That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Primordial Demon

Huh, Rouge? Is that the aura I felt sometime ago.

I heard that two nations were wiped out, but that wasn't a big deal.

Well, if my former self were to hear me say this, he'd scream his ass off.

But this is a different me. Well, it's not a completely different me but a new me.

It took a few years to accept the truth that I was a demon.

I tried to shrug it off as a dream, but reality gave me a huge middle finger.

I was thinking that I was gonna get a punishment from God, but I'm the same demon that became God's best friend.

Enough of that. I think he just got stronger.

His magicule pool has already surpassed mine slightly.

He should be stronger than me by now.

Sariel: 「Well, I definitely didn't expect this. Nice to see you again, Rouge.

Do you mind telling me if you got named?」

I'm pretty sure he has a name by now. Who gave him a name? That person must be strong.

Guy: 「Hm? Oh yeah. I am now called Guy.」

Seriously!?

Sariel: 「Uuuuuh, did yah name yourself?」

I asked this question with an exasperated expression on my face.

Guy: 「Wait. How did you know?」

Yep. Called it.

*Sigh*

Sariel: 「I am honestly disappointed. I expected more from you. Well, forget that bid.

You said that I got strong, but it is clear that you are stronger.

You could probably defeat me easily if you play your cards right.」

I spoke the absolute truth. If we were to fight a battle of pure skills, he'd crush me easily.

I wasn't that good in my sword art, but my mastery in magic covered up for that weakness.

I think I'll focus on my swordsmanship more. I'll ask Kenneth for that later on.

It turns out that Kenneth was an otherworlder like me. He was summoned a few years before we met, so we easily became close.

I taught him quite a few things on magic whilst he taught me a little swordsmanship.

He showed me something called "Battlewill."

It is simply the use of one's own aura in an attack to create disruptions in the flow of energy in a target's body.

Quite a handy art if you ask me.

I learnt how to perform it and decided to start creating arts of my own from that technique.

I also taught him some of my magic. It him aspectual magic.

He had an affinity towards ice and lightning, so I showed him how to perform magic under it, along with how he could use it in his swordsmanship.

He was really happy about it. I told him that he also helped by showing me that art of his, but he said that what I taught him was way more useful than what he showed me.

I second that. I can already see Sage-san making some absurd techniques with this new information.

「Notice. You can leave the rest to me.」

Yeah. I'll definitely do that.

Guy: 「I doubt that, but the only way to find that out is through a fi-」

Sariel: 「I will not fight you.」

I have to make it clear so that he doesn't coax me into fighting him.

Guy: 「Oh come on~, it wouldn't hurt to have a little spar now, would it?」

Sariel: 「Yep. It definitely would. I'm kinda busy, so I'll head out now.」

After I said this, he looked pissed but I couldn't care less.

Guy: 「Tch. Fine. But you owe me a match another time.

I'm gonna head out to meet that powerful aura I sensed in the east.」

Hm. If my memory serves me right, that would happen to be the place Velda went.... to..... OH HELL NAH!!!

Sariel: 「Oi! That's where the God of the universe is, you know? He's gonna kill you if you disturb him.」

I know this is a big lie, but I can't let him go there. Something tells me that he's gonna challenge Velda for his position.

That's just how prideful Rou-.. I mean, Guy is.

Guy: 「Leave me alone or fight me.」

On second thought–

Sariel: 「You know what, safe journey. See ya!」

With nothing else to say, I left him immediately teleported out of there.

Guy: 「Tch. You seriously hate fighting, huh?

I wanted to see how well I'll fare against you as I've evolved, but I'll do that later.」

He looked in the direction where he felt the intense aura at.

Guy: 「I have a God to meet. Hehe.」

With a speed easily breaking the sound barrier, he dashed towards the location.

 ◇◇◇

After the passage of some years, I've finally mastered the ways of a swordsman.

Simply put, I've learned how to fight with a sword.

Though that did come with rigorous training for years.

But it was to be expected. I spent a lot of time mastering my swordsmanship to the point where I almost forgot about Guy.

Apparently, he met Velda resting nearby and, without a second thought, attacked him.

