Chapter 177 If you have no ability, what are you bragging about?
Barnier did not underestimate Broly. Since Wiz had already told him that the boy was a disciple of the goddess, then this boy with the special hobby of necrophilia should have corresponding excellent qualities.
He is likely a hero who was reincarnated from another world by the goddess. Judging from the fact that most heroes who were reincarnated by the goddess in the past had special abilities or items, he must also have something special about him.
However, reincarnated heroes are not uncommon, and as the Duke of Hell, there are only seven of them in Hell, and he is the leader of the seven great demons, making him the most powerful of all the great demons.
Even though he was just an avatar in this world, and his power was severely restricted, Barnier was still confident in his abilities.
Over the years, only that old demon king has possessed comparable strength to himself. The old demon king here does not refer to the current demon king, Yasaka Kyoichi, but to the hero who was reincarnated into this world in the past. However, he eventually joined the demon king's army, married the female demon king at that time, and became the new demon king.
However, that was a long time ago. My old friend, who had a lifespan limit, is now buried with grass growing on his grave countless times over.
Given that he had rarely encountered his opponents, Barnier was very confident of his victory.
He was already prepared. After dealing a blow to the boy and making him his contractor, He used Wiz as bait to lure him in and cause him to generate a constant stream of negative emotions.
For example, you could give the other person a task that's easy to accomplish, and then promise them that if they succeed, you'll allow them to marry Wiz.
However, at crucial moments, they deliberately sabotage the other party's plans to accomplish something, thereby gaining a sense of frustration.
Alternatively, you could provoke the other person to anger and then absorb their anger.
In short, Barnier already had a series of ideas for extracting various negative emotions from the boy next to him, but he would have to wait until he defeated the boy next to him and obtained his personal freedom before he could actually carry out the extraction.
"For Wiz's sake, I'll reiterate one last time: once you, brat, sign this bet on your personal freedom with me, you must honor the agreement if you lose."
"But if you even consider breaking the contract, the consequences will be extremely severe. We will drag you into hell and make you suffer terribly there!"
Barnier's eyes glowed red as he gave Broly a final warning.
"Stop scaring people like that, Mr. Barnier. I know you're a ruthless non-killer, and you're probably just trying to frighten Broly and extract his fear from the child, aren't you?"
Miss Lich interrupted her directly.
"No, Wiz, can you please stop sabotaging me?!"
The Duke of Hell was furious that his purpose had been exposed. He had thoroughly enjoyed Broly's malice earlier and wanted to try something different by inducing him.
"Eh, a policy of non-killing?"
Broly looked at the Lich Lady with curiosity.
According to Mr. Barnier, He sees humans as objects to produce delicious food, so He never kills humans.
When I was with Him before, I would occasionally see Him act as a human being troubled by monsters, personally taking action to resolve the monsters that threatened humanity…”
Wiz explained, and it was from that moment that her opinion of Barnier, the Duke of Hell, changed.
They interpreted the great demon's previous harassment of their team as merely toying with them, rather than intending to eliminate them.
"For demons, the negative emotions that humans experience while they are alive are the freshest and most delicious food."
Although the soul of a dead person can also generate negative emotions, these negative emotions are similar to leftover food.
Is fresh, delicious food better, or leftovers?
When Barnier saw Broly looking at him with a questioning gaze, he offered an explanation and asked a question in return.
"Of course, fresh and delicious food is the best."
Broly answered without hesitation.
"That's right. If that's the case, why should we kill humans who could originally make fresh and delicious food, turning them into undead who can only make leftovers?"
This is why Barnier doesn't kill humans and even actively protects them.
"Um?"
When Barnier saw Broly's approving expression, he sensed something was off and said in a calm voice, "You brat, don't think I'm a good person just because of this."
"To let humans live and then cut off their limbs—such cruel things are things we are capable of doing!"
People who enjoy delicious food can't be all bad.
Broly had a different opinion, believing that Barnir was a good devil.
