The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Exposure was inevitable, but if possible, Kazuma and the others hoped to avoid it forever, or to reveal it in a better way.

Just as everyone was at a loss for words.

"That's great! You finally said it, Wiz! You're right, deciding to get married all of a sudden is too fast! Also, Dyke, you don't need to be too sad. Although you've been dumped on the surface, you still have a chance. Anyway, let's start as friends first."

"… … Ah?"

Hearing Aqua cheering so excitedly, Dyke let out a hoarse cry, perhaps because he had relaxed, the magic circle surrounding the cemetery lost its power and then disappeared.

Except for Aqua, everyone else looked at the excited Aqua and the shy Wiz with complicated expressions, while Dyke's face was full of doubt and incomprehension, as if he was in a state of extreme confusion.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"

"You've been talking about marriage, making friends, and saying not to worry since just now. What are you talking about? I really don't know what you mean."

"Don't you understand yet? Wiz is saying that she can't quit her job and marry you right away, but you can start by being friends."

Aqua's gaze as if looking at an idiot irritated Dyke.

"— Are you guys idiots? Why would I marry a monster like a lich! And we have to be friends first? What the hell is this joke!"

"Eh? Eh? Eh — — — —"

These words greatly shocked Wiz, who cried out in surprise.

Before anyone could stop her, Aqua shouted angrily, "You're such a bad man. You're just lashing out at Wiz because she rejected you! Are you still denying it now? And you're the one who asked her to quit her current magic item shop job and settle down!"

"… … Ah?"

Dyke thought seriously for a long time, and finally covered his face with his hands and said in a muffled voice, "The job I wanted that woman to quit was the job as an executive in the Demon King's army…"

"What?"

"I said, I was referring to the job as an executive in the Demon King's army, not the magic item shop."

Looking exhausted, Dyke took off his cloak and clothes.

"That, that's the Demon King's…!"

Wiz pointed at his chest and shouted.

There was a badge with a special pattern tattooed on his chest. Kazuma, who often harassed the Demon King's army, knew very well that it was the Demon King's badge.

However, what everyone noticed was actually — —

"So you're a Fallen Angel!"

Aqua pointed at Dyke. His back was covered with pitch-black wings, almost the same as the fallen wings of an angel in their impressions. They just didn't know if he had anything to do with Lucifer.

"I thought you were an ally who hated undead and demons, but I didn't expect that this was the reason. You're really shameless, using this divine power even though you've fallen."

"Mind your own business! This is just the interest from being used as a errand boy back then!"

Dyke shouted in exasperation.

"By the way, who the hell are you?"

"You don't even know me! I'm a famous goddess in the entire kingdom! That's right, I'm the Goddess of Water, Aqua!"

"— So you're a woman with a mental illness!"

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Aqua was about to cry from anger.

This genuine goddess was not believed by ordinary people and her own followers, and now even the errand boy of the gods — an angel — didn't believe her.

She was in a pretty miserable state.

"Heh heh heh, I understand." Dyke said as if he had seen everything clearly, "No wonder so many unexpected people appeared here, and Beldia-sama, Hans-sama, Sylvia-sama, and Wolbach-sama, they have disappeared, so it turns out that there is a traitor in the Demon King's army!"

He glared fiercely at Wiz.

"No, it's not, I'm not a traitor to the Demon King's army, I, I…"

"What's wrong? Don't dare to deny it? That's right, you also know that I can see the evil aura emanating from liars, so you don't dare to speak, right?"

Dyke showed a mocking smile.

In fact, Wiz could righteously say that she had not betrayed the Demon King's army, but the names Dyke had just mentioned — the executives of the Demon King's army — were all being kept by Kazuma in the magic item shop, and if they were discovered, there would be no way to defend herself.

"Fortunately, I was prepared. I have already sent a reply to His Majesty the Demon King to report this matter. Presumably, this town will soon become the most important strategic stronghold for the Demon King's army."

Dyke showed a arrogant smile.

No wonder this guy had been investigating something since he came to Axel. He must have discovered something wrong with Wiz, which led him to the conclusion that she was a traitor.

Then, just as he was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, he suddenly flew out a long way. Dyke, who had been knocked away, was embedded in a tombstone.

He stood up unsteadily and looked straight ahead. There was Wiz, slightly lowering her head, with her palm outstretched as if using chantless magic.

"This town is about to become the most important strategic stronghold?… This place will be attacked?"

The lich girl's tone was so cold that it couldn't be colder.

