The king was sitting in his throne, thinking about what Jack told him, "Prepare for what happens when she inevitably finds out where I've been for the past year." It suggested that the fire spawn considered her survival to inevitable, and because it had a guardian under its direct control, it seemed that it managed to do something unbelievable for a demon as weak as Jack. His thoughts were interrupted when the entire mountain started to tremble. With a loud tremor the ground shook uncontrollably. The shaking repeated every 20 seconds. Knowing what was about to happen, the king sighed and said, "I suppose it's that time of the century."
Walking through the halls of the castle, past his most most loyal warriors, all waiting for the king to deal with the threat approaching them. As he walked out in the courtyard of the castle, by the side of the cliff, he was met by a colossal monster blocking out the sky. It was an enormous demon made of rock and hellfire, it was a walking mountain. The king looked upon the titan and shouted in a voice that could be heard across his entire kingdom, "ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A KING!?" That shout got the attention of the monster, as it looked at the tiny red demon standing on the mountain half its size. The titan addressed the king with condescending voice, "I have been searching for a demon that could match my power. Nothing in this world has even come close. I will not be satisfied by killing puny insects like you." The king replied by being sympathetic and said, "I know how you feel, I have never found a demon stronger than me in a million years."
The titan felt insulted by the idea that someone so small could be considered unbeatable, it asked with great anger, "ARE YOU CLAIMING TO BE THE KING I WAS TOLD ABOUT?!" The king calmly replied, "Yes." The titan laughed, "You can not be serious! A tiny creature like you are supposed to be a..." The king interrupted to say, "A match for you. Yes, I have heard this speech a thousand times." The titan felt disrespected, but it was done letting this tiny demon taunt it. The ground shook, as it raised its arm resulting in a massive change in the stream of wind on the mountain, It was about to crush the king along with his castle. In retaliation, demonic energy started building up around the arms and legs of the king. When the fist of the titan was coming down, the king jumped into the air, leaving cracks in the ground where he stood. When their fists collided, the massive arm of the titan began to crack. The cracks grew quickly and when the king landed on the ground, the titans arm collapsed, broke into multiple chunks and crashed into the ground bellow.
The titan shouted in pain, realizing the immense power hidden inside that tiny body. The king stood on his feet and with smug confidence said, "Every one hundred years, a titan comes to this land, seeking to display its power, and every time I remain unchallenged." The titan refused to give in, it raised its other arm, but the king was done entertaining this jester, he focused an immeasurable amount of demonic energy in one hand and with one punch a giant hole was left in the titans' chest. As the towering monster fell, the king stood there and thought, "Power is all that matters, it doesn't matter what kind of power it is, if you can use it to make your enemies submit to you, then you can do whatever you want, regardless of what is right and what is wrong."
As the king went back to his throne, he kept wondering about his uncertain future, "And now those morons are invading the world the saint was brought to. They probably already gave her the energy she needed to recover. I should expect her to have learned from her mistakes, our next fight will probably not be as easy for me."
