The innermost part of the Purgatory Labyrinth has fallen into deafening silence and because of the attack from Beltoga, all the adventurers are losing their consciousness.

Luckily, there’s nobody badly injured and all of them just need some first-aid treatment.

In the meanwhile, I have no more usable potions in my stock and I have no choice but to wish that someone who went to confirm the cessation of the labyrinth will come with the relief.

For now.

「Don’t you try to escape~zo?」(Elfi)

「G, GyaaaaaaaHh~」(Beltoga)

While I’m giving first aid to the adventures, Beltoga is under Elfi’s surveillance.

Apparently he tried to escape, but unfortunately for him, Elfi has pierced his foot using the weapon that she borrowed from the adventurer.

「It hurts……It really hurts……」(Beltoga)

Beltoga is groaning from the pain caused by injuries all over his body along with the pain from his foot being pierced.

As expected of an Onizoku, although he is resistant to fire he managed to cheat death after being burnt to such degree.

Still, if its left unattended as it is, he will definitely die for sure.

「By the way Iori, what are you going to do with this Oni?」(Elfi)

While I look down on Beltoga, I heard the cold voice of Elfi.

Elfi has told me that this bastard had played with her subordinate’s corpse like a plaything and apparently, it seem that Beltoga is also the revenge target of Elfi.

「Hmm, let me see」(Iori)

「Wawa~wait……Please wait」(Beltoga)

Beltoga which breathed roughly had quickly kneeled down before me.

「I’ll do……A-a-anything. So……please fo-for-forgive me」(Beltoga)

While rubbing his head on the ground, Beltoga is begging with his tearful voice.

I am impressed at how fast he can adapt to this new circumstances.

Even after being burned with flames, he kept yelling「I’ll kill you」for quite a time, though.

「Hmph……Those wretched self-important mouths which spew nothing but insults right now are trying to butter up when he’s about to die, huh」(Elfi)

「S~Sowwy, I am sorry…… for making light of Amatsu-san and Elfisuzaku-san」(Beltoga)

「That makes me feel sick, don’t you dare to call out my name!」(Elfi)

As Elfi looks down on Beltoga with a repugnance look in her eyes.

If I don’t stop her, I feel that she might kill him on the spot.

Nevertheless, the reaction made by every single one of them, either Luser or Merwin is really amusing for me.

To turn like this when oneself is about to die albeit themselves are sneering and killing others. I really wanted to see this scene.

「Did you say that you will do anything?」(Iori)

「Ye-yes……! I’ll tell you anything and whatever you ask……!」(Beltoga)

「Then tell me where Dionis and Lucifina are now and what they are doing currently? If you do so, I’ll give you a potion」(Iori)

The single red portion which remains in my possession is being shown to Beltoga.

Unlike those distributed provisions, it is an expensive potions that I had prepared separately.

Moreover, it’s really effective, too.

When I showed it, Beltoga eyes light up as he easily leaked the information about the current status of those two.

Now that the Labyrinth of Hades has fallen there’s a meeting being held at the Maou castle.

Moreover, Lucifina and Dionis also seem to participate in it too.

It seems that both of them have been raised to the upper stratum in Maou army after killing me.

「Do both of them, know that I’m alive?」(Iori)

「……N-no. It is only me who heard the story from Merwin and because of that nobody else in the Maou army knows about it other than myself」(Beltoga)

That’s convenient.

It’s because I’d like to see those surprised expression of theirs when they learned that I was alive.

Unfortunately, the matter regarding Elfi break-out, it seems that its already known.

Perhaps it will cause the other labyrinths to be vigilant.

For now, there seems to be no talk about putting out the pursuing party yet. However, I guess it will be a matter of time.

「So those two are at Maou castle, huh. It’s really troublesome~na」(Iori)

After that, I’ve finished listening to all the information known by Beltoga in several minutes.

「E-e-either way, are you going to get your revenge……? I-if so, then I will cooperate with both of you! Because I couldn’t stomach those two all along, you see」(Beltoga)

Apparently, he was Dionis subordinate who seemed to have been used like a gofer by that guy.

He was telling me how he’s unable to stomach Dionis who works his ass off and those Four Heavenly Kings who do not appoint him as the Flame Demon Lord.

Therefore, he will cooperate if I was going to exact my revenge on those two.

……I’m done with him.

「……Do you want to help, Beltoga?」(Iori)

「Eh……ah! yes! Please let me do so!」(Beltoga)

「However, I came here for the sake of my revenge too, you know」(Iori)

「Hii……, Pu-pu-please forgive me……! It is meaningless to take revenge on something like me!」(Beltoga)

「……Well, you’re probably right~na. Because the revenge will not bear anything」(Iori)

「Ye-yeah! That’s right! S-so then……err……」(Beltoga)

In order to survive, Beltoga readily changes his opinion and allegiance.

