Leons Feelings

210

The battle between Leon and Kazaream continues for a full day and night.

She was not only calling herself as Great Demon Lord for nothing as Kazaream
possess an overwhelming amount of energy incomparable to before.

Even after fighting for a long time, she doesnt show any sign of tiredness.

Meanwhile, Leon and Mizari are also the same, but even though the two people
are fighting together, they were still toyed by Kazaream.

But, the reason why Leon can still continue fighting was because Kazaream is
going easy on him.

Leon noticed this and grinded his teeth.

()

Will I meet my end here? so Leon asks himself.

If that is inevitable, then so be it. Since he himself had lived so far by trampling
on the weak.

Therefore, when he think that its his turn come, he can accept it obediently.

But, will he really fine with it?

He searched for Chloe and for this objective, he didnt mind any sacrifice.

He even learn summoning magic himself, and had summoned several people on
his own selfishness.

One of them is Claude, and the another one is the girl who suffered burns.

Claude vows vengeance to Leon and challenged him over and over again. Before
they realized, his attempt for revenge turned over and the two mutually
recognize each other.

Leon thinks that hes selfish and didnt care about others expectations. Thats
natural.

Otherwise, he may not be able to survive in this harsh world, because its dream
within a dream for him to find and protect the girl that may be said as his only
reason for living.

Therefore, he thought that it cant be helped for him to be resented, but he

cruelly cut down the weak.

Thats Leons way of life, the reason why he cant be a Hero in the truest
meaning even though he was awakened as a Hero.

Human is a creature who have a hard time to understands another persons

mind. They lived without showing anyone their own mind. Therefore, the desire
of wishing to understand Leons feelings, there was no one even if he wished for
it.

A person like Claude is an exception among exception.

Therefore, he think that for people whom he summoned selfishly, they had the
right to have a revenge against him.

He saw the Silver Knight Alrose fell down on the corner of his eyes.

Moderate Clown Troupe is a gathering of hedonists. They fight against anyone by

a request without any principles.

Kazaream gathered such people may be due him been warped by his defeat in
his fight against Leon.

It reach the point where he show an obstinate obsession for Leon and rolled up
his subordinates to do various harassment.

The reason why Clayman act hostile toward Leon could be traced back to
Kazareams obsession.

Regardless of their appearance, they were once Kazareams companions. They

wouldnt be weak.

No one would think that the devil called Footman with a body that fat could
toyed Alrose around with his quick movement.

Alroses swordsmanship was top class, but because hes a master of proper
swordsmanship, hes weak against irregular attacks.

His weakness was seen through in no time and would receive a blow.

If he didnt gain the power of Demon Duke class, he would be dead because of
the blow just now.

Thanks to the fact that he became a half spiritual lifeform, even if he receive
injury to the extent of having a part of his body blown off, it would recovered in
an instant. But, he might not able to continue this for a long time.

Because its clear that Footman surpassed him in ability.

The combination of Yellow Knight Kizna and White Knight Maetel fought well
against the girl-like devil called Tear.

So, it may be said that theyre putting up a good fight. Because they are still
alive.

In ability, Tear surpasses the two overwhelmingly. If Tear fight them individually,
she would reaped their life immediately.

The pair was somehow still alive thanks to the demons power they gained and
their combination.

In the first place, Maetel cant master the demons power at all.

As she was a user of Holy Magic, she has a bad affinity with it due to the source
of the demons power is dark power.

Various applications were possible depending on the usage method, but

unfortunately she didnt have enough experience.

Thanks to the defensive power of Kizna, they feel like they can get over Tears
attack somehow by being devoted to a defensive fight.

It seemed that it was a matter of time before it be broken.

()()

And the biggest problem was Laplace.

Hes strong, too strong.

Hes undoubtedly the strongest class.

Although he doesnt seem to possess any Ultimate Skill, it wont be weird if he

will master the ability once he acquired it.

Hes still have leeway even when the strongest knight among Leons
subordinate, the Black Knight Claude and the Red Knight Fran were his opponent
at the same time.

