2nd Round Villain

187 – pre-work – 2

human king.

He was abandoned by a certain human parent in the past and woke up in a magical forest. Presumably, it was abandoned and weaned.

the king is strong This is an undeniable fact. Even if you are a king, there are some species that are weak when young and become strong after a long time, depending on the species. The human king was strong even when he was young, but became explosively strong when he became an adult.

When he was one year old, he caught a snake with his bare hands. He grabbed the snake by the neck and killed it. It was a natural trade.

Of course, the magic forest is a wild forest overflowing with powerful monsters. As long as you don’t have a perfect body, you can’t even begin with the power of a child. Sometimes the king ran away, and sometimes he waited with his breath to try to survive.

It was around the time when the king was ten years old. A woman from outside the forest rescued the king. The king set an edge on the stranger. However, the benevolent saintess reminded the king of noble values. The king finally opened his heart.

It was a happy time. The saintess gave the king the name ‘John’. John was overjoyed.

But the joy didn’t last long. The saintess died in some kind of disaster, and the magic beasts who followed John also died. John did not take revenge. Because I don’t want to lose my surroundings anymore. So the bleeding stopped.

Yohan laid down all the blood and began to live by remembering only the remnants of the past. Another dozen years like that. A party led by a demon tribe came to see John. John decided to make friends with them.

When they had been together for about three hundred years, the demons instructed John to go to the continent with human knights.

continent. The place that becomes the source of the saintess. John crossed over to the continent with a throbbing heart and became a teacher at a school called Eden Academy.

The 18 years since then have been quite interesting. I met and made friends with new human groups. The job of a teacher taught John a different aptitude.

But sometimes, John would miss his former teammates. Even when we went through the forest together.

Still, there were no stars. John knew. He knew that he was nothing more than the demon tribe’s chess horse, and that the chess horse should not deviate from the will of the demon tribe.

The demons were such an existence. Looking down at everything in the world as a piece of equipment on a chessboard, he cut the world to his heart’s content in his incomprehensible and distant mind. John did not stop it. Although he liked his fellow demons, it was because he was afraid of being out of his sight.

Then one night, demons came to Yohan. Just like that time 300 years ago, with a white mask on his face. what’s going to happen soon John immediately had a hunch.

“John, let me be direct.”

“something?”

“Don’t you want to become stronger? The power to split the sky, shatter the earth, and create the sea. I can let you get your hands on it.”

The demon’s voice approached me enchantingly like the sharp scent of alcohol. It was like a butterfly that flew in and landed on the back of my hand.

“I mean to raise John to the so-called ‘absolute’ level. Are you attracted? A strong force that controls the world! It is the longing of all beings in the world!”

“… .”

It was like the temptation when we first met. The demon’s voice had the power to charm people.

Yohan smiled and thought to himself.

Why is the demon doing this to himself?

It’s not pure good will. The demons he knew were more calculating than anyone else in the world. If a life is to be saved, there must be a purpose to save it. If you spend your time on something, that something must be worth your time.

That’s not a question. it’s forced Asmodians want themselves to be strong. The reason is unknown.

I didn’t like it. There’s nothing to lose by being strong. However, Yohan did not have a particular desire to become stronger.

This is because it is already very strong.

It is John who stands in close proximity to the absolute. Even if a tolerable army rushes in, it can be roughly organized with one punch from John.

But these concerns were meaningless. The demons wanted him to become strong. It is foolish to go against it. Because it’s an act of escaping from the demon’s ‘chest horse’.

“good night.”

“great. The method is simple. You have a ‘contract’ with me.”

“contract?”

“It’s a contract with the demons. If you sign a contract with me, John will be able to wield my demonic energy from now on. Like Beatrice. That’s a lot of power. It is the power that will make John’s life more prosperous.”

“strength… .”

“Yes, strength. You will be given strength equal to that of the Dragon King that Yohan fought in the past. There won’t be any more loss of someone due to lack of power like in the case of Irowell. If you stop taking revenge, the bondage of blood will be broken, but if you are strong in the first place, you don’t have to stop taking revenge. Now, I’m not asking you to resume your revenge. Anyway, the dragon king is dead. But you don’t have to put up with it when something like this happens again in the future.”

