"Impressive speed prince, but I've seen better"
Sensō uttered out in a chuckle as he weaved a straight punch from Lance, swiftly pressing his arm vertically proportional to Lance outstretched arm and slithering his arm around Lance's arm before pulling him in. Sensō back was now pressed against Lance and soon after Sensō flipped Lance over, letting go of him in the process.
Lance had quickly caught himself after the sudden flip and had skid to a slight stop. Lance then increased his berserker magic by 10x. This vastly increased his physical condition to knight level strength, blurring from view and reappearing in front of Sensō, already in motion for his attack.
"…enough…"
Sensō uttered out as Lance fist closed in dangerously close. Seconds later, what could only be described as a repelling force of unparalleled nature in Lance terms, the prince was flung back at high speed.
"Allow me to show you what fighting an overwhelming opponent does to your mental state and how it affect your mana"
Sensō spoke as he blurred forward, leaping in one go and instantly appearing above Lance, moving at the same speed.
"First stage. Realization"
Sensō proclaimed as he flipped in rapid succession to gain an excessive amount of momentum and kinetic energy before delivering an axe kick that visibly sent a blast of wind into the ground after traveling through Lance body and exiting his back. This also resulted in Lance being rocketed towards the ground.
'I-it…hurts….h-his power is overwhelming…who is he..'
The prince thought in his mind as he neared the ground, slowly blacking out but then he felt someone grab his leg and before he knew it, he was being thrown across the field.
In his perspective, he only saw a blue lightning streaked blur before feeling a painful voltage spike through his body followed with the physical pain of a solid punch.
The prince then began to rapidly lose consciousness until he felt himself being pulled towards Sensō and afterwards he began to feel his entire energy being restored. Immediately he increased his overall condition by 100x, visibly causing the ground to crack under the pressure of his weight.
This made Sensō grin and immediately he lashed out with a high knee that connected to Lance chin and a violent push before performing a spinning top kick.
Surprisingly, Lance managed to recover after the push and block the top kick with his forearm, forcing him to skid to the side. Lance then followed up by shaping his hands to mimic an elephant.
"Charge!"
Lance spoke and at point blank range, a massive elephant made of pure mana had charged forward into existence and slammed into Sensō, launching him back through a few dozen trees.
Immediately afterwards a small sound of buzzing and slicing pierced the skies and moments after, the elephant was sliced vertically in half which forced it to disperse and shatter in mana shards.
The resulting damage had left a mile long slash through the ground, coming from Sensō general direction. This had severely shocked the king, the referee and the prince.
"Stage two. Fear"
Sensō spoke suddenly from behind Lance who had froze in sheer terror. Sensō then allowed a bit of his potent mana to slip and instantly, Lance had felt like he was standing in the presence of a supernatural force that could end him in the matter of seconds.
"My true purpose….is to climb to the skies and rule as the king of gods"
Sensō announced but all that was left was silence. Sensō sighed and slipped his hands in his pocket before suppressing his mana. Despite the quick use of his mana, the potency of it still left a slight spatial distortion, left to be studied.
After what felt like hours of political conversation, Sensō had finally been released to go home. He had been given his rank and status. From now on he would be known as commander and ranked as a Demon king. A status thought to be mythical among the mortal species.
This announcement was immediately made public and chaos ensured. Many questioned the wiseness of the king but experienced political players knew what the king was playing at. A powerful war tool for the kingdom.
"Wow. It hasn't even been 10 minutes and I already got challenged for my position 16 times."
Sensō spoke aloud as he stared down his opponent.The young boy already knew what would come with this status and power and prepared himself.
"That's interesting. A powerful healing magic and ice magic."
Sensō pointed out to which his opponent simply frowned, dashing forward at high speed. His opponent speed was fast enough to leave an after-image. This put Sensō on alert and knew he had to take this serious.
Upon closing in, his opponent who was known as 'CB' began enganing in CQC by delivering a tornado kick. The sheer strength behind this lethal kick had forced the wind to split, generating a whiplash that unbothered Sensō.
On the other hand, Sensō prepared for a counter-attack by swiftly decreasing his weight via gravity magic. This allowed him to swiftly lean back and duck from the kick, exposing the interval between recovery. This was a test of speed.
