“GGAAAAOOOOOO”

The bastard finally decided to get serious.

He was a hulking 20ft something goat man with black fur and red eyes.

Covered in muscles and the smell of blood and death, he was definitely an evil demon.

The goat had huge horns that were basically spears but I effortlessly dodged them as he tried to ram me.

“COME ON!!!”

I shouted at the lumbering oaf as he walked towards me.

He threw a straight punch at me but I dodged again and it shattered the wall.

“Oh? Is that all you have?”

I laughed and decided to show him my power.

I ran at him and threw a punch of my own.

“GAAAAAAAA”

This time he let a scream that sounded more human.

He was probably bleeding internally with many broken bones.

“ENOUGH!!!”

The goat man shouted with such ferocity that he blew everything around him back.

“Just pick if you’re a demon or a beast already”

“You fool, do you who you face? I am----”

“Dead is what you are if you don’t keep fighting”

[Earth Spear]

Multiple jagged rocks started to form from the floor and stab in to his legs until all that was left were bloody stumps.

Demon blood is black so it didn’t really stain his fur.

Instead of screaming cries of pain, he just started screaming.

“Y..y..y..you DARRRREE HARM ME!!??”

The surrounding area started shaking and the castle started to collapse.

A dark aura started to come over him and I couldn’t see inside the dark ball.

A dark wind started to radiate from the ball and I followed suit.

[Earthquake]

Instead of shaking the ground, I concentrated and released shockwaves in to the air.

And as a result, from his dark wind and my shockwaves we blew the castle completely apart.

I looked around and we were both now standing in the ruins of the castle.

“I know not who you are but you have allowed me to turn in a royal. For that, your reward is death”

The goat man had shrunk to just about 8 feet tall now and nearly all his muscles were gone.

Now he was more of a slender standing goat than that muscle-bound minotaur that he was a minute ago.

Suddenly he grew wings from his back and flew in to the air.

[Dark Void]

Countless balls of darkness started to materialize around him.

He causally pointed at me and the barrage started to come down.

Every time a ball hit something, it would explode with enough force to destroy a castle in one hit.

“Weak”

I was having fun but it looks like now he wanted to use magic instead of our fists.

[Nature’s Will]

I slammed my palms to the ground and countless vines started to shoot out of the ground.

Each vine caught a ball and smothered it, rendering it harmless.

“WHAT?!?”

The goat man was starting to panic as my vines were unfazed from his attacks.

But they kept going and reached for him.

He did his best to evade them but he was caught and wrapped up nicely.

“Well now, can’t have you trying to run anymore”

I then tore his wings off with my vines.

“NNNNNNNNNNNN”

He couldn’t even scream properly with how tight I was holding him.

He started to get black blood on my vines but that was a given.

I decided to release his mouth to hear what he had to say.

“Wha. . What are you? No human can be this strong, unless. . .”

“NOPE!!! I’m not a hero”

I said with a smile on my face.

“Then. . .”

“Let’s just say I’m bored and that you demon king candidates are my current entertainment”

“!!! How do you know about that?”

“It doesn’t matter since you’re about to die now”

I watched as the girl’s features started to change.

Her long black hair turned emerald green and her brown eyes turned yellow.

In all my years, I have never encountered such a powerful being.

I have fought dragon lords and even they were more of a match for me.

I was in shock from both blood loss and fear.

But I couldn’t deny that this was now the end.

I wasn’t able to become the Demon King even after I just reached a new level of power.

I broke my limits due to a near death experience but she was only playing.

“I’m letting you see something special before you die, so don't be sad”

Her eyes started to glow and the earth itself split apart beneath me.

The vines suspended me in the ravine and I could barely think anymore.

Is this what Hell would feel like?

But even Hell would be welcoming to a demon.

No . . .this was . . . .

“Good bye”

Her face was the last thing I saw as the earth clapped itself together again.
