The Time-Stop Breeding Uncle Want’s to Retire

Translator: FusionX

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

If you stay still, you’ll at least be average.

That had been my motto, but this time, staying still would have put me at a disadvantage.

I would have been caught in the fight between the true demons and the Royal Knights.

It would have been like a shrimp getting its back broken in a fight between whales.

So I chose my opponent and immediately withdrew.

Of course, a blood demon wasn’t an easy opponent either, but it was still preferable to getting caught in a fight with the true demons.

Before the other members could hear, I quickly took on the blood demon and left the frontline.

Although I was worried about the other members, I believed in them.

They would surely be able to win.

That was why I used time acceleration to leave the area.

Using the power of time acceleration, I broke through the castle wall and moved as far away as possible.

“What tremendous power. I couldn’t possibly resist it.”

“Huff, huff.”

“But it seems the price is quite steep?”

“Shut up.”

It seemed my choice had been correct.

There was no way a true demon-level being wouldn’t be able to resist time acceleration.

However, he seemed relaxed for some reason, chuckling and pointing at me.

Certainly, as he said, my situation wasn’t particularly good.

Although I had been able to somewhat mitigate the penalties through training since acquiring time acceleration…

Using time acceleration still caused internal injuries.

It was fortunate I had only used it briefly.

If I had used it longer or more frequently, I would have experienced my organs twisting like before.

“What exactly is your goal?”

The only reliable thing I had was time stop which was still on cooldown.

In that case, all I could do was buy as much time as possible.

I asked the question directly.

He smiled and answered.

“The complete annihilation of the Royal Knights.”

“You say that so casually.”

“Well, we’re putting our lives on the line too, you know.”

“Putting your lives on the line?”

“Yes, the two who came here with me are among the strongest of the demon race.”

So it was as I thought.

Their auras were all formidable, but the same was true for our side.

We had Commander Yuren and Cluna, who were among the strongest in history, not to mention the Royal Knights, and there were enough members to support them.

It wouldn’t be an easy fight, but I didn’t think they would lose.

So, I too had to do what I could.

“You’re quite greedy. Weren’t you satisfied with annihilating the Royal Knights last time?”

“Please don’t be so harsh. We’re taking quite a risk right now too.”

“If you hold too much in your hands, you might not be able to gain other things.”

“That’s good advice. That’s why we’ve rushed our plans, even if it’s reckless. To kill you all.”

This demon was unexpectedly cooperative in answering.

Thanks to that, I was able to buy as much time as possible, but at the same time, I was suspicious.

He was being too cooperative.

What exactly was he plotting?

“Hey, you. Why are you answering so readily?”

“Oh, that’s because I like you all.”

“You like us?”

“Yes~ Of course!”

The way he nodded with his hands clasped together was like watching a woman in love.

His tone, his behavior, it was strangely creepy.

He continued speaking with a smile.

“How can I not applaud your determination to struggle despite clearly seeing the outcome?”

“You’re insane.”

“That’s why I like to hear directly from you and remember as much as I can. When I see you, it feels like I’ve stepped into a novel!”

Was this provocation? Or was he being sincere?

Either way, it didn’t really matter.

I wasn’t originally from this world, so I had no reason to get angry at such words.

Rather, I was grateful for this approach.

I needed to buy as much time as possible due to the time stop cooldown.

This was why a mere blood demon wouldn’t do.

I laughed inwardly.

“So demons read novels too, it seems?”

“Of course! We are intellectual gentlemen, you know?”

“In that state?”

“My~ That’s too harsh.”

Although his manner of speaking was quite disgusting, his unexpectedly friendly attitude wasn’t bad at all.

Thanks to it, I was able to greatly reduce the cooldown.

I pointed my sword at him and said,

“I think this is enough for your reconnaissance, isn’t it?”

“I’d like to know a bit more though?”

“I’m not that interesting of a guy.”

“No, no. You’re plenty interesting.”

“You’re much more persistent than I thought.”

“Well, I’ve never talked this long with a human before.”

It was getting to the point where it gave me goosebumps.

That was the kind of atmosphere he had.

