Editing Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 3 Chapter 3 (section)

=== Part 8 ===

"Splendid…"

Upon witnessing the power of Wilbert running wildly inside Mio, Zolgear exclaimed. A deep red wave extended around her, making the atmosphere rumble intensely.

And then––––the waves produced a gravity storm and focused on a single point, seeming to swallow everything within its grasp. With a shrill sound, the bright red waves Mio produced was dispersed.

At the same time, vast magic circles appeared along the walls, the floor and the ceiling.

"––––––all appeared according to my calculations"

Zolgear who succeeded in completely confining Mio's power, said so and laughed in a grand manner.

––––––For the power gravity magic of Wilbert that sleeps inside Mio,

Zolgear performed elaborate preparations to obtain it. Collected information are poured into his mansion.

Zest examined the numerical values in Mio’s battle against Lars in the park the other day, prepared the magic field, and finished the adjustments.

The switch to make Mio’s power run wild was also predicted to this extent, too. The important thing is to make her experience a similar scene when her parents are killed like in the video footage, and that should do it.

The video footage some time ago could be replayed, and if anything, a human being and a devil will do as a sacrifice. If it works and the power runs wild again, awakening its full power will be in no time.

––––The only difficult part is, deploying the anti-magic field consumes a large amount of magic power. This time Zolgear’s magic power was used, but it is as what you expect of the power of the strongest demon king. Though Zolgear was confident in his amount of magic power, it has made to consume most of his just by having suppressed it once.

…However.

Zolgear suddenly smiled.

This time, he can use the absorbed magic power that was suppressed from the current rampage to the device for the next one. It only has to repeat the rampage and absorption afterward.

"The goal to obtain the power of Wilbert was within my sight…"

Zolgear examined over again. After the rampage, Naruse Mio’s stood still with hollow eyes.

Probably it was impossible for her to retain consciousness after releasing all that magical power inside her body.

However––––in spite of such state, Mio was beautiful.

But then,

"Well then––––shall I show you much more?"

Thoroughly satisfying her beauty, Zolgear stretched out his right hand to tear apart Mio’s clothes.

"Nn––––…?"

''But the hand disappeared.''

"––––––Guaaaaa! My hand, my hand! –––"

As he pulled back his right hand while grimacing in pain, his right arm was already gone up to his shoulder.

––––and then, Zolgear finally noticed.

At Mio, who is standing still––––the surrounding atmosphere was shaking.

"…This is… no way!"

Zolgear, who unleased the power of Wilbert inside Mio, understood why it was alive while being in the center of the gravity storm. As if he cannot believe what is happening, he cried:

"Was the gravity waves that didn't let through created a space distortion? Did it create a barrier of high temperature in the surroundings……!?" '''(!<!-- Note: Unsure of this sentence! please check it for me 「じゅ、重力波すら通さない空間断層を生み出していたというのか……周囲に超々高温の障壁を展開して……―――っ！？」 Page 259-->)'''

Probably, this is the original power of Naruse Mio.

Sleeping in the shadow of Wilbert, was Mio's true nature that cannot be warped by any existence.

And then, the moment he thought so, Zolgear held his breath in shock. The cause–––Naruse Mio, turned her hollow eyes onto him.

The time has come.

Despite of the powerful force running wildly around her whole body, Naruse Mio was calm and composed.

"–––––"

Naruse Mio, while staring at the man in front of her eyes, longed for this day to come.

––––One day, her parents were suddenly killed. She was told that she was not a human but a demon. She kept on convincing herself that it was a lie, but the truth was thrust to her–––almost crushing her to despair and uneasiness, but still, she was able to make it somehow. To avenge the enemy who murdered her adoptive parents––––this man in front of her eyes, was her earnest desire. 

She was confident her wish will finally be fulfilled at last. 

If it's her present self–––obliterating the enemy in front of her would be no effort at all. Therefore,

"Sto-Stop it……"

Seeing her enemy frightened, she raised her hands in a quick motion.

''No problem. I can erase him completely without a trace. Because I––––I have lived for this sake. I will defeat the enemy of my parents right now.'' 

Thus, intending to eradicate everything, Mio created waves to erase him whole.

"I cannot allow this, Mio."

This time––––––a soft voice was heard, completely restraining her actions.
