Chapter 301
Chapter 301 - Devil King's Rebirth
It was a complete monster .
The armor was pressed by something that had swelled up inside, and its initial total length of 3 meters had changed to around 3 . 5 meters . The armor that had been shiny metallic black now glowed gold, and its fluttering red cloak burned with a bright red flame .
Black horns were protruding from its helmet, and magmlike red hair was flowing out from the helmet's gaps . And like an evil spirit king, the mask gave off an awfully terrifying presence, pressuring the surroundings .
Both main hands were holding huge 3 meter long katanas, and the four arms growing from its back were holding red katanas that were 1 . 5 meters each .
That dreadful monster was wrapped with a rainbow aurora, and flapping its huge jet-black wings, it was floating in the air . Furthermore, the pressure generated from that giant body distorted the surrounding space, squeezed the ground, and crushed it, producing a wild wind of magical power .
Ahead of that imposing appearance, far from having a hard time approaching, the average person would have a hard time looking straight at it . If they were unlucky, their mind might break, killing them instantly . And when everything was at its peak, it opened its mouth .
『I am Devil King Ashura . . . no, Devil King Asura Kazanerian . Devil King Kazanerian is dead . I have been reborn here as a true Devil King!』
Yes, that monster spread both its arms, which were holding huge swords, and proclaimed itself a Devil King . That voice had the power to stimulate the instinctual fear inside human beings . That was exactly appropriate for the words of a Devil King .
「Tiara and the rest, withdraw . Don't meet its eyes . 」
With her teeth chattering, Yumika said that .
「Nuu . I'm being overpowered . 」
Jinrai moaned . Devil King's Intimidation didn't currently apply to Jinrai . However, large drops of sweat were flowing down his forehead .
「I'm partly responsible for this happening . If I endure for 15 minutes, it should stop . 」
So saying, Suza took out a flame sword . All of the surrounding companions had grim expressions, and they retreated from the monster in front of them that had named itself a Devil King .
The Devil King who suddenly appeared in front of the South Seal Palace where South Red Season Suza resided . To know why this tragedy happened, rewinding time a little is necessary .

「Unure . . . 」
Jinrai was walking unsteadily .
His entire body was covered with dirt, and he had many bruises .
「Teacher, that's enough, right? How about removing that circlet?」
Jinrai shook his head to Yumika's worried expression .
「No, that Heroic Spirit has completely mastered it . Can I, who am inferior to him in every way, throw in the towel against this much?」
Jinrai was enthusiastic, but it seemed like getting used to it would take him quite some time . He started walking unsteadily again .
「If you think of it as yourself becoming two people, you'll be able to manage reasonably well . 」
Tiara, who could operate 10 summoned knights at the same time, advised . Jinrai replied「Is that how it is?」but he still couldn't use it skillfully . It seemed it wasn't something the talentless Jinrai could learn immediately .
「Well, we've arrived at the Seal Palace, so for the time being, Jinrai-san should sit there and calmly watch . Hey, Rokuten-kun, come!」
In accordance with Kazane's words, the 3 meter giant black armor appeared from the entrance of the Seal Palace . It had a considerably impressive figure, but everyone there was used to seeing the 4 meter Berserk Ogre, so it seemed they weren't that surprised .
「After all, it looks like the King Odanobunaga . 」
After Yumika's words, Kazane replied .
「Well, its carapace is being used for it . 」
Thought it was also reinforced with Adamantium, and that figure looked like a full suit of armor a person could wear . Then again, it was too big for a person to wear, and its arms and legs were actually filled with an Adamantium skeleton that had Muscle Clay arranged like muscles, so it couldn't be worn .
「It's considerably grim . It's nice . 」
「Right?」
Kazane nodded with satisfaction after Jinrai gave his impression .
「Is it holding a katana? It's extremely large . 」
「The 3 meter magic sword『Decapitation』was remade into a zanbato . Right now, the Dairokuten Maou Odachi is stored inside it . Suzsan calls it a Juzanbato . Well, it seems Suzsan made it that way because Rokuten-kun can't use Two-sword Style; it's better to raise the power of its two handed sword . 」
Suza was scratching his head behind Kazane . It was completely due to his taste . And Jinrai was a man who understood .
「I see . Wonderful . 」
Generally speaking, Jinrai loved excessive things .

