YM778.TV 25 - Chapter Xxv -- Welcome Hello
It\'ll go away sooner or later. What the hell... I\'ve got a lot of other status besides being a great demon king. In the meantime, I\'m going to hide all the high level statuses and titles from the fox cubs in order to get rid of their fear of me.
And, of course, there\'s the white fox. He might be the god of business. In the meantime, let\'s make an offering." He takes out the plate in the "infinite storage" and puts the zenzai he just made in it, and holds it out in front of the fox cub.
"Have some if you like. It may not be to your liking. May it bring you good luck.
The foxes clap their hands with a clap of their own. The fox cubs are stunned. If I\'m around, he won\'t be able to eat what he wants to eat. I turn on my heel and quietly move away from the fox cub. The fox cubs approach me with a sense detector. They sniff and sniff and sniff and sniff and sniff, and then they seem to eat. What, was he hungry?
I was about to say, "If you\'re hungry, we can get you a refill," when I saw a creature coming toward me with great speed. It seems that three human beings are on their way. They are red in color, so they seem to be completely hostile.
I wait for a while, and two horses come closer. They charge at me without hesitation.
Gyoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
My warding stops the horse. I looked closely and saw that the horse had horns. A unicorn? Whoa, you\'re hurting my wards! If they charge the same place 200 more times, they might break the wards.
As I was thinking that, another one came up behind me.
"I got it!"
He slashes at me from horseback. Too slow. Slow as a fool. I easily lose the slash, not even needing to use my warding.
Die!
The next thing I know, the unicorn that should have been behind me is gone. No, I know. It\'s over my head.
I look behind me and see a horse with wings. And there\'s a young man with blood in his eyes, still holding a sword out to me. He\'s slow, too. I easily lose.
"For all his hideous demons, he appears to be human. Who are you?
"As I thought, he\'s a great demon king, Your Highness. He must be the Demon King.
Behind the man astride the horse rides another woman. She is bewitching and mysterious. She is a connoisseur, judging from the fact that she has figured out that I am the Great Demon King. Check the status of the three.

One of you is a bit different, isn\'t he? The two boys are not so bad, but they are "cursed". All three don\'t seem to be very sane. Like minds think alike, right?
Tenma slowly descends to the ground.
"I have a few skills, but they are all low. If we can handle them, it should be a piece of cake.
"How can you say that the Great Demon King is so weak? It is a very bad thing that he is radiating such a disastrous demonic energy."
Perhaps they have only been alive for a short time. It seems he has not yet awakened.
"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! That\'s good, that\'s good, that\'s good! I\'m a lucky man. I never thought I\'d run into a pre-wakened Daimajo! If I bring back his head, I\'ll be the next emperor for sure!"
"Hyah! This guy\'s a celebration! Let\'s kill him! Let\'s kill him now!
It\'s been a long time since I\'ve had a chance to talk to a human being, and now this. They\'re a bunch of jerks. Hmm? The woman\'s starting to chant. She\'s trying to sneak up behind this monk who\'s talking about being the next emperor or something. That\'s the vixen. Well, I guess it won\'t work on me.
Then something falls on her shoulder. I look closer and see that it is the fox cub from before.
The woman is quite surprised and knocks the fox cub to the ground, probably because she was chanting. And then..,
"Your Highness! Kill me!"
"Dabba, do it."
Tenma\'s horns are thrust into the fox cub\'s belly. Blood begins to flow. I can\'t let this happen. I\'m gonna...
"Burst."
and creates a medium-sized explosion around the fox cub. While the enemy ducks for a moment, I go under the fox cub and quickly cast a recovery spell. The wound is quickly healed. The fox cub looks at his belly with a strange expression on his face.
I step in front of the little fox. These three need to be punished.
"Hmph, hmph. Is that the extent of your magic? That\'s not much of a story, is it? Now, die like a man."
Tenma charges at me with his horns up, but of course he is blocked by my warding. Immediately after that, Cæsarius\' slash is fired at my neck, and Piaolan\'s huge fireball is shot at my head.
With my left hand I smash Cearius\' sword and with my right hand I extinguish Piaolan\'s fire magic with water magic. At the same time, I shot Piaolan with a LV5 fire magic, "Burning Bullet". The flames were compressed to the utmost limit, so they were transparent and about three centimeters in size. Such a fireball flies at a very high speed. There was no way to avoid it at such a close range. Piaolan\'s left hand and left leg are vaporized because he was leaning out from his horse. He will think that his legs and arms are gone. At that moment, flames rise from the wounds. From this point of view, it appears as if flames are coming out from the left hand and the left leg.
"What? Oh, no, no, no, no!
Heat and pain followed. Piaolan falls from his horse.
"Gohhh!"
Tenma, who had been propping up his horns, bit me on the head. I pulled out my "Onikiri" and decapitated him. It sure felt good. But Tenma\'s head remained connected. After a moment, Tenma\'s appearance changes.
The animals began to squeal and flail about. Searius tried to regain his position, but the horse would not listen to him.
"Goh! Goha! Goh! Goaaaah!"
The horse makes a whinnying sound, which is not really a horse\'s whinny, and shakes itself violently. Cearius is thrown off his horse and slams to the ground.
"You dabba!
Cearius is hitting a rock as hard as he can against the sky horse. A child.
"I got your back! Hyah! Die!"
Zai slashes at me from behind. I know. With your back to Zai, you grab his sword with your left hand. Then he snaps the sword and throws a powerful back fist at Zai\'s nose. Zai backed up, stomping on the ground.
"Whoa, you son of a b*tc*! You\'re getting carried away! It seems you can only be defeated by sheer force. Zai, you are cleared to draw your sword."
Searius and Zai pull out the swords on their backs. The sword was so beautiful that I couldn\'t help but say, "Wow!
It is the most famous sword in the history of the Heedata Empire. This is the end of you.
I don\'t know what\'s the end of it, but I\'m annoyed that Zai is laughing and muttering "Koros Koros Koros" in a low voice like an incantation, so I fire a scorching bullet without asking any questions. In an instant, Zai\'s left arm is vaporized and flames erupt from the left half of his body. Zai rolls on the ground screaming. A pheasant will not be shot if it does not cry.
While I am distracted by Zai, Cæsarius comes in to slash at me. I slash at him with my "Oni-kiri" without question.
"De, Your Highness!"
Cearius disappears into the forest with a cry. Behind him, there is Zai, riding a horse, dexterously maneuvering it with only his right hand. There are many demons ahead.... Oh well.
There is no sign of the fox. I searched for him on the map, and found that he seems to be on the run toward Heedata. So I decide to try out my newly learned lightning magic. I aim at the fox and fire a thunderbolt at it. It is a thunderbolt that keeps chasing the fox until it dies. It is called "Lightning Guidance". The map shows that he is trying his best to avoid it, but........................ But he still manages to avoid it. Well, good luck with that.
