Chapter 105
"It's been a long time, Noir and Lumière. How many hundreds of millions of years has it been since we last met face to face like this?"
Scarlett speaks to us from within the crystal. More precisely, it’s not Scarlett herself, but her previous incarnation—Flamme of the Crimson Clan. She was the very one who triggered the "Shinra War," a conflict for dominance that ultimately led to the downfall of the supreme demons. According to Lumière, she was a pure-blooded battle maniac—someone who loved fighting more than eating and had dedicated her entire life to battle.
"We are not Noir and Lumière. We are their reincarnations—Albert and Yuuka."
"Hmm? …I see. So, the two of you have been reborn."
"And so have you, Lady Flamme. Your reincarnation is my dear friend, Scarlett Rod Blaze. She's been reborn as a 'Guide' of the Demon Realm."
"The world seems to have changed quite a bit while I wasn’t looking. That magic power… are you the next generation of demon gods?"
"No, not supreme demons—demonkin. Some refer to us as the 'Deep Demonkin' or the 'Deep Demons.'"
"Not gods but kin, demonkin, is it? 'Deep Demons'—that's a name I’ve never heard before. …Hmm. It certainly feels like you're something apart from the demonkin I once knew. Truly fascinating."
It feels like Flamme is observing us. Her eyes are closed, yet somehow I could tell she was watching intently.
"We came here to rescue Scarlett. Please, we ask for your help in saving her."
"Hmm. You're not lying. It seems to be the truth."
"Then, will you help—"
"Now, now, not so fast. Before that—"
Flamme opened her eyes. In that instant, the crystal shattered with a piercing sound. An overwhelming surge of magical power exploded forth, threatening to swallow us whole. If not for our Sanctuary Magic, both Albert and I, as well as the other Deep Demons—Lady Cecilia and Minato—might hold out, but Yuri and the others would surely be crushed under the pressure. The magical barrier collided with the torrent of power, creating a harsh, discordant resonance. Watching this unfold, Flamme laughed in delight.
"Magnificent. How long has it been since I felt this surge of fighting spirit? You've caught my interest. Fight me. If you win, I’ll give Scarlett back."
"Well, saw that coming."
"Yeah, pretty much what we expected."
"Honestly, every single one of you is way too hot-blooded…"
"This is nuts! Looks like it’s gonna be a blast!"
"Pretty much unfolding exactly as predicted."
"Mina-kun, ready to go?"
"Of course. Let’s do this, See-chan."
Everyone responded in their own way, readying for battle. In the forbidden domain—the Abyss—the battle began against a god who once ruled this world.
