Higawari Teni - Chapter 2

 Professional demon king exterminator
There are many ways to complete the task of eliminating the demon king, but among all these there is a very important one.
And it's to confirm the rules.
There are many patterns associated with the demon king, and if I fail to grasp it, I will lose a lot of time.

The first and easiest to understand of all of them is, the monster's king pattern.
Since in that case, the one who leads the monters is an intellectual demon.
On the other hand, if the demon king who leads them is powerful or charismatic, in most cases, is a self-proclaimed, or is a feared existence from the side of humans.
For me in particular, these guys make life easier for me. Search and Destroy. I can make everything end if I crush them.
No matter how powerful it is, it's wonderful that there is only one.

The following is one of the most annoying patterns that exist, and is when there are more than one demon king.
This is one of many possible derivations of the pattern above mentioned, and it's when there are many powerful people fighting each other and calling themselves "demon king".
If the summoner's desire is vague, such as, "defeat the demon king", then my duty doesn't end until I finish all of them.
There were times when I had to pursue the daughter or son of the demon king.
Although there are many, I must defeat all the demon kings, so the difficulty doesn't increase any more than that. It's only troublesome.

And the last pattern is, the immortal demon king.
There were certain cases in which a certain procedure was necessary to kill it, sometimes it will not die if it isn't with a specific weapon, other times the heart is stored in a different dimension. In other words this is the most difficult pattern to kill a demon king.
But if I had to speak of the most heartless case, then is, when one must wait one hundred years until the resurrection of the demon king who is asleep in the underground world.
For having carelessly defeated the demon king, without knowing the reason, I had to stay loitering in that world for a hundred years.
But thanks to having a cheat, I was able to enjoy that kind of slow life. I even got married and had kids.
Ah, by the way, I don't grow old. I mean, I can't grow old even if I want to... Let alone my wife, but seeing the kids dying before me, it's really hard... Ah, I moved away from the topic.

By the way, there were demon kings who couldn't really die, so sometimes there was no other solution than to destroy the world together with the demon king. And when there were times when nothing more could be done, that shitty god took into account the situation in which I was and sent me to other worlds... Tsk!
But if it is now, then I have the cheat that makes it possible for me to kill immortals, so I don't have to worry too much about patron three.

And although I think there are many other patterns, but most are the same.
Because most templates are cliches, there is no need to sort each one.

「Now, this looks a lot like the pattern number one」

The demon king Akuda must be alone and for now I haven't heard anything about him being immortal.
And even if the true demon king is behind controlling him like a puppet, that would only increase the number of demon kings that I should kill.
It's within the range of error.

「But, it seems that to enter the castle of the demon king Akuda one should capture all towers scattered across the land that are forming the barrier」
「Hee」

In a certain bar such rumor was floating around.
At first glance, it seems to be information that would force me to take a detour, but I didn't take a pessimistic view at all.

「Well, that's what a barrier is supposed to do. At the end of the day, they only serve to imprison the enemies, or to keep the invaders out」

After gathering all the information I needed, I went to the demon king's castle.



So I arrived into the edge of the barrier.
Completely ignoring all the monsters on my way here.
Although there were oceans and mountains in my path, I ignored them completely and went straight.
It's really convenient to have the Shukuchi cheat of movement. (NT: Shukuchi is the Japanese word for the power of teleportation attributed to some sennin and xian. Those possessing this ability were believed to be capable of moving vast distances in a single step.)

「Then, what kind of barrier we have here?」

Immediately, I active the appraisal eyes.

「It's the King's force field type. Only monsters and those who are demon king's companions can enter without any problem」

In addition, the result of carefully investigating the barrier with my appraisal eyes, I could realize that the barrier can differentiate between the magic waves of humans and demons.
Understanding up to this point, it's as if the barrier itself didn't exist.
Surely they think that the magic waves are inborn and that they don't change at all. But it's not like I should worry about that either.

「Worlds in which you can modify your magic waves are not rare at all」

On the contrary, there are worlds where being able to use magic waves is a type of magic.
As long as there is the possibility of learning, there is the possibility that even I can learn it.

There is an infinite variety of levels of magic, it may be that only in this world hasn't been discovered yet.
Common sense varies according to each world.
And thanks to that difference in common sense I was able to change the value of my magic waves to that of a monster, and so, able to pass through the barrier without any problem at all.

「Well, then. It's time to conquer the demon king's castle」

It's been 4 hours and 33 minutes since I was summoned to this world.
I smashed the gate of the demon king's castle down.



「Im-Impossible! Has the barrier been destroyed!」
「Even when the tower's reaction hasn't disappeared, just how the heck!」
「I don't care how, but stop that guy!」

Disregarding the confused monsters, I keep moving forward.
Against me, the structure of the labyrinth has no meaning whatsoever. If necessary, I can destroy the walls.
Sometimes, when the world imitates the structure of a game, the walls are designated as indestructible, but in those cases, using the command console, and entering the code, vanish, it can delete the wall itself, so what I have to do it doesn't change at all.

「Oneself is the first gatekeeper, Gramps. To pass here you muー〈pegii〉!?」
「One of the four heavenly kings, Diskaopusu from the dark lands. With this deteriorate smash axe, you willー〈pugya-〉!」
「I'm the demon king's daughter, Shiannu! To those who wish to disturb my father will bー! What are you doing!?」

I was capturing it in such way.
Gaining total control without listening their complaints and useless questions is my policy.
And since I took a liking to the daughter of the demon king, I put her to sleep after teasing her for a while, then I threw her the seal ball and I got her!

