The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 193: Live Battle

"Miss Vanessa, are you sure about this?" One of the saint’s servants asks me.

"Yes, I am," I tell him as he finishes equipping my special outfit designed to provide me with constant mana.

"Saint Rosaline, what do you think? Is it working?" I ask her about the outfit I’m wearing.

"Yes, it’s working, Vanessa..., but are you sure you really want to go face the Demon King alone? He’s very powerful, and we don’t know where he is it could be too problematic, we can’t afford to lose heroes."

"..."

"Don’t worry, Saint Rosaline, I’ll win this fight without any problems." It’s impossible for me to lose with an ability that makes everything I imagine come true.

"Besides, if there’s even the slightest chance of me losing, I can escape with teleportation."

"The Demon King doesn’t even have his full power it’s impossible for him to defeat me, who is max level and has a Cheat-type ability." I think they’re overstating a single being. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

If they had attacked sooner, they could have already eliminated the Demon King, but it’s good for me that I’ll be getting all the credits for this victory no other hero in history will compare to me, who defeated the Demon King alone.

’It won’t be at all difficult, after all, he’s a Demon King without max level, at most he should have the strength of an A-Rank.’ I’ve done a lot to reach the maximum level.

While the other heroes were going the academy route, I did it differently every night I used my unique ability to go kill monsters and reach max level.

At first, it was just to show off, but then I really thought about killing the Demon King alone. If I do this, I’ll be above any other hero, not to mention the rewards I’ll get for doing it.

It’s something that will put me on a top 1 pedestal that no one will ever reach I’ll be a legend.

"Saint Rosaline, why did the church decide to help?" They didn’t want to comply with my idea when I asked for support, why did they suddenly want to provide me with this armor?

"...the Pope thought better of it and really thinks you have a chance of winning, and as you said you’ll be broadcasting it, it’s good to know how the Demon King fights."

"But are you sure you want to broadcast this to the whole kingdom? And why go alone if you can locate the Demon King? You could at least go with a well-prepared team."

"The church is very unhappy with your selfishness in this situation, the chances of killing the Demon King with a group are greater." Saint Rosaline says with a frowning face.

"I don’t need help, besides, having people around will make me have to limit myself too much." I can very well win alone what can the Demon King do against a meteor? And against atomic bombs? I know you can defend against that with mana.

But I doubt the Demon King has enough mana to defend against those things, and if I have help when killing the Demon King, someone might end up stealing my glory.

I won’t let anyone else get the fame besides me, that’s why I’m going alone.

"Vanessa, it’s better if you don’t die, you know how hard it is to have heroes? Your ability would be very useful in the war, you better win this, understand!"

"Okay, Saint Rosaline, I know you and the church have already talked about this, what matters is the license and help you said you were going to give me." I roll my eyes at this boring sermon.

"Yes, everything is ready, Vanessa. If you win the fight against the Demon King, the church will help you create your own kingdom with your own license and approval for it to exist independently."

"Hehehe, wonderful, so where’s that weapon you’re going to give me?" I ask, expecting the staff that was promised to me.

"Vanessa, don’t forget the investment this is, it’s better you don’t lose both the staff and this outfit you’re wearing are equivalent to national treasures."

"The power boost from them is enormous, and this outfit provides you with so much mana that it would be equivalent to 3 times your current mana status, you better not lose it no matter what."

"And the staff gains mana by transfer the amount of people united to constantly provide you with mana is enormous, don’t humiliate the humans by losing this fight, especially with an audience watching everything."

"..." She spoke with a somewhat chilling seriousness, making it clear that public image is worth more than my life.

"I-I know, I won’t lose."

"Great, here it is." Saint Rosaline hands me a majestic golden and white staff with a large cross connected to a floating sphere.

"Oh, I already feel the power of this, it’s incredible!" I say as I swing the staff.

"Now tell me, Vanessa, how will you find the Demon King? Could you at least leave that method for the church to use in case you lose?"

"It’s a secret." I don’t want to reveal too much to the church, they’re a bit strange, so I’d rather keep everything to myself. I’m sure they want to steal some of the credit for this fight.

