As they were talking—the Mobile Fortress Destroyer finally appeared on the horizon.

The sight of the colossal machine filled the adventurers with dread.

After all—it was a legendary weapon of destruction that had once razed an entire city, and no one had ever been able to stop it.

Even Megumin—standing beside Roy, couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be afraid, Megumin. It's just a machine," Roy said, gently patting her head to comfort her.

"I-I-I... I'll use Explosion to... to... blow it up!" Megumin stammered, her voice trembling.

They were standing on the town walls, while Aqua and Wiz were on the other side.

"Hey, Roy! Is everything alright over there?" Aqua shouted.

Roy glanced at Megumin—who was still shaking like a leaf, and sighed.

"Everything's fine! Don't worry!" he shouted back, then turned to Megumin with a smile. "If you're not feeling up to it, you don't have to force yourself. Just stay behind me. Remember, I've also learned Explosion magic."

He stepped forward, his expression calm as he faced the approaching Destroyer.

Megumin, seeing him standing protectively in front of her, felt her fear subside. She stared at him with wide eyes.

As the Destroyer drew closer, Aqua finally began casting her spell.

She raised her flower-shaped staff and shouted, "<Sacred Break Spell>!"

Five golden magic circles appeared in the sky—and five beams of light converged into a single massive beam that struck the Destroyer.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!

The reason the Destroyer had been unstoppable for so many years was its magic barrier.

The barrier prevented anyone from damaging its core.

But under Aqua's powerful attack, the barrier shattered.

"Now's our chance—Megumin! Let's do this together!" Wiz exclaimed, turning to Megumin, only to find her clinging to Roy's back.

She was stunned.

"It's fine. I can use Explosion too," Roy said with a chuckle.

But then—

"No!!!" Megumin suddenly stepped forward.

"I will never back down from a fight—not even against the Demon King! Watch this—This is the true power of Explosion!" she declared, her chuunibyou spirit reignited.

Roy smiled. Megumin had overcome her fear.

They both began chanting the incantation for Explosion.

"Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee, grant me the crimson light! The time of awakening has come. The absurd and contradictory laws of the world shall be twisted and distorted — Explosion!"

As they finished the incantation, two massive red magic circles appeared in the sky, dyeing it crimson.

Two powerful beams of light shot towards the Destroyer.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!

The Destroyer, unable to dodge in time, was struck head-on.

When the smoke cleared, the machine had stopped moving. It had been destroyed by the two Explosions.

The adventurers cheered.

Megumin—collapsed into Roy's arms, her face etched with frustration. "As expected of a Lich... She's much stronger than me... I'm not giving up..."

"Megumin, you were amazing. You're still young. It's understandable that you're not as strong as Wiz—who has been practicing magic for who knows how long. But I believe you'll surpass her one day," Roy said encouragingly.

He was telling the truth.

Wiz was a renowned Arch Wizard, while Megumin was still a novice adventurer. It was only natural for her to be weaker.

Megumin blushed, flustered by his praise.

Just then, the adventurers started panicking again.

The seemingly deactivated Destroyer's lights flickered ominously.

[Warning! Warning! The main body has sustained critical damage. Self-destruct sequence activated. All personnel, please evacuate immediately—] a mechanical voice announced from the Destroyer.

"..."

The adventurers, hearing this—fled in terror.

But then, Darkness suddenly started running towards the Destroyer.

Roy quickly grabbed her.

"Darkness, calm down. I'll handle this," he said.

"Roy-sama, do you have a plan? If not, we should run!" Luna exclaimed, rushing over to them.

She was worried about Roy.

Roy was touched by her concern. Even in this dangerous situation, she had come to check on him instead of running away.

"Luna, After this is over—become my servant," he said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, don't jinx it!" Megumin protested.

She thought Roy was just speaking metaphorically, like a chuunibyou.

Luna, however—was stunned.

But Roy didn't give her a chance to ask any questions...

....

