The World's Strongest Martial Artist Who Has Worked Too Hard, Survives In The Magic World With Ease Chapter 41

Chapter 11 – The other demon lords

       In the Demon Forest which was dyed in red by the sunset… .

“What are you doing…!?” (Colon)

       Colon who just arrived at Maurice’ house was confused . After all, there were a lot of broken magic wands scattered on the floor .

“Oh, Colon . You arrived faster that I thought . ” (Phillip)

“The hero party is complete now… . ahh!” (Maurice)

       Maurice broke another magic wand into two with his bare hands .

“It was a lot better . However, it still broke even though I haven’t use half of my full power yet . ” (Maurice)

“I’ve even applied strengthening magic on them . That alone seems not enough . ” (Phillip)

“I guess the problem lies on their materials . I think it would only waste of time unless we make it from a harder material . ” (Maurice)

“However, you said that Ash-kun had defeated a red dragon when he was still twelve years old . I just couldn’t think of a material harder than the red dragon’s scales . ” (Phillip)

“I guess we’re in a bind now… . ” (Maurice)

“H-Hey, I also want to join the conversation…!” (Colon)

       Colon who was feeling left out, barged between the two people who were sitting on the floor .

“Following Dark Emperor, Ash-kun had defeated Earth Emperor too . Therefore, I want to give him a magic wand that will never break as thanks . ” (Phillip)

“However, the result is just as you can see… . ” (Maurice)

       Having said that, Maurice and Phillip sighed . Meanwhile, Colon was dumbfounded .

“H-Hold on… . Did earth Emperor really appear…?” (Colon)

“Yeah . I heard it from Phillip just the other day . It was ten days ago, on the same day Ash-kun turned back to a three-years-old kid after drinking your medicine . ” (Maurice)

“Without Ash-kun, the human race would have returned to the earth by now . However, this is only the beginning of the end . ” (Phillip)

       Hearing the story of her two friends, Colon felt a chill on her back .

“So the other demon lord really appeared… . Does it mean the Day of End just around the corner…?” (Colon)

       Phillip nodded once and then looked at the faces of his two friends with a serious expression .

“Do you still remember the parting words of Dark Emperor before we defeated him a long time ago? [Soon, all the demon lord’s will gather together to eradicate the humanity . Enjoy this brief peace while you can… . ] — he said . ” (Phillip)

       Dark Emperor was the master of dark magic . Therefore, Phillip had a speculation that there were seven demon lords in total, the same number as magic elements . Phillip’s speculation was proved to be true by the appearance Demon Lord Earth Emperor .

       The three heroes had barely managed to defeat Dark Emperor once . If the remaining demon lords kept appearing one after another, the eradication of humanity would become an unavoidable future .

       Then again, if the parting words of Dark Emperor were announced to public, although it was brief, it would break the peace that humanity had finally gained . Therefore, the three heroes had decided to take a secret measure; to raise the stronger disciples than themselves .

       However, Maurice, Phillip, and Colon were the strongest in the world . Finding a disciple who could surpa.s.s them was not easy . When the first disciple was found, nearly 50 years had pa.s.sed since the subjugation of Dark Emperor .

“I had a hard time finding my successor, but my eyes were not wrong after all . In just eleven years, Ash has become the world’s strongest martial artist!” (Maurice)

“I admit that Ash-kun is insanely strong… . However, my disciple is not inferior to him . Eleven years ago, when she just entered the school by recommendation, she has already surpa.s.sed me . ” (Phillip)

“Even my disciple… . when she was fifteen years old… . her dark magic has already surpa.s.sed mine… . In addition, she’s also a top cla.s.s pharmacist now… . I’m sure she can stand side by side with Ash-kun… . ” (Colon)

       Phillip and Colon were burning in a sense of rivalry after hearing Maurice praised Ash . Of course, Maurice didn’t want to lose to them .

“But Ash is a strong and a good boy! He always celebrates my birthday every year! In other words, Ash is the best—” (Maurice)

*creaaak!*

     Before Maurice could finish his words, there was a shrill sound reverberating .

“It’s not another demon lord… . isn’t it…?” (Colon)

       It was the worst case of scenario . However, since Dark Emperor did really reappear in this place, that possibility couldn’t be denied .

“There are a lot of Distortion of Time and s.p.a.ce in this forest… . I’m sure it’s just some monster… . ” (Maurice)

       Maurice said in a casual tone to relieve Colon’s anxiety .

“Just in case, should we go to check it?” (Phillip)

“Good idea . ” (Maurice)

       The three people went out of house while being surrounded by tension .

*cras.h.!.+*

      The s.p.a.ce broke about 10 meters away from them, and something came out of there — a skeleton wearing yellow cloak .
