Chapter 568 – The Demon King’S Rebirth
◈-Demon King Baal SIDE
No way.
This shouldn’t be happening.
This feeling of fullness within my body.
The omnipotent feeling that I could overcome and destroy anything has vanished without a trace.
What is that guy?
What is that creature!
He casually blocked my magic with a mere magic barrier.
The Darkness Sphere, which I shot with the intention to kill, didn’t even leave a scratch despite hitting his head.
And… to be completely unfazed even after taking a direct hit from an attack infused with all my magic…
This is impossible.
Such a being shouldn’t exist!
“Explo Rushiiiiiiiiiiit!”
Once is not enough.
I will pour out all my magic now to eliminate the greatest threat blocking my path!
I struck, struck, struck, struck, and struck again.
Each strike contained enough power to obliterate this demon king’s castle in an instant.
I drew the power of the sigils to their maximum, maximizing their destructive force.
Yet… the explosions I unleashed failed to destroy even the magic barrier that the creature had created around itself, let alone eliminate him.
Instead, I only ended up hurting myself with the aftereffects of the explosions.
What is this…
What the hell is this!
This can’t be… this can’t be happening!
I, I am the strongest demon king!
I am the apostle of the god of destruction, Bane, who will bring death and destruction back to this world with his blessing!
That’s how it should be, so why…
“Well then, it’s my turn now, Demon King.”
“Ugh?!”
Why am I…
“D-don’t come any closer!”
Am I feeling fear towards this guy?
I, who should be spreading fear more than anyone else, am terrified.
I’m retreating like a pathetic weakling!
The exhilaration I felt after absorbing the sigils has long since disappeared.
Now, all that remains is the thought of how to overcome this situation.
Something… isn’t there something!
A way to survive this monster…
At that moment.
A succubus caught my eye.
That succubus was definitely near this monster when I entered this place.
Moreover, judging by her words and actions, she seemed to be quite close to this monster.
If I use that succubus… I can escape this situation!
At the very least, I can buy enough time to escape.
After that, I can gather more power and buy time to defeat that monster!
I can’t miss this opportunity.
“Succubus!”
I reached out and used the remaining power of the sigils to activate one of the powers that a demon king originally possesses.
“Obey me!”
The power of the sigils enveloped the succubus’s body.
Yes, this is the demon king’s power.
Even if it’s blocked by a magic barrier, this power of the sigils shouldn’t fail on a demon.
The demon king’s power to subjugate demons.
Especially a succubus, who is more loyal than other demons due to her yin gate, has no choice but to obey this power.
Now, succubus! Become my loyal servant and buy me time to escape…
“Huh? No thanks?”
“Wha… what did you say?”
Another unbelievable thing happened.
The succubus refused my command.
“Oh my, what’s this?”
She waved her hand, shaking off the sigil’s energy.
She shook off the sigil’s energy!?
“H-how… how can you refuse! Demons… especially succubi, can never disobey the demon king’s orders! Why!”
“Why, you ask? Well, of course~♪”
The succubus said, seductively caressing the yin gate engraved on her lower abdomen with her finger.
“My master~ is no longer the demon king, but the Grand Sex King…♡ Rent-nim, you see♡”
“What?”
“Of course, if it were me before, I would have easily pledged my loyalty, but my body’s master is already Rent-nim, so that’s completely useless♪ The demon king’s control is nothing compared to Rent-nim’s cock♡ Even the setting that the master engraved on my yin gate is the demon king~ has been completely shattered by the pleasure Rent-nim’s cock gives me♡”
“T-that can’t be…”
Overwritten?
Shattered?
The power of the sigils.
The demon king’s power was defeated by the pleasure of a mere… cock?
That’s… that’s…!!
“Amazing… now you’re even breaking the demon king’s control with your night work.”
“If it feels that good, does that mean he doesn’t care if his girls sleep with other guys?”
“Jason, what is a Grand Sex King?”
“It’s one of Rent’s nicknames, Your Highness.”
“Impossible…! Such a thing can’t happen! Bane’s blessing! Bane’s power! Defeated by the pleasure a mere human gives! That can’t be…!!!”
“Hehe!”
The succubus snorted confidently and began to slap her yin gate.
“Bane’s blessing or!”
Slap!
“I don’t know about the demon king’s power!”
Slap!
“The master engraved on this yin gate now!”
Slap!
“Is only Rent-nim♡”
“Kuhhh…!!! You ungrateful succubus who doesn’t even know the grace of Bane who created you!!!”
“Oh my, the person who gave birth to me is my mother, not Bane. And why should I care about Bane, who tells me to destroy and spread death after creating me and sending me to my death?
Rather~ if I could, I’d even want to become a Solisin follower~♪ Have lots of sex and give birth to lots of babies♡ How wonderful.”
“What!! How dare you say such nonsense! You wench! I’ll kill you right now…”
“Then, I’ll start the treatment.”
I was so distracted by the impudent and ungrateful succubus that I didn’t notice the monster approaching right in front of me.
“Ugh!? D-don’t come any closer! You monster! Don’t, don’t touch me!”
I tried to step back and create some distance, but something blocked my path with a thud.
It was the magic barrier that the monster had created.
The monster was right in front of me.
There was nowhere to run.
