Vol 2 Chapter 9 (2/2)

Demon King Charlemagne who has lived over thirteen thousand years, and king of knights who has lived over thirteen thousand years.

I think at the moment a swordsman closed the distance against a magician, it will be a one-sided battle, but as I guessed, The Great Demon King-sama is the last boss, we can’t do it in ordinary way.

I heard if he wants to do it, he can easily slay ten or twenty dragons.

Well, for me who have Sensei that can destroy earth at my side, he is just the same as an insect though?

Caliburn in right hand, Excalibur in left hand, and even though each of his slash can split the ground, that won’t be possible against a ma.s.s of magical power. The sword of swordsman who devote himself in training for thirteen thousand years can’t reach a magician who only pa.s.sed his life lazily in his bedroom.

That man named himself as an emperor and the ruler of earth by just being born with ma.s.sive magical power.

For thirteen thousand years, Charlemagne rules and grasps over people with that magical power, truly a genuine monster.

So irritating, really irritating.

A mere slash can’t hurt him, just by waving his hand, a lightning strikes the ground.

The one right there isn’t a human, but a fortress.

There’s no way for a person to fight that alone.

However, I didn’t interrupt him.

I don’t want to stain Arthur’s feeling which piled up over thirteen thousand years.

That ma.s.sive and dense lump of magical power, just by being there, he doesn’t allow any sword to attack him.

However, Arthur’s feelings aren’t that shallow to the extent to give up with this.

Arthur just put his over thirteen thousand years of feelings unto his swords and fights continuously.

“Hahaha, how fun! Come to think of it, there’s only a few people who challenged me in this thirteen thousand years. No, the people who challenged are too few. It’s so boring because the battle ended before it even started!! I’m a man. I do understand the aesthetics of battle!! ……However, there’s no one who can fight me, it’s not even a contest for me. Therefore, I’ve always overlooked you, Arthur!! Aah, actually I can capture and make you succ.u.mb at any time!!”

He didn’t even defend himself at all.

Because when a fist hits a lump of iron, the one who would be broken is the fist.

Caliburn and Excalibur are creaking.

No matter how many you look at it, the losing one in this battle is King Arthur.

But, he won’t stop, he can’t be stopped. Yeah, after thirteen thousand years, for the first time he can corner him.

“I have said your evil deeds end today, right!! My sword will reach you!! My sword will definitely reach you!! Without fail!!”

Even towards Arthur’s rage, Charlemagne replies it back with smile.

Explosive flame, thunder, and lumps of ice as big as a mountain, however Arthur dodged, averted, blocked, and parried all of them, avoiding fatal injury.

In the first place, Demon King Charlemagne doesn’t want to kill Arthur.

Like a cat chasing a mouse, no, like a man is happy after making the girl he likes cry, he just indulges himself in s.a.d.i.s.tic pleasure.

Not even a fight, in the first place, he even pointed it out to make it easier to dodge.

As if he’s just playing with his beloved Arthur.

After one hour, after two hours, the sun which should be on top of us, starts to sink to the west, and even when the sky is dyed in evening, that play-like fight doesn’t end at all.

No one would interrupt a fight between warriors. Because it’s just the same as insulting them.

More precisely, there’s no one who can interrupt them.

150,000 soldiers of Frank Empire army have died already, only one monster left.

“After a fight to this extent, you still didn’t give up. From the bottom of my heart, I love that beautiful stubbornness.”

Not even one injury on Charlemagne yet.

And also, not even one injury on Arthur yet.

“Just this? It’s not even half a day yet, you know? Or do you surrender already? If you want to break my heart then even one year or ten years, no, even thirteen thousand years I will take you ooooooooooooooon!!!”

Swinging his Caliburn to that wall of magical power is just like tracing it.

And after that, he received rain of lightning in return.

While rolling in order to avoid it, he stand on ground in order to jump, and he flies in a straight line to pierce with Excalibur.

And, it pierced him.

“……………………………………Argh!?”

The tip of Excalibur pierced Charlemagne’s chest shallowly.

Because he jumped to the back in order to escape from it, it didn’t become a fatal attack. But, certainly the tip of sword reached him.

