The distance between the Demon lord and I rapidly shrunk and our katanas clashed.
In that moment!
【Vigilance】magic informed me of『Danger』.
I was going to take the Demon lord’s katana head-on but hurriedly canceled it and switched into a parry.
I managed to parry the Demon lord’s powerful katana, changing its trajectory and barely dodging it.
But, the replica sword which was struck by the Demon lord’s katana,
had slightly chipped.
If I took it just like that, it would surely be broken.
The gap between our weapons is enormous……
Afterwards, I continued to avoid the Demon lord’s attack one way or another.
But, for some reason, I can’t move my body well.
With two superimposed spell–【Magic power reinforcement・Quick】and【Magic power reinforcement・Movement speed reinforcement】–raising my speed too high.
Thereby, with only moving normally, various problems have occurred.
First, the ground.
Whenever I step a foot forward, the ground under my foot will be hollowed out and disappeared if I didn’t hardened my foothold with【Earth magic】.
It was as though running on『mud』.
Then, the air.
When I tried to move at high speed, the air coiled about my body. It was as though struggling in a starch syrup.
Lastly, my body.
The bones, tendons and muscles couldn’t withstand the movement and were screaming.
Can’t I do something about it with magic?
I hardened the ground using Earth magic.
I manipulated the earth by feeling similar to that of running with spiked shoes on the tartan track’s hard rubber for athletics.
I let the air flow smoothly according to my body’s movement with【Wind magic】.
I manipulated the wind by lowering the prior atmospheric pressure to assist my body’s movements using the air’s suction force instead of overwhelming my body with wind.
I strengthened my body using【Body reinforcement magic】.
I strengthened the bones and tendons with【Endurance reinforcement】to withstand the movements,
and continued to steadily heal the piled up fatigue on the muscles using【Strength recovery rate reinforcement】.
By being conscious of each properly, I was able to gradually improve my movements.
『【Earth magic】is now Level 4.
【Wind magic】is now Level 5.
【Body reinforcement magic】is now Level 4.』
Uwa!
Some of my magic leveled up in one go.
As expected, I level up quickly when fighting against powerful enemies.
「What is it!? Your movements suddenly improved!?」
Demon lord was also surprised that my movements are improving.
「But, it cannot fill in the gap between our weapons’ ability.」
It’s exactly as the Demon lord says.
Because of the gap between our weapons, I can’t take his katana with my katana and can only avoid it.
Can’t I do something about this with magic as well……?
While fighting, I used【Appraisal】on myself to look for a breakthrough solution.
When I saw it suddenly,【Earth magic】had become level 4 and a new magic called【Metal control】was now available.
Can’t the impact during the moment when I receive the Demon lord’s katana be absorbed using【Metal control】the same way as when I kick the ground?
But, the Replica sword will break if it fails.
Well, I will manage somehow.
The moment I received the Demon lord’s katana with the replica sword!
Like a shock-absorbing mat which an egg would not break even if it was dropped from a high place―
I received the Demon lord’s sword with the Replica sword using【Metal control】.
My Replica sword and the Demon lord’s sword―
clashed with a『guniyu』.
The Demon lord was surprised at the unpleasant feeling and jumped back.
「W-, What did you do!? What was that strange feeling?」
「C’mon, what do you think?」
When I smiled broadly,
the Demon lord had a look of extreme hatred.
After that, our swords clashed for a while,
and *gunyu gunyu* sounds resounded.
What on earth is this? orz
Proper sword? I reached the point of being able to receive it and thanks to that, I could finally fight equally.
『【Sword Art】is now Level 5.』
I did it, Sword Art leveled up!!
Rather than a fight it had become a matter of skill.
I took a distance for a moment,
and after the【Replica sword】was put back into the inventory,
the【Mithril sword】was taken out.
「Why did you change your weapon!?」
「Iyaa, I was already proficient enough with the katana.」
「You’ve been playing until now!!?」
*Clank!*
My Mithril sword and the Demon lord’s katana clashed and a high-pitched metallic clank rang out.
「The sound of battle must sound like that.」
「I agree on that as well.」
After that, a good metallic clank reverberated with *clank clank* for a while.
『【Sword techniques】is now Level 5.』
I did it!
Skill up is a success once again!
As expected, skills can’t advance beyond this, huh.
「Now then, play time is over.」
「Don’t fool around!」
Like that, I’ve begun to overwhelm the Demon lord with Level 5【Sword techniques】.
「What kind of bastard are you!?
Why did you become suddenly strong midway!」
「What? In spite of being the Demon lord, you’re giving up now?」
「That’s right you bastard, it seems I underestimated you.」
「It’s extremely quick.」
「I will take out my trump card as well.」
If it’s the trump card!
Dangerous, I must put on a『surprised appearance』……
「W-, Whatt?」
「It’s no wonder that you’re surprised.
Now that you’ve seen this, die!」
The next moment, at the same time as I withdrew by taking a step backward, in the place where I’ve been―
【Lighting】struck.
「Lightning!」
I wonder if you looked surprised as well?
「H-, How are you able to dodge it!!?」
Huh?
The Demon lord was more surprised!
I was able to dodge it―
because of the【Vigilance】magic, notifying of the『Danger』.
I knew that the Demon lord can use【Lightning magic】in advance and I can also understand the timing using【Vigilance】magic.
Afterwards, I only dodged it.
Information was the most important above all.
But, it was surprising that the Demon lord can use【Lightning magic】as well.
「What a lucky bastard.」
The Demon lord cast lightning strike towards me 3 times but―
I dodged all of it.
