I was confronted by the Dark Demon King.

The Dark Demon Emperor, none of my attacks or defenses worked. After all, the Dark Knights' kings seem to be of a different character.

But I can't lose, either. We must win for the fallen Captain Zagil.

"... your moves don't work for me?

"... what?

After I distanced myself, the Dark Demon King said such a thing.

Sure, my moves don't work for the Dark Demon Great. But it is out-of-heart to be judged solely by the earlier offense.

I still have a lot of moves left. It doesn't feel good to be told that even though I've only used two yet, it's like everything doesn't work.

"I still have a lot of moves. I don't want you to judge me by the two things I've just said."

"... not"

"Huh?"

To my words, the Dark Demon King has shook his head to the side.

I don't know, but my perception seems wrong. What the hell is the Dark Demon King trying to say?

"I know your skills. I was fighting and I remembered. The moves you've used are very similar to the moves my acquaintance once used."

"... what?

I am surprised by the words of the Dark Demon King.

My moves are those I learned from my masters. Knowing the moves means that the Dark Demon Great knows the masters.

But the masters are not residents of this world. The Dark Demon Emperor can't possibly know the moves of such people.

"Agitus, Gorsol, Shagd... the names of those who were shouldering with this Dark Demon King"

"Become..."

"All your moves are a little less skillful than their skills..."

But in that word, I understood.

The Dark Lord really knows his masters.

The three names haven't told anyone since they came to this world. Knowing that would be because the Dark Demon Great is telling the truth.

But how does the Dark Demon Great know the masters? Maybe the Dark Demon King came from that world, just like me, to this one. No, I can also think of the possibility that dark forces have the power to cross dimensions.

As much as I think about it, I don't know. Who the hell is the Dark Demon Great?

"No..."

So, I switch my mind.

What matters now is the fact that the Dark Demon King knows my moves.

In other words, the Dark Demon Emperor is ready to deal with my moves. That's pretty hopeless news.

They know what's in their hands. Such situations are overwhelmingly unfavourable.

"Do you understand that you will never win? I know the root of your moves. Naturally, I also know what to do with that power. In this situation, do you have a shot at winning?

"Ku......!

"Oh dear! Dark Demon Great player, slowly approaching Slade!

The Dark Demon King is approaching me thinking about it.

It's very bad to be approached right now. Because in earlier words, thoughts have not come together well.

If they keep approaching me like this, I might not be able to do anything. That kind of thought drove me to my head.

"Slade!"

"Huh?"

What came into my ear like that was a clear voice.

From behind me, I heard that voice. That's the voice of Faraes.

"Faraes......"

"So much so that I've been cut off from the moves I've learned from my masters, what are you scared of! You have something else! Something I've learned in this world!

"... what you've learned in this world?

"That's right! The Dark Demon Great knows his former master's moves. But they don't know everything about you right now! Since you came to this world, you've become stronger! Its strength would be something that the Dark Demon Great doesn't even know about!

"... right!

In Faraese's words, my consciousness awakened.

What the hell was I scared of?

The masters' moves are cut off. But that wasn't all I had. I wonder if all the power I've learned in this world is in me.

"Whatever you say, it's no use. I can't win!

"Oops! Dark Demon Great, a blow!

"Ha!"

I defend the Dark Demon King's attack with a knife.

Now, it's not a diversion. Learned in this world, another way to defend.

"Ugh..."

"Oh dear! Slade, I defended him! That defense is in the same position as the defense that Selik once used!

What I used was the structure of the Selik I once fought for.

Unlike Selik, it can't even be an absolute defense, but now we have a defense.

The Dark Demon Emperor is also surprised that I made a move that I have no idea. This would mean that you made a good impression.

"Ha!

"Ugh!

"Oops! Slade, you have retreated the Dark Demon Great!

I wave my sword as it is, retreating the Dark Demon King.

Take a step further, go for the Dark Demon King, and roll out your next move.

"The sword!"

"Ugh!

"Slade's blade will tear the Dark Demon Great apart! Apparently, we couldn't defend ourselves!

The next thing I used was Mr. Gogassa's sword.

This move is said to be undefendable. To the Dark Demon Emperor, that was no exception, he was able to push through the defense and slash his body.

That blow slowly disfigures the Dark Demon Great. Looks like the attack caused a lot of damage.

"Knock..."

"Oops! Dark Demon Great, I'm on my knees! Just in case, let me do the tencount! One! Two!

The Dark Demon King has fallen on his knees, so I will distance myself from it.

It's the knight's rule not to chase down the target.

"Three! Four!

"Ha, ha..."

In the meantime, the count goes on.

More than I thought, the Dark Demon Great will not rise.

Sure, I made a blow, but it shouldn't have gotten so deep in the blade. And yet, I don't stand up. This is to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Right..."

"Five! Six!

So, I get it. The Dark Demon King said he was exhausted in his battle with Captain Zagil.

Though he said fine with his mouth, there's no way he's not exhausted in that fight.

That fatigue has worked here. This is quite gratifying. You'll have to thank Captain Zagil.

……

……

"Seven! Eight!

There was one more person to thank.

It is Faraes. Without her voice, I could have been slashed like that.

So I'll signal Faraes with my eyes. Then Faraes nodded at me.

Behind me, there's the goddess of victory. This, too, would be comforting.

"Ugh!

"Oh dear! Dark Demon Great, you're up!

Within doing that, the Dark Demon Great was standing up.

After all, he's not nice enough to fall over with that.

"It was a blow inside. But it's not like it was earlier."

"Oh, I guess so..."

The risen Dark Demon King will say that to me.

I have to recognize that's a word that's not false.

Earlier, we were able to successfully attack where we were alarmed. But you won't be alarmed anymore. Because they also understand that I'm not the only one with the master's moves.

For that reason, we will have to fight again with new hands. But I'm not as pessimistic as I was earlier. I can always defeat the Dark Demon King. That's what I think now.
