Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: An Arrival

******************

[Reinhardt: Hmpf!]

Reinhardt is the second champion of humanity. He is the last surviving knight from the kingdom of Azlaria, which was overthrown and then forcibly taken over by the demonic race a year ago.

As a knight with a very obedient nature to his king, Reinhardt has never once chosen to give up, even though his kingdom has been overthrown for a very long time. This is because, as a champion of humanity, he still has a very important task ahead of him: restoring the glory of the kingdom Azlaria by freeing it from the control of the demon race and installing her little princess as the new queen.

As a knight, his little princess means the world to him right now. He must take care of her health, help her deal with day-to-day issues like eating and drinking, and shield her from humans or demons who would harm her.

and now, even if it means going against everyone, he will stop at nothing to make his little princess smile again.

[Demon Wizard: Charge!]

[Demon Army:Rahhhhh!!!!]

At that moment all the nearby demon races in the watchtower area began charging Reinhardt at the same time with a single command, making sure Reinhardt would be completely surrounded and unable to escape or mount a meaningful defense.

"But woe to all those lowly demonic races,"

[Reinhardt: You worthless scum, get out of my way!]

Zap! Zap! Zap!

All the lesser demonic races were instantly destroyed by Reinhardt, whose movements moved at the speed of lightning, leaving no time for any of the demonic races to prepare an attack against him.

Crackle! Crackle!

[Demon Wizard: What!???]

The demon grand wizard, who was witnessing all of this, became extremely tense as each member of the demon race had their heads severed and blood spurting out of their veins. He knew he would never be able to match Reinhardt's extraordinary speed when it came to becoming a wizard; the only way he could still put up a fair fight would be to use his ultimate card to take on Reinhardt.

[Demon Wizard: Shit, when the time comes, I will use this to make sure I survive! summoning magic!]

Whoosh!

[Reinhardt: Hmmm? a summoning magic?]

[Demon Wizard: Super demon! Torax, come forth!]

[Torax: Kaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!]

The demon grand wizard summoned the Super demon race, a demon race that was more powerful than the regular demon race, with the aid of mana power and powerful summoning magic.

A super demon creature from the demon world named Torax appeared to help the demon grand wizard, who possesses the ability to open a portal connecting to the demon world itself.

Although Torax is a super demon race from the world of demons and the product of scientific experiments conducted within the demon race, it is still regarded as being extremely savage and lacking in common sense, so its summoner must directly control it with a force strong enough to prevent it from choosing to attack its master.

With a crocodile-like head, a large demonic minotaur-race body, and phantom-race legs, Torax was seen at that moment prepared to face Reinhardt head-on. Both sides would find the fight to be a bit too drawn out, thanks to the help of the demon grand wizard, his master who is in charge of Torax mind as his beast.

[Torax: Kaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!]

Whoosh!!!! Shhhhh!!!!

[Reinhardt: Huppp!!]

Zap!

With a wide open mouth, Torax shot off a ball of fire so large that it almost burned the whole area surrounding the watchtower. However, Reinhardt instantly erased any trace of himself, rendering the demon grand wizard unable to see him with the naked eye. This allowed him to evade the attack.

[Demon Wizard: Where has he vanished to?]

[Reinhardt: hey there, friend]

[Demon Wizard: What! This is not possible!]

The demon grand wizard felt chilly and wanted to set up a magic barrier to protect his body, but the spell took too long for him to cast, and as a result, his body and the watchtower he used as a shield for his frail body were torn apart. He looked up at that moment, wondering who was above him, but it was too late before he recognized who it was.

Zap! Zap! Zap!

[Demon Wizard: Gaaaaahhhh!!!]

[Reinhardt: Indeed, this is the real deal.]

The watchtower, which the demon grand wizard was supposed to protect from the enemy, collapsed at that very moment, causing his body to crumble as well.

Crackle! Crackle!

[Reinhardt: even if a wizard is exceptionally skilled, he would still be at a disadvantage in a matchup with an assassin.]

[Torax:Woaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! Kaaaaaahhhhhh!!!]

[Reinhardt: Oh, I almost forgot about you. It appears that, following the death of your master, you suddenly lost control. good enough for me! ]

Zap! Zap!

[Torax: Keeeeeeeeeekkkkk!!!!!!]

[Reinhardt: Eeyaaappp!!!!]

Because of how fast Reinhardt's blows could reach Torax's body, even his own healing abilities were rendered useless, and in an instant, Torax lay dead from the repeated stabbings.

Booom!!

[Reinhardt: Phew, it appears that I was able to sneak up on and take control of the watchtower in the easternmost section of the castle. We should launch an assault right away. ]

[???: Are you a warrior who has been hailed as the chosen one or the lord savior?]

[Reinhardt: Wh-what?????]
