Chapter 22: I'm the Devil King on Earth!
He was a fairly young boy, only fifteen or sixteen years old from the outer appearance. He wore a complicated and gorgeous robe that seemed to not affect his actions.
His beautiful, neutral face made it is difficult for people to perceive his gender, though his voice was that of a male.
His double pupiled eyes exuded a cold, bone chilling light, which was in sharp contrast with the gentle smile at the corners of his mouth.
Like a man, like a woman, like a child, like an adult, but still like a elderly, just the conflicting personalities mixed together made people doubt their judgement about his age.
This temperament was not brought by becoming Aleister's son, or becoming a Campione but was the person named 'Roy Crowley's own temperament.
Although it was the first time they saw him, everyone recognized him at the first instance.
The Seventh Campione, the one who beheaded the Heretic God, Archangel Michael, the existence at the apex of the world— Roy Crowley!
"King…"
The Commander-in-Chief of the 'Capital of Lilies', The Purple Knight's face turned pale, his forehead was unconsciously shedding cold sweat, his dry lips opened slightly, his body was trembling in trepidation.
Unlike the arrogance he possessed when he was rebuking Erica, at this time he was shaking in fright.
Roy didn't use his power, but the magical energy that could be described as 'gargantuan', usurped by gods was enough to make these knights and mages tremble.
The mere existence of this profound and huge magical energy is enough to offset the magic used by most magic users!
Even if they can overcome this pressure, and cast their magic, the magic resistance possessed by Campione that resist most spells, will pull them into greater despair.
Young mages and knights were more or less scared. Only the Chiefs of mage associations such as 'Olden Dame', 'Bronze Black Cross', 'Female Wolf' were still able to maintain a calm expression due to their life experiences.
However, even so, the Commander in Chief of the 'Copper Black Cross', Italy's strongest knight, Paolo Brandelli who has always been known for his elegant and easy-going nature, his calm expression gradually receded and became solemn.
Although the commanders of these major mage associations may not have witnessed the Heretic Gods with their own eyes in their lives.
They more or less have had contacts with a Campione, compared to the Heretic Gods, whose way of thinking is very different from that of human beings, Campione are still within the scope of 'human' nature.
Even if they are as powerful as Heretic Gods, they still have the possibility of communication.
Therefore, knowing the individual's character, how to avoid the target's bottom line because of ignorance, and then inviting disaster, is the basic strategy to face the 'devil king on earth'.
Among the godslayers in the present time, the one that makes people feel the most difficult to deal with are the 'etiquette observant' King of the ancient eastern kingdom, and the other is the King of Eastern Europe region, the 'cruel and ruthless' Marquis Voban.
Marquis Voban's cruel and unforgiving nature can still be understood. But 'The Ruler of the Martial Realm', Luo Hao is totally unpredictable.
Quoting Black Prince Alec words: "Possessing the full set of the five Confucian virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, knowledge and integrity, she is a great figure who carries herself with royal splendor."
"However, she believes her valor to be the greatest in the world, and compared to the lives of all the humans, she places greater value on herself than anyone else on the Earth."
"Simply put, she has delusions on the level of middle school students."
Although the Italian 'Seven Sisters' mage alliance has not come into contact with the New King, Roy Crowley.
It is known from the limited information that the new king is actually very similar in character to both Marquis of Voban and Luo Hao, he possesses some similarities, same to the two most troublesome godslayers.
He is a very self-conscious person. This personality is also the most difficult for subordinates to deal with.
"Everyone, why don't you speak?"
Roy walked across the corridor leading to the round table in a quiet and strange atmosphere, pulled down the last chair under everyone's gaze, and lightly perched on it.
His left hand was enveloping his cheek, his eyes scanned all the heads of the mage associations present.
His eyes paused for a second on Erica Brandelli and Liliana Kranjcar that had their own unique styles, then he resumed his inspection of the entire venue.
Although Roy doesn't remember the plot of the Campione clearly, he still knows the importance of these two girls in front of him in the original plot.
