“What is a Demonic Gear, Master?” On the way to the Academy, Damien asked Amon.
“Demonic Gear is the best weapon among the best. These were weapons that had the ability to grow as their owner grew stronger. And Demoic Gear existed since the reign of Machina. Machina was the discoverer after all.”
“Machina?”
“Machina is the demon who first introduced technology. This is also what made him recognized as the Great Demon King, Machina brought changes to the Demon World by introducing Technology.”
"Was there before Machina, the Demon World didn't have technology?"
"Yes, the Demon World didn't have Technology before Machina existed. Even before Machina, demons didn't use weapons, and only relied on Magic and Bloodline Ability.”
"Then what about the concept of a Grim Reaper having a scythe."
Dark Soul existed before Machina existed.
“In the past, anything formed using magic wasn't a weapon, but magic itself. After all, a Grim Reaper's scythe isn't a weapon, it's a limb.”
“I just found out about it!!!” Damien was shocked to hear this fact.
Damien then continued his journey to the Academy. Strangely, this time there was no Felix who stopped him on the road and accompanied him. But Damien ignored that and continued on his way to the Academy.
Arriving at the Academy, Damien went straight to the Demonic Gear Hall. But on his way, there was a statue that caught his eye. Making Damien stop to look at the statue.
The statue was made with a black material that Damien didn't know about. The statue exuded a noble and majestic aura. The statue held a splendid spear in its hand, giving it an extremely dashing and courageous appearance. Its horns rose to the sky, looking like a king's crown. And body is beautiful with perfectly sculpted muscles. The statue had a slim physique! Remember, slim!
Beneath the statue, it says: Amon The Peace Lover. The Great Demon King.
“Teacher… you know what? I really respect you, really really respect you.”
“Hmm…”
“But impersonating another demon is impolite. What's more it is the identity of the Great Demon King.”
"What do you mean, brat?!" Ammon shouted angrily. “It was a statue showing the majestic figure of this King.”
"Okay Master... I will believe in you." Damien was sad to see his master unable to accept reality.
"This king is really Amon The Peace Lover, The Great Demon King." Even though he was annoyed by his student's disbelief, Amon tried to patiently explain. " That was the form this King had hundreds of years ago before this King went to the Human World."
“You really do experience a 'decrease in another sense' when it comes to the human world.”
“What do you mean by 'decrease in another sense,' brat?!” Ammon felt very irritated. "This disciple seems to need punishment?"
“I apologize, Great Master.”
“If you want to apologize, then pay your respects to this King statue!!”
"This disciple will do it soon."
"Fast!!!"
Damien placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to the statue.
“Paying respects to the Demon King is indeed a noble deed, my rival.” Someone suddenly spoke to Damien in a loud voice. After that, the young demon also did what Damien just did.
Damien just saw the demon who had just spoken to him. "If I'm not mistaken you-"
“Elion Eligos, Nice to meet you.” Elon reached out his hand to invite Damien to get acquainted. "Yesterday, because of the excitement you made, I didn't have time to greet you."
[What excitement? Precisely that is a problem.] Damien then shook Elion's hand. "Nice to meet you, Elion. I'm Damien."
"Let's talk while walking down the Hall, Damien."
"Come on."
The two demons walked together. They were an odd sight, for one was tall and stout, and the other short and cute. They immediately attract attention.
“Two demons who want to reach the Throne are walking together!!”
“Is there going to be another fight?”
“If the Princess is here, wouldn't it be complete? The three demons who want to take the Throne of this school will gather.”
But whether it was Damien or Elion didn't care about the surroundings.
“Elion, do you know anyone who wants to become a Demon Lord?” Damien tried to get information out. Because after all he was serious about getting the Throne,
“Of course almost all Devils want to become a Demon King.” Elion replied. “But if you mean a person who dared to declare himself as the Demon Lord candidate, that's still a lot.”
"There really are more than a dozen?"
"Yes. But the one with the most candidates is only in this Academy.”
"Ohh...?"
“Other schools may only have one candidate. But in this school there are three candidates: You, Me, and Amelia Amon."
“The girl who summoned Darkness Crow yesterday?” Damien knew that because Felix provided the Information.
"Yes, it is said that this girl is very talented, but no one knows her exact strength because she rarely fights in public."
“But, doesn't the fact that Amelia managed to summon the Darkness Crow show that she is very strong?”
"That's right." Elon admitted it heavily. "With this many rivals, it seems that it will not be easy to reach the throne?"
"Shouldn't it be like that to get the Throne?"
"That's true though."
Behind them, a Young Devil was galloping towards them. It's Felix. Inside the Academy, flying is not allowed, that's why Felix is running.
"Master Damien, please forgive me for my delay." Felix said as he bowed towards Damien, after which he quickly looked at Elion. “What business do you have with my lord, Elion? If you want to beat my lord, then face me first.”
"Finally you came Felix." Elion replied to Felix with a grin on his face. "I'm ready to face you anytime."
"Then we can start now."
They were now right in front of the Demonoc Gear Hall. Which means, a lot of people there. What the brand does, immediately attracts attention.
“Elion Eligos and Felix Fenriz are going to have a fight!”
"I want to see it."
"Who will win?"
"Both of them are equally strong."
[Let's get along.]
“You guys can start anytime.” A teacher interrupts their argument. “But, you guys will be the last to perform the Damonic Gear Summoning Ritual.”
"How can be like that?" Elion shouted at Lucius for an explanation.
"Because I like that, Fool." Lucius answered arrogantly.
“You misuse of power!!”
Lucius didn't reply, he just walked into the Hall of Demonic Gear.
"Come on, don't fight! For now, let's focus on school."
"I agree."
"If that's what you want, then this servant will carry it out,"
They then walked into Damonic Gear Hall. Inside, Lucius was already starting to spread information about the Ritual.
“…Unlike the Familiar Summoning Ritual, the Demonic Gear Summoning Ritual will be performed four times at a time. And the method is also the same as Familiar Summons. Do you understand?"
"Understand."
"Very nice." Like yesterday, the Parchments flew into the hands of the students.
When Damien's hand already had the parchment, he then shoved the parchment into the left pocket of his pants. Dan took out the parchment that he had prepared in the right pocket. This parchment was made by Amon and had already dripped Damien's blood yesterday, so he didn't have to bother going out of the Hall just to drip blood.
“The first four demons who will perform the ritual will be,” Lucius announced. “Amelia Amon, Elion Eligos, Damien, and Felix Fenriz.”