「H-, How!!?
How!? How are you able to dodge my lightning!!!!?」
The Demon lord’s MP seemed to hit rock bottom with the overuse of【Lightning magic】and fell on his knees.
Well then, I need to deal the finishing blow soon, huh.
Rebirth Online World 
Thanks for the chapter.(๑ゝڡ◕๑)~☆
The demon lord done fucked up, never mess with the Op Seiji.
Just call out the lightning spirit.
Yeah~
Yeah~
Yeah~
Seiji the sexy hero~
The Demon Lord gonna lose, and Seiji is done leveling up.
And get the demon princess, while sight seeing the demon teritory XD
Seiji Be like:
Human King: Become My Slave!
Seiji: I refuse *kidnaps princess*
—
Demon King: Become My Subordinate!
Seiji: I refuse *kidnaps princess*
why does that seem extremely possible.
So the ??? was lightning magic.
But that means…A demonlord without dark magic?
What kind of demonlord is that? o.O
If you are talking about this, we should think about the time when defeating the Demon Lord (and Great Demon lord and Demon god in some cases) would mean the end of the story.
Nowadays, they aren’t even a middle boss anymore, poor thing 😛
Lol it’s true. Half of them are lolis now, anyway… 😛
Some people will tell you it is especially important to take them down when they are lolis…not me, mind you, I’m just letting you know, so you aren’t surprised…
Now, when you say “take them down” I wonder which meaning you are implying… 😛
What? N-nothing…I’m n-not implying anything…weird…no IMplications here!!
The Demon Lord got luck, if he had said that he wanted Elena or Aya his head would be still flying since the last chapter 😀
Well… if he choose Aya, he would lose his ass virgin.
Just like I though this guy too OP. His skill profiency lvl up too fast.
It all comes down to his Class bonus I think.
it should have been something that came with his space magic or whatever…that’s not the point though. It’s more that, as a character, he exceeds everyone and everything too fast.
Yeah, and he got the Information magic as part of his starting Job Class, SE, I think that the bonus from this is affecting all his magic skills. Since magic is gained by having a better understanding of elemental forces, and his job is understanding software and information.
The genre leans toward slice of life so it’s gonna be comical and easy-going battle. You should have realized it much earlier :3
[big grin] Somebody just got out-trumped!
You are fired (had to say that hope you get the reference
Sadly, I do.
Thanks for the chapter
I can so see the the next chapter being something like “Level 4 Lightning magic and you thats all you can do? Watch a master of Lightning magic *Summons Lightning Spirit* BOOOM…end of battle.
No need to potentially reveal the existence of lighting spirits to him. Seiji can summon thunder by himself.
Demon Lord used: Thunderbolt
Hero used: Danger Perception
Thunderbolt missed
Repeat 3x
Hero used: Thunder
Demon Lord turn delayed due to Slow status
Thunder hit Demon Lord
It was super effective. Demon Lord has been reclassified as Crispy Demon Lord
You mean Lightening. Thunder is the noise lightening makes.
Its a pokemon move. Thunder there is stronger (Thundershock -> Thunderbolt ->Thunder)
He should try the FFX minigame

Thanks for the chapter 🙂
Thanks for double release! Poor demon Lord-sama!
thanks for the chapter~
lightning spirit can finally go all out and let loose all frustrations from scouting missions.
Thanks for the chapter!
If he can use Lightning…another ‘traveler’?
Lightning magic has nothing to do with being from another world. You acquire a type of magic based on your understanding of its nature. In this Medieval-level world, almost no one has familiarity with electricity, thus its legendary rarity. The one known human who got it was probaby a static-shock prankster or something.
No, I think the one known “human” who got it was Demon lord-“sama”, probably disguising as one…
moar
Thanks 4 the chapter!
Pfft! Not enough MP.
Wait… Lightning magic? So either the demons have electricity or understand it… OR the Maou came from another world.
Nah, he probably just did a lot of meditating in thunderstorms.
double release, but its still cliffhanger :3
thanks anyway 😀
So Level 4【???】 from the previous chapter was Lightning. The author censored that out to keep us surprised. Good job on that.
i still don’t get why the maoh got his panties in a knot just cuz some guy used appraisal on him. i understand if he was angry simply because someone used magic on him without permission (i would be too) but the story suggest that he was willing to wage war because appraisal was used on him. seiji says that he’s not surprised that maoh most likely didn’t want his status looked at when he saw the lightning magic in the skill list. is it because it’s a super rare magic? or did i miss a tidbit of info somewhere? i really don’t get why he’s so angry.
Quint, I bet there is a reason for it. Perhaps in the coming chapters
Are all kings in this world stupid? Oh, I forgot that goblin king is smarter than human king and demonlord.
Thank you for the chapter. Here is the updated epub file.
I think LibreOffice is approaching its limit on how much it can fit into one epub file (at least with the plugin I am using). After creating the epub file this time, I found that the LibreOffice document had become slightly corrupted. It can still be openned, editted, and so forth, and if I create an epub from it the result is still as it should be, but when reading from the LibreOffice document every line using “「 」” now has both at the end, like so:
“W-, Whatt?”「」 (instead of 「”W-, Whatt?”」 )
It is an odd error, but as it does not seem to have any affect on the creation of the epub (with everything in the right place), I am not letting it concern me. That said, after this arc ends I will start a new epub file, just in case. (So arcs 1 – 6 will be in one epub, and 7+ in the next epub.)
Otsukaresama!~
I hope Seiji will summon the lightning spirit !! XD
