Chapter 164: The New Demon King and the Ancient Four Heavenly Kings
[space_man][space_man]Aleamia’s thrust headed towards the demon, but the demon stepped back and avoided it.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What is it, Goddess? I thought I could finally play with an interesting toy, but don’t get in my way.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Aleamia, undeterred, unleashed a series of thrusts.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I said don’t interfere!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon swung its arm, creating a gust of wind that blew Aleamia away. Eld and Marie were also affected by the aftershock and stumbled back slightly.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Was that magic? What power.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Eld muttered.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”No one used any magic. That was just a swing of the arm.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon said with a disgruntled look. Eld and Marie’s expressions stiffened. How strong could it be to blow Aleamia away with a single swing of its arm and have the force reach them?
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Sigh…… My interest is gone.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon sighed. Aleamia regained her footing and thrust her spear, but the demon stopped it with its hand.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You’re persistent, Goddess. Don’t worry, I have someone to deal with you……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon stared intently at Aleamia’s face.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”You look familiar.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I feel the same way. Could you be the Four Heavenly King, Create?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon released the spear, and Aleamia took some distance.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s been a long time since I’ve been called a Four Heavenly King……So, you’re the child who defeated the previous Demon King. Come to think of it, we’ve fought a few times.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon looked into the distance nostalgically.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”But I’m surprised that there were survivors from that explosion. And…… It’s been 10,000 years since then, but you haven’t aged much. Is that how the Goddess race is?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Enough with the idle talk, answer me. Are you Create? Or his descendant?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Aleamia repositioned her spear, pointing its tip at the demon.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I am the Demon King Create. I am the very same Four Heavenly King Create you speak of.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Upon hearing this, Aleamia breathed a sigh of relief.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Thank goodness…… If you’re the Demon King, then I have a chance of winning.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What are you misunderstanding? Don’t think of the me from the past and the me now as the same.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]……But I’m not motivated to fight anymore today. You’ve ruined my fun with that interesting toy because of you.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The Demon King Create began to float upwards.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Are you running away!?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Well, wait, there’s someone else to take your place.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The Demon King chanted a spell that humans couldn’t understand. The Demon King’s body glowed, and the light flew towards Eld’s Tempera, Marie’s Meteor, and Moira’s Healing, which she was using to treat Al a short distance away. The three magic swords glowed and flew towards Create. Moira, who was holding Healing firmly, was pulled along and fell near Create.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The three magic swords emitted a strong light, and when it subsided, they had transformed into three demons. The demons, who were formerly magic swords, slowly descended to the ground and opened their eyes.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Now, Ancient Four Heavenly Kings! Obey the current Demon King’s orders and annihilate that Goddess and the humans!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Create commanded the three on the ground, but all three simply looked up at Create without any intention of moving.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”What’s wrong with you!? Go! Go!!”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh, you’re Create. You’ve aged quite a bit.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon in red armor, Meteor, said with a grin, showing its sharp white teeth. It seemed to be wearing no helmet or anything on its head, so its expression was clearly visible.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Perhaps we haven’t aged because we were magic swords.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The demon clad in white, robe-like cloth, Healing, said. Its expression was hidden by a mask that covered its entire face, but from its posture and voice, it seemed to be female.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]The remaining demon, Tempera, with its pale, mineral-like body, silently stared at Create. Looking at its face, Eld thought it might not be able to speak because it had eyes but no mouth.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I cast a subservience spell on you! So why……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Hearing this, Meteor and Healing opened their mouths, and Tempera opened its hand, each producing a purple mass.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Is this what you’re talking about? It’s laughable to think you could enslave us with such a trivial spell.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Healing slammed the mass to the ground and stomped on it, Meteor burned it, and Tempera crushed it in its hand.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Create, it seems you’re calling yourself the Demon King without permission, but don’t get too carried away, or I’ll kill you, even if you are our kin.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Tempera, who had been silent until now, said while staring at Create. Eld was convinced that it could speak.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Tch…… Fine. You can only remain in your original forms until tomorrow morning anyway. Enjoy your last taste of freedom until then.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]With that, the Demon King Create flew off to the north. Aleamia wanted to chase after him, but she couldn’t leave the Ancient Four Heavenly Kings unattended, so she couldn’t pursue him.
