Chapter 26: Triggering the flag to slap yourself in the face
An extremely loud explosion resounded in the forest known as the demon forest.
In Eiji's view, a huge straight line that destroyed the land and forest stretched before him for hundreds of meters with twenty meters wide.
The beastmen named Ajax was thrown very far by it and he seemed to crash into a mountain in the distance.
After completing the transformation of Demon King Varvatos, although now the fusion level had only reached 25%.
In addition to experiencing changes in appearance such as white hair and velvet red eyes that made him even more handsome.
Eiji felt that his body was filled with flowing magic.
Many of Varvatos' magic spells were imprinted in his brain and what he used before was one of the offensive spells.
Wind Magic: [Giga Wind]
A high-level wind spell that generates powerful air currents.
Before Ajax was about to touch the girls, he instantly created a magic circle or rune in front of him with a wave of his hand in 0.1 seconds.
That speed must be something extraordinary among witches or mages, especially when it was a high-level magic spell.
But who is he now?
Well he's a person who pretends to be the Demon King Varvatos and has some of his power.
25% to be exact.
Even though he didn't know the details of the original work, Eiji was sure that the protagonist Varvatos/Ard Meteor in the franchise was the type of protagonist with a god-level Mage role.
The protagonist's peak strength was definitely something that exceeded planetary level.
After all, 25% of his power was already this strong, and Eiji knew there were other magic spells much stronger than [Giga Wind] that he could use at the moment.
As expected of the protagonist of the world of sword and sorcery.
I feel like Varvatos is cheating too much, right?
¶{Host, in the future you will definitely become stronger than him. But putting that aside, did you forget your enemy is not just one? That guy named Jack is now right behind you with a huge sword that is gathering energy.}
¶{He's going to slash you!}
'Calm Miss System. You're panicking too much.'
Eiji saw a large, dark shadow blocking his own under the purple sky that shone like the sun.
Behind him, there was a humanoid wolf named Jack who was swinging his sword horizontally.
The other party seemed to want to cut him in half.
"I admit we may have underestimated you too much, but you're now caught off guard! Human, die!"
Jack smiled coldly, the huge sword he swung emitted a green aura, tearing through the air and the speed was extremely fast!
Even so, without looking back.
Eiji shook his head mentally and chanted another magic spell quickly.
"Wall."
As the name suggests, the spell created a wall.
A magic circle was created and a translucent barrier immediately enveloped him.
*Bang!!*
The huge sword with a terrifying green aura that was about to cut him now crashed into his magic barrier.
Jack was surprised to see his attack successfully blocked.
But he still wasn't done, with a smirk on his face.
He continued to press his sword into Eiji's magic barrier, the green aura on his sword even stronger, making the ground under his feet break.
*Crack*
Cracks began to appear in his magic barrier, Eiji widened his eyes slightly.
At this moment, Ajax, the tiger Beastmen suddenly appeared in front of him with fists shrouded in red aura.
After being hit by a high level magic attack earlier, he was not injured in the slightest which was proof that his physique was very strong.
"Bastard! How dare a mere carbon human call me cat!"
"I am the great galactic tiger! I'll kill you right now!"
*Bang!!!*
*Crack*
An even bigger crack appeared in the magic barrier, and the scene outside the barrier was already badly damaged by the two Beastmen's attack.
Eiji raised his eyebrows, he raised one hand up and chanted another spell.
A high level spell.
"Ultima Fire Pillar."
A huge red magic circle appeared under his feet, covering everything within a 100-meter radius - including Ajax and Jack of course.
In no time, a giant pillar of fire exploded into the sky from that magic circle. Except for Eiji, everything within his magic range was burned and destroyed.
From a distance, many supernatural beings living in the demon forest saw the giant pillar of fire that pierced the sky.
There were also terrifying magic fluctuations contained in that fire.
Whoever did that, they knew someone must be fighting.
Many of them chose to flee, and some powerful creatures gazed at the scene with interest.
Inside a certain cave deep in the demon forest. A pair of blue eyes that were originally closed opened.
She was looking in a certain direction where that sizable magic fluctuations were coming from.
Inside the magic barrier he had restored, Eiji saw the surrounding scenery filled with smoke.
With a wave of his hand, a simple wind spell, the smoke soon dissipated and he could finally see the ground destroyed and scorched as far as he could see.
The two Beastmen were nowhere to be found, but he was not naive enough to believe the previous attack was enough to kill both of them.
And sure enough.
