Chapter 79 Vs Giss
Liora had probably intended to send her flying, but the Demon King didn't budge at all.
The Demon King stood still, her face stomped by Liora's shoe, still wearing a full smile.
Everyone, except Geese who was desperately bombing away, was at a loss for words. The devastated trees swayed in the wind, oddly memorable.
In this strange atmosphere, the giant Helmut raised his voice angrily.
"Hmph, that lunatic! To kick the Demon King in the face! Such bravery! Just as expected from the one who defeated me."
Is that really okay, though? In a workplace where subordinates rejoice after seeing their boss's face stepped on, one might wonder if it's a terrible black company or an unexpectedly great white company.
Still smiling widely, the Demon King glanced sideways at Liora. After a few moments of silence, the Demon King's smile deepened further.
Her red eyes turned a dark, blood-red color.
"Interesting! Very well, little girl. I'll allow you the honor of telling me your name."
"I'm Liora. That guy is mine to kill. Stay out of it."
"Liora! But I've already decided to eat him."
"Then I'll kill you too."
"Kufufu... I see, I see! So, you're the brave one Helmut and Gehena were talking about. That smell! In other words, you're my one and only playmate! Very well!!"
With unexpected ease, the Demon King stepped off of Geese.
Before anyone realized it, the Demon King had moved and was now sitting on Helmut's head. Her small bottom sat directly atop his bald head.
For certain enthusiasts, this scene would be quite a reward.
Helmut, without so much as a change in expression, crossed his arms with an air of dignity. Perched atop his head, the Demon King grinned like royalty, as if sitting on a throne.
"I shall allow it! Kill each other—!"
Declared the Demon King, who then turned her eyes to the standoff between Shio and the thief.
"Mimic and thief, I forbid you from joining this fight. The mimic isn't enough, and the thief would only be a nuisance. Sit still and be bound."
"...Tch."
The thief clicked his tongue, but silently allowed Shio to restrain him.
He probably feared the possibility of the Demon King and Liora teaming up. A wise decision. However, there was one person who could not bear to see his subordinate obey someone else.
"I don't care about this, you pathetic weaklings!"
Enraged and no longer concealing it, Geese stood up.
Facing him was the young girl who embodied both light and dark, Liora, ready to kill.
Already, the once-beautiful flower bed was in ruins, the faint scent of flowers lingering in the air. But this was already a battlefield. The sweet fragrance of flowers was overwhelmed by the stench of blood.
And this was the stage where we would shine.
Indeed, the true essence of a VRMMO is "blood, flesh, and experience points."
"Liora, it's a shame about the flowers, isn't it?"
"...Yes, it is."
The flowers that Liora might have given me would surely have been beautiful.
"Liora, I bestow upon you a divine command."
"!"
"Defeat that most powerful of foes. I, the evil god Nero, affirm your murderous intent."
Liora relaxed her lips and declared:
"God has spoken. I will destroy you, here and now."
"Hah? What kind of insane god is that, you pathetic weakling!"
A boring battle has begun.
"Got it, bro."
Honestly, there's little benefit for me to contract with a spirit. Even if they grant me more skills, I'm already a complete being.
That's why I only seek spirits that are obedient.
Ones that make me money. Ones that reduce my workload. In that sense, Gujo is the perfect spirit.
He's not good in a fight, but he can use [Manifestation] in a pinch.
There's no way I'll lose.
But something feels off. The real threat isn't the girl. She's insane, strong, and yes, she's my enemy.
But there are others like her out there.
The problem is the dark spirit standing by her side, watching me.
"Gujo, if things get tough, you handle the dark spirit."
I hold my breath.
I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I haven't taken any damage in years. I can't even imagine myself losing, but... I have a bad feeling about this.
Why am I fighting?
I'm not someone who fights. I'm someone who kills. This is all so irritating.
"Just die already! Stop dodging, you weakling!"
Frustrated, I unleash my full power and detonate a [Self-Destruct Attack].
I expected her to dodge, but—Liora's arm gets blown off. A grin spreads across my face. Spit flies as I speak.
"You let your guard down, weakling!"
I rush in to grab her face, but I meet her gaze—those crazed eyes unfazed by losing an arm.

Liora, with her right arm blown off, proceeds to use [Offering: War Dance]. She tries to kick Giis in the stomach, only to have her leg blown off in the process.
The force of the explosion sends her flying backward.
Giis immediately goes on the offensive. Explore new worlds at empire
Even though Giis isn't at the level cap, his stats, especially his speed, are higher than Liora's. He closes the distance and punches her in the abdomen.
But it's not just a punch.
It's the setup for a [Self-Destruct Attack].
"Die!"
Liora's stomach is blown apart.
Coughing up blood, Liora instantly recovers using [Regeneration], then follows up with a flash of light magic, [Flash].
One of Giis's weaknesses is his inability to nullify attacks like this.
"Damn it!"
Giis clutches his eyes in pain.
His stance is so vulnerable, it's almost laughable. Taking advantage, Liora slashes at his neck with her scythe, only to be stopped by his invisible barrier once again.
[Self-Destruct Attack]
Liora is sent flying again.
However, she shows no sign of feeling any pain. As soon as she recovers with her regenerative abilities, she charges at Giis once more.
Without defending herself.
Blown back, taking damage, Liora repeatedly charges at Giis, relentlessly attacking his neck.
But every time, Giis counters with a [Self-Destruct Attack].
