Hazen＝Heim
Hazen＝Heim. A magician of the calibre whose name will undoubtedly come up when one mentions the greatest Magician in history. He’s an extremely remarkable person who can control the Magic of both Light and Dark Element at the highest level.
“He sure is a genius”
Asch honestly acknowledged Lloyd’s talent. He killed Hazen＝Heim and captured that soul of his. It looks like he has modified the physical body to its prime; he’s young and brimming with strength.
When it comes to confronting Hazen, Asch has done nothing but run around for more than 100 years. His body may be immortal, but something like that is of little use in front of him. Imprisoning him for a thousand years while keeping him alive is a walk in the park for him.
“Asch……it’s been a while huh”
Hazen speaks to Asch expressionlessly.
“As I thought……you turned into a doll huh. Sensei”
A technique similar to Mira’s has been performed. It’s just that, the only difference being the method of forging the soul. Asch forged Mira’s soul from scratch, but Lloyd forged it with Hazen’s soul as the base.
“That former disciple sure is the worst. Well, not as much as you though”
“……thank you for your compliment”
Despite joking around with each other like that, they’re both measuring their distance. Hazen, like Mira, can’t go against his creator’s bidding. Regardless of how he feels, he already has no choice but to attack Asch with his all.
＜＜Oh Darkness Oh Darkness Oh Darkness, Depart, From The Sheol, Invite, The Grim Reaper＞＞
Asch chants and a black magic circle appeared from the ground, and the Demon Diablo appeared. He’s high ranking even amongst the Demons Asch can summon, and one can say that they form the best combination.
On the other hand, Hazen.
＜＜Oh White Formation, From Heaven, Descend, The Emissary Of Light＞＞
“……Liplareuran”
Asch’s face tenses up with all his strength.
Dominions(Warrior Angel) Liplareuran. It is said that Hazen is the only one that had and will ever be able to summon it. He had buried several tens of thousands of Magicians along with that Warrior Angel. A powerful Angel that’s several levels above Diablo that Asch summoned it is.
“……Diablo, I’m counting on you”
In any case, he says that to him and starts meticulously creating the next magic circle. There’s a reason he summoned this Demon. Asch, he’s bad with close combat at any rate. Hence, the compatibility isn’t good unless it’s a Demon that’s good at physical combat. If it comes down to that, rather than a higher ranking ranged Demon, he decides on Diablo, that’s easier to use.
The Demon flies at high speed at Asch’s voice and seizes Liplareuran. The claw that was swung down was blocked by the shield, but its consecutive attacks don’t allow the Warrior Angel to retaliate.
A battle between a Demon and an Angel is, as sublime as can be. He’ll be at a disadvantage if he moves away. Because he knows that, Diablo doesn’t leave any distance. It’s slight, but the Demon was creating an advantageous development.
However, the time he gets suppressed by the Warrior Angel will eventually come. Asch had understood that. He’ll annihilate Hazen with an enormous Dark Magic in one go. That, was his thinking.
＜＜Oh Pitch Black, Oh Endless Darkness, Oh Souls Of The Abyss, Assemble And Display The Despair Of Death＞＞ーーPurgatory Of The Sheol(Zeno・Berserk)
What was released from Asch’s seal was a gigantic darkness. The shadow very quickly covers Hazen entirely, engulfing him.
I won……he thought.
＜＜Oh Light And Dark, Oh Holy And Evil, Without Endless Night, Without Eternal Day, Display The Path Forward To Me＞＞ーーPure Protection(Od・Talisman)
Until he heard Hazen＝Heim’s chant that is.
Holy Dark Magic. Through fusing two opposing elements into one, Hazen’s New Magic(Original) creates an impenetrable field. No longer, does any Dark Magic nor Light Magic have any power before Hazen. The Dark Magic Asch released with all his might was rendered ineffective in an instant as well.
“I am relieved that you did not change”
He puts up a strong front and laughs, but his knees are rattling inside his heart. He’s too strong. Asch had a strand of hope with the wishful thinking that he’s weakened through the fact that he became a doll, but at the Hazen, who’s overly strong as he always is, the Dark Magician instead found it mysterious and wondered how he had managed to escape until now.
Hazen is already in a space where he’s able to render all Holy Dark magic ineffective and attack Asch all he wants. Toy with him all he wants. Do all he wants.
“Now then, Asch. Let’s began the time for punishment, shall we”
How many times has he heard this phrase back when he used to be his disciple.
“Uoooooooooooooooooo!”
At the powerful Magic that’s released one after another, all Asch could do was run away.
