How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!



Leviathan had to admit that Pyra was strong! He didn't know her and he had no idea why she decided to attack him specifically, but he knew that she was strong enough to rival an SS-class at least! She was shrugging off attacks that would have taken down most of the Grand Commanders by now!

But that was not enough to take him down! Leviathan dodged under her mace when she tried to swing at him and he grabbed the hilt of her mace and sent a shoulder tackle into her chest to try and get her weapon away from her, but Leviathan was shocked when Pyra held on tight to the weapon and dragged it with her as she was pushed back and he was forced to let go of the weapon. She would have dislocated her arm if he held on a bit tighter to that weapon. Is this how desperate she is to win?

As Pyra stood and looked towards him again, Leviathan finally spoke to her.

"I have no idea why you attacked me, but I believe we might have started off on the wrong foot. My name is Levi, what is yours?"

It was customary to always give your name to your opponent when you are in a life-or-death battle. That way, your name would not be forgotten even if you die. But Pyra didn't give him an answer, instead, she activated a skill!

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ [Force Of Gravity] has been activated!

This time, when Pyra swung her mace, there was a large sonic boom that echoed from the back of the mace!

Boom!

Leviathan could only dodge at the last minute when he felt the amount of force that Pyra's mace now had! Did she want to knock his teeth out!? That thing would have definitely broken a few bones if I didn't dodge her!!

The skill that Pyra used was a gravity spell that could reduce or increase the weight of any object she was touching by ten times whenever she wished!

Pyra was not very good at using magic since she was mainly focused on physical strength. The only magic skills that she had were basic communication spells, some body enhancement skills, and some other A-class skills that anyone could get. But this Gravity skill was an SS-class skill that Pyra had to train for a long time before she could use it well. It was very difficult for her to train the skill to this point and even now, Pyra could only increase or decrease the weight of objects by ten times their original weight.

If this skill was in the hands of someone who knew how to use magic properly, they would be able to increase and decrease the weight of an object by at least fifty times already! But even though Pyra could only do this much, she was already so strong that it is very dangerous for anyone facing her to be hit by that much weight!

Boom!!

Pyra charged towards Leviathan again and the man dodged the mace for the second time! He could tell that Pyra was reducing the weight of the mace as she swings it and she would increase the weight of the mace the moment it was very close to him so that it would have the maximum amount of damage. That is why the mace was moving so fast! He couldn't allow that to hit him!

Levi dodged another swing from the mace and this time he didn't just stop after dodging the mace. He rose his sword up and sent a slash at Pyra's back and Pyra was forced to bring the mace into the path of the sword to block it! She held her breath and brought her mace down on Leviathan and Leviathan felt his feet dig into the ground as the force slammed into him! Once Pyra released the force a little, he dashed to the side and sent a return slash at Pyra!

The slash sent her skidding back and Levi took advantage of her momentary distraction and ran forward before sending another slash toward her neck!

Slash!

Squelch!

Levi's eyes opened wide as he saw Pyra using her hand to try and stop his sword! Was this girl mad? What sort of desperation will allow you to go to this extent just to win a fight? Pyra didn't have enough time to dodge the slash from Levi and she just applied [Greater Hardening] to her hand and used that to protect her neck! It was better to gain an injury on the hand than on the neck!

Levi immediately kicked her in the midsection and sent her flying back until her back slammed into the wall on the other side of the clearing!

Stab!

Levi slammed his sword down and started to tie his hair behind him while speaking.

"I can sense that you're desperate to win this fight. It's almost like your entire life depends on it. I don't know who you're trying to impress with your bravado, but you will definitely regret appearing in front of me like this. You see, I'm not a hostile person by nature. I don't like to fight anymore and the thrill of battle is nothing to me. But don't you know that there are some things you just don't do? You don't walk into a monster's den, destroy its home, and then expect to leave with your life."

Levi didn't care for fighting anymore. He was someone that has seen enough of fighting in his life and he was already tired of it all. But this girl dared to destroy his home. Does she know how many years it took him to build that house? Does she know how long it took him to get this sort of secluded area to live in?

Levi could tell that Pyra was at a disadvantage in this fight. She was only an SS-class from what he could feel and he was already an SSS-class. Even if she tries her hardest, the best she will be able to do is injure him a bit. Killing him is impossible unless he let his guard down like a fool. And Levi was no fool.

"Shut up,"

Pyra didn't even try to talk to Levi.

Boom!

Pyra slammed her mace into the ground as she rose herself up to her feet and she looked at Levi with the same intensity that he was using to stare at her. Pyra was not an expressive person, but this time she had a scowl on her face that would have made anyone flinch in fear!

Levi grabbed the hilt of his sword again and drew it! And then the both of them shot forward!

Woosh!!

Ka-Boommmmm!!!

Boom!

They started to exchange blows at the center of the clearing and the entire region was shaking from the amount of force that they were using to attack each other!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Pyra used her mace to slam Levi into wh ground but Levi dodged to the left and tried to slice her from behind! Pyra immediately jumped closer to him to prevent him from getting a good shot and she sent a nasty headbutt right into his nose!

Slam!!

Levi grunted in pain, but at the next moment, he grinned and slammed his foot into the ground before sending his own headbutt straight into Pyra's forehead!

Boom!

Pyra was sent stumbling back from the hit and she had to bring up her mace to prevent the slash that Levi followed up with. Levi grinned and Pyra could see the blood that covered his teeth from the headbutt that she gave him. Pyra didn't know how her own face looked right now, but she was sure she looked just as bad as he did!

[SSS-Class Water Arts: Tsunami has been activated]

Pyra's entire body started to tingle as her instincts warned her to dodge immediately! She pushed Levi back with all the force she could gather and she jumped back as far away as possible as he activated a skill, but she was still not able to move far enough before a jet of water flew out from a magic circle at Levi's side and slammed into her with full force!

She was sent flying across the clearing and she immediately got to her feet once she stopped and charged in again! Levi was shocked that she shrugged off the skill so easily! That jet was strong enough to take down twenty giants at once!

Pyra got to Levi before even a second and she immediately sent a massive swing towards his body!

"Rarrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!"

Ka-Boommmmm!!!!!

Her mace slammed into his sword with thousands of tons of force and Levi grunted as he noticed that she had increased the weight again! This time he could feel his arms cracking from how much force he needed to use to block the mace! Is this girl really only an SS-class? Don't tell me that the difference between a demon and a human is so great that an SS-class demon is this strong! I'm an SSS-class y'know! This shouldn't even be a fight at all!

No, Levi had fought against SS-class demons before and none of them are this strong! It is obvious that Pyra was different. Maybe she was already on the edge of ascending into the SSS class? Levi thought this with a sigh. He knew that Pyra was going to be a pain in the ass!

"Rarrrggggghhhhhh!!!"

Pyra released another shout and she sent another body shot towards Levi and Levi immediately dodged it! He couldn't block another hit like that and hope to keep his arms! She would probably break me in half if I take that hit. Levi moved around to Pyra's blind side and activated another skill immediately!

[SS-class Water Arts: Infinite jets]

Levi immediately took a deep breath before stabbing his sword toward Pyra's body! Pyra ducked and rolled to one side to avoid it, but she grunted as a wound still appeared on her shoulder! What the hell?

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Pyra could not do anything as Levi sent many more stabs toward her body! No matter how much she tried to dodge them, the attack would still hit her and she would gain a deep injury where the attack hit! The only thing she could do was block her face and body with her mace to avoid any major damage!
