Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

After leaving those words, Soma solemnly nodded toward the girls, who responded with strong resolve in their eyes. Holding the unease within his heart, Soma jumped off toward Gura, whose body was buried under the rubble of a building he had crushed.

Soma stopped in mid-air, looking down at the demon figure calmly chewing the legs of an awakener who had come to apprehend him, but to no avail. All of them were wiped out except the brave woman, who had shown her hostile side toward Soma earlier.

Soma covers a considerable distance with a single step and faces Gura Head-on. In the face of the demon, Soma had no need to hold back, even if it had to destroy some buildings around them.

A single jab, which was hard to follow with eyes, was blocked by Gura, who raised her hand up to cover her jaw. However, the impact still affected her; her body was blown away a few meters back with gritted teeth.

"Hmm, I'm impressed by how fast your growth is, I!?".

Gura, who started rambling nonsense, was ignored by Soma, who launched himself to finish her. Her brows knitted, and they began engaging in high-speed, close-quarter combat.

A flurry of wild wind and crimson flash clashed, creating a massive turbulence that blew away everything in its surroundings. Each blow that connected sent terrifying electricity that could char a normal human to a crisp.

Gura's fist was coated by a blazing blue flame that was hotter than usual because of the wind's help. This is one of Gura's abilities: Hee could consume and absorb the essence of every substance, whether living things, objects or even an abstract thing like an element.

For living things, she could use the skill or abilities of the person she consumes, albeit temporarily. Object-like artifacts are among the rarest things she does because of the awful taste it has, based on her judgement. It can last permanently or temporarily.

Lastly, this would last permanently for elements and temporarily boost her stats based on the element she consumed. For example, she currently has a wind element and absorbs it through her pores using her Devouring skills.

The effect temporarily boosted her agility stats and wind magic activation to a fraction of a millisecond.

This is one of the seven Demon Lord subordinates, Gura. Despite having monstrous physical abilities. Her sense of hunger, which could drive her mad, also became her strongest weapon to face her enemy.

However, almighty as it seemed, the unique skill Devourer couldn't eat her lethal element, which is Light and also the God's element, which Soma was using now Lightning.

Soma also didn't think Martial Saint's advice at that time would be handy for this moment.

Soma launched his uppercut, which blew away Gura's jaw, rendering her unconscious for a second. The moment when he tried to launch another attack on her abdomen, his instinct skill flared up, and Soma leapt back beneath him; a whirlwind burst forth, pushing away anything on its path and shredding everything inside.

Hundreds of magic circles appeared within a fraction of a second, all of them pointed at Soma. With a wave from her hand, hundreds of wind blades, wind arrows and wind lance bombarded him.

Without a shred of fear, Soma put more strength in his feet and launched himself up toward the blazing sky. Its Light mesmerized everyone who saw it, but within that beauty, a massive pillar of Lightning emerged from the hands of a single boy.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

[Extra Skill Adapt activated]

[Lightning Magic 7 activated]

Soma focuses all of his being on creating the magic. The crimson pillar shrank not because it failed but because it compressed to be stronger and more solid and packed destruction within.

Gura couldn't help herself for never seeing a magic that was so terrifying yet unknown to her, who lived for more than centuries.

"That is bad!".

She began to conjure a tremendous amount of mana, and not stopping there, her body kept sucking mana from the atmosphere, making her tank practically unlimited.

With a clap, a huge magic circle appeared in front of Gura—not just one, but two. Those were red and green magic circles, which described two elements being used: fire and Wind, two elements that were highly compatible with each other.

The magic circle moved before merging into one. The circle turned bright white, and searing heat from a white flame that burned even the atmosphere a hundred meters from her place shook the space around her.

"Combustion Magic - Undying flame".

Gura pointed her left hand upward toward Soma; her fingers pointed in a shooting gesture. Her other hand drew back like pulling a string of a bow; the white flame stretched forward, forming a lance with sharp tips.

"Go!".

