He then told Zepes that he will give himself a handicap and won't move, and infused his heart with magic. After hearing Anos's heartbeat, Zepes suffered great injuries. Zepes told him he will never surrender and that he can only make him surrender using compulsion magic.

Leorig then proceeds to announce his family had no need for a weakling such as Zepes, and then, along with his group of Royals, begins to prepare magic circles. However, their magic power runs out of control and the group explodes. Leorig successfully avoids death by containing his magic and then prepares the high death risk spell, . He attacks Anos and is stunned when the dust clears and Anos stands there unharmed. Anos declares that Origin Magic does not work on the origin itself and proclaims himself as the Demon King of Tyranny, which no one believes. Leorig is angered that Anos is making light of the Founder's great deeds, and Anos replies "How is talking about myself making light of my great deeds".

Anos wonders about the brotherly bonds in this Magical Age, 2,000 years later. He then says because Leorig risked his life for a dangerous spell, he will give Leorig a chance. He revives Zepes as a zombie using  and Zepes begins to attack Leorig. Anos tells Leorig to call out Zepes's name and prove their bond as brothers. Leorig yells out at the last moment and then he dies. Anos then remarks on the flimsy brotherly bonds in the new era, then says he's got his hands full with them, before reviving Zepes and Leorig and destroys the arena. Then as Zepes and Leorig wonder who Anos is, Anos declares he is the Demon King of Tyranny.

Anos enters his new class and makes another terrible joke. He also wonders why people are staring at him. It turns out this is due to his badge, which has a cross on it. This labels him as a "misfit", thus making him the Misfit at Demon King Academy.