"Let's go. It's time to finish this," Roy declared, jumping off the wall with Megumin in his arms.

Darkness and Luna followed him.

Aqua, who had been about to run away, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed them as well.

They soon reached the Destroyer.

"Roy, do you really have a plan? If not, let's just run!" Aqua pleaded, looking at the massive machine with fear.

"Stay here. Don't follow me." Roy said.

He walked towards the Destroyer, stopping a short distance away from it.

He then drew his sword and casually swung it at the machine.

"What is Roy doing? He can't reach the Destroyer from that distance!" Aqua exclaimed in disbelief.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a massive wave of energy erupted from Roy's sword, slicing through the Destroyer like a hot knife through butter.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

After a moment, the Destroyer slowly toppled over.

[Warning! Self-destruct sequence initiated. Countdown: 3... 2...]

The mechanical voice suddenly stopped.

Luna, Aqua, and the others were stunned.

Then, cheers erupted.

"We did it! We defeated it!" Luna exclaimed, looking at Roy with admiration.

She couldn't believe he had defeated the Destroyer so easily.

The Destroyer was powered by a "Coronatite," a magical core that provided it with near-infinite energy.

But Roy's attack had shattered the Coronatite and destroyed the Destroyer's energy reserves.

The crisis was averted.

This Destroyer was a powerful weapon. If it were in the world of Akame ga Kill!, no one would be able to destroy it—not even Esdeath.

The adventurers who had fled earlier also returned, seeing that the danger was gone.

"Roy-sama defeated the Destroyer!"

"Everyone, it's safe now!"

"Roy-sama is amazing!"

"Thank you, Roy-sama, for saving us!"...

The adventurers expressed their gratitude to Roy.

That night, Roy, Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, Chris, and Luna celebrated their victory at the Adventurer's Guild.

Chris—who had mysteriously disappeared when the Destroyer arrived and only reappeared after it was defeated, was also present.

....

After the celebration, they returned to the mansion to rest.

But Roy then went to the Adventurer's Guild alone.

"Eh? Roy-sama, you haven't left yet?" Luna asked in surprise, seeing him. She was also about to go home.

"Heh, Luna, do you remember what I said earlier today?"

"Huh?" Luna thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "About making me your servant?"

"That's right. Are you hesitant?" Roy asked with a smile.

"No, I agree! But..." Luna was overjoyed, but she didn't quite understand what being his servant entailed.

Would she become his family? Or something else?

She didn't consider the possibility of Roy being a Devil.

"Since you agree—accept my power," Roy said, offering her an Evil Piece.

"This is...?" Luna looked at the chess piece with confusion.

"Don't ask. Just accept it."

"Alright!" Luna agreed after a moment of hesitation.

She took the Evil Piece, and it instantly merged with her body.

A magic circle appeared beneath her feet, lifting her into the air.

A bright light enveloped her.

Roy smirked. It seemed Luna had successfully become a Devil.

The light faded.

A pair of black Devil wings sprouted from her back, flapping gently and keeping her afloat.

Luna opened her eyes.

She looked at her hands, then at her wings, and finally understood what had happened.

She had become a Devil.

But she didn't regret it. Her original dream had been to become a powerful adventurer, but her lack of talent had forced her to give up on that dream.

And now, she had finally obtained power.

She was overjoyed, especially since her appearance hadn't changed much. In fact, she looked even more beautiful now.

"Thank you, Roy-sama!" Luna exclaimed, retracting her wings and kneeling respectfully.

"Don't mention it. From now on—you belong to me. Understand?" Roy said, helping her up.

"Yes, everything I have belongs to Roy-sama," Luna replied with a nod, then leaned closer to him and whispered seductively, "So, Roy-sama, would you like to come to my place tonight?"

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

"Sure," he replied with a smirk.

"Then please follow me, Roy-sama."

Luna smiled and led him away.

It seemed tonight would be another sleepless night as he worked on "conquering" this mature beauty.
