The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)
chapter-206-2

Most keepers were incapable of speech.

So it wasn’t surprising that they had communication issues.

“But still, what kind of follower is ignorant of their god’s weaknesses? Maybe you’re lacking in education.” (Anos)

When I said that, Gazel sneered fearlessly.

“You’re the one who’s lacking in faith, you insolent scoundrel!” (Gazel)

Another magic circle rose over the Pledge Jewel on the floor.

The moment my Magic Eyes caught sight of the incredible magic power coming from it, the Pledge Jewel ring vanished.

Actually, it wasn’t just the ring.

Gazel also vanished from my field of vision.

“Where are you even looking, heretic?” (Gazel)

When I turned around, Gazel was standing there with the ring on his finger.

Light was emanating from his entire body.

“Oh?” (Anos)

I held up my hand and cast my <Magic Black Thunder Emperor Jirasd> spell.

However, my jet-black lightning bolt slipped through his body.

He had moved behind me faster than my spell could hit him.

“You’ve gotten so fast I can hardly recognize you. How are you doing this?” (Anos)

“I cast the possession summon spell. By having a god descend into my body, I made their order my own. My every action becomes the work of gods.” (Gazel)

Was this one of the summoning methods Ahid mentioned?

Nutra Do Hiana had already perished.

But it appeared that there was no limit to the number of gods that could be summoned.

Which meant that it was possible to form a pact with gods other than the Selection Gods as well.

“Judging by your speed, you’ve acquired the order of light, haven’t you?” (Anos)

Gazel smiled boldly.

“Lo and behold! My Selection God rules over the order of light: it’s the God of Brilliance, Giosselia! The great light that shines over this world!” (Gazel)

Gazel raised his broken sword over his head.

Then, a magic circle appeared on it.

Magic power gathered into it, and the broken sword changed shape and turned into a spear.

It reminded me of a dragon’s sharp fangs.

“And this was the Divine Tool Summon spell. By summoning a god to descend into this weapon, the blade gains the magic power of that god. This is the divine artifact of the holy knight Gazel Apt Ageila: the Divine Spear Behetenos, imbued with the God of Piercing Beheus’ order of piercing!” (Gazel)

Gazel’s body glowed as he held up his spear.

The next moment, he turned into light and disappeared.

“Here’s a lesson for you, foolish heretical demon from above ignorant of god. This is how we fight in the Underground World. The eyes of a fool like you without any god can’t even catch so much as a glimpse of the Saint that I am. My body that houses the God of Brilliance Giosselia is light itself, and nothing in the world is faster than light.” (Gazel)

I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him.

He literally turned into light and circled around me.

“Without a god, you don’t stand a chance! Now is the time for your salvation!” (Gazel)

Light flashed from all directions around me at once.

The Divine Spear Behetenos was thrust forward at the speed of light, and aimed at my face.

When I lightly turned my head, the tip of the spear passed by my cheek.

“Wha…?! You… dodged it…?” (Gazel)

“How long are you going to keep looking down on me? Hurry up and bring your a-game. Or is that all you can do?” (Anos)

“Th… That had to be a fluke…! The spear of god can’t be dodged…!” (Gazel)

The spear of light twinkled.

More than a thousand thrusts were delivered in a second, but I had coated my body with <Four Worlds Wall Beno Ievun>, and repelled them all.

“It can’t be…! That’s impossible!!” (Gazel)

Gazel’s feet froze in shock.

“This time, it’s my turn.” (Anos)

I walked right up to him and thrust my hand at him.

“Whoa…!” (Gazel)

At that moment, he turned into light again and avoided my hand.

“To think you can actually defend against my spear… It appears that you’re not a candidate for nothing. But I won’t stop my feet anymore.” (Gazel)

Gazel turned into light and circled around me, shining brighter than before.

“This is the miracle of the God of Brilliance Giosselia! No one in existence can catch up with the speed of god!” (Gazel)

“Hmm. There you are.” (Anos)

I used the <All Creation Hand Ygg Neas> spell to firmly grasp the light with my hands.

“Wha…?! This can’t…!” (Gazel)

“See? I caught you.” (Anos)

I lifted Gazel’s body as high as I could, and slammed him on the floor as hard as I could.

The floor shattered with a loud crash, and the guy coughed up blood.

“GAHAAH…! …This… can’t… be…!” he uttered in disbelief.

“Did you think you could escape me by running at the speed of light?” (Anos)

The Divine Spear Behenetos fell off his hands and rolled across the floor.

Gazel grabbed my hand and tried to shake it loose, but couldn’t move it even one bit.

“Gah…! Im… possible… How could someone… without a god… catch me, a Saint?” (Gazel)

“If the God of Brilliance grants you the speed of light, then all I have to do is move faster than that to catch you.” (Anos)

I coated my hand in both the <All Creation Hand Ygg Neas> and the <Source Kill Spirit Death Rain Vega Vebzud> spells, then ran it through his chest and gouged out his source.

“GAH…! HAAH…!” (Gazel)

“Let’s see if destroying this God of Brilliance of yours during the trial really won’t affect his order.” (Anos)

“You godless fool! You think you can destroy a god?! As if you could commit a sacrilege of this level! A god isn’t like a keeper! A mortal like you can never hope to destroy Giosselia, the God of Brilliance and symbol of holiness itself, without another god…!” (Gazel)

With my mauve Magic Eyes, I gazed at the god lurking inside him.

As I squeezed his source, the enormous magic power Gazel was clad in vanished.

“…What… in… the…? The power of my god… disappeared…? My… deity… is fading away…? No… Stop…! STOP IT…! STOP IT RIGHT NOW, YOU HERETIC!!” (Gazel)

I squashed the source of his god.

His magic power instantly vanished.

“…Ah… Ah… My deity… The proof of my holiness… Aaahh… Aaahh…!” (Gazel)

I grabbed the Divine Spear Behenetos lying on the floor and crushed it with my hand, killing the God of Piercing Beheus.

“He’s gone… My deity… My god… This can’t be…” (Gazel)

“O holy knight crawling on the ground. Here’s my lesson to you now.” (Anos)

I looked down at Gazel, who was hanging his head with a lifeless look in his eyes.

“This is how the Demon King of the surface fights without relying on any god.” (Anos)
