Volume 2 Chapter 15 Iron Fist Punishment for the King
At the demon's castle.
The king, now a great demon, is sitting on the ground beneath my eyes.
"Ugh, uwaaaah!"
The king points at the corpses of the demons.
Did he use the ability of this one to create living corpses? The demon parts merge together.
They try to strike me as a giant demon arm.
"Huh..."
I activate Hand of God.
With my right hand, I punch the demon's arm away.
Bang...!
With a sound like a balloon bursting, the demon is blown away.
"Is it over already?"
"Higiiiiiiii!"
Looks like it's really over.
"Hey, king. This Hand of God has the power to heal living wounds, but it also has the power to destroy the wicked."
"S-so...?"
"I'm going to punch you with this fist. If you haven't become a wicked being in your heart, it shouldn't have any effect."
I strike the king's right cheek with my fist activated by Hand of God.
"Ugyaaaaaaah!"
With a sizzling sound, the king's cheek begins to melt.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
"So, you've really become a demon inside and out."
I swing my fist at the king.
Left cheek, body, arm...
With each touch, the king's body sizzles and melts away.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurtssss! Please stop!"
The king kneels, curling up and bowing his head.
"I apologize for exiling you! I'm sorry! So please calm your anger! I beg you!"
I... am truly astonished.
"Do you really think I'm angry because of that?"
"N-no? So, you came for revenge...?"
"...You really can't hear anyone's voice, can you?"
Now that I think about it, he was like this since I served in the palace.
He never listened to my words, and after I left, he ignored the voiceless cries of the beasts.
As a result, he brought ruin upon his own country.
"I told you before, right? I can't stand those who toy with others' lives for their own convenience..."
In response to the surge of emotions, the right Hand of God shines brightly.
The fact that I couldn't defeat the Evil Demon Lord in one strike shows just how strong that demon was.
To defeat it, I need a more powerful holy force.
"P-please stop! If you hit me with that, I'll dieeee!"
Trembling with a pale face, the king bows his head repeatedly.
"I-I haven't toyed with anyone's life unfairly! Beasts are tools for humans, and the Frost Dragon was our enemy! Demons and dragons are the same, right? Look! I've only harmed lives that aren't human!"
...Ah, it's no use anymore.
This guy looks down on all beings that aren't human.
He thinks lives other than his own don't matter.
"Don't mess with me... Humans, dragons, demons, and monsters, all lives are equal!"
Hummm...!
The Hand of God shines even brighter.
"No one in this world has the right to take the lives of those who live peacefully."
The dazzling light converges and settles in my right hand.
Then, a gauntlet made of condensed light is fitted onto my right hand.
"Please stop! I'm begging you! I'll reflect on this! I promise! Just spare my life!"
"A life that treats others' lives carelessly isn't worth saving."
I raise my fist and strike down with a blow condensed from the light of God against the king, now an Evil Demon Lord.
"No, please stop! I'm sorry, Sir Zeke! I won't defy you again! Please, oh god!"
My fist pierces the king's belly.
An explosion of light occurs, and the body of the Evil Demon Lord crumbles to pieces.
"Ughhhhhh!"
The Evil Demon Lord, receiving an immense amount of light that destroys evil, turns to dust and vanishes.
"If you want to reflect, do it in hell. Like a demon."
Phew, I let out a sigh.
The gauntlet on my right hand is released, returning to just a hand.
The elite squad of demons and the [dragons] turned into zombie dragons rushed towards me.
"Wow! To think you defeated the sealed Evil Demon Lord!"
"As expected of you, Demon Lord! Your power is amazing!"
"Thank you! Thank you for saving us!"

Meanwhile, the soul of the king who was destroyed by Zeke...
'W-where is this...? Where am I...?'
