Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 173 Vlame is still watching, so let me show off a little.

"Volamei..."

"Thirteen layers of [Demon-Severing Barrier], just how worried are you...?"

Although Agushid did not dislike his wife's overly cautious behavior,
However, he was still helpless against Vlamed's excessively strong worries.

"Anyway, His Majesty the Demon King already knew about the 'Demon-Slaying Bath' we created in this era—"

"So he will definitely be on guard."

"Given the current situation, too much protection would be superfluous, Vlame."

The most powerful demon, immersed in the hot spring permeated with Vlame's magic, moved forward a few steps.
He gazed intently at his wife and whispered something like that.

Then he received Vlamena's distressed sigh.

"Agusid, your future self is indeed too confident..."

"I still remember you as a very cautious person."

"Is this also due to my influence? Or is it simply because your power is getting stronger?"

Agushid did not hide anything about Vlame's situation.

He only thought about it for a moment before he got the answer.

"There are some of each..."

The most powerful demon spoke these words, gazing tenderly at his busy red-haired wife.

"After all, I myself am not interested in fighting or exploration in this era."

"But in the future..."

Agushid didn't finish his sentence, but the answer was obvious.

Vlamé sighed softly again, through a thin layer of mist.

She could certainly guess what Agushid hadn't said.

—In the future, after her death,
Whether it's helping humanity resist the Demon King's all-out offensive for her sake, or searching for a way to be resurrected from one ancient divine ruin after another.

Agushid must have experienced countless battles during this time.

And without a doubt—

Of course he won't lose.

Given that neither the Demon King nor the teacher would actively seek out Agushid, Agushid's battle record is predictable.

He must have been invincible for a thousand years before he slowly developed this kind of confidence.

Although it lived up to its name, it was the source of all her worries.

"Aguxid——"

Recalling the terrifying power of the Demon King he had witnessed in his memory, Vlame raised his head.

"Even if you are confident of victory, you cannot underestimate your opponent. After all, he is the Demon King."

"Do I seem like someone who likes to hold back and doesn't go all out?"

Agushid's question made Vlame lift his forehead.

How dare you ask that...?

Idiot, why do you think I would tell you not to underestimate your opponent and hold back?

I've never seen you use your full strength when facing an opponent weaker than yourself.

"Volamei..."

"—His Majesty the Demon King is different from the people we have encountered before."

As if seeing through his wife's thoughts, the most powerful demon spoke to her in advance.

"If my opponent were a Celia or Kraft from this era, I might hold back..."

"Because they don't care about me from the future, they certainly won't use any extreme methods."

"But His Majesty the Demon King... that psychologically twisted old codger is different—"

"He really will do everything in his power to witness my limits."

The usually composed Agushid's eyes flashed with an unusual sharpness.
He said in a tone that surprised even Vlamé:

"So it is as he wished, and as you thought."

"I will use all my strength to completely crush him—"

"Let him witness here what he wants to see..."

"The pinnacle of [Slashing Magic]!"

Vlamé paused for a moment.

Then he lowered his head, then raised it again, a barely suppressed smile on his lips.

"How cringeworthy, like he's deliberately trying to show off in front of me."

The first human archmage, barely suppressing a smile, retorted to the most powerful demon, "Agusid, you in the future actually have thoughts like 'showing off'?"

"Even if you find out, don't expose me."

"Disrupting the serious atmosphere before the war will worsen my condition—"

Regarding the relaxed feeling that his wife inherited from the white-haired elf,
Agushid had no objection, he simply shook his head slightly.

"Fu—"

Because he felt there was still plenty of time before the noon battle, the most powerful demon, who intended to continue chatting with his wife, had just spoken when...
The conversation had to be interrupted by a powerful and intense magical reaction emanating from dozens of kilometers away, soaring straight into the sky.

Vlamé certainly felt it too.

For her, who maintains a wide-ranging magical perception at all times and in all places—

Although the magical reaction was beyond her perception range.

But she still sensed the ominous fluctuations.

"what is that?"

"It's as if immense magical power is being forcibly accumulated, and is about to be released—"

Vlame looked at Agushid with some confusion.

"Didn't you and the Demon King agree on a specific time?"

"Is he planning a unilateral, preemptive attack?"

It looks like...

Indeed it is.

Agushid wasn't too surprised; this was clearly within his expectations.

"Ah……"

"Perhaps he felt that disrupting our conversation was more likely to upset me, thus prompting him to go all out—"

He guessed right.

I am indeed a little unhappy now.

The thought flashed through Agushid's mind.

Knowing that the Demon King was about to attack, he remained calm and composed, without panicking.

"Alright, Vlame..."

"Thirteen floors is enough. I need to finish this battle quickly."

Without pausing, Agushid walked out of the steaming hot spring while talking.

He casually draped the large, black coat over his shoulders and tied the belt around his waist in a loose knot.

"Don't worry, it won't take more than ten minutes."

Because constructing a total of thirteen layers of the [Demon-Slaying Barrier] from beginning to end took quite a considerable amount of time.
So after Agushid finished saying those words, and after Vlame had completely completed the work...
The dim light of dawn had long since vanished.

Bright sunlight gradually appeared in the high sky.

And under the projection of this bright light, the most powerful demon turned to his wife and said:
"I will win."

-

"Have you already noticed?"

"No other moves... Is this an attempt not to stop me ahead of time?"

"Just wait and see, I'll gather my strength for the first strike—"

"It really reminds me of those simulated training battles I fought with you in the Demon King's castle."

"Then, Agusid..."

"Let me see for myself the power that supports this confidence."

The outstretched palm before the cliff gathered together the diverse magical powers from various great demon races.
At the same time, this magical energy supports the spell for [Magic Nullification].

After ensuring that they could break through all the barriers erected by Agushid using the "Bath of Demon Slayers" in one strike,

The Demon King gently pushed the "black hole" in his palm, which was already tens of meters high, forward.

Then--

The moment the Demon King imbued it with kinetic energy, the "black hole" shot out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
With an unstoppable momentum and pressure, it shattered all obstacles in the corridor in an instant.
The "black hole" slowly appeared before Agushid's eyes, who had just left the hut ten kilometers away.

"Really, does it have to be in such a hurry?"

"But since it has already happened..."

The most powerful demon raised his eyes and opened his arms without any hesitation.

"So, while Vlame is still watching intently—"

"Just let me show off a little."
