Demon King Goku vs Grey
In front of me stood a white giant ape.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t assess it, but I understood from the feeling. It was right now on the same rank as me. An enemy that could kill me.
Goku should be Poisonous Liquor’s real name.
“Grrrrrr!!”
As it roared and looked down at me with bloodshot eyes, I noticed the corner of my mouth had curled upward naturally.
“Well, villain, you understand the rules of our world, don’t you?”
“Grrrrrr!!”
I wondered if he had lost even his ability to talk? It was likely that even what was supposed to be given to intelligence was entirely given to strength.
“Interesting.”
He tore off some of his body hair, twisted it up, and blew on it, turning it into a bright red club.
“Grrrrrrrrrrr!!”
Goku grasped the club in both hands and took a stance, then roared to the heavens.
“Good. That’s right. Let’s begin. Let us begin our soul-stirring fight for our wonderful life.”
As soon as I uttered these insane words, reason faded from my mind, and a fierce emotion came out in its place. It was a nostalgic yet repulsive feeling that I had long forgotten.
Demon King Goku and the monster Grey—the two beasts clashed quietly.
◇◆◇◆◇◆
I received Goku’s club with Mura. The atmosphere rippled greatly, the ruins of the mansion blew off in all directions and the moon floating in the night sky was watching our fight.
I turned my right palm toward him and continuously invoked [Hundreds Flaming Bullet].
Countless orange flame balls, which strength wasn’t a joke fired by me, became a one long strip and dashed towards Goku, but he blew them away by swinging his club.
“There’s no end to it,” I cursed while swinging Mura.
We had been repeating the same seesaw-like offense and defense since a while ago.
“Or maybe not
..” Goku spat out blood from his mouth.
It must be quite a burden to fight on equal terms with me, who was dubbed as the true [Evil Destroyer and Preacher].
Looking at his condition, I was probably going to win just by stalling for time. But it would take quite a while. I could feel that much spirit from Goku. That would overwhelmingly increase my fatigue. And if the coward who was peeking at the battle attacked me, I would most likely suffer a loss.
And more than anything—
“That would be boring, wouldn’t it?”
Goku was an irredeemable villain. However, only this fighting spirit made me purely thrilled. This was also my final tribute to him.
I have become so naive.
I looked up at Goku as I mocked myself.
“Hey Goku, let’s finish it already.”
I felt like I could use [Liberation] properly if I was in this condition. This was the time. I was going to do an experiment. I could even keep that scumbag peeping bastard in check. After all, that peeping bastard was a morbid coward. If it succeeded, it would most likely make him hesitate to attack.
The key was to repeat the technique I’d done to die in the past. Relax your mind, concentrate your magic power in the tanden area in a circular motion.
That’s it.
Like the power furnace of an engine, the red magic power poured into my tanden formed a whirlpool around me and went round and round.
The rest was only to provide fuel. I activated [Liberation] and poured an explosive amount of mana to the engine.
The spherical space expanded in concentric circles from me.
“Gugaaaaaaa!!” Goku screamed and blasted towards me, then swinging down his club at my skull.
“[Corrosion Outburst].”
At the same time, mysterious reality-altering words came out of my mouth.
“Guru!?”
The club, which Goku was swinging down with all his might with both arms, vanished entirely, spotlessly.
At the same time, several small black spheres formed around us. They gradually increased their radius and corroded the surroundings.
After confirming that violence of darkness was eating away everything, not only Goku but also the building and its basement, I supported my body with Mura by stabbing the ground and letting go of my consciousness.
◇◆◇◆◇◆
A man wearing a malignant mask, covered from head to toe with a hood like a shell, Astrea, wss staring at the projected spectacle in front of him.
All the color of nonchalance and the expression of enjoyment Astrea had had just a while ago disappeared instantly.
“Is this, that man’s technique? No, that man is dead. That man has assured me. There is no doubt about it. If that’s the case, does that mean he has the same ability as that man?”