At this rate, I don’t know what that monster will do to me.
In that case, I’d rather use all my life force to self-destruct and inflict even a little damage on this monster…
Thud!
As I was thinking that, the monster grabbed my head with both hands.
“L-let go!”
Is he planning to crush my head like this!
Or is he going to smash it to pieces!
No, this is not the time to be thinking about this!
I need to self-destruct immediately…
“It’ll probably go back to normal if you get a little bit of this, Demon King.”
What do you mean by back to normal!
This form is my true…
“Soli Force!”
At that moment, my vision was engulfed in a light green light, and my mind went blank.
I felt like something that had been binding my body, mind, and head was blown away.
The energy of the sigils that had permeated deep into my body disappeared.
Everything that made me the demon king was disappearing in the light emitted by the monster.
Something black that had been staining me was returning to its original state.
Ah, what… what was I doing until just now…
◈-Rent SIDE
The demon king tried to control Nino.
But even that control didn’t work on Nino at all.
Come to think of it, when I conquered Nino and the brothel succubi, I heard Nino say that things like the demon king’s control wouldn’t work anymore.
I never thought that would actually happen.
The demon king, unable to believe that his control didn’t work, tried to deny it, and Nino was teasing him.
While the demon king was getting angry at Nino for teasing him, I quickly approached the demon king.
And I made sure the demon king couldn’t retreat by creating a magic barrier behind him.
Thud! I grabbed the demon king’s head with both hands and immediately activated the newly acquired skill.
Soli Force.
A light green light emanated from my hands and enveloped the demon king’s head and his entire body.
“!@!@$!@#%$!@#%#$%@#!!!”
The demon king, enveloped in light, screamed something incomprehensible and trembled all over.
I-is this okay?
『Puhah! Get, get away! Stop kissing, Number 1!』
Bane, who had probably pushed Soli’s face away, said to me in response to my question.
『That’s just the Bane’s energy being pushed out by Soli’s energy. It’s probably reacting violently because the energy has permeated deep into his body.』
It’s not harmful to his health, right?
『No.』
That’s a relief.
For about a minute, the demon king continued to scream and tremble, and then, from the middle, a large amount of black energy began to seep out of his body, and when all the black energy had left, the sigil on his arm had completely disappeared, and his horns had returned to normal.
And without screaming and trembling, the demon king lost consciousness.
“Hoo.”
I took my hands off the demon king’s head and released all the magic barriers.
I picked up the demon king, who was about to fall over as soon as I took my hands off him, and then I approached Prince Barba.
“Father…”
“Father!”
Prince Barba stared silently at the unconscious demon king, and Urgos jumped over the desk and rushed towards us.
“Father! W-what did you do to Father!”
Urgos grabbed the demon king’s hand that I was holding and glared at me.
Maybe he thinks that the demon king is in critical condition or has lost his life because of what I just did?
Even though he was the first to have his sigil stolen by the demon king and screamed like that, he seems very worried about his father, the demon king.
His personality is like a self-centered thug, but is his filial piety deep?
“Don’t worry, he just lost consciousness.”
“R-really!”
“Yes.”
“I-if you’re lying…”
“Urgos, restrain yourself.”
“But, brother!”
“Right now, Rent… no, Sir Rent saved us from our father, who had been reborn as the demon king. He even prevented a situation where not only us, but perhaps the entire demon race, could have seen a bloodbath. How can you not believe the words of such a person?”
“Ugh…”
Urgos frowned and turned his head away.
Judging by the fact that he didn’t just get angry at Prince Barba and reacted like this, he probably has some sense of judgment.
“Sir Urgos.”
“W-what is it!”
“I don’t know the structure of this demon king’s castle very well. So, could you please move the unconscious demon king to his bedroom so he can rest comfortably?”
“A-alright!”
When I gestured to hand the demon king over to Urgos, Urgos immediately took the demon king from me.
“Brother, I’ll take care of Father…”
“Yes, please take care of Father, Urgos.”
As soon as Urgos received the demon king from me, he immediately left the conference room.
“Sir Rent… I saw the sigil disappear from Father. Was that you?”
“Yes. I expelled it by injecting divine power. Since it was a sigil containing Bane’s power, I thought it would disappear if I injected Soli’s power strongly, and fortunately, it worked.”
I thought it would be more convincing to say it like this.
I couldn’t just say, “Actually, I got inspiration just now and was able to use it right away!”
“I see… So, you can also use divine power.”
“I can only emit divine power, I can’t do things like healing.”
Well, if I get inspiration, I can do it anytime, but I didn’t need to acquire healing skills yet.
“Oh, right.”
At that moment, I thought it was the best time, so I turned to the hardliners and said.
“Hardliners.”
“”…….””
When I called out to them, the hardliners looked at me with tense expressions.
“If you want to wage war because you want destruction and death, that means you’ll have to fight me… do you want to wage war?”
When I asked that.
The hardliners shook their heads in unison.
Satisfied with that answer, I immediately looked at Prince Barba and Jason, and gave them a thumbs up, saying.
“Mission complete!”
The mission for world peace.
It’s accomplished.
“Kyaaaaak♡ Rent-nim♡ You’re so cool♡”
“We didn’t do anything.”
“Let’s just think we came for sightseeing.”
