——Just how far will the current me be able to go?
Diablo approached the Salamander.
The summoned beasts were still attacking, but it only had the effect of irritating his eyes.
He stood in front of the Salamander.
It was big enough that he had to look up.
He couldn’t help but pray.
——Please, don’t let it end in one hit.
He wanted it to at least be durable enough for him to test out his physical attack strength.
Diablo swung 《The Staff of Tenma》 horizontally. It struck the nape of the the Salamander’s neck.
For the resistance, it was as if he were brushing away fog.
And then, as if it were sliced with a sharp blade, the head of the huge summoned beast easily separated from the body.
While a red phosphorescence fluttered about, the Salamander was terminated.
Defeated summoned beasts would change into dark, muddied crystals and become unusable for a while. That was what tumbled on the ground.
Diablo breathed a sigh.
「It was way too weak.」
He wanted it to at least endure a single attack of a magic specialized Demon. Was it wrong of him to expect anything from something like a level 30 fire lizard?
Galark opened his eyes wide.
「Wha…………? Ah, n, no! Don’t falter! J, just one of them has been done in! Wh, what are you doing, everyone! This is our chance! We, we need to defeat this guy! Kill him!」
「If you were going to run away, I wasn’t intending on chasing you but……I have no choice. I guess I should test out the attack magic’s attribute compensation next.」
The game’s way was that when the receiving side’s attribute is the same or advantageous against the attacking side’s attribute, the attack’s power is attenuated.
Fire is strong against wind, wind is strong against earth, earth is strong against water, water is strong against fire.
In other words, in the case where a water attribute summoned beast is attacked with a fire chemical elemental magic, the power should fall considerably. He would check that.
Diablo turned his staff towards a 《Sprite of Water》.
「Burst open, 《Explosion》!」
The explosion caused by magic landed on the Sprite of Water.
In conclusion——the opponent was too weak to confirm the attribute compensation.
The 《Explosion》 that Diablo fired enveloped not only the Sprite of Water that he targeted, but also the other surrounding summoned beasts.
In addition, the explosion’s after-effect gouged out the ground, smashed the stone paving and scattered it all about the area.
Not only did it damage the outer walls of the buildings facing the street, it also hit Galark and the other robe figures of the group.
There were fortunately no casualties but……
The summoned beasts were annihilated.
——I messed up. I should have tested it with a bit more weaker magic.
Galark’s knees gave way and he sank down.
「A……annihilated……In one attack, annihilated……?」
It wasn’t just him. The robe figured guys were in a state worthy of being called tragic. Those that burst into tears, those that emitted a strange voice, those that gave outbursts of anger to Galark, those that were dumbfounded……
It would seem that despite being the lowest grade summoned beasts, to them, they were a powerful strength to be proud of.
It was a level that you could pass if you had about a week in the game though.
He at least understood that it couldn’t be tested.
If he kicked them about this much, they would probably never pick a fight with him again. He thought positively about how one troublesome thing was solved.
When Diablo tried to leave, surprisingly, Galark sent out his voice.
「Y, you……just what are you!? Impossible……Something like this is……impossible……」
What was he?
He was summoned but he wasn’t a summoned beast nor was he a member of the races of this other world.
He had plans of becoming an adventurer, but, right now, he was wasn’t.
Diablo glared at them.
The wounded all over and stupefied underlings of the Magician’s Society. Fear travelled through the group of robed figures.
The smile of a devil was turned towards them.
「My name is 《Diablo》. I am a Demon King that came from another world.」
