The arrogant smile on Abyss Trinity's face froze when he heard what Eiji said.
He was a little offended.
"So obvious? I'm the Magic King! Although my current power is incomplete. My theme is a nightmare for you mages."
His words sounded arrogant but it was a fact.
Compared to the Magic Kings from the other archives. Crimson Magic King, the otherworldly Abyss Trinity had a combination of Archives and themes that could be considered perfect and deadly.
Long ago before he was summoned by the Spriggan to the Sky Library as a weapon to kill this world's future Magic King, Arata.
Arata didn't know this but his and Lilith's arrival here had been known for a long time by Abyss Trinity. All this time, the Abyss Trinity had only been patiently waiting for them to come to the Sky Library.
The purpose was the same as Lilith had said. But to be clear, his actual purpose was similar to what Hijiri wanted to do.
Abyss Trinity wanted to destroy the Magic King System and to do so he killed his Trinity Seven and even destroyed his own world.
However, it didn't end there. Abyss Trinity also wanted to destroy other worlds that had Magic Kings. For that, when Lilith was born and was still a baby, she was sent to an alternate world which is basically the world she lives in now.
Lilith was an important key to connecting this world with Abyss Trinity's world so that the man could recover his full power.
Eiji knew all this and although he had told the heroines, especially Lilith in the past about this through his inner voice.
He explained in more detail about it in his inner voice and now Lilith was staring at her father complicatedly.
Hijiri who was listening from inside the necklace was surprised. After all, unlike Lilith and the other heroine, she only knew about Abyss Trinity's background and purpose similar to her now.
If it was her before meeting Eiji and hearing his inner voice. Hijiri wanted to invite Abyss Trinity to her group, Iscariot. But now?
Despite her good impression of Arata that was declining. She still wanted to destroy the Magic King System. But she wanted to recover her body with Eiji's help and after that...
It might not be bad to follow Eiji who knew a lot about the future of the world because as long as there was him. Hijiri doubted Arata could destroy the world.
Eiji didn't know what Hijiri was thinking. However, he received a positive level notification from Leme.
[Hijiri +2]
It's really strange.
Sometimes Eiji didn't know how the heroines' brains worked.
For now, he took out Judecca from his inventory and released a small portion of Varvatos' magic.
*Boom!*
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, crimson magic erupted from Eiji's body. The man's hair turned snow-white and golden cross pupils appeared in his eyes.
He looked even more handsome which left the women at the scene dazed. But in the eyes of Abyss Trinity and Arata, Eiji looked terrifying.
The oppression from his body shrunk their Magic King Element.
Abyss Trinity felt a chill in his heart as if he had been confronted by an Evil God or something. Now, he realized that he had underestimated his daughter's boyfriend too much!
He did not hesitate to take out his own sword, Caina. It was a Magic King Weapon similar in appearance to a serrated sword like Judecca but crimson in color.
Arata who saw the two of them having a Magic King Weapon in their respective hands felt envious as he didn't have one at all.
"Father-in-law, you don't seem to have noticed the first point I previously mentioned. Unlike other mages you are now dealing with me."
Eiji smiled slightly. He was now in Varvatos' form. This was not his full form otherwise the women around him would feel even more terrifying terror from him.
Just to deal with his father-in-law.
He thought this form was more than enough.
"Interesting. But did you not hear anything I said earlier? Eiji, I admit that the magic power you show exceeds my current self. But now I have also taken out my weapon, Caina."
"With this I-"
Abyss Trinity was still confident in the defense given by his theme. He wanted to say that with Caina in his hands, he could control nothingness more efficiently and more powerfully than before.
However, Eiji didn't care and directly attacked him.
"Judecca, I will use my magic spell. Giga Flame."
[I understand what you want to do, Master. Magic synchronization activated!]
Instantly, Judecca was enveloped by red flames with terrifying magic fluctuations. It was one of Varvatos' magic spells, Giga Flame which could release a giant fireball. But now it turned into a flame that coated the blade of a sword with no weaker power.
The fire was so hot that Lilith and the others began to feel an increase in temperature in the ruins that were originally cold because they were above the cloudy sky.
Those around Eiji could be burned. Fortunately Eiji was moving so fast that even Lugh's eyes that could see the speed of light were unable to follow his movements.
Eiji suddenly appeared in front of Abyss Trinity as if teleporting with Judecca raised high into the sky and his flames began to grow like a giant pillar of fire.
He performed a vertical slash.
Abyss Trinity could barely react if not for his instinct to make the snake that was the manifestation of his theme, Vanitas move to envelop his entire body.
He also luckily managed to lift Caina in front of his body.
