Chapter 34: New Demon Lord
\~five years before\~
"Cheer cheer!"
The entire colosseum filled with applause and cheers as finally after many years of innumerable
defeats, a new demon lord has been declared.
The thousands of Demons filling the colosseum with noise, fell silent once the Demon King, Val, arose
from his seat.
He looked down at the two demons, the now lowest ranking demon lord and the used to be demon lord
passed out on the ground.
A slight smirk of interest and satisfaction came upon the king's face as he stared down the demon
standing in the arena.
"What is...?"
Before the demon king could finish his question the new demon lord pointed at his next competitor.
Not even acknowledging the king he pointed, starring down the second-lowest ranked demon lord.
"I challenge Demon Lord Casio, to his place in the ranks!"
The king turned towards Casio, sitting in one of the farthest seats from the king.
The demon lord got up chair walked to the edge of the viewing balcony and jumped off.
He landing firmly onto the sandy ground of the battle area.
The middle-aged demon lord with a smug, boorish face, starred down the teen Demon lord.
The king still standing, waiting for the two to get in their ready for battle stances.
He peered down at the small figures below and announced his approval.
"Begin!"
Once he heard those words uttered by the king he dashed forward.
Before demon lord Casio could even strike, a hand was already sticking his neck.
He fell to the ground with a thump, unconscious.
With ease, the newly announced demon Lord defeated yet another foe.
Yet again this new demon lord pointed at the next in line demon lord.
Not even acknowledging the king's words.
-
One after another after another this youth performed an impossible feat, defeating all the demon lords.
Finally, the only person he could challenge at this point was the king, but once the king spoke, this new
demon lord didn't point his finger or event interrupt.
He waited till the king finished his question, standing back straight, proudly in the middle of the arena.
"What is your name?!"
The new demon lord starred at the king.
"My name is Leon Detrim Vanity.!"
The king muttered to himself for a moment.
"Huh, Vanity."
He then put on a face and spoke loudly. to everyone in the colosseum. "Welcome the newly integrated
Demon Lord, Leon Vanity.!"
He looked down that Leon, and spoke directly to him. "Demon Lord Leon, as a Demon Lord you'll
receive a territory, you know this, with it, comes responsibility. Are you capable of handling this
responsibility and helping our nations prosper!"
Leon nodded.
The King gestured to Leon with his hand to come up with the viewing balcony.
The crowds continued to cheer and scream in delight.
Leon jumped up the balcony, though it was more like a leap.
He now stood in front of the now along King.
The other Demon Lords were still recovering or unconscious, so they weren't present.
Leon knelt down showing his respect to the King.
"Vanity, that was the name of a demon lord, one of my best allies, that was killed a couple of years ago.
Are you perhaps related to him?"
"Yes, your highness he was my father, though we weren't very close. I actually only met him once or
twice."
"Oh.. well he was a good demon lord, he knew how to handle certain, how you say scuffles for me. I
hope you can live up to my expectations as he did, you have already proven your skill today."
"Thank you, your highness, I hope for the same."
"We'll discuss your territory selection after the events conclude for today."
"Yes, your highness."
