「Fu, what a ridiculous thing to say. Evil Dragon-sama is the ultimate and strongest being. To be saying something like “Making him real”… Know your manners.」
Rēko laughed through her nose while looking at the fake kin.
One could afford it if they don’t think that Rēvendia is just a mere lizard. But for Ariante, it is a story that she can’t just brush off.
In fact, Rēvendia has turned into a demon.
「Right now… So the strange magical power in Rēvendia is because of your work?」
「Yes, that’s right. I had a very hard time, you know. That lizard’s body is just too vulnerable to hold a lot of magic power, so I had to prepare a lot of things.」
I can’t see his expression behind his mask.
If the fake kin is telling the truth, I want to know just what kind of “preparation” he had to do.
After all, Rēvendia is genuinely a “small fish” lizard.
No matter how much or how powerful magic power is poured to him, it will just leak out like a basin without a bottom.
Moreover, if it is a demon’s magic power, it is even more unsuitable.
He seems to be able to handle some magic power from a neutral being like from a spirit, and Rēvendia has such a gentle nature in the first place. It can be said that his affinity with evil magic power is the worst. Just like oil and water.
「Answer. How did you do it?」
「The outline is similar to your special move, female knight.」
「What?」
「It’s a big deal, you know. You are a human being, and yet you never get old, right?」
This guy.
Just how much did he know about our side?
But before I could probe more information, Rēko interrupts.
「Wait. It would be a problem if you compare her with Evil Dragon-sama. Evil Dragon-sama is a true immortal being, that female knight over there is just someone who is dependant on some age regression drug.」
「…ahh, that’s exactly right. Or are you saying that you are filling Rēvendia with medicine too?」
「Nonono. You don’t need to be so modest, you know. I know that you are keeping your youth “even without medicine”.」
The fake kin clapped his hands as if to praise.
Rēko looked at Ariante a little skeptically.
「I have also lived for a long time. And I know all about your secret technique, along with the traditional magic of a country that is known as the magic country. Referencing them, I have made my preparation to make Rēvendia “real”. Do you want to hear more?」
「No, if you went as far as to ask that, I’ll think the rest of it myself.」
It’s dangerous to stay at his pace any longer.
Ariante decided that and snapped her fingers.
「Rēko.」
「What.」
「I actually kept a message from Rēvendia.」
「Mu. Why did he give you a message and not me?」
I don’t wanna do it this way, but it can’t be helped.
「”In the event of an emergency, you are allowed to power-up to 10 times your current strength.” or so he said. Completely extinguish that fake kin to the point where he cannot revive.」
「You should have said that faster.」
And it ended in an instant.
Without any sound, Rēko grabbed the neck of the fake kin and released a terrifying amount of magic power from her palm.
「Know eternal emptiness and disappear. Turn into ashes that can never return. Secret technique, “The Great Fang of The Void”.」
Gyushiyari, to.
When Rēko broke the fake kin’s neck, his body crumbled to dust.
「Did you see? This is one of Evil Dragon-sama’s secret techniques where he engraves the concept of death onto the enemy where it could even kill immortals. I could not use it until now, but I could use it after I powered up 10 times. Evil Dragon-sama has foreseen that he had survived after all…」
「Yeah, that’s right.」
I would have to think of a proper ad lib if he didn’t die right there.
Ariante checked the remaining dust of the fake kin to confirm. There are no longer any signs of him, but—
「Rēko. Is there a possibility that this guy is an alter ego or a substitute for example? Like the grasshopper spirit demon you fought before.」
「No problem. It’s no matter if it was a substitute or whatever, if he was hit by the technique, the concept of death will propagate to the main body and will surely erase its existence.」
「What a reassuring technique.」
Somehow or another, it is a technique that I want you to use against pests like cockroaches.
If you use it on an animal, it will be wiped out.
However, it feels out of place to be able to easily beat him like this.
「Now, let’s report back to Evil Dragon-sama that the insolent fellow has completely disappeared this time.」
「…you’re right.」
Anyway, we got some information. It will be difficult to judge whether it is fake or not, but it should likely be of help to infer what is happening to Rēvendia.
Ariante touched Rēko’s shoulder.
At the same time, Rēko activates a mysterious magic and instantly teleports to the Hunt God’s cave.
And immediately after that,
「It’s bad, Ariante-san! Lizard-san is! Lizard-san is!」
The Saintess tackled while crying.
Rēko immediately grabbed her face, and asked back.
「What happened to Evil Dragon-sama? 」
「Mugugu… It’s bad! He’s gone…」
Ariante looked around the cave as if searching for something. Certainly, there is only the Saintess, The Hunt God, Sousou, and Doradora. Rēvendia can’t be seen.
Sousou and the Hunt God rested their backs at the cave’s wall as if they were exhausted.
Rēko rushed to Sousou,
「What happened?」
「I also don’t really understand. Geez, just what’s wrong with him… what does he mean by enemy.」
「Enemy? Is it an enemy attack?」
Sousou shook her head.
「Even though no enemy came, he suddenly started to run outside by himself, saying ”Everyone get down” and shaking off our restraint…」
