Episode 102: Vanguard Showdown
~~Demon King’s Perspective~~
Braaaaah!!
Hehehe.
There’s no way a lion can defeat a dragon.
The Dragonkin are superior demons to the Lionkin.
Plus, I know Gaonga’s level before he betrayed us.
His level was only 400.
We even have the devil awakening of the handsome Lord Idreamdal, it’s still only 400.
Hehehe. There’s no way he can defeat our warriors with just a level of 400.
Nufufu. There will be an overwhelming difference.
We won!
There’s no doubt that our team will win this battle.
Hehehe.
Zaus, now is not the time to keep a cool face.
With our overwhelming victory, I’ll twist your face in disdain.
Kukukuku… Hahaha,
“Gwaaahahaha!! Braaaaah!!”

~~Lionkin Gaonga’s Perspective~~
I, Gaonga of the Lionkin, stood facing Dragonias of the Dragonkin.
I’ve trained enough, gaoo.
I hunted countless Super King Metal Hitoden and raised my level like crazy.
But still, the opponent is Dragonkin.
They are definitely a superior race, gaoo.
I must not let my guard down, gaoo.
Lord Zaus is usually a cautious person, gaoo.
I’ll follow his lead and proceed cautiously, gaoo.
The attack on the abdomen earlier was quite weak, gaoo.
Is he holding back?
In the past, I would have laughed at the opponent and underestimated them, gaoo.
But not anymore.
If this is the opponent’s strategy, it would be unbearable, gaoo.
Carefully observe the opponent, gaoo.
Dragonias’ weapon seems to be a sword.
Since my weapon is a large axe, I can gain an advantage by letting him take the blow, gaoo.
Well, he probably won’t take an axe attack with his sword, gaoo.
He raised his sword and wrapped its blade in flames.
It’s Dragonkin’s technique, Dragon Fire Sword, gaoo.
I can’t afford to lose.
“Graaaah!!”
With a roar, I infused magic into my axe.
Now, let the battle begin.
My blood is boiling!
For the Lionkin, battle is life.
The moment of this battle is the most enjoyable.
Fun is justice, gaoo!
“Hmph! Barking like a stray cat! I’ll slice you with Dragon Fire Sword, Dra!!”
“Graaah!! Take this!! Lion, Heavy Furnace Slice!!”
Well, he’ll probably dodge anyway.
Just a greeting-level attack…
What!?
He’s not dodging!?
He’s taking it with his sword!?
Does he really have that much confidence in his sword!?
My Lion Heavy Furnace Slice can easily cut through even Orichalcum like pudding!
Th-this will lead to the sword and axe making contact!!
Not good.
Does he have some kind of secret plan!?
Is he really going to take my axe with his sword!?
Crack…!!
Dragonias’ sword broke.
There you go!
It broke as expected!!
“Are you stupid, gaoo? It’s obvious your sword would break if you take an axe hit.”
“Grrraaah!!”
…Is he weak?
No, I must not underestimate him.
Proceed with caution, gaoo.
But still, there’s a possibility that my axe attack might kill him, gaoo.
If we win against the Demon Lord’s army, he’ll become a valuable subordinate monster for Zaus-sama. Valuable efforts must be protected, gaoo.
Killing is a last resort.
I threw away my axe.
“Hah! I’ll do it barehanded, gaoo! Come at me!!”
“H-Hahaha! Y-you fool!! Missing such a golden opportunity!! You’ll regret this, Dra!!”
“Just come at me! I’m itching for a fight, gaoo!!”
“The Dragonkin excel in martial arts too! Dragon Fire Fist Technique, Draconic Arts: Furious Devouring Destruction God’s Fierce Strike, Draque Hakamigeda!!”
“Alright! Come!!”
Bababababababababa!!
A flurry of punches.
Hmm. Let’s see if I can handle them all.
Bababababababababa!!
“…………”
“Hahaha! You can’t even keep up with my barrage, Dora!!”
Bababababababababa!!
T-this guy… is he still holding back?
“You’ve had enough warm-up. Let’s get serious, gaoo. Since I won’t be guarding anymore, come at me with all you’ve got, gaoo.”
“H-here’s… you’ll regret it!! Take this!! My full-powered strike!!”
Crack!!
“Ohhh!! Player Dragonias let out a crack sound!! It seems the bones in his fists are broken!!”
“Grrraaahh!! My fists!!”
What’s with this guy…?
“You’re weak, aren’t you?”
“D-don’t mock me! H-high-level High Recovery Heal!! I-I’m a Dragonkin! There’s no way I’m inferior to the lower Lionkin species, Dra!! I’m definitely stronger than you, an upper-class species!!”
“Oh, is that so? Then it’s my turn, isn’t it…”
Suuuuu…
Inhale, exhale.
“Graaaahhh!!”
With my roar, Dragonias froze.
Drenched in sweat, he stopped moving.
“Be grateful to Zaus-sama. He told me not to kill you, gaoo.”
With a swift motion,
My fist caught Dragonias’ face.
Thud!!
He fell off the stage.
“Player Dragonias is out of the arena!! The first match goes to Player Gaonga’s victory!!”
The arena erupted with cheers.
Whoooa!!
That felt… somewhat unsatisfying!!
“Gaoo! Gaoo! Graaaah!!”
“This team battle is fought to the end! Therefore, player Gaonga will face off against the Second of the Demon Lord’s team, player Bladian of the Vampire Tribe!!”
Hmmph!
I’ll go all out from the start next time, gaoo.

~~Demon Lord’s Perspective~~
Braaaaahhh!? Dragonias lost!?
Is that Lionkin stronger than the Dragonkin??
What’s going on, braaaaah!?!
Why!?
“Why did you loseeeeee!?”
Dragonia’s power swelled several times due to Lord Idreamdal’s devil awakening.
His level is 40,000!!
He’s much stronger than the former captain of the guard, Kakgaridan.
And yet he lost!?
S-so, does that mean that Lionkin has a power level of over 40,000??
No, that can’t be true! He’s a Lionkin. Even in the state of devil awakening, his level was only 400.
There’s no way a monster with just a level of 400 can defeat Dragonias with a level of 40,000.
In that case, did Dragonias hold back too much and let his guard down?
That possibility is quite likely!
Since Dragonkin are a superior species to Lionkin!
“Bladian!! Give it your all!!”
“Yes. Leave it to me. There’s no way a lower Lionkin would defeat a Vampire clan member.”
With Bladian’s level, he can win.
He’s much stronger than Dragonias.
We’ll definitely win next time.
I’ll make Zaus eat his words!!
