Chapter 814: Taunts
“Yo, Demon King, you’re looking like you had no sleep yesterday night my brother, did you wet yourself thinking about fighting me?” Leo began, taunting the demon king, as he chuckled under his mask.
“Ha…hahaha, good one master, the Demon King does have bags under his eyes” Dumpy added, as Leo turned toward his pet and gave him a thumbs up.
The duo talked casually in the presence of the Demon King and Black Dragon, as if they were not affected by their presence at all, while the rest of the human crowd felt stunned to hear Leo’s remarks.
“Is he mad? Why is he talking to the Demon King in English? The Demon race doesn’t even speak English language–”
“Did he really call the Demon King ‘My Brother?’, is ‘TheBoss’ from the hood or something?”
“Hahaha! Get in there Boss! Get under your opponent’s skin!”
The human crowd, that had fallen silent upon his entry, began chuckling and roaring in approval after his opening comments, as slowly but surely the atmosphere behind Leo turned rowdy.
It started slow, as at first discussions only arose amongst spectators, however, soon it evolved into a full blown chant, as a synchronized scream of
“BOSS! BOSS! BOSS!”Ran through the arena.
“The human is taunting you before the fight Drogo, do you wish for me to translate his words? Do you want to communicate?” Drogo asked Anos telepathically, as Anos nodded in reply.
“Might as well,” He said in Demon Tongue, as Drogo expanded his translation magic, to cover both Leo and Anos.
“Greetings, Human Emperor, We meet again. I see you have taken my advice to heart and have begun your journey towards becoming a true king. However, I’m sad to see that you’re not quite there yet” Anos said in Demon Tongue, with Leo being the only person in the arena who was able to understand it.
“Is that so? You really think I’m not quite there yet? Brother, look around?” Leo replied, his smirk widening, as he widened his arms and signalled for the crowd to cheer him on louder.
*Cheers*
Upon his signal, the human crowd exploded into cheers, as Anos chuckled loudly at his antics.
“Yes you’re not quite there yet. The people behind you, they respect you, they fear you, but they don’t revere you.
You are their Emperor, but you are not their God yet and although they obey, it’s not blind obedience.
You can gaud them into cheering for you, but you command them to give their lives for you and they won’t. But if I do the same to my underlings they won’t take another breath.
As of now, you have a long way till you become a True leader, but unfortunately for you, your time to improve has run out.
By challenging me, you have bit off more than you can chew and that’s a mistake that individuals like us can never afford to make.
I’m sure you have left behind a worthy legend, but today is the day it comes to an end–” Anos said, as his calm and logical words made Leo frown.
Leo was here to fight, to brawl, and not for lectures that sounded like they came from an elder brother.
“Oh spare me the lecture—
You know nothing about me, old man. I’m nothing like you.
‘Fake It Till You Make It’ only works till you make it, and after that you have to take risks.
It’s funny you say that I can’t afford to fight you, because that’s rich coming from someone that doesn’t even know what comes at the end of the act.
Unlike you, I have made it. I am the strongest human and there’s no one left in these parts who can hold a candle to my strength.
You are the only opponent that can excite me on this continent and today I’m gonna conquer you as well.
Not because I’m stronger than you, or smarter than you, or more handsome than you, or younger than you.
I’m gonna beat you today, just because I’m more of a man than you.
I have the balls to push past my limits and challenge opponents to fights that I know I can’t win.
Which is more than you will ever have” Leo said, as he replied to the demon king’s logic with childish tantrums.
“What a manchild. If this is what you think, then you and I are indeed nothing alike.
This conversation was fun while it lasted, but I think we are done here, time for the fight to begin—” The Demon King said, as with a slight tap of his foot, he jumped high and effortlessly landed on top of Drogo’s back.
“Justt Bring It—” Leo said, pulling out a dagger as he assumed his fighting stance.
Over their heads, a cloud momentarily passed over the sun, dimming the intensity of the sunlight slightly, before quickly passing on, as the full intensity of the light returned.
And just as it did, the fight began.
[Dragon’s Breath]
Right- Off the bat, Drogo began the fight with a full powered dragon’s breath, aimed at both Leo and Dumpy at once.
The attack was so enormous and so powerful, that the ground beneath its path melted and deformed as the attack propagated forward, while the temperature of the surroundings unbearably went up by a few degrees.
*CHEERS*
The entire Demon Faction erupted in a burst of mad cheers, looking at the attack move forward, only for the humans to respond in kind when Dumpy unsheathed his sword and leapt in front of Leo to block the move.
The giant frog, without so much as breaking a sweat, simply blocked the move through his raw power, as he maintained eye-contact with the black dragon throughout.
“Today I shall kill you with my own hands, you overgrown black lizard” Dumpy declared, as just like his master, he trash talked his opponent as well.
*Snort*
“You’re not yet on my level, Child” The black dragon responded, as with a quick flick of its wings, it took to the skies, changing the orientation of the battle.
