Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 452 - Why?

Kor slowly opened his eyes as his consciousness was slowly returning. The first thing he did when he woke up was to take a look at the condition of his body. To his surprise the wounds he had sustained were gone, his broken bones were mended, and the only problem he had was the feeling of excessive blood loss, aside from that he was fully healed. As he was growing confused by his situation someone suddenly spoke.

"Brother, you're finally awake!" Kor looked at this side and saw Mir. Kor was surprised that Mir was inside the room all along and was right there beside him. The thing that surprised Kor the most was the fact that he didn't notice Mir's presence despite him just being there.

"Are you alright?" When Kor heard what Mir said he looked at him blankly for a second before answering.

"… yeah, I'm alright… What happened?"

"Don't you remember?"

"I remember getting hit by that human, but after that, it's all a blank… I see… I lost didn't I?" When Mir heard what his brother said and saw the depressed look on Kor's face, he immediately shook his head. Tears almost fell from Mir's eyes as he tried his hardest to control himself.

"No, that's wrong, brother how could you have lost? There's no way that you have lost! Even while beaten up, barely breathing, and unconscious you still remained standing. You have shown that powerful human your pride and your will to stand up for your ideals. The human even said that it was your victory and that he will honor his promise."

Seeing how passionate his brother was as he replied to him made Kor open his eyes wide open. After his initial surprise, Kor finally calmed down and so did Mir. Kor then lowered his head as his lips curled upwards.

'That human could do whatever he wanted with his power, yet he would still honor the promise he made with me. As I thought, the world isn't such a bad place as long as one is willing to listen.'

…

In a different room from Kor and Mir, was the room Ren, Valdel, and Lara were staying, in that room, the three childhood friends were having a conversation. Well, Ren and Valdel were talking while Lara was gorging herself on food as an attendant stood behind her. The attendant was there just in case the three needed something.

"I didn't expect you to do that Ren."

"You didn't expect me to do what, to attack him? We've known each other for so long now, and you still don't understand how I operate."

"I'm not really surprised that you attacked him, anyone who knows you even for just a short while would know you would do that. It's pretty obvious that you would attack since all you know is to fight. I'm pretty sure that your brain is just filled with only fighting in mind."

"Are you actually calling me an idiot?"

"Well, idiot is such a strong word, you aren't really one since I know that you do have some complex thoughts every now and then, but I guess you are sometimes."

"Ever since we've arrived here you seem to be pretty intent on provoking me, Val." Ren stood up from his seat as his battle intent was rising. On the other hand, Valdel remained in his seat without any intention of moving as he sighed.

"You see, this is why I said that your head is only filled with fighting. Well, anyway back to what I was saying. What I was surprised about was not the fact that you attacked, but the fact that you actually held back. Don't you usually show your respect to a warrior that you fancy by going all out?"

Seeing that Valdel wasn't going to play with him Ren sat back down showing a little displeasure on his face as he replied.

"I didn't want to go all out since if I did so the game wouldn't be fair. At my current level, most of the people would be pulverized by my all-out attack, so giving him that kind of challenge wouldn't be fun nor fair for both of us. So instead I attacked with enough power I was sure would make him fall, or if he was unlucky kill him. I attacked him so many times at the beginning that I was certain that I had a good grasp of what his limits were, I even took into account if he could somehow overcome those limits during the fight. Yet despite going that far, that guy, Kor was able to surpass even my imagination. He truly showed me how far he was willing to stand for his ideals."

As Ren was explaining the reason why he did what he did, he was once again reminded of Kor and was getting excited. That fight was the first time he experienced something like that. Even in his past life, no even thinking about the lives of his past incarnations that he knew of, that was the first time an opponent just took his hits without doing anything. Even the ORIGIN would have done something in retaliation. Seeing Ren's reaction Valdel frowned.

"So you were that impressed by him?"

"Oh, what's this, are you perhaps jealous?"

"Huh?"

"Don't worry Val, the guy might be interesting but I won't replace you as my best friend."

"Who the f*ck says I'm jealous?" Valdel finally lost his composure and stood up from his seat. Seeing his reaction just made Ren smile even more.

"Aren't you?"

"That's it since you're asking for it," Valdel suddenly punched Ren who blocked the strike. "Since it seems like your not thinking straight, a few whacks in the head should fix the problem."

"So you're finally in the mood to play a bit."

The two then began fighting in the room, exchanging punches without using mana. Yet even with just their pure physical abilities, the room was being destroyed. As that was going on, Lara wasn't bothered at all and continued to happily eat her meal, while the attendant was hiding behind Lara's back frightened by what was happening in front of her.

"Hey, can you bring more food?" When the attendant heard what Lara said she almost cried.
