"Cu....?　This pressure is...!　You're not just some guy!

　The dark certain muttered in a trembling voice while retreating slightly.

''But!　"We are the same as the emperor who rules over the darkness...

　--Firelance!

　The spear of fire is unleashed on the screaming dark being. The spear of fire snatches the dark child's shoulder.

''Guh!　You!　It's my turn now!　You can't have any pride in yourself...
Nope.

　--Flashbang!

　I close the distance between me and the Dark One and release a quick stab.

　Pride?　All I have is a nasty desire to survive and a petty desire to show off my strength in front of my men.

''Kuh?　........You fool who doesn't even know how to take pride in yourself!　Better to die!　--Double Thrust!

　The dark certain thrusts his rapier twice quickly. The first thrust is avoided by twisting my upper body, but the second thrust snatches my side.

　--uh!

　This guy, despite his stupid habit, is used to fighting.

　It's folly to talk in the middle of a killing contest, but the dark certain had the body language of a strong man who was used to fighting.

　I backstepped and tried to pause the dark man.

'Born of Darkness, Spear of Chaos. To the fool who defies me...''

　--?

　The dark certainty starts mumbling something.

'I will not give you death!　--Darklance!

　I flick the flying spear of darkness away with one hand.

''--na!　Wa, my Abyssal Spear........with one hand!

　The Spear of the Abyss is.......just a dark lance, right?　I mean, don't you know that bloodsucking demon kings have a strong resistance to the dark attribute?　How could I not know that?

　I'm dismayed by the douchebag who has an astonished expression on his face in front of me.

"Magic doesn't work..... Then we can only bury them with the 'Thousand Needles'!
'Ha!　Don't give a big name to just 'rapier'!

　A dark certain who rushes in with his rapier at the ready, and I stick out my gaybolks. The dark man strikes away the thrusted gaybolks.

　Tsk!　When I see that I can't push it off with force this guy is an idiot, but his physical value is a B?

'Phew!　I know the weaknesses of the spearman. If only I could get into your pocket!

　The Dark One tries to land a quick kick to close the distance but I quickly sidestepped it and avoided a short pause.

'Ha!'　Only an opponent who is physically inferior to you would be able to use such a strategy!

　I snickered at the actions of the dark certainty, reappearing the spear and checking the dark certainty's actions.

''Will you have the same attitude in the face of my strange skill?　I will not go with the wind!　--Fast Thrust!

　--!

　As soon as I thought the Dark Certain's figure disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage, he entered my bosom with the speed of a moment and stabbed me in the abdomen. I feel a slight pain in my abdomen, but I sidestep the gaybolks and chase away the dark certainty that has entered my bosom.

''Hm?　Harder than I thought. What is that ... your clothes?　I'll wear it after I kill you.
I'm going to burn that tuxedo after I kill you.

　I answer the dark certainty with an irritated smile on my face.

''Nonsense. Prostrate yourself before my divine speed secret technique!　I have become the wind and I will avenge thee!　--Fast Thrust!

　The dark certainty enters my bosom again at a momentary speed and stabs me in the abdomen.

　The damage is small. It's not fatal, but it's a nasty attack.

　You pulled out every single stupid thing before attacking me........

　--!

　I tick back steps and try to get a distance between me and the dark certainty.

'Ha!　Don't waste your time!　You are fated to be unable to escape my divine speed secret technique!

　The Dark One rushed toward me, away from me.

"I am the wind and I will avenge thee!

　I declare the usual stupid words. 《Mist Separation》 is severe in trying to find the timing.

　However, if you politely tell me the timing of the attack--.

''-- 《Fast Thrust》!

　--Mist separation!

　The after-image of me pierced by the dark certainty turns into mist and dissipates.

"--!

　--Bastards!

　And then, as I materialized behind the Dark One, I powerfully swung my gaybolks down.

''Guaaaah!''

　With the shockwave generated from the tip of Gaybolc's blade, the dark certainty is blown into the marble wall.

"Ki, you........why do you.......use that profound technique--

　--Firelance!

　I released a spear of fire in pursuit of the moaning Dark Certain, and I sprinted to the collapsing Dark Certain.



　--May Rain Strike!

　A dark certain who suffers from the heat, unleashing a quick series of stabs.

''Ugh..........''

　Oh..... That's what I've been waiting for. You're still alive? I'm impressed as I look at the dark man who has become the breath of an insect.

　It's easy to put a stop to this but let's just check it out.

"This is your ultimatum. You have three seconds to tell me if you are going to die or surrender.

Ummm ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... this ... I'll.........
Then show me you are prepared to surrender.
It's... it's... it's... it's... it's... it's... ...ba?

　The dark certain muttered in an abrasive voice.

　I mean, it's hard to hear. I'll just need to regain my strength for a while.

"All hands on deck!

　I call Chloe and the rest of my crew over and take up the fallen rapier, just in case.

'If this a**h*le moves at all, kill him.
""Ha!"

　He surrounded the dark certainty on all sides of the dark certainty with his men with weapons and sprayed the dark certainty's head with crude recovery pills.

''Order your men to bring the [True Core]
Here?

　I shake my head at the trembling voice of a dark certain person who is holding a weapon at me from all sides, and I answer with a shake of my head.

''Hurry up, okay?　Because every time I'm ten minutes late, I'll attack you to shave off your regained strength, okay?
Yes!

　I waited for an hour.

　About the time the dark certainty was burned about six times as I declared, a giant bat appeared with a [True Core]. I receive the 【True Core】 that the Giant Bat brought with him and explain the procedure of surrender to the Dark One.

''Hold tightly to your feelings of submission to me and declare the words I'm about to say.
Yes, yes....
"I--Dark, the demon king.................hey!　What's your name?
This is Darkness Dracul III....
"I, Darkness Dracul III, the Demon King, renounce my life as the Demon King and 'surrender' to Theon, the Demon King. That's it. Do you remember?
Yes, sir.
Then declare!

　Shit!　That's an embarrassing name, even if it's to explain it. I command the Dark Certain, who responds with a trembling voice, with irritation.

''I--Darkness Dracul III, the Demon King, renounce my life as the Demon King and 'surrender' to thee--Demon King Zion.
I agree.

　.........

　.........

　.........

　--?

　Change is not coming any time soon. Did I get the dialogue wrong?　I had been asking the canon and writing notes, so I fired up the notes app on my smartphone to check it out.

　It's right, right?

　So that means....

'I see.... You have no desire to submit to me. You mean, you want to die?

　I put my killing intent into my hand that holds the gaybolks.

'Well, wait a minute!　Seriously, it's not true!　Just one more time ... just one more time ... give me a chance...

　I nodded silently as I looked at the dark certain person who was pleading with me in a hurry. Next time, if I fail, I'll kill him.

''Wah, I--the Demon King--Saburou, I renounce my life as the Demon King and 'surrender' to thee--the Demon King Zion.

　--!

　I unintentionally blow up at the declaration of a dark certain--reformed, sub-law, and mist up my killing intent.

"--Ready to accept..........

　I declared my words of acceptance for Demon King Saburo while holding back a laugh.

　Then, the [True Core], which had no reaction just now, shone and disappeared from my hand. At the same time, the area underneath my feet, the space, and the dominant area violently vibrated.

''>The control domain of Demon King Saburou has been controlled.

　＞＞We have succeeded in integrating the dominant domain. From now on, you will be granted 24 hours [pseudo-peace].''

　I took control of my smartphone and confirmed that Saburou's surrender had been successful.

　Thus, I welcomed my second former Demon King's men.
