"Huh?" Kokmal looked at the abomination in front of him. "We will see how long you will stand!" He charged while shooting at him.

"[Chaintool: Shield!]" Xiodar formed a 2 meters width shield. Then he boosted his legs and charged at high speed. But Kokmal was already at the side. "When?!"

"Catch!" Shaman Demon lord threw something at enemy. Before Xiodar could react he was tied by line with two balls at the ends.

'How this thing is called?' Tied demon wondered. Also he couldn't control mana in his torso or arms. But the barrier around his hearth was fine. 'I won't crack it when he has that kind of weapon.' Xiodar decided. 'But how he avoids these attacks! It's like he can... Oh!'

Xiodar looked at the enemy. He had taken out something similar to bazooka. Rocket was launched from it. So it is bazooka! Xiodar charged and takes it on his chest.

*BOOOM*

According to his plan the rope was blasted off and he quickly recovered. "Now moment of truth! [Chaintool: Spikes]!" Spikes formed from the chains flew in the Kokmal's direction. They stopped right before hitting. Kokmal still stood in the place and was looking confused.

"I knew it!" Xiodar said excited. "That glass can predict my attacks!" He dismissed his chains.

"Hahaha!" Kokmal laughed. "It's only one of its powers!" He started tapping it with his finger. "Aiming assist! Analysis skill! Power meter! This is only small part!"

'Is he really that stupid to tell his capabilities?' Xiodar wondered.

"And that was even before it become my regalia! This is how my knowledge can..." He started a speech.

'Nope. He is just showing off.'

"...and by changing it into regalia, new possibilities have opened!" He spread his arms completely forgetting that he is fighting. "It can calculate my enemies moves and outcomes of my attacks using my informations about them!"

"Oh." Xiodar folded his arms. "So I have to use something more flashy." He smirked.

"What do you...?" Kokmal asked. "!" Then he pointed the gun in other direction. From Xiodar perspective he could see that Demon lord teleported to the place the bullet hit.

*BOOOM*

The white beam fall on the place Kokmal stood previously. "How did you calculated THAT!?" Xiodar shouted annoyed.

"Eh? You didn't listen? My regalia can also detect mana!" Kokmal answered.

"So how about this!" Xiodar summoned a lot of dark balls. Then launched them at once.

A lot of *BOOOMS* later.

‘How it didn’t hit me?’ Kokmal wondered when looking around. He stood in the same spot, analysing surroundings. A large cloud of dust covered everything. He aimed his revolver and shoot. The bullet hit Xiodar in his chest.

After the hit, a giant tornado started to form. “Fool! Sensing the enemy is the basic function!” Kokmal shouted as the vortex lifted bastard with too much mana and all dust around far away.

“*Cough*Still!*Cough* You are alone and my army will be there soon!” Xiodar said with confidence when he stood in the air.

“Hah? My main army will be there soon!” Shaman pointed at the horizon. With the mana sight Xiodar could see the troops. And there are 3 times bigger! “Goblins are worse than rabbits!” Kokmal added.

“Heh. They are still no problem!” Xiodar replied with the smile.

“HAHAHA! This time they have right equipment! Strong piercing power and anti-regeneration bullets!” Shaman demon lord almost burst in laughter.

“You still won’t kill me!”

“Ehh? Will you be enough for the army?”

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“…” Xiodar wondered. Why he didn’t think about this. “Actually, yes.” He stared running in the direction of the enemy army.

“Huh?” Kokmal was dumbstruck. “WHAT!?” He started to run after air walking Demon lord. He didn’t expect that he will go himself. “You won’t make it!” He shoot from both guns.

“Eh?” Xiodar felt the pain in his legs. Then he lose control of mana in them. He started to fall really fast. When his hands stared to get ready for the fall they were also shot. Now Xiodar couldn’t focus mana in his limbs.

*BOOOM*

Kokmal looked at the bloody body. “That hearth is guarded by the strongest barrier I have ever saw.” He started to kick the lying demon. “But! Without! Mana! You! Can’t! Even! Move!” Mana disturbing bullets were the most dangerous weapon against demons Kokmal possess. Sadly they were hard to make.

Xiodar didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t move but he won’t die. What he could do? If he makes cracks in the barrier he could lose his only advantage. But it will be endless battle. At last until army arrives. Will the power boost be enough? What if not? ‘I will die…’ And after the week he will be back. But what about his people?

”...Heh… It really doesn’t matter.” The only difference will be that he will at last try.

“What are muttWHAT?!” Kokmal jumped back. *BOOOM* In that moment Xiodar’s body exploded. “Suicide?” Shaman wondered. The only part left was a dark sphere. His hearth.

Then Xiodar’s body regenerated. “Now I will go serious!” Xiodar weakened the barrier. Dark flames coated his body.

Kokmal couldn’t believe what his regalia was telling him. His power skyrocketed! But barrier has been weakened! “Die!” He shoot anti-magic bullet. ‘Now or never!’

But it went like Xiodar was hoping. When under boost effect his senses also were stronger. Now bullet seems to him like thrown. ‘Bullet time!’ Xiodar avoided the bullet. “Not today!” He jumped at the enemy.

Kokmal increased his suit power and barely avoided the attack. ‘That guy is a true monster!’ Someone who can dodge the bullet is almost at the Heroes and Demon lords level, but to dodge the bullet with the support aim support of Kokmal’s regalia means that he could saw it and then dodge.

It was achievable for someone on Heroes and Demon lords level but with the help of support magic when he is speed oriented. Xiodar could do that by releasing the barrier. “Who the hell are you?!” Kokmal shouted.

“The new Demon lord!” Xiodar announced.

“!” Kokmal looked at him then grabbed his own head and shouted. “FFFFF**************CK!!!”

‘Isn’t it overreacting?’

“I lost the bet!”

“EHH?!” Xiodar shouted surprised.

“Ehhh… And Vpierdoll is the one who win.” Shaman is depressed.

“…Okay… You remember what we are doing?”

“Oh right.” He get himself together. “Now I will show you my strongest weapon!” He pulled of something like a syringe. It contained the red liquid. Then he injected it to himself. “This drug will enchant my senses and strength!”

“You call this your strongest weapon?”

“No! It only will make it even stronger!” Then he pulled something from the storage ring. Now he stood here in the bloody red armour. “It was made to be copy of the holy armour of the Steel Hero! You won’t be able to stand in five minutes!”

“Want to bet?”

“DIIIEEEEE!” Kokmal charged at Xiodar in fury.
