BXBX NOVEL Chapter 431: The true ruler
Chapter 431: The true ruler
Only mages with the Imperium theme or the "Rule" of the Superbia archive can use it.
It was because their magic specialized in dominating and commanding.
However, in the past Miss System had given Eiji this technique as a reward.
Eiji used it to block Astral Trinity's attack even though without it he could still block it with Varvatos' magic power.
After all, such a technique would not be effective on people who have stronger magic power than the user.
Varvatos' magic power was very strong. When Eiji used it to release Stark Naked Magic, he accidentally created his own Breakdown Phenomenon due to the rules of magic in Trinity Seven.
And unlike the Monochrome World that he unleashed using Anos' magic power in the Realm of the Dead and was able to be able to eliminate Zeus with just one thought.
Varvatos' magic power created a Blood Red Moon whose rays dominated everything in the dimension. If before Eiji could destroy the dimension created by Ilia using his brute power with ease. Now he felt he could control everything in this dimension perfectly.
This is...
That's right, the feeling of omnipotence.
For example, under the red light of the moon above the sky that made the women nervous. After all, this was their first time seeing Eiji's Breakdown Phenomenon.
They vaguely felt that their bodies were not their own.
There was also a feeling like Eiji could do anything to them which strangely made Mira blush and Radix panic without having much resistance in her heart.
Only Sora and Ilia among the women were now scared. They temporarily forgot the grudges of the past and hid behind Radix while pinching her long skirt.
"..." Radix's lips twitched. Sora was understandable because she was her daughter. But Ilia, who are you? You think I'm your mother? Aren't you basically our enemy?
"Um, Um... Radix-san, I give up. There's no way I can beat you guys, especially that man." Ilia had good self-awareness to survive. She stared at Eiji with what she thought was a much scarier look than Arata turning into Astral Trinity before looking at Radix with a pleading gaze.
Radix was a legendary gremoire. She generally had no mercy on her enemies. But under the red light of Eiji's Breakdown Phenomenon, she was actually too scared to move much.
So, she just snorted and ignored Ilia.
Ilia let out a sigh of relief. Sora's mother turned out to be a pretty good woman...
"Technique? Ah... You mean the little trick you want to use to obliterate the magic in the area around you and at the same time will also rip off the clothes of these women made of magic? Making them all naked? My technique is a pure anti-magic technique. It's not the same as your pervert magic technique." Eiji said. He smiled faintly and his red eyes shone with indifference.
He did not say that he also used the same pervert technique as Astral Trinity.
Why? Well...
Hearing what he said—
What?!
Except for Sora who knew a lot about Arata's perverted magic. But even she didn't expect Astral Trinity to be as perverted as her master.
She abused her magic to strip them naked!
They all stared at the pale-skinned man with disgust. Especially Mira, she became very alert and just realized that she could already use her magic again. Without hesitation she took out her crystal ball and activated magus mode to create new clothes on her body.
Astral Trinity who saw the disgusted gazes of the women was annoyed. However, he did not deny and nodded. "Yes, my theme is the Imperium of the Superbia Archive. I can control my magic to do that. After all, I am the ruler."
"You keep saying you are the ruler. How about now? Try doing that again, your magic."
Eiji's words stimulated Astral Trinity, especially when he saw the man standing in a relaxed posture with both hands in his pants pockets.
The indifferent gaze that looked at him as if he were an ant didn't help either, making Astral Trinity feel very humiliated.
Even so.
"...."
"What? Why are you silent? Magic King? Don't tell me you forgot how to use your magic?"
Eiji mocked the guy without changing his expression. He walked step by step to him. The sound of his footsteps made the magic in the world and their bodies all tremble.
At the same time, the environment around them... No, the world was beginning to undergo changes. The buildings of the Royal Liber Academy, the ground, and the trees shone with red light.
Soon everything including the school roof they stepped on turned flat.
The sky above their heads turned dark. But not like before. Now they could see the stars.
And not only that...! Not only was the moon shining red, they also saw many unknown planets each shining with different colors lined up beside the moon.
Vaguely, all the planets seemed to be moving.
All of that was actually more or less the same scene as the universe where Demon Lord Varvatos came from.
Eiji's breakdown phenomenon this time made him look like the God of Creation.
The women and the Astral Trinity didn't know this, they were looking at the scene in horror.
At this point, Ilia was clearly losing control of her small dimension and it was expanding on a terrifying scale.
Radix glanced at the ground they were stepping on. Was it just her or did the surface look the same as the moon hanging in the sky?
A person's Breakdown phenomenon could indeed affect the world. But on a level that seemed like this universe... Radix wondered if her master could also do the same? This breakdown phenomenon was too much... And all of this was only created by one man's magic.
That person was Eiji!
"Y-You... Who the hell are you? Why can't my Magic King Element-" Before Astral Trinity could finish his words.
Eiji who was standing right in front of him said, "Kneel down."
Astral Trinity was angry, he certainly didn't want to obey what Eiji said. But his body moved on its own.
*Thud*
Astral Trinity, the Magic King of the Imperium theme knelt in front of Eiji.
