Leon’s Feelings
The battle between Leon
and Kazaream continued for a full day and night.
He was not simply
calling himself Great Demon Lord for nothing, as Kazaream possessed an
overwhelming amount of energy incomparable to what he had before.
Even after fighting a
lengthy battle, he showed no sign of exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Leon and
Mizari were also the same, but even though they were fighting together, they
were still toyed with by Kazaream.
The only reason why Leon
was able to continue fighting was because Kazaream was going easy on him; Leon
noticed this and ground his teeth.
“Will I meet my doom
here?” Leon asked himself.
If that were inevitable,
then so be it. Until Now, he had lived by crushing the weak.
Of course, when he
thought about it as his own turn finally coming up, he could accept it
obediently.
…No. Would that really
be fine for him?
He spared no sacrifice
when it came to his search for Chloe.
He even learned
summoning magic himself, and had summoned several people in his selfishness.
One of them was Claude,
and another was the burned girl.
Claude vowed his
vengeance against Leon, challenging him countless times, yet before they knew
it, his attempts at revenge had ceased, and the two came to recognize each
other.
Leon believed himself to
be selfish and cared not for others’ expectations. That was natural.
He might not have been
able to survive in this harsh world otherwise, finding and protecting that girl
could be said to be his only reason for living, yet that seemed a dream within
a dream.
Therefore, he thought,
it can’t be helped that he would be resented, and so he continued to cruelly
cut down the weak.
That was Leon’s way of
life, the true reason why he couldn’t be a Hero even though he had awakened as
a Hero.
A human is a creature
who has a hard time understanding another person’s mind. They live without
showing anyone their own mind. Therefore, there was no one with the desire to
understand Leon’s feelings, even if he wished for it.
A person like Claude is
an exception among the exceptions.
Ergo, he thought that
for people whom he summoned selfishly had every right to enact revenge against
him.
He saw the Silver Knight
Alrose fall down from the corner of his eye.
Moderate Clown Troupe is
a gathering of hedonists. They fight against anyone by request without any
principle.
Kazaream gathered such
people, possibly in part due him been warped by defeat in his fight against
Leon.
It reached the point
where he showed an obstinate obsession for Leon and lined up his subordinates
for varied harassment.
The reason why Clayman
acted hostile toward Leon could be traced back to Kazaream’s obsession.
Regardless of their
appearance, these were once Kazaream’s companions. They wouldn’t be weak.
No one would think that
the devil called Footman with a body that fat could be toying around with
Alrose and his quick movement.
Alrose’s swordsmanship
was top class, but because he’s a master of proper swordsmanship, he’s weak
against irregular attacks.
His weakness was seen
through in no time and he received a blow.
If he hadn’t gained the
power of the Demon Duke class, he would be dead because of the blow just now.
Thanks to the fact that
he became a half spiritual lifeform, even if he received injuries to the extent
of having a part of his body blown off, it would recover in an instant. But, he
might not able to continue this for a long time.
It’s clear that Footman
surpassed him in ability.
The combination of
Yellow Knight Kizna and White Knight Maetel fought well against the girl-like
devil called Tear.
So, it may be said that
they’re putting up a good fight. Because they are still alive.
In ability, Tear
surpasses the two overwhelmingly. If Tear fought them individually, she could
have reaped their lives immediately.
The pair was somehow
still alive thanks to the demon’s power they gained and their combination.
Maetel can’t master the
demon’s power In the first place.
As she was a user of
Holy Magic, her affinity with the demonic attribute was terrible.
Various applications
were possible depending on the usage method, but unfortunately she didn’t have
enough experience.
Thanks to the defensive
power of Kizna, they feel like they can get over Tear’s attack somehow by being
devoted to a defensive fight.
It seemed that it was a
matter of time before it be broken.
And the biggest problem
was Laplace.
He’s strong, too strong.
He’s undoubtedly the
strongest class.
Although he doesn’t seem
to possess any Ultimate Skill, it won’t be weird if he will master the ability
once he acquired it.
He’s still having some
leeway even when the strongest knight among Leon’s subordinate, the Black
Knight Claude and the Red Knight be his opponent at the same time.
「
Hah.
Give up, that feint is obvious.
