The emperor’s words were like cold knives that flew over and pierced Damanos’ and Galiya’s chests and crushed their pride. There were only seven demon kings in the demon world. They ruled over an unknown number of demons and demonic creatures, making them literally kings of the demon world.
However, they had no confidence in defeating their opponent and decided to attack together. The emperor’s words were true, so they couldn’t refute them.
“What does that mean?!” Damanos was enraged by the emperor’s words.
The emperor touched the shame that had risen in his heart. The fact that demon kings had to join together to attack a human hurt his pride.
Damanos’s figure disappeared and reappeared right in front of the emperor’s nose with his fist dyed black. As Damanos stretched out his fist, the air exploded. Upon seeing that, the emperor laughed and swung his fist. The emperor’s fist shone silently with seven colors and moved slowly like it was erasing the surroundings.
Moments later, the emperor’s fist and Damanos’ fist collided, sending intangible waves sweeping out around them. The violent fluctuations shook and broke things. The ground was cracked and turned upside down.
‘What is this?’ Hyeonu raised a hand to cover his face. Sand and dust rose and blew everywhere. This was all due to Damanos and the emperor and the collision of their fists. When the floating particles sank, Hyeonu’s vision finally became clear. He gazed at where the emperor and Damanos stood.
Their fists kept constant contact like cogs running smoothly without any error, and no one pushed the other. Then they came to a stop, still with their fists touching.
“Hey, is this a demon king? Is this a demon king? Yes, this is a demon king!” The emperor burst out laughing.
At first, the emperor cocked his head and showed a questioning expression. Then it gradually changed to ridicule. He was disappointed in the level of Damanos, who was a demon king. There were only seven demon kings in the demon world. So the fact that Damanos’ power was only at this level made him laugh.
“You were stagnant in peace, demon king—no, insect.”
The moment the emperor’s words were over, lights of seven colors hovered around him. These lights were spheres of different sizes, and they gathered to form a seven-colored sphere before flying quickly to Damanos. Damanos frowned when he saw the spheres heading toward him. At the same time, he raised his magic power, and black spheres appeared behind him.
The number of black spheres was exactly the same as the ones the emperor had created. Damanos’ spheres immediately moved to intercept the emperor’s spheres. Every time the spheres of the emperor and Damanos collided, there was an explosion, and the roar of the explosion was accompanied by shockwaves. The shockwaves didn’t cause as much damage as during the first collision, but there were more collisions this time, so the aftermath was similar.
‘It wasn’t to this extent with Rubolle...’ Hyeonu recalled that the scale of the battle between Rubolle and John Blake hadn’t been to this extent.
‘Is the emperor stronger? It doesn’t seem like it...’
To Hyeonu’s knowledge, John Blake was stronger than the emperor. The reason for such a conviction was that Lebron had said so.
‘The fight is too flashy.’
Hyeonu thought the fight was more dramatic than it needed to be. There was a specific reason why he felt this way.
‘The important thing to note here is that there are two demon kings...’
This was the problem. If the emperor were unable to beat Damanos easily, the current situation would become a great crisis since there were two demon kings who came to Etono. It definitely wasn’t a good situation.
‘The timing sucks.’
It was really fishy that they came the moment Lebron was away. Even if the timing was wrong, it couldn’t be so terrible.
“First, let’s help the emperor,” Hyeonu murmured. It would be difficult for Hyeonu to directly participate in the combat as the emperor and Damanos were on a different level from him. Nevertheless, he didn’t necessarily have to help with his sword.
“Tang-E, come out.” Hyeonu summoned Tang-E. The summoned Tang-E wasn’t as mischievous as usual and quietly buried himself in Hyeonu’s arms.
“There are many terrible guys here, Master dude,” Tang-E cried out from Hyeonu’s arms. After all, there were two demon kings and the emperor here, and a fierce battle was currently taking place between a demon king and the emperor. It would be stranger if Tang-E were not afraid.
“Tang-E, can you place some buffs on the blond man over there? He is on our side.” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head and pointed at the emperor. Tang-E’s buff was a cheat that could tilt the situation instantly.
“Understood, Master dude.” Tang-E nodded and raised his paws toward the emperor. A tricolored light poured from Tang-E’s paws and quickly seeped into the emperor’s body. The emperor immediately felt the changes that occurred to his body. His entire body was now full of strength and as light as a feather.
“This cute friend is very talented.” The emperor looked at Tang-E and smiled. It was a perfect smile right down to the tails of his eyes.
The emperor’s movements changed a lot, and he showed an overwhelming appearance that was different from the previous battle. The moment the emperor raised his fist, lights of seven colors appeared and wrapped around him together. This light was different from before; it wasn’t just increasing the power of the pure energy.
It pulled things in from the surroundings like a black hole. In other words, it was a terrible attraction power. The force was strong enough to pull in the nearby Damanos. The emperor aimed his fist at Damanos, who was being pulled over with a flustered expression, and struck his arm. There was the sound of a stone breaking, and Damanos was sent flying away.
“Damanos!” Galiya moved toward Damanos as he flew through the air. Galiya grabbed hold of Damanos’ body and returned to his original spot.
“This arm... The wound isn’t recovering,” Galiya muttered as he looked at Damanos’ arm. He didn’t know what the emperor had done, but he could see that Damanos’ wounded arm wasn’t recovering. Basically, the demons and demonic creatures had a very good regeneration ability, let alone a demon king. Even if their arms were cut off and their internal organs disappeared, they would regrow. Yet the fracture in Damanos’ arm wasn’t recovering, despite being only a mild injury.
