Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter



"HAA!" Arash came crashing down, thrusting his spear toward Okarino, who was below.

Okarino didn't move; he stared at Okarino's spear point, and the moment it was just a meter away from his face, he evaded to the side.

Bang!

Stones and pebbles shot everywhere, and a small pit appeared where Okarino was.

Okarino wanted to make a move now, but he saw Arash rushing toward, with no sign of exhaustion. 'He has been attacking me for quite a while, and he didn't catch his breath a single time. He seems….desperate or is too strong to feel it.'

Okarino wasn't sure what the reason was, but now wasn't the time to think about it. He thrust his rapier, which was glowing in blue at the approaching Arash. 

" [ Sea Serpents Chase ] " Several long serpents burst out of his rapier point and glided towards Arash. 

Arash came to a halt, but there was no sign of him trying to evade it. He let out a breath as hot steam came out and said. " [ Light Piercer ] "

He thrust his spear just as the water serpents were near him, blasting them into smithereens. However, that wasn't the end, as light beams galloped toward Okarino, taking him by surprise.

Okarino once again used his shielding skills to defend himself. " [ Blooming Lotus. ] "

Bam Bam Bam

Ripples appeared on Okarino's shield after the light beams hit. Okarino had a nonchalant face at first, but that changed when he saw his shield breaking apart, as the water dropped on the floor. 'Oh no.'

Thring!

The lotus shield burst open, spraying water everywhere. 

At that very moment, Okarino saw a blinding light flash before his eyes. Without thinking anything, he shifted his head to the right, dodging Arash's surprise attack. However, it still grazed past his cheeks, leaving behind a scar where blood oozed out uncontrollably.

Okarino gave a right-house kick with his left leg in that position. 

Bam

Okarino's kick landed on Arash's cheek, sending him stumbling backward. Finally having a chance, Okarino escaped far away and decided to heal his scar. But it didn't go within his expectations. 'What!? His light magic has the attribute to stop healing too!? Isn't he a bit too strong?'

Laughing to himself after finding out the truth, Okarino pointed his rapier at the upcoming Arash with the rapier's hilt roasted on his chest. " [ Unseen Urchin ] "

In a matter of seconds, Okarino thrust his rapier more than forty times. As a result, a sea of needle-like water spikes enveloped Arash's vision, making his heart pound. He could feel the danger from those sharp water needles, which were approaching him at a rapid speed.

Arash quickly pulled his sword back and thrust it with every ounce of his strength as an extremely bright glow of light could be seen on the spear that was increasing gradually. " [ Tear of Heaven ] !"

A silence descended upon the hall before a shattering noise came. From Arash's thrust, a thick beam of light shot out that evaporated the water needles. The beam didn't stop after that, as it had more things to destroy in its path. 

Fortunately, Okarino had a foreboding in his heart when Arash began to charge his spear and right arm. So, early on, he escaped from his thrust's path. 

Okarino felt a huge boulder was put down from his heart, as he watched the beam pass before him.

BANG!

The beam burst through the castle's walls as if they were nothing and continued on its path. 

A few seconds later, the beam subsided, leaving behind a path of destruction.

Then many heads poked out of the holes; no matter if they were friends or foes, all had dread and awe written on their faces.

  "Huh..Huh…" Arash took slow, deep breaths after using that skill. 'I exerted more energy than I had anticipated.'

Suddenly, his eyes widened. He quickly swung his spear to his left side, stopping Okarino's rapier from reaching him.

Ting

Then their weapons clashed once again, this time much more intensely than before. 

"ARGHHH!" Arash yelled, using his last ounce of strength to kill Okarino.

Unfortunately, Okarino had gone into defensive mode as he already sensed the depleting energy in his body. Additionally, his exhaustion and desperation also gave away his weakness, making Okarino sure that Arash would become hopeless when his energy ran out.

Okarino distanced himself and only blocked Arash's attack, not taking any kind of initiative to attack, even if Arash deliberately gave multiple openings.

A crazed look appeared in Arash's eyes, as he felt he would only die if he didn't finish this now. He had one minute to bring Okarino down, but that was shortened after using that high level skill.

Arash stopped in his tracks and held his spear with both hands, raising it above him. "Oh great heaven, your helpless child is begging for your blessing. I do not want anything but a curse, a curse with infinite strength to burn myself alive. Release [ Wild Charge of Raktar ] "

Specks of light flowed out of him and then enveloped his spear and body. 

Okarino sensed an overbearing dread and decided to go all out too. Pointing his rapier at Arash once again, he circled it in the air, making a water ring appear in thin air. If one looked carefully, they would see magic patterns on the water ring. " [ Cry of Sea Dracoon ] "

"KRRAA!"

A dragon head—made of water—emerged from the ring with deer antlers. With a loud cry, it shot toward Arash.

At that moment, Arash was done completing his skill. His eyes shot open as they glowed with a golden glow. Then, with a short kick to the floor, his body blasted toward Okarino. With his spear forward, he went through the air like an arrow shot by a divine being.

BAM!

The Sea Dracoon only managed to halt him for a second before it burst out and he sliced through it.

When Arash came before Okarino, he saw Okarino make a lotus shield right before his eyes. 

BANG!

Once again, Arash came to a halt, not being able to penetrate Okarino's shield. But he didn't give up, he poured every ounce of his strength into it, not even caring about emptying himself. "ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Okarino saw his lotus shield once again quack, announcing its shattering time. Okarino also didn't have the heart to give up, he had come all this way and now can't just die like that. Using his energy to heal and strengthen his lotus shield as much as possible, he shouted from the top of his lungs. "ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Only the screaming of two grown men rang throughout the castle. Arash's earlier move had brought everyone's attention, as this was the moment that would determine the fate of their battle. 

The City Guard Captain, full of injuries and blood all over her body,  limped her way out of the holes in the wall and witnessed the site before. She said it with sadness in her voice. "Your lord, please-"

She wasn't able to properly make her wish, as the deciding moment had come. 

Thrush!

The lotus shield broke, and Arash's spear charged forward, making contact with Okarino's body.

BANG!

Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred, blocking everyone's sight. However, it didn't take long before it subsided, letting everyone see the outcome. 

"No, this can't be."

"How can he?"

The city guards felt their souls leave their bodies from what they were seeing.

Meanwhile, the City Guard Captain was left stumped as she wasn't able to process the scene before her. Her lord, Arash, was now lying dead on the ground, with no signs of vitality coming from him. 

Okarino was standing before his dead body, heaving up and down heavily. His body was shaking, as he had never felt this close to being dead. 

The reason he was still alive was because of the blue crystal locket on the ground that was withering away. That was a special protection item that was rewarded by the prince. It can block the attack of anyone under Master Realm.

"Huh….huh...huh….huh….I was lucky, extremely lucky. There was no way I could have beat this monster." Okarino looked at Arash's dead body with dread and awe. After Arash's attack failed to do anything to him, his body became weak. Okarino took that chance and stabbed his chest quickly for more assurance.

"Die!!" Suddenly, Okarino heard a shout coming from his side, making his turn around. He saw it was the city guard captain, leaping down at him with a sword hanging over her head.

Without panicking, Okarino slashed his rapier at the city guard captain's stomach—at a much faster and more acute angle.

Thud

Her body flew away and landed on the ground. But she stood up again; despite blood flowing out of her stomach.

Okarino fully turned his body at her and said it with a smile. "Don't be so desperate. I will kill everyone in just a few seconds."

She stood with difficulty, clutching her stomach. With unwavering resolve in her eyes.

Okarino felt he should taunt people now to calm down his turbulent heart. "Ahhh… what a pitif-"

Puchi!
