Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

A lot of students came rushing on the square, wondering what it was all about.

“Russam is fighting Tom.”

“Who the fuck is Tom?”

“The new kid. He is the son of that person.”

“Conquerer of the West?”

“Yes, that one. Serves him right. Russam will beat his ass. He is at the top 15th for a reason.”

Russam stood calmly, gazing at the blade like it was a simple stick.

Tom squinted his eyes. Most people would react shocked the moment they saw his blade. But Russam was as calm as water. And Tom did not sense any fear within his eyes either. It was still jealousy and hesitation.

“Russam,” Tom called. “Are you perhaps… jealous of me?”

The students’ expression looked weird after they heard Tom said that statement. Why in the world would someone like Russam be jealous of Tom?

Russam came from a wealthy and influential family. He was one of the best student in Withokere University. He was born with great talent. He already had everything in life!

Russam laughed. “Why do you think so?”

“I just feel it from you.”

Russam smiled. “Indeed. I am jealous of you.”

The students gasped. Even Zerdar looked at the two of them and didn’t know what to think of this situation. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ

“Why?” Tom asked.

Russam looked at Tom carefully. “I am actually not sure myself. I got this feeling that you have something I don’t.”

“Aren’t you the guy that has everything?”

“No… not everything.”

“Wealth, influence, looks, talent. What more can you ask other than that?”

“What about somebody to love?”

Tom widened his eyes. Was this man for real?

“Somebody to love…? You have got to be kidding, right? Who don’t want to be your partner?”

A man like Russam could get any girl he wanted. So this was nonsense to Tom.

Zerdar finally realized something. He approached Tom and whispered. “Tom, it’s actually an open secret that Russam liked Miss Claudia.”

“Ahh… so that’s why.”

Tom looked at Russam. ‘What a pathetic kid. Fighting me because his crush give me more attention.’

“Senior Russam. Let’s fight for real. I will fight with my full power.”

“Are you sure?”

“I know you wanted to do it,” Tom said.

Russam smiled. “Alright.”

He reached out with both hands and then clapped. The clap produce an explosive sound and suddenly a complete set of green jade armor covered Russam from head to toe.

Three green spikes were etched on the shoulders, and a pair on the elbow. Russam looked like a warrior of jade on the battlefield.

Raising his hand above his hand, a shining nunchaku appeared and landed on his palm.

“That’s his Great Jade Armor, and Glowing Nunchaku. Russam is fighting that kid for real!”

“Is he planning to kill him?”

“Killing is forbidden, but a man like Russam might get away with it.”

“It’s not the first time someone get away with murder in this university, so we might see someone die today.”

Tom also opened his inventory and selected his Armor of Agility. Armor of Agility was the one Corduul, Dobbs, and the others made for him. It could increase his speed by 1000% and could even revert time in the surrounding area by 3-5 second.

Though he was told that it might not work as effectively in the new continent because the quality and quantity of the mana here was much different back home which affect the tech a bit.

The black armor wrapped around Tom. With the devilish Phantom Doomblade in his hand, Tom looked like a fully-geared demon king.

Tom’s aura completely changed when he wore the armor. Even Russam could feel it.

The students took some steps back, enlarging the circle, they used as arena.

Tom and Russam circled one another on the brick.

Russam took one step forward, standing in his unique battle stance; both hands on the nunchaku, palm pointing towards the enemy, arms all the way extended.

Tom could care less about battle stance. It was simply a stance. But he wanted to look cool, so he figured a battle stance of his own. Right leg pulled back, both hands on the handle of the blade, with the tip of the Phantom Doomblade pointing towards the enemy. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Russam attacked first, taking a hopping leap forward and striking by whipping his nunchuk over his shoulder, then down to his right in a powerful blow, delivering the most possible momentum and strength behind the strike.

Tom found the attack stupid and slow. With his agility armor, his speed increased exponentially and he managed to jumped back out of the way.

To the onlookers, it looked like as if Tom was teleporting, but it was simply his speed.

