"Oh, what?　I...

　Violetta looked around in confusion.
　As expected, she was a brave woman.
　I'm sure she defeated Margo's magic on her own.

"d*mn, the spell's broken.

　Margo clicked her tongue.

"Ugh, I'm getting lightheaded!

　Violetta was wobbly on her feet.
　Violetta was wobbly on her feet. It seemed that she had not fully recovered.

"Master Violetta!

　The knights are shouting and rushing towards her.
　All of them were concerned about Violetta, but they had a strong hostility towards us.

　Well, I have the air of a villain, you know.
　You might think I'm one of the dark family members who oppose the righteous heroes and heroines.

You take care of Violetta.

　Margot ordered the Order.

She seems to be suffering from some damage, so take care of her.
"And you, Master Margot?
I'll take them down.
"Then we'll...
No, they're tough. I'll need all the help I can get. And if I do that... any of you who aren't up to the task will get caught in the crossfire.
"Dear Margot. ......
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can you leave me alone here?

　Margot says in a sincere tone.

　So you want to settle this without interference.
　That's what I want.



　The knights agreed to Margot's persuasion and descended to the foot of the hill, taking Violetta, who was still wobbly, with them.
　The only ones left were me, Shea, Yurin, and Margot.

　Some of the knights were looking up at us from the base of the hill.
　They're ready to watch the battle and come to Margot's aid if the need arises.

　Well, that's more convenient for me.
"For the rest of the story," he said.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
...... I have no idea what you're talking about.
The heroic knight has fallen.
Don't give me that accusation!　I'm always fighting for justice and peace!

　Margot shouted arrogantly.

"That's not true.

　The same party that did that to me two years ago is now talking about justice and peace...

"It's disgusting.
Aren't you the one who controls the power of Darkness and is in charge of the demon tribe?　If so, then Margo Lasqueda will smash you with the sword of justice with all her might.

　Margo tells me in a theatrical tone.

　You're drunk with yourself.

　He's really intoxicated with himself as a hero.
　That's just the kind of flimsy, shallow self-esteem this guy has.

"A desperate appeal when no one else is around?

　I sniffed.

"Gungnir the Chaotic Spear!

　Margot raised her sword and shouted.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It was the same [chaos] attack technique that Mayka used to control.

　In the past, even the black scales of [fixed damage] were scattered by a spear strike of super power....

　......!

　But when that blow touched the black scales spewing out of my body, it shattered into pieces.

"You idiot!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　The result was the same.
　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

What's wrong?　Is that the extent of your justice?

　I scoffed.

"Aren't you supposed to be a hero and avenge me, the demon family?
Oh, come on. ......

　Margot's expression stiffened.
　I'm sure he's very concerned about his reputation, judging by the way he's glancing at the knights.

　He wants to be revered and praised by others as a hero....
　In the extreme, that's the only reason why Margot does what she does.

"Then it's my turn.

　The black scales rising from my body increase in density.

"The most important thing for you is your reputation as a hero...

　"The black chain from my right hand.

　A black chain hangs from my right hand.

"I will destroy it here and now.

　Completely.
　And with that, I'll complete my revenge on you.



"Stick with .......

　Margot backed away as if overwhelmed.
　A moment later...



　A moment later... a black fog spread before my eyes.



"This is ......?

　A huge gate appeared a few hundred meters in front of me.
　The inside of the gate is filled with a black-purple light, and I'm swallowed up in its glow...



　The next thing I know, I'm standing in a wilderness that stretches to the horizon.

It's not ...... here.
"Yes, it seems you've entered once again, my host.

　There's a figure right beside me.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　A beautiful woman in a black dress reminiscent of a noblewoman...

In the world of darkness, the black phase (cli-photo).
