Varakiel: indeed that's the case.

Yunyun: big brother!

Yunyun quickly hugs varakiel.

Megumin: ah, you're back!

Darkness: did something happen that you took so long to come back?

Granberia: welcome back.

Demon king: 💢 oh!? Very well if a damn fight is what you want you got yourself a fucking fight.

Varakiel: (just like kazuma, provoke them a bit and they forget about everything.) Good bring it.

???: Stop!

Suddenly a female demon rushes in to the room.

???: I won't allow my father to fight by himself!

Demon king: dear, go back you shouldn't be here!

???: I don't care if to stop this dumb war we must defeat these heroes then i'll do it!

Granberia:....very well young one follow me.

Granberia then walks out of the castle.

Demon king daughter:...

Varakiel:....heh, your daughter is very brave.

Demon king: don't you dare to mention her hero.

Varakiel: Relax, I am a father myself, I know how it feels ...listen demon king, I just came to defeat you, not kill you and not hurt anyone dear to you, but is this how you want your people to live in? On war? 

Demon king: Do you even know why we are fighting!? Those Psychos from the crimson magic village were spying on my daughter! How did you expect me to take it!

Varakiel:....wait…. what!? That's the reason!?

Demon king: of course it is! Why do you believe I wanted them dead!?

Varakiel:....i see…..on behalf of their behavior i am sorry demon king….

Demon king:...Kyoichi Yasaka, that 's my name.

Varakiel:....let's stop this war after this fight, I have a good relationship with the chief daughter. I bet she will take care of those guys who spied on your daughter.

Yasaka:.....i want them to apologize to my daughter.

Varakiel: leave it to me.

Yasaka:.....why is the reason behind your desire to fight me?

Varakiel: just to prove myself how much I have grown, nothing else, stopping war is a secondary objective for me.

Yasaka: so you are just a damn muscle head.

Varakiel: hahaha, nothing would describe me better…so? We should begin?

Yasaka: I the demon king Kyoichi Yasaka, ruler of the demons and monsters of this world. I'll face you hero!

Varakiel: I who bears the souls and will of the old heroes, who seeks strength to protect, I am he who desires for the future, a guide for the living, a judge for the sinners, I am the hero who protects the future, Varakiel! And i challenge you Kyoichi Yasaka!

Yasaka: your equipment is also strong, it's creator must be very talented.

Varakiel: indeed, it was crafted by one of my daughters, she is an exceptional blacksmith.

Varakiel was now wearing a armor and weapon set crafted by papi, sweet, love and effort.

[Varakiel weapon series]

Varakiel: (such a silly name but, hehe i keep liking it no matter what, thanks for your hard work, my child!)

Yasaka: your daughter? I see as someone of your desendace she must be very strong.

Varakiel: Of course, I know she will become the best blacksmith to ever be!

The air where he was standing suddenly blew up

Varakiel: good spell, now try mine, Salamander, purify my soul!

Varakiel soul is embraced by a gentle yet violent flame!

Salamander: Show me how far you have got!

Varakiel: [Hellfire]

Varakiel pierces his flame infused blade on the ground!

Yasaka: a fire spirit!?.....!!!!

Yasaka then notices that the ground begins to turn bright red.

Yasaka: o-oi, isn't this supposed to be an attack for a group of enemies?

Varakiel: it was

Then as the flames burst from the ground they converge in a majestic flame snake.

Varakiel: [Hellfire: Salamander] !!

Salamander: …..( varakiel…in the bed, tonight.)

Salamander was clearly excited by such a spell being called on her name….

Yasaka: I see…but it is very flashy you know, does it even work?

Varakiel: heh, don't underestimate the technique named after my beloved!

Then as varakiel charges towards Yasaka , the hellfire follows him.

Varakiel: Ha! 

*PHOOM*

as varakiel waves his sword to yasaka so does the hellfire.

Yasaka: !!!! Argh!

Yasaka is launch backwards!

Varakiel: like the beloved spirits who has always accompanied me, this technique represents that they always be in every attack in my blade, no matter how long it passes i will never forget them.

Salamander: (....you always say the corniest and dumbest things ever ... .but i can't say i don't love them….. hehehe.)

Yasaka: you're very strong…but I can't surrender that easily without putting a fight, HMPH!

*Boom*

Suddenly a lightning burst falls in yasaka!

Granberia says as she hands her hand to the demon king daughter…

Demon king daughter: who are you….

Granberia: call me, granberia.

Demon king daughter:....master granberia, there's nothing so we can't stop this war..?
