Chapter 36

Chapter 36


“… . . I can’t believe it…… . Gaius-sama, one of the old seven demon emperors was handled like a child…… . ”


“… . . Just now……it wasn’t even a match……”


“…Maybe what Arnos is saying… . . is true… . . ? Maybe he really is the Demon King of Tyr—”


“Oi! What stupid c.r.a.p are you saying!! No matter how strong he is, he’s not a royal . An inept person can’t be the demon king!!”


“That’s right . Neither wisdom nor power is important . It’s the n.o.ble blood that flows through our bodies . Don’t forget the pride of the royalty who inherited the blood of the founder . He’s just a strong inept person . His power isn’t n.o.ble . ”


Such joke like lines come from the audience seating .


Though the founder’s power as been witnessed it’s turned into a joke . Is this the aim of Avos Dillheavia as well?


If you do take over my position what do you intend to do? If they’re a petty person who’s only after power then I don’t need to worry but what is their aim if not?


“Kuukuukuu . ”


I heard laughter coming from Izel so I looked over . (1)


“Is that the last one? It was pretty clever of you to throw them but you’ve got none left . ”


I looked around and indeed, all the swords stuck in the arena are gone . The only one left is the one in Ray’s hand .


If he meets Izel’s double swords his sword will shatter in an instant .


If you think normally, that person would look defeated but Ray doesn’t .


What’s he going to do? Let’s watch .


“Well then . Shall I do it normally from now on?”


After muttering to himself he heads straight towards Izel in a dignified manner .


“Hmph, have you finally prepared yourself? I’ll teach a little s.h.i.t like you that swords are not something to throw . Come . Let me show you how to properly use a demon sword . ”


Izel and Ray face each other .


All that remains between them is a half step .


In an exchange of blows Ray should be overwhelmed, however, he casually takes that half step forward .


“Careless behaviour . ”


The twin swords moved .


Both Izel’s arms moved like separate creatures . The blade of flame heads towards Ray’s head while the blade of ice heads towards his chest .


If he dodges the flame blade then he’s open to the ice blade .


Towards the certain kills coming his way, Ray raises the sword in his right hand .


“There . ”


The sounds of swords clashing are heard .


“Two . ”


“………… . !?”


A grimm expression appears on Izel’s face .


Ray’s sword brushed off Izel’s double blades .


Even though Ray had the ability to intercept the two swords, the more surprising thing was that the sword in his hand was still intact . By all rights, Ray’s sword should have been destroyed by either the flame blade or the ice blade .


“……Oooh… . !”


Izel swings his swords again .


The sound of swords rang again and Ray easily brushed them off .


“Four . ” Ray mutters .


“… . What are you doing little boy… . ?”


*Gakii* swords sound again .


“Five . ”


“……Tch……this then……!”


The next moment Izel doubles his speed and then even more the next .


Ray brushes off innumerable blows and still his sword is fine .


“Eighty seven . ”


“That…… . How can you defend yourself with that poor demon sword? What trick are you using!?”


*Gagagagaga* *Kikikikikiki* The sound of swords rang out incessantly .


“I see . Every time Izel deflected those swords Ray was throwing his swords got small nicks on their blades . The chips themselves don’t mean much on their own but when added up they stop the swords from using their full power . Doing that means you’ve tied them down a bit huh?”


“…… . Such a…… You aimed to chip my blades while I brushed those swords off at high speed……!? Being able to do such a thing…… . . !!”


If I wanted to be more accurate Ray was aiming at the exact same spot on each blade when he threw the demon swords .


He controlled the power, angle and aim to a hairsbreadth to hit the exact same spot on each blade . Doing that many times over, even the demon swords will accrue damage .


“I didn’t say anything as revealing my secret would become disadvantageous . ”


Ray says without appearing to be worried .


“Plus it was a handicap . ”


Izel moves back and fixes his stance .


“……Apparently, I’ve made light of you little boy . From here on I won’t hold back…… . ”


Magic formations appear on Izel’s hands .


