Chapter 115:

A giant battleship had arrived at the territory of the Banfields.

It was the battleship that the 7thWeapons Factory had built for Liam.

At the bridge of the ship, Nias danced about ecstatically as she read the data presented on the monitor screen.

Her eyes shone as she spoke about the splendid battleship that she created.

Its absolutely brilliant! I want to show this to the ones that mocked me and said that its only possible in theory! Just look! Just look at its specs! Theyre far beyond what I expected! Its energy conversion rate is insane as well. And the output! This is a battleship like no other. Ah~ Im so talented that its making me nervous.

Some soldiers watched on as Nias had her face pressed to the monitor.

They were the soldiers that Liam had assigned to pick up his battleship. Being elite soldiers, Liam had entrusted his ship to them.

The other staff members from the Weapons Factory were taken aback by Niass frenzied dance, but they did not cut corners when it came to their work.

Is she not aware of whats going on right now?

This just proves that talent is inversely proportional to sanity.

Hey, shes rolling on the floor now. Someone should stop her.

It was an embarrassing display.

However, her excitement was understandable as the ships performance well exceeded everyones expectations.

The only issue was that its owner was missing.

Suddenly, Nias came to a halt.

Looking at the ships monitor, she tilted her head.

Oh? Its picked up a distress signal. Its from a distant place though. To pick up a signal thats coming from so far away, moms proud of you.

She referred to the battleship as her child and spoke like she was its mother.

The people around her didnt know what to say anymore.

It was then that the captain stood up and shoved Nias away from the monitor.

Nias fell down with a Fugya! but no one bothered with her.

This distress signalhey, someone contact the home planet immediately and gather all our allies!

With that command from the captain, the people in the bridge got busy.

Nogo, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had been slain.

[Gorius], the Demon Lord, was sitting on the throne that was inside its castle.

Its body was shaped like a humans, but it was made of flickering flames, and its eyes consisted of two sharp glints of light.

Gorius had no need for food.

Instead, it loved to consume negative emotions such as malice, despair, and fear.

Having bestowed the beastmen some of its powers, Gorius was irked when it learned that they had been defeated.

Thats beastmen for you, I guess.

It had accepted the beastmen under its wing so that they could terrorize the humans in its stead.

However, it had planned on getting rid of them in due time.

In essence, they were just tools Gorius used to efficiently squeeze out the negative emotions of the human race.

Its remaining subordinates stepped forward, fighting over who should replace Nogo in terrorizing the humans.

My Lord, please let me have a go at them next!

No, I shall go next!

I believe Im fit for the job because

Gorius was just about fed up with all this.

(Manipulating these lowly creatures is getting tiresome real quick. Oh, if only I could dominate the world more quickly!)

Gorius had suffered under the Heroes might many times in the past.

However, it had managed to resurrect over the years.

Not only that, it had saved up a great amount of power.

As humans had the habit of fighting amongst themselves, Gorius had been able to silently siphon their negative emotions.

(Whatever, Im just doing this for fun anyway. Even if a Hero appears, its not like theyll be able to beat me. After all, Ive already transcended the realm of a Demon Lord.)

Gorius didnt have a physical body to speak of, so it was naturally immune to physical attacks.

Just as Gorius was thinking of killing off its subordinates and personally dealing with the humans, a Giant came into the audience hall while covered in blood.

The beastmen have betrayed you, my Lord. Theyve entered the castle, and a Hero is leading them.

The Giant then breathed its last.

The Demon Lord narrowed its eyes, forming two crescent moons.

Ho~ so youve come to take my head. My, what an impatient Hero weve got here.

At the royal palace of the Kingdom of Aarl, Queen Enora was feeling troubled over Liams reckless decision to charge ahead.

The heavyweights of the kingdom were having a meeting inside the throne room.

He just went ahead and attacked the Demon Lords castle!?

Why didnt he consult with us beforehand!?

To subjugate the Demon Lord, they assumed that Liam would need their help.

