"Hi!, Excuse me!,"
Serafall, having obtained Takeyo's permission, cheerfully hopped into his home.
"Ahem..."
Takeyo habitually coughed out a mouthful of golden blood.
"Takeyo?! Are you okay?~"
Serafall's eyes flashed with panic.
"Yeah, it's really fine. It'll automatically recover in a month or two." Takeyo casually cleaned up the blood stains with practiced ease.
"This! Can this even be called 'fine'?~"
Serafall didn't know what to say. You don't take your body seriously at all!
"Takeyo... Actually, I brought a doctor from the Underworld this time. Sona said she'd have you checked out no matter what~ I think so too!~"
Serafall's twin tails swayed constantly, looking very uneasy.
Yes, Sona had asked her to check Takeyo's body. In exchange for this favor, she'd forgiven Serafall for taking away her chess pieces and stuffing them into Takeyo's body some time ago.
Otherwise, how could she come to see Takeyo so easily?
"A doctor from the Underworld?"
Takeyo raised his eyebrows. He'd said so many times that he was fine, but they still didn't believe it?
Should he say that they cared too much about him?
However, it seemed normal, right? After all, in their eyes, he probably looked like someone who liked to act tough despite being seriously injured.
"Well, if having them check me will make you all believe I'm okay..."
Takeyo sighed. Maybe he'd been acting too much like he was hurt? But this was just the normal manifestation of his injury...
Ten minutes later.
A man in a white coat looked at the data obtained by the machine and scratched his balding head in confusion.
"This... Serafall-sama, this patient... seems... seems to be healthy?"
In the end, the doctor came to this conclusion.
"Ahem..."
After he came to that conclusion, Takeyo coughed out another mouthful of golden blood.
"Eh?! How is that possible?~ He just vomited blood again!~"
Serafall kept tapping on the instrument. She felt there must be something wrong with the machine. How could someone vomiting blood constantly be called healthy?
"Indeed, there's no mistake. Even... his physical fitness is stronger than most Ultimate-Class Devils~"
Facing the Maou's questioning, the doctor only wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Thank you, doctor. So Serafall can give Sona an explanation now, right?"
Takeyo smiled. If their instruments could detect anything, there would be ghosts. Even Ajuka couldn't detect anything with his technology. What else did they expect to find?
"According to the doctor's statement, it seems you really are healthy, Takeyo,"
Serafall could only draw this conclusion.
She didn't really care much about Takeyo's condition, she just needed to avoid being blamed by Sona if the doctor's examination was somehow wrong.
"Actually... there's a more direct method,"
Takeyo said with a hooked smile.
He'd just acquired the Kurma Dragon Soul, and he wanted to test the combined power of the Kurma Dragon Soul and the Sacred Heart of the World Dragon!
"A more direct method?" Serafall tilted her head. What method?
"Isn't it enough to have a fight between us?"
The doctor's eyes widened in disbelief at Takeyo's casual suggestion.
"Us?... But I'm a Maou~"
Serafall's voice was lighthearted, obviously not taking Takeyo's words seriously.
"You're indeed a Maou, but even Maou aren't unbeatable, right?"
"No, no~ Isn't the Maou called a Maou precisely because they're almost invincible?" Serafall smiled, though perhaps it could be called a smirk.
"However, even if I'm a Maou, I have a need to be overcome... because..."
"Because of what?"
Serafall's twin tails swayed with interest.
"Because if I want to marry Sona, I have to pass your approval first, right?"
Takeyo said with a smile.
"What?"
Serafall's face went cold in an instant.
"Do you want to marry So-tan?... That does require my consent~ But I hope Takeyo is kidding,"
Serafall squinted her eyes, pink irises filled with the threatening aura of ice magic!
"This is something I have to do. Sorry, Serafall, but this is the only thing I can't back down on!"
Takeyo knew that only by bringing this up could he truly arouse Serafall's fighting spirit.
In fact, the moment she heard Takeyo wanted to marry Sona, Serafall's attitude had already changed completely.
Serafall's pocket dimension.
After the examination, the doctor returned to Sitri territory to report his findings while doubting his professional capabilities.
Here, only Takeyo and Serafall remained.
Takeyo looked at Serafall standing opposite him, holding her magic wand, and smiled slightly.
He could see that her body was covered with countless Maou-level magic circles!
She must have learned quite a bit of magic in an instant.
After all, Takeyo hadn't yet looked at the advanced crystal ball given to him by Ajuka.
He believed Serafall had never read his information either. If she'd learned from Ajuka that he'd almost killed Katerea, she wouldn't have dismissed him so easily in the first place.
"Serafall, I carry Sona's hopes, so it's necessary for me to defeat you~ After all, wouldn't Sona have no way to find the right man if she can't defeat you first?"
Takeyo stretched his muscles while gauging the intensity of this pocket dimension.
Although it wasn't as solid as Vishnu's space, nor as vast as Ajuka's, it was still one of the top-tier pocket dimensions.
