Chapter 266 Massacre Blood

That was close. I didnt expect that the stage of Made in Zex would be melted down without a trace the moment it started. I didnt put any barrier under the stage, so I was panicked a little. I should have been able to suppress the power considerably, but the aftermath of the impact and their bloodlust might have leaked out a little. Well, Ill just convince myself that its within the acceptable level. Lets not mind about it.

Deris-san, its shaking a lot! Is it really okay!?

Its okay, I just let my guard down a little.

Shish! I think a little carelessness can be fatal in this case!

I-Its shaking desuwa!?

E-Evacuate to the sky!

Danna, you are so cool. No, now is not the time for that! Everyone, calm down! Calm down and get under the table!

Hey, arent they all overreacting a little? If we were in Japan, wed probably be wary slightly and just say, Ooh, its shaking a lot. Dont worry, this is just an everyday occurrence. In other words, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

If you dont take it easy, you wont be able to keep up with their fight that will last for who knows how long. Oh, I hope it ends soon.

I cant see anything at all because the light is spreading inside the barrier! Its like the sun!

Looking for their presence also doesnt work. I feel like their presence is all over the place inside the barrier. Whats going on?

Well, you just simply cant keep up with their speed. Inside the barrier is too narrow for them to fight at full power after all. They are moving so fast, going here and there, so it seems as if they are all over the place.

W-What kind of speed is that?

What kind of speed, hmm? Lets see

She sure asked something thats hard to explain. They both have a similar type of strategy, and theres no other way to measure them.

As everyone knows, Nells tactic is to charge first. She likes to use her super-powerful flame to mow down her opponents along with their attacks before they could get her. Her status is, of course, based on attack power and speed at the expense of endurance. However, the problem of sacrificing her defense aspect has been completely solved by her own ingenuity, so shes almost invincible. I said that she would mow down the opponents along with their attacks, but in the first place, shes a demon who wont let them attack first. Yeah, a demon. Moreover, as you can see in this barrier, the range is also extremely vast. Its a simple and clear strength: super attack power x super speed = the strongest. In short, dont go against her.

On the other hand, Maria is. She is the third from the top in the ranks of the Great Eight Demons, but her pure destructive power and speed are the best. She has the power that if she were to arm-wrestle with Hund, she would win overwhelmingly even if she uses a little finger against both arms. Its completely an appearance fraud. The only salvation is that her defense is not that great, just like Nell. However, I dont know if its a vampire trait or not, but Maria has an absurd super-regeneration ability. Even if you blow away her head and heart, if theres even a single hair left, she will regenerate from there. And for some reason, the clothes she wears will regenerate too. Nell has tried it a long time ago, so theres no doubt about it.

Well, in conclusion, Nell and Maria are two of the strongest people in the world, competing for the fastest position, and the women whom you shouldnt make enemies of the most. Theres no way I can explain how fast they are. However, if I had to say

If you can catch up with that speed, you can obtain the world. I guarantee it.

Ehh. But, if you say it with such a serious face, I cant help but be convinced. Still, you surprisingly seem composed, Deris-san.

Thats not true, Chinatsu-chan. Shish at this time is just trying to distract himself with other things.

Hahaha.

Haru is watching me closely, huh. Well, her judgment is correct. Ive been using a thick layer of the highest level of Holy Magic, but my arms are shaking already.

Chinatsu, if possible, I would appreciate it if you could keep giving me Refresh magic. You bought the scroll the other day, right?

It seems that you are really in a pinch. I understand.

Still, if the inside of the barrier is shining like this, Haru cant see the battle between the two. The level of the battle is terrific because it is between the top classes, and the guests cant understand it.

Hey, you guys! We are doing this as an event, you know!? Fight while taking that into consideration! If they cant see it, theres no point in it!

Hm? Ah, thats right. Appearance is important.

Damn Vakala, he forgot his job as the emcee and just watched the battle.

Whoosh!

As if understanding my words, the flame walls covering the inner surface of the barrier disappeared immediately. Inside it is Nell, who bleeds from her cheek, and Maria, who has suffered a slight burn on her entire body.

Haa, haa. Ah, thats right~. I was enjoying it that I forgot about my debut. Ehehe~

Seeing that Maria is playing cute more than usual, it seems that the composure she had before the match has gone. While I was thinking about it, Marias body was completely back to normal and her gothic dress was as good as new. Shes a monster as usual.

As for Nell, she heals her cheek by lighting the fire on her finger and pushing it into the wound on her cheek. When she let go of her fingertip, theres no trace of the wound and shes completely healed. However, Nell is also breathing heavily, so I guess they are even for now.

Nell-san used that method when she received Touko-chans attack before, but is that also recovery magic?

Aah, when I rushed and attacked her face, huh. But immediately after that, she flicked my forehead and I fainted.

Howeh!? T-Touko, you are a daredevil, huh.

She said that she wanted to try to receive my Berserk, so I got carried away. Still, is that something to be worried about that much? Danna, you let out a strange voice, you know?

No, at least I respected her and was surprised enough to let out a strange voice. Still, what kind of situation was that? Does Nell have a masochistic side that she wanted to receive the attack with Berserk on it?

Nope. Absolutely not.

Whats wrong?

Nah, just talking to myself. We were talking about how Nells wounds heal with fire, right? Nells fire isnt healing magic. If I were to have the fire of her fingertip pressed on me, I would be burned and receive damage.

Hmm? What does that mean?

Nell has Fire Absorption, the high-rank Skill of Fire Resistance after Fire Nullification. Whether its her own fire or the enemys fire, she will be healed instead of receiving damage when the fire touched her. Nells fire is her greatest attack and her greatest recovery method, a weapon that combines offense and defense. The higher the power of the fire, the more it heals. Even if she has a fatal wound, she can heal it on her own.

She doesnt have any weakness at all.

Yeah, almost none. If its like the previous situation, where the barrier is filled with flames, it is the same as fighting while recovering at the same time. Its unreasonable that the enemy is burned but she is recovering. The only wound on Nells cheek, which she received the moment the fire was extinguished, was probably harassment from Maria to pay back for it.

How about crushing her with a lot of water? Like, fighting in the sea!

Right, Haru is good at swimming. But, its scary that shes likely to evaporate even the sea.

T-Thats right, Nell-shish is likely to do it.

Oh, it seems that the two are about to move to the second round.