Coupled with the visible frost around her, everyone felt a chilling wind blowing on their weak bodies.

Speaking of which, if she remembered correctly, this should be the first time they had seen Wiz lose her temper.

When dealing with the poisonous slime Hans, Kazuma had originally planned to let Wiz take action, but Aqua messed things up and the lich girl, who was originally strong against slimes, was the first to throw the match and lie down.

It seemed that this time they would be able to see just how powerful Wiz really was when she lost her temper.

Dyke wiped the corner of his mouth.

"You, you're finally willing to get serious? Speaking of which, as expected of a lich, you can release such powerful magic without chanting. It seems that for so many years…"

With a bang.

Before he could finish speaking, he was once again slammed into the tombstone by a magic bullet.

As everyone knows.

The anger of a good person is the most terrifying.

In the workplace, many experienced seniors have said that it's okay to bully a good person, but don't bully them to death, because once they get angry, they will do very extreme things.

Like now.

Just as Dyke was about to activate the scorching flames of karma magic, Wiz, surrounded by cold air, imprisoned him in an ice cage before he could.

Not completely frozen, only his upper body was wrapped in ice, unable to breathe or speak, Dyke, with a pale face, kept hitting the ground with his ice-encased body.

"Do you want to surrender?"

Wiz asked.

Her voice was so quiet that one couldn't help but wonder if Dyke, who was trapped in the ice, could hear her at all. Dyke remained silent, only silently hitting the ground.

Seeing that victory was certain, Aqua excitedly ran over to celebrate with Wiz, and Kazuma also showed a relieved smile, feeling that this incident would come to an end.

However — —

"You were careless, Wiz!"

Just as they were celebrating, Dyke broke out of the ice and temporarily drew a magic circle and stood on it. He also held a black dagger against his chest, making people wonder why he could still laugh at this point.

"Hahaha! Look! Look at this powerful magic power that is emerging… Ah, ah, the place where the black dagger pierced is slowly surging with power… I can feel every cell in my body losing life one by one, and at the same time turning into an immortal body!"

"It's a lich's ritual magic!"

Wiz covered her mouth and screamed softly.

She knew this ritual very well, after all, she had transformed into a lich using this ritual back then.

Dyke did this because he had no choice, trying to become a lich himself, stand on the same starting line as Wiz, and then turn the tables.

The idea was good, but…

"Holy Purge!"

"Eee ya — — — — — —"

The moment Dyke degenerated into a lich, Aqua, who had no intention of being understanding, used purification magic.

She knew it would turn out like this.

"What's going on, what's going on!? I should have become the strongest undead lich, what exactly is…!"

Dyke, who was screaming loudly, became blurred. Wiz walked slowly to his side with a sympathetic expression, bent down and placed her hand on his chest, pretending to use magic.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of getting involved with me that you became like this. At least I should let you pass away in a way that you don't feel pain…"

"S-Stop! Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"

Realizing that he was about to disappear, Dyke seemed to want to grab the last hope. He looked at Wiz with pleading eyes and made the most affectionate confession.

"N-It's not like that! This is a misunderstanding! The reason why I wanted to become a lich… That's right, it's not to seek revenge on you, but to become an immortal existence together, to walk on the same path as you as a lich!"

Such a clumsy excuse, even an idiot wouldn't believe it, even Aqua. Rather, in her eyes, no matter what the reason, becoming a lich was already out of the question.

But Wiz said, "D-Don't try to trick me, no matter how many sweet words you say, I won't be fooled!"

Dyke was slightly stunned.

But he quickly reacted and said softly:

"How would I trick you! After fighting with you, I finally discovered true love. No, don't worry, I won't suddenly say I want to get married, so… just like you said, let's start by being friends!"

"Start by being friends…"

Wiz hesitated.

Crap, it seems that for a spinster lich with no romantic experience, this visual-kei fallen angel is her nemesis.

Kazuma also felt a little棘手 and tugged at Kazuma's sleeve, signaling him to quickly think of a way.

Kazuma didn't intend to keep this scourge around.

Moreover, this guy Dyke didn't realize his mistake, but knew that he was going to die, which is why he apologized like this.

If he was given a chance, he would definitely take revenge.

Seeing that the gentle and kind lich girl was a little hesitant to strike, Kazuma planned to give a little help and said, "Wiz, you may not know, low-level angels who fall are like demons, they have no gender."

"W-Wait…!"

"— Explosion!"

Wiz used explosion magic with tears in her eyes. And just like that, Dyke was blown to smithereens.
