Demon Lord's Reincarnation

A man was sitting in a chair sharpening his sword. This man was huge and muscular, he had little mana, but what he lacked in mana he makes up with brute strength. With his strength alone he could crush boulders into dust. This man was none other than Iselv the Bandit King, ruler of Grenton's southern district.

Grenton's southern district was the place where thieves, slave traders and beggars live. This place was arguably the dirtiest part of Grenton, in the literal sense that it was dirty. Yet this was the place, where some nobles go to if they want to hire some goons to do their dirty work. So it has never been truly targeted before.

While the Bandit King was cleaning his sword, one of his subordinates suddenly entered his room in a panic.

"Boss! There's someone attacking all our hideouts!" Hearing what his subordinate said the Bandit King stopped cleaning his sword, and looked at his subordinate with a frown.

"Is it the knights? Have they finally decided to attack us? How many are there?"

"No Boss it's not the knights. It's someone else?"

"Is it that shadow b*stard? Or is it that succubus b*tch? Isn't their territory enough for them? Are they actually eyeing my territory?" The Bandit King's killing intent was on the rise.

"No it's neither one of them Boss, it's someone else."

"Another faction? How many men do they have?"

"Just one?"

"What?! One person?! Just one person and you're acting like a frightened kid?! How much damage could one person do?"

"He already f-" The subordinate was hit in the back of his head by the handle of a sword, and was rendered unconscious.

The Bandit King was now on high alert. Out of nowhere a blond haired kid suddenly appeared, and without any warning he knocked out his subordinate. The blond haired kid was Valdel who pretty much dealt with half of the Bandit King's hideouts, since he didn't know where the Bandit king was staying. He needed to check all the rumored hideouts to find him.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking my territory?" The Bandit King stood in front of Valdel showing off his bigger frame. Even though Valdel was pretty tall, the Bandit King still towered over him.

"I have no time to talk, since you claim this is your territory, then I assume you are the Bandit King Iselv."

"Hmph, arrogant little prick. I'm the Bandit King an-" Before he could finish what he was saying, Valdel moved with a speed the Bandit King couldn't follow, and was hit at the back of his head. The blunt force was strong enough to knock him out in one shot.

Valdel looked at the Bandit King and tried to suppress his rage at the evil doer.

"I would've killed you for all your crimes, but I guess the fate that awaits you, might lead you to the path of redemption." Valdel started to drag the Bandit King's large body.

...

On the third floor of a brothel, laid a voluptuous woman, whose beauty seems so enchanting. She was wearing a night gown that showed the wonderful curves of her body while relaxing on her bed.

This bewitching beauty is said to be able to ensnare any man. She was also a very capable mage, by the standards of the Reschbeauch Kingdom, she was an advanced level mage.

This beautiful fox-like bewitching woman was Kithra, also known as the succubus. She was part of the three rulers of Grenton's underworld. She controlled the Northern district, which was filled with brothels, bars, and illegal drugs.

While she was relaxing on her bed, she felt a huge mana flow coming up to her room. Still, she didn't feel like this was a threat since her own mana was much more than the opponents. Unknown to her the other party was actually suppressing the output of her mana. This was none other than Lara.

When Lara arrived at Kithra's room, she with her expressionless face looked at Kithra for a moment.

"Oh? What a beautiful young girl. Are you here to look for a job? With your abilities, you might become second only to me, Kithra-" The moment Lara heard Kithra announce her name, she was about to use a spell.

Kithra noticed that Lara was gathering mana, so she readied herself to counter whatever spell Lara would use, but unfortunately for her Lara used an unknown spell that was taught by Ren.

"[Ice coffin]."

Kithra was suddenly encased in ice, she was still conscious but she couldn't move. She tried to escape by using her own mana to overpower Lara's spell but it was to no avail. Using the elements of the wind, Lara lifted Kithra who was encased in ice and headed towards the western district where Ren was.

...

While Valdel and Lara were heading towards Ren's location. Ren was having some fun with his opponent. His opponent was the strongest of the three rulers of Grenton's underworld. He was the best assassin in the whole kingdom. If he wanted to he could take over the other two districts, but since he didn't care for that, he never did anything.

This man was called Gregory, the shadow. He was only slightly older than Ren being twenty years old this year. He wasn't a bad assassin, believe it or not, he would only take the job if the targets were corrupt. Though he wasn't wholly good either, since he waits for someone to pay him to kill evil.

He was just lazing around waiting for the next job, when suddenly a crazy b*stard told him to hand over the western district. The moment Gregory denied him, he suddenly smiled and attacked.

Gregory was lucky enough to escape, but now as he blended into the shadows, he was waiting for an opportunity to strike. The opportunity already presented itself several times, but he didn't attack. All of his instincts told him that those openings were traps. After a while of waiting Ren started to get irritated.

"Damn it! This is why I hate fighting against assassins! If you do not show yourself I will destroy the whole western district until not even ashes remain."

Feeling the sudden rise of a suffocating amount of mana, Gregory knew that Ren wasn't bluffing. In the end he showed himself in front of Ren.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Finally showed yourself. I don't want to fight you anymore since it's boring, but won't you just hand me your position as the leader of Grenton's western district."

"What do you plan to do? You do know I'm the only assassin in the western district, and the only reason they call me the ruler of this place is because of those two idiots. The people in the western district are just using my name, to scare the two bosses of the Northern and the southern districts."

"I don't care if you have subordinates or not, I just want the title of the ruler of Grenton's western district. I guess I should tell you this, I plan to become the one and only ruler of Grenton's underworld."

"Really? Unlike me, the other two have a bunch of subordinates, and they won't willingly bow down to you." Gregory shrugged his shoulders at Ren's statement.

"Well, why don't we ask them." Ren slyly smiled as he pointed at his two approaching friends.

Gregory who saw the Bandit King being dragged around by a blond-haired boy, and the succubus encased in ice, was stunned by the sight, as he dryly gulped.

"Heh, I guess conquering Grenton's underworld, was easier than I expected." Gregory looked at the smiling Ren in a daze. That smile on the face of the young man was the most frightening thing he would ever remember in his whole life.