Flames rise from the demon sword Zess and ice covers the blade of Ides .


“This is the true form of . Prepare yourself!”


Izel’s figure blurs and the next moment he steps forward swinging his blades at high speeds .


200 consecutive attacks in 1 second . There’s no gap for Ray to escape the fire and ice flying at him .


“……Fuu……!”


Ray breathes out and his sword flashes . Each flash equals the flashes from Izel’s swords .


“Four hundred and forty two . ”


“…Wha… . . ? How… . . ? It should have been useless trying to aim for the chips……”


Doesn’t seem like Ray intends to answer so I answer instead .


“It’s easy . Ray’s sword isn’t touching your swords at all . He’s deflecting your blows with just pressure from his swings . ”


“It’s quite difficult though . ” Ray says with a cool face “I can only fight your twin swords using sword pressure . ”


After Ray’s statement that sounded regretful Izel looks at Ray with a face full of anger .


“In that case, how long can your tightrope walk last! Show it to me!!”


Izel’s swords glitter and Ray brushes them off .


“Your sword style is certainly amazing but hows your stamina? I can go on for a century at this ra—”


Izel’s words are cut off .


The blades of flame and ice shattered with their tips flying thought he air before lodging in the ground .


“… . . My double swords…… . . broke…… . ”


“Four hundred and forty four . That’s pretty much what I estimated . ”


I wondered if that is what he was counting . The number of blows before the twin swords broke .


“By the way . ” Ray says with a cool look “When are you going to teach me how to use a demon sword?”


Ray has a refreshing smile on his face but Izel shrinks back as if feeling fear .


Izel turns my way as if to ask for help but finally notices that I’d won too .


“… . After all…… who are you guys…… . ? There’s never been anyone who could treat us old seven demon emperors like children……” Izel says while bowing his head .


I turned my eyes towards Ray .


“Ray . Were you holding back?”


“Not at all . ”


“Drop the modesty . With your power, you could have crossed blades without them breaking . ”


Ray puts on a cool smile and answers .


“If I’d done that then I wouldn’t have been able to practise . ”


“Hou?”


“I wondered if it was possible to break those swords using only skill and no magic . Only at the end, I managed it . I’ve still got a long way to go . ”


Kukuku . Yare yare . He’s a funny guy .


You used one of the old seven demon emperors as a training partner .


How interesting . By any means, I want to see how deep his power goes .


“Come at me seriously tomorrow . ”


Without breaking his smile Ray answers


“What do you mean?”


“If you try and practise against me you will die . ”


“If possible, I’d like to ask that I not die . ”


An easygoing answer as ever .


“Whatever, do as you like . ”


“I’ll survive then . ”


I couldn’t help but laugh before answering .


“You make me want to get serious . ”


After looking at me with a blank expression Ray laughed as well .


“Arnos-kun…… . you’re a bit of a s.a.d.i.s.t aren’t you?”


“What are you on about? There’s no mazoku more gentle than me . ”


“Well, I’d appreciate it if you went easy on me . ”


“Ha . Don’t say stupid things . Your body isn’t saying that . ”


He’s not as dissatisfied as he’d have us believe .


He’s not warlike but he definitely doesn’t dislike fighting otherwise he wouldn’t practise the sword so much .


“At any rate, I’m hungry after this bit of exercise . ”


“The cla.s.srooms empty . Want to go back to cla.s.s and eat?”


“Is that okay?”


“It’s fine . We’ll sneak off . ”


“Roger . Sneaky is it?”


While chatting away we leave the barrier with all the students watching us .


“… . Nee . Hang on a sec . You both easily defeated two of the old seven demon emperors so what’s with this everyday life feeling? Why are you sneaking off to eat…… . ?”


As usual, Sasha is complaining about something or another .


(1) Not a mistake . The author appears to have changed his name from Idol . I just checked in case it was me but it was Idol all last chapter and now its Izel .
