2025-03-21 22:15:14When daybreak arrived, everyone was already anticipating how the competition would end. It felt as if it were already the finals. Dante had started his hunt for the S-rankers again, and it appeared as though he had gotten stronger.
On the other hand, the S-rank monster had finally made its appearance. It descended from the sky, and all in the competition saw it. Since the number of competitors had dwindled, many no longer had any hope of winning against such a monster. So, they planned to drag Dante down with them. As for Dante, he was excited to fight the monster. He abandoned his hunt for the remaining S-rankers and headed toward the creature, unaware that he was already late—someone else was already standing before the monster alone.
Above, the sky darkened, ominous clouds swirling as thunder rumbled through the air. The S-rank Lightning Dragon descended,

"Send them all out!" Lucian yelled, drawing the organizers' attention to Dante's screen.Due to the arrival of the S-rank monster, everyone's focus had been on its battle with Leon. With only a few people paying attention to Dante, they had missed his brutal fight against nine S-rankers. Pushed beyond his limits, Dante was forced to evolve once again to eliminate the remaining opponents.Lucian, who had never taken his eyes off Dante, felt the shift in power the moment Dante leapt into the sky and roared before descending with the force of a falling star."Void Star!" Dante shouted, his sword brimming with converging void energy.Lucian could feel it—this power had the ability to erase all life. If Dante were to use such a technique at his peak, Lucian dreaded to imagine the destruction it could cause."Send them all out!" he yelled again.Just before Dante's sword could strike the ground, the organizers heeded Lucian’s warning and forcibly ejected the other competitors from the simul
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Something Primal
Dante was about to collapse when Aria arrived and caught him just in time, steadying his weakened body against hers.“Good thing no one else is here to see the mighty Dante fall,” Aria joked, her voice light, though her eyes held a trace of concern.“Good, right?” Dante chuckled weakly as she helped him onto the bed. His limbs felt like lead, his muscles burning from the relentless battles he had endured. Still, he maintained his composure, even as he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small vial, and downed his medication in one swift gulp.Aria watched him closely. “You didn’t take it earlier, did you?”“Of course not,” he admitted. “I wasn’t about to show any sign of weakness in front of the audience or my enemies.”Aria sighed but let it slide. She knew Dante well enough to understand his pride.“Sorry I couldn’t end the competition like you wanted,” he added after a moment.“Like I wanted?” Aria’s eyes snapped open in surprise. “What I wanted was for you to win, not to end thin
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Power Granted By The Four Element
The crowd erupted with excitement as the final round of the competition commenced. Only three contestants remained—Dante, Leon, and Celeste. The entire arena buzzed with anticipation, eager to witness who would emerge as the ultimate champion.“I know you all are as excited as I am!” Zane’s voice boomed across the arena. “Never before have we had such a final, and I doubt we’ll ever see another like it!”The audience roared in agreement.“Have you placed your bets?”“Yes! I bet on Leon!”“Me too.”The spectators spoke favorably about Leon, and it was expected. He had slain an S-rank monster alone—an almost impossible feat for a teenager, even if the creature had been weakened. So despite how unbelievable Dante’s victories had been, Leon’s accomplishment was considered even more impressive.Zane’s voice cut through the chatter. “The matchups have been decided. The first duel will be between Dante and Celeste. Whoever wins will face Leon!”Just as the anticipation reached its peak, Cele
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life A Master Of One
Just before the competition started, Mr. Tilo met with the officials and struck a deal. He handed them a special device identical to the ones the students had been using to ensure their safety in the competition. However, unlike the normal safety devices, this one was specially designed to drain Dante’s mana and weaken him.Never one to take chances, Mr. Tilo had ordered his scientists to create this device specifically for Dante. Since it was indistinguishable from the regular ones and designed to deplete mana so subtly that even the user wouldn’t notice, it was impossible for Dante to realize what was happening.“Something is amiss,” Seraphina muttered, her sharp gaze locked on Dante as she noticed him growing weaker.“His mana seems to be depleting faster than normal,” Lucian observed with a frown.“It must be Mr. Tilo’s doing,” Seraphina growled, her eyes narrowing into a deadly glare directed at the oblivious man. Mr. Tilo, unaware of the murderous looks being sent his way, simpl
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life To Sever A Destiny
Dante already knew something was wrong and that he was at a disadvantage, but he had managed to calm his nerves. He had realized that the more disadvantaged he was, the more he could tap into his true potential. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to deliver Void Star; even Void Rend and Void Crescent would be difficult to execute. His bones were broken, and his body was filled with injuries, but his mind had never been clearer.“You don’t seem worried?” Celeste asked Aria.Since everyone was watching, Vida and Aria didn’t sit in the VIP section with the headmasters; instead, they sat among the other students.“Not at all.” Even with Dante’s defeat seemingly inevitable, Aria and Vida didn’t appear concerned.“Are you that confident in him?” William Archibald asked. He still didn’t like Dante, but he was now aware that he wouldn’t last against him in battle.“You don’t know Dante,” Vida stated, drawing everyone’s attention. She was so beautiful and graceful that her presence demanded
