I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 36

Honestly, whether I’m a demon-slaying mage or not doesn’t matter to me.

If I have superpowers, then that’s a good thing.

To build a paradise of love in the land of Ortenos from now on, having the power to eliminate external enemies is never a problem.

The only thing that concerns me is whether there exists a being with magical power greater than mine.

To be honest, I don’t want anything to do with that kind of person, but until we figure that out, we shouldn’t make any flashy moves.

“Ha!”

“…I thought a hero would put up a bit more of a fight, but is this all there is?”

Maybe because the image of the battle with Barbato is still fresh in my mind, I feel a bit let down.

I feel a strange unease at how easily I was attacked, but even a Stella-class starship would die if you pierced its heart.

“……Hehehe…… It’s impressive that you broke my puppet magic, you damn noble. ……But that’s all…… You’re powerless against the true power of justice……!”

Aquila, despite the bl00d flowing from his mouth, did not lose the fighting spirit in his eyes.

Are you planning to do something else?

I immediately pull the pipe out of Aquila’s chest and swing it back to behead him.

“We, the ‘Twelve Brave Warriors,’ have summoned a true leader and gained new strength! Let us show you, this is the true power of a hero!”

Aquila’s body is enveloped in a powerful light.

In the next moment, an immense amount of magical power bursts forth from Aquila’s body, and a shockwave strike.

It feels similar to my magic power leaking, but it’s a bit out of control.

Could it be a self-destruct?

To brace for the impact, I take a step back, then another.

“Hahaha, this is the power of justice that crushes the tyranny of the nobility!”

When the light settled, there stood Aquila, his body swollen several times in volume with muscles, veins of magical energy coursing through him.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he clearly seemed to have lost his normal ability to think.

The “door” near the lower abdomen shone brilliantly, and around it were engraved strange patterns resembling two arms.

(The magical power is swelling up, what on earth is going on?)

It seems like even the heart I crushed earlier is healing, and it’s just not normal.

“Damn noble Shalka, I’ll show you hell!”

Aquila closed the distance in an instant.

I am amazed by the incredible physical abilities.

Even more surprisingly, Aquila’s right arm had somehow transformed into a sword.

“What the hell is that right arm?”

“Dieeee! You damn noble!”

The sword that Aquila swung down with his right arm was thick and heavy.

I was blasted away along with the pipe, and then the pursuit came.

“You nobles, who are always in a position of oppression like you, have no idea how much the people are suffering! Do you understand the feeling of having all the wheat you painstakingly cultivated on barren land, risking your life, taken away from you by the likes of you?!”

“……”

Heavy slashes imbued with emotion are being unleashed in every word.

It was clearly surpassing the power of a normal Stella-class star.

“You scorn things like stardust, don’t you? You don’t care about the lives of the people at all, do you? You only see the people as tools to produce money, don’t you? Just pigs fattening your own pockets!”

“……Yeah.”

“Hahaha! I understand now, that nobles are unnecessary in this world! The ones who should truly be in charge are the heroes, not the nobles! A world unified under the leadership of our leader is the way it should be!”

The voice sounded as if they had just taken the head of Aquila’s demon.

I was listening to the hero’s words while continuously deflecting the sword.

I tried to listen patiently, but the answer hasn’t changed.

“……As I thought, you guys, the ‘Hero Alliance,’ are pests.”

I say what I think straightforwardly.

“What the heck?!”

“We do indeed collect taxes from the people, but that is also for their benefit. The reason they can live without fear of external enemies is precisely because the nobility governs.”

“That’s sophistry! Nobles are nothing but fools who only indulge in luxury!”

Aquila, with his already reddened and tense face, shouted even louder, turning even redder.

“You heroes who are foolishly stirring up the rule of the nobles are the true fools. You don’t even realize that this is ruining the standing of future heroes.”

“Shut up! That would be resolved if you nobles just disappeared!”

Having been born a noble and having decided to live as a noble, I have now reached a point where I can no longer deny that way of life.

Even if it’s words from someone like Aquila, it’s not that I don’t have any intention of listening, but in that case, the hero is a nuisance.

“It’s a stalemate. Well, I’m generous, so after your Hero Alliance is destroyed, I’ll think about the people as much as you want. So you can die here without worry.”

“W-What nonsense are you talking about! It’s you nobles who will be the ones to perish!”

As expected, it seems that heroes are destined to destroy each other.

I begin to gather enough magical power to bury him.

“You talked about justice and whatnot, but you have a fatal lack of vision. You probably haven’t even thought about what comes after you destroy the nobility.”
“Shut uuuup!”

Of course, I have it all sorted out.

The grand vision of building a paradise of love, dripping with sweetness, with my yet-to-be-seen, lovely bride.

“I’ll show you. That kind of counterfeit power is powerless in the face of pure violence.”

“It’s not a fake! This leader’s power is the sword of judgment that punishes the nobility!”

Even the sword of Aquila began to concentrate immense magical power.

“Die! Hero’s One Strike Brave Blow!”

A mass of magical power with enough force to slay a single Star Stella-class being is unleashed.

But I’m lacking in strength.

“Meteor”

I unleash a thick, powerful beam from my right hand.

I don’t know what Aquila’s power is, but the best solution here is to brute force it with super magic.

The massive beam instantly engulfed the hero Aquila’s strike.

“Fool! The power of justice bestowed upon me by our leader will not be defeated!”

The beam, with all its force, struck Aquila directly, and her body began to evaporate.

“Grrrrr! Damn noble Shalkaaa! Even if you defeat me, the alliance will send assassins after you and corner you. In the near future, you will definitely regret defying our leader…”

“Quite resilient, aren’t you?”

I pour even more magic power into Meteor Ray.

Aquila saw an overwhelming mass of light that covered his entire body.

(What a serene and untainted magical power… It’s on a different level from the arrogant nobles, a clear sign of diligent training… To call this violence would be too inorganic and beautiful…)

With that thought, Aquila was engulfed by the torrent of light and vanished.
