Ascension
The thing that laid snugly in Asch’s hand was, a small bag. He peeks inside curiously and pours the countless pills all into his mouth. He sticks his tongue out, making sure that he by no means spills any of it. All while carrying the resolve to receive an intense pain and wicked impulses that he assumes will come around from now on.
“……u゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛o゛h”
With that strange shouting, the Joker Demon, looks in the Dark Magician’s direction.
“Kueeeeeh”
Lokiel, again, smiles uncannily. He got himself a new enjoyment of tormenting the battered Rayne and Mira while thinking, what would be a fun way to kill them; in what sequence should it kill them, to be able to see their anguish expressions; how will they resist, struggle, and fall into the depths of despair this time around.
While panting because of the intense pain, the Dark Magician, too, smiles. And then, while pointing at his own eyes, he mutters whisperingly.
“I’ll gouge your eyes as well this time around”
At those words of the Dark Magician. At his gesture. At his expression.
“Kueh……kueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh”
The Joker Demon starts shouting like it went insane.
It recalled that, once, there was a human who trampled on its pride. It recalled the bitter memory of having its eyes gouged, having its face punched over and over and over again, and being forcefully destroyed from reality.
Lokiel charges toward the Dark Magician, without bothering with neither Raynes nor Mira. It won’t allow that existence to be, not even for a single moment. With its sharp gloves, the Dark Magician’s head immediately flies off――
or so it should.
――Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punch Punchh!
Before it knew it, it was knocked down; its face punched consecutively. Lokiel couldn’t comprehend, what had happened.
Of course, regular punches, deal no damage.
The Dark Magician, he knew that as well.
However, Asch punches it continuously. To give it a humiliation like never before. To make it even more enraged and lose itself. For the one move to destroy the Joker Demon that possesses absolute power to visit.
Magic Drug. A dosage that’ll kill an ordinary person hundreds of times over, a dosage that’s tens of times what Lily consumed, the undying Dark Magician consumed it all without even a moment of hesitation. He acquired the superhuman magic power and strength he could obtain from that, trading it for the agonising pain of being mangled thousands of times over in an instant.
Before long.
With all his strength, he gouges the eyes of Lokiel, that’s in a dazed state.
“KUEEEEeeee! KUEeeeeeee―――――――――!”
The Joker Demon curls up into a ball on that spot while screaming over and over.
Staring at that sight that he once saw,
“As I thought……the eyes of Demon are soft”
the Dark Magician, laughed loudly.
And then, he kicked the curled-up Joker Demon’s solar plexus and sent it flying, blowing it all the way to a deserted location.
“This is……genuinely……the last card up my sleeve”
Muttering that.
Asch started chanting his magic.