I'm pretty sure he thought that he did what any normal person would do.

I don't think he fits the category of stupid anymore.

With his evolution, his way of exhibiting stupidity must have evolved along with him.

He obviously lost, but instead of serving him, Velda gave him a role in the world as a mediator.

The name is self-explanatory. His job is to simply monitor the humans, making sure that they don't erase their own existence through political wars or fights.

He will become a demon lord. The one that will strike fear in all of humanity and force them to stand together in unity and go against him for their own good.

Personally, I do not like the way they went about creating this type of forced unity.

I mean, sure, they might come together, true, but it won't be long before they start another stupid war.

If that keeps happening, all you'll be doing is wiping out humanity on your own step by step.

But what can I do. I could use my position as the protector that I'm seen as to wipe out any trash nation trying to create chaos.

With that in mind, I'll be able to make them think that their protector will wipe out any nation that disturbs the peace in the world.

Although it would've been cool if I was a demon lord, too.

Well, beats me. Actually, Velda here summoned me to talk about some super important stuff.

I'm currently making preparations to teleport there. Or so I thought.

Norana: 「Greetings primordial silver, or should I say Sariel-san?」

This chick came to pick me up.

Sariel: 「You know, I could teleport there straight without any problem. I don't see any reason for him to stress you.」

Norana: 「I decided to come on my own volition, so don't mind me.」

Now that I look closely, she is fucking hot.

She has a striking azure blue hair that stretches down to her waist with crimson red pupils.

「Notice. This individual possesses two ultimate skills. 」

W-Wah!! Seriously!? Damn. I don't wanna get on her bad side.

Sariel: 「A-Ah. I see. Might there be something about me that made you come down from heaven just to meet me?」

I asked, feeling nervous about why a primordial angel would try to meet me. Especially one this strong.

Norana: 「Oh? Nothing big. Just for curiosity's sake.」

Well, that was... weird. Meh, whatever.

Sariel: 「Uuuuuh sure. How about we start going.... eh!?」

Without knowing when, she appeared in front of me, holding my hand and looking at me straight in the eyes.

Norana: 「How did you defeat the Mad Titan God!? You don't even have an ultimate skill yet.

You're still a demon peer, and your body was not yet in the mythical realm! Pleeeeease tell me how you did it!!」

Wow! Didn't see that coming. A complete 180⁰. I guess I should tell her.

Sariel: 「A-Ah well, I just sorta.... did it, you know? Hahahaha....」

Ah shit! This is so awkward!

Norana: 「No fair, no fair. Please, come on.」

*Sigh*

Sariel: 「I do possess a unique skill that can rival an ultimate skill.

He also wasn't an experienced fighter. The odds were just against him.」

Norana: 「*Sigh*. What a bummer. Sorry for being such a stick in the mud. The name's Norana.」

Sariel: 「Ah. There is no need to apologise. I'm sure you already know, but I'm Sariel. Nice to meet you.」

Norana: 「Hm. Let's get going then.」

Saying that, she teleported us out of the Jura Forest.

As we got to the Heavenly Star Palace, the first person I saw was–

Lunax: 「Greetings Sariel-san. It's a pleasure to meet you again.」

Ah. That angelic voice~. It's not good for my heart!!

Sariel: 「Ah. Good to see you too, Lunax-san. You are as beautiful as I remembered.」

It's good to begin pleasantries with a compliment. That's what Makime always told me.

I don't really get why it's so important to do such things. Meh.

Norana: 「My~, what's this? Is the cold and ruthless Lunax blushing?」

Now that I look closely, she has a light shade of pink on her cheek. Wait, is this my moment!!?

Obera: 「*Sigh*. Forgive her. She is actually shy and nervous around people she doesn't know.」

Well shit. I thought I was finally ticking it off my bucket list.

Sariel: 「You must be Obera-san. Nice to meet you.」

Obera: 「Hm. Nice to meet you too, Sariel-san. 」

We all introduced ourselves, trying to get to know each other better.

I met Dino, Pico, and Gracia. They were pretty chill. Dino is kinda weird. He behaves like a sleepyhead.