Abyss Trinity was slightly relieved but the expression turned to horror because at this moment Eiji's attack penetrated the defense he was proud of.
**Boom!!**
An even bigger explosion occurred. A strong wind blew so that Lilith and the others had to close their eyes for a while to prevent dust from entering their eyes.
After they opened their eyes. They were dumbfounded when they saw ruins, castles in the distance and even mountains burning in a straight line.
The sight was like the gates of hell had just opened.
They would be even more dumbfounded if they found out that the slash created a 100km-long crater.
It exceeded the size of the Sky Library so that the clouds at their height were also slashed in a straight line.
People on the ground within a 100km radius could see the dark clouds split with trails of red fire.
The sight made people who saw it shudder. The mages who saw it wondered who the person who unleashed the attack was?
Was it the Trinity Seven? Paladins? Or perhaps the reborn Magic King? Whoever it was. They did not dare to provoke him.
"That's a Magical Swordsman-style move. Good job, Judecca."
[It's all because of your magic, Master. I just accommodated your magic to control its intensity so as not to burn myself into molten metal.]
Judecca was actually relieved that she was able to synchronize the Giga Flame spell with her body. Otherwise, she could have also been harmed by her master's magic.
Normally such a thing was impossible. But who made the master as powerful as Eiji?
"Sorry next time I won't use fire magic synchronization with you. I'll use wind, water or maybe ice?"
[The first two are fine. But the last one might be too cold.]
Judecca answered her master seriously, she didn't know Eiji was just joking.
"Is the Magic King dead?" Akio asked nervously. She was once again amazed by Eiji's power but she also seemed to be worried about something.
Eiji who heard the woman's question turned to her. For some reason, she blushed when she saw his face.
What was wrong with his face?
[Host, did you forget your appearance in that form or are you pretending? Oh I know it's the latter.]
If you know... You don't have to ask, Miss System.
Eiji replied to his beautiful system's comment before saying, "She's still alive."
Then he looked at Lilith, "By the way Lilith, is it alright if I kill your father?"
"Fweh? Um... Eiji, I..."
Lilith who was still mesmerized by Eiji's Varvatos form had a blush on her cheeks. However, if asked if she was worried about the life and death of her evil father whom she had just met...
She was honestly confused.
This might be too cold. But she didn't have much feeling for the man who suddenly appeared and introduced himself as her father.
Besides, wouldn't it be dangerous to let her father live? That man wanted to destroy the world.
He was their enemy.
However, he was her father...
Seeing his girlfriend struggling to answer. Eiji actually asked just out of curiosity. After all in the original work Lilith didn't think too much when Arata killed her father.
Although the man didn't really die and after being defeated his soul resided in his weapon.
Still, manga is manga. Lilith who is now his girlfriend is a living person and of course has some feelings even though it's the first time she met her father.
{This is another chance! I can't show off my power because I'm still too weak and Eiji is too strong. But that doesn't mean I can't help Lilith in other ways like giving her advice! Although Senpai is Lilith's father, he's evil. He also dared to look down on me. For the peace of this world, he must die!}
Excellent, Protagonist. Are you really a protaginist?
You want to kill Lilith's father just because he looked down on you.
The heroines felt Arata was getting more and more wrong. It seemed that after his consecutive defeats at the hands of Eiji. He was starting to blacken.
Without noticing Lilith's annoyed look at him, Arata was about to open his mouth and persuade the girl to kill her own father.
But Eiji didn't let him succeed.
"Well if you're having trouble choosing, Lilith. It's not impossible for me to defeat your father without killing him and make him harmless to everyone. Leave it to your boyfriend."
"Eiji... Un, I'm counting on you."
Lilith was moved and looked at Eiji with love in her eyes under Arata's sad gaze. She did not doubt Eiji's ability even though she did not know how the man would do it.
[To do that I need a little help from Akio. Her Conception spell will be very useful.]
"...?" Akio who was suddenly called confused.
But before she asked. At this moment, Abyss Trinity suddenly came out of the dark portal. As Eiji had said, he was still alive after being hit by the previous attack.
Although his condition was now injured and they could see the Magic King Element swirling around his body to heal his wounds.
His black cloak had also disappeared and his bare top had burns. His expression was a mixture of anger and humiliation. How could it not be?
It wasn't just because Eiji managed to slap him by destroying his defenses. That boy and his daughter were having fun talking to each other.
They didn't seem to take him seriously!
"I have underestimated you, Eiji." Abyss Trinity said coldly although there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Eiji.
If not for his theme blocking most of the damage to his body, he would have died.
Dead in one slash.
The power of that boy was more terrifying than a Magic King like himself.
