After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter 73 A fruitless stalemate shuhaige.net

"Raphael! You come back here!"

As the human woman spoke, she casually unleashed a shower of starlight and chased after Raphael, but was blocked by the lava surging from the ground... A demon god named Diablo stood in her way.

"Primal warlock, you shouldn't get involved."

Diablo said this as she entangled with the shimmering starlight controlled by the human woman, which resembled floating cannons. She said, "Ira Elkaras isn't anyone to you, so why are you protecting him?"

The human woman merely twitched her lips in response. She lightly stomped her foot, and a massive magic circle formed on the ground. Countless clods of earth transformed into sharp spikes, carrying enough power to pierce through an alien's body, and stabbed towards Diablo.

"You are the one who should be helping! What benefits did you receive from Raphael to make you more willing to help? I can give you double!"

Diablo had no time to answer the human woman's question. She retreated rapidly, trying to avoid the constantly pursuing ground spikes amidst the onslaught of starburst bombs... However, her right arm was still pierced through.

Hot blood immediately flowed down, dissolving the spikes.

He said he wanted to help save the world.

Diablo answered, watching her arm heal rapidly under the extraordinary regenerative power, sensing the light, darkness, and fire beginning to intertwine in the direction of the Demon King's territory, and asked the human woman, "Can you give me double, Primal Sorcerer?"

"..."

There's nothing we can do about it...

If the human woman had this thought, she wouldn't be standing here, after all, she was aware of the existence of those calamities... whether it was the seal guarded by the heavens and hell, or the evil god scrolls that the hunting party was resisting.

Everyone knows this, but only a small number of people will choose to help resist and protect.

"Shut up! Are you sick in the head?"

The human woman rebuked him, but she knew perfectly well that she couldn't get past his obstruction to stop Raphael on the other side... nor did she have any chance of dealing with him.

It's unlikely that one outsider can kill another outsider...

Because compared to the means of attack, the extraordinary recovery and vitality that one possesses as an outsider are a more significant and transcendent manifestation.

Then, restrain the other party!

"Primal Spell: Iris Blossom!"

The moment the words fell, the unstoppable Mana Array enveloped Diablo in its original form, and at that very moment... Diablo felt a lazy, warm sensation.

It felt as if I hadn't been born yet, or as if I were still a new bud on the World Tree that hadn't yet broken through the withered dragonwood... Warm and cozy, I didn't want to move at all, just like a flower bud that hadn't yet opened.

Then, in the next instant, the flower bud was completely burned away by the lava.

Diablo, upon reopening his eyes, immediately stopped the human woman who was about to go to Vereesa's aid, transforming into a ball of lava that shattered her mana.

"Are you mistaken? If you're not good at fighting, don't force yourself to break through! Just give up!"

As Diablo shouted this, a huge rift tore open in the beautiful night sky, revealing the true celestial phenomena behind it, while the normal daytime was immediately covered by the surging lava.

The human woman also got a thorough bath inside.

...

Yes, just like Diablo, the human woman is simply an outsider who became the "Final Answer to Mana" and the "Ultimate Magic (Formula) that leads to the same goal through different paths" created by her.

The human woman split her name in two, sacrificing it to gain access to the truth known as the Primal Formula. This dedication is truly admirable.

However, she is indeed not a skilled fighter... Perhaps she can easily overpower those outside the realm, but to those of the same level, she is like a skinny researcher in a white lab coat who has blended into a group of muscular women.

After the lava fell, the area was completely transformed into a lava lake... This huge flat area had been turned into a basin by the battle. It was fortunate that it was in an uninhabited area, otherwise the nearby orcs would probably all be dead.

This is the kind of massive destruction caused by crustal changes that can be seen on a world map... However, this does not prove their strength, since even Ira can deliberately create such a scene after repeatedly exploding her wings.

However, if such massive destruction is merely an aftershock, or even an aftershock that deliberately concentrates destructive power, then it would be terrifying.

Diablo flew through the air, watching Vereesa Ilúvata being entangled by her two sisters in the distance... In fact, the destruction of the terrain was entirely due to that side.

Under the influence of Vereesa's [Raven's Rainbow Eye], she can summon an enormous amount of mana at once. Naturally, she doesn't need to chant, making her a born turret.

The dense magic swept everything like a tidal wave... even his own sisters were slightly at a disadvantage.

"..."

"Gurgle~"

Bubbles began to rise from the lava, and the human woman's face emerged from it, looking helpless... Her body below the neck remained submerged in the lava.

The clothes might have burned away; if they were exposed, the broadcast wouldn't be possible.

"It's so hot...it's burning hot, you hit me really hard."

The human woman complained like this.

Diablo relaxed a little upon hearing this. Looking at the human woman who showed no will to fight, she said, "You can come out. Actually, Raphael didn't intend to kill Illa completely... He will probably offer his life in exchange for Illa's life after confirming her identity."