()

()()

Ha. Give up, that feint is obvious.

Woops, danger danger. That just now almost hit me. But, bad luck!

Oh, oh my? Perhaps, it already ended?

He crack jokes with such feeling, doing an easy attack while provoking Claude
and Fran repeatedly.
As one would expected, the two people didnt get provoked.

But, as Laplaces aim is to make fun of the two, theres no sigh that he will
stopped his provocation.

Even if it didnt disturb the twos feelings nor hindering the twos thoughts,
Laplaces disturbing words seems to show an effect.

In addition to it, Laplaces attack is not out of ordinary, but the damage seems to
be gradually accumulated, it can perceived from the movement of Claude and
Fran which gradually became duller.

This devil Laplace is a troublesome opponent, originally hes a powerful enemy

Leon would be the one who faced it.

It might be said that the situation was very bad.

Putting such a situation in view, Leon continues asking himself.

Claude comes to follow Leon, the number of companions also begins to increase,
and before he aware, Leon become a Demon Lord.

He united the oppressed demi-humans, small and weak demon race[1] and
made a place for them to live in peace inside the Great Jura Forest.

This is because taking control of a domain by force is easy to establish a new

country,

His purpose is to gather information.

He only wanted people who investigated information to became his hands and
feet.

He protects them with his strength and they work for Leon to realize his wish.
On such give and take relationship, a subordinate-superior relationship was run.

He built a castle in the territory of the Demon Lords and based in there. And then
he sent his subordinates to various place and collected information about Chloe.

It was at that time that he repulsed Kazaream. If he think about it, that was the
start of their connection.

The situation wont be like this if he dealt the decisive blow properly at that time.

It was the same when he fight Yuuki, Leon ridiculed himself cause he still nave.

He discovered a new continent afterwards and spent his time to built the current
El Dorado. When he found Chloe, he wanted to prepare a country where shell be
able to live in peace.

Therefore it was necessary to protect the people who lived in the country.

Leon gradually came to think about the people who follow him and the people
under his protection, not just about himself.

He cant jeopardize the country which he created with so much efforts.

For such reason, he decided to appropriate Kazareams castle inside the Great
Jura Forest as his cover.

He cant helped but to use it as his first castle was destroyed in his battle with
Kazaream, but unexpectedly it wasnt bad.

It was really suitable as a test site where he test out various magic, Leon
performed various experiments in this castle.

Because the Great Jura Forest became a sanctuary where people who feared
Veldora wont dare to enter, it was helpful to avert the other demon lords eyes
from him.

()

And, it was in this castle where he done the last summon.

The girl who summoned answering Leons request was suffering major burns and
dying.

He was able to save her life with recovery magic. However, she will only die
because she was too young and when she crossed the boundary of the world her
magic essences goes amok.

Then it would be better for him to let her die this way, but it might be better to
make her suffering prolonged. Thinking so, Leon interest in the girl.

But,

elp, please help

The girl said so, Leon saw the strong Will to not give up in her eyes and extended
his hand to the girl.

And then he notice her high compatibility to flame and recalled the existence of
the high-ranking spirit thats Ifrit.

Theres perhaps a possibility of compatibility, but if it fails Ifrit will disappear too.

But

Because he only took it from Ramiris in a fit of anger before, it wont be painful
to lost it.

The girl survived splendidly.

Then, against himself who summoned her into this world without permission, the
girl have the right for a revenge.

If the girl named Shizue Izawa was going to kill him, he would accepted it directly
from the front.

At the time the strongest and famous Hero attacked, it was for such reason that
he left without hesitating.

As he might be defeated by the Hero.

But, the Hero will surely save the girl who is a former human. He had such
prediction.

( )

After all, unlike the failure the likes of him, who was only strong, she was called
as the True Hero, the strongest title in the history.

If he thought about it, if he had met the Hero there, he might have been able to
realize that shes Chloe.

But, it didnt happen.