Even though his blood flows out, it stops immediately with magic.

With a wave of his hand, h.e.l.lfire mowed down everything in its way.

Then he jumps high to the sky, and when both Caliburn and Excalibur traced flashes of light, it engraved cross line on Charlemagne’s chest.

He puked blood, but as I guessed he…… can’t stop the bleeding with magic.

And moreover, Arthur aims his slash towards his limbs, Charlemagne collapsed with his back on the ground……

“Ha-hahahaha, hahahahahahahahahaha!! How beautiful, Arthur!! I never thought I would suffer a defeat!! You’re very beautiful!! Arthur, I love you!!”

While his blood is flowing, Charlemagne is happy and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Not only s.a.d.i.s.t, he is a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t too?

“I have said it! Today, all your evil deeds will come to end!!”

While Charlemagne is laying on the ground, Arthur look at him with the eyes full of anger.

He was a hero.

“I give up, it’s my loss. ……Arthur, if my life will be taken by you, I think it’s great!! It’s a form of love too!!”

He’s happy even towards his death, huh, that Demon King Charlemagne.

Because of that, I have prepared for this.

Then now!! A man who can’t read the atmosphere, the flat-faced baron will take his appearance!!

Between King Arthur and Demon King Charlemagne, I interrupt in without reading the atmosphere!

“Okay! I will introduce myself here!! I’m the one honored as the ugliest in Highland Kingdom!!”

Yeah, I think it’s an awful introduction even though I’m the one who said that, and certainly I’m literally like that, so it’s not rude…….it is rude.

More precisely, I have searched it on Gooogle-sensei, I’m certainly a man with appearance Charlemagne hates the most.

Well, after I have helped King Arthur, he should give me something, right?

“Ka-Karl? That ugl……No, what! Who is he?”

“Yes, I’m a dedicated executioner for you, Demon King Charlemagne, and I was called the special executioner!!”

[TLNote: this line is weird in english since karl said half of it in katakana. The first executioner and the special is in katakana. And he might be referencing the film Boondock Saints since he used the j.a.panese name of it for the second executioner. スペシャルな処刑人]

I smiled broadly. Pendragon is a free being.

Looks like the fact that Demon King-sama is extremely fond of beautiful things is true, because he hates my face to the extent of puking after seeing it.

According to Sensei’s investigation, the thing he hates the most is an executioner with a nauseating face and glistering club in hand, it’s rude to him, you know?

[TL Note: either a kind of reference, or a d**do]

“It’s not like King Arthur’s, but I have a quite deep resentment towards Charlemagne-sama, and I’m not that kind to let you be killed happily by the hands of the beautiful King Arthur. So please, can you leave Charlemagne’s last moment to me?”

I can’t let that Great Hero King Arthur to do this inhumane deed.

However, he has to give this task to me as a reward because I have helped him in many things like Adamandight and the rest.

“I lent Adamandight equipment, gave a hand with my light and sound support, and even lent my dragon. And, I’m not a va.s.sal of Highland Kingdom. Only a mere mercenary, so I demand you to let me give Charlemagne the most tragic and cruel death as my share. If you claim you would’ve won even without my help, you’re free to refuse.”

The Great Demon King Charlemagne is s.h.i.+vering like a child, he appeals to King Arthur.

“I understand. It’s regrettable, but I’m greatly indebted to Karl-dono. It won’t be enough to repay it, but I will leave Charlemagne to you. It’s regrettable that I can’t kill him with my own hands, but it can’t be helped.”

He wanted to kill him with his own hands, but when the opponent is happy like that, it won’t extinguish his rage. And it won’t be a revenge for his dead comrades.

He has something more befitting for him, that is a death full of tragedy and cruelty, and everyone in this place wants it to be like that.

However, everyone in this place has a pride as a warrior, so they can’t choose to do that.

So, I took that role, only that.

Well well, it’s the start of extremely easy nasty deed!!

“S-Stop, please stoooooop!! Arthur! Arthur, please kill meeeee!! The beautiful you, please kill meeeeeee!!

Of course, that wish won’t come true.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Happily ever after.
