7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling - Chapter 82: Idiot And The End of Their Road

８２． Idiot And The End of Their Road

Good day, this is the Demon Prince Jilbagias who looked dumbfoundedly at the idiot who picked a fight with him.

I was speechless… Platy did warn me before, alas, I’m still the son of Demon King you know? Thus I’ve been wondering what kind of an idiot tried to mess with me?

『――Maybe it’s your fate.』

Sofia also said the same thing.

『I also have no idea about the ecology of small fry among the demon race but…』

Ecology of small fry huh?

『As long as Jilbagias-sama gives an example that you’re not a pushover among the same rank, and considering that the Reiju clan might keep a watch on you, it might affect your entire life. It’s a high-risk high-return gamble.』

… That kind of influence was worthless before the demon prince, nor will it affect me in the least, ain’t that mean it had more demerit than merit?

Rather… Ain’t that a pretty big risk to take knowing that I’m being watched by the Reiju clan, the only clan responsible for medical treatment in the demon kingdom, right?

『Nope, the one who set up things doesn’t have such influence to begin with, but there’s nothing wrong with getting a better accomplishment. In any case, the turn to receive treatment might be postponed even if you don’t do anything alas… Arbitrarily cutting corners during treatment is prohibited by His Majesty…』

Aah, meaning that the idiot before me had nothing to lose huh…

『And the people who are trying to use them have no problem with treating these idiots like disposable pawns. All they are doing is spreading rumors so that they will look down on you and think that you’re actually weaker than them and only managed to rise to your position due to your mother’s connection…』

Surely, my actual age was younger than how I looked on the outside, not to mention that my outer appearance was far younger than an adult, that’s why they looked down on me. They might think something along the lines of 『This brat must be a pushover』, especially when we were in the same rank.

『It seems none of the existing factions use them, so it must be the deed of some clan. They might be some hopeless idiots, cast out of the clan who can’t get proper information on the situation…』

――Thank goodness I wasn’t born in that kind of clan. Otherwise, defeating the Demon King might be a pipe dream…

Nevertheless, they still had to pay the price for their rude attitude toward the prince.

『Since it’s a fight with your pride on the line, it mustn’t be simple violence. It mustn’t be a simple victory in a brawl. Those who yield to those below them have no qualification to stand above the other. The winner is justice, trampling them underfoot. It has always been that way even before the founding of the Demon Kingdom. Those with the same peerage rank themselves with power, regardless of their birth or lineage…』

Yup… That’s a barbarian for you…

『 Some will have profited if others lose their influence due to a quarrel with those kinds of idiots. And they lost nothing even if the plan failed.』

Honestly, I couldn’t really understand, did that mean they did this to me because I had some influence with me?

『Even if your other siblings have nothing to do with this, the same can’t be said about their mother and their clan.』

What a sound reason.

「――Oi, where’s your voice? Could it be that you’re too scared to speak?」

I, who recalled those conversations, was called back to reality as the thugs called me out.

Unfortunately, that idiot was still standing in front of me. He might have done this because this was a risky gamble, or because of the instigation of someone, or simply because he was an idiot.

… Was he trying to rile me up by saying 『You only became a viscount thanks to your Mama』?

When I casually looked around, I saw that the older demon race was looking at us as if they saw some interesting spectacle while the night elves and beastfolk employees were trembling in fear upon looking at this situation.

「Hah, you’re still here huh.」

Well, I still had to deal with him sooner or later anyway.

「If you have a business with me, make it short. Unlike you, I’m a busy person.」

「… Hah?」

When I told him so while folding my arms, looking back at him, the blonde ba*stard’s cheek twitched.

… I thought he had rare, blonde hair for a demon race alas, I realized upon a closer look that the root of his hair was a different color. Did that mean he dyed his hair? Could it be that he was actually trying to make himself look like the current Demon King… Gordesgias?

If that was the case… His son was right before your very eyes…

「Show some respect to your senior, Brat!」

Said the blonde bastard with a threatening face.

「Right back at you. Is that how you address a stranger? Is that how your mama taught you about it?」

I shot right back at him with a confident smile on my face.

「Could it be that she actually taught you proper manners but… You’re too stupid to remember it properly?」

“Prick” It seems my remark hit his sore spot , he slowly stretched his hand.

Did he want to grab my collar and pin me down with the difference between our physique? I might have had a hard time due to the difference between our physique. Once he managed to lift my body in the air, I would be at his mercy.

On the other hand, if I dodged his hand or retreated, he might say something like “You got scared eh?” or something along those lines…

Dammit, this kind of thing was really troublesome.

「Manners? Manners you say?」

And just as I thought, the blonde ba*stard grabbed my collar as he spoke with a threatening face.

「Which part of you do I need to show my manners to? You’re just a snobbish brat who flaunts his status! Ain’t gonna bow my head to a bastard like you who buys your status by having your mama and her lackey to slay a dragon!」

Too close dammit, your spit flew at my face.

It seems this guy was under the impression that Faravugi was subjugated by another guy, and I just stole their achievement.

「I’m the one who defeated the dragon. That’s enough achievement to justify my peerage.」

「Heh, DON’T SCREW WITH ME! A PATRIARCH OF DRAGONS AIN’T GONNA BE DEFEATED BY A SCRAWNY BRAT LIKE YOU!」

The blonde bastard let out a triumphant smile as if I just made a blunder.

「If you really did it yourself… Show, your power!」

After he grabbed my collar and lifted my body in the air―― He kicked me immediately.

