The battlefield shifts to Anamz where Ren was facing Maxis' army.

"So this is your best, huh."

The battle had been already settled. Countless gouges and cracks formed in the ground, as well as the collapsing demon soldiers and monsters, surrounded Ren, who was letting out a heavy sigh.

"You were a little weaker than expected."

All of them weren't breathing and didn't lift a single finger while on the other hand, Ren didn't seem to be hurt anywhere and stood nonchalantly. The battle was overwhelming. The first side that got annihilated during a short while was the monsters, then the demon soldiers followed them. Before a long time passed, everything was already settled. The monsters turned into light particles and disappeared without leaving a trace. The man annihilated an entire army without even getting a single scratch. The battle was in his favor before it even begun.

No way… What's going on here…

There was a single demon among the entire army who was still breathing. Maxis, who is one of the four great generals, burying himself under the corpses of his subordinates and hiding. His mind couldn't follow what had happened in this short period of time.

Not yet… I'm not done yet…

"Good work, Ren."

Maxis kept observing Ren while hiding and noticed the girl who was hiding all this time, Mana, and rushed towards him.

"They were weak to a disappointing level."
"Well, that's just because I was the one who dealt with them."

Ren replied to Mana with his normal attitude without any pride, and Mana returned him a smile back. A breeze blew in their direction and took off their hoods.

"Ah."
"Oh."

Mana's face was about to get exposed, but Ren extended his hand to her and pulled back her hood before that happened.

"Don't drop your guard just because this battle is done. Keep hiding your face. We never know who might be watching us."
"Jeez, I know."

Getting warned by Ren, Mana pulled her hood with both of her hands while looking displeased. Ren is supposed to be long dead for Lurian and his classmates. At first, he was intending to go back to the kingdom, but now he had made a new goal. Until he achieves that goal, he can't let them know about his existence.

"I'm done returning the favor, so let's go before someone else comes here after noticing what happened."
"Yeah, you're right."

Agreeing to his suggestion, Ren and Mana turned their back to the fallen demon army and took their leave. However, before they were able to get away, Maxis who couldn't forgive them took out something from his chest pocket.

I won't let him go back alive…

With his body all worn out and his breath in disorder, the item he took with his trembling hand was a bottle containing a pitch black liquid.

I was intending to use it in while fighting Tenjouin, but it can't be helped now…

He hesitated a little bit at first, but he soon drank it in one go. The next moment he became quiet before his body started to gradually shiver.

"UOOOOOOOOO!!!"

He then let out a loud war cry.

"W-What was that?!"
"This guy…"

Ren and Mana turned around, their eyes widened in surprise after witnessing Maxis standing up. His eyes were completely white and his body became twice, no, thrice as large. Kicking away the corpses of his subordinates, Maxis approached them while howling. Mana and Ren kept gazing at him with the same bewildered expression until this time, Mana acted strangely.

"Ah… Ah…!!"

She held her eye with her hand while looking in pain and letting out short groans.

"Mana!"

Ren immediately moved his hands to her back and supported her from falling. The other eye that wasn't covered had a small magic circle on its iris that rapidly switched colors from blue to red. It looked as if the magic circle in her eye went out of control.

"T-This is, bad!"

She tried to warn Ren, but her voice was too weak. On the other side, Maxis was still howling and yelling the grudge that took over his sense.

"It's all his fault… Tenjouiiiiiiiinnn!!"

He shouted the name of the person who made him like this. If that person didn't exist, nothing of this would have happened. It was the name of the person he abhorred the most. The liquid he drank was a potion that makes him cross over the limits of his powers. He would no longer feel pain and his abilities exceeded the standards. However, as a side effect, he would lose his sense and would be unable to control himself. That potion was Maxis's greatest trump card. Ren wasn't concentrating on Maxis anymore and kept on desperately calling Mana's name.

"Mana! Get a hold of yourself! Mana!!"
"Ren, more importantly, you should, do something about him…"

Mana replied to his frantic calls while pointing at Maxis. The magic circle in her eye increased the speed in which it switched from red to blue until it eventually stopped at the blue color.

"Ah, Ah… I can't… anymore…"

The issue in the magic circle in her eye reached the summit as she did her best to stop it and spoke with a faint voice. At that moment, a magic circle appeared under Maxis's feet.

"UOOOOOOOOO―――――!!"

Maxis who was still howling like a beast faded away when the magic circle under him was activated then disappeared completely. He vanished from his place along with the circle under his feet. The next moment, the color of the circle in Mana's eye returned to its natural blue color and she laughed weakly as she lost all her strength.

"Mana, are you okay?"
"Y-Yes. Somehow…"

She answered Ren with a sweat running down from her forehead and looked at him with an apologetic face.
