The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V1 Chapter 13 General Direction of the Wind Eye

Before the throne Varvatos sat, three Devils lined up.

One of them was a female Devil with long blonde hair.

On top of her white-colored clothes as the basic theme, she wore a pendant with a yellow Magic Stone attached inside.

He did not carry anything like a weapon, it could be concluded that he was most likely focusing on hand-to-hand combat or magic.

One of them was a Devil with short silver hair.

He had light blue-colored metal armor and a large sword that was all along his height.

Varvatos thought that this one was clearly a swordsman.

The last one was a giant muscular man.

She has light brown disheveled hair and a fairly grown beard.

Wearing old-looking clothes that he wore well, he had the appearance of a carpenter.

As expected, he did not carry a weapon, but he was the most mysterious man.

Varvatos understood that the three of them were extremely strong people just by looking at them. However, at the same time, he could tell that they were truly bastards.

Excluding the female Devils, the threatening pressure from the other two directed at Varvatos was abnormal.

"Welcome. I'm Demon King Varvatos.”

Deliberately claiming to be the Demon King, Varvatos introduces himself.

Seeing that, the swordsman silently moved his brows, and the female Devil took a step forward.

“I Fainell. The Devil of the East. It's too fast but there's something I want to ask you, Varvatos.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Is the rumor on this occasion the truth or not.”

“If it is related to the formation of four generals of the cardinal directions, then it is the truth.”

Fainell nodded to Varvatos.

And then, as if to be in the next row after him, the muscular man took a step forward.

“I Ractor. Is it okay for the selection criteria to be based on strength?”

“Vowing allegiance to the Demon King also includes I guess.”

“I understand. Incidentally, I am the strongest in the south.”

Hearing those words, Varvatos raised a voice of admiration.

He had heard from Orel that the southern region had a gigantic decisive kaijuu battle, but the man in front of him had an appearance that was no different from normal Devils.

In other words, it seems that the man in front of him who introduced himself as Rakor has the possibility that he has a different appearance from what he looks here.

“So, how about you?”

Varvatos turned his gaze to the last person── swordsman.

The swordsman opened his mouth while staring at Varvatos.

“...... According to what I have heard, I have learned from the rumors that there are two marks on a person worthy of being a Demon King. I'd like to ask you to prove it.”

“Two signs?”

Varvatos then replied with “I understand” and he also understood some things.

Fainell and Ractor, although their appearance was completely different, they were the stereotypical Muscle Brain Monsters. However, it seemed like this swordsman was not like that.

“Iya. One is that it is said that Demon King and Hero can confirm the Status of others even without [Reveal Crystal].”

________

“True, Altejio. It seems that you have very amazing equipment.”

“.... so you have seen it.”

“Yes. I don't know if it's all, but I can see most of it. Or could it be you who showed it to me.”

Without a doubt, Light Resistance and Void Freeze were the effects of his armor.

He could also understand that the technical skill called [Heart of Absolute Zero] was the source of Altejio's calm.

“Good. Then, another.”

After immediately regaining his composure, Altejio retrieved the crystal ball visible from the bag.

Seeing the thing that Altejio let out, Fainell nodded looking as if he understood what he was doing.

“If you were a Demon King, this thing would show a clear difference from a Devil who only cheats. I want to confirm if you really are a Demon King with this.”

[Revale Crystal].

It was a Magic Item that had the ability to display one's Status.

Since it had an effect similar to the Confirming Magic Status used by Heroes and Demon Lords, it was also something that was widely used regardless of being used by Humans or Demons.

"It's okay, I don't mind. Leave that here.”

“...... So it's okay.”

Saying that, Altejio handed over the [Reveal Crystal] to Varvatos.

"Not to bother with that. If it will make you loyal to me.”

Standing up from the throne, Varvatos took the [Reveal Crystal] from the hands of Altejio who remained silent, and put his consciousness into it as if he was praying inwardly.

When he did that, his status appeared inside the crystal.

________

Name: Varvatos

Race: Demon King

Rank: SSS

Occupation: Magician

Equipments:

the - Ring of Sorcery

- The other Demon King’s Clothing

Details: Unknown

_________

Race, Demon King.

The three people focused on what was displayed.

Altejio with a astonished face.

Fainell looked satisfied.

The reactor taking up the position was very interested.

The Demon King had his own race registered as the Demon King.

The reason why it was useless, and no matter how many people declared themselves to be Demon Lords could be distinguished in this area.

However, since this was a fact that only a portion of the Monsters knew, it could be said that it was inevitable that a self-proclaimed Demon King like the one in the western region would become a recurring occurrence.

“So, are you satisfied?”

When he returned the [Reveal Crystal] to Altejio, the three Monsters lined up as if they made a mistake from standing up and taking the retainer bow.

No sign of doubt.

With more than 120 years having passed since Demon King Gramfia perished, the true Demon King had returned to this Black Continent.

“I will officially introduce myself. I'm Fainel. I'm a Devil from the East.”

“I Ractor. Strongest in the South ...... No, excluding the Demon King, I am probably the strongest in the continent.”

Next to Fainell staring at Rakor, Altejio also started self-introduction.

“I Altejio. The Devil from the North. Demon King Varvatos, I apologize to you ..... for my various rude actions.”.

“Don't worry about that, Altejio. I don't hate men with a good head on their shoulders.”

As he said that, Varvatos smiled faintly as he sat back on the throne.

Finally, the first step is complete.

The Black Continent was vast, and it would take much time for Varvatos himself to conquer it.

As long as there was no guarantee that a Hero or anything would not appear during the near future, he needed to advance everything quickly.

It was for this reason that the four commanders of the cardinal directions were arranged.

By committing a massive annihilation, only a powerful Monster's choice would comply.

And then, it would also prepare subordinates who would become pawns who were the four commanders of the cardinal directions.

In other words, the plan for the new Demon King Army.

He did not need the Monster that Gramfia had created, which had been defeated by the Hero in the past.

As long as Monsters could be created by Varvatos, the majority of them were meaningless. All he wanted was a handful that had extremely high capabilities.

“I want you all to work as the commander of the new Demon King Army.”

Dark emotions swirled within Varvatos.

…… That's right, this is a cleanup as well as an update.

Old things will be removed, and new things will be created.

He was not a party of humans but a party of Monsters.

It was because he was the Demon King and because he was the king so these were all reckless acts worth trying.

Varvatos quietly took one step forward.
