The scene reflected through the eyes of the Kuro Demon King can be felt even by the sleeping "me" inside. In the event that you are not able to participate in the battle, the Kuro Demon King has a way to check the status of the battle, the countless crystals that Seiya Yukura set up in the throne room.
　The mechanism is probably an application of the messenger that Tedral, the colorless Demon Lord, usually used to spy on us.
　The crystals are reflecting the state of each demon world and demon tribe, and the Kuro Demon King is quietly watching them.

"Hello, can you hear me?
"...... won't you get mad at me for that?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the most out of your investment.

Her body is your poor body. She won't even be able to notice if you do this.
"I'm pretty sure she wouldn't even notice if you did the same thing to her. So, you wanted someone to b*tc* to?
"b*tc* ......, I guess you could say that. I'm sure that no matter what I say to Kuro, his words will never reach him. Thehedral is also on the road, so I've got a lot of free time on my hands.
How's the space-time magic coming along?
I don't have time to build all the time. You have to wait for the magic to be refined into something special, or for the magic to be stored in the magic circle, or whatever.

　It's more scientific than I thought, or perhaps it's because Seiya Yukura is from Earth that he approaches things in such a way.

It's amazing. You can see the battle of the demons even if I am only an ordinary person.
I've been doing some work on the throne where Kuro sits. The throne on which the Kuro sits has been slightly modified to allow the owner's brain to take in information from the senses. Even if there is an object moving at a speed that your eyes cannot catch, the fact that it moves in front of your eyes does not change. The fact that the object moved in front of your eyes does not change.
"I see. I don't understand.

　I see, I don't understand." What you cannot see with your ability, you recognize again as something you can see. Understanding the thoughts of those who are beyond reason, or how they work, may shorten the life of your brain. It is best to just listen to them.

I'm not going to do a classroom lecture either. "I'm not going to give you a lecture either. If you want, I can give you the theory directly into your brain.
"No thanks. So you're asking me what I think of the demons?
Well, yeah. She was given the power of the Almighty, the last thing she had left. It's pretty pathetic, don't you think?
Without omnipotence, whatever's left of it is miserable. But it's true that it's painful to watch.

　My mind turns to Zahava, who is fighting Ilias and his men in the Garnet Realm. Her transformation from human form to spider is very painful, considering the process.

"You understand the meaning of awakening, don't you?
"Yes. For demons, awakening means becoming fear itself.

　The easiest way to get more information was to look at Zahava, who was dripping with emotion. She flaunts her spider form as her power, but she doesn't like it.

That's right. For those who pay the price of the name, the demons are given a test to overcome their fear. Well, the definition of fear is too weak and there are other necessary conditions.

　The object of fear in the person's deep consciousness. Overcoming it is given as a test. That's what the art of becoming a demon is all about.
　And for those who overcome their fears and meet the other requirements, a future awaits in which they become the object of their fears themselves.
　Once you become fear itself, you are an evolved human being with nothing to fear. That's a terrible argument.

"Of course you're right. If Zahava was afraid of spiders, it was when she was a village girl. If a spider were to appear in front of her now, she would have no fear whatsoever.
"It wasn't a bad factor, though. In the first place, it is a technique that can only be done by using the Demon Lord's magic power. It's still an imperfect existence, though.
"The result is monsters who transform into their past traumas. If I hate green peppers the most, will I become a green pepper monster?
It's not a factor of likes and dislikes. It would be different if you got food poisoning from eating green peppers.

　I'd hate to see that happen. It is a reasonable process of human evolution, but there are only three people who have finally turned into their own horrors with their ego. I should think that the other conditions were too severe.

"That snake monster is the end result of a snake hater who overcame his fears, but whose mind could not withstand the passage of time.
"His name was Idrak. "His name is Idrach. He's a man who's been earnestly loyal to the Kuro since before he was born. Now his mind is dead and only his demon body is moving according to his instincts.

　In order to reach the state of awakening, the demon race itself must grow. Over the years, the body must be continuously remodeled to prepare the ground for awakening.
　However, even if the body can endure this process, the mind cannot. The human mind does not mesh well with the demon body and wears out over the years. The more time passes and the more the body is transformed, the more the friction increases.
　It reminds me of what happened to Nektohar. A pathetic follower who wished to stand next to Azure, and became obsessed with it and broke down.
　Even with a king nearby to support them, the hundreds of years were eating away at the hearts of the demons without mercy. Then, the devastation of the Serende demon world, where the Kuro Demon King was absent, must have been even worse than that.
　This passage of time is the true test that the demons must overcome.



Ironic, isn't it? It's ironic, isn't it, that one has to be twisted as a person to endure the awakening state?

　If you have a human heart, the friction with the demon body will kill you. But if you are a warped human being, the friction between you and the demon body will be less.
　Nirrathes and Zahava, who continued to show abnormal attachment to their king, were able to live unchanged for these long years because of their pathological dependence.
　There may have been others with equal or greater loyalty, but they were too human. Too much genuine emotion was chipped away by the passage of time.

