The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)

Without wasting a second Ray stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of me.

“…..Haaa….!!” (Ray)

The spirit god sword shined so brightly it even dazzled my demon eyes.

Rays figure disappeared as if melting into the light but I felt bloodlust coming from my blindspot.

In a flash of light, the blade of the holy sword swings down so quick my eyes can’t follow it.

“There.” (Arnos)

I condense <Beno Ieven> on my left hand like a shield and block the attack coming from my blindspot.

The sound of a magical explosion roared in my ears and the <Beno Ieven> on my left hand was destroyed.

“Well spotted.” (Ray)

“Because I used your demon eyes.” (Arnos)

I reconnected the cut magic line from <Guys> and looked through Rays eyes.

“………..” (Ray)

Ray cuts the magic line with Evans Mana but I immediately reconnected it.

Until I cancel <Guys> and at this distance, I can reconnect it as many times as I want.

“You don’t have the benefit of <Ask> now and even with your mazoku body you have no chance of winning.” (Arnos)

“Well as for you, your origin was pierced by this sword 2000 years ago. Even though the purpose was to inject magic power into you this swords true purpose has always been to destroy the demon king of tyranny. Isn’t your origin still damaged?” (Ray)

“Let’s see shall we.” (Arnos)

Casting Origin Killer <Bebuzud> I put my right-hand fingertips through it dying them black.

Looking at Ray with my demon eyes I can see he’s got his 7 origins now. If I don’t coat my hand with <Bebuzud> I won’t be able to damage them.

“Demon Rock Falling Star Bullet <Gia Greas>” (Arnos)

A huge magic circle is drawn in the sky and equally huge jet black demon stones appear in it before pouring endlessly down. It was as if countless falling stars were heading towards Ray.

“…….Haa…….!!” (Ray)

Using Evans Mana Ray cuts away all the rocks coming towards him.

Even though Evans Mana is a holy sword it’s still impressive for it to easily destroy falling stars, however, it did serve to keep Ray’s hands busy.

“Water Prison Destruction Waterfall <Rio Edram>.” (Arnos)

This time a huge formation covers the grasslands before spewing out water and transforming the place into a shallow black pond.

Then like a fountain, a jet black waterfall erupted vigorously at Rays feet and shot towards the heavens.

“…..Seaa….!!” (Ray)

Ray stabs Evans Mana into the ground with all his strength causing the ground to split and drain away all the water.

I immediately cast <Gia Greas> again and pour rocks down on Ray who proceeds to evade them all.

“Too slow.” (Arnos)

I block his path forward by firing off 20 <Geo Greys> and as expected he couldn’t dodge in time and was wrapped up in the black flames.

“Haa!!” (Ray)

At the moment where he shook off my black flames using the blessing of Evans Mana, I pierced his chest right to his heart with my right hand.

“….Guuuuh……” (Ray)

“First one.” (Arnos)

I crush one of his origins using <Bebuzud>.

As long as one origin remains the rest will return but it does take time. As long as I can get 6 of his origins his resistance should stop.

“Give up. 2000 years ago you never beat me once.” (Arnos)

“Certainly I never beat you.” (Ray)

Ray strikes at my right arm with Evans Mana before it can destroy another origin forcing me to block with my <Beno Ieven> clad left hand.

As soon as I did Ray kicks the ground and separates himself from me.

“No matter how many times I fought you and stood up.” (Ray)

Ray launches himself forward straight towards me.

“Fumu. Risking your life? Then I’ll take it without hesitation.” (Arnos)

I thrust my hand into Ray’s stomach and crush his second origin.

Normally you wouldn’t be able to stand up from this much pain but Ray swings Evans Mana down at my shoulder.

“…..Haaa…….!!” (Ray)

I block again with <Beno Ieven> which shatters with a loud sound.

“Third one.” (Arnos)

I squeeze another origin with my right-hand that’s still buried in his stomach.

Ray flinched before closing the gap even more by forcing my hand right through his stomach so I couldn’t grasp another origin.

