Chapter 57

Were you frightened by my bloodl.u.s.t? Emilia trembles while backing away .

“What’s wrong? Is this low born mixed-blood so scary?”

“…… . . Yeah, don’t flatter yourself…………… . I’m not scared!”

While speaking Emilia is falling back while looking for an opportunity to escape .

“Don’t move . ”

When I say that Emilia casts Flight and flew into the sky .

“I said, don’t move . ”

Emilia’s body immediately stopped moving and even manipulating magic became impossible so she crashed back down to the ground .

My words which were filled with anger and magic power carried a compulsion within them . They broke through Emilia’s anti-magic without any difficulty and restrained her body and magic power .

Emilia was still trying to escape but she was no better than a Daruma doll now and could only roll around on the ground shamefully . (1)

I walk slowly over to Emilia and stop .

Her expression was a mixture of humiliation and fear .

“Fumu . ”

I casually grab Emilia by the scruff of her neck and pick her up one-handed .

“………Release me…… . ! What are you doing?”

Ignoring her question I walk over the where the fan union girls have fallen and throw her on the ground .

“…Gah…… . ”

Even though she can’t move Emilia still tries to get away by rolling around on the ground .

“I’m going to play around a bit . It would be best if you remain afraid of me . ”

I approach the fan union girls and activate a magic formation over every one of them .

Looking them over with my demon eyes I can see that all of them are barely breathing .

Activating Healing I heal all their bodies at once then create new clothing for them using Construction Creation .

“…… . . Arnos-sama…… . ”

They slowly wake up and look at me .

Even though I’ve healed their wounds their consciousness are still hazy and they look at me in a daze .

“……We intended to protect your mother…… . . but… . . ”

Did you think you didn’t protect her? She makes a regretful face .

“Let’s hear your name . ”

“Eh……?”

“Your name . What is it?”

“… . . Elen . Elen Mihais……”

I ask the next girl .

“You are?”

“……Jessica Arnet……”

“You?”

“… . . Maia Zemut……”

One after the other I ask all their names .

“Nono Inota . ”

“Shia Minshen . ”

“Himuka Houra . ”

“Casa Krenoa . ”

“Shelia Nijem . ”

“Elen, Jessica, Maia, Nono, Shia, Himuka, Casa, Shelia . ”

I said each name one by one .

“I will remember all your names for the rest of my life . ”

The fan union girls didn’t seem to be able to talk and just started crying silently .

“You should all rest now . ”

Turning around I return to Emilia .

“Now then . Sorry to have kept you waiting . ”

I grab Emilia by the scruff of her neck again .

“… . Wha… . . what are you going to do with me………!?”

“My mother will get worried if I do it here so let’s change places . ”

I used Transfer and after the pure white had faded an Arena appeared before us .

I throw Emilia on the floor and say .

“You may move . ”

I create a demon sword using and throw it towards Emilia where it lodges right next to her head .

“Use it . I’m going to beat you down until your rotten character is fixed . ”

Emilia stood up and turned her gaze to me .

“Don’t look down on me you inept mixed-blood…… . !”

“Hou . You seem energetic . Come . ”

Emilia pulls out the demon sword and slashes me .

As soon as she does an electric current runs down the blade and eats into her body .

“……Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……… . . !!”

Emilia instinctively let’s go and the sword falls to the floor .

“Ku . Kukuku . What was that Emilia? Can’t you handle the demon sword? Weren’t you part of the great royalty?”

Emilia glares at me while grovelling on the floor .

“… . . You inept person, amongst the lowest of the low . So self-important so……gokaa……!!”

I step on Emilia’s head and press it against the floor .

“Watch your mouth Emilia . I am not feeling kind today . ”

Holding my hand out the demon sword rises off the floor and floats to my hand .

“How about begging for your life?”

“……What……?”

“Admit I am the demon king of tyranny . If you do, I might have a change of heart . ”

Anger enters Emilia’s eyes as she speaks to me .

“…… . How laughable . No matter how smart you try to appear you are not the demon king of tyranny . You can’t even become a demon emperor . You are just an inept person of vulgar low birth who—— . ”

I stab my demon sword in her back pinning her to the ground .

“…Ah… . . kafu… . . ”

“I guess I can admire that att.i.tude . Now then, I’ll say it again . Beg for your life . ”

“Who wou——Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

An electric current runs through the blade again causing intense pain for Emilia .

“… . . Haa… . . haa…… . . No matter what you do your blood will never be n.o.ble…… That will not change… . . ”

“Fumu . I don’t really care . By the way, this demon sword is poisonous . It’s a magic tool with some interesting effects . The host body that’s stabbed with this sword becomes a seedbed for a hundred poisonous rice worms that will fight and eat each other . Because they are poisonous, the bigger they get the more pain the host is in and eventually the host’s internal organs will be eaten . ”

“… . Wha… . . aaaa……a………”

“Listen . Can you hear it? The sound of them crawling through your body . ”

“Gyaaa… . . Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…… . Gieeeeeeeeeeeeeee…… . . !!!”

I put more weight on Emilia’s head .

“I’ll teach you another interesting thing as well . When one poisonous rice worm is left it merges with the power of the host . ”

“……………What do you mean…… . . ?”

“Don’t you get it? I mean that you will become the rice worm . It’s a strong curse . You will never be able to revert to your original body . ”

“You……you . . how much of a coward are you? Do you think the prestige of the royal families will be diminished by such an act…… . . !?”

