Chapter 130: Premonition of a New Battle
『COME FORTH… 《EVIL LEGION》!』
Belphegor shouted as she raised the ominous sword in her hand to the sky. At the next moment, countless circular magical objects appeared in front of Belphegor.
A large number of monsters, including Armored Wolves and Living Armor, appeared out of those magic circles.
『GU-GUH……』
Belphegor let out an agonizing roar. Tears of blood ran down her eyes. Her condition made it seem that she had summoned a large number of monsters with the ominous sword in her hand at the cost of her life force.
『Ufufufu… now, wake up, my minions!』
Belphegor ordered the monsters to wake up. All the monsters rushed toward Aria and co. while screaming.
「NYAN《Flame Howling》!」
However, they received a warm welcome from Tama’s flame roar. The flame wrapped up the vanguard of those monsters, all at once.
But…
『AHAHAHAHA――! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!』
Belphegor laughed even louder than before. More monsters crawled out of the magic circles.
「《Octaleap》――!」
Ciel shouted as she leaped in the air. She jumped so quickly that she closed in on Belphegor just a second after the latter had summoned new monsters.
If an attack was to be executed in a straight line, Aria’s 《Acceleration》 was the fastest. However, if it involved moving while jumping around, Ciel’s 《Octaleap》 skill was faster.
At this moment, Tama realized that Ciel’s bunny girl combat uniform was truly… geared for high-speed combat without hindering her movement.
Ciel raised her 《Celcius Blade》 overhead, but Belphegor used 《Evil Surtr》 at once. Countless cursed swords rushed toward Ciel all at once.
「《Celcius Protection》!」
Ciel again invoked her ice shield the moment she landed on the ground. Then, she used 《Octaleap》 again.
「Guh… this monster army and the demon sword attacking together is really troublesome…」
Even her attempt to strike down Belphegor with sheer speed ended up in failure. In front of such reality, a vexed expression appeared on Ciel’s face.
「Tama! Use your trump card!」
「Nya~n (Roger that, master)!」
Tama, who had just fired his 《Elemental Howl》 toward the crowd of monsters, stopped upon hearing Aria’s voice.
Then, he shot forth his 《Elemental Howl》 for the last time as he nodded at Aria.
He could finally focus his mind after creating some distance from the monsters’ vanguard …
（Here we… GO!）
At the next moment, he released his power.
A blinding silver light enveloped Tama. The silver light became brighter and bigger. It finally took a shape.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Then, a roar that shook the atmosphere resounded in the room.
The figure of a beautiful yet regal snow-white lion appeared from the light.
Tama had evolved into his third Form.
『Sacred… Beast!?』
Belphegor couldn’t hide her shock.
Her shock was only natural. Tama’s current figure was the figure of the sacred beast who had sealed the demon god along with the first generation hero.
「GRRR (BURN TO ASHES)!」
Tama let out a growl. He opened his jaw and fired 《Flame Howling》, whose attribute had transformed into holy the flame due to the effect of his evolution.
The roar annihilated the monster army in a second. The power of Tama’s attack was so terrifying that it also burned the magic circles Belphegor had created to ashes.
『KUH…!? HOW DARE YOU… HOW DARE YOU!』
Seeing the destruction of the skill she had invoked at the cost of her life, Belphegor cursed Tama as bloody tears gushed down her cheeks.
Tama sent a glare toward the crying Belphegor.
In front of that gaze, Belphegor faltered for a moment.
Yet ―
『So be it… I’ll use my trump card…』
Her expression turned somber. The ominous sword in her hand cast a purple light, and the same ominous light appeared from inside Belphegor’s dragon jaw.
「…! Be careful, she’s going to use dragon breath! Take her down with your everything!」
Ciel, who saw through Belphegor’s intentions, warned everyone.
A gigantic amount of energy could be felt from Belphegor’s jaw. It seemed that even a defensive skill couldn’t protect Tama and the others from Belphegor’s dragon breath.
Since that was the case, Tama and co. had no choice but to counter the attack with an equally powerful attack of their own.
『TAKE THIS! 《EVIL BURST》!』
Belphegor fired an ominous light beam from her dragon jaw.
《FLAME HOWLING》!
「EX――CALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!」
Tama fired his holy element’s 《Elemental Howl》, while Aria used her trump card, the sacred blade.
「Father, Mother, lend me your power! 《CHAOS CALIBURN》!」
May pointed her staff to the front, then she compressed a high-density energy beam of the darkness element and holy element in front of her. Finally, she fired that compressed energy beam.
「I’ll use my trump card too! The gate of the spirit world, open!… 《Celcius Buster》―」
Lastly, Ciel opened a 〝Gate? on top of her head and fired the combined energy beam of the ice element and the holy element from within it.
When Aria and co’s attacks clashed against Belphegor’s attack, their power turned out to be evenly matched.
In this situation, the one who got drained of their energy first would lose. The situation should’ve been like that, but…
―COME FORTH 《ELEMENTAL MANIPULATION CANNON》!
Tama invoked another four 《Elemental Manipulation Cannon》 as he maintained his 《Flame Howling》.
With parallel activation, Tama used elemental attacks from each bit to attack the defenseless Belphegor.
『GAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII――!?』
Belphegor painfully screamed upon receiving an unexpected attack.
Her dragon breath stopped, and she got engulfed in everyone’s attack!
「We… did it…」
「Yes, good job.」
Ciel nodded as she replied to Aria’s remark. As he looked at them, even Tama let out a low growl. May directly sprawled on the floor and muttered, 「So tire~d!」
After being engulfed in Tama and co’s attacks, the Belphegor who had come from the future had vanished without even leaving behind a speck of dust.
However, the moment they thought it was case closed―
『UFUFUFU…』
A voice resounded in the room.
Aria and co. turned their eyes toward the origin of that voice.
They saw that the crystal that had sealed up Belphegor of this era was smashed up.
『Ufufu… I’m finally out thanks to my future self…』
Belphegor came out from the crystal that was her seal.
And then—
『See you, ufufufu…』
Saying those words, she rose in the air.
「《Black Demonic Spear》!」
May immediately used her darkness magic skill.
However, Belphegor dodged that attack. She vanished inside of the gate Ciel had opened while preparing her attack.
「No way! I… let my guard down!」
Ciel glared at the gate with a pale face.
「The Belphegor of this era has revived… Moreover, what she did before…」
Just like Ciel, Aria also glared at the gate with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Ciel explained to Aria.
「That gate connects to the spirit world. Belphegor… she escaped to spirit world… to Ark!」
