Normally, Vega would have understood the danger of the labyrinth at a glance.
But Vega was on a roll.
He felt invincible because he had discovered a new use of his power and thought he had the labyrinth to himself.
And since he was here in the space he controlled, Vega had a vague idea of the power of Zegion's presence.
The comparison was about four to one. Vega's presence had grown to a little less than four times that of Zegion's.
That's why we were sure that we could win.
"Zegion?
Vega spat out, but it was impossible for him not to know.
Dino had explained it to him so much that he had to keep repeating it.
Vega was just not listening because he had no interest in it.
Vega does not perceive Zegion as a threat and asks condescendingly.
When did you invade my domain?"
If we didn't notice the intrusion, we should have been more vigilant.
But Vega was indifferent.
Vega is surprised that he did not feel anything until now, but he thinks it does not matter much.
What matters is the ability to fight, and hiding and hiding is not enough to beat the enemy.
This was a lesson Vega had learned from real "experience," having lived his life on the run and in hiding.
Zegion replies without concern.
"It's easy. I was there from the beginning, that's all.
"...I see, I see. That's a blind spot." Vega was convinced.
No wonder he felt no sign of intrusion and could find no trace of the roots Vega had spread all over the labyrinthine ground.
Once we knew the reason, we were not afraid.
"He's a fool. If you had stayed hidden until the end, I would have missed you.
Vega chuckles.
The small fry, who had been hiding too late, must have realized that they were trapped. He must have jumped out in his haste, Vega thought.
He has not even heard the other party's line more than half of the time. He did not even care about the meaning of the words "Mist Lord," nor did he feel the weight of Zegion's words.
"You're a lucky man, you know that? But it's only the difference between early and late, and you'll be honored to die as my food.
Vega then created four 'Evil Dragon Spawn' and ordered them to eliminate Zegion.
Each one is stronger than the one that fought Hinata and the others. Their existence values exceeded 4 million, and they had accumulated much combat experience.
The problem is that they cannot produce many of them due to the scarcity of materials, but they still have plenty of time to spare since they can use the energy they obtained by eating the labyrinth inexhaustibly.
In Vega's sense, Zegion and 'Evil Dragon Spawn' were equal. It would be difficult to defeat Zegion with only one spawn, but with four spawns, he thinks he has enough time to defeat Zegion.
But the next moment.
Four 'Evil Dragon Spawn' attacked their prey at once, and in a flash of light, they were cut into small pieces and disappeared.
It was so fast that even Vega could not tell what had happened.
What? Did you beat my 'Evil Dragon Spawn' so easily? What kind of trick did you use?"
While Vega worked to control the labyrinth, majin, who calls himself Zegion, did not attack at all. This is because he is afraid of Vega.
Vega remains disrespectful to Zegion because he thinks that if he wanted to interfere, he could have done it earlier.
What matters to Vega is not the truth in front of him. What mattered to Vega was how he thought and felt. Because of this false thinking and perception, Vega does not see the threat of Zegion...
But that is not important to Zegion.
The reason why Zegion did not attack in the first place is that Ramiris waited until the Isolation of this hierarchy.
Otherwise, they would not have missed Vega's action.
Since this is not the 80th level, Zegion is not in charge of it. However, it is an emergency now, and other Guardians are on their way. As long as Zegion is entrusted with the responsibility of looking after his friends, he is responsible for them.
The labyrinth is a place that we must protect. Zegion will not allow anyone to defile the labyrinth.
It would have been impossible for them to allow such a filth like Vega to do what they want.
Yes.
Zegion was angry, though it was rare.
Unaware of this, Vega poured more fuel on the fire.
"Heh heh, don't get carried away just because you beat a little fish. This labyrinth belongs to me now.
"..."
I know. Demon Lord Rimuru has some famous minions, doesn't he? The Mist Lord? I know you're trying to say you're one of them, but to me, everyone's the same."
After hearing that, Zegion clenched his fists.
"Well, the one we have to watch out for is the woman we fought the other day. Well, I let that one go, so if I run into her again, I'll eat her myself..."
Vega says this without hesitation, which Testarossa could not help but be outraged if he heard it.
Then he continued.
"And Benimaru, right? I think there are others, but I don't care. Whoever they are, they're small fry to me!
He said proudly.
It was as if Vega had signed the petition for execution with his own hand.
Vega is convinced of his overwhelming superiority and does not doubt it.
But, however.
It does not take him long to realize that he is mistaken.
"Nonsense. If you have an enemy in front of you, you can judge his strength by looking at him."
"Ah?"
If we only focus on the enemy, we won't need any other information.
You're just a fish hiding in the wind of cowardice.
"Well, you'll have to see for yourself."
Hearing Zegion's reply, Vega snorted in amusement. Then, slowly raising his coercion, he took a stance.
"All right, I'll show you. I'm going to end this boring battle and let the world know how great I am.
