Chapter 3: Champion of Light versus Demon Lord

The fight between Alan the Champion of Light and Demon Lord Beelzebub had finally begun.

Alan braced his sword and ran straight at Beelzebub. His footwork was polished to such an extreme level that it almost looked like gravity had no effect on him as he sped up. Carried forward by his momentum, he struck at Beelzebub, only for the demon lord to easily parry the sword with his own.

“Ha ha! Another great strike that I could feel to my heart, Champion! But that strike wouldn’t have hurt me even if I failed to defend myself,” Beelzebub said.

“I guess that’s true,” Alan replied.

Instead of fighting against the force of being knocked away, he used it to put some distance between them and did one full rotation in the air to straighten his stance. When he observed Beelzebub, he saw vast amounts of dense mana overflowing from the demon lord’s body. The magical protection offered by the mana he subconsciously emanated made him almost impervious to ordinary physical attacks. Physical strength an order of magnitude higher than Dora’s would be necessary to break through.

“Then how about this?!”

Alan activated the mana circuits he’d developed inside his own body. Those circuits could only be activated when he felt the mana of a demon standing before him. The last time he’d used them—in his fight against the three former Black Stars—it had taken him some time to get the rusty pathways working after decades of unuse. But this time, they’d immediately reacted to the impressive mass of the demon lord’s mana. Soon enough, a dazzling light shone from every part of Alan’s body.

“Yes, that’s it. Bring out your mana of light! That’s what I’ve wanted to fight all this time!” Beelzebub cried with delight.

Alan’s mana of light was an element specialized against demons. Its power was many times more effective against them than other targets, and it erased their mana on contact. Yet, Beelzebub rejoiced to face this destructive light that could so easily turn his kind to ash.

Alan swung his sword just as he had before, but this time, it was clad in brilliant, blinding mana. Beelzebub responded by covering his sword in his own dense pitch-black mana and intercepted the blow. Light and darkness clashed. Beelzebub’s mana was powerful enough to stand against the mana of light head-on, despite its inherent disadvantage. The two kinds of mana scattered into the surroundings, causing untold destruction incomparable to the wreckage before.

Beelzebub burst into laughter. “Oh, how glad I am that we changed location. I have to defeat you, the man who once killed me, when you’re at full strength!”

He expelled a tremendous amount of mana from his entire body, making his already-incredible mana from earlier feel like he’d just been messing around. His presence alone warped and twisted the world around him. Alan responded in kind by drawing out more of his mana of light. Now, it was clear that they were both serious.

“Let us begin, Champion! I