」
「
Whoops,
danger danger. That juist now almost hit me. But, bad luck!
」
「
Oh,
oh my? Maybe, it already ended?
」
He cracks jokes with
such feeling, doing an easy attack while provoking Claude and Fran repeatedly.
As one would expect, the
two people didn’t get provoked.
But, as Laplace’s aim
was to make fun of the two, there’s no sign that he would stop his provocation.
Even if it didn’t
disturb the two’s feelings nor hindering the two’s thoughts, Laplace’s
disturbing words seem to show an effect.
In addition to it,
Laplace’s attack is not out of the ordinary, but the damage seems to be
gradually accumulated, it could be perceived from the movement of Claude and
Fran which gradually became duller.
With an opponent as
troublesome as the devil Laplace, Leon should be the one to fight such a
powerful enemy.
It might be said that
the situation was very bad.
Putting such a situation
in his view, Leon continues asking himself.
Claude came to follow
Leon, the number of his companions also begun to increase, and before he
noticed, Leon became a Demon Lord.
He united the oppressed
demi-humans, small and weak demon race
[1]
and created a place for
them to live in peace inside the Great Jura Forest.
This was because taking
control of a domain by force was easy to establish a new country,
His purpose was to
gather information.
He only wanted people
who could investigate information to become his hands and feet.
He protects them with
his strength and they work for Leon to realize his wish.
On such give and take
relationship, a subordinate-superior relationship was run.
He built a castle on the
territory of the Demon Lords and based in there. And then he sent his
subordinates to various places and collected information about Chloe.
It was at that time that
he repulsed Kazaream. If he thinks about it, that was the start of their connection.
The situation won’t be
like this if he dealt the decisive blow properly at that time.
It was the same when he
fought Yuuki, Leon ridiculed his na?veness.
He discovered a new
continent afterwards and spent his time to build the current El Dorado. When he
found Chloe, he wanted to prepare a country where she’ll be able to live in
peace.
Therefore, it was
necessary to protect the people who lived in the country.
Leon gradually came to
think about the people who follow him and the people under his protection, not
just about himself.
He can’t jeopardize the
country which he created with so much effort.
For such reason, he
decided to appropriate Kazaream’s castle inside the Great Jura Forest as his
cover.
He can’t help but to use
it as his first castle was destroyed in his battle with Kazaream, but
unexpectedly it wasn’t bad.
It was really suitable
as a test site where he test out various magic, Leon performed various
experiments in this castle.
Because the Great Jura
Forest became a sanctuary where people who feared Veldora won’t dare to enter,
it was helpful to avert the other demon lord’s eyes from him.
And, it was in this
castle where he did his last summon.
The girl who summoned to
answer Leon’s request was suffering major burns and dying.
He was able to save her
life with recovery magic. However, she will only die because she was too young
to have safely crossed the word boundary and her magic essence went amok.
Then it would be better
for him to let her die this way, but it might be better to make her suffering
prolonged. Thinking so, Leon takes an interest in the girl.
But,
「
elp,
please help……
」
The girl said so, Leon
saw the strong Will to not give up in her eyes and extended his hand to the
girl.
And then he noticed her
high compatibility to flame and recalled the existence of the high-ranking
spirit that’s Ifrit.
There’s perhaps a
possibility of compatibility, but if it fails Ifrit will disappear too.
But――
Because he only took it
from Ramiris in a fit of anger before, it won’t be painful to lose it.
The girl survived
splendidly.
Then, against himself,
who summoned her into this world without permission, the girl has the right for
revenge.
If the girl named Shizue
Izawa was going to kill him, he would accept it directly from the front.
At the time the
strongest and the famous Hero attacked, it was for such reason that he left
without hesitating.
As he might be defeated
by the Hero.
But, the Hero will
surely save the girl who is a former human. He had such prediction.
After all, unlike the
failure the likes of him, who was only strong, she was called as the “True
Hero”, the strongest title in the history.
If he thought about it,
if he had met the Hero there, he might have been able to realize that she was
Chloe.
But, it didn’t happen.
Ironically, one came
from the other side, while the other one missed the other by running away.
(What am I really trying
to do…..)
Leon blows out a sigh.
Kazaream’s attack is
harsh without cutting any corners. It would be na?ve for him to think that he
can deal with it while he’s in deep thoughts.
