The First Battle

Kiyota might be a bit stronger.

A red line was carved into demon Proz's cheek. Visibly was taken aback, Proz looked at the blood when he wiped it off from his cheek.

"You startle me."

There was no hidden meaning behind proz words he was just shocked that a mere human was able to give me scratch on his cheek, "I had no idea you were hiding your strength."

Proz dramatically stretched the palm on his hand. He studied it as if checking the color of his own blood.

"I am going to make you regret looking down on me, you Demon." Kiyota was enough assured that he would win this death battle.

"Ha ha ha " Zenon laughs. "I was certainly holding back, but you are just a poor weakling, after all. You have a long way to go before you are the real demon." Demon shaked his head.

"You are asking for it." Winning the battle would be easy for Kiyota if domon would not show any unique skill by any chance.

"Since we are both here, let me give you a taste of my true power." Zenon swing his sword.

The air changed as demon magic rise up on a sharper and deeper quality.

"Let me inform you one thing, mere human. I have never shown my true powers to an weakling creature yet . I am about to show you the skills of a true demon swordsman."

When demon announceed then the air pulsed around them.

"That's..." Kiyota was shocked.

This was not in the same ballpark as before.

Kiyota had never seen an attack with so much magic lurking behind it.

Their skills were as hopelessly on different level as a genius and a clod. He might even rival the hero.

Kiyota did not have the mean to defend himself against the devastating force of the approaching blade.

His reaction was involuntary, something that had became a part of him after many years of training.

There was not even a single impact.

The two swords clash, and kiyota's weapon was pulverized into fluttering bits of dust. He felt as though he was watching these sparkling fragments of mithril passed by him from far away.

Somewhere far from the battlefield.

Kiyota's childhood memories resurfaced in his brain of times when swinging his sword brought none other than pure enjoy.

His brother was always with him and this was the sweet memory that should have faded long ago.

"You can never be as good as your brother."

Demon proz knew it was single handled win and wanted to finish this battle as soon as possible otherwise backup might come.

A single tear fell from kiyota's eye.

"Your princess is coming with me and you are going to die here, I have made up my mind." Demon Proz declared his final words.

Falling from Kiyota's hand, the measly hilt that was once a sword had hitted the fground with a dry, metallic clang.

Click, click... Click...

And there was a sound coming from forest behind Demon Proz.

Click, click, click.

Someone was coming towards him.

Click, click, click, click.

When the noise ceases, there was a boy in a royal coat in front of them, dressed entirely in pure black. He had his hood pulled up and wore the mask of a mage.

The man calmly was going forword, stopping one step just outside the range of their weapons.

"A kid... a royal... So you are the weakling dog who dares to touch at the demons." There was a sharp shine in demon's eyes as he glared at the intruder.

"I am Light from Black shadows, who came to pay a visit to this continent."

His voice was as deep and as dark as the void.

"Oh, I see. It looks like You have an to much ego from destroying our little battle."

This was good news for Kiyota, princes who had not came out from carriage yet, but he did not think this boy was his ally.

"It does not matter who or what I choose to destroy. It's all the same."

Odds were difficult of escaping from battle for Princes and knights. They had to wait till back up arrives untill this find must continue.

"You are sadly mistaken, kid. Today, I am going to hunt you down with my bare hands. This is your fate."

Demon turned his sword towords Light.

"My name is Demon Proz, the next one to fill the vacant chair of the head of demon research and development.

Taking kid life will be my other achievement for them."

With that declaration, Demon unleashed a gale of an attack at Light.

But Shadow was gone, and he slashed through empty space.

"Wait... What the?!"

Then The next moment, Shadow was standing behind him. It only took a second before Shadow took that position.

Demon Proz could not able to move.

As if Demon had lost track of the time, he stills had his sword and then holded his breath to focus every single of his magical energy on the man standing behind him.

Nobody budged.

It was damn true. Light stood back-to-back with Demon, arms crossed.

He uttered one sentence: "Well I thought you were planning to kill me."

Demon twisted his face in humiliation. He then sliced downward from over his shoulder.

But no one was there.

"Absurd!"

Demon heared a coat rippling through the air and looked back to find Light standing where he originally appeared, as if nothing had changed.

Even Kiyota had completely lost track of Light as she watched from the sidelines. If this was not a magic trick or anything, then Kiyota considered him a mastermind... No, he was much stronger than that a typical mastermind.

Suppressing his frustration, Demon slowly turned around.

"It looks like I have slightly underestimated your power.But now..."

This time, Zenon strengthened his magic energy as he kept an eye on Light. The air undulated from that magic power. This was more intense than the strike that shattered Kiyota's sword.

Light was indeed an extraordinary swordsman. And now Demon was now less than the average soldier.

"Well than I will show you the true power of the demon who is going to rule over the Demon Research and Development ."

That was So fast that Kiyota and knights barely managed to follow Demon's sword with their own eyes.

The afterimage of the bare blade teared the air and headed toward for Light's neck.

To be Continued.
