Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

"You play dirty," Aldred said.

"I can say the same thing to you. You are quite cunning for a Diamond Rank. Only old fogies usually act like that."

"Maybe I am older than I look."

"I know your true age," Victor said. "You are 12 year old child."

It maddened him just processing that information. A twelve year old and yet already at Diamond Ranks. And not just any Diamond Rank, but a powerful one that could even contend against him who had been a Diamond Rank for hundred of years.

Aldred received a piece of information through telepathy and then smiled which confused Victor.

"Are you not worried about your Empire?"

"We are the strongest Empire in this continent. Of course I would not be worried."

"Selia is a force to reckon with. And my army is ready to provide vital information to them. Your Empire might survive but it will receive great destruction."

That might be the case if we do not have allies."

Victor's eyes flickered. "Montcresia…"

"Not just them. Thignia will also move to my aid."

"The land of vampire. I recalled you married the daughter of a powerful count."

"That's right." Aldred smiled. "Now, I have enough time to beat the crap out of you."

"You can try." Suddenly, millions of tiny holes appeared of Victor's body and then billions of micro satellites flew out and went into the air. These satellites were smaller than dust particles, and even though Aldred could see them, it was hard to keep track of them all.

Victor did not have that kind of problem because he had processors installed in his brain. Unlike a brain that could only focus on one thing, the processors could process thousands of things at once.

The satellites worked as eyes and information gatherer for Victor. This way, he did not have any blind spot at all.

Aldred roughly understood their function, but he wasn't worried. So what if he had a billion eyes in the air? It all won't matter if he used the element of surprise.

He could teleport instantly for short distance, and his enemies couldn't even react despite seeing his move.

Victor raised his hand and clenched his metallic fist. With a boom, the space around him warped and 400 bladed robots abruptly acted and quickly darted towards Aldred.

"Field of Fire." Aldred pointed. The tip of his finger flashed and a powerful fluctuation of mana suddenly enveloped a tract of space in front of him before it ignited into flame.

"Using your robots, Victor? You know they are too weak for me." Aldred smiled.

"Yes, but they provide enough distraction." The robotic voice came from behind. Aldred quickly spun to attack with his Phantom Doomblade but a mechanical stinger was quicker than him and stung him in the waist.

Aldred gritted his teeth and continued with his attack only for Victor to block it with his vibration sword.

His eyes flashed with excitement. Aldred hated it when his enemies were too easy to defeat, but Victor continued to surprised him again and again.

Aldred kicked Victor in the chest, throwing him away. But suddenly, a distant cannon fired a beam that struck Aldred directly.

He easily withstand that attack.

Aldred looked around and saw all kinds of robots and weapons were stationed on hills, mountains, by the trees, and even in the air. He could sense that they were aiming towards him.

Sighing, Aldred snapped his fingers and thousands of magic circles appeared in the air, shooting fire spears at all the weapons and robots.

Seven-meter long heavy spear made out of fire shot directly at a robot, exploding them from the impact and heat.

These spears had weight even though they were made out of flame, and the heat they exuded was enough to burn the skin of an ordinary man if they stood 100 meters away from it.

A giant fireball, looking like a meter falling from the sky weighing more than one hundred ton smashed into an area and exploded, destroying the robots in the vicinity.

"Don't waste your resources, Victor. One million weak enemies wouldn't do a thing to me. I specialized in area of effect skills. Killing numerous fragile thing is what I do best."

Victor did not need to look around to see that a lot of his robots were blasted and reduced into scraps of metal. "I do not care. I will use everything in my arsenal to defeat you."

Gradually, robots appeared from the distance.

It was one hundred at first, but the numbers grew to 1,000, then 10,000, and then suddenly, the army grew into 10 million robots.

"Foolish! Stop using your robots and fight me! If you think all of them can tire me out, then you are wrong. My mana is limitless."

Aldred raised his fist and punched the ground. Suddenly, the area 20 KM in diameter cracked and bright flame shot out of the cracks, burning everything it touched into dust.

Victor was shocked to see this power. Though he had studied Aldred's skill for a whole year, he did not expect that this man could create a new skill so suddenly simply because of his high mastery over his power.

The whole world seemed to be filled with flame. It was like Aldred could bring hell itself.

Suddenly, he appeared right in front of Victor and punched. Victor leaned his head back, but flame of fist came out and struck him, destroying his right shoulder.

All kinds of data entered Victor's mind, informing him of the damage done. Aldred's flame etched onto the broken parts and constantly burn the parts.

The fire only died after a cold gas leaked out from his metallic body.

Victor roared in anger. A rare thing since he rarely expressed his emotion. He had long shed a major part of his humanity, thinking that he would remove his human weakness.

But for the first time after decades, Victor felt a powerful emotion in his 'heart'.

He moved towards Aldred at blinding speed, his fingers turned into ferocious sharp, metallic claws.

They stabbed through Aldred's chest and pierced his heart.

"DIE!" Victor shouted and a powerful electricity current ran through his claws and blasted Aldred's heart.

Aldred's knee fell to the ground as he spat out blood.

He held onto Victor's arm and smiled with blood on his lips. "Not bad. But I win this round again."

Victor trembled and was about to turn around until the Phantom Doomblade pierced through his chest.

"How… My satellites. They should have detected you."

"Well, there is a lot of dust particles around here, so I figured, why don't I turn to dust as well."

Victor grunted.

A blue pod moved within Victor's body and then a piston tried to crush it.

Before that could happen however, Aldred punctured a hole in his body and grabbed the piston with his hand.

"I won't let you do that."

Victor's eyes flashed. "Unfortunately, you cannot."

A small bomb combusted in Victor's body, destroying the pod and suddenly, space and time stopped.

Just like before, time began to revert back into a few hours ago. All the fire spears came back into the magic circle and the robots were undestroyed.

The time went all the way back to when Victor first appeared.

That was when it became normal again.

Victor looked at Aldred one more time before he turned around, about to leave.

Aldred smiled and quickly summoned the temporal drive. "You think you are the only one who can control time?"
