"Damn, what the heck? It has high illusion resistance in addition to magic immunity. "Feeling the illusion being broken, Akira cursed loudly. He really wanted to say, This is cheating, but knowing that he is out of time, he kept his mouth shut. But he decided that when he met Zeref in the future, he would first beat that man to a pulp for this.
Akira really wants to ask what Zeref was smoking when he made Deliora. I mean, he can accept the magic immunity, but why the hell did he add an illusion resistance to this demon? It is like he is targeting me specifically.
"Hey, Mrs. Ur, can you still fight? " Akira asked as he looked at Ur, who was running with him. On her back was Leon, while on Akira's back was Gray.
"Yes, but none of my attacks can cause much damage to Deliora, " Ur said truthfully. Although she was surprised that the one who came to save them was a child no younger than her two apprentices, she still decided to ignore this and focus on the main topic.
"Tell me, if we keep fighting, how much time can you hold on? " Akira asked as a plan began to formulate in his mind.
"Umm, I think I can hold on for at least an hour, at most. But that is all that I can hold on to before all my mana reserves die down." Ur said that after thinking about it for a while.
"Good, then this makes things is far easier. " Akira grinned as an evil smile appeared on his face. If any of the guild members were to ever see this smile, they would not hesitate and run as far as their legs could bring them.
Whenever Akira had this smile, someone was bound to suffer.
"Receive Magic: Rimuru Form." Light shone on Akira's body, and he changed into his Rimuru form.
"Clone technique, " Akira stopped and slapped the ground with his hand. The ground was enveloped in a huge magic circle, and slowly, numerous slimes began to appear from the magic circle.
The number of slimes that appeared was close to 20. And some of them were very big, while some of them were very small.
"Quick, place these two on one of these slimes so these guys can take these two to safety. " Akira said as he placed the unconscious Gray on one of the big slimes.
Ur although puzzled as to what this boy was cooking, hesitated for a moment before placing Leon, one of the slimes, too. After that, the two big slimes rushed away from this place, at an impressive speed, taking both Leon and Gray on their backs.
After seeing his clones had gone far enough, Akira turned to Ur and spoke, " Okay, here is the plan: keep Deliora accompanied for at least 20 minutes. In that time, I set up a formation to seriously injure him or even kill him completely.
Ur looked at him with surprise. This kid actually knows how to set up formations. And one that is strong enough to hold Deliora back. For a moment, Ur thought he was lying, but thinking that there is no point in lying to her, she decided to do as Akira said.
If anything went wrong, she could always use her forbidden magic to seal Deliora off. Now that her apprentices are taken away to safety, she can fight with peace in mind.
"Okay, kid, I will do my best to hold Deliora back. " Ur nodded and took a stance and activated her ice magic.
"Okay, Mrs. Ur, " Akira said as he began to control all the remaining slimes at the same time. He first made them disperse everywhere near them and made them start drawing Abyss ruins on their bodies.
Just as Akira was busy preparing the trap, the target, Deliora, suddenly descended from the sky. The demon roared and attacked immediately. The demon had already lost all his patience and wanted to kill these bugs who dared to make a fool out of him.
"Ice-Make: Rosen Krone. " Ur immediately began her counterattack. Now that she has no one to hold her back, she can attack freely.
Numerous ice vines rose from the ground, binding Deliora once again. But this time, Ur didn't stop just there.
"Ice Make: Cannon"
"Ice Make: Dragon"
"Ice Make: White Tiger"
One by one, numerous attacks began to be sent at Deliora in rapid succession. Just from the rapid display of Ur's casting speed, it was enough for one to realize how the rumors of Ur's strength being close to that of a Ten Wizard Saint were true.
No mere mage could have such control over their magic and switch attacks this rapidly.
And of course, there are exceptions to this rule.
While Ur was holding Deliora back, Akira, with his now 30 clones, had quietly surrounded them.
"Great sage, help me manage my magic power. I will start the casting now, " Akira said as one of his eyes began to turn red.
A red and dark magic circle appeared under his feet, and then his hands began to move at an impressive speed, leaving many afterimages.
One by one, numerous magic circles began to appear on his slime clone's bodies. Gradually, his clones began to melt to the ground. Then, as if they were suddenly called by a sudden force, all of these clones began to float and form red symbols in the air.
After all thirty clones had turned into red glowing symbols, Akira stopped making hand seals and slapped the ground while shouting,
"Activate Abyss rune art No. 1: Demon Slaying Formation."
The red symbols all shot through the air and finally landed on the ground. Then, as a giant magic circle encompassing all of them appeared, making both Deliora and Ur surprised. But before any of them could react, they all felt an ancient power lock onto them and suppress them.
Ur as a human, were not that affected by this, but due to all that fatigue and almost nearing her magic power limit, she too was affected by the suppression force. But Deliora, who was a demon and the target of this formation, had it the worst.
As the main target of this formation, not only was Deliora suppressed by an ancient power, but it also began to feel its skin getting hotter and hotter.
This is the banishing effect of the formation that is meant to kill all dark beings. Although Deliora had a terrifying magic resistance, Akira's formation was like a constant machine gun attack that began to chip away at his defense piece by piece.
Like they say, if you're not dealing any damage, then you are not hitting it hard enough.
But just as everything was going smoothly, something happened that made Akira break into a cold sweat.
Feeling fear of death, the demon Deliora did something it had never been able to do for most of its life. It entered its Etherious Form.
As a demon made by Zeref, it too had its ultimate form, the Etherious Form. But unlike others, it had never been able to access it due to its lower intelligence compared to its peers. After all, just from the fact that it couldn't communicate properly speaks to how much intelligence it had compared to the other demons made by Zeref.
" You gotta be kidding me, " Akira muttered under his breath as he looked at the new Deliora, who was now looking at him with anger.
