Reincarnated as a World

Ch.39 Demon King Armaments

Before this Tribe had experienced the Magical Outburst the Tribe was led by the Ogre named Krysos. Krysos was a charismatic and intelligent Ogre that led his clan to reign supreme in the Central Forest and even the indomitable Asura and ferocious Babunda were fiercely loyal to him.

The other Tribes could only fend off this Ogre Tribe if they teamed up with each other because their power alone was insufficient and without forming alliances they would be decimated.

The reason for the Tribal Leader’s strength was not only because of special Physique, but all because of the unique gift that Eridel had given him. In fact, every Monster that was bestowed the Divine Demon Physique was also gifted with a unique item which would later on become to be known as a ‘Demon King’s Armament’.

Krysos was gifted with… A stone mountain.

Indeed it was a stone mountain but the size, weight and position could be freely adjusted by the user depending on their cultivation level. On top of that, the stone mountain emitted endless Earth Killing Essence that was beneficial to all Monsters with Earth Affinity. This Armament was called the [Heavenly Demon Mountain].

With the power of this Armament, Krysos along with the talented Asura and Babunda were able to mutate their Killing Essence into Earth Killing Essence. This was the same as someone forming their Mana from an element, for example: The High Human Queen’s Light Elemental Mana.

A Mutated Killing Essence would still be red in colour but it would have an extremely different feeling from the rest. Killing intent normally feels like feeling like someone was going to just kill you but Earth Killing Intent felt like someone wanted to crush you into pieces. On top of that there was an added gravity effect that prevented you from using full power.

Moreover, when using Earth Killing Essence in attacks like what those Goblins did, each attack would be especially heavy. You could also circulate around your body to have a mountain-like defence.

A Mutated Killing Essence was 5X stronger than the Elemental Mana’s counterpart but just as hard to obtain. Consequently, the other Ogre’s in the clan weren’t talented enough to absorb the Mutated Killing Essence and could only be like everyone else.

Or that should have been the case… 

However the Magical Outburst came around and just like with the Barbarian Chief, an unknown criteria was met and Krysos evolved into a High Ogre with perfect Earth Affinity. He reached 2.7 metres tall, gained grey skin akin to the Heavenly Demon Mountain, horns that looked like they were carved from a rock and silver eyes.

But Krysos was not the only one to evolve.

As Krysos loyal followers, his entire Tribe including Asura and Babunda evolved, becoming the Savage Earthen Ogre Tribe of today with all members wielding the Earth Killing Essence. This was definitely something terrifying and even otherworlders would think 3 times before fighting this Tribe that they had seen nothing alike before.

After all, Monsters were something that only existed in this World.

They were already horrifying and for some mutated existences like the Savage Earthen Ogre Tribe to exist as well? Wasn’t Eridel cheating too much?!

But that was not all.

If Krysos could meet the requirements to evolve... How can Asura and Babunda fail to do so?

Let’s rewind a bit.

A Greatsword

A Halberd

A Battleaxe

A Warhammer

These are 4 different red coloured weapons that radiated Killing Essence were placed in front of Asura.

The first ever weapons in the World and Asura was given the right to pick one. And not only that - These weapons were made from a special metal that was almost impossible to create and could never be formed naturally. It was Killing Metal.

Killing Metal was similar to Magic Metal in that it could absorb Killing Essence to cultivate itself. When this Metal was used to kill it would absorb some of the Killing Essence to empower itself meaning that this was a Weapon that could grow with the user. Obviously, the best users were Monsters but it wasn’t impossible for others to use it.

But for four of such weapons to be placed in front of one person… Even Immortals would become envious.

Eridel gifted Asura 4 weapons because he knew that these weapons were too heavy to be dual wielded so you could only choose 1 and discard the rest. Giving them to someone else wasn’t feasible either as it would be like someone other than Thor trying to pick up Mjolnir so the goal was that Asura chose one of the four weapons that he was most compatible with and when he accomplished that he would gain a permanent connection with it.

It would no longer be too heavy for him and he would gain martial art techniques specific to that weapon. The rest of the weapons would be destroyed.

‘Unfortunately’ Asura flipped the script.

Eridel was too used to dealing with the primitive minds of the residents of his World and forgot that as a Monster with the Divine Demon Physique, Asura’s intelligence was definitely not low.

SIKE!

Who was Eridel? He was a 2000 year old WORLD that had an unknown soul level. He was definitely up there with the top 10 smartest existences in the Universe. How could something that he GAVE the ogre escape his calculations?

That being the case, even though he knew that he had left a loophole, Eridel wanted to leave it up to fate. If Asura could grab this opportunity then so be it.

…

Asura studied each weapon carefully. He knew they were very powerful and if he could grasp the power of just one of them then his strength would be below the chiefs and above the rest. Even Babunda shouldn’t be able to match him.

Asura picked up the Sword and examined it closer. As he did so he could feel a familiar prompt that seemed to want to form a contract with him.

Asura exerted all his power into both hands to swing with an overhead strike.

CRAAAACK!

The ground exploded as a 2 metre long fissure was created when the Sword connected with the ground.

If Eridel was here to watch this - his Core would probably crack from anger.

After practicing with the Sword for a few minutes he let it drop heavily to the ground before collapsing himself with sweat drenching his body.

“Wheew~”

Asura looked at the surroundings that were even more destroyed than before and couldn’t help but marvel at his power even though the weapons were currently in a sealed state.

He didn’t know he was courting deletion
