Episode 103: Gaonga VS Bladian
~~Demon King’s Perspective~~
The Second is Bladian of the Vampire Clan.
He is the strongest demon among the Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings.
The strength of demons is graded depending on the territory assigned to them.
Closest to the territory where heroes reside is the Demon Duke’s domain.
This is the territory of the lowest-ranked low-class demons.
If they’re weak demons, they can be killed by heroes anytime.
And those who hold territories near the Demon Lord’s castle are the Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings.
One of them is Bladian of the Vampire Clan.
His level is 80,000.
He’s twice as strong as Dragonias, the vanguard with a level of 40,000.
With this strength, he should be able to defeat Gaonga of the Lion Tribe.
Moreover, he’s determined to go all out from the start.
There’s no element of losing.
Probably, Zaus’s team brought Gaonga, their strongest player, as the vanguard.
This team battle is based on a knockout system. If Gaonga wins alone, they’ll have the advantage over us.
Hmph. Your shallow strategy is transparent to me. That won’t work, Zaus. Our subordinates are overwhelmingly superior.
I’ll show you their true power.
Kukuku.
Maybe Bladian will even defeat Zaus!
Kuhahaha!
“Bladyaaaaahahaha!!”
Your subordinates will all be slaughtered!
“The second match is starting now!!”
Kukuku.
Witness the power of Bladian, one of the Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings!
*Crack!!*
“Ohhh!! Bladian is sent flying out of the ring!!”
Huh?
“Gaonga wins!!”
Whaaat!?
What just happened!?
“Well, the Demon Duke’s team has won two in a row!!”
Why did we lose!?
“Hey, Bladian! What’s the meaning of this!? I told you to go all out from the beginning!”
“Y-Yes. Of course, I did my best!”
“Then why did you lose!?”
“Uh, the opponent’s attack was intense! I couldn’t endure it at all!”
Whaaat!?
That’s ridiculous!
“Your level is 80,000! Where is there room for you to lose!?”
“There’s no room for me to lose! A proud vampire like me cannot lose to the inferior Lion Tribe!”
That’s right.
The Lion Tribe is not a superior species among demons.
Even with Idream Dal’s demon awakening, their level is at most around 400.
There’s no way they could defeat Bladian, who is level 80,000.
So why did we lose!?
“I got it! Zaus must have secretly enhanced his attack power with the support magic, Attack Power Doubler! It’s a cowardly tactic typical of traitorous demons!!”
There was no sign of such a move.
Even with concealment magic applied, it’s impossible to hide the aura of support magic.
“It’s Zaus! He might have equipped powerful rare items!”
…Even if he equipped such items, there’s nothing that dramatically boosts one’s level.
At most, it would double… If it doubled from level 400, it would be 800. Even with using Attack Power Doubler, it would be 1,600…
The calculations still don’t add up.
“It’s Zaus! He must have used dirty tactics!! That’s the only explanation!!”
“Hmm…”
“It’s a dirty move!! It surpasses our imagination!! He’s fighting using the tactics of a coward!!”
“Hmm…”
“It’s something Zaus, a weak demon, would think of!! He’s scheming something behind the scenes!!”
“Hmm… Certainly. They might have learned a technique to significantly enhance their level.”
“That’s right!! They’ve mastered a cowardly technique!! They’re nothing but weak demons!! Only lower-class demons who can’t win without dirty tricks!!”
“You, just be quiet for a moment.”
“No! How can I stay silent about this! I fell into the trap of those weak demons!! I was deceived by Zaus’s cowardly tactics!!”
Oh dear.
I raised my index finger.
And then, Bladian’s head swelled──.
“Meoww!!”
Boom!
It shattered into tiny pieces.
If we think logically, Gaonga’s level must be above 80,000.
Hmm. It’s hard to believe all of a sudden, but…
“Now, it’s getting exciting!! This team battle is a knockout system! That’s why Gaonga, who has won twice, will also fight in the third round. Let’s hear your thoughts now, Gaonga. Tell us about your feelings of victory.”
“Hmph! There’s no challenge, gao!! I’ll defeat the Demon King myself, gao!!”
“Wow, that’s quite confident… Wait, hold on! Don’t throw things around! Violence is not allowed!!”
“You traitor scum!!”
“Rot in hell, you cat bastard!!”
“Die, you dragon scum!!”
“Don’t get cocky just because you’re a Lion Tribe, you piece of crap!!”
“Shut up, Buu! Gaonga won with his own strength, Buu!!”
“It’s just that the Demon King’s army is weak, Buu!!”
“If you’re frustrated, then win with your own strength, Buu!!”
“Don’t throw things, Buu!!”
“Hahaha… Well, well, let’s calm down, both of you. There’s still plenty of cheer left. We have jerky and cookies, too. Let’s drink up and cheer for our own army!”
The game progressed to the third match.
“Now, it’s time for the next match. The Demon Duke’s team has the vanguard, Gaonga of the Lion Tribe, who has won both matches. Against them is the Midfield, strategist Fugutar, of the Demon King’s army!! It’s the appearance of the Demon King’s army’s ace player!!”