Ironically, one came from the other side, while the other one missed the other by
running away.

(What am I trying to do..)

Leon blows out a sigh.

Kazareams attack is harsh without cutting any corners. It would be nave for him
to think that he can deal with it while hes in deep thoughts.

However, even so

"
"

Leon-oniichan, you had searched for me the whole time right.

Ehehe. You see I always want to meet you too.]

He was finally able to meet her the other day.

With Chloe who he searched all this time.

She seemed to be fine. But, because of the curse, she doesnt seem to be able to
act freely currently.

Still,

You see, Rimuru-sensei had promised me that he will surely saved me.

I believe in Sensei.

The Sensei who received Shizu-sensei, Shizu-sans feelings and saved us!

Chloe said so with straight eyes.

The girl whom Leon saved whimsically seemed to follow a strange fate and
ended up as Chloes teacher.

On the contrary, she met Demon Lord Rimuru and led him to Chloe.

It will be an unbelievable story to say that all of it is by coincidence.

If he didnt save Shizue Izawa, perhaps Chloe would be dead due to the magic
essence rampage.

If you think about it so, then all the things that he have been doing all this time is
not for vain or so he think.

No, he might only want to think so.

However, even so

He was able to meet with Chloe again in this way. Then it was enough.

(Therefore, have I been satisfied with it? To the extent I accepted my death?)

Chloe has someone named Rimuru who she can rely on.

Even if hes gone, he can entrust her in ease.

But, is he fine with that?

( )

Hes conscious that he never did anything in his life that he can be proud of, but
Leon thought that he cant afford to left everything to Chloe and ended up doing
nothing.

Besides, he cant give up if Demon Lord Rimuru that Chloe believed was killed.

(I dont think that guy will be killed so easily though......)

He cannot help but to say that hes still nave by having such thoughts.

In the first place, he cannot left his important Chloe to such worthless guy.

(Ffu. I still have a long way to go. Its not in my character to easily given up.)

Leon who was blown off and thrown to the ground, calmly stood up.

His eyes is serene as his hesitation is cleared up, his body overflowed with
energy.

Leon remembered the meaning to fight and regained his unbroken will.

Looking at Leon who stood up, Kazaream knit her eyebrows.

She snickered as she would torment him after he completely broke Leons pride.

Apparently, Leons mind didnt seem to be broken yet

Hey hey, did you get scared of dying suddenly?

You who cant match me, you wont able to do anything even if you stood up!

Kazaream speaks in sickening womens tone in spite of her body which already
turned into a stubborn man.

However, it didnt like her sex has changed; it can be say that the only change is
that her body had been optimized.

After all, her voice still remains that of a female elf.

Leon stares at Kazaream while thinking that her voice is unpleasant.

His Ultimate SkillPurity Lord Metatronis the ultimate power of holy attribute.

But, Kazareams Ultimate SkillDominion Lord Melchizedekis a ultimate power

with both attributes of holy and demonic.
Therefore, all Leons attacks are counterbalanced and hell only suffers damage
from the power which exceed his.

Its not about affinity or anything, only that his ability is completely inferior to
Kazareams ability.

For example, he might be able to seal her if he used Triangle Pyramid.

()()

()()

()

But, even if he honestly try to seal her, it was bound to be avoided.

Moreover, theres a possibility that even his strongest sealing technique may be
broken in the worst case. After all, its an absolute sealing barrier against
demonic attribute, but Kazaream also have the holy attribute.

This side might receive a fatal attack in the gap when he try it carelessly.

(Shes a troublesome opponent.)

Leon thinking about the means to fight Kazaream while handling her attacks
calmly.

Leon-sama, do you have a good plan?



Mizari asked.

I have none. Youre the same too arent you? All demonic attributed attacks
would be nullified wont them?

Mizari is in the same situation as Leon, all her attacks are counterbalanced and
she received damage from the excess energy.

She seemed to begin to do some makeshift attacks, but everything is pinned

down by Kazareams power.