However, even so……
「
Leon-oniichan,
you had searched for me this whole time right.
Ehehe. You see, I’ve
always want to meet you too.]
He was finally able to
meet her the other day.
With Chloe, whom he
searched all this time.
She seemed to be fine.
But, because of the curse, she doesn’t seem to be able to act freely currently.
Still,
「
You
see, Rimuru-Sensei had promised me that
he would surely save me.
I believe in Sensei.
The Sensei who received
Shizu-Sensei, Shizu-San’s feelings and saved us!
」
Chloe said so with
straight eyes.
The girl whom Leon saved
whimsically seemed to follow a strange fate and ended up as Chloe’s teacher.
On the contrary, she met
Demon Lord Rimuru and led him to Chloe.
It will be an
unbelievable story to say that all of it is by coincidence.
If he didn’t save Shizue
Izawa, perhaps Chloe would be dead due to the magic essence rampage.
If you think about it
so, then all the things that he has done all this time wasn’t for vain or so he
thinks.
No, he might only want
to think so.
However, even so――
He was able to meet with
Chloe again in this way. Then it was enough.
(Therefore, have I been
satisfied with it? To the extent I accepted my death?)
Chloe has someone named
Rimuru who she can rely on.
Even if he’s gone, he
can entrust her at ease.
But, is he fine with
that?
He’s conscious that he
never did anything in his life that he can be proud of, but Leon thought that
he can’t afford to left everything to Chloe and ended up doing nothing.
Besides, he can’t give
up if the Demon Lord Rimuru that Chloe believed in was killed.
(I don’t think that guy
will be killed so easily though……)
He cannot help but to
say that he’s still na?ve by having such thoughts.
In the first place, he
couldn’t leave his important Chloe to such worthless guy.
(Ffu. I still have a
long way to go. It’s not in my character to easily give up.)
Leon, who was blown off
and thrown to the ground, calmly stood up.
His eyes are calm, as
his hesitation is cleared up, his body overflowed with energy.
Leon remembered the
meaning to fight and regained his unbroken will.
Looking at Leon, who
stood up, Kazaream knit her eyebrows.
He snickered as he would
torment him after he completely broke Leon’s pride.
Apparently, Leon’s mind
didn’t seem to be broken yet
「
Hey
hey, did you get scared of dying suddenly?
You who can’t match me,
you won’t able to do anything even if you stood up!
」
Kazaream speaks in
sickening woman’s tone in spite of her body which already turned into a
stubborn man.
However, it didn’t like
his sex has changed; it can be said that the only change is that his body had
been optimized.
After all, his voice
still remains that of a female elf.
Leon stares at Kazaream
while thinking that his voice is unpleasant.
His Ultimate Skill
『
Purity Lord Metatron
』
is the ultimate power of holy attribute.
But, Kazaream’s Ultimate
Skill
『
Dominion Lord
Melchizedek
』
is a ultimate
power with both attributes of holy and demonic.
Therefore, all Leon’s
attacks are counterbalanced and he’ll only suffer damage from the power which
exceed his.
It’s not about affinity
or anything, only that his ability is completely inferior to Kazaream’s
ability.
For example, he might be
able to seal him if he used Triangle Pyramid.
But, even if he honestly
tries to seal her, it was bound to be avoided.
Moreover, there’s a
possibility that even his strongest sealing technique may be broken in the
worst case. After all, it’s an absolute sealing barrier against demonic
attribute, but Kazaream also have the holy attribute.
This side might receive
a fatal attack in the gap when he tries it carelessly.
(She’s a troublesome
opponent.)
Leon was thinking about
the means to fight Kazaream while handling her attacks calmly.
「
Leon-sama,
do you have a good plan?
」
Mizari asked.
「
I
have none. You’re the same too, aren’t you? All demonic attributed attacks
would be nullified won’t they?
」
Mizari was in the same
situation as Leon, all her attacks were counterbalanced and she received damage
from the excess energy.
She seemed to begin to
do some makeshift attacks, but everything was pinned down by Kazaream’s power.
Naturally, all magic was
nullified. That’s natural, since magic doesn’t work against Ultimate Skill.
「
Yes.
