Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

The flames burned fiercely in front of the gate.

Logically speaking, fire magic shouldn't last this long, and there seem to be various cylindrical fragments within the flames.

Deep within the flames, fragments of various parts tumbled in the heat. They were probably the remains of fuel tanks.

So, is the flame from the grease-like fuel in those cans?

And what comes out of the flames?

A little girl's figure leaped out of the sea of ​​fire with a front flip!

The little girl with reddish-purple hair put her hands on her hips and swayed as she landed on the ground.

"Hahahaha! Chihiris City! Your Demon Emperor has returned!!!"

With a loud shout from her!

Artofi, her four kings, and Mr. Muya all swallowed hard.

"Could that guy be...?"

"That's right! I am none other than Chisilica Chisilis! Known as the Demon Emperor!"

good......

Wow, that's amazing...

Her head was still on fire...

His steps looked unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment, yet he exuded such confidence!

But just as this witch was thinking this, the next second she couldn't hold on any longer, clutched her stomach, and knelt on the ground, vomiting all over the place.

NPC: "That's it? You scared me to death! I thought it was Alucard, but it's that idiot?"

Muya: "Don't let your guard down! Lord Alucard went looking for her before, so her presence here means..."

At this moment, she finished vomiting, then turned her head to look behind her, and her voice suddenly became extremely obsequious as she began to communicate with someone.

"I...I'm so sorry...Lord Jax...I've...disgraced you..."

As she spoke, everyone took another deep breath.

Lord Jess? Is it the Holy Sword Jess?

Then, amidst the flames, it was suddenly blasted apart and scattered by the internal impact!

One of the figures waved his coat as a cape!

Then the flames were extinguished completely!

That is?

Wind King's Barrier?!

The white-haired man who appeared from within kicked the Demon Emperor in the rear, sending him flying!

The latter traced a short arc in the air, and then the two horns on her head got stuck in the wall...

"Not only did you deceive me, you even dared to steal my thunder! You truly deserve to die."

"I...I didn't lie. Kidnapping a young girl, imprisoning her, and forcing her to wear a wedding dress—that definitely counts as indecent assault, doesn't it?"

There's no mistake!

Although his hair has turned white and he looks exhausted, he is Trevor!

[Trevor's Perspective]

cut......

Loki was not harmed. Although Atofi was an idiot, Muya and the others definitely wouldn't have the guts.

I wish I hadn't been in such a rush...

......

but......

"Yo! Witch! Long time no see."

"Trevor... Trevor! It really is you! Are you... are you alright?"

Is the witch going to get so excited that she'll drop little pearls?

hmm~~~

"...Okay...that's great..."

but......

That's what they say.

I need to catch my breath a little.

Because I chose to separate from Alucard, I have temporarily lost Alucard's flight speed.

To make up for this, I took out the VOB thrusters that I used in the battle with Alucard, which were modeled after those manufactured in the Armor Core, and made some temporary modifications...

Throughout this flight, it had to continuously consume magic to generate fuel for propulsion, while also maintaining a wide range of limitless spells to keep its aerodynamic shape intact...

I also need to keep using healing magic on Chisiri, otherwise she'll be crushed into Chisiri-chan by the powerful acceleration...

And because it was a rushed project, it was prone to malfunctions and crashes from time to time...

Then they made a new one... and it took them a whole day and night to fly back...

I'm so tired...

But just as I was catching my breath, some fool appeared.

NPC1: "Lord Artofi? Alucard doesn't seem to be with the original princess?"

NPC2: "It seems that's indeed the case..."

NPC3: "Lord Artofi, are you still going to pretend to be a hero and challenge Alucard?"

Atofi: "You bunch of idiots! Since Alucard isn't here, what's there to be afraid of?! Besides, he seems to know our new princess! You know what to do next, right?"

NPC4: "Oh, oh, oh~ As expected of Lord Atofi!"

NPC1: "I'll lead the charge from here!"

ha?

A bunch of worthless scoundrels, do they really think I'm some delicate princess?

never mind......

It seems they are only afraid of Alucard, not me.

Alucard won't be back anytime soon, and perhaps because of the distance, I can't sense him either.

But this is for the best.

Next, I will personally carry out the plan and personally defeat these fools completely!

