Chapter 9: It’s All Coming Back to Him (Part 2)
The moment Michel approached Maramaks’ gate, his consciousness was blown somewhere else. And it wasn’t something as simple as: “the scenery changed”, either.
Before his eyes, there was now a beautiful blonde woman holding a long sword.
[She kinda resembles Lady Elina somehow.]
(What... did I get into?)
He barked to intimidate the other while parrying the sword with his claws.
Reflected in the Beautiful Fighter’s eyes was an attractive female devil... which then Michel realized was how he looked.
(That is me...)
“Your Majesty, the preparations are complete!”
“Don’t mind me, just do it!”
A row of warrior priestesses and angels were arranged surrounding the devil and the Queen, drawing a magic circle both in the ground and in the air.
The incantation of the devil’s seal, handed down between generations to the warrior priestesses, surrounded both fighter and creature like a cage.
The Queen was ready to be sealed along with the devil. However, that didn’t mean the latter was just going to take it lying down.
The devil’s bulging magical power became a windstorm blowing around her, which went on to attack the warrior priestesses.
“Not good, at this rate...!”
Understanding the Queen’s wishes, the angels rushed into the seal to aid in the battle.
In the storm of raging magic, the holy swords—which had received the angels’ protection—danced in the air on their own, chopping up parts of the demon’s body. Seeing the angels’ specialty in action, his body shrunk.
“Guaaaaaah.”
Every time his body was carved and thrown out of the magic square, the demon’s magical power was reduced.
“If you do this...!”
Michel’s sight changed again. This time around, the perspective felt like it came from one of the bits cut off of the main body.
“Now! Seal the demon!”
Following the decline in the demon’s power, the warrior priestesses and the angels resumed their sealing.
The magic circle developed into the shape of a semicircular dome in midair, as it became smaller.
“To Maramaks!”
“To Maramaks!”
After the yell of the leader angel, other angel’s voices joined.
The moment the light disappeared, a stone gate appeared at the place the magic circle had been. It was the “Gate to Maramaks” that linked both worlds.
“Did we make it?”
“Now... we can only leave it to the Queen.”
The angel stared at the gate while answering the warrior priestesses’ question.
“We pray for your safe return...”
The leader angel muttered, feeling a bit of self-derision.
“Head Angel~, what do we do with the demon fragments~?”
Originally, the demon had possessed no physical appearance in this world. The fact that it had the figure of a beautiful woman now only was due to the wife of the warring king, who was used as a sacrifice to bring it forth.
Away from the body, there was no telling what form the demon’s fragments could take.
“The fragments harbor a glimpse of the demon’s powers. Leaving them as is would be dangerous.”
The angels gathered each one of them, and awaited instructions from their leader.
[This is precisely what they don’t notice is the biggest problem in Heaven.]
The Head Angel sighed.
Because angels bear a strong power, they never exercise it by their own will. They have the tendency to wait for instructions from the upper echelons.
She was convinced that had they acted sooner, the situation would have never reached that point. However, that was akin to asking for the moon.
“Allowing a demon to be summoned was Heaven’s fault, that’s why we intervened; however, we can permit mortals to handle the fragments.”
“Can they defeat the fragments, though?”
“If you think they need help, feel free to provide it, at your own risk.”
[Mortals are stronger than we think.]
*Bang*, the stone gate opening made a heavy noise, and the Queen showed up with wounds all over her body.