It should be said that these two girls are the 'Female Protagonists' of this world. Whether it is Erica or Liliana, they indeed have amazing talent and beauty, not less to Lola and Pandora.
In this repressive and silent atmosphere, Roy waited for a while, and gave people enough pressure before speaking.
"...You all are uncertain to choose between me and Salvatore Doni. It's understandable, anyway, Salvatore, no..."
"Doni is my compatriot and senior, although he become a godslayer only more than two years earlier."
"...He is the leader of the South European Magic region. Although you are not loyal to him, you are nominally his subordinates."
"It's human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, people will actively choose the stronger to gain inner assurance. I agree with this one point, because this is a manifestation of human wisdom."
"You will be entangled, not sure who is stronger between me and Doni. Who exactly is stronger, right? Whether or not be retaliated by the another if you choose other? "
"Moreover, if you choose to take orders from me and come under my name, there may be rumors of 'betrayal', which is bad for your reputation. This is all human nature."
Seeing that this new king seemed to be less arbitrary than mentioned in the information, the expression of the heads of mage associations lightened.
The new king looks more understanding than any other Campione.
He would actually think in another perspective, looking at the problem from the perspective of the weak, many people were relieved and felt that the new king was someone whom they can communicate with.
Bronze Black Cross's Commander Diana Milito straightened her back, and said respectfully:
"...Thank you, 'King' for your understanding us, we..."
"Shut, Up!"
Without waiting for Dianna Milito to speak, Roy interrupted her with a low groan, which caused her to hold back the rest of her words in her mouth.
"My words are not finished yet. It is not your turn to interject, madam!"
"I remember that my orders were for you and these people to come to the Holy See to meet me, but you all did not rushed to see me when you came to Rome!"
"Instead, you all are present in this so-called meeting, does this means your intentions are to violate my order? Or, you don't even care about my command?"
Roy sneered. Although he doesn't remembers the original plot clearly, he still recalls that the protagonist, Godou Kusanagi in the original story was used by these people as a godslayer!
These people have no awe or respect that a Campione deserves! All because this kusanagi was not tough and domineering.
Maybe, his IQ fell to the bottom at that time and at the start, unknown to him, was manipulated like a puppet.
He even stupidly cooperated to conduct a so-called 'power test' on the grounds to measure his power as well as to certain that he is a Campione.This is simply an insult to a Campione!
From when did Campiones started to prove their powers to others?! Since the godslayer is the 'devil king on earth', it is natural to resolve any matter by the means of a devil.
In his opinion, the only people who truly live up to the name of the 'Devil King on Earth' are Marquis Voban and Lord Luo Hao, these two ancient godslayer will pull out the tongue of the person who dared to even show a trace of disrespect.
The mysterious Madame Aisha is also one of the qualified godslayers. She is also a 'devil king on earth' who completely does what is 'good' in her definition, regardless of whether others thinks it is good or evil.
As for the godslayers born in the new era, they were all unqualified in Roy's view.
They all have a certain bare point that can be easily exploited by others. In derogatory terms, one is a scary cat, another is hand-led idiot who is a gone case, and the last one is a red headed girl with, rather bemusingly, sacrificing heroic spirit.
As a scaredy cat, dolt or hero, respectively, they are carrying themselves as the ideal but as a Campione, they are just tarnishing the reputation as such.
The sudden change of Roy's temperament caused all the mages present to withdraw their previous thoughts.
A Campione is a Campione, the new king is as moody as it is written in the information.
They were in the process of understanding each other's difficulties, what anamiable atmosphere!
But, suddenly, the next moment, there is a question of life and death! This too much simulation for their 'weak' heart!
"Are you doubting my strength? Or doubting my identity as a Campione? Want me to do a test to prove my identity? "
"Listen, I am not interested in performing for you like a circus monkey. So, I will give you a direct taste of my power, and I'm sure, it will definitely satisfy you."
Roy suddenly turned his gaze towards Diana Milito, the head of Bronze Black Cross and activated his second Divine Authority!
This is Roy's naked provocation!
