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

Volume 7 Chapter 64 Intruder

“Ugh, cough…”

Uracan, who had crashed to the ground, tried to move while wearing an agonized expression.

However, having been hit by the magical brilliance cannon, Magi Blast, most of Uracan’s magical power had been almost completely broken down, leaving him in a state of magical deficiency.

Magic was an essential force for sustaining life. No matter how sturdy a demon’s body may be, once their internal magic is depleted, they become as incapacitated as a human.

Moreover, Uracan had been hit by Ruisha’s attacks multiple times, leaving his body in tatters. On top of that, perhaps due to the depletion of his magic, his physical form had reverted to that of a typical demon.

No matter how hard he tried from this point on, a comeback seemed impossible.

Nevertheless, Uracan desperately crawled, attempting to escape from Ruisha.

“Being able to move so much without magic is impressive, but I can’t let you escape.”

Saying this, Ruisha tried to approach Uracan, who was crawling on the ground a short distance away. But in that moment, a person descended with incredible speed from above, landing between Ruisha and Uracan.

Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, Ruisha paused and assumed a fighting stance. He was already exhausted, but he couldn’t let Uracan escape at this point. Ruisha carefully observed the person who had appeared.

The person could be described in one word as having an egg-shaped body with limbs.

Adorned in a black suit that fit their body shape perfectly, they carried a long black staff in their hand. Their face was adorned with round glasses and a long, narrow silk hat. Their nose was long like that of a demon, and their ears were pointed.

Clearly, not of human appearance. Ruisha speculated that this person was a demon or a subspecies closely resembling one.

“Who are you exactly? If you claim to be an ally of the person lying there… I won’t show mercy.”

Saying this, Ruisha assumed a fighting stance, but deep down, he was feeling quite anxious.

The reason was that he sensed an incredible amount of magic power from the mysterious figure before him. Not at the level of Testarossa, but close enough to be mentioned in the same breath. The magic power was far stronger than Uracan’s. Even in his best shape, Ruisha wasn’t sure if he could win against this opponent. However, retreating at this point would mean letting Uracan escape, and that was something he couldn’t allow.

So, Ruisha desperately put on a brave front. The mysterious figure in front of him removed the silk hat and politely bowed before speaking.

“I apologize for the sudden intrusion. I am the Prime Minister of the Demon Kingdom, ‘Portoferino Cabriole.’ Please forgive the sudden appearance.”

As Portoferino introduced himself, Iris, who had been standing at a distance, hurriedly ran to Ruisha’s side. She kneeled in front of Portoferino and spoke, her body trembling.

“I-It’s been a while, Lord Portoferino.”

Upon seeing Iris, Portoferino showed a brief moment of contemplation, then seemingly recalled her and lightly clapped his hands.

“Ah, I remember now. You’re the daughter from Vanhail’s place. Your name was Iris, right? You’ve grown since then, so I didn’t recognize you.”

“I-I’m honored you remember.”

Iris’s voice trembled slightly as she replied.

It was rare for her to show such fear, being typically strong-willed. Ruisha raised his assessment of the danger posed by the figure before them.

“Portoferino-san. The person lying beside you has harmed someone dear to me and further tried to destroy this country. Regardless of whatever reasons you may have… if you intend to protect that person, I won’t show mercy.”

“Hmm…”

After hearing Ruisha’s words, Portoferino rested his hand on his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, then shifted his gaze to Uracan rolling on the ground.

Uracan, with a desperate expression, pleaded to Portoferino, “H-Help me…”

Seeing Uracan’s pitiful state, Portoferino let out a sigh, then drove the staff he held deep into Hurricane’s back, mercilessly crushing his spine.

“Aaah!!”

In the overwhelming shock, Uracan lost consciousness without being able to utter a word.

Confirming this, Portoferino calmly approached Ruisha and knelt at his feet.

“It’s an honor to meet you, the new Demon King. I am Portoferino, the Prime Minister of the Demon Kingdom, and I offer you absolute loyalty.”

“…………Huh?”

In the face of this sudden turn of events, Ruisha could only utter a stunned word.

Volume 7 Chapter 65 Young

“Um… What do you mean?”

Ruisha naturally felt bewildered by Portoferino’s sudden declaration of submission.

Noticing his confusion, Portoferino stood up and began to explain to Ruisha.

“Upon receiving a report that Uracan had crossed the border, I promptly initiated action. However, after Uracan and his group crossed the border, nobody knew where they headed. So, I used my abilities to search for Uracan.”

Saying this, Portoferino pointed to the eyes beneath his round glasses. Similar to Ruisha and Iris, the pupils of his eyes were marked with a hexagram pattern.

“This is called the ‘Far-seeing Magic Eye.’ As the name suggests, this magic eye can not only perceive the flow of magic but also see distant landscapes.”

There were various types of magic eyes. Ruisha had learned this from Testarossa.

Seeing the flow of magic was the basic ability of a magic eye, and there were many magic eyes that possessed different abilities alongside this fundamental skill.

However, only highly skilled individuals or rare species could wield these abilities.

“With this magic eye, I found Uracan and have been monitoring him all along, coming this far. Naturally, I’ve witnessed the entire battle between you and Uracan.”

“I-I see…”

“Yes, and just before you unleashed the magical brilliance cannon, Magi Blast, I had already arrived here and had the privilege of discreetly observing the battle. Therefore, your words about becoming the ‘new Demon King’ reached my ears quite clearly.”

Saying this, Portoferino pretended to wipe his eyes dramatically with a handkerchief.

It seemed he was quite moved by Ruisha’s words.

“My Magic Eye clearly sees the flow of Testarossa-sama’s magic within you. Hence, I understand that there are no lies in your words.”

Saying this, Portoferino firmly grasped Ruisha’s arm with his long arm and, wearing an intimidating smile, spoke thus:

“Now that the intruders are gone, let us proceed to the Demon Kingdom. The citizens of our Demon Kingdom will greatly rejoice at the birth of the new Demon King.”

“Uh, well, but…”

In truth, Ruisha had no intention of becoming the head of the Demon Kingdom. He tried to stop Portoferino’s fantasies, but he was completely lost in his own imagination, and his voice didn’t reach him.

“I can see it. You, leading the citizens, guiding the Demon Kingdom to prosperity! Come, my young one, let us triumphantly march to the Demon Kingdom together!”

Completely caught up in his own thoughts, Portoferino referred to Ruisha as ‘my young one.’

Although he felt sorry for him, Ruisha, who had things he needed to attend to first, hesitantly proposed to Portoferino.

“Um… may I first attend to the injured? Those who were harmed, Sharo and Iris, as well as the comrades of Iris who were injured.”

Ruisha gestured towards Sharo and Iris, and Iris’s injured comrades, as he made his request.