When I win, they’ll certainly be boasting about having provided essential items and all the support and blah blah blah.

But I don’t need their help, I just need to imagine something that even the Demon King can’t withstand my limit is how much mana I have, but with these items I have mana for anything.

"Is everything ready, Vanessa?"

"Yes, it is. I think I’ll go now, after all, the Demon King would never expect a surprise attack in the morning." I start activating the broadcasting equipment I created by imagining it.

It creates a large screen for the entire kingdom to watch my vision, the broadcast activates and I start speaking.

"Hello, everyone!!" I based this on online live streams.

"This is Heroine Vanessa, and I’m giving you all a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." I try to sound as cute and confident as possible.

"Today, I, Vanessa, will go down in history that’s right, I will go down in history as the first and only heroine to slay the Demon King alone. Today, you will have the pleasure of watching me fight against the Demon King."

If I had the help of the other heroes, the fame would be shared, and that’s something I’ll never accept I want it all for myself, and then I’ll rub my success in their faces.

"So please cheer for me as you watch this spectacle provided by me with some support from the church." I introduce Saint Rosaline, the vision in the broadcast follows in 3rd person, like a camera.

Of course, the broadcast is not just for me to show off anyone watching the broadcast can cheer for me, and cheering for me makes me gain more mana as a consequence of the broadcast modifications.

"And to show my purest honesty, this broadcast will happen continuously without any cuts. Are you all ready for this?"

"Saint Rosaline, do you have anything to say about this?" I pass the baton to her.

"Greetings, inhabitants of the kingdom. I ask that you please cheer for our heroine, who is going on this dangerous quest alone, even though the church has tried to provide a qualified team."

"!!!"

’Bitch!’ She just threw all the blame on me for going alone, so if something goes wrong, the church won’t be at fault, and if everything goes well, they’ll get credit for helping me with the equipment.

"...A-Anyway, let’s stop stalling, everyone. I’m going to start going after the Demon King right now." I activate an equipment I imagined. Strangely, finding the Demon King was super difficult, so the equipment for that cost a lot of mana.

Obviously, I made the equipment in advance. Unfortunately, many of them are one-time use, so as soon as the one to find the Demon King activates, it will break and create a portal that takes me to him.

"So, everyone, I’ve just found the Demon King, so remember the date, October 20th, the day the Demon King fell!" I say excitedly as the portal opens. As soon as I cross this portal, I will probably fight many demons.

That’s why I need to start creating something that will destroy the entire area, so in the end, I’ll only have to fight the Demon King.

I take a deep breath and enter the portal, soon I’m in a...

"Desert?" I look around, but the place is ’empty’ just a plain of sand. Soon I see a being meditating with closed eyes, floating a little above the sand.

"..." I look at the being, who can only be the Demon King pale skin, long black hair, and a bizarre aura like a monster overlaying the being in front of me.

It’s as if its aura has a form of its own, with eyes and fangs ready to devour everything in its path.

"...I was waiting for you," the Demon King says as she opens her eyes. The Demon King reminds me a lot of the Grand Duchess, but has differences in everything she has a bizarre aura, has a tail, and has a black and red halo around her head.

She stops meditating, stopping her floating and standing up, looking at me analytically.

’H-How did she know?’ She just said she was waiting for me, and there’s no one else around.

"H-Haha, of course she was waiting, after all, I’m so grand." I bluff so the kingdom’s inhabitants don’t think I’m scared. I don’t know how the Demon King found out, but it doesn’t matter.

The plan remains the same kill her and get the credit for it, thus becoming a queen in my own kingdom and having my own legend.

"Demon King, prepare yourself, I’ve come to kill you and..."

"Blah, blah, blah, I already know the whole script I’m evil, you’re good, I’m a Demon King, and you’re a hero, so you’re going to kill me with your justice. Could you at least have innovated the lines a bit, you know?" She speaks with obvious disdain.

"Let’s stop stalling? I’m wasting time here, you know I have things to do? I’m not an idiot like you." She insults me while having a strange look of pure hatred and disdain, as if I were trash.

"Y-You arrogant bitch, you’ll see!"