It’s very troublesome as he has the ability with both attribute of holy and
demonic.
Moreover, it’s not just
that.
Kazaream’s energy when
converted into magic essence, seems to be more than 3 times than mine.
」
It was a hopeless
number.
Right now, Mizari is
equal to Leon, as she has become an awakened Demon Lord class. Her energy also
greatly increases.
But, Kazaream has a
three times more energy compared to Mizari.
Comparing it with
himself, Leon estimated that Kazaream’s energy
[2]
to be a little less than 3
times of his.
Spiritual power to
handle the energy of pure light. That source becomes the aggregate amount of
the holy aura which become energy but―― even in that energy, Kazaream is above
those people.
As in the performance of
the ability and the quantity of energy.
That doesn’t mean that
he has 6 times more power than them if holy and magic combined.
He was simply changing
the energy with his ability.
That’s why, he’s more
troublesome. In a word, it means he completely put the ability under control.
Just like the name,
Dominion Lord Melchizedek.
「
Hoohohoho.
It’s useless, useless. You two can’t beat me.
That’s right, beg for
your life. And then lick my shoes.
If you do so, I may
spare your life.
」
A distorted smile
floated as Kazaream suggests, but it’s useless to hear it.
After all, he didn’t
intend to really spare their life and only want to satisfy his desire to want
to see their ungraceful appearance.
Mostly because of such
warped desire, he’s going easy on them.
It was foolish, but
Kazaream made that grudge his reason to live.
In Leon’s view, he can
see Footman tormenting Alrose.
If things keep going
this way, it’d be dangerous.
But, he didn’t have any
room to help him.
Although he made his
mind to fight until the bitter end, the situation remains at its worst.
At that time――
「
Bufuou!!
」
Raising a scream,
Footman was blown away
“Who is that!?” Without
any time to even think so,
「
Are
we late?
」
「
No,
looks like we barely made it in time.
」
Such conversation was
heard.
Two people who standing
still without letting out any presence could be seen.
“Who are they!?” such is
Leon’s question,
「
Nice
to meet you, I’m Benimaru.
The number one
subordinate, the faithful servant of the Great Demon Lord Rimuru-sama.
The one who bear the
title of “Flare Lord”.
I wonder who should I
kill?
」
A red-haired, handsome
man declares while sprouting a refreshing smile.
And,
「
Faithful?
I’m certain that you are the most insincere one though……
You’re overshadowed next
by Diablo or Zegion you know?
」
A blue-haired, handsome
man standing next to Benimaru while letting out such tsukkomi.
Receiving Leon’s gaze,
「
I’m
not a person worthy to introduce myself.
I will only say that I’m
the faithful shadow of the Great Demon Lord Rimuru-sama.
Well, don’t worry about
it.
When I kill you all,
there won’t be any chance for us to meet anymore.
」
He declared so while
having a fearless smile.
「
Hey,
you…… don’t tattle about it okay? Never spread the rumor about it, okay!?
」
「
Stupid,
don’t underestimate Diablo’s intelligence network.
Even if I don’t say it,
that demon will somehow hear about it.
Put that aside, don’t
get carried away and thinking you can rampage around since it’s been a while.
」
Although the two are
joking around, they’re not relaxing their guard at all.
Obviously indicating
that they’re not an ordinary person.
(Benimaru and also
Rimuru’s shadow? To make even such people as his subordinates.)
And from their behavior,
Leon realized it immediately without any doubt.
The hearsay that “the
Demon Lord Rimuru is dead” is to deceive the enemy.
Similarly, Kazaream
seemed to realize it too.
「
Don’t
be joking? Demon Lord Rimuru is dead.
Such small fry
introducing himself as a Great Demon Lord is so presumptuous!!
」
He shouted in a loud
voice.
But, that shout made the
two angry.
Benimaru lose his
refreshing smile and his face becomes expressionless.
The other person, Souei
who introduced himself as the Great Demon Lord’s shadow is expressionless by
nature, but cold light flickered in his eyes.
The two shout at the
same time.
「「
I
will kill you!!
」」
So.
And the situation of the
war enters a new phase.
[1]
It’s not the same demon like Diablo,
Diablo is akuma, here the kanji is Mazoku.
[2]
It’s written as amount of holy
spirit here.
