"A year from now, I swear I'll defeat you."

***

It has been a month since my battle with Sakase.

Waving my hand to goad the enemy, it seemed a demon had invaded the kingdom. It called itself as one of the "new 4 heavenly King, demon general.", an officer of the second most highest caliber in the demon army. The only ones standing above would be the demon king.

"The demon lord has awakened. We have finally confirmed his existence due to the numerous marks he left. We've been waiting for a long time, advancing technology and collecting intelligence. Now is finally the time for the Demonic revolution!" (4 heavenly Kings, 2nd place Demonic general, Uegauss treia)

He stood with a tall stature and a rough gait that told of the many battles he had experienced. On his head was 2 large horns akin to a bull's, however he had the body of a humanoid and a mask that covered his facial features. The edges of his body could be seen through his form fitting clothes, his muscles chiseled like that of a statues.

Each chunk of muscle stood out as its own region, covered by a thin magical cloth that served as clothes. On his waist was a metal belt that held a sheathed sword, followed by metal plating that covered single one of his limbs. His torso remained only with the thin black cloth, while his pants was thick enough to hide the shape of his crotch. His feet remained without shoes as they plant themselves firmly on the ground, bare.

" Oh ho~? You do not know of mine great self? I am Uegauss treia, the divine manipulator.

After 11 years ago, when the previous heavenly 4 launched all they had and still got annihilated, the demons grew rowdy. There was plenty of unrest, however the ones with resolve naturally stood forward and lead the country to organisation.

Motivated ones, interested ones, ones with courage and determination, all manners of demons have come and stepped up to form the new 4 heavenly demon Kings.

Know this, there are more of us than you think. Even if the last 4 died, there are plenty just as strong wandering around to be found. We have taken up this mission to take back our lands after a thousand years. "(Uegauss)

From his title, he seem to actually be some kind of mage who moves inanimate and animate objects to his will. I have to be careful not to get hit.

" And we've been containing that grudge for a thousand years... Listen, even if you are a little girl, I was told by my advisor not to let down my guard. So I'll have to wipe this place out here and now..." (Uegauss)

A mysterious pressure soared from Lilith's body, as if every tiny little pore, the millions perhaps billions on her skin exuded dense mana and killing intent. Killing intent was an inaccurate term, it was most usually referring to the fear a prey feels when it has encountered a predator, an instinct that leaned more toward survival. Such is the power gap of the 2 individuals to allow such a phenomenon to occur.

His neck leaked cold sweat all over his back, his limbs twitching ever so slightly, though the motion invisible to the naked eye. However if anyone caught it, they would understand he was undergoing true fear. He had attempted to erase the capital, by accelerating his speed to absurd amounts, he was able to cause an explosion and erase countries. However that didn't work in this kingdom, an unknown barrier collapsed upon contact. A secondary barrier withstood all the resultant shockwaves, keeping the city completely safe.

After a while, the barriers were gone and he had attempted to find the owner of the barriers. He had an inkling of the owner's identity due to her fame in the demon kingdom. So he arrived at the school and was met with her curious gaze at the entrance. It turned out to be a mere child, but after a few exchanges in a conversation, he can definitely confirm it now. That this child was an unadulterated monster. Her subconsciously released aura was able to intimidate him, and it seemed her purposefully released killing intent shook him to the very core. It took all he had to contain his heart and stay composed.

He had a secret to his combat abilities. Training from a young age, he tempered with his body to the point that it could survive a nuke with barely a few scratches. That was due to an ability, [Manipulate(True)]. Unlike the common skill, it was a version that could be used on anything. Even himself. So he used it to move his body to unprecedented speeds, obliterating anything that came close with mere velocity. Abusing this method, he climbed the ranks and made it to the second highest of the 4 heavenly Kings. The first being another monster, though not as much as the little girl standing before him.

In the first place, he needed to specify the perimeters of his self-body manipulation, or it would over use his mana. The faster he made himself move, the more mana he expended. That was why he was quite low currently, as he had used a large amount only to have his nuke attack blocked by a ridiculously tough barrier. Usually such attacks would crash through barriers like glass, though this time was an exception due to the barrier's master. He couldn't grow in strength, vitality or intelligence with this skill and had to level those naturally. Though such trivialities were discarded when he broke his level cap to 3000 as a heavenly King.

Though he had expended a lot of mana and considered 70% of his mana pool as 'low', he had a sufficient amount to wipe out this city of humans. The barrier could have been using a similar skill as his, so defending against his attack would take a similar amount of mana. Best case, it would overuse the enemy's mana and kill them from it. Such was not the case at all as the owner stood right in front of him, full of vigour and power that it practically leaked out of her body

"Kuh! Grrrrrrrr" (Uegauss)

Filled to the brim with tension, his body told him to run, however he could not let the demon army lose face here. He had to take her out, such a monster shouldn't be allowed to exist. Once again he thought to himself, resolved himself, readied himself. She had to be defeated, not only for the demons, but for all living beings. As she was a threat comparable to the demon king, though her alignment isn't as clearly defined.

Unlike the demon king that's tied to their occupation of trying to improve the lives of demon kind, this individual's association is unknown. For all he knew, she was a threat that could wipe out all living things and needed to be quickly subjugated. His nerves burn themselves up from the sheer fear that caressed and held his heart hostage.