Gracia is cool and composed. At least, that's what I've seen from them.

Pico acts a little mature, but she's still childish in nature.

I also met Zalario. He's a cool headed person, although he acts cold. It's still cool, though.

As for Cornu, he follows Feldway's order to the fullest of his abilities.

Kinda an asshole if you ask me. Is it because I resent a certain royal chicken?

Nah, I don't think so.

We all met up in a room filled with gold. The design of the room was exquisite, to say the least.

There were seats arranged for us.

The seats were also created with intricate designs that made it ever more eye-catching than it's supposed to.

Soon enough, Velda appeared before us, and they all bowed down to him.

Me?

Like hell I would!

I stood proud with my chest high up, clearly shining with infinite brilliance as I-

「Notice. You were not-」

Oh, shush your mush, you invisible brat.

「....」

Oops. I made her mad.

Feldway: 「Hey demon, show some respect to Veldanava-sama.」

Oh? Ah! It's the royal chicken!!

Sariel: 「Oh? You wanted some dog biscuits? Sure. I've got lots from where that came from.」

Feldway: 「What did you say you-」

Sariel: 「Huh? A deaf royal chicken. I can't have that.

*Sigh*. Well, I'll just manage you like that. Be honoured!」

Shocking things that I actually learned it from the first genius I ever met.

Lunax: 「Pfft.」

Eh! She gets the joke!!

Norana: 「BAHAHAHAHA!! Royal chicken!? Dog biscuits!!?」

She also gets the joke!

Pico: 「Pfft!-*cough*, *cough*」

They all get the joke!!!

Veldanava: 「*Sigh*. Let's just get back to what I brought you all here for.」

After he said that,we all got serious.

Veldanava: 「There is a huge dragon making its way to the cardinal world.

Apparently, it has the intention to destroy the world.

I'll need you guys to intercept the dragon before it does so.」

Is this dude serious? Can't he handle it by himself?

Veldanava: :「You are the worlds protector, and I'm the world's creator.

I don't want to interfere that much.

There might be a time when I won't be there to do such things.

Hence, you have to learn how to defend this world from threats.」

He just read my mind, didn't he?

Veldanava: 「No. I didn't.」

*Sigh*

What an excellent speech is what I'd say. If not for the obvious intent to push work over to me.

Sariel: 「Um, just how strong is this dragon, if I may ask?」

I asked this question, knowing fully well that he would not bother me if it was manageable.

Veldanava: 「You'll have to find out for yourself.」

Sariel: 「In that case, is it alright to leave me out of this.

I don't think I'm out for a dragon conquest just yet.」

I spoke my mind, feeling offended for being disturbed during my magic training session.

My words seem to displease some of the angels nearby as they began to rant about how a great deity wasted his time on a lowly demon like me.

And here I thought racism began with humanity.

Obera: 「Sariel-san, you have the responsibility of protecting the world against threats like these.

We were also given jobs to do.

So, the fact that we were called to handle this issue whilst neglecting our jobs proves that this is a serious situation. Pkease cooperate. 」

Damn! She just gave me a solid reason not to back out of this.

Damn it all!!

Sariel: 「*Sigh*. Then how about this.

You guys will first take care of it. If the dragon proves to be too strong, I'll come to lend a hand.

I could also bring some extra hands to help in the matter.」

Veldanava: 「Thank you, Obera.

As for you, I'll be really glad if you could do that.

According to my deduction, the dragon will appear in a month's time.

Please prepare yourselves for the day to come. Good luck to you all.」

As soon as he said that, he disappeared.

*Sigh*

The chaos never seems to end.

I was about to teleport back to the Jura Forest when Lunax came to me.

Lunax: 「S-Sariel-san. Would you mind if I asked for a request?」

Oh? Lunax-san wants to a request? That's something new to talk about.

Sariel: 「Hm. Sure thing. Ask away Lunax-san.」

I mean, she doesn't look like one to ask for unreasonable requests.

Lunax: 「You know, you can call me without pleasantries. There's no need for formalities.」

Sariel: 「In that case, the same goes for me. Just call me Sariel.」

She seemed kinda shy at first but quickly regained composure.