Ah, it's not like I kidnapped her for erotic reasons.
There is the possibility that she is true daughter of the demon king, so I will release her in another world.
But if she feel like it, she could become one of my wives.

「Oh, an ominous gate that looks meaningful is discovered」

Surely that is the demon king's room.
I open it violently,
Then, from that point on, only darkness, and a myriad of candles of skulls eerily burning.

「Well done coming here hero. Let me congratulate you on having reached this point after defeating my many subordinates」

And in the innermost place of the throne.

「I'm the demon king Akuda. The one who will cover this world in the darkness」

I step up slowly.

「Art thou the hero?」
「That's right. I'm the one who has been summoned to this world to defeat you」

I declared without stopping my steps.
I said with ample killing intent while soaked in joy.

「I can see it... The darkness in your heart. You are nothing like a hero」
「Wow, so you are aware」

As he said, I'm absolutely nothing like a hero.

「If it is a person like you, a slaughterer, then you should walk with us. So why, why have you side yourself with such inferior creatures?」

The demon king talks.
The demon king deceives.
It tries shaking the mind, deceiving, and then breaking the hero's support pillar.

「Indeed, a classical type. You」

To this kind of demon king I willfully classify it as a great demon king type,
The aura that this demon king brings forth is completely different from the many other worthless ones.
It's not only strong, no, on the contrary, it's overwhelming powerful... In addition, it can afford to be calm.
It has power as a background, it plays with words and it's enjoying this side show.
Not knowing its limits gave life to the charism which makes others follow it.

As a matter of fact, I don't hate this way of doing things.
A magnanimous man is a person who often thinks splendid things, this one has a satisfying talkative capability and I can enjoy a conversation with him.
The reason why I didn't immediately crush the head of the demon king is because sometimes there are these kinds of demon kings that allow me to enjoy a conversation.

「It's not my business what happens to the inhabitants of this world. It's just that defeating you is the best way to get back fast. That's the only reason」
「For return to one's home. Indeed, it's true in a sense」

Demon King Acuda narrows his eyes and laughed.

「However, that desire will not come true. As long as there is darkness in this world I will continue resurrecting. No matter how many times」

Ah, this is the pattern three?
This guy is really a big shot.

「You will revive as long as there is darkness. I see, rather than a demon king, you're closer to a evil god」
「Exactly. Although I didn't think that an inferior creature with a short life could understand it」

I understand it.
The concept of treating things like darkness as something divine to resurrect exists everywhere, is already the same as a god.
I may not be able to kill someone immortal.

But well, if we are talking of gods, then there are ways.

「You will be killed before that」
「I only hear babbling. If you think you can do it then do it」

Thus, we both laughed violently and started the fight.



The match reached the conclusion the next moment.

「Co-ugh... How...?」

Unable to believe what just happened, the demon king Akuda fixes his gaze on his chest as he cough blood.
What it was sprouting from there was the handle of a sword. The demon king was unable to see the sword as it was piercing its chest leaving its back sewn on the throne.

「Yes, the end」

At the same time I declare, I shrug my shoulders.

「No matter what level of evil god you are, that sword will undoubtedly kill you. Since it has destroyed the concept itself, you the existence itself who rules the darkness, that you have. If there is darkness you can revive? Heeey, such a thing is impossible」
「Im-Impossible...!?」

Maybe he realized that the sword that runs through him is more deadly than what I understand.
Judging by the expression of the demon king Akuda, any kind of advantage that he had disappeared.

「Something like killing the concept of a god! You, who the heck are you!?」
「Nobody special? To begin, one of the worlds in which I was, a Godslayer is quite a cheap theme. Rather than a boom, it reach the domain of being a template. Aah, even today a god was cut into pieces, is high school girls talks this days」

To the me who is〈Kera kera〉 laughing, the demon king Akuda encloses all his hatred in his smile and stares me.

「That is impossible... I, with such shape, to end like this」
「...End comes to any person. It comes suddenly, without caring whether the person was prepared or not」
「Wh-y. Why do you possess a weapon capable of killing a god?」

Ah, this guy... This guy has noticed this point.
God slaying sword is not something you can have without reason, because killing a god is not something that one day you are able to do it.
There is always a story behind it.

We could have continued talking about many things if he was not in such a shape, good grief.
Well it's okay, I'll tell him as a farewell gift.

「This is called the God Destroying Sword. This is sword is my prided item that I have forged personally in order to kill the guy I want so badly to kill」

God Slaying.
It's one of the motivations that allows me to continue traveling between worlds without admitting defeat.
It goes without saying who I want to kill.

...No, to tell you the truth, I had nothing to do in a game type world so I had chosen the blacksmith class to kill time, and I made it accidentally.

The demon king didn't respond.
Has he lost the strength to speak?
It's likely he will disappear soon enough.

That was my carelessness.

「My daughter...」
「Huh?」
「Please... take care of my daughter」

At the last moment, the demon king left such words.
Before I can completely refuse, he completely disappears.

「Shit...」

Since that particular demon king didn't summon me, that doesn't enter into the covenant.
However, such last request is unfair.
No matter how many times they do it, it's not something I can't get used.

A few minutes later.
A magic square appeared beneath my feet.
