The Reincarnations of Veldanava

Night of the Dragons

Even among Demon Lords, none of them was as infamous as Guy. The Primordial Red, who existed since the dawn of creation, was a man whose name instigated both terror and respect.

The oldest and strongest of all Demon Lords, Guy Crimson was a force of nature not so different from those true dragons.

But it was lonely at the top. It had been a while since he had a good fight.

Velzard, his partner, had lost interest in fighting with him a long time ago. Rudra also didn't fight with him anymore. A ritualistic fight with Feldway in the last Grieving Banquet was enjoyable, but that man was too talkative for Guy's liking.

The last tense fight Guy had was with Milim when she went on a rampage. They fought for 7 days straight and it was a blast. It wasn't difficult to see that Guy stayed true to his demonic nature and loved good fights.

Seeing how Rimuru easily subdued Milim's rage, Guy couldn't help but wanted to feel it himself, to experience a fight with an anomaly like Rimuru.

"I have nothing personal against you. I hope you understand that."

Rimuru smiled then said, "Don't worry about it, Demon Lord Guy."

Rimuru knew who Guy was and how he operated. Daemons were always like this. They liked to fight, that was what they spent most of their time doing in the Underworld.

Asking for a fight with someone they took interest in seemed to be a norm in their society. Maybe that was why Diablo and Testarossa always fought each other when they had free time.

"Haha," the red-haired man chuckled. "You're being unreasonably formal. Just call me Guy. We are equal after all, as Demon Lords."

"As you wish, Guy."

In a blink of an eye, their swords clashed with an immeasurable speed. The air around them vibrated and trembled. The power displayed by both of them was worthy of being called god-like.

"Hey? How about we do something fun while they are at each other's throat?" Dino said. It was rare to see him not sleeping like he usually did. "I bet my money on Guy. He'll win, for sure."

"Aren't you homeless and unemployed, Dino-chan?" Ramiris pointed out.

The accused Dino slapped his hand on the chair's armrest. "I am not homeless, I already live in Dagruel's land!" He didn't even attempt to clear his name on the unemployed part.

Dino saw this as an opportunity to make a quick buck, and he instigated the gambling on who would win between Guy and Rimuru. Other Demon Lords also joined in, just for fun.

Those who gambled on Guy's victory were Dino, Leon and Dagruel.

While Ramiris, Roy and Frey voted for Rimuru.

"Seriously, Ramiris?" Dino was astonished by her decision. She should know better than anyone just how much power Guy possessed, yet she instead chose Rimuru.

Ramiris did not hesitate. Guy might be strong, but Rimuru was also promising. "Believe me, Dino-chan. You haven't seen everything that man can do yet!"

Rimuru was an anomaly, a man who evolved as a true demon lord and true hero. If anyone had a chance to best Guy, that would be Rimuru.

Ramiris also knew about those manas. Even for Guy, it would be difficult to fight with those freaks of nature and Rimuru at the same time.

"Heh. We will see, I have never seen Guy lose to anyone beside Lord Veldanava," Dino said. His voice was one of confidence, already assured of his win.

To be fair, it was difficult for him to imagine the Primordial Red losing in general, let alone to a slime.