First, pick an unlucky guy and make an example of him.

Just then, a nobody whose name I can't remember came up to me with an excited look on his face.

"My name is Karina! I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Atofi! The Wind Karina...?!"

Ugh......

What an unlucky guy, he actually went and courted death...

I have no patience to listen to these fools spout their nonsense, so my response to her is my holy sword!

The magic condensed into light and heat, transforming the holy sword's blade back into a radiant giant sword. Before she could finish speaking, a vertical slash vaporized half of her body.

"Um?"

What happened?

Am I out of practice?

Although I wasn't entirely serious with my attack just now, it was definitely aimed at killing her. But before I could even make my move, she started to dodge...

never mind......

Since this guy is lucky to be alive, let's spare his life.

Moreover, even for an undead demon of her level, such an injury would take a long time to heal.

After all, this wasn't a slash with a sharp blade, but rather the direct vaporization of its body by high temperatures.

However, if we're talking about demonstrating our strength, that sword strike just now should be enough.

The hall was deathly silent.

My current power is indeed unreasonable.

She's even more sinister than the Black Saber with her infinite magic; lightsabers are now my signature move.

Although the undead have strong regenerative abilities, being hit head-on by that kind of attack and completely vaporized would be a certain death for a low-level undead.

In this way, they should also realize that the king standing in front of them, with his white hair, is not a weakling who can only rely on Alucard to save face.

I deliberately glanced at Muya, and this intelligent strategist did indeed have a very unpleasant expression on his face.

"You guys don't seem to understand the situation."

They always mistake my patience and restraint for weakness.

Dealing with you is as easy as snapping my fingers for me, and the same goes for Alucard.

He was really just playing around with you guys.

and......

You're all so scared...

Did you just mistake me for a weakling?

"Get your identities straight, you are the challengers!"

hmm~

The other party is getting angry.

It seems like the other person is the type who's truly fearless.

But I won't give them a chance to speak!

I immediately flung the holy sword away, and its light vanished. I flipped my hand and put the sword back into its scabbard, standing there empty-handed.

"Rest assured, I will not use the Holy Sword again, nor will I kill you. How about that? Now you have the courage to attack me, don't you?"

They were indeed enraged.

The rest of the people swarmed forward, shouting all sorts of profanities.

"You bastard! Are you looking down on us?"

He dodged the first punch by sidestepping, and then struck the attacker's abdomen with the heel of his palm. The man was sent flying backward, curled up like a shrimp, and crashed into a row of stone pillars.

"There's no way around it, because you're all too weak, and the witch is watching. Let me show off a little for a bit."

Another fellow drew his sword and slashed—the sword that I, the king, had given to Loki, its blade gleaming with a watery blue luster in the firelight.

"Don't look down on people!"

He dodged the slash by sidestepping, grabbed the man's wrist from below and twisted it, snatching the sword from his own hand. With a backhand slash, he severed the man's head from his neck, the head rolling several times on the ground.

"Damn it! You—"

"The corpse is talking."

The third guy...

"You will be defeated by me! Today! Right here!"

"Then good luck. But I don't think you have the ability."

This guy was somewhat passable; he exchanged a couple of sword moves with me, but only two before his stance crumbled.

Then he stepped back, raised his hand, and prepared to chant a magic spell.

When his lips moved to the second syllable, I, the king, severed all four of his fingers with a single sword stroke!

Then he pierced his palm with a sword!

"What? Can you still perform magic tricks without this hand?"

The other party glared at me through gritted teeth in pain.

"It seems that's not possible."

In the distance, Muya was hiding behind a collapsed stone pillar, secretly preparing some kind of spell.

cut......

Third-rate...

I used the body of the person in front of me to block the incoming attack, and then used him as a human shield to smash directly at Muya!

In the instant Muya dodged, it certainly couldn't hurt him.

I was only using this trick to slightly obscure the opponent's view.

He then raised his hand and fired a clay spear in the direction Muya was dodging. The spear pierced through his body and became lodged inside, instantly branching out and pinning him to the wall, with blood flowing down the crack.

This technique was developed by me when I was a child, imitating the Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique.

At the time, I thought it was useless, because you could use other moves to break through the enemy's defense, but it was completely useless against the enemy's defense.