“….Haaaaaaaa!!” (Ray)

Again Ray swings Evans Mana down and again I block with <Beno Ieven> forcing Evans Mana to bounce off, however, using the force of the recoil Ray changed its trajectory and swung back down at my shoulder.

Fast.

Even though I coated my hand in <Beno Ieven> I didn’t have time to condense it so I switched to my <Demon Eyes of Ruin> and destroyed the magic power of Evans Mana.

“….Fuuu!!!” (Ray)

Evans Mana still pierced through my anti-magic and bit into my right shoulder scattering fresh blood and causing numerous stigmata’s to appear in the wound.

However

“Fourth one.” (Arnos)

After Ray forced my hand through his stomach I managed to withdraw it and stab him in the chest again crushing another origin.

Undaunted, Ray ignores me and digs Evans Mana even deeper into my body.

“I know what you’re up to.” (Arnos)

Covering my left hand in <Beno Ieven> I grasp the blade while Ray puts all his strength into his arms.

With our two powers colliding the grass is blown away and even the trees are knocked down.

The blade I grasped stopped moving.

“Did you think you’d win in a competition of strength now you’ve got a mazoku body?” (Arnos)

“…..Gu….haa…..!” (Ray)

I squeezed my right fist and crushed the fifth origin.

“You’ve only got two left. There’s no way out for you.”

“…….I’ve continued to lose to you….. and it was okay to lose because if I challenged you enough times then a miracle would happen and I’d win.” (Ray)

“Miracles don’t exist.” (Arnos)

No matter how much power Ray puts in Evans Mana doesn’t move.

At close range my <Demon Eyes of Ruin> and <Beno Ieven> have completely suppressed Evans Mana.

This situation can’t last and Ray will run out of energy in his state.

“One left.” (Arnos)

I crushed the 6th origin and blood drips out of Ray’s mouth.

“Retreat. You’re not stupid enough to fight in this condition.” (Arnos)

Once he was down to one origin Kanon always ran away.

Even if it’s impossible now I hope we can connect in the future.

He understood he was the hope of the people and he should never die.

“……Someday there will be peace in the world. That was my wish…… so I ran away. Even though I kept losing I thought I only needed to win once. I believed that was the right thing to do.” (Ray)

Ray stares at me as he talks.

“I was wrong. I was a coward. Right now is someone in front of me who needs help and I won’t wait for that someday to come. I’ll help them now. I want to help the people who are suffering now. If I can’t think like that then I won’t be able to risk my life when that someday arrives!” (Ray)

I’ve heard these words somewhere before. Where was it? Wherever it was they have made him make this decision.

He who has 7 origins and never died is prepared for the end.

“Even if a miracle doesn’t happen I can’t lose today……! If I lose here then someday, to put out those falling sparks you’ll have to kill humans again…..!” (Ray)

A small amount of deaths can save a lot of lives. That’s correct, isn’t it? That’s how I have always done things until now.

As the demon king of tyranny if I hadn’t destroyed that which should be destroyed then I wouldn’t have been able to protect anything.

Ray takes his left hand off Evans Mana.

“I won’t let you do that….. You who more than anyone else…..wanted peace…..!!” (Ray)

The space on the left side of Ray distorted and the unique sword Sigshesta appeared emitting an ominous purple light. The unique sword has become a demon sword that’s condensed its magic to its maximum extent.

“Haaaa!!” (Ray)

Ray swings Sigshesta down against Evans Mana causing a great explosion of light as holy and demonic powers collide and repel each other.

Most of the surrounding trees and myself were blown away.

“Fumu. That was some amazing magic power.” (Arnos)

Ray slowly walks towards me.

On his right is Evans Mana emitting a divine light and on his left is Sigshesta emitting an ominous brilliance.

The lights are both mixing and repelling each other but they are also being controlled to their utmost limits and multiplying each other’s powers.

“So you’ve come this far.” (Arnos)
