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 naïveness.

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 naïve 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 naïve 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.