“Did he used teleportation?”

“Impossible. There are anti-teleportation spells here.”

Russam looked at the armor with gleaming eyes. “You have so many treasures that even I would want to have. And that treasure seemed like it was made by your father as well.”

“Not really, but you can say that.”

Russam scoffed.

“It’s my turn now, Senior.” Tom rushed forward. The armor enhanced his legs, giving him the speed and nimbleness that defied the physical law that would require a fine control over magic. Even High Diamond Rank magician could not increase their speed this much.

In a blink of an eye, Tom arrived right in front of Russam, roaring as he swung his blade precisely at his left vambrace, cracking the forearm plate.

Tom attacked again, his speed twice as fast than before, and scored a hit on Russam’s left thigh.

Russam was overwhelmed by the speed, but after a few seconds he began to see the pattern and danced his way to dodge all the attack.

Despite wearing thick, bulky armor that weighed over ten thousand elephants, his movement was quick and elegance. He didn’t even see Tom attacking, in fact, Russam was closing his eyes as he dodged all of the attack!

“What in the hell???”

Even Tom was quite enraged by this. His attack was avoided and dodged. Russam moved far earlier before he even attack. And even when he made some feign, Russam still manage to avoid him.

This wasn’t just strength anymore… it’s a mastery!

“Russam is amazing. He dodged all of that attack while closing his eyes.”

“Of course, he is good. He is the 15th top student of this university.”

“He is beyond everyone’s expectation.”

Zerdar heard their conversation. He was impressed by Russam’s performance, but these people were looking at things wrongly.

Instead of looking at how well Russam dodged those attacks, look at how Tom didn’t even let Russam counter-attacking.

Some people began to notice that and they spoke.

“Wait, but why is Russam on the defensive? Shouldn’t he be the one attacking instead?”

“Russam might be able to dodge the attacks, but he is still on the defensive side. He couldn’t even counter-attack.”

“Does this mean Tom is stronger than Russam?”

Everyone was silent. How could Tom, a new kid, be stronger than the top 15th student.

And yet the fact was in front of their eyes. It was Tom who pro-actively attacking, not giving a chance for Russam to retaliate.

As they fought, five hidden figures appeared in the sky. They were invisible to everyone else.

They looked old yet powerful with their gray beard flowing down majestically.

Their body were exuding an extremely powerful aura, but they manage to kept it hidden. If they were to appear, every living being would have felt their presence.

“Is that his son?”

“He’s quite good for his age.”

“Bah, he’s even better than you were. At his age, you didn’t even reach mid Diamond Rank.”

“More importantly, is he on our side?”

“The king said not to kill Aldred and his son.”

“Can we trust this Aldred?”

“He send his son right in our doorstep. He’s sending a message that we can trust him. It’s very hard for Diamond Ranks and above to create offspring.”

“What if this isn’t his son?”

“No. I can sense it. His looks, smells, aura, and even blood is identical. There’s almost no difference. This kid is truly Aldred’s son.”

“Is Aldred still in his territory.”

“Yes, he always stay in his throne room talking with with that metallic man.”

“Why did the king agreed for this? Killing a noble is a major crime.”

“Aldred offered the king his full loyalty. He said that he will even wage war with the Divine Empire of Stotford to prove it if necessary. Of course, the king doesn’t let him do that, and instead told him to send his golem army to Ber.”

“And did he keep his promise?”

“He did. He sent 300,000 golems to Ber, and our territory is expanding every single day.”

“300,000 golems… it must have taken him years to create this many. Aldred really wanted to serve the Kingdom. We should give him our appreciation for that.”

One of them nodded in approval. “He even rented his Platinum Rank golems at a cheap rate to every nobles and merchants in the kingdom. Currently, the kingdom is having a large amount of manpower. Production increase while the cost become much cheaper.”

“He is improving the economy of the kingdom by himself. We should protect him.”

The old man looked at Tom. “And his son.”
