

Then, the two Abusodes each fired compressed magic at the moon.

“…I’m so annoyed.”

Two blasts of anti-aircraft fire fired from the ground hit the moon with pinpoint accuracy.

In order to defend against the gray dragon and the white dragon's aurora, Yue, who was originally using the gravity ball to protect the satellite, immediately "fell" into the sky to avoid the attack.

"I already knew you could use that strange lightning magic. As long as Abusode is around, your magic is effectively sealed."

The corners of Fried's mouth turned up into a smug smile.

However, Yue did not seem particularly panicked. She observed Absode, her eyes moving in the air, and after a brief thought, she entered a state of concentration again.

"Are you trying to tear the space apart again? I won't give you time!"

The white dragon and the gray dragon emitted auroras even more violently, while a black panther-like monster leaped up from the ground and approached.

Although the guardian satellite of the gravity ball managed to block the aurora storm, most of Yue's consciousness was used to construct other magic, and his movements seemed slower than before.

The black panther on the ground seized this opportunity and approached Yue at lightning speed, shooting out countless tentacles and using its sharp claws to avoid the gravity balls launched to defend against the aurora.

The instantaneous attack and defense left Yue with countless wounds, sending red blood splattering into the air. However, each wound was shallow and not a problem at all.

Furthermore, Yue's true defensive power wasn't a barrier or a gravity ball, but rather his extraordinary "regeneration power."

If there are allies present, Yue will set up a barrier to protect them, and she doesn't like her clothes to be damaged, so she will avoid attacks. However, Yue's original fighting style is to ignore enemy attacks, relying on her regenerative power to launch a unilateral offensive.

Seeing Yue's blood splattering, Freed was convinced he had already won half the battle, and a smile appeared on his face. However, as Yue's wounds gradually healed, his eyes widened in shock.

"Is that also Age of Gods magic? How many have you learned?!"

Although Freed was not entirely wrong, his assumption about Yue was wrong. Freed ordered the monsters to attack directly with all their strength, hoping to use a saturation attack to prevent Yue from recovering.

And Fried himself began to chant the magic of the Age of Gods.

However, Yue, who entered the state of concentration first, naturally cast her magic faster. She opened her eyes with a strong will, and her gentle voice rang out in the space filled with flashes and roars.

"—The Five Heavenly Dragons."

Then, dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

The whirlwind formed into a strong tornado.

The converging waters emit cold air and freeze into ice.

The gray sand and dust are endless, like a cloud dragon.

The blue flame of annihilation was compressed, burning even the atmosphere.

As a result, five dragons appeared in the night sky of the royal capital.

They each possess different properties, all compounded by gravity magic, like a dragon dominating the sky—a celestial dragon.

The five celestial dragons roared so loudly that the entire atmosphere shook.

This group of celestial dragons possessed enormous bodies and exuded a sacred aura. The gray dragons seemed to instinctively understand that they were beings higher than themselves, and they all let out weak and cowardly cries of fear.

The gray dragons no longer had murderous intent towards Yue in their eyes; instead, there was confusion and fear. They looked at their master, Fried, as if asking for help.

“How could this be…”

Seeing Yue use such magic beyond common sense, Fried, who was sitting on the white dragon, also looked stunned.

"...You want to seal my magic? Don't overestimate your abilities."

Her domineering words and proud figure are no different from those of a king.

The slender fingers slowly pointed to the ground.

The five heavenly dragons, having received the imperial decree, descended to the earth as if under a divine punishment.
