After the end of Emilia Rose's past, time returned to the present. In the arena of the battle between Ivan and Emilia, a massive magic circle appeared, bearing the symbol of the demon, as Naofumi cried out: "Ivan, watch out!"
Rindo Mutsu, accompanied by Nagi Satoshi, tried to stop the circle, but to no avail.
Queen Jessica Rose cried out, "Emilia, stop! Don't be angry, please, my child!"
Dimitri Rose tried to stop Emilia, but nothing worked; the demon within her had emerged, taking control.
Yes, the legendary demon, Lamashu, the demon of the abyss and cosmic rebellion.
Lamashu: Mistress of the Abyss and Cosmic Rebellion
In the deepest point of the ether of the world of Erthos, where the laws of nature end and absolute chaos begins, lurks Lamashu, the demon of the abyss and cosmic rebellion, one of the oldest and most terrifying destructive entities. She is not merely a passing monster, but the very embodiment of overwhelming cosmic rage, possessing a ferocity and awe that places her on equal footing with the destructive demon Lucifer.
With feet borrowed from the legendary storm monster Anzu, and a terrifying roar like the howls of demonic hellhounds, Lamacho reigns supreme over the entire realm of Erthos. When her dark power merges with the pure water magic of her vassal Emilia Rose, the harmony transforms into an all-encompassing destructive force capable of obliterating entire kingdoms and reshaping the power map of Erthos.
The reaction of the legendary winged dragon Balerion only served to underline the sheer danger of this mythical demon.
Balerion, speaking within Ivan, said: "You rascal, you must be very careful. I never imagined she would appear here."
Ivan replied: "What a destructive force! It's impossible to subdue her, for she has fused her power with her soul in this girl."
The legendary demon appeared in Emilia's body in a magnificent form, her aura surrounding the area in a terrifying way.
Lamacho: You possess a very special body, my child. I have long awaited this moment. And this boy you are fighting is no ordinary person; he possesses destructive power.
Naga Satoshi: Your Majesty, what is happening to Princess Emilia Rose?
King Dimitri: Emilia possesses a power she inherited from birth. This terrifying demonic power was sealed off by Gin Muto after the death of my eldest son, Lumière.
Rindo: Ivan is in a difficult situation, and the barrier that appeared is indestructible.
Mike Rose is grieving for his sister, and the rest of the squad are shocked by what they see.
Lamacho attacked Ivan, who was struggling to defend himself. She unleashed her first devastating attack, saying, "You're quite interesting, Scarlet-Eyed Boy. I'll show you advanced combat. Water Magic: Abyssal Black Flood: She summoned raging waves of water contaminated with the energy of the Dark Abyss, sweeping away everything in their path and dissolving anything they touched."
Ivan: Double Sword Style: Sky-Cutting Rashon.
The two attacks clashed before the eyes of everyone, who were bewildered by what was happening to Emilia.
Between the attacks, Lamachu appeared with incredible speed and began striking Ivan with magnificent and lightning-fast fighting moves, until blood began to flow from his mouth. She kicked him hard in the stomach and then in the face, sending him crashing into the barrier, causing him excruciating pain.
Ivan, with a smile, said, "This pain reminds me of my fight against you, Shura."
The spirit of the Phoenix, Shura, appeared behind Ivan.
Ivan charged towards Lamachu and the Phoenix spirit, and Lamachu did the same with her full-formed spirit, resulting in a massive clash between them. Lamachou: Advanced Water Magic Activation: Anzû's Aquatic Roar: Unleashing a sonic attack combined with immense water pressure, inspired by the howls of demonic dogs and the power of a storm monster.
Ivan: Fire Magic: Rasputin's Two-Sword Attack: The God-Slayer.
They clashed again in the arena, and everyone was utterly stunned.
Naofumi, in great anxiety: Damn it! Damn it! Ivan's body hasn't healed yet, and the princess is acting crazy! Hey! Do something!
He rushed towards the barrier but was struck by a water attack to the stomach, knocking him unconscious.
The madness intensified dramatically. Ivan was being battered and bleed, and Lamachou continued her relentless attacks. Lamacho: I'll show you the true level of power, Scarlet-Eyed Boy. Advanced Water Magic, Top Grade: Cosmic Rebellion Vortex: She unleashed a colossal cosmic water vortex combining intense water pressure and destructive cosmic energy. She pulled him into the eye of the vortex, and Ivan was defending. As he was about to attack, she launched another attack, saying:
Lamashtu's Torrential Claws:
She transformed her water magic into incredibly sharp liquid blades and claws capable of cutting through the toughest armor. Powered by Emilia's Dark Blade, she unleashed a truly terrifying force. Ivan tried to defend himself with his sword, which he held in his left hand, but to his horror, she severed an arm in an unbelievable way. Ivan's arm fell to the ground, much to everyone's astonishment. Naofumi, in a state of utter shock, cried out, "Stop!" (in a desperate scream).
Ivan was bleeding from the severed arm.
Ivan: "This pain... It seems this body can't hold on any longer. I think it's time to fake my death."
He rushed towards Lamashtu, who smiled and said, "This is my last magic. My body isn't finished yet, so let's end it." Water Magic: Wrath of the Demonic Rain:
She unleashed a torrent of heavy water droplets that struck Ivan like bullets. Ivan: The magic of the... (He didn't finish his sentence.)
Lamacho appeared before him swiftly and stabbed his left eye.
In the crucial, final moment, Ivan knew he had to strike quickly without being noticed.
Lamacho returned swiftly, charging at him again, but this time Ivan activated his Crimson Eyes. He said, "Eye of the Moon (Tsun), Advanced Level."
He dodged her attacks, then stood before her. He let her stab him in the chest with her sword while he delivered a devastating blow to her stomach, saying, "Dragon Flame Claw (Fire Seal)."
Lamacho retreated into Emilia, smiling at Ivan. She said, "If I survive, I'll see you again, Crimson-Eyed Boy."
In a tragic and heartbreaking moment, Emilia was deeply shocked by what she had done. Without realizing it, Ivan knocked her unconscious before the barrier disappeared. She collapsed, unconscious, and Nagi Satoshi caught her. While Ivan detonated his body in a massive explosion, leaving everyone in shock, they initially believed the magical barrier had caused it. Only Ivan's arm remained in the arena, blood splattered everywhere. On the border between the Troy Empire and the Kingdom of Union, Ivan emerged from the gate he had created with the magical energy stone, writhing in excruciating pain. In a horrific, bloody scene, he was regenerating his left arm, his face etched with agony.
Ivan: (in pain) Regenerating my body has cost me dearly in pain.
He then produced a stone and teleported to the God Mountain, which he had concealed, disappearing from sight.
In the Kingdom of Union, everyone was stunned to learn that Ivan, a member of the Ninth Division, had been killed by an unknown assailant. They hadn't revealed Emilia as the killer.
And so the real drama began.
