DxD: I know…I'm not the real one,just a cheap copy. but...I'd win-Chapter 47: Challenging the Demon King

"What?! I literally neutralized the enemy without killing them and eliminated a man-eating monster."

Sanguinius didn't appreciate Faker's decision, the individual he suspects of being EMIYA Shirou.

A man filled with good intentions, who unfortunately didn't have a... heroic ending.

Why this assumption?

The quest description literally describes an altruistic and tragic hero.

He only knows one person combining the trait of a Faker and a tragic hero.

[The no-divine seat "Faker" finds your methods too similar to his own.]

[He specifies that you choose efficiency at the expense of heart.]

Involuntarily, Sanguinius was left speechless by Archer Emiya's words.

Deep down, he knew his methods had become increasingly warlike.

He had promised efficiency over the subtleties of "acceptance."

For example, the current him wouldn't have left the Frieren world and would have worked slowly behind the scenes through Serie and Aura with subtlety.

He would have used his strength at the time to take control of a count or duke with a bad reputation in a warlike kingdom like the Empire.

And finally triggered a quick and decisive civil war.

After all, taking an already established kingdom is easier than creating one or rebuilding one like the demon king's, right?

All this shows how much Sanguinius has changed.

If Serie saw him now, she would appreciate his vision of things except concerning magic.

Because he no longer sees it as he used to.

"Too bad... I'm sure Kiritsugu Emiya would have understood," he said, his honest thoughts.

[The no-divine seat "Faker" is surprised by the mention of this name.]

[The no-divine seat "Faker" asks what your connection to Kiritsugu is.]

"That's more your problem, isn't it? You refused to grant me your 'Gift'," Sanguinius wanted to end the stream, as his existence no longer had any meaning.

Surprisingly, Archer Emiya reacted frantically.

[The no-divine seat "Faker" decides to give another quest.]

[Quest (rank A-): the path of a true hero?]

[Description: "Faker" has enormous questions about Kiritsugu's opinion and its similarity to yours.]

[Objective: prove your words and their veracity about the identity of a hero.]

[Reward: everything of Archer Emiya or 2000 points.]

[Do you accept, yes or no?]

Without hesitating, Sanguinius accepted the new challenge.

"This guy is really obsessed with the hero title," muttered the clone beside him, but Sanguinius didn't respond.

He just placed his hand on his shoulder, and the clone was absorbed by him in the form of light particles.

'Hmm... not much change in my power, but that's not unexpected.'

At the time, this clone embodied 15% of his strength.

Now?

It's not even worth 5%.

After this funny and bitter realization, he thought briefly about how to prove his words to Archer.

During this moment, there were several notifications in the chat group discussion thread.

Sanguinius felt a bit annoyed and wanted to open the chat to see their messages.

But...

At that moment, he heard a slight noise.

He turned his attention toward the sound.

The evil goddess, who his clone had trouble handling because of the slime acting as a tank, had subtly slipped out of his field of vision.

This funny and ridiculous sight gave birth to an idea.

'... Hmm... yeah, I should be able to break this damn barrier now.'

There were still 3 demonic generals besides Vanir: Beldia, Sylvia, Hans, Serena.

The three remaining are simply the demon king's daughter, Wiz and Wolbach, in front of him.

"Can you teleport us to the demon king's castle? If it's impossible because of the barrier, then I'll settle for somewhere not far away."

Wolbach seemed to hesitate, but Sanguinius's wide friendly smile was able to convince her.

...

As Sanguinius and Wolbach disappeared in the sparkling light of teleportation, a distant figure rushed toward their location.

"This time, I won't disappoint my master."

Arnes was flying at crazy speed thanks to her bat-like wings toward the city of Arcanletia.

Despite her demonic nature, she is by nature loyal to her affiliation.

Of course, she resents Sanguinius for her months of hell in the dream reality imposed by him.

However, it was she herself who broke and chose to follow him.

Especially since it's in demons' nature to follow the strongest.

After about ten minutes, she arrives at her destination.

Yet her new master and the former one had disappeared.

"Don't tell me all three of them died here!!"

The terrifying idea germinated in the demon's mind, which ended up gaining weight because of Hans's remains and the huge crater caused by the original Sanguinius's fist.

"...No... sniff... I'm all alone again!!!"

The trauma linked to the magical object sold by Megumin's father awakened in the demon's heart.

The fear of being surrounded by untrustworthy people resurfaced.

...

"*Whistle*, not bad the barrier." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Sanguinius and Wolbach stood before an immense castle, intimidating in its appearance.

It had been built using black rocks, and its unique structure stood out enormously.

Of course, the powerful spiritual barrier around the castle added a mystical aspect.

Bam

An imposing aura composed of his Holy Power emerged in Sanguinius, then he extended his open hand toward the barrier.

"Sacred Break Spell": this is the advanced version of Break Spell magic.

Aqua was able to destroy the barrier protecting The Destroyer, a machine reputed as a natural disaster, with just Break Spell.

Cracked.

"W...what?!" Wolbach was shocked by the spectacle before her, but that wasn't the end.

Broken.

Despite the stunned and shocked state of the goddess beside him, Sanguinius calmly absorbed air into his lungs.

Finally, he used magic to allow his strong voice to reach every corner of the castle.

"If the demon king isn't delivered within 10 minutes, I'm blowing up this castle with Explosion magic."

Why Explosion magic?

Why not?

Although he teaches Megumin different ways to use explosions, because the little one is literally a walking cannon.

Sanguinius and his little (unofficial) apprentice share a similar opinion on Explosion magic.

The less it's restrained or controlled, the more satisfying it is when it expresses itself on a target.

"You see, Emiya Shirou? I'm giving a chance and after..." chaotic energy emerged from Sanguinius's hand.

Advanced Explosion magic was in preparation, and even the goddess Wolbach showed an intimidated expression at the amount of mana gathered in Sanguinius's hand.

["Faker" disapproves of your methods and declares it's impossible for you to be seen as a hero.]

Apart from Archer's words, the notifications in the chat group became very noisy.

'Unfortunately for you, Archer, you haven't watched One Piece and you haven't been friends with a conqueror king.'

Who decides the hero?

Who decides justice?

Who can control the well-being and lives of thousands or millions of lives, but also their vision of good?

The answer was given that day at Marineford.

"You'll see, Archer, I'll be the hero of this world, and your opinion won't change anything about it... because justice or even the hero title is decided by those at the top."

Yes, justice belongs to the victor.
