I turn around to leave but a voice calls out from behind.

..Wait..bastard

Zepes tries to unsteadily get up but his body is too wounded so he crawls on the ground.

You can be saved if you get treated immediately. Give up.

Ha. To inherit the blood of the founder but not being able to deliver the finishing blow to an enemy. to think such a thing is to bring disgrace to this demon king tribe.

Does the demon king tribe mean they inherited the blood of the demon king?

I didnt inherit any skills though since Im the founder.

Stop talking so much. Youll die.

Kill me.

Hmmm. A small fry like you is not worth killing.

Whats his problem?

Ha! You cant do it, can you? Then you fail. Try to make me give up if you can. Even if I die, I wont give up!!

I can make him give up if I order him to but.

I know what youre thinking. Youll use compulsion magic on me. Thats fine. Try it. I wont give up!! Haahaahaa.fuhahahahah!! Gah!

I stamp on Zepes head pushing his face into the stone floor.

Yare yare. Youre too full of yourself. Such an odd sense of superiority youve got.

He did say one interesting thing though.

If I dont use compulsion magic I cant make you give up was it?

Ha..its true.you piece of shit!

Even with me standing on his head Zepes is still talking big.

Hmm. Youre pretty amusing. Very well. Its my victory if I make you give up without using compulsion magic and you win if I cant.

Haaa? You sure? You sure do talk big. Even if I die I wont give up!

I blink my eyes and invoke the magic contract

If I can make Zepes give up without using compulsion I win and if not he wins is written down.

Contract is absolute. The contract is signed with the users magic power. It is impossible to change the contract.

Zepes signs it without hesitation.

Youre an idiot. No matter how much you hurt me I wont give up. At best Ill feel sorry for you. Hyahahahahaha!

I place my forefinger near Zepes forehead.

Oh? Whats that going to d-

I flick his forehead with my finger.

Gah.

Zepes whole body disappears.

Oops? I thought Id reduced the power enough. Did he die?.I see.

Yare yare. This is my loss.

I guess theres no help for it.

I cut the tip of my index finger with my nail and let a single drop of blood fall.

Resurrection magic.

Zepes whole body is rebuilt and comes back to life.

His armour and sword were a little bit more difficult.

Wha!.. Whats that magic? The dead Zepes revived!!

He brought the dead back to life! Such magic surpasses common sense!!

Why are they surprised? The spectators are getting noisy over Zepes being revived. If I couldnt use this magic, death would really mean death.

Wha..I

Zepes looks at me with a confused face

Hows it feel dying once? Feel like giving up yet?

Id.idiot.whos giving upgya!

I flick his forehead and he dies again.

Oops, I killed him again. Oh well. As long as its within 3 seconds, Resurrection can bring him back without any risk. Its the 3-second rule.

The silence from the arena washed over me like a wave.