However, Abyss Trinity thought he could still win as long as he managed to recover his full power.
"This is what I call the worst case scenario, father-in-law."
"Heh, my daughter picked a good boy to be her boyfriend before coming here. She's lucky."
"Does that mean you approve of my marriage to Lilith in the future?"
"...." Abyss Trinity.
"...." Everyone.
"Eijii!"
Lilith cried out in embarrassment when she heard Eiji's question to her father. How could he ask such a question in this situation!
Oh wait, but it was Eiji. It's actually not unusual for him to ask shameless questions.
Lilith sighed. Was there nothing they could do about the shameless nature that man had?
However, what was unexpected was her father answering Eiji's question.
"Okay. But that's only if you manage to successfully save Lilith from what will happen next."
Abyss Trinity grinned, he was about to do something but Eiji hurriedly asked because he remembered something.
"Wait a minute, father-in-law."
"What?"
Honestly why could they talk like this even though they were enemies?
Even so, none of them wondered because in the world of Trinity Seven conversations in battle were commonplace.
Especially in the original work, Eiji remembered Arata often joking with his opponents in battle.
"I just want to ask... Do you know who destroyed the town below this place?"
"...!" Akio was surprised, she didn't expect Eiji to ask what she wanted to ask.
She was actually suspicious of Lilith's father. Don't tell me that guy is...
At this moment, Eiji's inner voice was also heard.
[This is what has been making Akio uneasy, right? Although I already know who destroyed that woman's hometown but at this point it's better to let her hear it from the person who did it directly.]
[After that I don't mind helping Akio to beat up my father-in-law again hard as long as it doesn't kill him because I have promised Lilith.]
Abyss Trinity held his chin as if trying to remember things that happened in the past.
He could sense the killing intent from Akio which made him look at her.
Abyss Trinity was amused and said while lifting Caina, "Ah... It's not my future son-in-law who wants to know. But you're the one who actually wanted to ask that, right? Spriggan."
While Lilith blushed at what her father said, and Eiji was happy that his father-in-law admitted it.
Akio who already knew the answer from Eiji's inner voice clenched her fist. That woman's expression now made Arata a little scared.
Only Lugh was watching the drama in front of her flatly.
"It's you, right? Why did you do it? Even though in the past we Spriggan protected you in this place, you..." Akio asked with a coldness that worried Lilith.
"You guessed it right. It was indeed me who did it. As for the reason... I was bored and interested in testing the Magic King Weapon in this world."
"Just because of that?"
"Yes, what else? Blowing up an entire town with people in it is quite interesting."
*Boom!*
Wasn't Akio or even Eiji who attacked Abyss Trinity after he finished speaking.
It was Lilith who shot her own father with dozens of anti-tank rifles floating in the air.
Shot after shot rained down on Abyss Trinity.
"You destroyed Akio's hometown and killed her mother. I don't have a father like you, you trash!"
Lilith insulted her own father and with anger and sadness on her face.
Akio who was about to cry was stunned to see this, she didn't expect Lilith to attack her own father for her.
Of course, Abyss Trinity was able to block all of Lilith's attacks with the nothingness in his body. What exploded was the ground around him.
Hearing what his daughter said, Abyss Trinity laughed.
"Hahahaha! I'm not a good person and a bad father. I am the Magic King! My existence only exists to destroy the world and make people suffer!"
"Lilith, I don't care what you think of me. Since you've defied me so far, I'll just force you by awakening your true self!"
"You are the key to my awakening."
Right after Abyss Trinity said that, he raised one of his arms. An enormous magic circle that actually covered the entire landscape of the Sky Library appeared.
At this moment, Lilith felt the Magic King Element within her react violently. An overwhelming force exploded from her body that made Arata and Akio panic.
"Lilith!"
However, Eiji was so calm that Abyss Trinity frowned. He wondered if that boy really liked his daughter? Why didn't he look worried at all?
What he had just done was activate the key inside Lilith's body! Once that was activated, Lilith...
No, Aeshma would appear and put Lilith's consciousness to sleep. She would become a tool that only listened to her father.
Sure enough, after Lilith was devoured by the Magic King Element and was seen again in everyone's eyes.
Eiji suddenly hit Arata's neck from behind until the boy fell to the ground and fainted.
"W-What are you doing to my master?" Sora who saw what Eiji did asked nervously.
"I just knocked him out. There's no way I'm letting any man other than me see Lilith's appearance right now."
Hearing what Eiji said. They were confused but then their gazes returned to Lilith and they finally understood.
Eiji was very possessive.
Still, what about Abyss Trinity? He was also a man even though he was Lilith's father... Is he not counted?