I look down at Emilia .

“Your pain seems to have disappeared Emilia . ”

“…… . Eh?”

“Its evidence that your body is getting closer to merging . ”

Her face turned pale .

“… . . Sto… . . stop……”

“What wrong? You should continue . Something about the n.o.bility of royalty and so on . ”

Emilia leaked a voice while he face was filled with humiliation .

“……… . Please stop it…… . . please……… . ”

“Fumu . I guess you have about a minute left . How is it? The feeling of being reborn?”

“Please! Please stop it!! Please help me!!”

“It’s not that bad actually . You will obtain stronger magic than you have now . You can take revenge on me then . Eh?”

Emilia’s body starts shaking .

“… . You……How cold-blooded are you……!?”

“Ku, kukuku . Hahahahahaha . Cold-blooded? This me?”

I vigorously stamp on Emilia’s face .

“Don’t make me laugh woman . Not after what you did to my mother . ”

Emilia falls silent at my stone-cold voice .

“Now then . It’s about time . ”

I fall silent and wait for the time to pa.s.s .

Looking down at Emilia’s face I can see tears falling non-stop .

“…… . . Under……I understand…… . ”

“What do you understand?”

Emilia forces out a thin voice while gritting her teeth and twisting her face in humiliation .

“……Demon King of tyranny Arnos VoldiG.o.d-sama…… . . Please grant me mercy……”

“I refuse . ”

Emilia begins weeping like a child .

“… . . Lie…… did you lie…… . ? When I begged for my life… . . ”

“I said I might change my mind . I decided not to . ”

Finding no words to say tears come out of her eyes again .

“Five seconds left . ”

Emilia couldn’t speak anymore and just looked in despair .

“Three, two, one . ”

She closes her eyes .

“Zero . ”

There’s no change in the body of Emilia .

Ten seconds pa.s.s, then another twenty and still she remains the same .

She opens her eyes .

“Why… . . ?”

“Kukukuku . Hahahahaha . Haven’t you noticed yet? The poisonous rice worms were a lie . No, actually it was hilarious . Did you think you had received mercy? You can let out a surprisingly modest voice . ”

Emilia’s face dyes red .

“I spared your life . ”

“… . I… . . wont… . . forgive you……… . !!”

Emilia grabs my foot with pure hatred on her face .

“… . . I’ll never forgive you!! No matter how strong you are your power has no n.o.bility! It’s the power of a vile, vulgar mixed race! The disgrace you have given to the royalty here, someday, sometime…… . you’ll regret it… . !! Even if I can’t do it, my child will and if they cant do it their children will and their children and their children . Each generation will bear a grudge against you!!”

“Emilia . ”

I return her glare with tens of times more hatred than she is sending at me .

“It is this me that does not forgive you . Let me teach you the reason I spared your life . ”

I kick Emilia onto her back and thrust my hand into her chest grabbing her heart .

“… . . Ka……ha…… . . ”

“Receive my curse until the end of time . ”

Emilia who was kicking her feet stopped breathing after several seconds and then stopped moving .

“Realise it . Your arrogance . ”

I draw a magic formation on the floor and use Mazoku Training . A girl with brown hair and brown eyes appears on the formation .

The girl opens her eyes and stares at the body of Emilia in surprise .

“I’m dead… . . but this is…… . ?”

I tell the confused looking girl .

“How does it feel being reborn Emilia?”

“What is this? My body…… . My magic power……”

Emilia seems to be unable to hide her surprise at the weakness of her new body .

“… . Like this… . . Do you intend to humiliate me with this magic? With such low born power…………!?”

Laughter leaks deep from within my body .

“Kukukuku . Hahahahahaha . I see . Low born power? This is great . Listen up Emilia . ”

I told her to look down .

“You still think of yourself as royalty?”

“……… . . Eh?”

“I reincarnated you using Reincarnation . I bought you back with the mixed blood of humans and mazoku . Look into your own abyss with your demon eyes . ”

“…… . A lie…… . . ”

Emilia falls to her knees . Her whole body is shaking and she keeps muttering “a lie… . . a lie……” in an incoherent manner .

She keeps checking the blood flowing through her body again and again . There’s no mistake . She’s a mixed-blood no matter how much she looks . Far from royalty, she’s not even a pure mazoku anymore .

Emilia stands up with a crazy look on her face and grabs the demon sword near to her .

“Wrong…… It’s wrong… . . It’s not me . ”

Struggling she strongly puts the blade to her neck .

“You can die Emilia but I’ve cursed your origin . No matter how many times you die, until the end of time, you are cursed to be reborn as a mixed-blood mazoku . ”

Blood flows from Emilia’s neck . The demon sword falls from her hands and clangs to the floor .

“… . . I’ll study this curse……”

“You cannot escape my curse . ”

Did my words crush her hope? Emilia collapses in place .

“………No………… . . No……………………… . ”

Emilia shook her head again and again while her eyes were empty .

“Take a good look at Deiruheido from your new position . You might notice your opinions were unexpectedly biased . ”

“No…………… Such a thing……no…… . . ”

I use to leave this place and as my world dies pure white

“………… . Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo… . !!!!”

A crazy sounding scream rings out .

(1) A daruma doll is a traditional j.a.panese hollow round doll . I’m sure pretty much everyone has seen them before .
