Great War Of The Demon God: True Form
“Here I come! Demon God Baron!”
I start dashing towards Baron. However, Baron kept his grin without moving from his throne.
“Humph, try making me move from here first”
Bloody looking down on me. In that case, I’ll have you let me go at it without holding back.
“Lightning Spear 100 Chain!”
I release spears of lightning towards Baron consecutively. Baron shows no signs of dodging even when he sees that, and he simply swings his arm vertically from bottom to top.
Immediately after, black entities appear from the ground; gooey humanoid something. They resemble the Demon Soldiers flooding the room Sieg and the others stayed behind in, but at the same time, they have a different vibe from them. There are five of those.
“Doppelganger. Go”
At Baron’s order, they transform their hands into all kinds of weapons and strike the spears of lightning down. And then they carry on to commence their attacks on me. Is he saying to defeat these fellows first?
Nevertheless, don’t these fellows have too much freedom with their weapons. One with a sword, one with a spear, one with a war hammer, one with bow and arrows, and one with scythes as its hands. Are you a praying mantis or something! However, I don’t have time to be concerned about such things!
“Out of the way! Lightning Vortex Weapon Endowment! Destruction Spear of Lightning Strike(Takemikazuchi)!”
I dodge the Doppelganger, which swings its sword over at me, and strike it with the Destruction Spear of Lightning Strike(Takemikazuchi) that had its potency amplified with Galadolg’s effect. The Doppelganger tried to block with its sword, but it got penetrated alongside its sword.
At the back, a Doppelganger is shooting arrows at me. It probably intended to strike at my opening, but I already knew about it with my Eye of Clairvoyance.
I crouch and dodge as it is without turning around and use the Space Magic, Warp. It’s a short distance Space Magic that can move within the range of my vision. I travel behind the bow Doppelganger and thrust at its neck?-like spot with Galadolg.
I avert my body and dodge the spear that thrusts over at me from the side, and a war hammer swings down over at me from above. I jumped backwards and dodged it, but the war hammer Doppelganger swung down as it is. And then the bow Doppelganger was dragged into it. The spear Doppelganger dodged it like me though.
And then, coming at me before my eyes was, the Doppelganger that transformed both its hands into scythes. I crouch and dodge its left scythe that slashes at me, and avoid the right scythe that slashes up at me from below with a backflip. This fellow, it feels like his movements are better than the other Doppelgangers.
The dual scythe Doppelganger follows up on its attack on me even further. The same goes for the war hammer Doppelganger and the spear Doppelganger from both sides. Tch, I don’t have time to be dealing with these fellows!
“How annoying! Celestial Cloak!”
A shining cloak appears on my back, and it heads towards the war hammer and spear Doppelgangers at once. The war hammer Doppelganger plants its foot and tries to catch and stop it, and the spear Doppelganger tries to dodge the cloak, but, of course, I won’t allow something like that.
It clashed with the war hammer, and the Doppelganger tried to endure it, but it couldn’t withstand it completely and was blown away. It carried on to be crushed by the cloak. The spear Doppelganger dodges it as well, but the current Celestial Cloak is being controlled by me. That’s why I chase after it endlessly.
And then, unable to completely avoid it, the cloak catches the Doppelganger’s arm. The cloak carries on to wrap around the spear Doppelganger’s body and slams it onto the ground.
“ーー!”
As for the dual hand-scythe Doppelganger, it was attacking me even during that time, but I repelled everything with the cloak. During that time, I accumulated Magic Power in Galadolg. Simultaneously as the cloak catches both scythes
「Offensive Spear Of Black Lightning(Kuroikazuchi)!」
a spear clad in black lightning penetrates the dual scythe Doppelganger. The moment the spear penetrates it, black lightning gushes through the Doppelganger and burns it to an appalling extent.
Disregarding the crumbling Doppelganger, I head towards Baron. The fellow’s still grinning on his throne.
“How is it. Feel like standing up yet?”
“Nope, not just yet. You’re only finally standing at the starting line. Next is this fellow. Come, Gradiel”
Gradiel, you say? Isn’t ‘Gradiel’ supposed to be staying behind in the previous room with Shishou? Don’t tell me, Shishou was!?
A jet black magic circle appears before my eyes as I’m thinking about that. And then, a single greatsword came out from within. That’s Gradiel? Isn’t that just a sword? However, in the next instant
Glare
, an eye opened up at the hilt part of the greatsword. Wha-, what’s that? As Baron summons a Doppelganger again and makes it hold that greatsword, Magic Power blows out from the greatsword and takes over the Doppelganger. What appeared from within was, the Demon King in jet black armour

Alexia’s Perspective
“I guess I will be coming then”
Azel, the monocled man standing before my eyes. I re-grip Twin Bell to re-affirm their sensation in my hands.
Azel starts dashing towards me. He’s fast! I’d heard about it from Lei beforehand; if I’m not wrong, although you won’t get hurt even if you get slashed by that knife, you’ll have just the pain run through you. I’ve got to be careful.
Azel aims for my neck without hesitation. I avert my body and dodge it, but he slashes at me with the knife he holds in his other hand. I catch and stop it with the Twin Bell in my right hand and carry on to jump backwards. At the same time as that
“Water Cutter!”
I activate a Water Magic. It should serve to hold him back at least. That’s what I thought, but Azel managed to carry on moving forward, and he ended up slashing it with his knife.
“How naive huh. Something of that extent cannot stop me!”
Kuh, although I caught and stopped Azel’s knife with Twin Bell, I’m gradually being pushed back. And then the knife grazes my shoulder. At that moment
“Ouch!”
pain runs through my shoulder. There’s no sensation of being cut though; I simply feel the pain in my body. It really is bothersome huh!
However, I can’t lose either. I cast the Water Magic, Water Cutter, while parrying his knives. Of course, something of this extent won’t work on Azel. It’ll simply get cut up by his knives. However, I close in on Azel during that time.
I slash at him with my left Twin Bell……as a feint, and mow down horizontally with the right. Azel catches and stops it without the slightest hint of panic, but I carry on to change my left Twin Bell’s slash into a thrust and thrust at him.
Azel slashes at me while bending with his left knife. I crouch and dodge that and sweep his leg. Right as Azel jumps and dodges it, I thrust at him with both Twin Bell!
However, he ended up using Twin Bell as footholds and dodged it. How is he so nimble!
“Now then, back to the beginning huh”
Azel grins at me. That smile of his seriously pisses me off.
