Chapter 80: CH 79

Demon King Battle

Translated by Mlzkzr

Edited by Mlzkzr

A few days later, at a certain place near the border between Aegina and Comotoria.

When I was summoned and came to the designated place, Kaori was already there, waiting for me with her small body, arms folded, and standing imposingly with a good mood on her face.

“Yoh”

“I’ve been waiting for you! It’s been a whole day since I contacted you.”

“I came as soon as I got the call, though.”

I stand in front of Kaori, take a breath, and look around.

We are in an unremarkable suburb, characterized by the fact that no matter where I look in a 360-degree radius, I cannot see anything remotely resembling a human settlement beyond the horizon.

“I wonder how you found this place.”

“My subordinate found it.”

“Is he your servant?”

“No, he’s just a human being. He did a good job, so I think it’s fine to make him my servant in a hundred years or so.”

“Ah, it’s pretty hard for someone to become your servant, huh.”

It was a surprising fact, a little different from the image of the word “servant”.

“Where’s that servant?”

“I don’t need him this time. I left him because it would be a lot of trouble if he died as collateral damage.”

“I see. Then…… let’s start?”

“Of course!”

At that moment, the air changed completely.

The mood had changed from the peaceful one that had been happening until then, and I felt a tremendous killing intent covering my entire body, as if I had been continuously stabbed with about a hundred knives.

I pulled myself together.

Demon King, Kaori.

She is a creature that far transcends humanity, with the aspect of being the king of Comotoria.

Some call her the super-ultimate creature.

That Kaori disappeared right in front of my eyes!

“Kuh!”

I pulled out my sword, intuitively turned to the back, and fired a slash.

Something met with my slash.

The shockwave spreads like a water crest, creating a crater around where I am standing.

Climax from the beginning! That blow was to that degree.

“You repelled it! Good”

Kaori’s thin hands had deformed into sharp claws.

The feeling of hitting it with a sword was, in a nutshell, “unknown”.

It’s not metal.

But somehow it’s hard, somehow it’s soft, and above all, full of power.

Even if I opened all the drawers of my life, it was a blow that has a theory I could not understand.

“Do you want to kill me?”

“Of course.”

Kaori said with a big smile on her face, and then launched an onslaught from the front with her sharply altered claws on both hands.

It’s fast, strong, and heavy.

Fortunately, the attacks of her claws, in which each blow is deadly powerful, had only one weakness.

That means it’s an amateur attack.

To put it extremely roughly, Kaori’s attack is a “crappy punch far beyond the speed of sound”.

I countered it with “swordsmanship”.

The art of swordsmanship, is a technique that humans have refined and evolved over thousands of years and dozens of generations.

It was a technique that was sufficient to intercept the far stronger and faster spoiled punch.

That’s how I managed to intercept.

As long as I can intercept, I can get by.

The specifications of the super-ultimate creature, the Demon King, are such that once one is on the “defensive”, they can be pushed straight through. So I “kept intercepting.”

“You’re amazing! You are the second strongest person I have ever fought.”

“The second huh!”

“The first is my father!”

“Of course it is!”

He’s the father of the Demon King, of course he’s strong.

“You are the strongest I’ve ever seen”

“Fufun, I know, I know, I know!”

“You look happy”

“That’s natural!”

After a few minutes of hammering away at each other for what felt like an eternity, I gradually got used to it and could afford to engage in exchanges with Kaori.

She is still fast and strong, and her killing power is still the same, as if she’s piercing my skin with a grater.

Still, I’m more used to it now than I was at first, so I can afford to talk lightly about it.

“So you’ve passed the first stage?”

“Wha?”

“I’ll go a little stronger, here I come”

Kaori said so, then jumped about 10 meters, kicking the ground as it was, and jumped greatly into the sky.

I feel her magic power.

A super huge magic circle over 20 meters in diameter appeared on Kaori’s right hand as she pushed up.

“Oy, oy……”

“Here I go! Aunt Kaori’s direct attack…… Ten Realms of Thunder Formation!”

A natural disaster, I almost choked on the thought of that.

From a magic circle over 20 meters in diameter――thunder struck one after another from within it.

The lightning that pours down from the “face” of Kaori rushes to the “point” of me.

This is bad.

I thrust my sword to the ground, close my eyes and concentrate.

『I command. Apostle of formlessness and impermanence. Come and gather from the beginning to the end―― Absolute Photon Barrier! 』

I increase the magic power consumption through chanting.

The converted magic power was released out of my body and became a barrier of light covering my entire body.

The barrier prevented the lightning from pouring down like a storm.

……After all, a defensive barrier wouldn’t be enough.

Being on the receiving end, I have no choice but to turn my back foot, and eventually be pushed out.

It’s simple, but it’s like arm wrestling.

Once I start to be pushed, there will be no talk beyond that point.

I have to push back!

I stare intently with my eyes from inside the barrier.

I found a gap in the dense lightning.

I grabbed my sword and jumped out of the barrier.

I rush forward, swinging my sword and sweeping away the gap where the “ten thousand” became “one thousand.”

I come close to Kaori who’s flying in the sky.

“Eeh! It’s still my turn.”

“I didn’t say it’s going to be turn-based”

I dive into her bosom and swing down an unrelenting vigorous slash.

There was a response, and the slash tore Kaori’s flesh and severed her bones――

“It hurts…… it’s a terrific blow.”

Kaori drops slightly and lands on the ground.

Fresh blood was spurting out of her during her fall, but by the time she landed, her wound was completely closed.

I don’t expect this to be fatal to her, of course.

“You’re even more of a monster than I thought.”

