Part 7

　Diablo chanted the second Multiplex Magic.

「O nihility that engulfs all of creation, come forth in my hand……《Black Hole Arrow》」

　Without any introductory remarks, he stealthily prepared a large magic, and would fire it. That wasn’t very Demon King-like.
　If he was going to fight, he felt that he should do it majestically from the front.
　That sort of fixation──He had now thrown it away.
　He didn’t mind if he was uncool.
　There were two Magimatic Sols.
　If he were to introduce himself and fight, Rem would probably be taken away while he was fighting one of them.
　He couldn’t show off, as if he were presenting a competition prize.
　This was the battlefield, and the enemy’s actions were only natural.
　To lose her with peace idiot, foolish decision──That sort of thing couldn’t be allowed!

「O arrow of nihility, pierce the linchpin that is at the boundary of heaven and earth! 《Gravity Abyss》!!」

　The projectile that emitted a black radiance flew towards the Magimatic Sol.
　The atmosphere trembled.
　It was the crystallization of three Maximum Magics.
『Wha……!?』
　The Magimatic Sols were fast, but not enough to evade this. Their frames were too big.
　The opponent received it with a gigantic shield.
　The magic was invoked.
　The sturdy large shield was dragged into the black hole.
　The shell that endured Diablo’s magic many times, was easily crushed.
『Uwah!? Uwah!? What!? What, is this!?』
　Everything in the surroundings were dragged into a hole the size of a baseball.
　Noticing the abnormality, Migurta also raised her voice.
『What’s going on, Rikka!?』
『I don’t know! My shield……it’s getting crushed……!?』
『Purge it!』
　──This other world, isn’t the inside of a game.
　If they get submerged in the 《Gravity Abyss》, they would unmistakably die. There would be no resetting.
　It turns into a game over, you breathe a sigh while cutting the power, you go to the toilet, you eat some food, go to sleep, and retry the next day──it wasn’t that sort of world.
　Guys that die will die.
　In that world, he……
「I……will use magic, against people. I will kill the enemy, and save Rem……!! 《Lightning Meteor》!!」
　Lightning dropped down.
　It kept the newly appeared purple Magimatic Sol in check.
『Kuh……It’s a Magician again!?』
　It jumped away.
　In that opening, Diablo ran over. He ran. To where she had collapsed.
「Rem!」
　He knelt down beside her.
　Her eyes wet with tears opened wide.
　──Diablo!?
　Her lips moved, but her voice didn’t come out.
　He wanted to use a potion, but it seemed that he wouldn’t have the time.
　The purple Violanos came charging in.
『There’s no way we can hand her over! No matter what!』
「I agree. No matter what happens, I will not hand her over. 《Prism Wall》!!」
　What extended out, was a rainbow-colored wall.
　The four classical elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and Light and Darkness──it was a magic barrier made using every attribute. It took a bit until it broke forth, but it made it in time.
　Once it broke forth, it wouldn’t vanish for ten seconds.
　Even if a Magimatic Sol punched it with all of its might, it should endure it.
『What the heck, is this!?』
　While the opponent was bewildered, Diablo held Rem in his arms.
「Let’s go.」
　She nodded.
　Seeing her horribly crushed legs, he felt terribly sorry for being late.
　──If only I, resolved myself much faster.
　He left that place in one go with Flight Magic.
　It was the timing where the effect of the 《Gravity Abyss》 had spread out the most.
　Rikka raised a scream.
『Migurta-san! Migurta-san, help me! Please help me!』
『Eh, no way……Rikka……you……!?』
　The left half of the White Biyatonos was swallowed into the hole.
　Half of the operator was probably crushed as well.
　It was a miniscule black hole. It was the gravitational bottom, and sucked up everything.
　No matter how sturdy the Magimatic Sol’s shell was, it didn’t matter. It was crumpled and crushed, broken into fine pieces, and fell into the hole.
『AH, aaaaaa……I don’t want this! I’m getting crushed! I’m getting crushed! Help me! Migurta-san, Migurta-san! Aira-san! Eleena! Everyone, help me!』
『Abandon the mech suit, Rikka!』
『It’s not opening! It won’t open, it won’t……aaaaah……Okaa-san, Onee-chan……help me……someone, help meeeee!!』
　Together with the scream, the white Magimatic Sol vanished into the miniscule hole.
　It was right at that moment that the effect of the 《Prism Wall》 cut off.
　Violanos unsteadily rushed over to the place where there was nothing left.
　It stood stock still.

　Mixed in with some noise, Aira’s voice could be heard.
『Return to base, Migurta……The capture of the royal castle has been achieved. The operation has ended.』
『……What are you saying? Rikka was……she’s gone.』
『We can’t get in contact with Eleena either.』
『No way……I mean, the two of them……they were so energetic, just this morning……』
『I know that.』
『I’ll kill him……that, Magician……』
『Ahh, however, do that after your mech suit has been repaired, Migurta.』
『Why!? Even the 《young vessel girl》, she was right before our eyes……!!』
『He isn’t an opponent that you can fight against without a weapon! Are you telling me to lose even you on top of all this!?』
『Ugh……』
『Come on back, Migurta.』
『*Hic*……Ugh……Ua……Those guys……AAAAAAAAAAA!』