Naturally, all magic was nullified. Thats natural, since magic doesnt work
against Ultimate Skill.

Yes. Its very troublesome as she has the ability with both attribute of holy and
demonic.

Moreover, its not just that.

Kazareams energy when converted into magic essence, seems to be more than
3 times than mine.

()

It was a hopeless number.

Right now, Mizari is equal to Leon, as she has become an awakened Demon Lord
class. Her energy also greatly increases.
But, Kazaream has a three times more energy compared to Mizari.

Comparing it with himself, Leon estimated that Kazareams energy[2] to be a

little less than 3 times of his.

Spiritual power to handle the energy of pure light. That source become the
aggregate amount of the holy aura which become energy but even in that
energy, Kazaream is above those people.

As in the performance of the ability and the quantity of energy.

That doesnt mean that she has 6 times power than them if holy and magic
combined.

She simply changing the energy with her ability.

Thats why, shes more troublesome. In a word, it means she completely put the
ability under control.

Just like her name, Dominion Lord Melchizedek.

()

Hoohohoho. Its useless, useless. You two cant beat me.

Thats right, beg for your life. And then lick my shoes.

If you do so, I may spare your life.

A distorted smile floated as Kazaream suggests, but its useless to hear it.

After all, she didnt intend to really spare their life and only want to satisfy her
desire to want to see their ungraceful appearance.

Mostly because of such warped desire, shes going easy on them.

It was foolish, but Kazaream made that grudge her reason to live.

In Leons view, he can sees Footman tormenting Alrose.

If things keep going this way, itd be dangerous.

But, he didnt have any room to help him.

Although he made his mind to fight until the bitter end, the situation remains at
its worst.

At that time

Bufuou!!
!!

Raising a scream, Footman was blown off.

Who is that!? Without any time to even think so,

!?

Are we late?

No, looks like we barely made it in time.

Such conversation was heard.

Two people who standing still without letting out any presence could be seen.

Who are they!? such is Leons question,

!?

Nice to meet you, Im Benimaru.

The number one subordinate, the faithful servant of the Great Demon Lord
Rimuru-sama.

The one who have the title of Flare Lord.

I wonder who should I kill?

()

"()"

A red-haired handsome man declares while sprouting a refreshing smile.

And,

Faithful? Im certain that you are the most insincere one though

Youre next overshadowed by Diablo or Zegion you know?

A blue-haired handsome man standing next to Benimaru while letting out such
tsukkomi.

Receiving Leons gaze,

Im not a person worthy to introduce myself.

I will only say that Im the faithful shadow of the Great Demon Lord Rimuru-
sama.

Well, dont worry about it.

When I kill you all, there wont be any chance for us to meet anymore.

He declared so while having a fearless smile.

Hey, you dont tattle about it okay? Never spread the rumor about it
okay!?

Stupid, dont underestimate Diablos intelligence network.

Even if I dont say it, that demon will somehow hear about it.

Put that aside, dont get carried away and thinking you can rampage around
since its been a while.

!?

Although the two are joking around, theyre not relaxing their guard at all.

Obviously indicating that theyre not an ordinary people.

(Benimaru and also Rimurus shadow? To make even such people as his
subordinates.)

And from their behavior, Leon realized it immediately without any doubt.

The hearsay that the Demon Lord Rimuru is dead is to deceive the enemy.

Similarly, Kazaream seemed to realize it too.

Dont be joking? Demon Lord Rimuru is dead.

Such small fry introducing himself as a Great Demon Lord is so presumptuous!!

!!
She shouted in loud voice.

But, that shout made the two angry.

Benimaru lose his refreshing smile and his face become expressionless.

The other person, Souei who introduced himself as the Great Demon Lords
shadow is expressionless by nature, but cold light flickered in his eyes.

The two shout at the same time.

I will kill you!!

!!

So.

And the situation of the war enters a new phase.

[1] Its not the demon like Diablo.

[2] Its written as amount of holy spirit.