When both sides wanted to eliminate the other party to settle their score, the other party offered an even simpler way to resolve the issue.
All you need to do is defeat the opponent to easily break their contract with Wiz. If he weren't a good demon, would he offer such a convenient wager?
Barnier: "..."
He was simply uninterested in the despair and pain of humanity, which is why he didn't torture the living. But why did the other party seem to see right through him and not do anything so outrageous? Could it be that the little devil in front of him also has the ability to see a thousand miles?
"Kid, remember what you said. You'll regret it later."
Despite losing the game, Barnier still made some tough remarks.
After Broly signed the bet, the Saiyan, the lich, and the demon left the town of Axel together.
If it were a one-on-one fight, there was no way they could fight in the town. After leaving the city gate, the three of them traveled to a plain far from Axel before stopping.
"This is the perfect spot; even if we make a commotion, no one will notice."
Barnier was very satisfied with the place.
"Actually, even being closer to a town would be fine."
Broly didn't care; he felt he could win easily.
"Ha, so you can already foresee your own impending failure?"
"It's your failure."
"Arrogant brat."
Barnier said something unpleasantly and walked to the other side.
He stood facing Broly, about five or six meters away.
"So, are you both ready for this fight that will cost you your freedom?"
Wiz, always eager for drama, stood at the center line and acted as the referee.
Of course, she also has the identity of a bettor.
"certainly."
"I can start anytime."
"Then, I declare this duel open!"
The battle began, but neither Broly nor Barnil moved.
"What, the real battle has begun, and you're too scared to move?"
"No, I just feel that you are a good demon no matter what, and it would be a bit unfair to just knock you out."
I once organized a beauty pageant, and Master Aqua said that we should respect every talented performer who works hard, and that hard-working people should not be ridiculed.
I think even a hardworking devil should be respected.
Come on, let your performance begin.
"Once you've finished your performance, I'll end this fight instantly."
Broly spoke modestly, gesturing for Barnier to go ahead and display his fighting skills.
"Haha, don't take the joke too far. It's a bit embarrassing for a super boss like me to challenge a brat like you."
You actually want us to experience something even more humiliating, and you even want to take the initiative when bullying a brat like you.
Please, we don't want other demons to find out about this and we'll be labeled as a despicable demon who strikes first when dealing with children.
So, if you don't want to attack first, we can stay here and slowly wear you down, and see who falls first!
Even the demons of hell care about their reputation, and Barnier didn't want to bear the shameful reputation of "bullying children and attacking first."
Seeing that Barnier was also determined not to make the first move, Broly scratched his head. When he came out, Aqua had told him to go home early and help pack the mixed cabbage into the earthenware jar.
"In that case, I'll make the first move."
"Bring it on! I'll easily block your attacks and pin you to the ground, making you cry in agony!"
Seeing Barnier's confidence, Broly slightly increased the level of power he would use.
The next instant, he was standing in front of Barnier.
As Barnier had predicted, unlike other creatures who would be completely unable to react as if time had stopped in their presence, this Duke of Hell's gaze actually followed his movements.
But he could only keep up with the visuals; in Broly's eyes, Barnier's movements were still as slow as a snail's pace, and it was impossible for the other to stop his attack.
Just as Barnier raised his hand, Broly's little fist struck him in the stomach first.
In the real world with normal time flow, Barnier would have just finished speaking with absolute confidence when Broly slapped him in the face the very next second.
Broly was severed at the waist and abdomen, and his entire upper body was blown away by the wind pressure generated by Broly's small body at high speed.
This scene left Broly somewhat confused; a guy who boasted so much had actually been defeated so easily.
At least, in the dream, Darkness only suffered a broken rib from his punch, but the other party...
[They bragged like crazy, but their record is 0-5], [I haven't even used my full strength, how come you've already fallen?]...
A lot of information flashed through my mind, but in the end it all boiled down to one sentence: "If you're not capable, what are you bragging about?"