From the beginning, however, Liam had never once considered getting help from the Kingdom of Aarl.

After a few days of rest, he took off with the beastmen and charged into the Demon Lords castle.

What made things worse was that he had taken with him less than a hundred people, claiming that it would be pointless to have so many people marching behind him.

He hadnt been able to secure enough food and water, so he left behind a majority of the beastmen.

Gorius landed a kick where Liam had fled to.

I can revive as many times as I need to!

Gorius roared at the Heavens inside the Demon Lords castle that was turning into a pile of rubble.

Because I am malice itself!

Hundreds of thousands of slashes flew towards Gorius as it laughed.

For a split second, the flames were diced.

Soon enough, however, it recovered.

Impressive, you still havent given up.

Liam hadnt been injured.

You were trained to defeat me, but you cant touch me, even with your Orichalcum sword. Youve wasted your time.

However, there was something that was bothering Gorius.

(Why is he completely unscathed?)

Not even a scratch.

Even so, he looked angry for some reason.

Malice? You?How dare you look down on humans!

Gorius was about to be left speechless by Liams rant.

Malice my foot.

Its being fed by the negative emotions of humans, yet its pretending like its the master of the house.

Its true that no one on this planet could beat this guy, but!its vastly underestimating the human race.

Youve underestimated your human masters too much.

Whatdid you just say?

I rest my sword on my shoulder and check the bracelet on my left arm.

Youve been blabbering on about how you can revive as long as there are humans on the planet, but that also means you rely on us humans to live.

The Demon Lord becomes silent, and I look up at the night sky.

The ceiling has collapsed, so the stars are in full view.

A tiny being like you might not understand what Im saying, but youre not the most evil being in this worldhumans are!

What?

It has probably only faced off against weak humans until now.

In other words, it doesnt know anything.

It doesnt know that there are other humans outside this planet.

How can you claim to be evil when you havent even taken over a single planet? Compared to the number of people Ive killed, the number you killed means nothing!

Do you know how many people Ive killed?

Do you know how many things Ive destroyed?

Ive killed so many that Ive stopped bothering to count.

In my eyes, this Demon Lord is nothing more than a kid thats claiming to be a general at a local playground.

Simply put, its just a big fish in a small pond.

Has your kill count reached a hundred million yet?

It should be in the tens of millions. To begin with, there arent that many people in this world.

Youve revived so many times, but its only at that level?

Yes, there are. There are hundreds of billions of people in this world, perhaps even more, and Im a man who has killed people in the hundreds of millions!

Not to mention the pirates, Ive slaughtered countless enemies that blocked my path.

Because of that, there are a lot of people that resent me.

Iam evil. I am Malice!

A Demon Lord of this tiny world has no right to call itself evil!

Can you hear the voices of the dead? If you can, ask them about how cruel of a man I am.

This guy looks like an apparition of some type, so it might be able to hear the whispers of the dead.

I bet itll be surprised when it hears all the voices of resentment.

W-what is this!?

The yellow lights that represent the Demon Lords eyes turn round, probably from the shock.

I toss my sword aside and raise my right hand towards the sky.

A small fry like you has no right to claim that its evil! That right is solely reserved for the humans. Yes, someone like me! I am evil!Ellen, my sword!

Avid comes down from the sky like a shooting star.

The Demon Lord exclaims in surprise as Avid lands next to me, blowing away the rest of the castle.

W-w-w-w-what is that!? WHAT IS THAT!?

Avid towers over the Demon Lord, and from its cockpit, Ellen appears with my sword in hand.

Master!

Ellen then throws my most prized sword at me, and the swords handle lands right in my extended hand, almost as if its been sucked into it.

Upon grabbing the handle, I unsheathe the sword.

Rejoice, Demon Lord. Ill give you the honor of dying from my favorite sword. Ill erase you so completely that youll never be able to revive again.

Its time to cut down this delusional son of a b*tch.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