「So then, Kazane-sama, the exterior has been completely finished, and it can switch to Ashura King mode without any problems . 」
「Okay . Well then, shall I get ready?」
So saying, Kazane walked to the front of Rokuten-kun . The time had finally come for Rokuten-kun's unveiling .
「But you made another fascinating item . 」
After Kazane headed to Rokuten-kun, Jinrai praised Suza, who remained with them .
「No no, everything was based on Kazane-sama's ideas . Where in the world did she get the ideas for such mechanisms?」
Yumika, who was with Jinrai, muttered (Anime and games, I'd guess?) in her head, but she listened silently .
「Moreover, it's something that can only exist thanks to the Skill Kazane-sama possesses . 」
「Six-sword Style? That's certainly something that can't be used by someone unskilled . 」
Jinrai looked at his own prosthetic arm『Cindy』 . Rokuten-kun in front of them was basically working by the same mechanism as Jinrai's prosthetic arm . The prosthetic arm made by Kazane couldn't be operated unless it was a part that could actually be moved by oneself .
「Yes . And without Kazane-sama's level of Mental Resistance, the moment they boarded, a person wouldn't be able to think normally . 」
「Mental Resistance?」
Jinrai tilted his head .
「Yes . It's something we learned when she tried examining them, but it seems the Supreme Ruler's Mask, Dairokuten Maou Armor, and Dairokuten Maou Odachi are Cursed equipment that transplant the desire for ruling into the user's mind . They can't be handled by ordinary humans . 」
「But Kazane can resist?」
「Yes, no matter how many times she rides it, it seems there are no problems . She checked the equipment's information just this morning . Honestly, I was scared to death when I thought about how she used them without knowing about that . 」
So saying, Suza laughed . Jinrai tilted his head and asked Yumika .
「I haven't heard anything about Kazane having a Mental Resistance Skill, though . 」
「Uhh, if I remember correctly, the Circlet of Wisdom gives Mental Resistance, so it's that, isn't it?」
Yumika replied . While looking at Jinrai's forehead and making a「Hmm?」expression .
「Ah, is that so? It wasn't a Skill . I see . 」

Jinrai made a convinced expression, but then several question marks flashed across his face .
「Well then, Ashura King mode starttt!!」
Together with Kazane's carefree voice, the chest part of the armor closed .
「Ah!」「Ah!?」
Then, the voices of Jinrai and Yumika resounded . Suza was wondering what was wrong as he looked at them,
「Wait a second, Kazane . You're forgetting the Circlet of Wisdom!?」
「Not good . Get out, Kazane!」
Listening to their words, Suza also understood the problem . The Circlet of Wisdom that gave Mental Resistance was currently on Jinrai's forehead . In other words, Kazane currently didn't have Mental Resistance . Kazane, who was always wearing the circlet, didn't notice .
And at the same moment Suza looked at Rokuten-kun, a tremendous intimidating air dominated the area . Everything was too late .
『ooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN』
A sound like a scream echoed from Rokuten-kun .
And to start with, the Muscle Clay activated according to Kazane's order . It immediately expanded in the interior, changing the shape of the armor and making it even larger .
The metallic black armor absorbed the magical power of Kazane in the interior, gradually changing to a golden glow . The Guren's Cloak that came flapping out of the bottom of its neck was a fine product obtained in the Vordo Ruins . It was a magic tool that set on fire to protect the target person, and it was also receiving Kazane's magical power; it was enveloped with bright red flame, just like the name Guren suggested .
While that was happening, the helmet's visor raised, and the Supreme Ruler's Mask appeared from inside . It radiated a sinister aura, to the degree that its presence alone pressured the surroundings . From both sides of the helmet, black horns made from the processed tusks of the Black Rock Dragon protruded out, and because magical power was being poured into the Supreme Ruler's Mask, magmlike red hair jumped out of the mask and extended to the outside of the helmet .
The red decorative wings protruding from its back were long katanas . The swords made from Adamantium and the swords made from Odanobunaga Blade materials were strengthened by the new power『Crimson Crystallization』Naga obtained from the『Dairokuten Maou's Blood Orb』 . Together with the four stored arms, they came out with clattering . Also, the Juzanbato had already been separated into the Dairokuten Maou Odachi and the zanbato『Decapitation』, and they were being held in the main two hands .
Furthermore, in the interior, Kazane herself had started changing . She used『Angelization』with the Angel Bracelet . 『Angelization』had the powerful ability to nullify all Status Abnormalities, but since that was based on Status at the time of transformation, it seemed the already mentally contaminated Kazane wasn't restored to normal . And since prostheses were also perceived as part of Kazane by the Angel Bracelet, the wings manifested from Rokuten-kun . Responding to the ominous atmosphere given off by the Dairokuten Maou Armor, Supreme Ruler's Mask, and Devil King's Intimidation, the color of the wings changed from their original white to jet black, and as they spread and flapped, she rose into the air .
After completing everything up to that point, Kazane finally poured Dragon Spirit into her Rainbow Necklace, which made an anti-magic Rainbow Curtain appear . A rainbow-colored aurora covered Rokuten-kun . Devil King's Intimidation was being released at full throttle . It seemed the pressure alone was already affecting the physical domain; it was distorting the space, breaking the earth, and creating a storm of magical power .
And with Kazane inside, a voice resounded from Rokuten-kun .
『I am Devil King Ashura . . . no, Devil King Asura Kazanerian . Devil King Kazanerian is dead . I have been reborn here as a true Devil King!』
It was a voice pronouncing herself a Devil King . Combined with Fear Voice, they were words that awoke inner terror .
Devil King Asura Kazanerian . That name was told to the world for the first time .