“Because I am the Demon King.”

Kaori was in a good mood and puffed out her non-existing chest.

“Ah, just now, it was a compliment.”

“Of course. Alright, now it’s my turn. This time, I’m going to teach Hikari-aneesama directly――”

“As I said, I won’t go along in a turn-based――”

Without question, Kaori cleaves her hand straight across.

Then “humans” were summoned one after another.

Dozens and hundreds of them, summoned in an instant, attacked me all at once.

“What’s this”

“They’re my servants from successive generations. For the time being, I have summoned them from number one to number two hundred.”

“Geh!”

The word “servant” reminded me of that servant girl ―― No. 1024.

That child was an expert in restoration.

The Demon Lord Kaori, who apparently also carefully selected her servants―― also summoned her servants who were strong.

Each and every one of them, is as powerful or more powerful than Midea.

“Kuh!”

I swing my sword and meet them full throttle from the start.

I push my concentration to the limit and try to kill them one by one―― all of them with one blow.

“……Haha”

A laughter unexpectedly broke out.

Kaori, who had summoned her servant to attack me, was watching the match with her hands on her hips, looking relaxed.

Play

Unmute

The bloodlust―― is still there, but I thought this might not be the Demon King’s bloodlust.

Because it’s too strong and it feels like it’s just going to kill me.

Maybe Kaori has just been playing around with me from the beginning.

It made me think that it’s crazy.

“I’ll keep you company to the end then”

I, switch my consciousness.

Somewhat large, bold moves.

With that in mind, I changed the way I fight.

☆

The battle, which lasted half a day, was halted by a break in the evening or so.

I was on the ground sprawling in a 大 position, and Kaori was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

“That was fun!”

“No, no, you shouldn’t say that so refreshingly.”

“Why?”

“Look around you. The ground has been scorched ―― no, it’s far worse than that.”

Around me and Kaori, what had been a scenic, peaceful meadow until this morning, was transformed into something resembling hell itself.

The gaping crater is just the start.

Here and there, everything was completely burned, and in some places, the ground had melted into a lake of lava.

A short distance away from it, a poisonous purple liquid is boiling and bubbles were forming and popping from a large tree nearby which was melting down.

“It’s all right, I’ll have my servant fix this later.”

“Isn’t that child going to die from overwork?”

“More than that ―― Yes”

“Hmm?”

Kaori got up and came over to me and extended her hand.

“What is that?”

“It’s a handshake.”

“Handshake?”

“My father told me this. The strong become friends after they fight.”

“What is that outrageous statement?”

“It’s youth to punch each other on the bank under the iron railway bridge and shake hands in the twilight.”

“I don’t know what any of that means.”

I don’t understand it, but Kaori was serious.

Carrying the backlight of the twilight on her back, she continues to reach out to me.

“Fuh, it can’t be helped――”

She’s like a typhoon, but her openness is also likable.

I, tried to take her hand ―― at that time.

“――A’re?”

Malice.

A malicious magic circle spread from Kaori’s feet.

That magic circle swallowed me up as well.

“It’s a seal. What does this mean?”

“Fuhahahaha, you are foolish Demon king!”

I heard a man’s voice in the distance.

I turn around with Kaori.

There I saw a group of soldiers approaching.

It was the first time I’d seen that face.

“It’s the incompetent”

Kaori, who is a bit cruel, as well as the servant-like man, apparently knows each other.

“You know him?”

“Yeah, he’s my subordinate, but I’ve never ordered him to do anything because he’s incompetent.”

“Heh……”

I turned to the man.

“You, what are you trying to do? According to what she just said, you’re Kaori’s vassal, aren’t you?”

“We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. This is the time when we can defeat the Demon King.”

“What did you say?”

“Comotoria was originally a country of humans, but this demon lord’s mother and daughter made it their personal property. We will restore the rightful Comotoria.”

“……you mean it’s a coup d’etat?”

“It’s different! This is a righteous act!”

“Ah……”

The dumbfounded response of “yes, yes” almost came out of my throat.

I don’t know the ins and outs of Comotoria, but I do know one thing.

Righteous deed, loyal retainers.

There are no decent guys who say such things.

“I’m in a bind, and I don’t think I’m going to be able to crack this thing with my power.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I’m seriously exhausted from playing with my nephew.”

“Fufufu, that’s what I was aiming for.”

Triumphant ―― err, what’s his name, incompetent?

I asked such a victorious incompetent man.

“Hey, did Kaori do something? Like tyranny or something like that?”

“Foolish question! The Demon King’s very existence is a sin itself”

“I see. Hey Kaori”

“What is it?”

“You’re the king, right? How do you rule and stuff?”

“It’s in accordance with what my mother said. I’m not to touch politics until someone of my stature comes along. Whether humans prosper or perish depends on their own power. I’ll reign but will not rule.”

“I see.”

I now turn to the incompetent.

“I understand what Kaori’s mother said. I’ll take Kaori’s side.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, this seal that even the Demon King can’t break――”

“Nuun!”

With the remaining strength in my right arm, I punch the ground as it was.

With a “parin” sound, the magic circle shattered.

“――Wha”

The prohibition of the magic circle disappeared, and I jumped up.

“Tha,that’s stupid, why did it break. You must have used up the same power as the Demon King!”

“The reason is simple.”

I thrust my sword at the man.

“Because I haven’t taken it seriously yet.”

The incompetent and his soldiers were stunned.

“Amazing! I can’t believe you could still afford it, nephew-chan!”

Kaori, the party involved, had no sense of tension at all, and it almost made me feel weak.
