Reincarnated as a Blood Demon on Terra? I've Hit the Jackpot!

How much time has passed… a year? Or perhaps ten years?

The two children, who once seemed so weak and fragile, had now grown up somewhat. But for the life cycle of the Sarkaz race, the current age of Ascalon and Manfred only meant they had held a sword for a little longer… However, they had been polished to perfection by Lucifer.

Long ago, even if Ascalon and Manfred joined forces, they couldn't move even a single hand of Lucifer's. But as the years went by, their growth meant they no longer had to call "GGEZ" and lose within five minutes like before.

In order to stand before Lucifer for a full ten minutes… Ascalon and Manfred once again raised their swords of rebellion against their teacher, Lucifer.

"Senior Sister."

"I know."

Under the shadow of the dark clouds, a figure hidden in the mist spoke with the cool, charming, and more mature voice of a woman.

Manfred hesitated no longer. He used the sword-staff in his hand, swinging it to launch a crimson magic spell at Lucifer, who was not far away… During their long training, Lucifer had accidentally discovered that Malfred's adaptability with Originium Arts and his talent for magic were not bad at all, perfectly compensating for the weakness that he and Ascalon lacked in ranged attacks. Therefore, he had chosen a sword-staff from the King's Treasury to be Malfred's lifelong exclusive weapon.

"Useless!"

Lucifer, who had completely become a tachi-wielder, swung his sword down, directly dispelling the spell that was rushing towards him. And at that very moment, a blurry shadow, difficult to see with the naked eye, dashed through the spell fragments lingering in the air, heading straight for Lucifer's face.

His blood-red eyes reflected Ascalon's figure… a sharp hidden blade shot out from her wrist, stabbing towards his throat!

"A sneak attack!"

Seeing this, how could Lucifer not have anticipated that Ascalon would use Manfred's attack as a feint to sneak attack an old comrade of one hundred and seventy years like him? Faster than one could say… he used the hand speed gained from two lifetimes of being single to reverse his tachi, accurately blocking the hidden blade she had thrust at him.

Ascalon did not panic and grow flustered as she used to when she missed. She swung the hidden blade in her left hand out and attacked Lucifer again. Seeing this familiar scene, Lucifer had originally planned to replicate the famous scene of showing off with his bare hands once more, but he felt the direction of the wind change—in a blink, he saw… Manfred was no longer in his original spot!

Therefore, Lucifer, changing his strategy, retreated slightly to create distance, swatting away Ascalon's pursuing attack with his sword. Then, seizing the opportunity before she could make her next move… Lucifer used a Rider Kick to counter!

"Ughk…!"

Ascalon quickly crossed her arms to defend but was still sent flying into the distance by the powerful kick.

Without paying any attention to Ascalon, who had been kicked two leagues away, Lucifer turned around… Malfred was already upon him with his sword!

CLANG!

With a piercing screech, the silver and white swords clashed, instantly kicking up waves of wind.

"Ugh…" The hands gripping Malfred's sword trembled slightly, the surprise in his eyes even greater. Even though his own power now was incomparable to the past, Lucifer could still easily overpower him with just the strength of one hand, and even seemed to be doing so with ease.

Suddenly, Lucifer's lips curled into a smirk, the smile on his face growing more twisted.

"Little Man… I'll teach you one more move… Bankai! Even that orange-haired kid couldn't master it, so you'd better try harder!… Close-range Getsuga Tenshō!"

As he spoke, while Manfred was still trying to understand Lucifer's meaning, the silver-white tachi suddenly emitted ripples of blood. It was then that he suddenly remembered… Lucifer could also use magic and spells!

Then, crimson lightning enveloped Malfred's body, exploding into a thick cloud of dust. Only a few moving shadows could be faintly seen within the smoke. It was unknown who swung the sword, but the aftershock from the blade pressure blew away the annoying dust… what appeared to their eyes was Malfred, lying on the ground, unable to get up again, looking as if he were soulless.

Looking more closely… it was Ascalon who had used the cover of the smoke to move within a meter of Lucifer, but the weakness of her short hidden blades was now infinitely magnified… because the tip of Lucifer's sword was now pointed at her heart.

That's right… they had lost again… but not completely.

"Hmm… you lasted 11 minutes and 45 seconds. That's excellent!" Teresa, who was responsible for timing the fight, pressed stop on the stopwatch in her hand. And beside her was Tracy, with a deadpan face… a jinchuriki who normally has dark circles under his eyes.

When the exhibition match was declared over, Lucifer sheathed his tachi. Ascalon, after a moment of thought, slapped Malfred, who was cosplaying as the King of Endurance (in sleeping), awake.

"Huh… am I dead? Is this still Kazdel?!"

"Probably hell, you idiot… We lost again… Sorry for not being able to let Teacher go all out."

Lucifer waved his hand, not in humility or apology, but as if to say, "Little ones… you still have a lot more to practice."

At this moment, Teresa and Tracy walked over, smiling as they looked at the battered Ascalon and Malfred.

"We apologize for disappointing Your Highness and the General."

Teresa just smiled gently, but the one who spoke to comfort them was Tracy.

"It's fine… you don't need to feel guilty at all. Besides Lucifer, only the two of you know best about your own growth and change." Tracy was not overly strict. Seeing the transformation of Ascalon and Manfred after their arduous polishing, he was already very satisfied. Besides… if the two of them had actually defeated Lucifer, he would have had to wonder if that incredibly lazy Blood Demon was planning to slack off and run away.

"Have Your Highness and the General been working very hard lately? I see the General's dark circles seem to have gotten a bit darker…" Ascalon asked with curiosity. Teresa and Tracy were swamped with a thousand tasks; at the very least, it would be half a year before they could find the spare time to see her and Malfred once. But recently, the twin siblings had been visiting with exceptional frequency.

"Ah… I just applied some eyeshadow for him."

"…You don't need to worry about our work."

"Hmm, hmm… so Ascalon and Manfred, you two just stay here with Lucifer and level up… cough, cough… I mean, train for a little longer, okay?"

"?…"

Teresa coughed lightly, trying to suspiciously change the subject. But the look Tracy gave her seemed to say: While I was busy giving myself these dark circles… what were you doing?

"In short… Tracy and I truly hope that you two will grow up quickly… and come help us with our work."

"…Yes, I understand." Ascalon paused for a moment before replying to Teresa. She quietly glanced at Lucifer, who was standing with an OMO face in the corner, her heart feeling complicated.

Actually, she was more inclined to work by Lucifer's side. But… where would Lucifer be working in the future? The Military Committee… or Babel? Or… would he even still be in Kazdel by then?
