“Chapter 191: Predator”

– Kouya, is that… (Takaya)

– Yes. It’s from my warehouse.

– I thought only the demon king was allowed to use weapons from the storage. (Mumuruu)

As Mumuruu said, the warehouse is only accessible to either the demon king or Kouya.

I didn’t want to think about it, but is it possible that…

– Did the sword eat one of the previous demon kings?

– Seems like it. This is gonna be a pain. Mary!

– Did you call, master?

The head of a ghost maid appeared from a small portal.

– I need you to bring me that. As soon as possible.

– Understood. Are you sure?

– Dead sure.

Mary’s figure disappeared after nodding at both of us.

– What is “that“? (Takaya)

– A personal favorite of mine. I don’t know if I’ll actually use it, but just in case.

A Level VII weapon can’t scratch Seventh. Is Kouya hiding something even stronger?

– Haha, already down to your trump card? (Seventh)

– Yeah. Thank you for waiting. I was thinking about how to dispose of your corpse.

– I will eat you along with every single human.

– Try me.

Kouya and Seventh clashed again.

Realizing that using weapons from the warehouse is futile, Kouya tried using magic against both of Seventh’s swords.

– Nghh…

– IS THAT IT!? COME ON, KID.

Seventh was quickly managing to overwhelm Kouya.

– What’s wrong with him? Even without a weapon, he’s usually much stronger than this… (Mumuruu)

I was wondering why Kouya’s movements looked sloppy.

The answer is Septe. Her body is still there, just taken over by Seventh.

– Don’t tell me you’re worried about this pitiful body. She’s just a marionette to me.

Every time Seventh moves at extraordinary speed, the sound of Septe’s body ripping apart can be heard. Her skin might be reinforced on the outside, but her insides are still the same.

– Please… Save her… (Raviola)

– Tch… (Kouya)

Even if Kouya has spent however long as a demon, he was originally a human, just like me and Septe. He would normally be able to go toe to toe with Seventh, but some of his remaining humanity is holding him back.

– Hahaha! It’s hilarious how f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g stupid you are. ALL OF YOU!

Seventh finally landed a hit on Kouya. His magic barely managed to defend him, but even then, it was the first time I saw Kouya’s face retort in pain.

– Kouya!

– I’m fine. Just a scratch.

This is bad. And it’s only going to get worse.

Even if Septe is still in there, we’ll have to-

– Ahh… It hurts… Raiora-saa… Eri… Erg… Rotta… Help me… Please, it hurts… (Septe?)

– … (Kouya)

– What do you think? Pretty cool impression, eh? Hahaha! (Seventh)

Kouya, the demon who couldn’t care less about the living beings in this world other than Tilchina, was projecting his animosity towards Seventh.

– …You crossed the line. (Kouya)

The magic surrounding him made the nearby grass and flowers wither as if a thousand years had passed in a second.

– Finally getting serious, huh? Should’ve done that from the start.

– DO NOT SPEAK ANYMORE.

Kouya disappeared, not using any magic, but by raw speed.

– STOP! (Takaya)

However, he was caught before I was able to calm him down.

– You f̲u̲c̲k̲e̲d̲ up, kid. I win. (Seventh)

– !? *Cough* (Kouya)

Seventh’s sword arm came out of his own shadow and stabbed Kouya in the heart.