She released the lance, and it shot upward like a missile. Its white color gave off the image of pristine and holy, but not with the firepower it had.

Soma still hung above, still focusing on his spell. He kept pouring his Soul power into the spell, and only one thing filled his mind: ' To end this long debt he had with his revenge!'.

The crimson pillar in his hand had shrunken to a considerable size; now, it had transformed into a spear. His hand never stopped trembling, describing its tremendous power. Soma succeeded in what he had started and felt pleasant with the results.

Slowly, as he opened his eyes, a white lance launched upward toward him with speed, jolting his body in fright. Soma inhaled, deployed and retracted his hand backwards, tensing all the muscles around his body.

"...Original Magic - Raiden!".

With a slight jerk followed by a 'boom' sound, the crimson spear bolted swiftly in mach speed. Crimson and Silver, two spectacles, spells from the two strongest figures in the place, close the distance instantly before making contact.

Within a moment, the world was. Still, the sound disappeared, time halted, and all colour faded, changing into a bleak grey colour with no sign of life. All of the concepts that shape the world are compressed into two spells.

The collision gave birth to a small sun emerging in the middle of the city. Its Light, brighter than anything they had ever seen, blinded their eyes; its heat was so terrifying that it scorched the civilization, turning the city into the Sahara desert.

It lasts a dozen seconds before disappearing, returning to how it was supposed to be.

After the sun disappeared, a huge crater appeared on the road, and metal used as infrastructure melted, forming a scene of catastrophe.

Soma and Gura, the two responsible, keep gazing toward each other, wary about the other's power.

'Even after all this, we are still tied, tch, it's vexing!'. Soma knitted his brows while he put on his fighting stance.

'All that power, and yet I still couldn't kill a single boy. How far have I fallen?'. Gura cursed inside her mind, reminding herself she was once a powerhouse that could wipe out a city with a single punch. 'My power had not returned to its peak, and this is all because of that boy on that night!'.

Both parties prepared their stance and glared at each other, eyes filled with fury. It was the calm before the storm, and then, in a blink, both parties engaged again in close combat and didn't notice that all that was happening had spread worldwide.

*****

Let's get to the other side of the fight, Xiao Lian desperately dodging a black substance like mud that came to her ferociously, wanting to devour her.

"Wind blade!".

From above, Serafina hurls Luxuria with multiple Wind blades that halt her movement for a second, giving Xiao Lian time to escape and Hina, who comes from behind, aggressively to attack.

"Haaa".

Her green blade, now shining in blazing colour or orange, swung downward, but Luxuria leapt to the side. After the fight starts between them, she unleashes her Original Magic immediately, purely on instinct. She realized that the enemy in front of her was not something they could defeat with a half-assed effort.

Xiao Lian also, with bated breath, pushed forward her transparent shield, intended to block her enemy's vision before launching her attack.

Luxuria, who was barely keeping up with the girl's coordinated attack, was late to dodge the last time as Xiao Lian's tip of a spear pierced her left shoulder.

"How dare you brats! I will crush you all!".

Furious, Luxuria released her Aura; it was murkier than mud, and a black substance began to emerge more beneath her shadow figure, and it flooded the area around. Metal that touched it melted and disappeared, getting devoured.

"I will drown you with this…!?".

As soon as she said that, a sun brighter than in the sky emerged not far away from them, its sheer presence and power bringing them a moment of awe.

Not long after that, a painful heat permeated throughout the land, banishing all of the white substance that came from Luxuria.

The overwhelming power it shows only lasted a few seconds before returning to normal. Silence descended, prompting the girls to exchange an understanding gaze.

"Kyaaaa, my skin is burning!".

A howl from Luxuria brought their attention to the source, making their eyes open wide. Hina, who was nearby, instructed Xiao Lian to get Luxuria's attention.

"Get away, you annoying Ice!".

From behind, Hina, with her presence concealed, swung her blade diagonally from her right and black blood spurted into the air.
