No, normally it won’t be weird to die with that damage. You really have a strong build, don’t you?”
Ah, is that right? So for a trash like me who just became a Devil, this wound is lethal, huh. Just like I thought. I can feel pain even from inside my body. It’s not the pain of getting hit but something worse. It feels as if my muscles and bones are melting because of the heat. The pain is transmitted directly by my nerves, so letting my guard down even once will feel like it’s going to screw my head. I will probably die if I don’t get healed soon. But. I can’t just sit here. But I don’t have any strength in my legs. Damn. Is this the end for me? Then I look at Asia. A girl who is sleeping quietly. I’m sorry for being noisy. Yeah, I’m all right. I’m seriously fine. I’m quite strongly built. So it’s not a problem. See, look? I’m going to ease some of the regrets you have left, Asia. “At times like this, are we supposed to pray to God?”
Suddenly that slipped out of my mouth without realising it. “?”
Raynare seems puzzled. But I continue to talk. “But God is no good. He didn’t listen to me before, and he didn’t even help a good girl like Asia at all. Hahaha, such a useless God.”
“I wonder what you are trying to say. Did you finally break?”
“Then, him. Maou-sama, will you listen to my wish? You exist, right? Are you listening? I’m also a Devil, so will you listen to my wish?”
“……He's totally lost it. This boy is talking to himself in a place like this.”
“I’m going to bash this shitty Fallen Angel in front of me, so please make sure no on interferes. I seriously don’t want anyone to interfere. I also don’t need any back up. I will do it myself. And my legs are fine as well. I will get up on my own. So make it a one on one fight. It’s a good situation. My anger is so high that I think I can handle this pain. –Just one hit is enough. ……Please let me hit her.”
My legs can move. I have already lost the sensation in my legs. Just moving it by a millimetre gives me intense pain. But it can still move. My butt leaves the floor. My body hasn’t stopped shaking. Even so, my body gets up slowly. It hurts. My whole body hurts. But I can move. I can still move. I just have to endure it until I hit her once. “—! I-Impossible! Your body isn’t in a condition to move! Because of the damage of light—”
I approach Raynare slowly who has a shocked look on her face. And I stood up. Right in front of her eyes. With my feet shaking and lots of blood flowing out of me. “Hey, Ex-girlfriend. I’ve been through a lot because of you.”
“……There’s no way you can stand! A Low-class Devil shouldn’t be able to stand up with those wounds! The lights are burning your insides from within your body!? A Low-class Devil who doesn’t have the demonic-power to ease the effect of light shouldn't be able endure it!”
“Yeah, it hurts. It really hurts. I’m even close to losing my consciousness. But you know, my hatred towards you is so great that I can endure this.”
I glared straight at my opponent without even blinking. My next hit will be my last blow. If I use it, I will fall down. That’s why I have to finish it with my next hit. I can’t look away from my target. “Hey, my Sacred Gear. You still have the power to punch this thing in front of me, right? Then let’s finish it.”
[Explosion!!] The sound from the jewel made just now sounded especially strong. The jewel shines even brighter. Such a bright light. It’s dazzling. But unlike the light of a Fallen Angel, this light didn’t give damage to me but instead it gives me peace. Just getting touched by this light feels like I am over flowing with power. It’s similar to the light of heal that belongs to Asia. So there is a light that doesn’t cause harm to Devils. I take a step forward. The blood splashes onto the ground from my wounds. I also coughed some blood. Looks like I’m in a critical condition. There is no stopping to the pain I’m feeling right now. It even reaches up to my brain. But it’s okay. I can still move. Even now, my gauntlet is flowing power into me. When I was against Raynare at evening, I was scared of the power difference between us. My instinct as a Devil instinct grasped hold of the overwhelming power difference between us, and my body didn’t stop shaking because of it. That time, I thought that I could never beat her. But it’s different now. The power I’m receiving from this gauntlet is insane. I somehow know. It’s possibly because I’m the Sacred Gear possessor. This power won’t last forever. This power is one time only. If I use it against my enemy even once, then it will end there. Even though the Sacred Gear isn’t telling me verbally, it’s telling me physically. I made a posture to punch. I have no experience in fighting. But it will be okay if I hit her once. My target is the shitty Fallen Angel that is in front of me. I’m definitely going to hit her. I’m absolutely not going to miss it. “……Impossible. What is this? Why is something like this happening……? Isn’t that Sacred Gear supposed to be the [Twice Critical] which doubles the power of the possessor? ……It can’t be. It’s not possible. Why has your power surpassed mine……? This wave of demonic-power I’m feeling...... is that of a Middle-class……no, that of a High-class Devil……”
My power is that of a High-class Devil? Is it because of my Sacred Gear? Hey hey, weren’t you supposed to be a Sacred Gear that just doubles my power? Buchou is the only High-class Devil I met, so it means that I’m currently about the same strength as her. “Lies! This is all lies! I am the Fallen Angel that has attained the ultimate healing power! I turned into a superior being by obtaining this [Twilight Healing]! I received the right to be loved by Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama! I wouldn’t lose to some low-life like you!”
Raynare once again has a spear of light in both her hands. BUUN. I hit it to the side with my fist. The spears of light disappear easily. Seeing me hit away her spears with ease, Raynare’s face gets even paler. “N-No!”
Raynare is flapping her black wings, and is about to fly away. Is she trying to run away? Hey hey, you were looking down and laughing at me till a few seconds ago. You run away as soon as you find out that you can’t win? Who do you think you are? But I won’t let you escape. Like hell I would! TAP
I went up to her at the same time she’s about to fly, and I grabbed her arm. I have unbelievable speed. A speed that even the Fallen Angel can’t react to. The arm I’m holding onto feels unreliable, and it’s so small that she looks weak. I pulled her arm towards me. I definitely won’t let her go. “I won’t let you get away, fool.”
“I’m superior—!”
“Blow away, you shitty Angel!”
“Damn yoooooooou! Low-class Deeeeeevil!”
“Uoryaaaaaaaa!”
The gauntlet released all of its energy. All the strength gathered in my left arm, and I concentrated them on my fist. I used that fist to punch straight and accurately at the face of the enemy I detest. HIT!! The hard sound echoes.
