Ryuji felt the danger instantly. His eyes dilated as Ruby's figure vanished, her body like a cheetah rushing towards him with long, swift strides, her flaming claws burning the atmosphere. Yet he couldn't focus only on her! Lapis lunged forward, her figure like a boar stabbing towards his throat with the sharp, icy tip.
His body moved before he could think; leaning his neck to the left, a burst of icy wind shot passed his cheek, slicing it open with a freezing bite. Then he watched Lapis change her grip, thrusting the blade again so fast that Ryuji barely dodged, rolling his head to the right, a loud hiss cutting past the nape of his neck, leaving a shallow, bleeding cut.
Yet Ryuji's problems didn't end.
Ruby closed the gap, swiping her paw with a thunderous roar, flames flushing out with explosive force that rattled the floor as she aimed at his body. The force of her attack pushed his body off the ground and caused a dull ache in his abdomen before she put both hands together and formed a gigantic ball of flames.
'Shit! These women are insane!'
Ryuji watched their movements with every fibre of his soul, tearing the black axe from his throat, knowing that they were aiming to kill him so he wouldn't hold back, his axe smashing into the iced staff of Lapis.
He reached out with his left palm and used his demon lord abilities to devour the mana in Ruby's fireball as fast as possible to minimise damage while jumping back to use the explosive force to gain some range to think.
BOOOOOOM!
A shockwave gushed outwards, the air heated as Lapis swung her icy staff and Ruby stepped onto Ryuji's shadow, tearing his shadow figure apart with her flaming claws, lunging upwards from the smoke and darkness with her flaming claws and attempting a deadly stab at his heart.
'I knew it!'
With his eyes shimmering with blue runes, Ryuji watched her movements in the darkness, his hand pulling back his axe ready to strike her abdomen, the blood from his cheek and neck stinging as he devoured the residual ice magic inside the wounds. Yet Ruby did something Ryuji hadn't expected.

Her body flashed with a surge of flames, blinding the surrounding area, and her movement sped up, causing her body to blur and vanish.
"Fuck!"
He took a moment to step back, taking a deep breath, before listening to the area while focusing on how Lapis moved. They were like wolves, her icy footsteps tapping the surface calmly with no hesitation. Then Ryuji frowned.
'Fuck! Where did the fire witch go?'
There was no trace! Ruby had vanished amongst the smoke and dust, Lapis prowling his sides with slow, accurate steps.
'Calm down. Focus your mana perception.'
His skills improved with a monstrous ability, his demon lord awakening, allowing him to see the magic through solid walls. Thus, he focused only on fire-type magic. To his left, nothing! Yet to his front, Lapis shone brightly with the colour blue.
His ears listened to her, the sound of ice and a light, feminine breath, the atmosphere dampening with the scent of the sea breeze as the mist rose from her.
The right also seemed void of magic and sound, only the distant presence of Velvet that caused his body to shudder from danger. Ryuji then turned his head, leaving his glance on Lapis for a moment before she suddenly dashed towards him with her spear.
BOOOOOM!
The surroundings roared, Lapis swinging her spear upwards at Ryuji, the icy mist forming a thick cloud of icicles that aimed for his arms, face, chest and stomach.
Ryuji rolled forward and endured, the icicles piercing his arms, shoulder, and back as a fierce numbing chill spread throughout his bones and muscles, yet Lapis didn't stop, aiming a strike with her icy staff, piercing at the nape of his neck. However, she didn't expect Ryuji to counter from this distance.
He took a risk and planned for her to close the distance. While grasping his black axe, he swung upwards and smashed the incoming staff. The wind pulsated, the intense vibrations shaking Lapis's cold features and the area while the floor ruptured, and her posture lost control.
Her icy mist and shards ruined the nearby walls and decoration as Ryuji's axe slammed into her stomach with a loud crack, breaking through a layer of ice before sending her body shooting into the wall beside Velvet.
Her figure hit it with a dull thud, a piece of her icy mask cracking as the surrounding walls cracked and almost shattered, the entire mansion groaning and shaking. Ryuji grinned, yet Ruby rushed him like a hurricane.
Her figure re-surfaced, her palms clumping another fireball and throwing it at Ryuji, who watched Lapis sit unconscious against the broken wall, a light dribble of blood trickling from her nose.
"Eh!?"
Ryuji slammed the flame back at Ruby using his axe, his body sliding backwards several feet, only to look up and notice the sky covered in enormous sheets of ice... "What the..."
