The Tyrannical Demon King's Reincarnation

Chapter 4 04 Zepes

I opened the door at the back of the waiting room and walked down the dim, long hallway

Although this is my castle, this is my first time using this corridor. This arena was originally a place where people struggled to show off their skills in battle

The light appeared as I approached the end of the corridor and I exited to the round stadium with high walls

On top of the wall was a spectator chair filled here and there with mazoku

Looking closer I could see that they were all wearing the same uniform. Are they students at this school?

"Yes! We meet again . ”

A dark-skinned man was standing at the opposite end

It was the Zepes that I handled easily last time

Fumu's. My partner is a child. It will be hard to prove that I am the founder who fought him. What should I do?.

"You . Oh! Are you listening . ”

Without answering I walked forward 3 steps and the hallway behind me was closed with a magical barrier

"Ups. Your retreat has been blocked. Are you nervous? ”Say Zepes with a proud tone

"You think I'm thinking of running away? Don't worry, I won't kill you so feel good. ”

Zepes clicked his tongue. .

Yare yare's. I was being polite but this person was not polite

Is he really a fool who can't discern our strength?

"Let me tell you that I won't be easy on you. I'll turn your proud face into a wet face, full of tears full of horror then I'll kill you. ”

I can't help it. I laughed out loud

"Yaku, Haahaaha. No no No . Killed me? Wh who? This me?".

I looked at Zepes

“Know your place, you clown. ”

Strength could be put into words but not affect the current Zepes

The dull-colored armor he was wearing anti-magic formation flashed across its surface

"Hou, I won't eat from that hand again. This armor contains the power to block all the magic magic within it. ”

I saw . Because he relied on the armor his personal anti-magic power was weak

Despite being my descendant, he is a very pitiful man

“All weapons, armor, and spells allowed. Victory or defeat leads to the death of someone but you can give up and I will determine the winner. ”

The sound of owls flying above filled the arena

“Practical test, start!”.

Zepes immediately pulled out the sword hanging on his waist. The blade is brightly lit

"Are you surprised? demon sword Zefried. A sword born from an ancient flame that has been passed down through the Endou family. It will strengthen my magic power tenfold. You seem to be good at anti-magic but this sword fire cannot be erased. ”

"Fumu. Are you bad at math? ".

Zepes openly showed his anger while cutting the distance between us

"What are you trying to say?".

“One fold tenfold is still only ten. ”

"********!".

Zepes kicked the ground and in the next moment appeared in front of me put me in the Zefried range

"Dead. ”

Fuwaa. I pressed the yawn

He's very slow

If I had a sword, I would do 100 slashes now. Well, adults should pay attention to children while they play

Oh, it's coming

The Zefried demon sword was swung horizontally and was about to connect with my neck when I subconsciously stared at the sword properly for the first time

It's bad! I quickly avoided

"Hou. You did well to avoid it. ”

That's hazardous. A few more millimeters and it will be connected to the weak anti-magic field, I have always been active on myself. It would break the sword in two

This was the treasure of the Endou family that had been passed down from generation to generation. Even though it was blunt I did not want to break their important item. Truly the pain of conscience

However

"Is that a demon sword?".

"Indeed . Is this the first time you've seen him? It is different from modern magic. That's real magic. This was an old sword from the time of the gods. The Sword of the Demon Zefried! ".

……… This is the demon sword?

If I had to compare it to the time the gods just took the old stick from the ground and it would have more magic power than this

If you are told that this is a product of the times of the Gods you get a fake

A true demon sword had its own will and power so great that even its user would be destroyed in the end

The words demon sword used were too frivolous as well

"Fu. ”

I blew and the fire from the demon sword Zefried was extinguished

"Geh, Geeeeeeeh !?"

A wordless scream came from Zepes and a shocked voice came out from the audience

"I don't believe that. That guy wiped the fire from Zefried! ".

“The old flame is said not to disappear until the end of the world. Also, I did not see any magic activation !! ”.

Zepes gritted his teeth

"********. Maybe .... sealing magic !? ”.

"What's? I just blew it. With the amount of power hidden in that sword, it would re-ignite in a few years. ”

Zepes had a bitter expression

“..... Sealing magic, coercion magic, you definitely seem to have obtained magic power at a terrible rate. The magic you use is not suitable for battle, so how are you going to break through my anti-magic armor? ”.

Fumu's. The armor would break if I just patted it even though it would be a little childish on my part

“I don't think I can feel proud if I break it. ”

"Hm. Have you lost your courage? ".

“No, but I have an interesting proposal. First of all, it's wrong that we fight over the same point of view. ”

Zepes looked at me carefully

“I'll give you a handicap. I won't move a single step from here. I will not use magic and I will not empower my words or breath with magic. I won't move my limbs and I won't even use my eyes or hair. I will defeat you without blinking. ”

"Ha! There should be a limit to bluffing. Is that your reason for losing? It seems, your magic is completely unsuitable for battle. Ha... ”.

Zepes spewed blood

"… Imposs .... ible ...... this is …".

“Can you hear it?”.

Dokuns. Sound echoed

"It's a heartbeat. ”

Magic power was put in the beating and the sound shook Zepes violently. Although it was anti-demonic armor, it was not a very good item. There were a number of gaps in the anti-magic formation. My heart beat passed through them

"Ka .. hm ……".

With blood seeping from his entire body, Zepes knelt down and then fell forward

"Fumu. I give up . Very weak . If I get excited, my heartbeat will kill everyone. ”
