Right now we’re at the training ground still training the soldiers. Honestly not that exciting at all, and at this point I’m itching to fight someone actually worth a damn, haven’t done that since the Hero and she’s still way weaker than me.

*Zoom*

“Seems like you’re managing this quite nicely” Yeig teleported in and commented.

“Well it could be better for sure, if only there’s a more exciting way of doing this, or some kind of motivation for them, then maybe this’ll go more smoothly” I could try threatening their lives, but that’s the old me, I don’t want to think about my old life if it’s possible, at least things like my personal goal and relationships back then, I’m different now, and that’s all there is to it.

“Yeah true enough, when I trained others I usually have some kind of incentive in mind, not that protecting one’s kingdom isn’t one, but some just wants more than that, everyone is selfish after all” She said.

“So do you have any idea or are you simply here to chat?” I said to her.

“I do, but it’s for you than them is the thing”

“What do you mean by that?” I asked with concern.

“Well here’s the thing, you have been growing stronger very fast, much faster than I expected to be real with you, and I feel like that can lead to lack of urgency, while I don’t think you would fall into that kind of thinking, I think some precautions are necessary”

“And what is this precaution?” I asked slightly concerned considering who it’s coming from.

“There is a saying that there’s always someone better than you, and I think having you go against someone stronger would actually remind you what tension actually feels like” She said with a grin.

“And I suppose this means you’ll summon some sort of legendary hero to absolutely destroyed me? Heck some of them are still here and I actually met them, thankfully they weren’t interested in fighting me”

“I do remember Normel coming here harassing me about where Marama will ended up so there’s that, thanks for that by the way” She said sarcastically with small amount of malice.

“Sooooo?”

“I’ll not be doing that lest they somehow went overboard and bust this planet in half, or worse the entire thing, I’ll pick someone less powerful than that… Actually this Earth is heavily reinforced so it should be fine… then again everything on it might still be destroyed regardless of how durable this planet is” She take some time thinking about it, doing the putting hand on their chin with their eyes closed pose. 

“Yeah original plan it is” 

“So who am I supposed to get my ass kicked by?” I said with a small amount of sarcasm and a ton of worries.

“Vermilla! Come here!” Oh shit.

“What?” My mom said sounding rather annoyed.

“I think you and your daughter could get some alone time, and by that I mean fighting each other” The last time I check her stats it’s actually pretty darn high, I might actually lose going against her… I really am not a fan of losing, fighting is fine, losing is not.

“Sounds interesting, last time I check the previous incarnation of the Demon Lord is slightly stronger than me, let’s see if her current self holds up” My mom said readying her blade already, so do I not get any say in this!?

“I mean you haven’t exactly been slacking all this time so the result might not be accurate” Yeig commented, so she’s even stronger now!?

“Details, anyway ready your blade as well” Mom said glaring at me, seems like I really have no choice in this.

“Oh! Before you two start let’s go somewhere else”

*Zoom*

“There we go!” Yeig said. Right now we’re somewhere… I don’t know actually, let’s look around… why are we at the top of a mountain? Suddenly Yeig levitates and floats away from us.

“Alright time to start!” Yeig announced, so we are actually doing this… this is gonna sucks.

Third, I’m a complete joke next to her… aside from health and mana her stats completely outstrips mine… this is much worse than expected.

Nothing for it, it’s do or die!

*Swing* *Parry*

Damn! Iaijutsu doesn’t work!

“Too slow” My mom said, yeah more like you’re too fast!

*Swing* *Block*

Gah! A swing from the side! I blocked it but damn is it a strong swing, how am I supposed to win again this!? Maybe a magic to caught her off-guard

*[Light Arrow]*

*Blast*

Yeah it worked! Hit her in the face and-

 

HP: 154,456/157,000

 

Anddddd not very effective. Shit.

“Quite a surprising move, but that won’t work on me” Thanks for the advice mom, how helpful.

*Swing* *Evade*

“Whoa!” Could’ve slice me in half!

“I could tell you’re preoccupied with your thoughts, regardless of how strong you are such a distraction will be your downfall” She said readying to close our gap.

*Dash* *Swing* *Block* *Swing* *Evade* *[Wind Spear]* *Hit*

“Ugh!” A direct hit! On me! Damn that hurts!

“Don’t you dare lose your focus!”

*Slash* 

“Gah!” Another direct hit on myself!

*[Mid-Heal]*

That should fix the-

*Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *[Dark Slash]*

Arrrg!!! Nope! Not at all! Three slash from three directions and a darkness enhanced one at the end! That was a net loss! If it weren’t for my massive health poll I would’ve died already!

*Swing* *Parry* *Swing* *Block* *Swing* *Block*

Ahhh! She’s swinging and slashing at me nonstop! I have no room to literally do anything else! Damn it time for desperation move!