John nodded as if he was lowering his head. It was a sign of permission.

“It’s nice to be cool. After all, John is a real man. Alright then. take my hand With the will to sign a contract.”

The cheerful demon held out his hand. John took his hand, showing no signs of distress. It was a contract concluded out of loyalty to the demons rather than a desire for power.

Woo woo-.

A rough and gloomy energy seeped into John’s body. In an instant, Yohan felt as if he had plunged into the overflowing sea of Magi. John chuckled and grabbed his neck.

The muscles of the whole body swelled to a bizarre extent. But it didn’t hurt. It was just incredibly powerful. John poured his whole heart into controlling the power given to him somehow.

The demons stuck their heads out the window, paying no attention to Yohan, who struggled on the floor. A cool breeze came in and wrapped around the two bodies.

A sonorous voice pierced John’s ears.

“Congratulations, John. Now, he is an absolute strong man.”

“Ugh… .”

“At the time of this midterm exam, there will be a little big fight. Even casualties… It probably won’t be less. If anything, they could all die.”

“Turn off… .”

“I don’t want you or Sir Beatrice to die. That’s why giving is the power, so practice diligently for the rest of the week and live. and… Saint Mary and Princess Albrecht. Protect them both.”

“Ah, I see… .”

“Then, I’m off. See you at midterm!”

pop-!

White smoke erupted. The magician is gone.

*****

Woo woo-.

A corner of the sky gave way. It looked like it was cracking.

Toong-.

Waves spread from the empty sky. It was like a drop of dew on a fountain.

Pajik-!

Soon there was a clear crack in the sky. If until just now it was at a level that would be dismissed as an illusion, it is not anymore. The gold was clear and distinct.

Kwaaang-!

The sky, which had been acting strangely all along, finally broke. Over the broken sky, the two figures poked their heads out. A skinny old man, as if he had been mummified for a long time, and a black-haired red-eyed woman with very intense eyes. It was two like this.

The two contrasted in many ways. A decrepit body that looks like it will die at any moment, and a body that is full of vitality as if it has the fresh elasticity of a 20-year-old. Unlike the old man whose head is a bare hill, a woman with thick black hair. Also, the old man had an eerie smile on his lips, but the woman, on the contrary, was only making a blunt expression.

“It’s been a while. The scent of the continent.”

“me too… It’s been over a thousand years. It was the first and last time I stopped by the elves’ village.”

“Are you shaking? Are you going to see your brother?”

“… .”

Shhh-!

The two beings that came out of the hole in the blue sky began to run through the sky. There was no other way to express it. The two literally ran through the sky.

at the speed of a single flash.

“It feels strange to run side by side like this. It was five hundred years ago when you declared that you would stand up to me. You grew up so quickly.”

“Then and now, there is almost no change in appearance.”

“It sounds like prayer. It’s much more refined. The duke is done.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

The speed of the two was almost the same. It was the same even though one side didn’t fit the other side. It was a proof of powerlessness.

“What a talent. If it wasn’t for that young Kanos, you might have become the demon king of this generation. Among the current magic dukes, there will be no one who can beat you.”

“… It is too much to say.”

“It is not a lie. As long as lifespan is long, the growth rate is also slow. your brother is in trouble What a fate to be scolded by such an older sister.”

Grand Duke of the Southern Realm, King.

Grand Duke of Pandemonium North, Adela Lucifer.

“well… It is unknown to what extent Oscar may have grown in the meantime.”

“Anyway, is it an achievement that only you have done? Unless the Lucifer family grows fast when young and slows down when old, like the succubus of the West.”

Two Ascendants were flying.

“By the way, what did the Central Intelligence Agency say? Where did you say the source of that scandalous Oscar?”

“This is Eden Academy.”

Towards the academy where the dream trees of the continent are sprouting.
