Chapter 84.2
“Who else can’t use it?” (Arnos)
Awkwardly all eight members of the fan union raise their hands.
“…….I don’t think they’ll die if I leave them alone……… Should I just let them float in the lake?” (Arnos)
“Should I support them?” (Misha)
If Misha uses <Coco> on them then all 8 members of the fan union should be able to manage.
“That would be a heavy burden on you though Misha.” (Sasha)
“It’s not a problem you need to worry about.” (Arnos)
I cast <Coco> on myself and dive into the lake.
Using <Fres> I fly through the water and head to the caves that’s our base area.
“Hang on. Aren’t you being a bit irresponsible?” (Sasha)
Sasha and the others soon follow after me.
When we arrive at the base we hear Diego’s voice through <Liikus>.
“Are both forces ready? Let’s begin the test between the demon king academy 1st years and the hero academy 3rd years. Keep the honour and pride of your ancestors and fight fairly.” (Diego)
Diego signals the start of the test.
“First of all, we need to do something about the holy barrier. While in it the power of the mazoku is halved.” (Sasha)
“Take away the heroes badges?” (Misha)
Misha and Sasha look at me.
“The holy water barrier is established and freely moved through the flow of the lake water that in turn is controlled by the school badges. All it really is is a magic technique. We only have to stop the water flow.” (Arnos)
“But how do we do that?” (Misa)
“Very easily.” (Arnos)
I hold my hand in front of me and form a magic circle. It rapidly expands and causes particles of magic power to rise.
“………Eh………….?”
Sasha who’s seen this magic many times lets out a surprised voice.
“Wai…wait….hang on……what… this magic is not normal…..! Even when we were self-studying….?” (Sasha)
“You probably learned this in history class Sasha. The name of the magic that the demon king of tyranny used to burn all of Deiruheido 2000 years ago?” (Arnos)
Sasha lets out an astonished voice.
“Weren’t you being serious before…….?” (Sasha)
“Of course I was, but if I don’t suppress it properly entire countries will disappear but due to this holy water barrier the power should be just about right now.” (Arnos)
The black sun appears from the magic formation.
“Perish humans. Bear witness to the power of the demon king.” (Arnos)
The dark light emitted from the jet back sun covered the entire bottom of the lake.
I fire <Geo Greys> and in an instant, both the normal water and the holy water are vaporised.
As if total night had come the holy lake continued to burn under the jet black sun.
“Fumu. You don’t need to hold your breath anymore Ray.” (Arnos)
Before long, light begins to penetrate the darkness and it starts to clear up.
The water from lake Seimei had completely dried up and the students from the hero side were lying on the floor of what was once an underwater city.
“If there’s no water there’s no point worrying about controlling the water flow. No matter how much holy water flows in now they cant re-establish the barrier.” (Arnos)
I cast my eye over to the far lakeshore to see Diego trembling with fear.
“…….Ridiculous…… the water from lake Seimei…….. The water given by the gods has dried up…….. with just one spell……” (Diego)
He looks at the empty lake Seimei with surprise.
None of the prostrate 3rd years tried to move.
Have you given up on the battle already?
I use magic and pick up the fallen heroes and deposit them on the lakeshore.
“Fumu. Was the match over with my opening move? Even if they are called heroes the 3rd year’s don’t amount to much.” (Arnos)
I fling those word at Jergakanon using <Liikus>
Heine, Laos and Ledoraino all have Grimm expressions on their faces.
“……What…that….. was it possible to completely evaporate the lake with just one spell?……. That bastard…… Isn’t he actually a monster? Even if he’s not the demon king is this really the level of a reincarnated person……?” (Laos)
“……Apparently, he’s clearly different from the 3rd years over there……. To think our ancestors were dealing with these guys…… Well, humans managed to survive to this day……” (Ledoriano)
“But the stronger they are the better it feels when they give up right? If we contain them in a barrier then they should be manageable right?” (Heine)
The 3 of them let out words like that.
“What are you playing around at? It’s your turn now so get down here quickly.” (Arnos)
