「Who's going to be your wife! I already have a husband!」
Queen Silhouette fired her magic rifle at Freed in rapid succession while desperately enduring the recoil of the gun with her small body.
Freed, who was blasted to the wall by the shower of shots the queen unleashed, was laughing for some reason.
「Silhouette, that's enough. I'll take care of the rest.」
I stood in front of Silhouette to protect her.
I confronted Free and took out my shining white sword of light and dull silver neutral sword.
「Silesie's hero….you know that my goal is justice!」
「Why would I care about your goal!」
Freed slashed me with his sword of light and sword of darkness.
His bloodshot red eyes showed he was no longer sane.
As we continued our exchange several times, Freed's sword of light gradually turned dark brown. On his other hand, his sword of darkness becomes even darker.
Is Freed about to completely fall into darkness?
「I am going to follow the footsteps of my heroic father and bring order to the world. As the son of an emperor, it was my destiny to do so!」
「I already told you I don't give a damn about your goal!」
We attacked each other more and when I backed away, a shower of bullets was fired into Freed's body.
The slave girl gunners, who had repositioned themselves, shot freed from the side. Mixed in with them is Oracle-chan's shockwave.
Freed no longer had a single ally here.
Sharon, who had been slashed by Freed, managed to stand with the help of other slave girls.
It's a good thing that I made her wear my previous mithril hauberk.
「I will be the only hero in the world, the most powerful emperor in the world, and the light that will bring peace and stability to this world. Thus, I will not be defeated by anyone!」
「Don't drag the world into your selfish obsession!」
「Takeru, I can still do it. As long as I defeat you, my victory will be unassailable!」
「Damn….enough, just die already!」
Even after that, Freed is still formidable. His skin is already tinged with blue showing signs of becoming a demon king.
There is only one demon king's core in Freed's body. By that logic, he shouldn't be as powerful as the super demon king Brynie. He shouldn't even be able to use imagination swords with both hands.
In that case, why can he still use two swords? Why does he still have this much power?
Wielding the sword of light, which has turned dark brown, and the sword of darkness, which has become darker and darker, Freed still manages to repel my attacks despite being hit by a storm of magic and bullets.
With the imperial army defeated, his entourage fell, and Freed fully wounded, it can already be considered as the end of the war.
And yet, at this last moment, Freed's unbreaking willpower is overflowing, setting his imagination swords ablaze.
「Come on, let's settle this, Takeru.」
「Freed….」
This is no longer just the power of a hero who has fallen into darkness. This is no longer just being reincarnated as a demon king.
Freed is trying to become a new existence, both hero and demon king.
He will be the strongest because he will be a being of both dark and light.
Oddly enough, this was the extreme point reached by the man who aimed to be the strongest in the world.
You are indeed strong, Free. You have sought power in every possible way and at this moment, you stand at the top of the world.
However, I will never recognize your power.
「I am the absolute justice. I am the strongest man in the world.」
「You are….」
Chaos, the birth mother of this world, doesn't have any will that can be called human-like or even Asama-like.
However, Mother Chaos will never forgive Freed for trying to rule this world as he pleases by acquiring not just the power of light but also the power of darkness.
That is why the "furukisha" gave me this sword.
The neutral sword is charged with divine power and is roaring at me to overthrow Freed, who has tampered with the power of Mother Chaos.
I feel bad for Asama, who believes in the goodness of mankind and continues to strive to bring light to the world, but the essence of the world is chaos.
This world must not be ruled by the justice of one emperor.
And what's more, no one can have both darkness and light.
「Power!」
「You're too greedy!」
Taking the chance of Freed brushing off bullets, I thrust the neutral sword deep into Freed's chest.
I used the sword of light to block Freed's attempt to stop me using the sword of darkness and I continued to pierce him as deeply as I could.
The orichalcum armor that should have protected Freed, wasn't able to do anything with the neutral sword.
It's no wonder because I pierced the part that was once penetrated by the neutral sword.
Through his right hand, the power of chaos overflows, destroying his body from the inside.
Freed's red-dyed eyes eventually lost light, his hands hung down, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
It was neither the defeat of the demon king nor the killing of a hero.
The very existence of Freed, who had pursued the power of both darkness and light, was crushed by the will of the world.
All that remained was his broken orichalcum armor and Freed's empty shell.
The battle is over.
