Chapter 110 - 103: Leaving Without A Word (1/2)
”H-How?” The Demon Emperor muttered while kneeling down in pain. Statics of yellow arcs would appear around his body every now and then, evident of Hiroshi's paralysis.
”It's simple, it's because you're weak. Did you really think that you could beat a Tier 15 such as me? How delusional.” Hiroshi said with contempt. Yes, he became a Tier 15 in just less than a month or so. Hikaru trained him in the harshest way possible, to him at least, and had him kill a bunch of powerful monsters; such as the King of Basilisks.
With Cristoff, he just became a Tier 12 Warrior, so it was quite a difficult fight since The Beast King is also a Tier 12 Warrior. But in the end, he beat him thanks to the weapon given to him by his Majesty.
Warriors are people who use any kind of melee weapon, like a sword or a dagger. Assassins fall into the category of a warrior.
Both of the monarchs were on the ground, defeated. They didn't think that other humans were able to get this strong, even the former King of Humans wasn't this strong.
Hiroshi looks down at the defeated form of the Demon Emperor and asked, ”Demon Emperor, is it true that you have an item that could transfer me back to my world?”
”H-Hehehe, you must've gone crazy. I don't have anything like that, and even if I did, I won't give it to you.” The Demon Emperor sat up and looked at Hiroshi with steeled eyes, ”Kill me now, isn't that what you heroes are supposed to do?”
”Hmph, don't lump me in with those fools. I'm not like them.” Hiroshi said as he turned around, and walked away from the defeated Demon Emperor.
The Dog Demon simply laughed at his own miserable self. Even that guy deems him too weak to be killed. How shameful, truly.
He turned his head to look at Hikaru, who's comfortably sitting in mid-air, and said, ”You, why do you not kill us so? I've been defeated by your subordinates, so as per our deal, you can kill me and my men now.”
Hikaru did not look at him as he spoke, ”Heh, I'm not going to. It's a waste to kill all of you. You see, the guy you just fought, Hiroshi, is going to become the King of my Kingdom in a few days.”
”What's that gotta do with me?” The dog demon asked.
”You are going to be there for him, no, not just you but your entire Kingdom will help him achieve his goals. To kill the goddess, Deagaia.” Hikaru said while floating in mid-air.
The mutt demon laughed at the ridiculity of this situation, ”Hahahahaha! To attempt to kill the goddess is simply ridiculous, but I have no choice, do i?”
”Of course you don't.” Hikaru simply said. Truthfully, he can kill the goddess anytime he wants, but he will leave that to Hiroshi. He already gave him a bunch of god slaying equipment that would surely help him kill that miserable goddess. While he dislikes that goddess, he also doesn't hate her. After all, every living being has done something unforgivable. Even he, himself has done many unforgivable things, it's just that he's more powerful than most people.
Hikaru, with a snap of his fingers, canceled all the borgs that he used to imprison all of those soldiers. He then said to the Demon Emperor, ”Mutt, leave my land along with your buddy, the Beast King, and only come back when I, or Hiroshi, orders you to. Leave now, don't test my patience.”
And leave he did. He and his soldiers retreated, along with the Beast King, but not before picking up the corpses of their fallen comrades. This was a huge blow to their morals and military strength. But even then they only had themselves to blame. Humans are indeed bad but that doesn't mean they aren't bad too.
All living beings are bad in some way, it's just that humans are smarter and wiser than most species in existence. Because of that, they become cunning, then their pride and greed takes over them, believing that they are superior to others. But that goes the same for demi-humans and demons. They aren't that much different, except for a few things.
And so, the war ended in less than an hour. Hikaru wanted to give the crown to Hiroshi immediately, he's losing interest in this world. And besides, Hiroshi is already strong enough to defend this Kingdom on his own. And along with Cristoff, they'll be invincible. The only problem is the heroes, they are getting too bold for their own good.
Hikaru has to take care of them soon, or they'll be a thorn on Hiroshi's side once he takes the crown.
And so, the next day, he demanded them in his throne room.
All of the heroes were kneeling in front of him, but he can tell that they really hated him to the bone. Right now, this is where they die.
”Do you all know why I summoned you all here? Heh, what am I saying? Of course you don't, weaklings like you people are too dumb to comprehend my greatness.” He was just riling them up with all this trash talk.
