Cho Jigen no Maou Vol 1 Chapter 5

As Saneko and Pikku left the village, Pikku struck up a conversation with Saneko about her magic abilities. She was curious about how Saneko could do all these amazing things.

"Saneko, your magic is so powerful. How do you use it?" Pikku asked.

Saneko smiled and looked at Pikku. "Well, my abilities are a result of becoming the Demon King," she replied. "I was transported to another realm, and I stumbled upon a throne that made me harness the soul of the Demon King. From that point on, I had access to all sorts of magic abilities."

Pikku's eyes widened in surprise. "You were just a normal human before?"

"Yes, I was," Saneko said with a nod. "But now, I can use any magic ability that I need to protect this realm."

Pikku was amazed by Saneko's power. "That's incredible. But how do you know which ability to use in any given situation?"

Saneko thought for a moment before replying, "I just somehow know. Perhaps the Demon King's kowledge was also tranfered into me." Pikku nodded in understanding. "That makes sense. I'm still learning about my own magic abilities, but I hope to be as skilled as you one day."

Saneko and Pikku continued their journey through the Hyper-World, the cool breeze blowing through their hair. As they walked, Saneko noticed that Pikku was rather young, and wondered where her parents were.

"Hey Pikku," Saneko said, breaking the silence. "Where are your family? You're pretty young to be wandering around the Hyper-World by yourself."

Pikku's expression grew sadder as she replied, "I was sealed into the Hyper-World at a young age by the Lord of Heavens. He went on a rampage, destroying many universes and sealing people in different dimensions. My parents were sealed in another world, and I haven't seen them since."

Saneko then asked, "Who is this Lord of Heavens you speak of?"

Pikku explained, "He's a powerful sorcerer who was once a respected member of the Magic Council. But he became corrupted by his own power and went mad, causing destruction wherever he went. He was the one that killed the Demon King many years ago."

Saneko was shocked to hear that the Lord of Heavens could kill the Demon King, as she thought that she was the most powerful being in the Hyper-World. "Pikku, do you mean to tell me that there are beings more powerful than the Lord of Heavens?" Saneko asked in disbelief.

Pikku nodded slowly. "Yes, I have heard stories of beings who are said to be even more powerful than him. But I have never met any of them, so I cannot say for sure."

Saneko's eyes widened with excitement. "I can't wait to face off against them! The challenge will be thrilling." She smiled wickedly, the prospect of a challenge bringing a gleam to her eyes.

Pikku looked at Saneko with concern. "But Saneko, if they are more powerful than the Lord of Heavens, won't they be able to defeat you?"

Saneko turned to Pikku with a determined look on her face. "Pikku, the Demon King has been reborn," she said. "I am the new Demon King. Even though I don't remember my past life, I know that I am more powerful than any other mage in this realm."

Pikku looked at Saneko with a mixture of admiration and concern. She knew Saneko was a powerful and skilled magic user, but she also knew that there were limits to what even the most powerful beings could do. She just hoped that Saneko didn't get in over her head.

Saneko and Pikku were walking through the Hyper-World when they suddenly felt the ground shaking beneath their feet. Pikku clutched onto Saneko's arm, fear etched onto her face. "What's happening?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Saneko's expression was grim as she scanned the area. "I'm not sure," she replied, her eyes narrowing. Then she spotted it, a stampede of demonic beasts charging towards them.

Pikku couldn't help but feel scared as she watched the beasts closing in on them. Saneko, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. She used an ability that allowed her to passively count the number of beasts - 5,387.

The beasts got closer, moving at an unstoppable rate. Pikku was crying, thinking that they would be killed. As the beasts closed in on them, Saneko swiped her hand, and all of the beasts instantly fell dead on the ground, their souls erased by Saneko.

Pikku noticed that the beasts had been killed. "How did you do that?" she asked, still trembling slightly.

Saneko simply shrugged. "It's just one of my abilities," she said nonchalantly. "I can manipulate souls and erase them."

"You're incredible!" Pikku exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration.

Saneko gave a small smile. "Thank you," she said. "But we can't stay here. Who knows what else is out there."

Pikku nodded, still in shock from the display of power she had just witnessed. She realized that Saneko was quite literally an unstoppable force.
