There was a person looking up at what was once the Demon King’s Castle.

A large muscular build.

Wearing pants made with the leather of something, they donned metal armor on their upper half.

If someone else were to look at them, they could probably tell that both pieces of equipment kept strong magical power within them.

They had short cut red hair, and similarly red powerful eyes.

While rubbing his stubble, the man fearlessly smiled.

A few days ago, enormous flames rose up from these ruins.

There was no doubt that it was something done by some sort of magic.

Although it wasn’t like it could be seen by those in the far off distance, at the very least, the ones that made the vicinity of the Demon King’s Castle their base gazed at that with surprise.

The Demon King’s Castle──Though it has turned into ruins, it is the castle of the Demon King who is the summit of the Mazoku.

The fact that someone was living there was an act that declared that they were the Demon King as well as, putting it simply, something similar to saying that the other Mazoku should obey them.

If they were an aggressive Majin, they would immediately go to pick a fight, and in fact, in the past, there were many Majin proclaiming to be the Demon King that were crushed just like that.

In the past thirty years or so, that sort of thing didn’t happen but……there was yesterday’s fireball.

Possessing an interest in what kind of idiot would go as far as making such a demonstration, the man──The red haired Majin thus came to the Demon King’s Castle.

Finally arriving at the Demon King’s Castle’s front door, the red haired Majin expressed a look of surprise.

At both sides of the door, there were two figures of black armored knights. This was his first time seeing such things.

「……Fumu?」

The Demon King and the Hero, it was said that they could use magic to confirm their opponent’s abilities, but Majin were unable to use such magic.

However, if his expectations were correct, the armored knights should be an armor-type monster called Magic Operated Armor.

When the two black Magic Operated Armors sighted the figure of the red haired Majin, they stood with their swords and shields readied as if to block the door.

「I see. It doesn’t look like they’re just some punk that doesn’t know their place.」

As he tried to put his hand on the large axe that he carried on his back, he desisted from doing it.

It was improbable, but there was also the 10000 to 1 chance of it.

Breaking them, wouldn’t be very good.

「In that case……I guess I’ll jump.」

Looking at it, the barrier that covered the former Demon King’s Castle had yet to be prepared.

And then, the Demon King’s Castle that crumbled here and there was full of holes.

Probably, if the targeted party was putting on airs as the Demon King, they were probably in the throne room.

「And here……we, go. Make this interesting for me.」

Stepping back a few steps, he dashed──and right in front of the highly viligant Magic Operated Armors, he instantly leaped up.

*Zun* It was a thunderous sound that shook the ground.

The leap that used all of that excessively enormous power moved his body straight to his intended location.

「Ahh……So it’s that.」

Jumping up to a floor that seemed to be the throne room, what was reflected in his eyes as he stood on top of a collapsed wall was a single man and a single woman.

Since the woman was clearly a Maid Knight going by her appearance, the one that was claiming to be the Demon King was probably the man.

First was the attack.

When he kicked off the wall, he decided to see the man’s aspects by keeping that momentum and plunging in with a dropkick.

See the man’s aspects……Though he thought that, there was enough power that if it were something like a Goblin that was hit, they would explode into pieces. As expected, he could be considered to have gone too far, but if it was some fool that didn’t know his place that was calling himself the Demon King that would be killed with only this amount of power, then that’s just how far he could go.

Thinking that, he plunged in without killing his momentum.
