“The punching and kicking techniques were exactly the styles of Abyss.”
The styles of Abyss.
This was the unique techniques that Demon King constantly polished and finally achieved during the long years of struggle with Riley.
Nainiae confirmed that the technique was the “Abyss style” used by Abyss or the demon who was diametrically opposed to Riley in the past life. She gritted her teeth and straightened her upper body.
“P…Pri…”
Nainiae found out who Abyss was going to tease next. She wanted to warn that person, but she only opened her mouth without making a sound.
“Ahem… My voice!”
Nainiae, who couldn’t breathe normally and couldn’t make a sound, felt that she should change her way, so she conveyed her voice to Priesia’s mind.
<Priesia, Abyss’s next target is you. Please set up the defense network as soon as possible.>
Hearing the voice of Nainiae coming directly from her mind, Priesia’s shoulders kept trembling, but she didn’t seem to panic. According to Nainiae, the defense network was quickly built.
“Eh? Is there a priest?”
Abyss kicked Nara’s abdomen and punched on the ground. Because of that, even Iril sat down on the floor. Abyss then stared at Sera and asked the aforementioned question… but didn’t hear her answer.
“Even if I tell you, you cannot benefit from it!”
Sera did not answer him but pulled out her own sword.
“This is also very sharp… It’s exactly the opposite from the previous one. But, it’s still not sharp enough.”
Abyss’s gaze shifted from Priesia to Sera, seeming to want to teach Sera a lesson. When he frowned, Nainiae conveyed message to Sera’s mind.
<Sera, please meet with Priesia first…>
After receiving the message sent by Nainiae, Sera’s body immediately tilted backwards.
“Why can’t I move my leg?”
Unable to focus on Nainiae’s message in her mind, Sera found her body falling backwards uncontrollably and she looked back in a panic.
“Teleporting?”
Sera found that Abyss, who had been in front of her, instantly moved to her back and blocked her feet behind her ankles, so she fell.
“Want to meet with the priest?”
Before Sera, who had been kicked by Abyss, fell to the ground, Abyss grabbed her ankle and asked the question.
“…?!”
He just threw her out.
“Eh!”
“…Ah, Ah Ah!”
Priesia finally set up the defense net. However, when Sera flew over to her, in order to prevent Sera from being injured, Priesia hesitated for a while and then put away the defense net.
“Fuck, I forgot Priesia lacks experience.”
Looking at Priesia, who was on pins and needles after putting away the defense net, Ian, who had been standing by next to her, felt that he had to take action, so he pulled out the sword.
“Priesia, start with the treatment of Nainiae and Nara, and then Sera and Iril…”
Ian tried to catch Sera who was flying over here. However, when he found that Abyss had lowered his upper body again and was running over here, he gritted his teeth.
“Shit, I’m really caught between a rock and a hard place.”
If Ian caught Sera, he would be attacked by Abyss. If he didn’t catch Sera, Sera would be seriously injured.
“If only I have two bodies.”
Ian showed a helpless expression, threw the sword that had just been pulled out on the ground and opened his arms.
“Eh?”
He has only one goal: to catch Sera.
“…Cough!”
“…Ah!”
Abyss’s face suddenly appeared in front of Ian who safely caught Sera.
“…”
Ian gently held Sera who seemed to have been suffocating. Unlike the others, he didn’t tremble, but instead he glared at Abyss in front of him without regret.
“…”
Perhaps Abyss was curious about the number of wrinkles on Ian’s face. This time, Abyss, who hadn’t moved, didn’t say a word and started to glare at Ian as if they were competing.
“…”
“…”
At the same time as Abyss and Ian started to glare at each other, Abyss stopped moving, and Priesia, standing next to Ian, began to burp involuntarily.
“Burp.”
From the time Nainiae fell to the ground, all things happened in less than a minute, so it would be easy to understand why Priesia burped.
“…You’ve got wonderful eyesight.”
From Nainiae to Ian… Abyss made eye contact with everyone. He seemed to be very satisfied, praised Ian and then glanced at the body parts around his neck.
“The female magician… Is it Nainiae? If you can identify my weakness and defeat me, I will praise you. But don’t you already know that you can’t?”
Nainiae made a flame spear, which appeared around Abyss’s neck, burning. It seemed it would penetrate his neck at any time.
“The winner has been determined.”
“…”
Abyss turned around his face and whispered to himself. At the same time, the magic of Nainiae, who fell to the ground and tried to squeeze out the magic, was exhausted, and the flame spear she made disappeared into the air.
“We… failed completely…”
