Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

“Danna-sama’s power will revive you as long as you don’t give up on life. Is your loyalty to that person only to this extent?”

“I-I apologize.”

Sitri sensed that Orga was about to be annihilated, so she teleported to the dungeon.contemporary romance

“Big sis…Are you a monster too?”

“No. You’re mistaken.”

Sitri teleported Orga by force to a different floor, then she faced Akari once again.

“I am Sitri. I’m the Demon King.”

“Eh!?”

Akari couldn’t hide how shaken she was to hear that the woman who gave her bread was no other than the demon king.

“Well, I did say Demon King, but my power has already been obliterated by that person, so…”

“Then, you’re not the Demon King now?”

“Indeed. Just as you saw when we met at the magical academy, I’ve been living as a normal person.”

“You didn’t do anything bad?”

“...I’m a demon, so I ate people’s souls in the past.

Sitri had never killed a person directly before. That’s because there was no meaning for a demon to kill a human themselves.

However, there were many instances when the people who obtained power by forming contracts with her, killed other people.

“Then… You’re the enemy of people, is that it?”

“That’s right. Will you defeat me?”

“J-Just once —”

“Yes?”

“I’ll let you off just this once. Consider it as thanks for the bread.”

Akari’s hero consciousness was telling her that Sitri was an enemy she had to defeat.

“Huh…Fu, fufufu. Did you not listen to what I just said? I’m a demon, and a former Demon King, to boot. And yet you’re going to let me off?”

“Yes, just this time. I will have to slay you the next time we meet.”

Akari stared straight into Sitri’s eyes while saying that. Her resolve was infused in each word she uttered.

“Seems like you’re serious about it. However, it’s a different story as to whether you can defeat me or not.”

Sitri conjured a colossal amount of mana and wrapped it around her.

“...So you won’t flee, huh.”

Akari also decided to fight against Sitri.

“Yes. I won’t escape. I can’t escape. That’s because I’m the last boss of this dungeon.”

Sitri realized that Akari was more powerful than Orga. However, the thought of her losing to the girl didn’t even cross her mind.

She was the Demon King, and she had become more powerful thanks to her husband. Thus, there was no way she would think that she would be inferior to some ordinary human.

“So Big Sis is the last boss. Then, I have no choice but to defeat you. I want to clear this dungeon.”

“That’s a great goal. The power that enabled you to roam in this dungeon and defeat Orga — allow me to see that for myself. Please consider me as the former Demon King, and give it your all.”

“...I understand.”

Akari’s expression changed.

“I’m definitely going to subjugate the Demon King.”

Her weapon changed, adapting to her will.

It transformed a God’s Grade weapon from its Legendary Grade.

Akari’s mana poured into the black sword she was gripping, and the weapon started to glow.

The mana that the girl had been repressing subconsciously were gradually being released.

“Eh… T-This is —”

Sitri had been chill before, but she started to lose her composure as she watched Akari’s mana steadily balloon.

Akari didn’t even release 10% of her power when she fought against Orga.

However, the Demon King that she was supposed to slay was standing right in front of her now.

She could sense that the power within Sitri was stronger than any other monster she encountered in this world.

Originally, Akari didn’t want to hurt Sitri because she was the person who gave her bread.

However, the woman told her that she didn’t have to let her go, and that she could fight with all she had.

That meant Sitri was confident.

That was what Akari thought.

She wouldn’t be unwilling.

She would give her all right off the bat.

She didn’t want to slay Sitri, the person who had been treating her sincerely, but she was more focused on the aftermath if she were to succeed in defeating Sitri.

If she killed her, then she would be able to take all the time in the world to look for a way to meet her brother.

She wanted to be done with this as soon as possible.

Once Akari’s resolve was fixed, her skills were automatically activated in order to defeat the Demon King.

Akari realized that her skills were automatically activated through her <Hypersense>.

She also realized that everything would be fine if she were to entrust herself to those skills.

In that case, the guilt she felt from dealing with someone she knew disappeared.

The outcome of the battle had already been set in stone the moment Akari decided to defeat Sitri.

Her <Divine Vision> stopped the time.

Even the Demon King was helpless against it — she couldn’t move.

The time that could be stopped was only a few seconds, but for Akari who possessed <Divine Vision>, those seconds were abnormally long.

She closed the distance to Sitir in just a blink of an eye, and she posed, ready to draw her sword. A scabbard had appeared by her waist without her realizing it, and the black sword she had been gripping was already inside it.

“Bye-bye, Big Sis.”

The black sword was infused with Akari’s mana, and it had evolved into a Genesis Grade weapon.

Akari had become the world’s most powerful swordsman because of the effect of her skills as well as her mastering Orga’s swordsmanship. She wielded the Black Sword, which had turned into the most powerful weapon of this world.

She drew her sword from the scabbard faster than the speed of sound, and it was about to strike the defenseless Sitri by the neck —

It didn’t hit the woman.

“Eh!?”

Akari’s eyes were wide open in shock.

However, it wasn’t because the black sword broke in half right at its center.

“How dangerous. So glad I made it on time.”

She had felt a surge of longing for the man who suddenly appeared before her, saved Sitri and broke the black sword’s blade in half.