But I never expected to use it against the Undead Demons today.

The Four Heavenly Kings Gamuya......

Ugh......

It doesn't even qualify as a speed bump...

Now only Atofi remains.

"What? Aren't you going to make a move?"

"You! Why didn't you use the Holy Sword! Why did you use the Northern God Style's techniques?!"

"There's nothing I can do. Your skills are so terrible that you don't even deserve to die by my hand! I'm just here to give you some guidance on behalf of the first Northern God, Kalman Rebek."

This statement completely enraged Atofi.

"You?! You think you're worthy?!"

She drew the giant sword, which was taller than herself, and leaped toward me with a roar.

He bent backward as far as he could, gathering his strength, attempting to cut me in two with a single, powerful stroke!

"Hmph! The techniques of the Northern God Style are not something a fool can understand! Let me teach you!"

I, of course, did not draw my sword; I met the attack with my bare hands!

(Actually, he wasn't empty-handed; he had arm armor made of gogol armor.)

The crane-beak hand hook blocked Atofi's greatsword!

As metal clashed!

The greatsword slipped from Atofi's hand instead!

My body has not fully recovered, and I have little strength left, while Atofi's strength is undoubtedly greater than mine.

But in this confrontation, I only intend to use the techniques of the Northern God Style with my bare hands to completely subdue this fool!

The power of the knife depends on the amplitude of the pendulum.

The key to my counterattack lies in the timing and position of my strike. I timed my attack precisely at the moment Atofi's weapon was unleashed, and proactively applied force from below his greatsword.

The center of gravity of the greatsword in the opponent's hand shifted due to the lever principle!

It spun around and crashed down behind me!

But Atofi was indeed skilled; while still in mid-air, he immediately kicked the hilt of the sword!

The immense power instantly caused the greatsword to spin behind me, about to cleave down my demon orb!

How vicious Kitakami Ryu!

My crotch isn't armored!

In desperation, the Shadow King could only slightly dodge to the side to avoid the attack!

Atofi picked up the greatsword again and, using the rubble that flew up from the ground, swung it at me!

snort!

"You've got a knack for it."

I crossed my arms, adopting a stance similar to the small frame of Bajiquan, then stood in a horse stance and unleashed a series of punches, shattering all the flying stones!

Atofi seized the opportunity to instantly adjust his stance, and swung his greatsword at the king in a sweeping attack!

Although my physical abilities have not yet recovered to their peak, my reaction speed, enhanced by my battle aura, has not weakened in the slightest!

He dodged the fierce attack by leaning back with minimal effort!

Atofi's moves are wide and sweeping, with long wind-up and even longer wind-up. At this moment, the flaw in her sweeping attacks is also revealed!

Turn your back to me!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I leaned back and gathered my strength to throw a punch at Atofi!

But Atofi actually turned around and drew his sword with one hand!

Forcibly shift the greatsword's center of gravity and parry with your sword while facing away!

I slammed my fist into the thickest part of the sword!

Then Atofi's wings suddenly grew larger, turning into something like a cape, obstructing my vision and attempting to launch a sneak attack!

I never imagined that Atofi's Kitakami-ryu kung fu was actually quite powerful.

Physical fitness is my weakness, but the quality of my fighting spirit far surpasses that of my opponent.

Atofi seems to know his disadvantage, so he chose to use his wings to block the king's view.

The opponent's speed and reaction are inferior to mine, and he only has a slight advantage in strength. So if you want to beat me, you have to compete in terms of moves.

snort!

It's just a clever trick.

For a single sword, focus on the hand; for two swords, focus on the elbow.

Atofi's two-handed greatsword allows you to easily judge an opponent's sword path by carefully observing their power exertion posture!

Even without my vision, I successfully struck again based solely on my prediction!

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's vision was obscured by his greatsword and wings, I leaped up and struck the opponent's jaw with a high-level forward spinning kick.

It's unknown whether this move can cause concussions in undead.

But it's still more effective than using attacks with cutting properties.

Alice lost so badly because she was countered by the sword, right?

My kick only made Atofi momentarily lose his senses; he only turned his head due to the kick, but his body did not lose its balance.

It seems concussion attacks won't work...

The moment I landed, Atofi, with one hand on the side, dragged his sword, preparing to smash it down on me with all his might!

