Kid and Apocalypse stood facing each other, far away from Albero and his group.
Apocalypse, with his sword drawn, faced Kid, who was holding his hat with his right hand and glaring intensely at Apocalypse. Apparently displeased by this, Apocalypse said to Kid,
ㅤ
“Stop with that look. It’s nauseating.”
“Ha. . . . . .Pathetic. Sorry for the surprise, but there’s no way you’re winning this. If you surrender and whimper like a dog, maybe I’ll spare you. What’ll it be?”
ㅤ
Kid was in high spirits.
He mocked his opponent to the fullest. However, he wasn’t underestimating him. Verbal tactics were also a part of Kid’s strategy.
Apocalypse silently raised his sword, pointing it at Kid.
ㅤ
“『Treasured Sword』.”
“━━What?!”
ㅤ
Suddenly, numerous golden treasured swords appeared.
They floated in the air, all aiming at Kid.
Unbelievable━━that’s what Kid thought as he aimed his 『Headsman』 with his left hand.
ㅤ
“Go.”
【Machine gun】───『Rampage』.”
ㅤ
Kid’s left hand transformed into a machine gun, shattering the incoming treasured swords.
The battle had begun.
Kid transformed his left hand into a sniper rifle and, while moving at high speed, aimed at Apocalypse.
ㅤ
【Sniper Rifle】━━『Focused Shot』.”
ㅤ
Leaping into the air and taking aim, he fired a jade-colored bullet.
His target was the head. Protected by a sturdy helmet, but there’s nothing Kid’s 『Penetration』 can’t pierce.
He believed he had won.
But then, Kid heard a sound.
ㅤ
“━━Sniff, sniff.”
ㅤ
Apocalypse sniffed the air.
Then, with a slight movement of his neck, he dodged the bullet.
Furthermore, he pointed his right hand at Kid. . . . . .and from it, 『flies』 emerged.
ㅤ
“Wha, what?!”
“Devour him.”
ㅤ
Thousands of flies were present.
Kid frantically unleashed his 『Machine Gun』, shooting down the flies.
However, he couldn’t shoot them all down. The flies attacked Kid.
ㅤ
“Damn. . . . . .so annoying!!”
ㅤ
As he grappled with the flies, Apocalypse took a deep breath.
And then, with all his might, he exhaled.
It wasn’t just breath. It was a blast of flames.
ㅤ
“What the, ahhhhh!!”
“You are weak.”
“Huh?!”
ㅤ
In a blink of an eye, he was approached.
Kid couldn’t move. To be precise, his movements were slowed.
It felt as if he was moving underwater. But for Apocalypse, it was normal speed.
Apocalypse swung his sword.
ㅤ
“Ah━━aah━━?!”
ㅤ
Slashed across his body, Kid was sent flying.
The cut ran from his shoulder to his side. Fortunately, thanks to his last-minute dodge, the wound was shallow.
Holding the wound, Kid had a realization.
ㅤ
“Your power. . . . . .it’s that of the demons.”
ㅤ
Lowering his sword, Apocalypse nodded in agreement.
ㅤ
“Correct. My power is 『The Seven Deadly Sins』. I can use the abilities of 『Gluttony Demon Abel』, 『Pride Demon Hubris』, 『Lust Demon Florentia』, 『Envy Demon Bahamut, and likewise Leivinia』, 『Sloth Demon Midgardsorm, and likewise Nisrok』, 『Greed Demon Beelzebub』, and 『Wrath Demon Ogre』.”
“. . . . . .Tch.”
ㅤ
In other words, it’s a demon that harbors nine abilities.
Undoubtedly the strongest. Kid spat out blood and held onto his hat.
ㅤ
“I am the mightiest. The pinnacle of demons. My name is the demon of 『Sin』, Apocalypse. Human, I’ll spare you this one time. If you run now, your life will be extended just a bit.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Kid shrugged nonchalantly.
Then, he took a Skittle from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, and sprayed it like mist towards the wound.
Moreover, he drank the contents. . . . . .Scotch, from the Skittle.
ㅤ
“Ouch. . . . . .that hurts. Well, let’s consider this a retribution for being underestimated.”
“What are you drinking?”
“Liquor. Well, it’s like my fuel.”
“Drinking during a battle? How inappropriate.”
“Yeah. It’s pretty good though.”
ㅤ
Kid put the Skittle back in his pocket and took out a smoking pipe.
He lit the tobacco and puffed out smoke.
ㅤ
“Phew. . . . . .Delicious.”
“Are you taking this fight lightly?”
“Idiot. All that matters in a fight is a clear winner and loser. The process until then is crap. In other words, it ends when either you or I die.”
“Ever since I was born and served my master, I’ve known that battles are sacred. Someone like you, who defiles it. . . . . .humans indeed need to be eradicated.”
“Try me. Well, you’ll be the one dying though.”
ㅤ
Kid, still holding his smoking pipe, pointed his left hand.
ㅤ
“Now, I’ve figured out your hand. In other words. . . . . .a mere collection of small fries. Once unveiled, they’re not that impressive.”
“Enough. Disappear.”
ㅤ
The treasured sword floated again.
Kid, still puffing on his smoking pipe, grinned wickedly.