It's a fitting end for a demon lord who hates people. Now, how do you see this battle being won or lost?
You don't have to ask me that.
I don't want Kuro to notice and be offended. You don't want to be noticed and made uncomfortable.
So there's some risk of being noticed. But you know, if the Kuro Mad King was really reading, you'd probably poke him in the side, right?
I've had my fair share of beatings. It's polite to poke an attractive side with your finger.
No wonder you got punched.

　I tried to think of a few things in my mind that would make Seiya Yukura react, but there was no response. It seems to be true that he is communicating with the black demon lord only minimally, so that the black demon lord will not notice his interference with us.
　It seems that it will be some time before Seiya Yukura can read our current thoughts, which has been our concern since we entered this state. I guess the first bet is cleared.

That's right. The demons are indeed monsters, but because they are monsters, they have many distortions. They won't be easy to defeat without me.
You seem to think you can beat them.
"They've maintained their warped minds for hundreds of years. If they were that stubborn, they'd be easier to read.

　I'm not an expert on the strength of their abilities, but the Iliad and the others have somehow been able to hold their own. The only question now is how to understand and deal with the demons.
　The seeds for this have already been planted. I believe they can win.

You're so confident. But inside you're scared, aren't you? You're not strong enough to smile fearlessly when a familiar face is about to die.
"Well... I already want to cry. I'm already crying. I've got all these plans in my head to kill the demons, and I'm angry that I can't do anything about it.

　I've dragged the whole world into this, even though I couldn't think of anything else to do. It was heartbreaking to see Lord Léanor and Archbishop Ucka attacked. Even as we speak, Ilias and Maja are fighting against monsters that defy reason.
　Many people will die. Some of them might be the people I wanted to protect. Just thinking about it scares the hell out of me.

It's not that I believe in victory for my side, but I have no choice but to believe. I envy you, being human.
Yeah. You have a lot of things that I don't, but I have a lot of things that you've thrown away.

　So let's keep going. Keep believing that these women will pave the way for us to get there. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

　"What?

I'm not sure what to say. The snake was also originally a demon!

　I left the snake and went back to Aoi and told her what I understood. I'm not sure if you're aware of the possibility. He must have realized that there was a possibility.

No doubt. From the snake's magic, I was able to read his memories from when he was a demon. Just very old memories. It must have been a long time ago when he lost his mind.
I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... If this is the end of the demon race, then the core is definitely there, isn't it?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In the case of individuals with the ability to regenerate, it is difficult to determine whether they regenerate around the core or whether they retain such peculiarities in the first place. However, it is certain that the demon race has a core, and that regenerative ability is unique to the demon race.

We know that the snake's head is near the body where it separates. But if the demon's defensive instincts are still intact, it will be extremely difficult to accurately destroy the core buried inside that huge body.

　The Nektohar that Wolfe and his team fought in Serende. He was a deformed monster who had abandoned his human body, but his core was no different from that of a normal demon. The snake's core was also small, and it would be impossible to aim at the small core from a distance with that huge body.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
It's theoretically possible to hit the core with a single strike that has the range and power to reach it, but with the forces on the ...... side of the Mejis, it's going to be tough.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a detailed location, but I'm not going to be able to unleash a strike of undiminished power through that thick wall of flesh. If you just want to reach the core, you can do it by submerging the chain in the sea of flesh, but that will cause the core to move. We need a technique that can break through the flesh more vigorously.

"You know the word 'drill', Exduk?
"Oh, yeah, I remember. There it is.

　There was a time when I was hiding in a cave deep in the mountains of Tarz after fighting my people as an assassin for Raheit. I remembered that I had been asked to help my compatriot with his money by investigating the ore in the depths of an unexplored cave.
　I realized that in order to continue digging in the hard earth, what I needed was a way to scrape the rocks out of the way of my digging. When I showed my compatriot the technique I had developed at that time, he said, "It's like a drill.
　I asked my compatriot about the drill and how it worked. The tip is sharp, with a spiral that ejects the chips backwards. It doesn't break you down with a single blow, but rather thrusts you down.


　I had tried to use it in actual combat, but the many gaps caused by deploying the chain and maintaining its structure had kept me from using it. However, if the opponent was this huge and did not evade, it would be useful enough.

"What, what, what's the solution?
Yes. But I'll need your help to do it. Ao, get on my back.
......?

　Put Aoi on my back and secure her to my body with the chain. Then, secure the necessary length of the chain and put both ends of the chain in Aoi's hands.

I'm not sure what to do. Why is it so tight?
"I need to use both hands to maintain the structure of the chain. "I have to use both hands to maintain the chain structure, and then it will shake even more. It's a little tight, but bear with me.
I look like crap!
That's something I'd like to see.
I'd like to see that." "You shut your mouth, king!