My response was to turn around and perform a spinning kick, striking the tip of the blade once more!

Atofi's knife flew out of his hand again!

I intend to take the opportunity to step on the blade and destroy her weapon directly.

But Atofi saw through it all!

He threw down his knife and swung a punch at my stomach, forcing me back.

cut!

While I was adjusting my stance, Atofi unleashed a somersaulting downward chop. I raised my foot and struck his hand again!

Then he swung the knife around wildly!

But this time, the opponent's fatal flaw has appeared!

Her technique for applying force is wrong!

I, the king, will not let this opportunity pass. I immediately twisted my body in a handstand and kicked her forearm joint. Her forearm bent instantly. The greatsword spun around her severed forearm and struck her!

I, on the other hand, will seize the opportunity to launch a close-range attack!

For a short time, she can only use her other hand to attack!

Her close-combat skills are far inferior to mine!

After parrying her arm with one hand, I delivered a powerful elbow strike to the heart of the greatsword that was stuck in her body!

Then came a series of punches, continuously deepening the depth to which the blade was embedded!

Atofi still wants to fight back!

And I elbowed her in the chin again!

Then, taking advantage of her brief moment of distraction, I turned around, took a lunge stance, and punched her sword with all my might!

The blade severed it completely!

She lay on the ground panting for a while, then made no attempt to get up or pick up the sword.

"...Tch...I lost..."

What's wrong...?

She even cried after I beat her?

Surely not?

Just as I was at a loss, Chishilica broke free from the crack in the wall, trotted over to my feet, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Quick! Kill her! Look, she's already beaten to the point of no return! How pitiful she is!? Why not just end her life and send her to reunite with her dead husband?"

That girl, Chishilica...

So after all that, you just wanted me to kill Atofi?

Why go through all this trouble if I want to kill her?

With a single move, Crimson Emperor Azure Star, she was instantly reduced to ashes. If she were to use Fated Death, she wouldn't even have a chance to revive.

The reason I went to such great lengths was to subdue her and make her my subordinate.

Then I punched Chishilica on the head.

"Who's the boss between us?"

"...You're the boss."

"What's the boss?"

"He's a secret emperor!"

"What about the others from the Demon Continent?"

"They are all His Majesty's subjects!"

"Who has the right to dispose of it?"

"In...in His Majesty's hands!"

"Hmm... Good to know."

Let's put the Atofi matter aside for now. What I want to do more now is...

We're looking for a witch!

I approached Loki and freed her from her cage!

She clutched her sleeve, her eyes gleaming.

"Trevor~"

Wow!

The witch has become so cutesy and cheesy!

Kuhehe~

[Luo Qixi's Perspective]

he?

he?

he?

Is he really Trevor?

How did you become taller than me in just a few years?

And he's so amazing!

So cool!

So handsome!

It smells so good!

calm down!

You're an adult... Luo Qixi!

Stay calm!

"I apologize. I know this may not be the reunion you imagine, and it's actually not quite what I imagined myself to be like."

"What kind of image do you envision?"

"Hmm... It should be on a bright morning on the campus of a magic university."

I have prepared flowers and gifts in advance to confess my love to you in front of everyone.

Then, blushing, you accepted, and we began dating with marriage in mind.

Finally, amidst everyone's blessings, she kept showering everyone with sweetness.

"That would be so embarrassing!"

so close!

Fortunately, she and Silphie didn't make it to the magic university, otherwise they would have been incredibly embarrassed in front of acquaintances and teachers.

And... it's not bad like this now...

He looks so handsome. Although his white hair makes him look tired, he looks more like a hero from a story than ever before.

Since it's a game between the Demon King, the Hero, and the Princess, shouldn't I give him a kiss now? Or should I hug him first?

Should we hug first and then kiss?

Correct!

They should hug first and then kiss!

but......

Just then, a familiar voice and a familiar figure came from afar...

"Luo Qixi! Daddy's here to save you!"

"Mom's here too! Even if we die, our family will die together!"

"You two idiots, don't be so crazy! You're dragging me down with you! My plan is to secretly rescue her—!"

"But my daughter is about to be sexually assaulted!"

Mom and Dad?!

What are you doing here now?!
