Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Arghh!"

Lokiath groaned in pain, getting down on his knees.

"Stop it, mf!"

He raised his palm, clutching Maurice's fingers that were crushing his shoulder, trying to break his finger, only to fail.

He was weak—really weak.

He had just been summoned to this world, and he was supposed to receive his when he needed it the most; according to the system, now was the time, but he couldn't even access the system interface.

'Fuck, where are you, mfing syste—?!'

He roared inwardly, but his scream was cut short as...

*Crack*

A crisp sound of something cracking was heard and Lokiath's eyes went as wide as an egg before...

"ARGHHHHHHH!"

He let out a pained screech; the demons in the surroundings, however, just enjoyed the scene.

Maurice, as the crown prince, was pretty talented—so much so that he was considered one of the top 15 young demons—reaching the peak of EX-rank at the age of 19.

So for him, crushing Lokiath, who was an S-ranker, was like snapping a twig.

"Sto—"

Elenia, who was chuckling at the grand reveal about Maurice, now had her eyes wide in shock and rage.

She couldn't believe Maurice would directly attack Lokiath, her sweet little brother.

But before she could even complete her words, she froze in her spot.

*Clap**Clap*...

"Excellent, I see you intend to settle this matter as true men should.

Continue, and know this: the victor shall have their choice of anything within the imperial treasury."

The sound of clapping was heard, followed by the happy voice of their oh-so-great demon lord, who seemed to be enjoying this development.

"Thank you for the opportunity, my lord."

Maurice was quick to lick Alex's feet as he bowed his head toward Alex, his hand still pressing Lokiath to the ground.

"Good."

Alex nodded his head at Maurice before he turned toward Elenia, who was frozen in time by none other than Alex himself.

"Now, what should I do with you??"

He tapped his chin as he scanned Elenia's body, and there was only one thing he would want to say as he looked at her figure—a toned-down version of muscle mommy.

She was beautiful on top of that, but for Alex, who had his eyes set only on the girls who sat well with him, she was just meh.

The king and queen of the Fyzenar kingdom were frozen in their spots, not because they wanted to, but because Azaroth made them to.

Although he didn't care much about them living or dying, he cared about the empire, and losing more than one kingdom in just a week wasn't a good sign.

So, he, as the demon ancestor, stopped the king and queen even before they could make a move.

But how could Alex not notice that?

"It's fine, Azaroth; I wouldn't want to weaken the empire that I rule over."

Alex spoke without even looking back, as he stared at Elenia for a while before his eyes brightened in realization.

"Let them free."

Alex ordered Azaroth, and the demon ancestor, deciding to trust Alex, let the king and queen of the Fyzenar kingdom go free, but unlike what one would think, they didn't rush forward.

They had heard Alex's words, and that was enough to give them an idea of what he must be talking about, so although devastated, they still stood in their spots.

"That's the proper way to conduct yourself. Here, take her."

*Woosh*

Along with those satisfied words, Alex waved his words, and Elenia, who was frozen still in her spot, was teleported right next to her mother and father.

"Keep her in check, and I will make sure that your son is still alive."

Again, Alex uttered those words without even looking back, but his confident and commanding tone was enough for the king and the queen of the kingdom to have their worries lessened.

"Now, I should make the competition a bit fair, right?

I don't want to be called unreasonal ruler or something like that, after all."

Alex chuckled as he stared at Lokiath and Maurice with a pondering look before he began.

"All right, first..."

*Swoosh*

He waved his hand, and both Maurice and Lokiath, who were inches away from each other, were now standing 10 meters away from each other with their mouths wide open, unsure of what happened.

"And then, this..."

Alex muttered again, and Maurice, who was standing in his spot with a bewildered look, grew horrified as he realized his strength was regressing.

"Now, it's fair."

Alex nodded his head repeatedly, as if proud of his deed, and everyone suddenly saw a red minus mark appearing above Maurice's head.

"W-Wha…"

Maurice stumbled backward while waving his hands, trying to scratch away the minus sign, but just then, he heard Alex's voice again.

"Don't worry, it merely indicates that your power has been reduced to S-rank. Now, you can fight to your heart's content."

Maurice's dumbfounded eyes moved toward Alex, wanting to know why Alex did this, but all he saw was the carefree gaze of Alex before he heard his voice in his ears.

"Do you wish for everyone to see you as a coward who abuses his superior power to bully the weak?

Do you believe Elenia would love you for that?

You are the crown prince of the Noxviel kingdom, not like your opponent, who has never even harmed a fly, much less wielded a sword. So, act like the prince you are."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Those words caused Maurice's gaze to pua before it turned toward Lokiath, who was staring at him with eyes filled with resentment, then his eyes turned toward Elenia, who, despite being warned by her parents, didn't seem satisfied.

'I don't need superior power to destroy that look on your face...'

His eyes turned sharp as he stared back at Lokiath with a gaze filled with resolution, now confident about his victory, before he spoke.

"Be ready, waste; I'm not going to go easy on you."

Maurice's voice reverberated throughout the tense atmosphere, causing Lokiath to frown his brows on the outside; inwardly, however, that guy was desperately trying to call for the system.

'I don't know fuck about magic; what am I supposed to do?! System, answer me!'

"Good, both of you seem eager. Let the fight begin!"

Alex, who saw this, gestured for both Maurice and Lokiath to move, announcing the start of the fight.

The next moment, he waved his hand, and five thrones emerged from the ground, one for him and the other for the three generals, along with Azaroth.

"Let us have a seat."

Alex asserted before he sat on his throne, pulling Luna on his lap as if it were a natural thing to do. Noctura, on the other hand, was still asleep in his arms, as she was under Alex's spell.

With that, the fight began as Maurice rushed toward the unprepared Lokiath.

Many people were relieved by the development, many dissatisfied, and many excited, but one thing was common for all of them: they were looking forward to the result of the fight.