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Leon's Determination
Lucian instantly left his seat and appeared in front of Leon, intercepting Dante’s attack with effortless precision. With nothing more than a raised finger, he halted the strike, shattering Dante’s sword upon impact. The sheer force of the clash sent a shockwave rippling through the arena, obliterating the forcefield that had contained the battle.Leon’s legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground, landing on his backside. His breath came in short gasps, his body trembling as realization sank in. He had been mere moments from death. If Lucian hadn’t stepped in, his fate would have been sealed.Lucian turned to him, his golden eyes impassive. “Are you clear on who the winner is?”Leon swallowed hard and nodded. He didn’t need a soothsayer to confirm what was painfully obvious—Dante had utterly defeated him.The crowd erupted in a mix of gasps and excited murmurs.“Can you believe that? Such a powerful attack was stopped by a single finger!” Zane, one of the commentators, exclaimed i
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Dante's Goal
When Dante woke up, he saw a man sitting beside him. He had never seen the man before, but he could sense an incredible power emanating from him. Never had he felt so much power concentrated in a single individual, and the fact that the man could suppress such tremendous mana was remarkable."You're awake," the man said."Yes. Sorry, but who are you?" Dante asked."I am Lucian, your headmaster," the man introduced himself.Dante widened his eyes. Of course, he had heard about their headmaster—Lucian the Untouchable, the man considered humanity’s strongest."Forgive my ignorance.""You don't need to apologize," Lucian chuckled. "I won’t take much of your time. I just have a question about the medication you’ve been taking."While Dante was unconscious, Lucian had a doctor examine him and discovered that Dante had been using some kind of suppressant."I was very weak as a child, so my mother, a B-rank healer, developed a drug to help me recover. Even after awakening, I still need the dr
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Lucian's Demand
The grand hall was adorned with banners and shimmering chandeliers, casting a golden glow over the gathered students, professors, and distinguished guests. The air buzzed with excitement as the reward ceremony was about to begin, marking the end of the competition. Students stood in neat rows, dressed in their academy uniforms, their eyes fixed on the stage where the headmasters of each academy stood.Seraphina stepped forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the gathered students. She had been selected to present the awards."Today, we recognize the achievements of the students," she announced. "Those who have demonstrated outstanding skill, courage, and resilience."Murmurs filled the hall as the first name was called."Dante."A hushed silence fell over the crowd before applause erupted. Dante, his midnight-black hair catching the light, strode forward with his usual composed expression. Though he was never expected to be the winner of this competition, his prowess was undeniable. He

Demons Demand
Everyone was surprised to see the demon race arriving at the tournament. The demons had never shown any interest in the event before. All they ever seemed to crave was pillaging and destruction.With their sudden appearance, the kings and powerful figures across the realms instinctively stood to defend their young ones.“I understand why you're all on edge because of our arrival,” Mikhail said calmly, unfazed by the hostile gazes of the human awakeners, Elven mages and warriors, or even the dwarves and beastkin. He stood there, relaxed—almost as if he could wipe them all out on a whim.“My fellow kings,” he continued, “I simply want my young ones to participate in the tournament.”“King?” Alarion muttered, stunned. It was unheard of for the demons to use that title. They had always followed a demon lord, the strongest among them, but never a king.“Yes, king,” Mikhail affirmed. “After we overthrew the tyrant, we decided it was time to become more civil. To come together as one. Look a
Arrival Of The Demon King
With Sylvia connected to Dante, he instantly felt refreshed."Would you look at that?" Dante smirked as he stood up again to face the remaining monsters."Don't worry about mana, lay them to waste." Sylvia knew that she had enough mana to make Dante fight nonstop."You heard the lady, you all face obliteration." Dante engaged the monsters for the second time—only this time, he wasn’t scared to use mana-draining skills since he had someone with an almost limitless mana pool.Meanwhile, back in the Elven realm, the competition had just started, and with Dante absent, Leon stood as the human champion.Nobody knew the whereabouts of Dante—even Lucian was nowhere to be found—so there was no one to explain his absence."Maybe the boy realized he had reached his limits, so in order not to embarrass himself, he decided not to come," Mr. Tilo stated, and many believed him.Leon hated the fact that Dante was absent because he wanted to show Dante how strong he had gotten in one year."You haven
One Against Ten
Dante could feel it in the weight pressing down on his chest, in the way the ground seemed to hum beneath his boots. He stood just in front of the ancient monument where the Seed of Yggdrasil floated, a sphere of green-gold light pulsing softly above a carved pedestal of runes. Beside him, Sylvia remained silent, her wide eyes fixed on the monsters that had gathered around them.Without hesitation, Dante raised his hand. A dome of shimmering silver light bloomed into being around Sylvia. The force field buzzed softly, enclosing her within a safe sphere. She gasped and reached toward him through the translucent wall.“You can’t fight them all alone,” she said.“I won’t let them get to you,” Dante replied. His voice was calm, steady, even as his heart pounded like a war drum. “That’s the one thing I won’t let happen.”With a snap of his fingers, a cascade of lightning erupted around his body, arcing and weaving itself into armor. Crackling energy coated his skin and sword, running up hi