Sensō swiftly turnt his waist in a motion similar to throwing a hook. Utilizing gravity magic, Sensō generated a force proportional to CB which violently slammed into the man, forcing him to be thrown to the side with a blood thirsty grin on his face.
CB slammed into the wall but moments before impact he rapidly repaired his body via an advanced healing spell. With a flick of his wrist, CB had generated a fierce blast of ice that nearly coated the entire field.
Grinning to himself, CB picked himself up in pride but that soon left his face and a pale look of realization adorned as he came face to face with Sensō.
"W-what have I done…"
CB uttered and moments later he was slammed through dozens of trees. Before he could recover, he was struck in his side which launched him away through more trees. CB had came to the realization that he had awakened a true demon king.
"Allow me to show you the difference between us…I hope you have the will to withstand this"
Sensō spoke aloud, enhancing his voice with mana which gave it a more demonic sound that shook the body of many who was witnessing the battle.

"Bye mom! I'm off to the academy!"
A young boy spoke out as he left the front door. This boy adorned hair as white as an angel's feather. His eyes were a pale blue and he wore a robe containing polar bear fur. This boy was none other than Amiel Ruzo, a famous character among the Ruzo clan who dominated in the field of magic theory.
'what the hell is this feeling?!'
Amiel stuttered in his mind. The moment he had stepped foot outside, he felt a wave of mana mixed with horrific evil & destruction which made him freeze on the spot.
Quickly regaining himself as the pressure died down a bit, he noticed it came from near the academy and immediately he thought it was a city level threat monster.
"Speed spell: Flashstep x10"
The boy uttered out as he blurred from view, only leaving behind a small trail of dust that blew away in the wind, leaving no trace of his existence in the area. Moments later, he reappeared halfway to the academy, swiftly activating the spell again to cross the distance.
Meanwhile, Sensō was ruthlessly beating CB who felt powerless to do anything. This made Sensō smirk devilishly.
"You were the one that challenged me. You underestimated my power and now look at you…beneath me. I hold title of demon king and until I ascend higher…no one will beat me"
Sensō proclaimed loudly which made many gasp and some protest. Sensō ignored their words, seeing them as nothing more than insects controlled by the higher ups. He was here to shatter that system and become the king of gods.
"That's impossible. You've reached demon king status but you'll have to face a total different power. Celestial power "
CB croaked out as he trembled, struggling to lift himself up but seconds later his wounds were healed and he was restored back to his original health.
"I'll be fine. Anyways, Im guessing that your healing magic stems from your bio-field right?. If that's the case, you've already lost"
Sensō barked out in a laugh as he snapped his finger. In seconds, CB felt his world shift upside but what surprised him the most was the he could see his body and Sensō still laughing in the background. His hearing numbed and he stared dazedly into the sky as his body fell to one knee though refusing to give up.
'Wow…just my luck. I did underestimate this kid and turns out he's a fucking maniac. Well, I lived a good life at least-'
CB began chatting in his mind as he faded into nothingness but soon his vision was repaired and he found himself staring at Sensō once again.
"See. Just like that I killed you. You're lucky I felt generous in under those 5 seconds"
Sensō said as he slid his hands into his pockets.
'I've shouldn't have been worried after all. He was pretty weak.'
Sensō said in his mind as he turned his back towards CB and once he did, he was hit with a devastating wave of ice that swept him across the field and entrapped him in a massive crystal of ice.
'Damn. Highly inconvenient and it's cold'
Sensō muttered in his mind as he began rapidly heating the mana particles within the ice, forcing it to start melting at a rapid pace. Soon, Sensō was more free to move and with a snap of his finger the massive ice crystal was sliced in half 100 times.
With a graceful landing, Sensō cleared the icy mist and crossed his arms. He was disappointed in the low tactic but had to admit, he would've done the same.
"I'll make this hurt less. Let this be the scar that showed you survived against a demon king."
Sensō spoke and with another snap of his finger, CB right arm was cleanly sliced off. CB immediately tried to heal the wound but to no avail. He stared silently at his arm and vowed revenge against Sensō.
"Leave before I take off more than your arm"
Sensō said to which CB complied and walked away. Sensō then glanced at the crowd and smirked.
"From now on…you will worship me as the demon king!"
Sensō proclaimed proudly as many kneeled before him. This made him feel a sense of accomplishment but soon he felt a mighty presence…the presence of a king.