"...." The women.
"No, my body...! Why am I kneeling? Stand up, stand up! Ahh! How dare you do this to me! I am a world ruler!"
Astral Trinity roared. Incredible humiliation filled his heart. Not only was his Magic King Element inexplicably unusable. Now his body was also not obeying his commands.
All of this was clearly done by the man in front of him.
Although Astral Trinity now knew Eiji was much stronger than himself, his arrogance as a Magic King made him look up and glare at the man.
However, Astral Trinity did not expect the moment he did that. A shoe stepped on his face.
Eiji stepped on Astral Trinity's face.
"...." The women fell silent. They thought Astral Trinity was pathetic.
Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that they felt sorry for him. Well maybe a little because the body the man was using was Arata's body. Ilia and Sora were actually worried that Eiji would kill the boy.
Both of them wanted to say something. But Eiji's oppression made them dare not say it.
And even though Eiji didn't step on Arata/Astral Trinity's face hard. His action was really an insult that would make a proud man like the Magic King crazy.
Look at that. Astral Trinity's body even trembled and blood gathered on his pale face.
Too bad no matter how hard he tried to move, under Eiji's unreasonable Breakdown Phenomenon, he was unable to do so.
"Shut your mouth, okay?" Eiji said. His voice was very calm without any sign of anger at all. But precisely because of that, he looked even scarier until Astral Trinity's anger was replaced by fear.
"You're lucky your body is the body of my friend, Arata. Otherwise, I would have destroyed you. Let me give you an example... For example like this."
Right when Eiji said that. A planet that was very far away but clearly visible from their position exploded.
**Boom!!!**
That's a planet we're talking about. Although its size was not specific and was somehow created under Eiji's Breakdown Phenomenon.
The explosion was so great that the women including Astral Trinity who peeked out from behind Eiji's shoes gulped.
There was a very wide gap between the black sun created by Astral Trinity's breakdown phenomenon and the planet-level explosion that occurred just because of Eiji's words.
This level difference made Astral Trinity numb.
Obviously he was the Magic King! Why is the difference between him and the man who stepped on his face so big?!
"Approximately like that. Don't call yourself a world ruler if you can't even do a fraction of what I can do."
"You asked who I was earlier, right? You don't seem to know it from the memories of my friend, Arata."
Eiji continued to say that Arata was his friend... Just like he did with Rito and Basara.
But why did Mira, Radix and Sora find it hard to believe him? Only Ilia was looking at Eiji with a twinkle in her eyes. The girl almost believed what he said.
[Host, you're also using this showing off opportunity to fool those women? By the way which friend stepped on his friend's face? You obviously enjoy stepping on the protagonist's face.]
Miss System, be quiet for a moment.
"Hey why are you so quiet?"
"...."
Astral Trinity wanted to vomit blood. He couldn't speak because Eiji had forbidden him earlier.
Even if he wanted to roar and curse Eiji, somehow he couldn't do it.
"Eiji-san... You forbade him to speak earlier." Mira said from behind.
Eiji turned to the girl and smiled although he was somewhat disappointed that she was no longer wearing his shirt. "Mira, you remind me." Then he glanced at the person whose face he had stepped on, "I forgot my words in this world will now always come true."
"This is the ability of what you guys often call the breakdown phenomenon. Mine slightly affects reality, I didn't expect the Magic King to have no resistance at all. Isn't the Magic King who has the destiny of destroying the world too weak?"
"...." The women didn't know what to say.
You said your breakdown phenomenon slightly affected reality? I see, so creating a dimension the size of the universe and blowing up a planet with a single word from you is 'slightly affected reality'.
Such arrogant and also humble words obviously only came from someone like Eiji.
If the mages and arbitrators out there saw and heard what happened here firsthand.
They would probably vomit blood.
And although the Magic King was an existence that had the destiny of destroying the world.
But as Radix said. It's true that the Astral Trinity residing inside Arata's body is a fraction of the True Magic King. So even though he wasn't as powerful as the True Magic King, he was at least on par with a Paladin like Master Biblia.
Mira was convinced that if she and the other Trinity Seven worked together. They couldn't defeat the Astral Trinity because its theme and archive were so troublesome.
However, Eiji said the man was too weak. Actually, it wasn't Astral Trinity who was too weak, right?
It was Eiji. He was just too strong! Astral Trinity was even made unable to use his Magic King Element and couldn't move his body. The Magic King or anyone else would definitely be helpless if they were in that position.
"!!!" Astral Trinity who was unable to speak let out an animal-like growl. He was angry! Very angry, but what could he do?
[This reminds me. In the original work Astral Trinity was quite strong, but he was successfully sealed by Sora just because he let his guard down after being slapped by Mira.]
Mira: Eh? I did that in the original work? I'm that strong?
Mira couldn't imagine herself slapping Astral Trinity's face. After all, she was a ranged type mage, she didn't use her hands and feet to hit her enemies.
She wasn't Akio or Levi!
But she did it in the original work? How could that be?