Seed Of Yggdrasil
Back in the Deadland, Dante had grown closer to the princess. Though nothing sexual had happened between them, the connection was undeniable. Every night, the princess went to sleep holding onto Dante's helm. After staying so long in this place, her beautiful dress was ruined and so filthy that she couldn’t even begin to imagine how bad she must smell.Looking at the princess and how ragged she had become, Dante decided it was time to take drastic measures. He had grown so strong over the past few months, but what was the point of growing stronger if he couldn't leave this place? From their search, he had come to realize that there were only ten calamity monsters, and each one was far stronger than the desert worm. He always tried to avoid fighting them, knowing that engaging one would draw the attention of the others."I refuse to believe there’s no end to this," Dante muttered—and Sylvia woke at that very moment."I have finally found it.""Found what?""The reason I came. And I bel
The Preparation
Dante remembered Toma saying they would face endless hordes of monsters, but he never imagined it would be this many. He opened the force-field and stepped inside so Sylvia could help him recharge. He could have waited for his mana to recover naturally, but that would take too long, and Sylvia had more than enough to share."Can you move this force-field?" Sylvia asked."Yes. We have to search this land. There must be a way out," Dante replied as he levitated the force-field. He needed a better view of the terrain."Wow," Sylvia muttered. As far as they could see, there were only monsters."They really are endless," Dante said, then began moving the force-field eastward as fast as he could.After a while, they heard a roar. When they turned, they saw a dragon spewing fire. If not for the force-field, they would have been reduced to ashes."That's a calamity-level monster," Aleric muttered, wondering if this was one of the legendary dragons said to be stronger than demons."This is jus
Endless Hordes Of Monsters
"Where are we?" Sylvia asked as she opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar place.The sky was crimson red, with no moon or sun in sight. There was no way to tell if it was day or night."It looks like a deadland," Dante replied, scanning the horizon. There wasn’t a single trace of green as far as his eyes could see. "We need to get down and find a way back to our group."They stood atop a barren hill. Nothing surrounded them, just lifeless land stretching endlessly in all directions. Dante was certain they wouldn’t find anything here.But before they could descend, a shrieking sound pierced the air. Monsters came rushing from every direction, their numbers endless."Pardon me, Princess," Dante said as he summoned a forcefield to protect her. He stepped forward, alone.Through their conversations, Dante had learned how powerful Sylvia was. In a one-on-one battle, she could overwhelm most opponents with her sheer mana and nature magic. But because she had always been protected
Fall Of Two Generational Genius
“As long as I live, death shall never claim you.”Dante’s words echoed in her heart like a sacred promise, anchoring her in the storm. Despite the looming terror, Princess Sylvia felt an unexpected calm settle inside her. She felt safe, even in the face of death.Dante stepped forward, steady and sure, his tone cutting through the tension.“Look alive, gentlemen. We are not your average S-rankers.”Toma exhaled through gritted teeth, steeling himself. “It’s almost shameful, having a junior remind me of who I am... but thanks, Dante.”Lucian followed suit, his face composed, though his eyes were sharp with resolve. He stepped forward but paused long enough to cast a shimmering mana shield around Sylvia. Despite possessing the highest mana reserves among them, she wasn’t a fighter. Her strength was not meant for the battlefield.“There’s no holding back,” Toma reminded them. His voice was rough, and sparks of black lightning danced across his fingers.A sudden pulse shook the ground. Th
The Desert Worm
“There hasn't been a single monster since we entered,” Dante stated.“Yes, but we shouldn’t let our guard down,” Lucian advised.It had been two days since they entered the dungeon, and in all that time, they hadn’t seen a single monster. According to Toma, however, the environment was different from the last time he was here.“And when will this desert end?” Even the patient Sylvia was now tired of the endless sand they had been walking on since their arrival.“Hopefully, we’ll get past it soon,” Toma muttered.“The last time you were here, what was the environment like?” Dante asked him.“Well, the first time I came, the dungeon was like any other. We fought against various ranks of monsters, but when we reached what we believed to be the final chamber, S-rank monsters started pouring out. If not for the teleportation talismans we had, many of us would have died,” Toma scoffed, remembering. “The second time, I thought it would be the same, but the moment we stepped in, we found ours
Destiny Always Prevails
Stefan couldn't believe how things had turned out. He, the prideful genius, had been defeated by nothing but a footstep. He growled and tried to stand, but he couldn’t—the gravity was too strong, forcing him down. He managed to glance at the prince and his guards, all lying flat on their stomachs with faces wrinkled in pain. A part of him felt pride for only kneeling on one knee, but that pride quickly vanished when he remembered he was facing a human of the same generation.Of course, there have been instances in history in which a human has defeated an elf champion. Lucian the Untouchable managed to do it. But never had an elf been so thoroughly defeated. Even when Lucian won against the elf of his time, the fight could have gone either way if the elf hadn't underestimated him. Stefan’s pride might not have suffered so much if he hadn’t been so completely overpowered.“You can stop now,” the princess’s beautiful voice reached Dante, and he released the pressure, allowing those under
