The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 202: Against the Four Gods
"It looks like he's spying on us. Sorry, this is all because my barrier isn't perfect enough."
"It's not your fault, Tiana." Kaizo shrugged his shoulders.
Hearing the two of them, Victoria and the girls approached at this time and asked, "Kaizo, what are you doing in a place like this?"
"Eh, no..."
(I'll die if they find out I'm eavesdropping now.)
As Kaizo racked her brains for an excuse, Tiana suddenly spoke up, "Fufuu, it's a pity that we got caught, Kaizo♪" Tiana hugged Kaizo's arm tightly.
"Hey, Tiana!?"
"W-what are you doing!?"
"W-what does this mean, Kaizo!?"
"What are you doing with Tiana!?"
"Fufuu, perverted thing, of course♪" With a triumphant expression, Tiana smiled.
The three young ladies glared at Kaizo with tears in their eyes.
(Huh, can we really beat «Four Dewa» like this?) Kaizo sighed deeply in his mind.

After the little commotion this morning. «Tim Salamander» finishes light breakfast and departs. The matter of spying on the demon witch in the fortress was already mentioned during the meal.
"Sefira Blum, yes. Although somewhat concerning, we should focus our attention on the fight against «Four Dewa» instead. If it's just spying, the other team does it too."
('Keep aside for now and don't worry too much', that's what Victoria wants to say.)
Kaizo has expressed his agreement, but there are other issues.
(Is that really a simple spy?)
Walking painstakingly on the soft ground as they walked, Kaizo propped up his chin with his hands as he immersed himself in deep thought.
For some reason, there was an unpleasant premonition. The mention of «Queen Darkness» kept ringing in his mind, causing great uneasiness.
Although he had no impression of having heard of such a thing before, for some unknown reason, his heart was extremely agitated.
"Kaizo, you're walking too fast."
"Ah, sorry about that."
Stuck in his mind, Kaizo forgets to set his pace to accommodate Nyx. Holding his hand, Nyx followed behind Kaizo all this time. Seeing as he walked, he looked extremely adorable.
"I'm so jealous of Nyx."
"Why, why does Kaizo love Nyx so much."
"Really, Kaizo has ascended the throne of the Demon King by Day."
Kaizo could feel the cold and sharp gaze of the young ladies walking with him.
"Kaizo, giving Nyx special treatment is too unfair. No wait, this is a battlefield! Holding such a hand, you can't react immediately if there's a surprise attack!"
"Well, though it might be true."
Not intending to let go of Kaizo's hand, Nyx clasped him even tighter. Apparently, he had no intention of taking the form of a sword.
"I can't stand it, what the fuck!" Victoria pouted unhappily.
"We've been waiting for you, Kirigaya Kaizo!" A girl's voice sounded in the quiet forest.
"Form!" On Victoria's orders, the entire team entered the defensive formation.
Kaizo immediately performed a release spell. As Nyx's figure disappeared into particles of light in the air, a dazzling silvery-white sword, «Rune Nyx», appeared in Kaizo's hands in the next moment.
At the end of a wide road that runs through the forest. There were four girls who wore colorful oriental formal attire.
"Be careful. They are «Four Dewa»." Victoria prepared the Whip of Fire as she spoke.
They are beautiful in everything. Due to the fact that most spirits prefer beautiful girls, having beauty can be considered as an elementalist requirement.
However, the four people standing in front of them exuded an aura of exotic foreign attraction that was completely different from the top grade young lady in the Academy.
Their form-fitting formal attire emphasized their pliable bodies and each was embroidered with a design that represented their respective divine beasts.
"Seriously, Kaizo, where exactly are you looking?"
"Eh?"
"Your gaze is completely focused on those girls' thighs!" Victoria threw her icy gaze at Kaizo.
"D-damn it, you're really shameless!"
"Really, you can't be trusted, Kaizo!"
"Say, do you really like dresses like that, Kaizo?"
"No, it's not that." Kaizo frantically shook his head.
Ignoring the antics of Kaizo and his group, the girls of «Four Dewa» approach.
"It's nice to meet you for the first time, I'm Miao from «Azure Dragon»."
"I'm Hakua from «Black Tortoise»."
Their black hair was bunned, the two girls bowed together towards Kaizo and his group. They look very similar, they are most likely brothers.
"Fufuu, I'm Mion from «Vermilion Bird»."
"Ling of «White Tiger». Please treat me well."
The last one to introduce herself was the energetic white-haired beauty. His blue eyes showed a savage gaze similar to that of a savage beast.
(He is the strongest Spirit Contractor among «Four Dewa»!)
Although his stature was short, his entire body emitted a terrifying battle aura. Clearly this was not an opponent he could defeat by hiding his true strength.
(But, I really want to avoid others witnessing the sword skills I used during the Rei Assar era.)
Kaizo looked at Victoria and the girls behind her. If he were to focus entirely on sword style, he might use his past sword style naturally.
Making a majestic appearance was a girl in ritual attire. Since she is quite short, she has been blocked from view by «Four Dewa» until now.
"I am the third princess of the Bonia Kingdom, Xuan Sin Luina!" The girl walked forward and announced herself with her chest puffed up in pride.
(Is the girl the commander of «Four Dewa»?)
It was clear from his ritual attire that he was not a Spirit Contractor fighting on the front lines. Most likely, he was someone who displayed ritual prayers like Tiana.
(By the way about that.) Kaizo stared intently at the petite body of imperial princess Xuan.
(His age should be older than Karmila Freya, right?) This is what Kaizo originally thought.
The youngest participant this time was undoubtedly Karmila Freya. But no matter how one looked, this child felt younger than him.
"Umm, may I ask you a question?"
"Speak, king of animal lust!"
"How old are you right now?"
"Hmm?" Instantly, Xuan replied with a wary expression, "A-are you trying to make this princess one of your conquests!?"
"No, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in winning the kids' hearts." Kaizo shrugged and waved his hand.
"I-I'm not a kid, I'm sixteen!"
"Eh? Are you kidding me? I can't believe we're the same age!"
"Of course it's true! You-you, you're impudent!" Xuan angrily pointed his finger at Kaizo by shouting in tears, "Damn you, Kirigaya Kaizo! Be-truly unforgivable! «Four faithful Dewa», this inhuman king of animal passions must be immediately drawn and dismembered!"
Answering Xuan's orders, the girls from «Four Dewa» call their respective «Elemental Aero».
"Why do you think I made him angry?"
"Stupid, who asked you to ask a girl for age! Look, we're gonna start!"
Kaizo holds «Demon Slayer» with both hands and jumps forward. Then the fight between «Tim Salamander» and «Four Dewa» begins.
