Let's begin the second game of the first round! Master Linden Lindberg, Master Dogma, please come to the arena!
After the excitement of the first match, the second match started.
Mr. Barbaroi was dragged to the infirmary and I was led to the bleachers in the front row of the arena.
"Takumi, you're so cool, kid.
Chiharu happily climbs onto my lap.
'Brilliant, Takumi-san.
That's my boy Takumi. That's my fiancée.
"Takumi will not take you for a wife, so don't push your luck, Black Lizard.
I will. They're so generous. We'll live happily ever after.
Leia and Chloe are sitting on either side of me, with Leia and Chloe struggling with each other.
Stop it. I'm embarrassed by the painful stares from the audience.
"Demon King, are you looking for a wife? Will you take me with you?
I won't take it!
We don't get it!
Miakis, the Beast King, joins me from the back seat.
Please stop this. My reputation is plummeting.
Unable to concentrate on the match at all, the gong for the start of the second round rings.
Linden-san doesn't move from his starting position, and the Immortal King Dogma approaches him.
''Don't worry. Even without the Four Divine Pillars, Dogma is as close to immortal as possible. It's impossible for a human to damage a dogma.
Miakis explains confidently.
'Human. If you wish to abstain, it is now or never. This dogma is not so sweet that you can go easy on it. ......
Dogma begins to speak to Mr. Linden in front of him.
But Mr. Linden interrupts her words and bows to Dogma with a gentle smile.
'Good day to you. Goodbye.
A moment like that, like a blink of an eye.
With a swooshing sound, the dogma had disappeared.
Did it disappear? No, this is ......
...... space travel wiped me out. Dogma's idiot, he doesn't always take damage, so his defense is neglected. But you can't resist that level of magic ......
Miakis is holding his head to the dogma that has left the room with no damage and has left the room.
That's the extent, huh?
Was it really just that Dogma was weak in magic?
It's also possible that Linden-san's spatial magic is more than expected.
''Takkun, it's the same power I felt when we drew the lottery. The tournament table, it was decided by that woman's cheating.''
Okay.
Well, if you can control space, it should be easy to control the balls you choose.
"Master Dogma, you are missing, so Linden Lindbergh has won!
The audience booed when the match was decided in one second.
"You'll bring shame to the Four Heavenly Kings. I'll avenge your disgrace.
As soon as Miakis stands up, the hostess shouts out.
''Then let's begin the third match of the first round. ''Miakis-sama, Dagan-sama, please go to the arena!
Dagan is a legendary hunter.
There was no one to his right in terms of the number of wild monsters he had defeated.
Even though he is on the verge of his prime, his body exudes an aura of gravitas.
''Those who fight monsters must be careful not to become monsters themselves in the process.
Someone muttered from the seat behind him, next to the one Miakis was sitting in.
It was Azathoth, the Dark King.
The darkness covered him, making it impossible to see his figure or expression, but the darkness was shimmering slightly.
''That man is already close to our side.
The impression I had of Dagan was the same as Azathoth's.
The hint I felt from Dagan could be mistaken for the beast itself, not the one hunting the beast.
He wore equipment made from the skin of the beast, and a long gun was held in his arms.
He slowly walked up to the arena with his sharp eyes glaring at Miakis.
''I'll finish him off with a single blow. I won't let my intended prey escape.''
What a surprise. I was thinking the same thing.
Cheers erupt.
A beast and a hunter. Whether or not the match is a natural enemy of each other, it's going to be exciting.
Before the start of the match, Dagan lies face down in the arena, his gun at the ready. The barrel of the gun pointed straight at Miakis.
To Dagan, this must be a hunting ground, not an arena. He feels a tremendous concentration, as if he can see nothing but Miakis.
Then Miakis held the gun in front of him, crawling low on all fours. The hair on his entire body was standing upside down. He was not like the Miakis he had seen when he was basking in the sun in the mountains. She was transformed from a cute and carefree cat into a ferocious beast of prey.
Daibukai, the third game, let's begin!
It was the moment the gong sounded to start the game.
A resounding gunshot.
A bullet shot straight at Miakis.
However, Miakis does not try to avoid the bullet.
He rushed towards the bullet at a terrific speed while remaining low.
It was as if even Miakis had been turned into a single bullet.
There was a crashing sound, and Miakis' head shook so much that he fell backwards.
But that didn't stop Miakis.
The pupils of Miakis, who returned his head to its original position in an instant, squeezed and elongated.
The auditorium was abuzz with noise.
A bullet that should have hit Miakis directly.
Incredibly, it existed in Miakis's mouth.
The still spinning bullet was forcibly held down by sharp fangs, emitting white smoke.
''With Miakis' kinetic vision, the bullet would have been able to stop and see. It's not a contrived thing to do, such as stopping it in your mouth.
I can't believe my ears at Azathoth's words. I seem to have underestimated Miakis's power.
My opponent Dagan is also astonished and his eyes widen.
'Fool, you stopped me with a bullet in your mouth! That's an anti-male monster rifle that can shoot a tank!
By the time he shouted, Miakis was already close to Dagan's eyes.
'Siaaaaaaaaah!'
Miakis roared and spat a bullet into the ground.
He draped himself over Dagan, who was lying on his back, and plunged his fangs into his neck.
As they declared to each other, the fight was settled with a single blow.
'Azathoth.'
He couldn't help but speak to her.
''Yes, what is it, Demon King Takumi-sama?''
I'd never had this question before.
After living with them for just a few days, I was surprised myself that the idea was born.
''Is it possible for demons and humans to live in harmony?''
Azathoth is silent for a bit as he looks at the arena.
Miakis was bobbing up and down violently, bittan, bittan, bittan, bobbing up and down, with Dagan's head just about to be torn off.
'It would be impossible. The powerless fear the powerful. The powerless fear the powerful, and the powerful despise the powerless. This will create conflict that will never end.
When Dagan stops moving completely, Miakis removes his fangs from his neck and stands up to look down at him.
'Sho, winner, Master Miakis!
Miakis didn't move a bit when he was called out as the winner. The crowd went silent.
That's us demons. We hunt people like people hunt beasts. The hunters don't think about the pain of the hunted. We do not follow the weak. If there is a future in which we live in peace with our people, it will be full of contradictions.
A contradiction?
"The weakest man who knows all pain must be our king. And the weakest man must be stronger than we are.
It certainly contains an unfeasible contradiction.
But even so, I wonder if we can do something about it.
That's what I'm thinking about.
The reason is that Miakis, standing above the arena, looked somewhat lonely.
Did you forget it? That dream should have been abandoned a long time ago. When this tournament is over, you and the four of us will go to the frontier, Demon King Takumi.
'What? Wait a minute: ......
A dream. A dream that the Dark Lord had long ago.
Didn't the Dark Lord once want to live in peace with his people?
I was about to ask Azathoth a question.
Chihar, sitting on my lap, squeezes my thighs.
Chiharu's face has a complicated expression on it, as if he is about to cry, and I can't speak to him, so I just hug him from behind.
''Then let's start the fourth game of the first round! Machina-sama, Azathoth-sama, please go up to the arena!
The darkness that covered Azathoth exploded over him, heading towards the arena.
That darkness was like a wall separating humans and demons, and I couldn't say anything again, just looked away at Azathoth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Let's begin the second game of the first round! Master Linden Lindberg, Master Dogma, please come to the arena!
After the excitement of the first match, the second match started.
Mr. Barbaroi was dragged to the infirmary and I was led to the bleachers in the front row of the arena.
