Arthur's POV:
* Scree..ech *
" This skill is kinda broken "
It's quite satisfying to see a one shot skill this effective. This kinda reminds me of an RPG game I used to play back in my previous world. Some skills like this one were quite amusing to the eye.
" Hmm? What was that? "
Although I might not have strong perception, but with the vampire trait fully activated, I can honestly say that my senses and perception could be compared to that of a mage.
" It was faint, but that was definitely a strong presence "
Could it be the dungeon boss? I need to confirm whether it was that same demon mage or not...
" Well there's no other way but to find out myself "

Zen's POV:
I'm a Sylvicous...
" Kekekeke...where was that pride? show me your courage! Kyahahah! "
Sorry father.... I didn't live up to your expectations... after mother's sacrifice and your advice and help... I still failed you both...
" K-kill me... y-you bas-?!
* -Kick *
" Cough!! Y-
" -Kill you? Why would I do that... That would be boring... "
boring?
" Human... there's nothing more thrilling than seeing those prideful weaklings realize what they are "
" ... "
" I'm stronger.... that's why I can have this fun! I can feel your little sense of pride.... Killing you would be just like killing an ant.... no...no.... I want to break your pride..... I want to see you begging on your knees..... I want to break your little ego.... "
" ...N-no "
W-why.... why is he so happy to see me suffering? N-no!! I can't fall in his trap! I'm Zen Sylvico-
" -well your pride seems to be quite strong in enduring pain so far....but will you still endure this? "
[ Puppetry Art: Cunning wires ]
" It has been a long time since I used this type of magic. Now we can start having the real fun! Hmm? what should I do first? "
?? What is going on? Why is my body moving on its own?
" kneel "
" ?!!!! "
No!!! Why?! Why am I kneeling to this demon?!!!!!
" Well you seemed to hate the idea of submitting to me... let's strip you from your dignity first... "
Move!! Urghhh!!!
" What a good human! Now you understand the situation! Don't worry!! I will make you my personal servant! What an honor! Be happy human! you have the chance to serve me! "
Me?! A servant to demons...like that demon worshipper?! NEVER!!!
You bastard!! I will never succumb to a demon!!
"??"
I-I can't speak!?
" Ohh? Don't get flustered now just yet... we will have much more fun together! Kekeke! Next! "

' Zen, you are going to become the pride of our family. Raise your head '
Pride?
' Young master!! You are genius among geniuses!! What an honor to be serving you in person! "
Genius?
' Hohoho? I taught many kids but you are the smartest I have ever seen, be proud son of the Sylvicous.'
Smart?
I-I'm just pathetic.....
" Kyehehehhe! I like those tears! Ohh human see? This is what you are.... a weak ant.. pfttt..hahahaha!! Where is your pride now? Come on? Why are you still prostrating!! Pftthahahaha "
H-How?...how am I a noble and on this pathetic display? Wasn't I supposed to be the genius?
" Weeellll I think we should rap this up by killing you...after all, there are other intruders to play with "
I want to die....
" Good bye human I enj-
" -Hoo? It's the same demon mage "
""?!!!""
W-who... a student? no... don't come any closer.... I don't want anyone to see me like this..
" a human? Another toy? "
Another student? Run away you idiot! Go!
* Step *
" Humans...humans....humans.....why is every human here this dumb? "
* Step *
" Why aren't you scared? What is wrong with your stupid relaxed face? Tsk... do I look like an easy prey? Why is every human this blinded? "
" You are even more ridiculous than in the novel. Can't you just shut up? "
Run away... there is no way you can fight him alone this demon is too strong....
" I see now... that's why the presence was faint... did you apply your magic to hide this place? "
" ..... "
But why? such confidence... how is he not s-scared? No who is he?
" a D rank and you have this arrogance? Sighe... you humans are quite the ignorant fools... let's put you first in your place right beside that servant "
[ Puppetry Arts: Cunning wires ]
I-it's that the same skill?! ...that kid is done for....
* Vwaaam *
" ??? "
What was that?
" Listen up demon, I need your help with something..... "
" What was that just now? How can you a D ranker defend against my magic!! "
" As I thought you won't listen to me anyway.... so I guess I need to give you some beating "
Did he really defend against it? H-how? But it's useless...if he is indeed a D rank then he will never break through that damn barrier....
" You know human? The difference between me and you ? I'm stronger "
" Oh yeah? "
* Dash! *
" It is all useless human, none of your hits will reach m-
* PUNCH *

" -Eh? "