Vega said this in a superior manner.
Zegion responded in a very matter-of-fact manner.
"You are right in that you don't enjoy fighting.
He answered, and then composed himself.
Vega added a few more words as if he pitied Zegion.
"You are pitiful, aren't you? You still think you won't die, don't you? But you're mistaken. I'm in control of this labyrinth now!" It was Vega who was pitiful.
In the labyrinth where Ramiris had Isolation, he was barking like the 'Naked King' without understanding what was going on.
"I mean it! You thought you could come back to life even if you died, so you can challenge me, who is far superior to you. You're a bugger, Bublé !
Vega said as much as he could.
Vega tried to tell Zegion in his wits that he could fight without worrying about the difference in strength because he had the assurance that he could revive even if he lost, but he was unable to accomplish his goal.
By simply informing Zegion that he had taken away the labyrinth's immortality, the enemy would be shaken and self-destruct. It was supposed to be so, but Zegion moved before Vega could finish his speech.
Vega's story was too long.
It was an unbelievable folly on Zegion's part to continue talking even after his opponent had taken a position on the battlefield.
Besides, Zegion's patience had already reached its limit.
Death to those who defile the labyrinth ! -was Zegion's command from Rimuru, and the meaning of his life.
Although he understood and agreed to the "plan to have Ramiris take away a part of the labyrinth" as explained by Benimaru and approved by Ramiris, he was not at ease with the situation.
Defiling the labyrinth was an act tantamount to being scandalized by Zegion.
Once Ramiris was ready and the Isolation of the hierarchy was completed, there was no need to be patient at all. Still, he was considerate enough to have agreed to Vega's story.
At any rate, Zegion unleashed his anger and blocked Vega's words.
With a light jab, Vega is blown away.
"You, you !
Vega stared at Zegion, holding his bleeding nose.
(Wait, wait, wait ! I ate the labyrinth and I'm immortal... but I'm not dead...) Finally, Vega realizes it.
Whether he is immortal or not is not important, but his real strength has not changed.
He thinks that the supply of Energy has become inexhaustible, but it does not mean that his instantaneous firepower has increased.
Existence value is not equal to combat capability. If resources are allocated to the parts that are practically irrelevant to the combat, it is not that helpful. It would be more realistic to judge by the amount of magicule, and in that sense, even if Vega's existence value was four times less than Zegion's, it was not a basis for winning the battle.
Zegion silently chased after Vega.
Vega's vision went dark without understanding what had happened.
It was Zegion's kick.
When he had closed the gap between the two, his foot raised high to the sky showed the true nature of the attack.
Slowly lowering his foot, keeping Vega in sight, Zegion tells us
"That's tough. Next time I'll go a little harder, OK?" With that, Zegion disappears.
It was Zegion's 'God Speed Maneuver,' far beyond Vega's perception. No matter how much 'Magic Perception' he used to 'grasp space', and no matter how much he used 'Thought Acceleration ', Vega cannot capture Zegion's movement.
Zegion's movement was not only fast, but also a mixture of reality, illusion, and falsity.
...
...
...
Through actual combat experience in the labyrinth, combat methods were evolving day by day. Zegion, the strongest warrior in the labyrinth, was the pioneer.
Since Zegion and Apito are connected by soul, it was possible to reproduce their powers to some extent. Zegion is a fearfully evolved creature.
Zegion was diligent.
He researched and studied every possible ability.
With the Ultimate Skill 'World of Illusion' of 'Illusion King Mephisto', Zegion was testing all his abilities. He especially emphasized 'Spacetime Manipulation', and even improved his own interpretation of "Veldora Style Killing Arts™".
...
... ...
It was a near-impossible task for anyone to spot Zegion's moves at the first sight.
Vega could not have done it.
Vega, however, survived by making a quick decision.
In particular, the ultimate enchantment 'Multiple Weapons' obtained by eating Oria worked well.
Vega, in majin form, is protected by a mythical-grade armor. It would be impossible for an ordinary majin to break it. It would have been extremely difficult even for a Demon Lord Seed.
What would happen if Vega concentrated only on defending himself, regardless of his appearance?
Vega's whole body shone suspiciously and showed its maximum strength. In addition to this, an almond-shaped kite-shield appeared three times in front of Vega with his hands outstretched in front of him.
But, but...!
Vega was so exaggeratedly defensive, but Zegion's attack here was a mere punch.
The power of the punch was immeasurable, since Vega's arm was armed with a hihiirokane. It shattered two of Vega's three kite shields and cracked the last one.
But still, it was just a punch.
This fact was enough to change Vega's perception.
( He's a monster! Damn, I thought I had underestimated Demon Lord
Rimuru a little bit, that there are still such bastards left...) Vega regrets that he underestimated Zegion.
Not just a little, but completely, but Vega's self-esteem is such as it is. Lack of reflection is a bad habit, but positive thinking is one of Vega's few virtues.
