Chapter 517.2

I felt a sudden increase in the amount of magic power in the surroundings.
In response, I created dozens of my usual water dragons instantly.
However, these were not for offensive purposes, so they were incapable of killing or injuring. It was just water shaped like a dragon.
A moment later, the increased magic power caused a reaction, and another explosion occurred.
I had sensed this in advance, so I sent the water dragon I had prepared toward the explosion, suppressing it with a torrent of water.
Fortunately, there was no sign of people near the point where the explosion occurred, so I was able to plunge my water dragon into the building without hesitation with enough force to collapse the entire building, thereby reducing the spread of damage to as little as possible.
The next thing I sensed was the presence of a powerful creature.
After kneading my magic, I prepared for battle. I first used my magic power to gather the spirits around me and poured a lot of magic power into them to assist me and Enne.
Spirit Magic had now become one of my most important assets.
Using Spirit Magic, any magic I invoke would be improved with their help.
Well, it would actually be too much of an improvement that it becomes too overpowered, so I couldn’t use it in a less open place like the planned stadium construction site a while ago, but it wouldn’t be a problem if I unleashed it in this area being an open airfield.
Last time, I let an opponent weaker than me run rampant for naught.
This time, I would not make that mistake. I would hunt them down the moment they appeared.
And so, when I’ve made all the preparations I needed to, the owner of the presence I’ve sensed appeared.
[—-!!!]
Race: Fire Elemental
Level: 95
What came out with an unspoken roar was a fire giant.
Its entire body was covered in fire.
Its body seemed to be made of a lump of dusky black lava, or something like that, cloaked in fire.
The blend of fire and the blackness surrounding its body made it look so evil that the word “demon” springs up in my mind.
[TN: Like a Balrog from Lord of the Rings]
It looked like something that would go on a rampage as the vanguard of evil in an Armageddon.
It was apparently very hot, and the area around the guy began to burn up in the blink of an eye, and the well-maintained ground of the airfield started to burn black.
In fact, I, who was facing it, was also feeling the heat. If I get any closer, my clothes would start to burn.
And most important of all, the title column…
There, I obtained confirmation that it had the title of [Attendant of the Demon Lord].
I knew that something like this would soon appear.
As Finar said earlier, I should assume that this means I was being targeted.
This attack aimed at socially ostracizing me.
The monsters were meant to be [landmarks] to make the public imagine me as a monster.
It was utterly devious and insidious.
The enemies must have a very nervous look on their faces now, though.
“Enne, it’s not good if the airfield is damaged any further. Let’s get this over with quickly before things get out of control!”
[Yes! Master, let’s use the sword beam here to narrow the damage!]
“…Okay, let’s hit it with a bang!”
Sword beam.
Or, to put it correctly, [Magic Blade Cannon].
It was a concentrated attack that I had developed shortly before I went to the dwarven village. It was based on Lefi’s [Dragon Breath].
I had not tried it yet after achieving race evolution, so I wondered how powerful it had become.
Normally, the Magic Blade Cannon required a bit of time to execute since it needed the power accumulated by Spirit Magic, but the preparations had already been completed.
“Whoa… this power… that’s not good. Everyone, prepare for impact!” (Finar)
Behind me, I heard the Demon King Finar sending instructions to his subordinates.
“I’m sorry, but there’s no room for you here! I’m going to extinguish your fire!!!!!!!” (Yuki)
I brandished Enne.
The space trembled.
After a sound resembling the gunfire from a large battleship cannon, the sky was pierced by a magic so dense that it was visualized.
–Oh no, that’s bad indeed.
I may have put a little too much magic power into it.
After the strike launched, I was hit by an unprecedented backlash that almost broke both of my arms, or rather, I was blown away, and in a panic, my three pairs of wings appeared, controlling my posture.
Then, the demon who was hit head-on by the blow, which was so strong that even I was shocked after I released it, was literally erased.
Not fatally wounded, blown away, or anything of that dimension.
It was total obliteration.
Roughly all of its body that was exposed to the attack was erased, leaving only the tips of its feet.
Of course, I was tired after releasing such a blow.
[…Oh. Amazing]]
“Oh, ooh… indeed…”
Enne’s voice sounded a little excited, while my face was twitching.
…My strongest attribute was [Water], and therefore, in terms of compatibility with spirits, I have good compatibility with Water Spirits.
I was expecting the Magic Blade Cannon that used Spirit Magic to be less powerful since there were no bodies of water, where water spirits reside, nearby.
However, I could only blankly stare as I imagined how powerful it would have been if it had been launched near a body of water…
I was a little stunned by the result in front of my eyes when a voice called out to me from behind.
“…Yuki, I don’t mean to tell you this after just having defeated the enemy, but… I’d like you to think a little more about the attack method that you will be using in the future in case something like this happens again.”
“…I, I’m sorry.”
I apologized to the Demon King Finar, who was smiling with a scary expression on his face.
