Chapter 149: Spirit’s Blessing
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
The moment everyone got ready to sacrifice their life―
A roar that shook the atmosphere resounded in the air above the battlefield.
The next moment, crimson hellfire incessantly rained down from the sky, neutralizing Belphegor’s attack.
Everyone wondered, “Who is that!?”.
Belphegor looked up in the sky and opened her eyes wide in shock.
Before her eyes appeared a pure white lion clad in silver armor with a pair of archangel wings on his back. Riding on this lion’s back was a beautiful, young elf.
「They’re back, huh!」
「We’ve been waiting for you, nyan!」
Stella and Vulcan cheered when they saw the white lion and the elf.
「Tama-chan! Aria-san!」
「I knew that you guys would make it back in time!」
Lily and Faeri also cheered upon seeing the two of them return.
Yes, the two newcomers were Tama in his Third Behemoth form and Aria, who was riding on his back.
「HAH!」
Aria leaped from Tama’s back. Using the power of Tempest Bringer, she propelled herself and took a nose dive toward Belphegor.
Belphegor released a flying slash toward Aria with her spirit sword Boltia.
Seeing the incoming slash, Aria let out a scream that shook the air and released her skill.
「《STARLIGHT BLADE》」
Aria’s brilliant slash contained the holy element, which reminded one of starlight. Her attack cut through Belphegor’s flying slash and her abdomen.
『AGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?』
Belphegor let out a deafening scream. The attack had wounded her abdomen, and it was too painful.
「I-Impossible…」
「Saint-sama… got hit?」
「What’s with that lion and elf?」
The Elebor tribe’s warriors started to lose their cool when they saw the scene unfolding before them.
The skill Aria had fired, 《Starlight Blade》, was the evolved version of 《Sacred Blade》. It had evolved due to Aria’s contract with the light spirit, Lightning. The skill had become ten times stronger than before.
Belphegor fell on her knees. Enduring the pain, she looked at Aria with bloodshot eyes.
Growl!
Tama landed beside Aria and growled.
The flame roar he had fired before to erase Belphegor’s attack was the evolved version of his 《Flame Howling》 after he made a contract with the fire spirit, Ifrit. The name of the evolved skill was 《Ifrit Howling》.
「It looks like you guys passed the test.」
「Tama-chan and Aria-oneechan are so cool!」
「Good grief! You two overdid yourselves.」
Ciel, May, and Cedric praised Aria and Tama.
Suddenly…
『GUH… HOW DARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!』
Belphegor let out a bestial scream. An ominous, purple aura enveloped her as purple lightning sparks appeared around her.
「Tama, she’s going to evolve! Time to go all out! 」
GROWL(Roger that, Master)!
Tama and Aria also got ready to go all out.
Just like what had happened back during their fight in the labyrinth of Usalda Pekura kingdom, Belphegor transformed into her second form, the dragon form.
『BEHOLD, My true power!』
Belphegor let out a warcry as the two wings on her back propelled her into the air.
「TAMA!」
Growl(Leave it to me)!
Aria mounted on Tama’s back again. The two of them soared into the sky and chased after Belphegor.
『《VORTEX EVIL SURTR》!』
Upon reaching high altitude, Belphegor turned around and fired her skill downward.
《Ifrit Howling》!
Tama responded by releasing his crimson hellfire. His attack burned every one of Belphegor’s demon swords to a cinder.
That wasn’t everything.
Tama howled again. This time, he invoked one of his inherent skills, 《Divine Protection of the Lion King》.
This skill gave tremendous buffs to Aria, Tama, and all of their allies, who were fighting on the ground.
「Leave Belphegor to those two! We will focus on Erebor tribe!」
Ciel shouted to her allies.
Hearing their hero’s words, the Horo village warriors, whose fighting spirits had been reignited due to the buffs from 《Divine Protection of the Lion King》, resumed their charge toward the Erebor tribe’s vanguard.
Stella and co. also went all out. They jumped toward the enemy’s formation with weapons. They instinctively understood that this was the chance to turn the tide of the war.
Thus, whether it was the vanguard or the rearguard, they used every bit of their power to annihilate their enemies.
《Ifrit Missile》!
Tama invoked another one of his inherent skills. A huge ballistic missile rushed toward Belphegor, but Belphegor sensed the danger of that skill. She turned around and let out a flying slash to cut down the missile.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The exploded 《Ifrit Missile》 dyed the sky bright red. Although Aria and Tama were safe from the heat thanks to 《Divine Protection of the Lion King》, the same couldn’t be said for Belphegor. She was in agonizing pain as the heat had burned her skin all over the place.
『GUUUUUUUUUUH! Then, how about this!』
Belphegor opened her huge dragon’s jaw.
Violent purple light started to gather inside her mouth.
「Breath attack, huh! Tama, let’s end this!」
Growl(Roger that, Master)!
Aria and Tama confirmed the situation with this short exchange. The next moment, Belphegor fired an ominous-colored breath attack that was covered in purple lightning from her dragon mouth.
《Ifrit Howling》!
Almost at the same time, Tama fired a holy crimson breath attack.
Both breath attacks clashed in the air. Their power was equal— No! Tama’s breath attack won by a small margin.
『Guh! 《Vortex Evil Surtr》!』
At this rate, I’m gonna lose!
Realizing this, Belphegor fired numerous demon swords.
「Fuuuu…」
Aria smiled. Seeing that daring smile, Belphegor was shocked.
The next moment—
「Starlight… CALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUR!」
Aria swung down Tempest Bringer. A torrent of holy light similar to starlight surged forth from her knives and fell toward Belphegor!
《Starlight Calibur》 was the branch skill of 《Excalibur》. It had appeared after Aria’s contract with the light spirit.
The torrent of holy light erased Belphegor’s attack along with Tama’s howl attack.
『I-IMPOSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE!』
Belphegor let out a miserable scream as the torrent of holy elemental attack was about to swallow her figure. She moved her giant wings in a hurry.
I won’t let you escape again! 《Elemental Manipulation Cannon》!
Tama noticed that Belphegor was trying to escape just like before. So he invoked the four 《Elemental Manipulation Cannon》, which had evolved after his contract with the four spirits.
The 《Ifrit Bit》 fired crimson hellfire!
The 《Undine Bit》 fired a laser-like water jet that smelled like the ocean!
The 《Sylphine Bit》 fired wind bullets made from super-compressed air!
And lastly, the 《Gnome Bit》 fired an extremely heavy earth bullet that was packed with the power of mother earth!
『I-Impossible… I’ve ruled this world! My plan! My plaaaaan…』
Belphegor let out an agonizing scream as the four elemental attacks empowered by the spirits’ power hit her. She exploded before she could finish her sentence.
「WE WON, TAMA…!」
Growl!
After making sure that Belphegor had really exploded and died, Aria and Tama went back to their comrades.
When they looked down on the ground, they confirmed that it was only a matter of time before their comrade would win the war. They saw the Horo village’s warriors letting out a loud, victorious cry.
「Well, let’s go back to everyone!」
Growl!
Tama flew down as he replied to Aria with a cheerful growl.
Five lights of spirits followed them.
It was such a majestic scene. It seemed as if the spirits were giving their blessings to Tama and co’s victory!
