Chapter 56 (1/2)

The audience starts a commotion at Maou’s transformation.

「T, this is bad! Everyone, quickly escape! That is father’s last stand form! But, he loses his reasoning in it, he is going to kill indiscriminately!」

With one of Maou’s sons’ shout, the audience starts screaming in panic.

But, the entrance is narrow, it’s not easy to evacuate. Also, given Maou’s terrifying fighting spirit, there are many unconscious people.

「Garuaaaa!」

「Hii……」

Maou leaps at one of the spectators.

He could only sit in place with a pale face because of fear.

「Your opponent is me, right?」

「……!?」

I drive a knee to Maou’s head just a moment before he could pierce the spectator with his fangs.

「Urugaa!」

Maou changes his target to me with an angry roar.

He swings his sharp-clawed forepaw at me. I evade it by jumping in the air, but I had an unpleasant feeling, so I immediately dodged to the side.

Five sharp cracks appear in the ring.

He swings his forepaw again, and another five cracks appear.

It seems that Maou can shoot the fighting spirit in his claws through the air.

Because he can shoot ten times at once, I try to avoid through the gaps.

But, if I keep on dodging, the spectators won’t have a chance.

The audience seats are torn apart, and several spectators got already involved.

「Oioi, cherish your citizens」

「Garuaaaa!」

I caution him, but as expected, he completely lost his reason.

I don’t have a choice, but to stop him forcibly.

「Ora」

I avoid the claws through a gap, approach Maou and kick his face.

Furthermore, I hammer several punches into his abdomen and finally roundhouse kick his a.s.s.

「? It didn’t work……?」

Although each hit was enough to make him lose consciousness, Maou counterattacked immediately as if there was no damage.

Indeed, his body’s defensive powers increased to the point his bipedaling form can’t even compare.

But, even still, he should have received considerable damage from that.

「Is his sense of pain turned off? No, that’s not all」

I examine him with〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉and find that the damage he received is being regenerated at a tremendous rate.

The regeneration speed is so high that even my〈Pinnacle of Survival〉can’t compare.

Rather, a demon king with restoration ability is impossibly hard to beat in video games.

「Papa!」

「What are you doing!?」

「But, there should be something we can do to return him back to the normal form…… right」

「No, once he’s in that form, it will take a full day for him to return back ssu yo! At this rate, the city will get destroyed ssu!」

Touga shouts with a sorrowful expression.

「In other words, it’s a double-edged sword, huh. Does he desire to destruct this city himself?」

「T, this city already fell into a grave situation once father becomes Maou, though……」

One of the Maou’s sons answers my question.

Then, I will have to make Maou return back personally.

There’s one thing that regeneration can’t recover from…… and that is death.

Although Maou, he is the ruler of this city. There’s a risk that the balance between the four demon kings will collapse.

「Can’t be helped…… Advanced Magic〈High Pressure〉」
