Chapter 159: The Four-Way Battle – Eld and Marie
[space_man][space_man]Eld pushed the Pig-faced Degraded Demon back with ice and stopped at a certain distance.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Damn you…… Pushing me back with ice, you think you’re so smart…… But you picked the wrong opponent to use ice against.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The Pig-faced Degraded Demon took a deep breath and exhaled through his nose. Flames erupted and attacked Eld. Eld was surprised and dodged to the left.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”How’s that! I’m Jushia-sama, the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings! Curse your misfortune for choosing the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh, even the grass is burnt to a crisp. I didn’t expect you to breathe fire from your nose.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld was impressed as he looked at the grass scorched by Jushia’s flames.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Looking away during battle, you amateur! Take this!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Jushia shot flames from his side towards Eld. Eld swung Tempera and froze the approaching flames.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You said you were the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, but are you really? You’re awfully weak.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld pointed the tip of his sword at Jushia. Jushia pulled the frozen flames out of his nose.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Freezing my flames, you’re kidding me. But the reason I’m the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings is because of this!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Jushia looked up and spouted water. Eld had a bad feeling and had already moved away. However, when a single drop splashed onto his hand, he felt the magic power throughout his body become unusable.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”No way……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ha-ha-ha-ha! How’s that! The liquid that seals you humans’ magic power is refined from me!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Ignoring Jushia’s loud laughter, Eld wiped his hand with his sleeve.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It was just a drop, so it’s not too bad…… This is a bit of a hassle…… The report……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld almost held his head in his hands.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”This time, I’ll make you eat it directly and completely disable your magic power!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Jushia faced Eld and forcefully ejected the liquid from his nose.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You cheeky human! I’m going to torture you slowly!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Jushia laughed, convinced of his victory.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You’re an idiot.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld swung Tempera and froze the approaching liquid. Then, the ice extended towards Jushia and froze his body.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Wh-what is this……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I can freeze flames, so why would I let you splash me with liquid?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Da-damn you…… Melt me!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld sighed.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”No way. For now, I’ll turn you into an ice statue so you’re easier to carry.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Stop it! Stop it~!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld ignored his words and swung Tempera.
[space_man]
[space_man]
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie was looking for the Degraded Demon she had kicked away. She didn’t think he would be defeated with a single kick, but honestly, she felt like she might have misjudged her strength.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]While she was thinking about that, something flew down from the sky. Marie quickly dodged and looked at what had stuck into the ground.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”A bird’s…… feather?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You dodged well~!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]A high-pitched voice echoed from above. Looking up, she saw a Degraded Demon flying.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”A bird-type Degraded Demon…… This is a bit troublesome.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s a big deal for me, Injui-sama, to be dispatched for a single human, but I’ll take your life!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Injui struck a pose and stopped in mid-air.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ugh…… Such a loser-like line……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie was dumbfounded.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Take this!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]When Injui flapped his wings, feathers came out and flew towards Marie. Marie dodged them, jumped up, and tried to punch Injui, but he dodged. Marie landed after falling.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Flying opponents are really troublesome. If Eld hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have chosen this guy.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]While saying that, Marie pointed her palm towards Injui.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Fireball!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]A fireball was released from Marie’s palm and flew towards Injui. Injui dodged it easily.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What’s with this level of attack? Besides, you can only shoot one at a time, so in the end……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Suddenly feeling heat behind him, Injui quickly dodged. A fireball rose from the ground where he had been.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Feeling heat from behind him again, Injui dodged. Another fireball flew from the ground. On the ground, Marie was repeating the process of firing a fireball, moving simultaneously, firing again behind Injui, and moving again.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You’re wasting your time! No matter how many times you shoot, I’m not afraid of a single fireball!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Injui shouted as he landed on the ground.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Then how about this!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie shouted back, but she didn’t seem to be firing a fireball. However, she was moving her hands, so it was clear she was manipulating something. While Injui was wondering what she was doing, he felt heat behind him again. But the amount of heat was incomparable to before. When Injui turned around, a giant fireball was approaching.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What’s with this size!!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Injui quickly moved to dodge. However, the fireball burst on the way, and he was caught in the explosion.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I see~. Attacking with magic might be pretty good too.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie launched a fireball into the sky and held it above Injui. When a certain number had accumulated, she combined them and manipulated them to fall towards the ground. When Injui entered her range, she detonated it.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie looked up at the sky, wondering if Injui would fall down burnt, but Injui charged out of the smoke from the explosion at tremendous speed.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ha-ha~! I’m not going to be defeated by an explosion of this level!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Injui headed towards Marie.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Yeah. I wasn’t trying to defeat you with that explosion anyway.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]She dodged Injui’s approach with a graceful leap and landed on his back.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Wh-what are you doing!!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”We’ve been fighting in the air, which you’re good at, so now let’s fight on the ground.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie punched Injui’s back, and the impact sent them both crashing to the ground. Just before they hit the ground, Marie jumped off Injui. A tremendous sound and impact echoed around them.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”To-to ride on someone’s back…… Yo-you’re amazing…… I-I can’t believe a human…… is capable of this……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Injui got up once, but as he finished speaking, he collapsed to his knees.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Marie watched for a while and confirmed that he was completely dead.