The sound of laughter came from a certain direction, tens of meters away from him to be precise.
Two figures that were slightly charred, but looked fine stood looking at him.
"Hahaha! For a human, you're pretty good at playing magic."
"But too bad, you're fighting Luhan Beastmen like us."
"Our physique is so strong, even all your previous attacks meant nothing to us."
"Now it's our turn to get a little serious, right Jack?"
"..."
Jack didn't answer, but a terrifying green aura exploded from his body, making the gravity around him change.
Many pebbles under his feet began to float and crumble into ashes.
Ajax grinned, he did the same with his red aura and it exploded.
The auras of the two were like terrifying beasts that covered hundreds of meters with their pressure.
Eiji's excretion was a little ugly seeing this.
"Aren't they both Beastmen? Why do I feel like they're both Super Saiyan-like?"
"Hey they're not from that franchise, right?"
Who was she asking? Miss System, of course.
¶{I'm sure they're not from Dragon Ball. But host, they must be from another franchise with an unknown power system.}
"You can't confirm the details?"
¶{Sorry host, but without a clear clue. I don't have the ability to identify which franchise someone is from.}
"..."
Eiji wanted to say something more, but Ajax instantly appeared in front of him and punched his magic barrier.
Unlike before, this time his magic barrier broke and he was thrown backwards.
In the process, as he watched the sky move quickly.
Jack appeared with a sword in his hand and made a brutal slash in the air.
Even with the Sharingan, Eiji was almost too late to react.
"Skywalker."
As if stepping on air, he flew in the sky and instantly opened the distance from the two Beastmen.
"Oh, flying magic?"
Jack who failed with his slash was not upset, but he looked at Eiji who was flying far in the sky flatly.
"Hehe, do you think we can't chase you in the sky?"
Ajax grinned, he jumped high, on par with Eiji.
He was basically flying.
Jack also did the same before the two finally attacked again.
Sweat began to drip down Eiji's forehead, he was fighting in the sky with the two Beastmen.
Using Varvatos' various offensive and defensive spells.
Even so, even though all the attacks hit the two Beastmen.
They were unharmed, even if injured, they quickly healed as if they had an extremely fast wound regeneration ability.
Apart from using Varvatos' power, Eiji also did not forget to use his other powers.
He used the 47% fusion BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm character card.
His red lightning power had increased a lot compared to when he dueled with Zastin.
He could manipulate the sky so that it was filled with red lightning and showered the two Beastmen with lightning rain.
Even so, everything he did meant nothing in the face of the Beastmen's physical defenses.
It was completely insane.
Eiji even suspected whether the two people were immune to magic attacks?
What was amazing was not their attacks which were basically physical attacks mixed with the aura in their bodies which he could at least still handle by dodging and defending.
But it was their defense that made it difficult.
If it continued like this, he would probably lose because he ran out of power and magic first.
Recalling the protagonist Rito who was frightened when he saw the two people.
Eiji finally understood why Rito would rather run away than fight with the two.
Even if you can fight them, so what? Unless you're strong enough to injure them, your attacks will only be useless in the face of their unreasonable physical defenses and wound regeneration.
Is this the power of the Luhan Beastmen? A race from another galaxy that seems to like walking around in space?
Hearing all the information that one of the Beastmen named Ajax had said so far. Eiji has a guess that space is not only limited to the To Love Ru franchise, but there are also other franchises that make the galaxy even wider.
And the scale of this universe was wider than he thought!
'Damn it, if I had known there would be so many franchises... So many that I'm so confident in my current power."
'I shouldn't have said anything about it being easy to slap people in the face unless it's a boss character or something...'
'I must have triggered the flag to slap my own face back then.'
Eiji smiled wryly, in the future maybe it's better not to be too arrogant so that the author doesn't send me high-level enemies in the early stages?
If it's the protagonist, I'm sure the damn author will only send cannon fodder that can increase the protagonist's level.
But me? A time traveler without a protagonist halo.
Instead of being cannon fodder, high-level enemies were sent to kill me.
For the first time, I felt the injustice in this world.
¶{Host... cough, I don't know what to say. Should I comfort you?}
"No need. I'm not big baby, I'm just a little upset."
Eiji's breathing was a bit heavy now.
A few small scratches appeared on his body from the crazy attack he almost dodged from the two Beastmen.
The three of them continued to fight in the sky and on the ground.
The destruction caused by their fight extended in the forest area and the forest itself had many trees uprooted, the ground destroyed and some mountains hollowed out.
