Watch Out For Shock Waves
「The Demon King has dug a hole and escaped!」
Master's voice echoed through the seal room.
The seal had already been broken, or perhaps the Demon King had dug a hole in the wall and escaped.
I thought he was going after Noir-san, but I wonder if the Demon King is not interested in revenge this time.
「Hu... Hurry up, if we don't go after him quickly the Demon King will escaped」
「Ambush him on the ground and have Ash hit him when he comes out!」
「It may be unfair, but it's the only way to be sure. Let's head back down the passage now.」
「Come on, let's go, Ash!」
I pointed at the ceiling.
「I'm gonna crash through the ceiling.」
「I knew you'd say that.」
Noir-san said calmly, and the masters looked at each other.
「It's more than a 100 meters to the ground, but...... I'm sure Ash can get through it with a headbutt.」
「But if we try to copy him, we'll just end up with bumps!」
「We'll go out the passageway like normal!」
I made sure that the masters and Noir-san ran away from the hollow, and I jumped.
Zubobon!!!!
I pierced the dirt in a straight line and walked out, about 15 meters beyond me the dirt rising up.
A large tiger emerged from the earth.
「Are you...... the Demon King?」
I ask the tiger with my eyes wide open, as it might disappear in the blink of an eye.
「Hoo! You know who I am! Indeed, I am the 《Western Emperor》, the world's fatstest! You're in the company of that abominable little girl, aren't you?」
The abominable little girl are referring to Noir-san.
I thought he was trying to escape by digging a hole, but maybe the Demon King was planning to fight above ground?
Well, it's true that in that hollow space, he can't take advantage of his speed.
「She is our comrade.」
「Fuhahahaha! Is that so, a comrade! Well then, if I tear you to pieces, I'm sure that little girl will be in despair! And after I've torn you to pieces, I'll slowly and deliberately torment that little girl! I'm going to make her suffer the same 2,000 years of pain that I've suffered!!」
The Demon King snaps his fangs with a clatter.
「You'll be the first to be torn to pieces! But it won't be fun if I just tear you to pieces. I love to hunt, you know. I love the look on your face when I catch up with you and chew you up! Now, if you don't want to die, run for your lives! It's time to hunt!!!!」
「Ash! Are you fine!!」
Master's voice came down.
When I looked up, I saw that the masters were floating in the sky.
It must be one of Principal Phillip magic.
「Ash! You must defeat the Demon King! After defeating the world's hardest Demon King, defeating him should be a piece of cake!」
The Demon King, who was looking up at the sky, gazed at me.
「Hou. Did you bury the 《Northern Emperor》?」
(T/N: Raw: 葬った, Homutta? I think he meant it as "defeat")
「That's right! Moreover, Ash has already defeated the 《Southern Emperor》! Now it's your turn!」
「Fuhahaha! If you think I'm in the same league as other Demon Kings, then I must say that you're a fool! I am the world's fatstest...... no one can touch me! Having defeated the 《Northern Emperor》, you must be confident in your attack power, but you are powerless in the face of the world's fastest!!」
「You can't call yourself the world's fastest until you've had a speed contest with me!」
「Speed contest!? What are you talking about? He's the world's fastest! It doesn't matter how fast Ash is, it's not worth competing with him!」
I look up at my master.
「That's why I want to do a speed contest. If I don't, I'll never be a wizard.」
I trained myself to death, and as a result, I became the strongest martial artist in the world.
I became strong enough to defeat the Demon King with a single blow.
But what I wanted to be was a wizard.
Since I couldn't find any clues to acquire magic power, I had to train my spirit to obtain magic power.
But this guy will probably die in one punch.
The world's hardest Demon King was that fragile, this thing could shatter with just a touch.
Defeating such a demon king with one punch will not strengthen my spirit.
But...... what if it's a speed contest?
If I were to compete in speed with the world's fastest, I might lose, as my master said.
In other words, I can grow spiritually by taking on unfavorable odds.
「He might disappear in the middle of a speed contest! Don't just sit back and let Ash talk you out of it!」
「I believe in Ash.」
Principal Philippe nodded at Noir-san's words.
「Noir-kun are right. There's nothing impossible for Ash-kun, who I know.」
「We... Well. The Ash-kun I know can do anything except use magic. I'm sure he can even beat the Demon King with his speed.」
Master clapped his cheeks as he listened to the words of Principal Philip and Colon-san.
「That's right. Why is it that I can't always trust my students at the critical moment...... I'm the one who knows how great Ash is......」
Master looked down at me with a serious look in his eyes.
「The 《Western Emperor》 may have been the world's fastest! But that was a long time ago! Now...... Ash! Let's show the Demon King just how fast a current youngster can run!!」
「I got it!」
I nodded vigorously and looked at the Demon King.
「Come on, let's compete, Demon King!」
「Fuhahahaha! You are the first foolish human to challenge me to a speed contest! Fine! I've been sealed up for 2,000 years, and my body has just gone rusty! Just the right amount of prep exercise for tearing the entire humanity into pieces!」
The Demon King looks at my feet.
「Human! Throw that stone into the air! The moment it hits the ground, it's time for a speed contest!」
I picked up a stone the size of my fist and pointed to a tree about 500 meters away.
「The goal...... will that tree be fine?」
「Fine! I'll settle this in an instant!」
The Demon King shouts confidently and moves next to me.
「You'd better get away from me. The shockwave could kill you.」
「That's impossible! Because I am the fastest man alive! I'll be at the finish line before you can even take a step!!」
The Demon King doesn't listen.
I'll have to start carefully so I don't create a shockwave.
I threw a rock and took a crouch start.
「Kukukuu Foolish human, you should be honored! You're about to see the world's fastest running! However, a human like you wouldn't be able to see me moving! But that doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on you! Because the world's fastest must always be the fastest! Fuhahahaha! You will understand soon enough! The world's fastest speed! The world's fastest and scariest! You were foolish enough to challenge the world's fastest! In this world, there are being you must never make enemies of......」
Paaaaaaan!!!!
I heard a great noise next to me.
I turned around and saw that the Demon King was dead.
The stone must have fallen like a meteorite and pierced the Demon King's head.
I thought he was talking too long, but it seems I threw it...... a little too high.
「That's surprised me.」
I agreed wholeheartedly with Noir-san's words.
