A boy raised by a demon king and a dragon king seems to be peerless in his school life.

Volume 7 Chapter 54 Demon King’s Eye

“Attack Form, Shiranui Unleashed”

Ruisha’s powerful front kick pierced Uracan’s side, and a searing pain, akin to being stabbed with a heated blade, surged through Uracan.

“Ugh…!”

(Effective, too effective. What kind of attack is this!?)

Uracan was overwhelmed by the damage, surpassing his expectations. Even when guarding, he felt a sense of being subdued from above. It was a sensation he had never experienced before, despite living as a formidable individual until now.

“Kuh, Demon Warlord’s Claw, Ibijeneru Crow!”

Against Ruisha, who was about to strike, Uracan extended sharp claws from his fingertips and attempted a counterattack. Launched in a counter-like fashion, the attack seemed to exploit Ruisha’s vulnerability. It was thought to be a sure hit, but astonishingly, Ruisha avoided the attack as if he had known it was coming, twisting his body slightly with a no-look evasion.

“all right”

Then, he drove a fist imbued with Qi into Uracan’s exposed abdomen.

Uracan, who missed the counter and took the hit, was sent flying backwards and tumbled to the ground in a sorry state. The composure he had when they first met was gone from his expression, replaced by impatience and anger seeping through.

Struggling to stand up, he glared at Ruisha and then noticed something.

“You… what’s with those eyes!?”

Uracan’s surprise was warranted, as he suddenly realized that Ruisha’s left eye had transformed at some point.

A golden shining eye, and within that eye, a hexagram pattern emerged.

It was only when pointed out that Ruisha noticed the change in his own eyes. And he also realized the magical power emanating from there. The wavelength of that magic was something he had felt before.

“This is… a Magic Eye!?”

Just like when the Dragon Eye awakened in his right eye, in Ruisha’s left eye, the “Magic Eye” that could perceive the flow of magic had awakened.

Ruisha created a hand mirror with magic and carefully confirmed his own eyes with it.

“Oh, indeed, this pattern is the one that appears in the Magic Eye. But why has the color of my eyes turned golden?”

As Ruisha pondered this question, Uracan, who had been trembling, suddenly shouted loudly.

“That golden shining Magic Eye… there’s no mistake! Why does a mere brat like you possess the Demon King’s eye, Satan’s Eye!?”

Satan’s Eye, the moment he heard that term, Ruisha recalled what he had asked Testarossa.

Certainly, that eye was the pinnacle of all Magic Eyes that only the Demon King was allowed to use. He couldn’t believe that something like that was dwelling inside him… Ruisha was astonished.

“Answer me! Why!? Why is it you who possesses it, not me!? That eye is meant for me, the Demon King, to possess!!”

Uracan shouted at Ruisha, half-mad, while tearing at his hair.

It was natural for Uracan, who wanted to become the Demon King, to desire the Demon King’s eye, Satan’s Eye. However, something was clearly off. It was an obsession that could be described as bizarre.

Ruisha found this strange and asked Uracan.

“What drives you so far? Even without becoming the Demon King, you should have the power to live as you please.”

“Why I want to become the Demon King, you ask? If you really want to know that badly, I’ll tell you. What happened three hundred years ago!”

Volume 7 Chapter 55 Demon territory of the past

“Three hundred years ago, in the demon realm.”

“Quite the buzz, isn’t it? I wonder what’s so great about that Demon King.”

Uracan muttered as he gazed at the countless crowds before him.

At the age of twenty-three, he was still in the prime of youth, full of vigor and energy.

In fact, he had achieved excellent results in various fields, and rumors circulated everywhere about his future greatness. Uracan himself believed without a doubt that he was a chosen one, destined to become the Demon King and bear the future of the demon race.

That was, until this day.

“Testarossa-sama, is she here yet?”

“It should be soon, shouldn’t it? I’m really looking forward to it.”

“We’re lucky she’s visiting this town.”

“Indeed, she’s the one destined to become the Demon King, after all.”

The gathered crowd chatted in this manner. Every time Uracan heard words praising the young Demon King, he frowned and clicked his tongue.

At this time, Demon King Testarossa was sixteen years old, having held the title for two years.

Despite her young age, she boasted the highest approval ratings in history due to her natural intellect, magical prowess, kind personality, and exceptionally good looks.

The mere announcement of her arrival caused the masses to flock, creating crowds akin to a festival.

Seeing the joyful faces of the people eager to meet her, despite the tight squeeze, infuriated Uracan.

Normally, those feelings should be directed at himself. Uracan felt a loathing so strong that he wanted to kill the people who were making a ruckus right in front of him.

But if he let himself succumb to this momentary emotion, his path to success would be ruined. Uracan desperately restrained his fists shaking with anger and waited for the one he came for, Testarossa, to arrive.

“If they weren’t an impressive demon to talk about, challenging them to a duel here might be a good idea. Losing in front of such a crowd would force them to resign as the Demon King, after all.”

Two years ago, in the tournament that determined the Demon King, Testarossa won and became the Demon King.

However, Uracan did not participate in that tournament. He thought it was too early for him, still being in his growth period, so he chose to wait for the next tournament to prepare.

In that tournament, Testarossa, younger than him, emerged victorious. Of course, with his pride hurt, he felt strong anger and grew to strongly resent her, even though he had never met her.

But no matter how angry he got, he couldn’t take away the position of the Demon King at this point. So he tried to live by forgetting about Testarossa. However, fate would have it that she would visit the town he happened to reside in, and he planned to get a good look at her.

“Well, it should be about time she arrives…”

As Uracan murmured this, cheers erupted from the direction of the town’s entrance. It seemed she had arrived right on time.

“Scream! Testarossa-sama!!” “Look over here!!” “So beautiful!!”

The crowd noticed Testarossa’s arrival and sent out screams resembling ecstasy.

Feeling annoyed by the spectacle, Uracan pushed through the crowd to get closer and see her. What he saw there was a surprising sight.

“Idiot…!”

The first thing he saw was a gigantic quadruped creature. Its massive body was equipped with sharp claws and fangs like swords. Its black fur seemed as sharp as needles, giving off an impression of hardness.

But its most distinctive feature was the three heads growing from its body.

The creature’s name was Cerberus, a species known for its ferocity and high combat capabilities, to the extent of being considered unfriendly towards humans.

Testarossa was seated on the back of the creature, waving to the crowd.