He had even taken out his Excalibur to parry the attacks and performed the ultimate attack many times.
The golden light saber continued to flash in the sky, despite successfully hitting the two Beastmen.
It turned out that Excalibur's ultimate attack wasn't even enough.
Of course, he also didn't use Excalibur's full power in every attack.
Because that was his last trump card.
He couldn't bet on doing that yet because it would be tantamount to making a final attack with his current power.
If he still failed to kill the two Beastmen.
He would die because by then he would completely run out of energy.
He also had his limits, okay?
Even his magic power has started to deplete at this point.
Eiji certainly thought hard.
What should he do to kill these two people with one attack without too much risk?
In his brain, in the list of 25% Varbatos magic spells that numbered in the hundreds.
He finally found it.
An offensive magic spell worth trying in this situation!
A rare maniacal grin appeared on his face.
¶{Host, are you sure you want to do this? If you do... This whole forest might...}
"What about the forest? If I'm not mistaken this is the demon forest. The largest forest in the underworld."
"I'm sure it won't destroy the entire forest. Maybe only a few tens of percent of the entire forest?"
Eiji asked jokingly.
Of course, after all his life was more important than worrying about this forest.
Miss System was silent, but she agreed with what her host was thinking.
She honestly asked just because she was curious.
Without any more nonsense, Eiji who had been continuously attacking and dodging finally stopped in midair.
"You give up, human?"
"Hehe Eiji Seiya, right? After you die. I'll take care of those beautiful girls. I've memorized their smell, so it's easy to find and kidnap them."
Ajax, these tiger Beastmen seem to be very lascivious and lustful.
Eiji's expression was indifferent, but anyone could clearly see there was a very cold killing intent in his eyes that were currently as red as blood.
It just so happened that the fusion level of the Demon King Varvatos card also started to increase at this time.
Now it became: [31%]
The magic power that was originally started to deplete after the battle all this time.
Magic power like several dozen waterfalls poured into a river surged and spilled from his body.
The coercion that was heavier and scarier than before made Ajax and Jack frown.
What was wrong with this human?
He was suddenly several times stronger than before!
Now, their animal instincts even started screaming at them to run away.
Which took them by surprise of course.
Before they took action, Eiji waved one hand.
Several black chains with a pitch black aura wrapped around the two Beastmen as if holding them in the air.
"!!!"
Ajax and Jack had no time to dodge as all those chains suddenly appeared in the void around them.
Even with their strength, it was extremely difficult to break free from these chains!
"What? What kind of chains are these? I can't get them off!"
"Damn it, this human has many tricks. Even so, just like before. Your magic won't be able to hurt us!"
Eiji smiled slightly. "Oh? Really?"
"Of course!" Ajax roared with an arrogant look on his face.
He was confident even if the human in front of him seemed stronger than before.
He was so confident his physical defenses were something that magic could not penetrate.
What was magic? He honestly looked down on the type of energy those witches or mages used.
In his galaxy, except for those of high status whom he dared not provoke. The many mages he had killed proved that their magic was nothing in the face of his physical defenses.
The humans in front of him must also be nothing more than the mages he had killed in the past.
Eiji knew these two Beastmen, especially the one named Ajax looked down on humans.
It was very clear from his gaze.
Heh, unfortunately Eiji didn't care.
Seven magic circles called ancient runes floated behind him.
The sky over there gradually darkened and the air felt eerie, even for the supernatural beings living in the demon forest.
Raising one palm forward, precisely at the two Beastmen.
Indifferently, he cast the spell that would end this fight.
"Ultimatum Zero."
...
..
..
A moment ago outside the demon forest.
As Rias, Sona, Lala and the others began to worry about Eiji, especially when they felt many earth-shaking explosions happening in the depths of the forest.
Sona had even called her older sister as she felt the situation was an emergency.
She was worried that Eiji would die while fighting the two men.
Eiji was her fiancé after all.
So she asked for help.
The figure of a beautiful twintail black-haired girl also finally appeared from the teleportation magic circle.
With a short body, but with bigger breasts than Sona.
She was Sona's older sister who came while wearing a pink Magical Girl costume.
There was also a heart-shaped magic wand in her hand.
Her appearance left everyone speechless.
Sona felt her face burning with embarrassment.
My older sister...
What clothes are you wearing?
Can you come in more normal clothes!?
The girl complained in her heart.
"Sona-chan! Onee-chan is coming~!
