I Told You, I'm Not a Battle Maniac

One man and one demon came to a stop, both panting heavily and covered in wounds!

Yun Feiyang relied on his superior Magic Power, while Satan relied on his seasoned combat experience. The two were evenly matched!

"Kid, you're pretty good!"

"Of course I'm good. You're the one who's lousy. And you call yourself a Demon King!"

"Keep talking tough!"

Satan spread his arms, and massive amounts of darkness gathered around him, gradually forming a dark vortex that reached from heaven to earth.

"Using your ultimate move? You think you're the only one who has one?"

"God Slayer Secret Art: Tornado Hurricane!"

As Yun Feiyang spun through the air, all the nearby Wind Elements were drawn toward him, whirling at high speed around his body before ultimately forming a black tornado that connected heaven and earth!

"Let's decide this in one move!"

"Just what I was thinking!"

The vortex and tornado, like Natural Disasters, destroyed everything on the ground. Even the dark clouds were sucked in as they collided amid the changing colors of heaven and earth!

Sparks and lightning flashed wildly. The two continuously colliding attacks merged together before finally being destroyed in a violent explosion that shook heaven and earth!

Fierce winds howled as an elemental torrent swept in every direction. Two figures fell from a massive mushroom cloud and slammed weakly onto the ground!

"Ha... That was satisfying!"

"Though this body is frail beyond measure and cannot wield my true strength, it still allowed me to taste the passion of battle after so long!"

"Kid, I should thank you. I had a wonderful time!"

Satan could not even crawl to his feet. Lying there, he wore an utterly satisfied expression!

"If you're really grateful, go back to your Hell. I'm not a battle maniac. This is exhausting!"

Yun Feiyang was not doing much better either, grimacing in pain!

"That won't do. No matter what, I must settle victory and defeat with you!"

"Don't! Can't I just admit defeat? Hurry up and leave. If you die here, don't blame me. There are plenty of people in this world stronger than me!"

"It's only a mere soul incarnation. I don't care!"

With great effort, Satan finally sat up and shouted, "Fight! Let us fight!"

Yun Feiyang struggled to his feet as well and cursed, "Fight my ass! I told you, I'm not a battle maniac!"

You were the Lord of Hell, a generation's Demon King. Why were you getting so fired up? Did you think you were Natsu?

Just then, footsteps sounded. The two turned to look and saw Mira running over, holding the Light Scepter Douglas had dropped.

"Oh? You've got help!"

Yun Feiyang panicked and roared, "Why did you come here? Get lost! Get out of here~~"

Mira ignored him, gritted her teeth, and charged at Satan!

"Damn it!"

Yun Feiyang struggled to stand and staggered toward them!

"Looks like you care about this woman a great deal!"

Yun Feiyang had no time for Satan's teasing. He ran while shouting, "You idiot, he's not someone you can handle! Stop!"

Mira reached Satan's back. Though she was terrified, she still gathered her courage and raised the Scepter!

"Brave little girl, come on. Aim for my heart. You might just be able to kill me."

"You think I don't dare?"

"Die!"

Mira gritted her teeth and thrust down!

But Satan vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already before the anxious Yun Feiyang, one hand pressed against his chest while the other gathered energy.

"Kid, you lost!"

"Taste the power of sin and darkness!"

He slammed his palm into Yun Feiyang's chest. Amid flashing lightning, Yun Feiyang shot through the air and crashed into a distant mountainside!

The mountain exploded, and the ground was smashed into a huge crater!

Mira, still holding her stabbing posture, froze. "Why did this happen?!"

"Hm?"

"Little girl, I've only just noticed... you're quite special!"

Satan turned and walked toward Mira!

"Y-you... what are you trying to do?"

Mira retreated again and again in fright!

"Asshole, how are you? Don't scare me!"

"Don't die!"

With a rumble, rocks exploded apart, and Yun Feiyang floated out of the crater!

"You're so noisy. Even if you died, I wouldn't!"

He looked even more bedraggled now, utterly miserable!

"You're truly tenacious! Is it because of God Slayer Magic?"

Yun Feiyang landed on the ground and nearly failed to keep his footing.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said unhappily, "That almost hurt me to death!"

When he looked up, Mira was already in Satan's grasp.

"I told you that you'd only get in my way, yet you still ran over here to cause trouble!"

"I... I only wanted to help you!"

Mira lowered her head sadly. "I'm sorry!"

"Is sorry any use? What a stupid woman!"

Yun Feiyang sighed helplessly. The situation had become even more unfavorable for him!

"So you're planning to use her to threaten me? No way, right? You're a Demon King. Where's your dignity?"

"Huh? Kid, you know I'm a Demon King too. Despicable, shameless, and every other negative insult—those are what demons are. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to threaten you with a hostage?"

That actually seemed to make sense!

"No, no, no. Though I haven't known you for long, I can tell you're not that kind of person... demon!"

"Are you praising me?"

"Yes. Your battles should be honorable and fair!"

Satan laughed. "How rare. I never thought a demon's character would be acknowledged one day!"

"So can you let her go?"

"Unfortunately, no!"

"Why? Fine, fine, I'll go down to Hell with you. Is that enough?"

"No!"

Mira said urgently, "You can't die!"

"Shut up, you damn woman! You're nothing but trouble!"

"I..."

Satan chuckled. "Enough. You don't need to put on an act in front of me. Her soul is extremely pure, and I have great use for it!"

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

"That's right. What do you intend to do?"

What could he do?

Yun Feiyang was only forcing himself to stay upright. Even standing was difficult for him!

"Big sister!"

"Mira!"

As if things were not bad enough, Elfman and Lisanna came running over at this moment!

Seriously? Were there not enough burdens already?

"Don't come over here!"

"Elfman, Lisanna, don't come over!"

Mira was the most anxious of all!

"Mira, don't be afraid! I'm coming to save you!"

"Big sister, I... I'm not afraid either!"

Satan stretched out a hand toward the two from afar and said, "Good. I'll use their souls to recover some of my injuries!"

"What are you doing?"

Mira bristled. "I won't let you hurt them! Absolutely not!"

Would Satan be threatened by that? Clearly not!

Seeing her brother and sister fly toward him against their will, Mira completely snapped!

"I'll fight you!"

Magic erupted from her body. Like an ant trying to shake a tree, she unexpectedly devoured one of Satan's hands, and it slowly began spreading toward his entire body.

"Reception Magic? Has it already succeeded?"

Yun Feiyang remembered something. Demon Mirajane referred to her demon form, and what she received was Satan's Soul!

Didn't that mean this was her chance?

Had disaster turned into a blessing?
