Corruption
20 seconds mark
Liplareuran was, being wary. That, was not towards the Demon Diablo, but the human Asch＝Dahl. Just because there were no humans foolish enough to confront the Warrior Angel in the past, it instantly decided to eliminate the person who carries an element of uncertainty.
A flash. Liplareuran’s arm easily penetrated Asch’s heart. His fresh blood gushes out and dyes the Angel’s body red. As it is, Liplareuran swung its arm down and dropped Asch onto the ground.

“Hahahahaha! What did you want to do?”
Hazen, he stares at Asch while laughing loudly. Just like he has before, he was having an exchange of Magic with Lily, but he slowly started overwhelming Lily with his experience and Magic Power, and he had gotten enough leeway to look towards the Dark Magician.
“Haa……haa……zee……zee……”
On the other hand, Lily’s Magic Power was approaching its limits. Her face turns ghastly pale, and she’s struck with intense exhaustion.
“……fufu……fu……how……pathetic……you held on for ten-odd seconds……huh”
Asch gets up in his verge-of-death state and makes a snide remark.
“Haa……haa……you too……eh, where’s your arm!?”
She realises that the Dark Magician’s arm has been torn off for the first time. That’s how much, Lily had concentrated against Hazen. No, without that much concentration, she’d probably be blown away in an instant.
“Fufu……if, you have that…….ener……gy……you can go……a little more…… huh”
Lily, she plants her about to collapse body and recollect her posture while glaring at Asch, who jokes with an almost dead expression.
“Asch, there’s no chance for you to win anymore. If you manfully admit your defeat, it’s not like I won’t spare this young girl’s life. The annoying fellow’s objective is only you”
Hazen, who had once taken in thousands of disciples as well, had noticed a glimmer of Lily’s abnormal talent. If possible, he doesn’t want to kill her. That is, his true unadulterated feelings.
“……Diablo”
When Asch muttered that, the Demon flew and landed on the right side of the Dark Magician.

Hazen witnesses that spectacle and notices something off. Why, isn’t Diablo fighting Liplareuran……why, is the Warrior Angel that’s over there, just overlooking the Demon’s flight.
“Liplareuran!”
He shouts, but the Warrior Angel just hovered in the skies completely unmovingly.
“……kuku”
Asch’s low laughter reverberates.
“You……did something?”
He can’t imagine that Asch possesses the Magic that can go as far as to be able to harm Liplareuran. However, in reality, the Angel is not moving, and the Dark Magician is making an ominous smile.
“……this is, my New Magic(Original)”
Asch, who mutters. Before he know it, his ragged breathing has settled down.
“Liplareuran! Attack Asch”
“……Liplareuran. Come over here”
A few seconds later, the Warrior Angel prioritised Asch’s order instead of Hazen’s. Liplareuran landed on Asch’s left side despite making a twisted expression.
“No way……why”
Having the Warrior Angel and the Demon on both sides, Asch showed a twisted smile.
“200 years……I always wanted to be you. Be a great Magician like you. However, no matter how far I go, I can only be myself. Hence, I pursued something different from you in my own way”
While listening to the Dark Magician’s words, Hazen was staring fixedly at Liplareuran. The Warrior Angel’s condition is……strange. Its wings are rapidly turning black before his eyes.

“Gya゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛aa゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a”
A voice that’s pretty much unlike that of an Angel. An agonising scream, without a doubt, echoed in the skies.
“Don’t tell me……”
Hazen mutters.
“That’s right. I showered the Angel Liplareuran with a large amount of my blood. During the time Lily is fighting with you, the blood that I poured Dark’s Magic Power into”
Before long, the Warrior Angel’s body turns black, and horns grow on its head. Its wings turn into wings of a Demon, and beast-like fur grows from its body.
“Corruption……”
“I am honoured that you are surprised. Hazen-sensei”
Asch bowed to Hazen exaggeratedly.
“……as I thought……you’re someone that mustn’t be in this world”
＜＜Oh Holy Beast, Oh Dark Beast, Be Equals, Destroy All Creations＞＞ーーPrinciple Collapse(Od・Catastrophe)
Hazen releases Holy Dark Magic towards Asch, but that which was once an Angel stands in the way and erases it in an instant.
“Liplareuran……”
“Thanks, Liplareuran……no, Demon Liplareuran”
While showing a twisted expression, Asch smiled satisfied-lookingly.