For a mere blood demon, he seemed surprisingly relaxed, but I guess it made sense since his opponent was me, not the other Royal Knights.

He could afford to be like this.

Thinking that, I immediately moved my body.

I tried to save time stop and time acceleration as much as possible.

He was just a blood demon after all, so I should be able to handle him with all the cards I had…

At that moment, my breath was suddenly cut off.

It felt like I had fallen into water.

I blinked.

This was undoubtedly the feeling of time being stopped, but why had it suddenly activated?

However, I soon realized the reason.

A blood-red spear that had sprouted from the ground was aiming for my heart.

I immediately threw myself to the side.

At the same time, I released time stop.

“Bravo! You didn’t die in one hit? As expected of the Royal Knights’ commander!”

“You crazy bastard!”

“You’re certainly living up to your name! Show me more!!”

I hurriedly observed his movements.

It seemed he was the type that could control blood.

However, I couldn’t tell where the blood was coming from.

He wasn’t directly bleeding…

But I soon figured out the principle.

Everything that touched his body was being converted into blood.

Grass, trees, soil, pebbles, everything without exception.

This was insane, how was this possible?

No matter how I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.

According to the settings, only true demons should have such godlike powers.

But this guy was a blood demon, no?

At that moment, he clapped his hands and said,

“Come to think of it, I don’t know your name?”

“I don’t know yours either.”

“Ah, right. I was interrupted earlier? Then let me introduce myself again!”

“What are you suddenly…”

“My name is Blood Demon. I humbly lead my group.”

“…”

He placed one hand on his chest and bowed his head to me.

Setting aside his excessively polite behavior, what did I just hear?

No, no, no, I must have heard wrong.

“Your name is Blood Demon?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

His attack stopped.

Perhaps because I showed disbelief.

Well, setting aside the cooldown issue for now, I needed to confirm this fact.

I desperately continued speaking.

“Is it the Blood Demon I know?”

“I think the meaning is similar.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, where should I start explaining from?”

This fucking bastard, he used the blood spear again while talking.

This time it came flying at my back where I couldn’t see.

If it weren’t for time stop, my heart would have been pierced right then.

“Oh! You even dodged that! Amazing!”

“…”

“Are you not angry?”

“You’re the enemy. It’s something you can certainly do.”

“Excellent! You really are different from the others!”

Damn, I really couldn’t let my guard down.

Even using everything I had built up so far, I could barely dodge his attacks.

At this rate, I might end up using time acceleration until I die.

“Let’s see, I should first talk about my values, right?”

“Values?”

“Yes, I can’t just ignore those who are pitiful.”

“Well, aren’t you a saint. So what?”

“It’s simple, I give them power.”

This was another unexpected bout of nonsense.

Give them power?

What does that have to do with your name?

I couldn’t continue speaking.

Once again, the blood spear was aiming for my life.

Shit, I couldn’t tell him to stop because we were enemies.

I had no choice but to focus on dodging his attacks as much as possible while concentrating on the conversation.

Blood Demon spoke as if he was talking to a friend.

“So that those poor souls who know nothing can achieve their goals, dreams, and ideals.”

“A demon giving power to others?”

“Yes! Of course! Comprachico, doppelgangers, they’re all demons completed in this way.”

“Then Blood Demon is…”

“It started with them calling themselves blood demons out of respect for me. Well, those now called lower demons were once called slaves or minions.”

So, those who received power from him escaped from being lower demons and came to be called Blood Demons?

And the reason that they called themselves that was out of respect for him?

“Then what exactly are you?”

“Though unworthy, I’ve been crowned as their king.”

“…”

Judging by his attitude, he wasn’t the type to hide it.

Rather, he was the type to proudly reveal it.

Then, was he trying to introduce himself earlier?

That his name was Blood Demon?

He was someone who could directly create Blood Demons.

Moreover, he had the power to turn anything he touched into blood.

There was no way such a being could be a mere Blood Demon.

He was definitely 100% a true demon or higher.

And yet the name of such a true demon was Blood Demon?

Hahaha.

Motherfucker.