He asked himself, but the next thing that could come out of his mouth were, “That’s ridiculous. How can there be two such absurd abilities in the world?”
It was a dry mockery of his impossible view.
Currently, that blond boy was standing upright and immobile, with his sword still propped up on the floor.
He had used that much power. Probably, he fainted or something. If it was now, I should be able to slaughter him without any hardship.
—But, what if that appearance is a trap?
As soon as that thought flashed in his mind, Astrea stopped moving as if his legs were petrified. Looking at his quivering legs, he clicked his tongue.
“No, I think we’ll just have to wait and see this time. We don’t have much power yet, and we can eliminate them at any time.”
So, as if to persuade himself, he sounded out the words to dismiss his thoughts.
“


.”
Astrea, with intense humiliation, anger, and unquenchable anxiety and fear plastered all over her face, let his figure melt into the dark night.

?????
Poisonous Liquor, or to say Goku, looked around when he got his consciousness back.
It was natural. Because it was a corridor with red tiles on all sides.
“Yo–you finally come, Poisonous Liquor.”
A young man with purple hair and bad eyesight raised his right hand.
“Munch, if you’re here, does this mean it’s the realm of death?” Goku said, sounding bored.
“Yeah, after what we’ve done, we’re probably on a wagon to hell.”
“Don’t be so cocky, brat! Do you think I would be at the same place as you small fry!!!?”
Munch’s eyes widened in surprise at Goku’s outburst.
“You have changed right? No, or is this your true character?”
He looked at him keenly.
“Nonsense. Why don’t you just hurry up and send me to hell or wherever!”
As Goku shrugged his shoulders, he threw a glance to a white lump that was looking at the exchange between him and Munch in amusement.
“Oh? Even though you were so scared of him, you’re calm now. I’m not scary?”
“Foolish question!”
Goku’s whole body was trembling slightly as he shouted strongly. It was impossible not to be afraid. But still, Goku had a strong will in his eyes.
“Hmm, not so long ago you were humanly timid, cowardly, cunning, and irredeemably stupid. He was the reason for that change, wasn’t he?”
“Who knows.”
“The reason for the change, I hope you can tell definitely.”
“I don’t like useless chit-chat,” Goku folded his arms and stubbornly refused to speak.
“That’s right. He is really mysterious, isn’t he? In just a short time of fighting, he has changed an irredeemable villain like you a lot. Hey, won’t you tell me?” the white lump asked, giving Munch something like a look.
“Isn’t it because we remember something?”
“Remember?”
“Oh, the long-forgotten treasure we little people have here. Well, I realized it too late,” Munch put his thumb on his chest and muttered sadly.
“A treasure? Certainly, it’s something we don’t have.”
Munch nodded multiple times.
The white lump turned around and said, “You two have violated a serious rule set by the world. Therefore—”
He tried to express their victory.
“You don’t need to say. But, that brat here was too stupid to notice what he was getting into and caught up in the turmoil. I’m the villain. I will not hand this to anyone, ever!”
“What are you saying? You—”
“Brat, be silent for a while! I’m talking to this whitey here!”
“Haha! Hahahahaha! You are calling me ‘whitey’? Alright. But are you fine with it? The sins two people share are too heavy, you know? Because possessing the demon king seed is the world’s greatest taboo.”
“I don’t mind. That’s how I lived until now with that determination!”
The white lump made finger snapping like sound, and many chains wrapped around Goku’s body, restraining him.
“Have a nice trip.”
“Of course. I’ll show the demons of hell what I can do with a stick!”
As Goku laughed imposingly, he was sucked inside the black color floor.
“Me too—”
“I’m sorry, but it seems that the opportunity for your crime involves an outside element from this world, so I’m going to hold off.”
The white lump once again snapped his finger and this time, Munch’s body dissipated into fine particles.
“Well, Grey, the next is the imperial capital, right? I’m sure that even the most unscrupulous of them will be desperate to take action after realizing how vicious you are. It’s going to be a very difficult game. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of play you are going to show me.”
The white lump burst into laughter.