"Huh!! Takeyo?! It's still not too late,~ Just say you don't want to marry So-tan,"
Serafall's body began brewing powerful ice magic!
She didn't have the magical characteristics of the previous True Leviathan Demon King's Falling Sea Serpent Dragon, but she'd still claimed the throne of Maou by virtue of her own strength! That spoke volumes about her power!
"No, I absolutely must marry her. I believe Sona would definitely be willing to elope with me,"
Takeyo showed a teasing smile. Sona is your weak point.
"So-tan! How could So-tan agree to elope with you!~"
Serafall waved her magic wand in dissatisfaction.
However, she felt some uncertainty in her heart.
So-tan... might actually run away with Takeyo!
"Hmph! If I win, you must promise me you'll never marry So-tan!,"
Serafall exposed her willful side.
Although the Four Maou were usually very kind people, that didn't mean they were all good-natured saints!
Serafall was willing to start a war directly for Sona's sake, just as Sirzechs would directly threaten Hades in the Netherworld for his relatives!
Serafall at this moment... was getting a little emotional.
Faced with Serafall's unreasonable request, Takeyo naturally put forward different conditions.
"You're making demands for your victory? Then I can make demands for mine, right?"
"My requirement if I win is to play role-playing games with me, Serafall, This game."
Takeyo smiled and took out a CD with game artwork printed on it featuring a magical girl.
The game's name was "Magical Girl X Tyrant Demon Lord - Please Demon Lord, Punish Me!~" Well, it was a name with quite the... cultural heritage.
"Role-playing game?"
Hearing something she liked, Serafall's expression eased considerably, though she hesitated for a moment.
"Hmph! If you win, I'll do anything! As long as you're willing to never marry So-tan after losing, that's fine,"
Serafall no longer cared that Takeyo was technically a seriously wounded person! The most important thing was preventing anyone from taking Sona away from her!
She knew it was nearly impossible to make Takeyo disappear from Sona's life, but... at least she could prevent him from taking Sona from her side!
"I won't agree to things I haven't accepted, Serafall..."
Takeyo shook his head as platinum and azure light covered his body!
[Sacred Heart of the World Dragon!]
Since he knew that using his normal incarnation couldn't defeat Serafall, at best achieving a draw, this wouldn't work at all.
"This is?... A Sacred Gear? An unknown Sacred Gear?"
Since Takeyo had never used his Sacred Gear in public, Serafall didn't know he had such an ability.
"Ah, That's right!"
Takeyo squinted as an aura that shook heaven and earth burst from his body!
A silver dragon phantom hovered above Takeyo, then entered his body!
The World Dragon! It had arrived!
[My... Liberation!]
[It is the origin of the world that bears the world... the dragon among dragons...]
[...!]
[Coming!]
[Kurma Incarnation Over Limit (Tyrannosaurus)!]
After obtaining the Kurma Dragon Soul, when Takeyo used the incarnation of World Dragon Kurma while activating the Sacred Gear Sacred Heart of the World Dragon, it would only consume his physical stamina!
"I didn't expect Takeyo to hide so deeply, But! Magical Girl Milky-chan won't lose!~"
[Ice Hell!]
Her magic wand shone with cold light!
This was magic that could easily destroy an entire city! And this kind of magic basically required no charging time for her!
"Do you really think you have the possibility of activating magic?"
Takeyo smiled slightly.
[Stop, Magic Eyes of the World!]
The magic being activated stopped!
He didn't stop Serafall's entire person, but rather stopped the small time-space where Serafall was activating her magic circle!
This consumed less energy, and the possibility of the opponent breaking free was much smaller.
At the same time!
The chaotic waves of magical power began releasing from Takeyo's armor, wandering throughout the entire space!
"Tch! Don't think I can't break free,"
Although Serafall said this, she wasn't foolish enough to use all her strength to break the time-stop.
Instead, she generated multiple magic formations simultaneously!
The entire sky became covered with a terrifying amount of magic circles!
"Haaaaa!,~"
With Serafall's voice, the magic activated!
Magic activation?
The situation Serafall imagined didn't happen, all the magic circles got stuck before they could activate!
"This is..."
Serafall didn't understand why.
It was normal that magic couldn't activate after being time-stopped, but why couldn't her other magic formations activate either?!
Takeyo didn't use the same method as before to directly dispel the magic, because she was a master at Maou level. Not only was her magic powerful and stable, but her activation speed was also extremely fast.
Using his previous method of dispelling Kuroka's magic circles would mean the magic would activate before he could dispel them.
So now, Takeyo used a different method to cause magical lag!
"Because I've set the realm around us into a forbidden magic field..."
Takeyo smiled, not minding explaining his principle of magic prohibition. Although there was no guarantee Serafall would be caught by it again, he had the confidence to definitely defeat Serafall regardless!
"I radiated magical power fluctuations throughout the entire space. These pseudo-random magical power fluctuations automatically find magic circles and destroy and block the flow at key positions in the formation."
"In this way, aside from magic used directly on oneself, all other magic becomes invalid!"
What he wanted was close combat... Let's see how you handle this.