Moreover, it seems that he intends to please me with his flattering.

「Yeah, let’s do that」(Iori)

「……Haa*. I will entrust the rest to you Iori」(Elfi) TN *sigh

「Okay」(Iori)

Elfi averts her gaze from Beltoga as if she can not bear to see him.

After nodding on it, I gave the potion to Beltoga.

「Thank you very much……!」(Beltoga)

As soon as I gave it, Beltoga immediately began to *GABUGABU* gulp down the potion.

As might be expected from such an expensive potions, shortly after Beltoga drank the potion his burns caused by the flames are being cured.

Currently, you could say that he was being cured to some extent from the dying state of being seriously injured.

「……!」(Iori)

「IORI !」(Elfi)

Suddenly, it became hard for me to stand as I have staggered.

I’ve turned my back against Beltoga while my knee is on the ground.

Then, Elfi ran up to me as she became anxious about it.

「Please don’t act too rashly……because humans can die easily, got it!」(Elfi)

「Yeah……I understand」(Iori)

It was when I was preoccupied with Elfi.

「HA, KUHAHA!」(Beltoga)

A strong magical power began to blow from behind me.

In retrospect, I saw Beltoga about to invoke his magic with one of his arms while he rises up one-legged.

「……What do you intend to do? Beltoga」(Iori)

「What this esteemed one intend to do, AHH*? It seems that this esteemed one decided to kill you, ya’hear」(Beltoga) TN AHH* is a stronger version exclamation of Ah

Because his wound are healed, I guess it’ll be easy for him to beat us who were in a weakened state.

For him to change his attitude that fast is really laughable.

I can hear Elfi who let out a small breath.

I wonder if it was her way to declare her intentions that “there is nothing to say anymore”.

「HAHaHaHAHA!!! This esteemed one will turn both of you into cinders TOGETHER!!」(Beltoga)

To butter up to a strong one while being harsh toward the weak.

Even for the one whom he flattered before, he will easily turn over them if their position changes.

He’s already beyond saving.

「……Though I’ve helped you with the potion?」(Iori)

「Then, so what!? Just say it in HELL!!」(Beltoga)

As Beltoga was going to release magic while shouting.

However, it’s according to my calculations.

「――Gi*!?」(Beltoga) TN Grit* SFX for the grinding or clenching of teeth, as if in pain

The next instant, Beltoga blood vessels have emerged from his entire body.

His eyes change into a dusky colour while his body has begun to convulsion little by little.

「Eh!?……ArghHhhhhhhH!?」(Beltoga)

Beltoga who no longer has the ability to exercise his magic is lying on the ground once again while writhing in agony.

It seems the pain that he is suffering all over his body right now is far beyond the pain that he felt from those burns before.

He shed tears of blood while his face is being covered by a mixture of his own saliva and nasal mucus and on top of all that he’s vomiting in pain.

「Wha………what aregh!?」(Beltoga)

「Hey, do you know the “Nail of the ogre”?」(Iori)

I pick up the empty bottle which lies on the ground and show it to Beltoga.

「AarRGhH!? Couze iz be inzite tat potion!?」(Beltoga) TN Could it be inside that potion!?

「That’s right. It was the same thing which you gave me before and I’ve just returned back that favour, you see」(Iori)

From the time when I learned that I had been poisoned, I have already decided what the suitable revenge method for this bastard is.

It is to give him a poisoned potion in the same way that he did to me.

I thought that it might not be possible to take such measures in the situation until just now. However, I’m glad that it went the way that I wanted it to.

「GuHGah!? GUGYAAaaaaAaAAAAaaaAAaaA!?」(Beltoga)

Beltoga is writhing in agony while *BIKUBIKU* twitching about on the ground.

If I remember it right, the one who drinks this poison will experiece『as if there’s a small ogre running wild inside of his body inflicting severe pain』

「Don’t you think that it is considerable irony for an (Oni)Ogre to drink the nail of the Ogre?」(Iori)

「GAH, GOEAAAAAAH」(Beltoga)

Well, I guess he can not afford to answer it.

It takes just a few minutes for the effect to come out after drinking it.

It seems that it will take time for the poison to take effect before he dies from it.

But when magic is used in the state which one had drunk it, it will speed up the poison effects.

This bastard just did as I wanted when he tried to attack me with his magic.

That is the reason why I deliberately turned my back on him.

Well, I expected it to turn like that and I showed that gap on purpose.

Those psychological things won’t be enough for him because I want this bastard to regret that he has betrayed me from the very bottom of his heart.

A pain.

Those psychological things which I gave to Merwin won’t be effective on him because this bastard won’t regret it unless I give him an overwhelming pain.

「If it’s just as it is, you will die because of that intense pain within three minutes」(Iori)

「GiiiaAaAHHHh……!! Heap mi……Healp meeeeeee」(Beltoga)

Therefore, I pulled out two bottles from the pouch.

