Chapter 25 – The Most Powerful Demon Lord in History. Strikes Down the Knights
“Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!”
―-Gaeh.
“Gya”
Looks like Jessica got hit. That is something I absolutely cannot forgive.
“Let’s go, Jorm.”
“Understood.”
I step out the window. And then, I jumped over the fence.
Then, once outside, I made my way to the entrance.
“The inferior humans are getting on my nerves.”
“That hypocrite, they’re getting carried away because she shows compassion.”
“That incompetent. She does nothing but unnecessary things.”
That’s what the knights are saying.
The hypocrite and the incompetent would be referring to Lumiel.
“P, please, everyone is going to die.”
“Isn’t it really good, the number of that inferior race will decrease?”
“True, there are so many humans.”
“They multiply like dogs.”
Humans can reproduce at least once a year.
However, for elves and demons, that only happens once every few years.
I suppose that’s why the knights refer to humans as dogs.
There’s nothing more offensive than that.
“All you have to do is send a message to the princess, please.”
“You’re persistent. Inferior brat.”
The knight tried to hit Jessica, who held on to him desperately.
“Stop that!”
Lumiel’s voice echoed.
She must have noticed the commotion and came running from the Commander’s office.
However, the knight refused to stop. Without hesitation, he tried to hit Jessica.
I quickly closed the distance between me and the knight who was about to hit Jessica.
And just before the knight’s fist hit Jessica, I punched the knight away.
“Bubeeh”
The knight fell down, bleeding from the nose.
“As a knight, aren’t you ashamed to hit a child?”
I look at Jessica.
She must have been hit earlier. Her face was swollen from internal bleeding.
Her ankle was also swollen, although no bones were probably broken.
She may have sprained it when he fell.
“Jessica, are you okay?”
“Yes, but more than that, I had a request for the princess…”
I was about to ask Jessica what was going on, but the knights, enraged, shouted.
“Do you think you inferior humans will be forgiven for striking a great elven knight?”
“This needs to be punished.”
“K, Kil dem!”
The knight I punched shouted as he held back a nosebleed.
“Stop!”
Lumiel was about to leave the Knights’ post when the other knights stopped her.
There were five of them.
“Princess, don’t you still have some work to do?”
While being told this, she was being taken to the back of the building.
Lumiel also tried to resist, but she was no match for the five men.
Little by little, she was being dragged away.
“Let go! This is the Commander’s order!”
“When a superior officer is about to do something wrong, it is the subordinate’s job to reprimand them.”
The knights grinned as they tried to drag Lumiel away.
“Hey, let the princess go.”
“Noisy, the inferior race is trying to tell the elves what to do.”
“For now, let’s hurt the two arrogant humans and then sell them as slaves.”
“Yes, that would be good.”
And the knights draw their swords. There are four of them.
Not even worth my time.
“Enough of this—”
“Princess, please be a little quiet.”
Lumiel’s mouth was covered and she was dragged inside.
Then, the knight slashes at me and Jessica.
“Slow. Dear knights, shouldn’t you train a little more?”
I took out four knights in three seconds.
Punching each one in the face, breaking their noses, and even breaking their arms.
“Ideeee” “Aaaah”
“How is this inferior raaaace?” “Ideeaaah.”
The knights cower, clutching their arms as blood drips from their noses.
“Wow, Mr. Hyrum, you’re so strong.”
“These guys are just too weak.”
When I say that,
“Y-you! An inferior race, dare defy the great elves!”
The five knights who were forcibly dragging Lumiel come out.
And draw their swords.
“I don’t have time for this, Jessica. What happened?”
“There are monsters on the outskirts of the town again. This time there were more of them than yesterday.”
“I see, that means everyone’s home will be destroyed.”
“That’s not all. The roads are blocked and everyone can’t escape from the monsters.”
“That’s not good.”
“Kill them!”
As if to interrupt the conversation between me and Jessica, the knights shout and attack me.
Two of them drew their swords and slashed at me, and three others fired magic at me from the rear.
“No matter how many physical combat techniques an inferior human may acquire, they can’t beat magic! Hurry and become charred corpses!”
I broke the swords of the two men who were attacking me with my sword, broke their arms, and then punched them in the face.
Then, I grasped the fireball spell that came flying with my left hand.
“Is this the level of your magic? You really need training. Even monsters could beat you, right?”
“Wh, what did you do!”
“What are you so surprised about? It’s only natural that such a flimsy fireball was crushed by hand, right?”
“The human is getting cocky…”
“If that’s the case, hurry up and get serious, unleash your prided magic.”
“Damn it!”
And what was released were fireball spells of the same magnitude as before.
The knights seemed to have used their full strength from the start.
“This is really boring.”
I don’t even crush them. I swat away three fireballs.
And walk towards the knights.
“By a lowly human, how?”
“Because your magic is below that of a human.”
I slam my fist into their faces and break their arms.
“Gyaaaaaaaah” “Hiiiii” “Stay away stay awaaay”
Ignoring the shouting knights, I speak to Lumiel.
“Lumiel, let’s go.”
“Y, yes!”
Then I ran with Lumiel and Jessica to the place where the monster had appeared.
