125-Episode 44: The Devil Is the Devil



It's not just a matter of training a demon. It's a skill that strengthens the follower. Hence, of course, my demons are stronger than wild ones.
"Hmm.
The same goes for these demons. These aren't just high-level demons. They are now as powerful as any demon with a title.

 The old man said, and smiled confidently and with a cheeky smile.
 Then suddenly his eyes sharpened.

I don't care if they are mythical demons or not. He'll be able to get his nose out of his ass.

 At that declaration, the audience sprang up.

'What a declaration of victory for King Tamer! For the first time ever, King Tamer's odds were humblingly predicted to be much lower than the challenger's, but still, the King Tamer was going to show what a champion he was.

 The grandfather lightly lifted his staff, and on cue, the five demons stepped forward.

''Hmmm, let's show the boy what we're capable of.
"Mythical grade, no shortage of opponents.
"Walla Walla, Shouli, Suru.
Whew, whew, whew.
....

 I've heard that some of them can talk.

"I suppose they can't wait to fight. Let's get this thing started.
Yeah, I'm ready for it.
"...is it strange? Then why do you have the demons waiting at your back?
Look closely. He's there.

 And that's when the old man finally noticed his presence.

''Why did I do this........''

 Spitting abominably, Matty was relative to the five kindred spirits.

'Order, order,'
Yes, yes, sir, I understand, master.

 The old man raised an eyebrow.

''You don't think you're going to let that low-grade demon fight these guys, do you?''
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a devil for a devil, you know?
"Oh, well, we have a lot to answer for. And there's only one by the looks of it. Could it be that I'm presbyopic?
Don't worry. I can see it.

 The five demons look at Matty and sneer at him.

'Oh, my, my lovely kindred,'
"Vulnerable as a feather in a cap.
Hataite, holy cow.
Whew, whew, whew.
....

 Some of them don't know what they're thinking, though.

By the way, master. You don't want us to fight like this, do you?
Don't worry. We'll get you your old self back.

 As expected, I wouldn't be able to fight in that form.
 I released the restrictions on my power that had bound Matty.

 Immediately after, Matty regains his original power and form.

 He looks like a human man in his early twenties.
 He has a slender body and pure white skin.
 His black hair stood up sharply upside down as if rebelling against the heavens, and his eyes had a reddish tint.

''This, this is...! The squire who was thought to be just a low-grade demon has revealed his true form...! I knew he was a servant of trainer Arrell! Looks don't seem to deceive you, ah!'

 Of course, it's not just her appearance that has changed.
 An enormous amount of magical power poured out of Matty's entire body.
 As if pressured by it, the five demons stepped back.

''Wha........you mean this guy is also a senior demon.......?''

And there's nothing to worry about.
I don't care who they are, I will put them down.
Hey, there, Yuri, I'm happy to help.
Whew, whew, whew.
....

That's the equivalent of a knighthood. Well, a baron, or at most a viscount... but... but...

 Matty glared at the five demons with his red eyes, glaring at them.

''From the point of view of this true lordly demon mastima-sama, you are no better than a low class demon!
""~~~~?"

 Matty shouted angrily, and the five demons shuddered.
 The previous fullness of himself is nowhere to be found, and he begins to tremble and tremble.

'Oi oi, you're too big of a figure, you guys?'

 The demons hurriedly fell to their knees on the spot.

''Gyahahahaha! I think you get the picture! That's the difference between us!

''What, my God, the King Tamer's followers have been subjugated! Incredible sight! Who in the world would have expected this to happen! Against only one of their own kind, those King Tamer's, those most powerful demons, have admitted their defeat without a fight?''

 The audience was in an uproar.

'This is the Marquess class, seriously...?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... there's no way that's going to be in here...
Do demons really have titles in the first place?
I heard that's what it says in an adventurer's journal of exploration...

 The old man's wrinkled lips quivered and he reprimanded his followers.

What are you doing? Do you want to rub my face in the face of the king tamer?
".........

 However, the demons didn't even reply and remained kneeling in front of Mattie.

''Well.........in this situation, we have no choice but to use the thing. I didn't think they would suddenly use the inner workings of the hand.

 Grandpa's face was twisted in a hateful manner and he shouted.

"Trainer Wangwei! Now fight that demon!

 Suddenly, the demons stood up as if they were motivated by something.
 At the same time, they all leapt at Mattie at once.

''Ho-ho-ho! The skill set of the King of Devourers to force his followers to do what he wants them to do! And in addition, he'll temporarily enhance your abilities significantly, two birds with one stone! The repercussions of that, though, will be great!

 I see... it's the "heavenly destiny" type of skill your sister was using.
 But--

'Ha! You're wasting your time! At best, this absolute difference won't be bridged even if the low grade becomes intermediate!
""~~~~~~?"

 --in an instant, he was returned.
