“Now, counterattack! I’ll show you Arisa-chan’s true power.”
Arisa declared as she stared at the Demon King of the lamia.
A faint purple light flickered over the surface of Arisa’s body.
It was the sign of activating her unique skills: Full Power Unleashed (Over Boost) and Unyielding and Indomitable (Never Give Up).
Once, this unstoppable combo of Arisa’s giant killing ability had even reached God Zaikuon.
“You’ll regret missing your chance with the Meteor,” she said.
“Arisa—”
Hikaru showed concern, but Arisa shook her head slightly.
“Haste beats delay.”
Instead of anti-god magic, Arisa unleashed advanced spatial magic’s Spatial Destruction (Smasher).
The Demon King’s Aegis couldn’t respond to an attack from outside its perception—something both heroes had proven.
The strike, amplified many times over by unique skills, shattered the Demon King’s defenses and tore its body to shreds.
To finish it off, a massive holy bullet from Lulu’s floating turret’s main cannon struck the Demon King’s head, but the Aegis blocked it.

“Ramiko-san, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Nai.”
Hero Fuu’s question was met with a flat voice.
“Is there anything I can do? If it’s something I can help with, I’ll do anything.”
While casting a healing spell using his Master Wizard power, Hero Fuu asked again.
“I can do it, aru.”
“Really? Then do it!”
Without asking what it was, Hero Fuu readily agreed.
“It’s dangerous, aru.”
“If I’m with Ramiko-san, danger doesn’t matter! We are one in body and mind!”
Hero Fuu declared enthusiastically, his face red.
Reflecting the Demon King’s hesitation, the flesh wall flickered several times.
“…Ramiko-san?”
“One in body and mind, naru.”
Unable to bear the silence, Hero Fuu called out, and there was a reply.
The walls of the room protecting Hero Fuu pulsed.
“Ramiko-san? What are you—”
Before he could finish asking, the walls on all sides swallowed Hero Fuu.
“Together, naru.”
Sounds of bones cracking and fibers tearing continued for a while.
“Authority, eta.”
Four blue lights appeared on the Demon King’s body.
It was as if proof that the Demon King had gained the authority—the unique skill—of God Parion that Hero Fuu had possessed.
◇
“…The Demon King disappeared?”
The Demon King, bearing the four blue lights, suddenly vanished.
“Arisa, can you tell where it is?”
“No, I can’t—Tama!”
‘Nyu~ I’m here but not here~?’
Neither Arisa’s spatial magic nor ninja Tama’s detection could locate its current position.
‘Above! That’s it!’
At Pochi’s warning, the Demon King appeared on the throne, plunging two holy daggers into it.
The barrier protecting the holy daggers and throne clashed intensely, scattering fierce sparks and violet lightning.
“No way!”
Looking up, Arisa screamed.
The defensive barrier protecting the throne shattered in a single attack.
“Emergency evacuation!”
Nana slid the throne away, escaping the Demon King’s pursuit.
“Layered Giant Shield.”
“Hyper Isolation Wall.”
Hikaru and Arisa’s defensive magic activated but shattered as they countered the Demon King’s attack.
From beyond came the Demon King’s snake hair beams.
“Phalanx!”
Just as Lulu’s armored disposable shield blocked it, Nana restored the throne’s defensive barrier.
Seeing this, the Demon King cloaked itself in a bluish-black aura and vanished again.
Nana randomly changed position midair to avoid the same attack.
“Tama, take everyone back.”
‘Aye aye~!’
From Arisa’s shadow appeared Liza and Pochi, and shortly after, Tama returned with the two heroes.
“Whoa, where is this?”
“Flashy armor and purple hair—Hero Nameless!”
“So, this is inside that sphere!”
“Oh? You brought these kids along too—”
Arisa pondered briefly, then asked,
“Do you know where the Demon King is?”
“Seigi.”
“Got it.”
When Hero Yuuki spoke, the enemy detection expert Hero Seigi nodded.
“That’s the unique skill Fuu had, stolen by the Demon King.”