Woah, aiming for my face huh. Surely, there was a height difference between us but, was there really this much of gap between our physique? Moreover, I, who got suspended in the air, couldn’t dodge the incoming kick. I mean, I’m still a freaking 5 years old kid you know?

『That woman(Platy) is right, being a lesser knight is truly a protection amulet for you~.』

Agreed.

This kind of environment was unsuitable for a 5 years old kid with viscount peerage.

I twisted my body in the air to minimize the impact from the kick while taking the kick with my face. The kick landed straight on my nose and blew me away.

The blonde bastard smirked happily when he saw me rolling on the ground.

「You took it straight on yer face eh, it seems only your mouth is big, small fry!!」

Said the blonde bas*tard turning around to his lackey as he was laughing at me. Try to say that without making me unable to dodge your kick in the air dammit.

「Come to think of it, I haven’t heard your name yet.」

I asked him as I stood back on my feet while exhaling the blood in my nose, looking as if it was no big deal.

「… Hah?」

「Since you dare to brag that far, you must be a warrior right? Now name yourself.」

The blonde bas*tard squinting his eyes, looking at me who spoke with a faint smile on my face with a look of suspicion. Did he think that I’m gonna cry with this degree of injury?

Alas, the blonde bas*tard sneered at me as he spoke.

「Don’t get cocky, kid. Dragon aside, you won’t even survive against human race’s soldier if you can’t even dodge that kick just now.」

… Hah?

「Oops, I forgot that this young master has yet to experience his first battlefield. Be very carefu~l, human soldier are scary you kno~w.」

Seeing the blonde bas*tard and his lackey jeering at me――

Don’t screw with me.

These guys were dead meat.

「… Is that all you want to say?」

I reigned my anger in and asked with my most composed voice even though my eyes were twitching from anger.

「Oops, it seems he got pissed off. Sorry for the prank, now go back to your mama’s place quickly.」

「As expected of an idiot. I’ve told you to 『Name』 yourself. Are so stupid to the point that you even forgot your own name?」

I spoke exaggeratedly in a disappointed manner as I signaled with my hand to come.

「Come at me. I’m tired of looking at your goblin-like face. I’ll smash that horn of yours.」

「… Don’t get to cocky, you shitty brat!」

「That’s my words. I can’t believe that I am actually wasting my time for an idiot who can’t even remember his own name.」

「YOU SAID IT NOW, SHI*TTY BRAT!」

The blonde bastard rushed ahead immediately, seemingly pissed off by my provocation.

「――It’s Viscount Megalos from the Anoitos clan! Remember it well, kid!」

He did so while announcing his name.

… Here I should respond to him by 【Naming】 myself alas, since the use of magic was considered as cheating in unarmed combat, I had to make do with pure skill.

Alas, I could deal with this kind of thug with pure skill even without boost from 【Naming】.

I kneaded the magical power in my body and rushed at once.

「WUT!?」

Though the blonde basta*rd(Mega-something) couldn’t hide his shock when he saw me closing in at once, I rushed at once with a grin plastered on my face.

Want to make the full use of the difference between our height eh? Fine by me, I only allowed that for the first attack.

But, it doesn’t mean that you’re the only one who could do that. I seized Megalos, not allowing him to get away from me.

「――This weakling!」

Megalos then tried to raise my body in the air like before with a rather disappointed face――

「Now we’re aligned.」

Yup, he raised me to the same height as his line of sight.

This guy was too easy to read.

I stretched the fingers of my right hand.

Knife hand. Using my entire arm like that of sword I――

Unleashed a strike at the side of Megalos’ head.

「――Tch.」

Megalos clicked his tongue in irritation as he raised his left arm to block my chop.

That very moment, I loaded all of my magical power into my right hand.

Focusing magical power in one point. If I could use this with my spear-sword, there was no way I couldn’t use this with my sword hand――!

My sword hand dug into Megalos’ left arm. Overpowered it, without losing the momentum as it broke the bone of his arm.

Just like that, I aimed my knife hand at Megalos’ horn and then――

CRUNCH

It hit his horn along with a resounded sound akin to glass breaking.

「Ah――」

Megalos got knocked out. The arm that seized me gradually lost its power as he crumbled down powerlessly on the floor.

And then, the broken piece of the left side of his horn was rolling right beside his head.

「Ah…」

「WAAH…」

「Eh…」

The spectators and Megalos’ buddies were at loss for words――

「… Ah………. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

A moment later, after a realization came to Megalos, he raised a scream while brandishing his arms wildly back and forth.

「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! MY—— MY HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!」

Megalos kept screaming non-stop.

――His magical power was clearly diminished compared to before. In short, the horn wasn’t a mere sense instrument.

「Hahaha, you look pretty good now! Almost as handsome as a goblin!」

I revealed a whole faced smile to Megalos who was rolling on the floor while shouting non-stop.

「Still, honestly it’s quite a shock.」

I spoke while spreading my arms, and didn’t forget to attract the attention of the peanut gallery.

「I never expected that your horn was so brittle that it broke with a light poke from my bare hand. It seems that you’re not only stupid, even your horn is weak! HAHAHAHAHA!」

When I declared so, the peanut gallery, regardless of their gender, backed away from me.

… Uhm? DId I just… Overdo it?

NOT THAT I CARE! GAHAHAHAHAHA!

『How refreshing!』

Said Ante with a satisfied voice. The same goes for me!!