"Oh, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to call Onee-chan! What's wrong, miss me? Onee-chan missed you too, Sona-chan!"
Excited.
And excited.
Serafall Leviathan, immediately hugged his little sister tightly like a koala.
"Let go, let go of me Onee-sama!"
"Stop hugging me, my friends are watching!"
Sona rebelled in her sister's arms and managed to extricate herself from the little girl's embrace.
Serafall was a little displeased, as usual her younger sister was very shy and dishonest.
In front of your friends, you were still shy when Onee-chan hugged you?
By the way she finally turned to what Sona called her friends.
All of them were girls she knew of course, except for the pink-haired girl who looked pretty and innocent.
She stood in front of the group of girls and struck a magical girl pose.
"Rias-chan, Akeno-chan, Tsubaki-chan and ... The cute girl with pink hair. Hello~ Serafall Leviathan☆, Levia-tan☆ has arrived!"
Her childish smile and sweet smile, overwhelmed Rias and the others and they just nodded.
They certainly knew Sona's older sister.
But Lala was certainly seeing Serafall for the first time.
The other party's smile and actions somehow also made her smile childishly.
She took out her hand to make introductions and said, "Hello Levia-tan, I'm Lala Satalin Deviluke, nice to meet you."
"Oh! Oh! Nice to meet you Lala-chan!"
Serafall naturally took Lala's hand and they shook hands.
The two seemed to get along very quickly, leaving everyone a little surprised.
But this was not the time for that, Sona hurriedly coughed and said: "Onee-sama, I called you here because I need your help."
"Oh? Sona-chan needs Onee-chan's help? Of course, Onee-chan will do for you!"
Serafall finished shaking hands with Lala, and she looked at her younger sister curiously.
She could honestly hear that inner voice as well.
She could slightly guess why Sona looked worried about someone at the moment.
And sure enough.
Her younger sister called her to...
"Onee-sama, I need you to help Eiji! He's fighting with two very strong people in the forest. I need you to help him!"
"Levia-tan! I'm also asking you for help. According to Sona, you strong, can you help Eiji?"
Lala also begged Serafall.
Rias and the others looked at Serafall as if asking her for the same thing.
"..." Serafall who was asked by everyone fell silent.
She certainly knew who the Eiji that Sona and everyone was referring to was.
The other party was the one who had defeated her younger sister in chess and was arguably her younger sister's current fiancé.
The other party was also the person whose inner voice she could hear all this time.
Although she was attracted to him, it was mainly because of him that she was able to know Sona's little secret.
Even so, she still hadn't accepted him as her cute little sister's fiancé.
But because of her sister's pleading expression and all those cute girls.
She nodded.
"Okay, leave this matter to Levia-tan☆!"
"I can feel some people fighting in the forest."
"I'll go to... Huh?"
Serafall was originally about to teleport directly to Eiji's location.
But she felt crazy and dangerous magic energy fluctuations!
She immediately stood in front of Sona and the others and formed a magic barrier as soon as possible.
"Everyone! Stay behind me!"
Sona, Rias, Lala and the others were confused.
But they saw beyond Serafall's magic barrier.
The sky in the depths of the forest was shining brightly, it was very far away and the location must be exactly where Eiji and his two enemies were fighting.
A pillar of light pierced the sky, from a distance it looked small, but it slowly widened and was accompanied by a very loud earthquake.
Although they were not actually hit by the explosion.
The strong wind blowing from the center of the explosion was enough to make the trees in front of them fall and fly!
The blinding light in front of their eyes made them all close their eyes.
There was the same question on their minds.
Who made an explosion of this magnitude?
Was it Eiji or his enemy?
They all certainly hoped it was the former rather than the latter!

A/N 2
Dog Author: "You might be wondering why Eiji didn't just use Excalibur at full power to end the fight right away? Well I gave the opportunity for Eiji to use his other rewards:) Also in the next few chapters I forgot Eiji had "Full Counter". This plot was slow and it was still the same day, but in the next plot I'll try to make it faster. I'll shorten some things with monologues and...*BAM!*"
Miss System: "Author-san, are you okay?!"
Dog Author: "Cough! It's okay little girl, don't worry. Someone threw a power stone at my head. It doesn't hurt because it's only 0 damage."
Miss System: "You said that, but you vomited blood."
Eiji: "So you're a little girl, Miss System?"
Miss System: "That's what you're catching from all this nonsense, host?"
Dog Author: "Eiji, you might have to suffer a little later."
Eiji: "???"
