The Demon King, Alzazeil, whom I defeated together with the hero in my youth in my previous life, has been resurrected. And now, there is no hero to rely on.
Hmmm, why not run away?
“But this time, I am here, Great Sage.”
Meltera spoke. She is ready to fight. Certainly, her strength is now no less than that of the hero.
“Uhm, it will be magical support, isn’t it?”
“Of course. It’s partly because I’m a baby now and my body’s weak, but I’ve never been good at close combat you see.”
“Then….…”
Just as I said that, the Demon King Alzazeil kicked the ground and rushed to us at breakneck speed.
“You mean I’m the vanguaaaard!??”
In the past, when we fought each other, the hero with overwhelming physical abilities, acted as a shield to receive the vicious attacks of the Demon King. That allowed me to concentrate on unleashing offensive spells from a distance.
“Fuhaha! Let’s see how you can prevent the rest of the attack with that fragile body!”
The Demon King’s fist approached me at a tremendous speed.
Doooooon!
A resounding echo and shock wave erupted. Meanwhile, the Demon King’s face contorts in surprise.
“What the-? You blocked my fist?”
The Demon King’s fist hadn’t reached me. It was being held back by a sword.
『Master, have you forgotten? This time, instead of the hero, there is a reliable staff. 』
It’s my beloved staff, Lindwurm, who is in sword mode that stopped his fist.
“Oh yes, that reminds me. That was before I met you. Soryaaa!”
I wielded Lindwurm and deflected the Demon King’s fist. I then quickly jump into the Demon King’s bosom and delivered a powerful slash from his chest to his jaw.
“Icicle Edge!”
Then countless ice blades released by Meltera hit the Demon King’s entire body and bloomed wildly like flower petals.
“……Did we do it?”
I don’t think we did it.
“Fuu, fuhahaha! So that’s all you can do!”
The Demon King roared with laughter, and the ice blades that had been stuck in his whole body shattered in an instant. Including the wounds I inflicted, his wounds healed in no time.
“I’m going to be a little more serious this time!”
The demon king leapt towards me again. An enormous amount of magical power was concentrated in his fist, and the blow that was delivered was incomparable in power to the previous one.
“Gaaah!?”
I tried to catch it with Lindwurm, but there was no way to deal with the overwhelming destructive force, so I was blown away. I crashed into the floor and plunged about a meter into the ground, creating a crater.
“Great Sage!? Damn it! Absolute Ice Prison!”
With Meltera’s magic, the Demon King was trapped in a huge block of ice. But soon, a crack appeared, and the block of ice shattered into pieces.
“Hahahaha, it’s no use.”
The Demon King Alzazeil jumps out of the scattered ice fragments.
“Freezing Cyclone!”
“!?”
As if anticipating that, Meltera immediately activated another spell. Pieces of ice begin to spin at breakneck speed, turning into a huge tornado.
“Guoooo!?”
The Demon King screamed as he was stirred up together with the sharp ice. When the tornado subsided, his entire body was slashed to shreds.
The wound, however, soon healed.
“Your regeneration capacity is too high…… Tsk! Then this is it……Death Frost!”
The Demon King’s entire body instantly freezes over due to the overwhelming cold. The Demon King, who has turned into an ice statue, falls and slams to the floor.
“……Did I do it?”
Of course, he is not an opponent who can be easily defeated.
An incredible amount of magical power gushed out from the ice statue, and the heat melted the ice, causing the Demon King to move again.
“I see. It looks like I should kill the High Elf first huh.”
Oh no, the Demon King now regards Meltera as an opponent to be eliminated first.