However, the moment he blinked, they started to vanish because of Lapis losing consciousness... The entire sky was filled with dozens of fireballs. He realised that Lapis hid Ruby while the latter could prepare for such a devastating attack.
Her face looked down on him, one of complete victory. Her figure raised its palm, the fireballs growing rapidly, and Ryuji felt Ruby pour enough mana inside this bomb to destroy even himself and Lapis! It was a dangerous flame.
'Think, Ryuji... how to defeat and win.'
Ryuji didn't want just to stop her attack but wanted to win.
His mind began to race, thinking of various spells and magic Alex showed him and his thoughts. He didn't quite understand the relationship between elements and their weaknesses. Only having a moderate understanding, thanks to the demon lord's knowledge.
"Haa...."
Ryuji stopped any thoughts. He returned his axe and cleared his mind while pushing both palms together. He wanted to imitate his most beloved characters from anime shows he watched as a young boy. Since she was preparing to rain down on him with quantity, he would overwhelm her with sheer power.
The magic power around his body gathered at an immense speed.
Ryuji allowed the blue runes to cover his irises once more, his body expanding his aura and the floor starting to steam as if standing inside an oven.
Velvet's eyes, watching Ryuji, suddenly turned golden, her eyes shaking as she grasped her chair tight, almost crushing the stone arms. "No... it can't be!"
However, oblivious to her words and the situation, Ryuji's body began to glow with a dark purple light. As if burning with the aura. He began to exhale from the sheer burden this took on his body.
In response, Ruby realised it was time to attack. She took too long mocking him as an enormous ball of pinkish-purple light appeared in his hands, causing them to shake.
The sheer force caused the air to tremble with its intense power.
'That's it... that's it... take pride in your power. It's possible to create magic in the shape of Wageta's Garlic gun using the Arcane school of magic!' Ryuji could barely contain it; his body struggled to hold the enormous ball, which grew more powerful with the intense mana contained within. 'Now!'
Ruby was stunned by his sudden pressure. Yet her pride would not accept this as she dropped over twenty fireballs at his figure. Ryuji shot one powerful beam of pure arcane energy rather than pure mana! Discover tales on NovelFire-mp _y,r.
'I should have attacked quickly...'
She panicked, realising she spent too much mana in preparation because Ryuji was acting obedient, and the two still underestimated him because he rarely showed his magic abilities.
However, she couldn't lose. Ruby bit her thumb; she began to create more fireballs, her spare hand flinging forward, directing the fireballs at Ryuji as she tried to deflect and stop his dark pink beam of light.
Yet Ryuji's beam exploded!
As Ruby could not compete with the mana. It was so massive and contained it grew fast with its arcane force. This made it consume all of Ruby's balls of fire and almost her figure, too. Ruby panicked, watching her flames being devoured with the sheer intensity and mana this beam consumed.
'I created this stupid beam. I can also change the trajectory!' Ryuji's blue rune-covered eyes looked upon the pink light and grinned. His muscles tensed as he slowly dragged the beam towards where Ruby fled.
"RRRRAAAAAGGGHHH!!!" Ruby cried, realising she underestimated him too much. To survive, she created a thin flame veil to buy some time.
Meanwhile, Ryuji's beam smashed into her flame veil with explosive force! The mansion was filled with a violent windstorm. Her veil struggled to stop Ryuji's beam until he saw Ruby running further and changing direction, realising she wouldn't submit without a fight.
Ryuji kept holding the dark-pink, arcane energy in his hands. Even though it began to tear his flesh from the force almost beyond his limit. Yet Ryuji used his demon lord powers again, devouring more mana within the beam.
Ruby ran, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment and tears at her loss. After a few metres, she realised she reached her limit. Ryuji watched her stop and spread her arms as if to take the beam.
'Shit, will she die!?'
Because, in his mind. The spell needed to be the strongest, like his childhood hero. He failed to control his increased magic attribute. Thus, cast something that would kill most people below a certain level of magic defence.
He wished for something to stop as the beam clashed with the defenceless Ruby.
Bzzt!
However, a black jolt filled the sky.
Velvet stood wrapped in black like Liana before she pushed her hand to the purple beam, her eyes golden covered in strange runes as she 'grabbed' the arcane magic and, with a black bolt of lightning, thrust it back towards Ryuji with a stern expression on her face.
The attack returned to Ryuji as he stood exhausted.
'I should have learned how to control my magic better. Nearly 100 points seem too dangerous to fling around while not knowing my limits...'
Ryuji didn't realise that he tapped into his demon lord form, meaning his magic reached 200 as the arcane beam enveloped his body.
