***

I stood up in a cloud of dust. The impact of our fall had sent blue spore-like things flying around us. Visibility was poor.

First things first: I wasn’t hurt. Gotta hand it to the Magic Armor Version One, it was one sturdy piece of tech. There was a little crack in it, but it was still totally functional.

“Phew…”

Alec made it out in one piece as well, but at least he wasn’t totally unscathed. His armor was broken and one of his legs was bent at an unnatural angle.

That was all. I guess his battle aura protected him. He stood up on one leg, looking at me. He showed no sign of being in pain. What a beast.

“…You came after me alone,” he muttered. “You’ve got guts.”

I looked up. I could see the Earth Dragons crawling around in the darkness, but there was no sign of anyone coming down. Surely Atofe at least would be down soon. I mean, she could fly…

“My grandma’s old-fashioned. I fell, and you followed. She won’t let anyone come after us.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“She’s always had a thing for single combat between the demon king and the champion.”

Okay, I knew a bit about that. Atofe was chaotic, but she did have some weird hang-ups. I mean, she didn’t attack her own personal guard when she fought, for one thing.

“This is a stroke of luck for me.”

“…What is?”

“I’m injured. If Eris Greyrat or Ruijerd Superdia…or Dad or Grandma had come after me, I’d have been finished.”

“Because it’s me, you’re not?”

“I don’t see myself losing to you.”

He was confident.

Alec was badly hurt. He’d lost an arm and a leg. I was wearing the Magic Armor. After a long fight, I’d used a lot of magic, but because I’d been focusing on supporting the others, I didn’t have any injuries to speak of. I was in peak condition.

“Don’t you think you’re underestimating me?”

“No, I don’t. You don’t have any battle aura, your reactions are slow, and you’re wide open to attack. You didn’t even notice when I gave sleeping drugs to North Emperor Dohga, let yourself be led by your enemies, and got thrown into the ravine. You don’t have enough resolve or caution. You’re a useless incompetent.”

I didn’t have any comeback for that. I was everything he said. Even with all this magic bursting out of me, I was still useless.

If Atofe hadn’t shown up a few minutes ago, I’d have been screwed.

“So, even if we fight now, I’ll win, and I can get away. If I get away, I’ve as good as won.”

“You know even if you beat me you don’t have any allies, right? The Ogre God ran, and the Sword God’s dead… Pretty sure even with me gone, you’ve got no chance of winning.”

Okay, I hadn’t confirmed that the Sword God was dead. I mean, he had to be. This was Eris we were talking about.

“No, a hero can win. Heroes are made that way. Just now, you couldn’t finish me off while we fell. I couldn’t move and could only take your attacks, and even then, you couldn’t finish me off.