“[Blood Boost]!” The ability to boost one’s strength using the blood they consumed, with this I should be able to follow her actions more easily.

 

Strength: 3,650 (+2,500)

Magic Prowess: 3,550 (+2,500)

Dexterity: 3,400 (+2,500)

Agility: 3,390 (+2,500)

Luck: 3,770 (+2,500)

Vitality: 3,100 (+2,500)

Magic Resistance: 3,370 (+2,500)

 

I used up a lot of it there, I can’t use much more [Blood Art] until I ran out and go insane, I need to be conservative with their uses.

*Swing* *Parry* *Swing* *Evade*

There!

*Slash*

Finally got a solid hit in! Need to follow up quickly! Need to ready my blade and go for a second strike!

*[Flame Blast]* *Blast*

Gah! Damn, as she’s getting knocked back she conjured a spell and retaliate immediately! If not for the boost I’ll be in serious trouble, damn that was fast! I never remembered mom as being a magic user, I know she can use it but not at this level! She really hasn’t been slacking at all.

*Dash* *Slash*

Arg! Really should stop monologing in the middle of the fight! I can’t afford to lose! 

*Swing* *Parry*

Need more fire power!

*[Blade of Darkness]* *Slash*

There! She’s knocked back!

*Tackle* 

Bet she didn’t expect that!

*Dash* *Slash* *Slash*

How was that?

 

HP: 102,341/157,000

 

That wasn’t even a third of her health… seriously is there any way to win? I need to think of something fast, especially with [Regeneration] healing her quickly as well.

 

HP: 104,957/157,000

 

Seriously! It has been only been a few seconds! I’m amazed that the last Hero can fought her off at all. I need to think of something… using [Blood Art], or anything at all! The worst part is that she’s going easy on me! She hasn’t use any [Blood Art] or any special sword techniques at all.

“[Blood Chain]!” I desperately cried out. The blood flowing out of me and formed a solid chain that tied my mother, rendering her unable to move.

“[Haste]!” Using this time magic to boost my speed, well to be exact it manipulated the way time have effect on my body, essentially slowing down everything except myself, it’s a dangerous magic that could have catastrophic after-effect due to the way it messed with reality. With this I could bring out more attacks and spells faster.

*Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *Bash* *[Light Arrow]* [Earth Bullet]* *[Flame Slash]* *[Light Slash]* *[Lightning]* *Slash* *[Ground Spike]* *Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *[Mana Bullet]* *[Ice Spear]* 

Haaa… haaa… haaa… The effect of both [Blood Boost] and [Haste] ran out and leave me with quite a nasty afterburn, I can barely stand… 

 

HP: 34,028/157,000

 

The [Blood Chain] disintegrated as well, even though I came close to finishing her off there’s no way I could beat her now, I exhausted myself just now and she surely have blood to spare to-

“[Blood Heal]” And there it is, her body momentarily flash red and all of her wounds close up immediately.

 

HP: 157,000/157,000

 

And she’s back at full health. Fantastic, there’s literally no way I could beat her now.

“That was unexpected, no matter, if that’s the best you can do I guess I’ll end this now” She said readying her sword, this is gonna hurt…

HP: 4,047/370,000

 

“Damn, you are completely merciless” Yeig said to mom looking at me lying on the ground completely defeated, it’s quite pathetic that the Demon Lord lose to someone with less authority than them, I really should try harder, I mean I know she’s abnormally strong for someone of this world but so am I.

“Mercy is not a thing on the battlefield, anyway that was enjoyable, if not meeting my expectation” Mother said. She definitely is merciless, even to her own kid, well, I think it’s really only the case during battle, otherwise she’s not that strict or stoic, I remember the time where she’s complaining to Yeig about not having anything fun to do, it’s a bit weird that she had that side to her despite her elegant and serious air. Anyway can they heal me already? It’s really painful, all the stabbing and slashing and magic. 

“Not mincing word huh? Anyway time to heal her up, can’t exactly leave the Demon Lord to died after all”

*[Max-Heal]*

Ahhhh feels so much better now.

“Now get back up, we’re going back” Yeig said.

“Yeah yeah” I stand back up brushing my clothes.

“Hope this drill the concept into your head, can’t have you underestimating anyone now can we?”

“I understand the first time, no need to bring my mom into this”

“As if I’m convinced, well hopefully we don’t have to inflict this on you again if you failed” Yeig said.

“Ummm, can you expand on what do you mean by failed?”

“Not just combat situation, but also other things as well, like managing troops, the kingdom, all of that and more, if you make a mistake remember that you’ll get a beating”

“Great…” I said sarcastically.

“If push come down to shove I’ll do it myself” She said with a grin. I’d rather her don’t do that.

“No thanks” I said.
