Fighting you is like being in jail.

But the healing arrow is fast, and the cold is even faster right now!

"not good!"

Simmel's eyes narrowed, and she vanished from her spot in an instant, chasing after Leng Chang.

He swung the holy sword in his hand with the utmost force.

"Reinhard!!"

As Simmel swung her sword at Leng Chang, she shouted loudly, her eyes fixed on the front.

The moment the sound rang out, Reinhard had already drawn his dragon sword and stood in front of Wilhelm, his face solemn and serious.

He raised the dragon sword high with both hands, and the sword burst forth with light, rising from the ground and illuminating everyone's vision.

“Simmel, I’m ready.”

Reinhard unleashed his full power, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and mercilessly slashed at the oncoming Leng Chang!

In an instant, Leng Chang found himself caught in a pincer attack!

Moreover, it was an attack from two top-tier experts!

There's no way to dodge it! Defense is useless too!

Reinhard's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he swung the Dragon Sword with all his might.

Simmel's sword flashed with a cold light, and then a beam of light shot up from the ground!

One in front, one behind, one above, completely blocked Leng Chang's way out and retreat.

"You can't dodge this attack!"

"Demon King! Don't even think about coming near!"

The two roared simultaneously, their momentum erupting like a torrent.

The next second, two earth-shattering slashes fell at the same time!

boom--!

The earth was cut open, and the sky was torn apart.

A massive wave of earth surged up like a tsunami before everyone's eyes, and a fierce wind swept all around.

In an instant, the entire plain seemed to be sliced ​​open, and even those guarding the capital could clearly see the earthen waves rising from the ground.

boom--!

The shockwave swept outwards, moving everything around it, with the grass tumbling and being blown away by the impact.

Crusch and Anastasia watched the waves of dust rising in the distance, and before they could even be surprised, they felt a strong wind rushing towards them, instantly ruffling their clothes and forcing them to shield themselves with their hands.

"How powerful this is..."

"What kind of battle actually took place there?"

They discovered they didn't even have the right to watch; they could only watch from afar.

Leng Chang was attacked from both sides, and his entire body was almost cut in half, with blood splattering all over him.

His body seemed to have lost control, constantly being rubbed and cut by two enormous forces.

"Whoa!"

Leng Chang's screams echoed through the sky, and everyone could feel the tearing pain in them.

After swinging their swords, Simmel and Reinhard stared at Leng Chang, who had been struck. Their serious expressions remained, and they frowned nervously as they carefully observed him.

Frillie, standing behind, stared wide-eyed at the scene, gripping her magic wand tightly with tension.

We will win.

She was definitely looking forward to it.

This is only natural; even if the Demon King were to be struck by the combined full force of Reinhard and Simmel without his previous armor, he would not survive.

But... after the slashing sound ended.

Everyone present stared wide-eyed in horror, their pupils dilating as they looked ahead.

Where the dust and smoke had dissipated, Leng Chang stood there with a sinister grin, his wounds long gone, leaving no trace of injury.

A crimson light shone in his dark eyes, and he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips no matter how hard he tried.

A pink magic arrow was stuck in his back.

In that instant, everything became self-evident.

"Simmel, Reinhard, what a pity. You were so close, just a tiny bit away from victory."

"Do you believe in gravity? This very moment proves that gravity has not abandoned me, and the winds of victory are blowing right behind me!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Leng Chang, laughing wildly, tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and let out a joyful laugh.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly, even forgetting what they were doing.

"This guy's goal from the beginning wasn't Wilhelm, but Madoka's healing arrow!"

Homura Akemi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, even shaking her head, her long black hair swaying in the breeze.

She was genuinely surprised.

But upon closer reflection, this is the true nature of Leng Chang; he always manages to find a glimmer of hope even in dire straits.

Serie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at the sudden reversal:

"What a troublesome fellow, to have survived even under those circumstances. From the beginning, he never intended to be unharmed; his goal was always to withstand Reinhard and Simmel's attacks before receiving Madoka's healing arrow..."

hiss!

That's terrifying!

Celia's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but gasp, feeling that this was a bit too outrageous.

Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we survive!

"Demon King..."

Simmel gripped the holy sword tightly, as the immense pressure that had once suffocated him returned.

It felt like stepping back into the last battle, where the defense was impenetrable no matter how hard I tried.

In the end, they had no choice but to fight back with their lives on the line.

Is that tragedy about to repeat itself?!

No! Absolutely not!

Simmel's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and stood firmly in place.

"laugh--!"

Suddenly, Leng Chang gritted his teeth and grinned maliciously, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind arose from behind Simmel!

The fiery young girl spun through the air, her body blooming like a flower as she swung her longsword at Simmel.

Simmel was startled and immediately turned around to slash at him with her sword.

when--!

Sparks flew as the Holy Sword and Theresa's Longsword clashed together, producing a crisp sound.

Theresa stared blankly at Simmel with vacant eyes. In that instant, her blue eyes reflected the cold, raised hand of Leng Chang, and his ferocious smile became even clearer.

what! ?

Behind you!!

Simmel was startled and tried to dodge, but found that Theresa's sword was heavier and gave her no chance to dodge at all.

"A extinguished flame is unaware of the moment it goes out."

"Let's see how you hide now!"

Leng Chang's frantic voice rang out, and at that moment, the raised blade slashed down with tremendous force.

"Simmel!!"

Frillie's eyes widened and she screamed, gathering all her magic power in an attempt to interrupt Leng Chang's attack.

Unfortunately, her killing magic beams couldn't reach that speed.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared intently ahead.

Just as Leng Chang's hand was about to strike Simmel's back, Kaname Madoka's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It's over."

She said it with certainty, more seriously and confidently than ever before.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand slash that was about to hit Xinmeier froze in mid-air, and at the same time, Leng Chang spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Puha—!"

His pupils contracted in disbelief, and he looked around in confusion and bewilderment after spitting out blood.

"What...what happened...why...am I vomiting blood?"

"Pfft!"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, the blood gushing from his mouth endlessly, even his hands couldn't stop it from flowing out.

Leng Chang coughed up blood as if vomiting, and his body lost all strength, causing him to kneel down helplessly.

The sudden situation shocked and surprised everyone, who looked at Leng Chang, who was vomiting blood incessantly, with a mixture of vigilance and confusion.

"What happened?!"

"My legs, I can't stand up..."

Leng Chang tried to stand up, but his legs trembled endlessly.

"Kurushi...I feel nauseous...My head is spinning...What, what's going on!? Why, why am I like this..."

His confusion was shared by everyone else; no one could understand why Leng Chang would act this way at this time.

Kaname Madoka took a deep breath and looked at Leng Chang with tears welling up in her eyes.

She stood on the grassy plain, feeling the wind blowing in her face, and said gently yet sadly:

"Demon King, you surely don't understand, do you?"

"Because of that person..."

"He's here, he's always been here! Even if you've taken over his body and replaced his existence, he's still here..."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, forming droplets on her chin that fell onto the grass.

Kaname Madoka clenched her fist so tightly that her fingers turned white as she desperately tried to control her emotions while her body trembled.

"When the healing arrow was fired... I heard Leng Chang's voice. He saw through your intentions! With his last strength, he told me... Xiao Yuan, attack with all your might!"

"At that moment I understood what he meant."

"It's almost impossible to attack the Demon King, because everyone has lost their previous power due to reincarnation. So the Demon King can only think that it's a healing arrow... The moment it hits, my magic power invades your body like poison, and now is the moment the poison explodes!"

"Demon King! You've lost again!"

The sound of their struggle echoed all around, startling everyone.

My pupils were wide open by the earthquake, my heart was filled with shock, and then came sadness.

Even Frilian felt a belated pang of guilt, her eyes widening as she looked at Leng Chang and remembered the person everyone had almost forgotten.

Everyone thought he was dead.

But no one expected that he had been there all along, watching all along.

He even helped everyone at that moment.

As they hesitated, Simmel and Frilian seemed to see Leng Chang in the sky giving them a thumbs-up and a victorious smile, as if to say, "Aren't you surprised?"
