"Aren't you...at least afraid?"

"Ok?"

"Aren't you even slightly afraid? London has already been destroyed, and who knows... the whole world might be destroyed by these monsters!"

These monsters are indestructible; even nuclear weapons cannot eliminate them in the slightest.

Even though their power is not particularly strong, they are still beyond the ability of modern humans to contend with.

Moreover... their numbers have far exceeded the total number of humans worldwide.

This is no longer a question of whether we can win.

Next, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the entire world will be invaded by these invincible monsters... and all countries will be destroyed.

This could be a more devastating catastrophe than World War III or even the fall of angels.

"I don't care about this kind of thing."

The person who responded to her was Boros.

"What…"

“I do not belong to this world, nor do the men here. I have no obligation to protect you. In the end, I am not human myself, so I have even less obligation to care about you. Even if all life on this planet were to perish, I would still not be affected.”

"How... could it be..."

"...But, didn't I already say that?"

Just as Kanzaki was in disbelief, Boros suddenly changed the subject.

"I appeared here in pursuit of battles against the strong."

"...?"

"If these small fry try to interfere with my battle with any strong opponent, I will not stand idly by."

Boros's motivation for fighting was very simple.

It wasn't for reasons like protecting humanity; it was simply because I wanted to fight.

They want to duel with stronger opponents, to have a one-on-one showdown with a powerful opponent who can give them a sense of equal strength.

Now, his wish is almost within reach.

Anyone who stands in his way of fulfilling these wishes will be killed without mercy.

"Well, as for my motives? It's not exactly a grand reason."

Dante wiped his nose and looked again at the gray, lifeless sky.

"In my world, well, demons are real beings, but... sometimes, humans are worse than these demons."

"I think it should be the same in this world. Although they are different worlds, human nature remains unchanged."

He is a man who has truly weathered storms.

Kanzaki may not know what Dante's past was like, but based on just a few words, she could tell that he definitely had an extraordinary identity.

and.

"But in the end, I guess I'm half a demon too."

"Are you...a demon?"

"To be precise, it's a hybrid of demon and human... or maybe a mongrel? How annoying, this is just me insulting myself."

"Then why... did you choose to stop him...?"

If someone is a demon, then they shouldn't have any duty to protect humans, right?

Kanzaki first thought with such a simple idea.

“That’s not a funny way to put it, ma’am.”

More monsters seemed to have gathered around.

Dante didn't care, and simply spoke loudly with a hearty laugh.

"Because they are demons, they can't protect humans?"

"..."

"I don't think that makes sense, does it? I do possess demonic power. My mother is human, my father is a demon, and demonic blood flows in my veins."

He said so.

A scarlet aura erupted from its entire body.

"...But I also have human blood, don't I?"

Ziga—

A faint, deep red current swirled around Dante.

And his voice seemed to have become more magnetic.

"I believe I possess the power of a demon, and the heart of a human being. Therefore, I am free to choose how to use this power. I can use it to conquer the world and do whatever I want."

"That works too—"

He raised the long sword behind him.

"Use this power to protect what I want to protect—!!"

He then plunged it violently into his own chest.

Chapter 697 The Magician of Silver Star

Puff——!!!

Excessive blood gushed from the man's chest cavity under Kanzaki's stunned gaze, but the man's face showed not a trace of pain.

Blood and magic merged together, forming a ring-shaped magic circle.

It enveloped Dante from head to toe.

"My answer is this."

The image of a demon appeared on his face.

Dante turned slightly, chuckled, and smiled at Kanzaki Kaori.

"I think you... probably share the same opinion as me, right?"

Boom! ...

It exploded.

This power, which gathers all strength into one's own and concentrates it on one point, allows Dante's true demonic form to fully erupt.

Really devilish.

It's not just an ordinary demon form, but a genuine unleashing of all its hidden power, a true demonic form.

Two pairs of crimson wings exploded directly from behind Dante, who had transformed into a true demon.

His face completely transformed into a hideous, demonic expression.

But what he did next.

Yet it was something that no ghost or deity had ever done.

boom--! !

With a flick of his wrist, the demon effortlessly tore countless monsters apart from a distance with his magic.

"If these guys are determined to stop me."

bang——

Boros, on the other side, also underwent some kind of change.

A power countless times stronger than before surged from within his body.

"Then I will do everything in my power to completely destroy them."

--Then.

Its appearance is white and purple, with dark lines covering its entire body.

This is an awakening posture that transcends the limits of any living being and rises above everything else.

Meteor Burst Mode.

Boros appeared in this manner.

The mere act of appearing in front of the monster horde instantly blasted them all away.

“…So strong.”

Kanzaki Kaori watched the two beings locked in fierce combat before her and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

But it wasn't just about being amazed by their strength.

What she truly found powerful was the mindset of those two people.

A person is fully aware of their identity and status, accepts it, and chooses the correct way to use this power.

He was single-mindedly focused on finding a strong opponent to fight, without the slightest hesitation or confusion.

The reason they were able to do all this was simply because their power was far beyond that of ordinary people.

…No.

"I will also work hard."

Kanzaki Kaori gripped the knife tightly in her hand.

Even if your strength is meager, you must absolutely do your best.

"For what I strive to protect, I will fight to the very end!!"

This is what happened in Britain.

Even after Accelerator and his team left, the people on this planet continued to fight to protect everything.

———————————————————————————————————

The only solution to everything lies at the very back.

Accelerator, with the cover provided by the others, went directly to the deepest part of the black hole.

Alone.

boom! ! !

The moment they stepped into the shallowest part of the deepest area, countless monsters suddenly appeared.

They roared, just as they had on Earth, attempting to utterly destroy Accelerator at this moment.

"...Don't get in the way."

The first one was completely indifferent to the various ants in front of him.

He didn't even use his abilities; he simply changed the shape of his gun.

Dark red throwing knives, like darts.

With his right hand tightly gripping Apollo in dart form, he hurled this weapon, capable of instantly slicing through dimensions, straight ahead.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

A flash of blood-red light passed by, and all the monsters were decapitated.

There wasn't even the slightest bit of suspense.

The first person retrieved the dart, switched it back to gun mode, and continued on his way to the deepest part of the black hole.

but.

The moment he took his first step, something unbelievable happened before his eyes.

wow-

The shattered corpses were restored.

"what?"