She is an elegant beauty, after all.

「....」

Lunax: 「I wanted to ask you to be my sparring partner.」

Eh? That's unexpected. I thought it was gonna be something like... let's just forget about it.

It's still surprising, to say the least.

I'm not one to fight all the time, so I don't really think about things like these.

But against an overpowered dragon that could potentially destroy the world, I think I need to start training to become stronger than ever.

Norana: 「I'd like to ask for the same thing. Do you mind it?」

Eh!? Even you, Norana-san? Well, if two beautiful ladies are asking for something this little, I can't just refuse them!

Sariel: 「Uuuuuh, sure thing. Just don't expect much from me.」

With that said, I started my preparation to leave.

I didn't expect all this to happen in a span of a few minutes.

But what can a lowly demon like me do? Hahahaha.

I guess I have two primordials as my companions now.

「Correction. Sparring partners.」

Dude. Why do you have to be such a joy killer?

「Hmph!」

*Sigh*

Anyway, we headed back to the cardinal world. In the Jura Forest, to be exact.

During my time there, I found out that I didn't have a hell gate like the other primordials do.

That includes rose. But when I named the Jura Forest, a new hell gate was created for me.

I guess the Voice of the World recognises the forest as my own.

I decided to call one of my loyal retainers, Yuria, to manage it.

She does an excellent job. I'm so proud of her.

Why, you ask?

I got a report that Violet thought it to be a wonderful idea to invade "just for fun."

But Yuria did a spectacular job in defending the gate alongside her subordinates. I decided to reward her with a material body.

I got to learn that it was kinda impossible to use material creation to make a permanent body.

Sage-san, being the tyrant that she is, gave that law a huge slap in the face by defying it.

You could use material creation to create a garment or weapon.

It could also be used to create inanimate objects like tables, chairs, books, etc, depending on the user's proficiency in using the skill.

After analysing both Lunax's true body and my own body, which I stored in the『Soul World』, she was able to gather the necessary data needed to create a skill that can create a material body.

By using the subskill of my 『Ultimate Authority』 which is 『Essence Fusion』, she synthesised the skills into 『Material Creation』.

That's the history of it. Back to what I was saying, the body I gifted her was low legend grade.

I also gave her subordinates some low-level material bodies to use.

It would not be an overstatement to say that she worshipped me for doing so until I got mad.

*Sigh*

Those guys give me serious headaches.

Norana: 「Hey Sariel! I'm ready for the long-awaited spar session.」

Wait, seriously. I didn't see that one coming.

Lunax: 「Yes. I would also like to participate in the fight.」

Wow. I don't like where this is going.

Norana: 「Why don't we make it a handicapped match. Lunax and I against you. What do you think?」

Shit! I knew it! They were up to something, weren't they?

I've got to do something about it, or else it's gonna happen.

Lunax: 「I would also like that. You wouldn't mind, would you?」

Nobody! Not you, too. You planned this whole charade, right?

Damn it! I can't fight two primordial angels!

Especially when one of them possesses two ultimate skills.

「Notice. It is within the realm of possibilities that the individual Lunax possesses an ultimate skill.」

Great! It's just terrific! I'm pretty sure they have something against me.

I'm screwed. I couldn't even complete my bucket list of all things.

I'm such a trash character. Goodbye life, goodbye me, goodbye..... Sage-san.

「Notice. The individual Sariel is not dead and will not die. 」

Let a man rest in peace, Sage-san...

「....」

Sariel: 「A-Alright. Take it easy on me, okay?」

If I need to survive against these two, I'm gonna have to use both my skills and magic along with my newly created sword art.

Lunax: 「Don't worry about it. We will start tomorrow at this point in time and place.」

Saying that, she bowed and turned around to leave.

She exposed her pure white wing, which shone with a divine glow and flapped so hard that it created a gust of wind whilst flying away. It was a sight to see.

Norana: 「Right! I can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Make sure to be in top form for tomorrow's sparring session. Bye!」

Following Lunax's steps, she flew towards a different direction.

*Sigh*

Tomorrow is gonna be another hectic day, isn't it?

I hope things go well.