[Well luckily I prevented some things from happening in this plot. Otherwise Mira would have been stripped naked and humiliated by the Astral Trinity! Actually, the reason Mira was able to slap that man was because at that time both of their faces were very close.]
[Mira, who was crying from being humiliated by Astral Trinity, raised her hand unconsciously and *Slap!*. Astral Trinity's ears buzzed and Arata reacted to the slap. Is he a masochist? I'm not sure. But Sora seized the opportunity to sneak up behind Astral Trinity and used her magic to seal the man's consciousness.]
[With that Arata managed to return. Of course it wasn't without its advantages. After all, when he turned into Astral Trinity, he clearly remembered what he did. So he must have remembered when he humiliated Mira! In that situation, what man wouldn't enjoy it?]
Hearing the inner voice of Eiji who didn't know whether he was mocking Arata or envious of the boy.
Even in his inner voice, it was hard to guess what the man was really thinking of the protagonist.
But the heroines who knew Eiji well were 98% sure he was mocking the protagonist!
As for the Trinity Seven heroines? They didn't expect Arata to be that kind of person in the original work.
Putting aside the other Trinity Seven. But Mira who was now on the scene shuddered and hugged herself. She stared at the Astral Trinity with even greater disgust than before.
In her opinion, Astral Trinity or Arata, both were equally perverted and impure! They even had perverted magic to rip off women's clothes that they would likely not hesitate to use.
Mira in the original work would not object to this and would even get used to it. But after hearing Eiji's inner voice and misunderstanding that the Astral Trinity in the original work might rape her.
She was very angry!
Mira didn't know at the time that Astral Trinity was actually just trying to kiss her forcefully even though it was true that she was stripped naked. Still, what normal woman wouldn't be angry or disgusted after knowing they were about to be molested by an enemy?
At this moment, Mira wondered why the author of the original work treated her so cruelly? So it's okay as long as the protagonist Arata is happy and the heroine like herself is blinded by the protagonist's halo?
Eiji pretended not to know what was going on with Mira who was now glaring at Astral Trinity with a very cold face, he was quite satisfied with the few positive points he had just gotten from the girl.
[Host, you're sneaky as usual. Always seizing the slightest opportunity to gain the heroines' hearts.]
Silence, I didn't know my inner voice could be heard by those women.
[You didn't know? But you said it!]
Ignoring Miss System's comedic shout inside his head, Eiji removed his foot from Astral Trinity's face.
There were shoe prints on the Magic King's face, heh. His expression was undoubtedly anger and contempt. But Eiji could see the fear in his eyes.
"Astral Trinity, right? My name is Eiji Seiya. In this universe I could be called a Demon Lord from another world. Well that nickname isn't too important of course. But after I set foot in this universe..."
Astral Trinity froze. If before he still had a bit of arrogance in his heart. Now that he was staring into Eiji's blood-red eyes that were looking at him with a condescending gaze.
Astral Trinity felt himself very small and Eiji? Either it was a hallucination or it wasn't. He saw Eiji's hair turning white and growing waist-length. There was a pair of horns on top of his head and a transcendent aura that Magic Kings like himself felt inferior to.
T-This is...
From the beginning the man in front of him was not human.
He was a demon.
A Demon Lord who just from his aura alone made magic kings and gods feel their existence was small!
Currently only Astral Trinity and Arata who were secretly watching could see Eiji's true form in Varvatos mode. From the point of view of the women watching in the back, they couldn't see it because Eiji didn't allow it.
Although Demon Lord Varvatos' true form was very handsome and only added Demon Lord-like characteristics. Just staring at him made people feel extreme fear.
After all it was an existence that had defeated the Evil God who was the peak in his universe and was recognized as the Greatest Demon Lord.
Eiji didn't want those women to be so afraid of him. Isn't he too gentle? Say yes.
"There is no one who stands above me. I am the true ruler... Throughout this world and universe, I alone am the honored one."
Such arrogant words but whoever heard them now. They could not doubt it. The women even blushed.
Mira, Radix, Sora and Ilia stared at Eiji's back in a daze. The man was already very handsome, but after he said that and showed this much power, he was even more handsome until their bodies were hot!
After all, what woman wouldn't like a handsome and strong man? Even a gremoire like Radix would be very happy if she had a strong and invincible master.
Radix didn't realize the True Magic King's position in her heart had slightly shifted and was now below Eiji in terms of looks and power.
"I'll give you a chance. Return Arata or I destroy your existence. Just for information. There is nothing in this world that I can't destroy including you, Magic King."
"Oh right, you can also talk now."
After Eiji said that indifferently.
"I..." Astral Trinity who was finally able to speak again did not dare to curse and roar as he had previously planned at the man in front of him. His voice even trembled and he said, "I understand, I will return this boy's body."
"...?"
The women were dumbfounded. Even Sora couldn't help but laugh. Where was the Magic King's arrogance before? Now that man was so obedient to Eiji.
The man was very humble and was truly frightened by Eiji's threat. However, who could blame him? Eiji's power was there after all.
Astral Trinity just wanted to survive. Even if he had to become a parasite inside Arata's body!
