The battle between Leon and Kazaream continued for a full day and night.
He was not simply calling himself Great Demon Lord for nothing, as Kazaream possessed an overwhelming amount of energy incomparable to what he had before.
Even after fighting a lengthy battle, he showed no sign of exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Leon and Mizari were also the same, but even though they were fighting together, they were still toyed with by Kazaream.
The only reason why Leon was able to continue fighting was because Kazaream was going easy on him; Leon noticed this and ground his teeth.
“Will I meet my doom here?” Leon asked himself.
If that were inevitable, then so be it. Until Now, he had lived by crushing the weak.
Of course, when he thought about it as his own turn finally coming up, he could accept it obediently.
...No. Would that really be fine for him?
He spared no sacrifice when it came to his search for Chloe.
He even learned summoning magic himself, and had summoned several people in his selfishness.
One of them was Claude, and another was the burned girl.
Claude vowed his vengeance against Leon, challenging him countless times, yet before they knew it, his attempts at revenge had ceased, and the two came to recognize each other.
Leon believed himself to be selfish and cared not for others’ expectations. That was natural.
He might not have been able to survive in this harsh world otherwise, finding and protecting that girl could be said to be his only reason for living, yet that seemed a dream within a dream.
Therefore, he thought, it can’t be helped that he would be resented, and so he continued to cruelly cut down the weak.
That was Leon’s way of life, the true reason why he couldn’t be a Hero even though he had awakened as a Hero.
A human is a creature who has a hard time understanding another person’s mind. They live without showing anyone their own mind. Therefore, there was no one with the desire to understand Leon’s feelings, even if he wished for it.
A person like Claude is an exception among the exceptions.
Ergo, he thought that for people whom he summoned selfishly had every right to enact revenge against him.
He saw the Silver Knight Alrose fall down from the corner of his eye.
Moderate Clown Troupe is a gathering of hedonists. They fight against anyone by request without any principle.
Kazaream gathered such people, possibly in part due him been warped by defeat in his fight against Leon.
It reached the point where he showed an obstinate obsession for Leon and lined up his subordinates for varied harassment.
The reason why Clayman acted hostile toward Leon could be traced back to Kazaream’s obsession.
Regardless of their appearance, these were once Kazaream’s companions. They wouldn’t be weak.
No one would think that the devil called Footman with a body that fat could be toying around with Alrose and his quick movement.
Alrose’s swordsmanship was top class, but because he’s a master of proper swordsmanship, he’s weak against irregular attacks.