There is a blue liquid inside it.

「It’s an antidote. If you drink this right now, you will be saved」(Iori)

「Pupulease! Please give it to me!」(Beltoga)

With an unexpected articulation tone, he implores for my mercy.

While writhing in pain, he was trying to cling onto me.

「I-I won’t defy you anymore! I ill……zoo anything! So please forgive me!」(Beltoga)

「If I give you the antidote. You will attack me again, won’t you?」(Iori)

「Ire Won’t! Ab-solutely!! Tjen……So, pupulaeze!!」(Beltoga)

Beltoga apologises many times to me while he begged for the antidote.

It’s only one more minute to go.

He probably won’t survive even if I give him the antidote, though.

However, its time for the finishing touches.

「Then, watch this carefully~」(Iori)

I show off the antidote to Beltoga.

Responding to that, he stretched out his hand while crying out words of gratitude to me as he thought that I will save him in his mind.

「Eh?」(Beltoga)

I smashed one of the antidotes right in front of his very eyes.

As the bottle breaks, the antidote flows into the ground.

The antidote run off into the gap of the rugged rocks.

「Ah, Eh?」(Beltoga)

「Albeit ” the revenge will not bear anything”」(Iori)

That’s right for certain.

Even if I annihilate every single one of those bunch who had betrayed me, It won’t change the fact that I had been betrayed.

Even if I realise my revenge, nothing will return back to how it was.

However.

「If I don’t let you pay the compensation for betraying me, then I won’t be able to move on, you see」(Iori)

I won’t be able to move on if I was bound by the past where I was betrayed and killed.

The fact that this bastard had betrayed me is engraved deeply in my heart even though they have forgotten about it while they lived comfortably their lives.

I only felt having been saved a little after those adventurers didn’t betray me.

But that is totally different from this.

「Well because of that」(Iori)

I release my hold on the other bottle.

「NuoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」(Beltoga)

As Beltoga screaming.

「――When killing you in this way, I wonder if it will make me feel refreshed?」(Iori)

The last antidote was broken and scattered at the same time when he let out his screams.

「UuuuuuWhyyyyyyy?」(Beltoga)

「The reason is because you had betrayed me. To me from thirty years ago, you had…」(Iori)

Then, Beltoga screams from the intense pain and the reality that the last antidote is gone.

Then, he showed such an unsightly appearance as he licked the ground desperately. Yet it seems ineffective when you look at his *PANPAN* bloating body that causes the poison effect.

While I laughed at it, I told him.

「If you hadn’t betrayed me, you wouldn’t have to die, though?」(Iori)

Having heard those words, I saw that the face of Beltoga was stained with regret.

“If I haven’t done that”, “If I hadn’t betrayed Amatsu”.

I can grasp such feelings from it.

At his very last moment, I was able to finally see it.

「PLEASE……PLEASE FORGIVE MEEEEEEEEEE~」(Beltoga)

The words of apology that I wanted to hear.

Shall I return him back those words that he said to me a while ago?

Oh!――, that’s it.

「――Say it in HELL!!」(Iori)

While he’s screaming at his last moments.

Beltoga body gotten swollen and bloating to its limit from the poison before it bursts off as it is.

「…… Seems it’s already ended」(Elfi)

「……aah*」(Iori) TN Yeah*

With this, two down.

As for those who betrayed me most directly such as Luser, Dionis and Lucifina they are still beyond my reach.

Still, revenge is revenge.

I will exact my revenge on everyone to ensure that I can finally move on.

I have not decided what I’m gonna do yet.

「As usual, the way you did it is really nasty」(Elfi)

「……Sorry for having you to tag along with me」(Iori) TN this sentences can be read as「……Sorry for having done it in my way」

「You fool」(Elfi)

Somehow after that Elfi said in a gentle tone which seems to show that she was worried about me.

「This is also my revenge-zo. It’s because I can’t do such an elaborate revenge like you did,

and regarding that Oni, I’m really thankful to you for that」(Elfi)

「I think I won’t be able to eat anything for around one hour」she said while sticking out her tongue.

“I guess it’s only an hour” as I retort while both of us let out a small laugh.

「Huh?」(Iori)

Then my sight *GURARI* swaying.

Suddenly the ground and the ceiling are reversed.

What is this?

「Iori!」(Elfi)

As I *BOSU* pomf got caught and embraced by Elfi.

Before I came to realise it, my consciousness gets farther away.

「……You have done well」(Elfi)

While I felt that my head is stroked.

「……If I’m with you, this time I’m sure that―――――― it’s possible to do it」(Elfi)

Right, to believe in.

I lost my consciousness at the end of such voice

Then several tens of minutes later.

The subjugation corps were saved by the reassembled adventurers which came running from the rear guard.