　I've prepared a separate chain, which I'm going to drill into one of the snake's heads, and then I'm going to pull myself together and fly right over the core of the body.

Ao, you keep pouring your magic power into that chain. I prefer to let it overflow a little at a time.
"You want me to use my magic to forcibly remove that flesh? It's not impossible, but the durability of the chain won't hold up.
No, the chain you're holding is a blood vessel that delivers magic power. The chains that will gouge his flesh will be created with this eye: ......!

　Concentrate the magic power into the eye and activate the true "Blind Eye". There is no problem with the strength of this chain. However, the chain's function as a chain will be deflected, and its purpose as a drill will be diminished.
　A drill that only weaves in chains is not strong enough. Then imagine an individual constructed with chains to gain strength as a form. At the ends of his outstretched arms, he would create a chain spear the size of a hammer.

A huge spear? And the tip is spinning?
"Yes. This is an unyielding spiral that will pierce even the strongest walls! "The Chain Piercing Spear!

　It descends and thrusts the Chain Piercing Spear into the snake's flesh. The tip of the Chain Piercing Spear gouges the flesh, and the spiral rolls it up and carries it backwards.
　Inside the Chain Piercing Spear created by the True Blind Eye, there is a chain that leaks out the magic of blue. As the chain piercing spear rotates, the blue magic power rushes out from the spiral groove and draws a trail.
　This would make it possible to dig efficiently while depriving the shaved pieces of flesh of their ability to regenerate.
　The spiral grabs the flesh and speeds up like a swimmer. The spiral grabs the flesh and speeds up like a swimmer, digging the distance to the core of the body in one go.

"I can do it! I can do it! Here!
"Not yet! At this speed, even if I can get close to the core, the core is moving faster!

　Although it was digging faster than the regeneration rate of its body, there was no way that the snake would not react to this unusual attack. Many screams echoed from the snake's head, and he could feel the flesh around him stirring.
　It may have lost its sense of reason, but its defensive instincts against being targeted in its core are still intact. It's trying to force us out.

What are we going to do then?
When the Core evades this attack, that's when we'll be closest to it! We must seize that moment!

　The body doesn't move randomly. It's making its best move to protect the core from us. Then read it, understand it. Read the core's movements as a hunter would use his animal instincts to hunt it down!

"Ah! That's it!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
　You will be able to use it in a variety of ways. There was a black, stagnant, jewel-like core in his hand. The core, which had been directly exposed to the magical power of Blue, cracked and shattered fragilely in his hand.
　Even though I was inside the flesh, the scream of the snake reached my ears as if it were breaking my eardrums. Ao and I both intuitively knew what it meant.

"You did it! We've destroyed the core! ...... Hey, Exduk? Hey, why aren't you talking?
...... No, I hadn't thought of a way to get out of here.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Can't you get that spear out again?
If there's a foreign object in the space, the true 'blind eye' can't be used properly. It's difficult in this size.
Can't you protect it with warding magic or something?
My warding magic doesn't go that far. My warding magic is not that good. I was once crushed to death by a chain that I had enlarged myself.

　A space-fixing warding spell of the Yugra cult like the one Lakra uses would be able to withstand the pressure of this snake's flesh. I'm not sure what to make of it.
　At any rate, release Ao from the chains and try to gouge out the surrounding flesh with the chains. It seems to have lost its regenerative ability, but its mass is still intact. The snake itself will fall to the ground before its body returns to dust. The impact will be more than enough to crush our bodies.

"What are you going to do? What are we going to do? I don't want the two of us to be crushed to death together here!
That's true. I've always wanted to be friends with Ao, but I want to choose the right place.
You're right, ...... is not the time! It's not a good time to go to ....... Uh, uh, ......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. The walls of flesh around you are torn apart and light from the outside leaks in. Peeking through the gaps in the flesh walls was a wall of white bones.



"Lo-o-o-o-o-o!
"Dal'agestia! That's right! This is the girl you had!

　Dal'Agestia, swallowed by the snake's body, had waded into the sea of flesh that had lost its ability to regenerate, and had eaten its way out of the space we were in.

"Lo-o-o-......
Oh, I'm sorry. It's not that I forgot about you. I just got a little flustered. ......

　As the flesh crumbled, he could see his surroundings more clearly. The body of the giant snake that had fallen to the ground was slowly crumbling away and returning to the dust. It seems that I was able to defeat it successfully.

"Ecdysium! Are you alright?
Marith, we managed to defeat the snake monster.
Well, that's good. I'm glad to hear that. But I'm afraid you'll have to go to Maja and Duvraeori's place right away. It's a good thing you're relieved.
"Okay, I'll be right there!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and how you can use it.

"Dal'Agestia, you need to dive and rest for a while! You've done well!
"Lo-o-o-o. ......
Let's go, blue. Here comes the fun part.
Yeah, but you're going to be covered in flesh and blood before the show. ...... I'm not sure what to expect. ......
