Sabasa King



The ninth Sabasa King (サバサ王), also known as the Emperor of the Burning Sands, is the current ruler of the Sabasa Kingdom. Before ascending the throne, the king was once a warrior, indicated by his muscular physique and battle scars. He is a descendant of Sphinx, the first Queen of Sabasa, and therefore has monster blood within him and takes great pride in it. Additionally, he is capable of sensing the power levels of other beings.

In Chapter 1, he meets Luka as he arrives in the Sabasa Kingdom; one of the guards notices his Angel Halo and takes him to the Sabasa King. He judges Luka’s ability and requests him to rescue his daughter Princess Sara (whom he does not specifically name) from the Pyramid, having being kidnapped with a “hate-filled” note left in her place. For his reward, he will allow Luka to marry Sara, which he immediately declines. Alice butts in and demands a feast once Sara is saved.

If Luka returns to the King, he will ask if he needs weapons or armor, declined by the fake hero.

Heading to the Pyramid, Luka meets a woman named Sara, unbeknowest to him that she is actually the princess. She reveals her true identity after the duo solve the Sphinx’s riddles, stating she snuck out.

Having “saved” the princess, the King thanks him as both a king and a parent and once again offers Luka to marry Sara, which he turns down again for she has another in her heart. The King then throws a feast at Alice’s request. During the festivities, the King lures Luka to the princess’s bedroom and breaks the doorknob, leaving him at mercy to Sara’s blowjob.

Returning to adventure, Alice points out that the Sabasa King was aware of his daughter’s intentions the whole time, having mentioned earlier if she was any trouble. If Luka returns to him after the Pyramid, he notices Alice and shortly asks her if she is really human. He then apologizes for his bluntness, but Alice is impressed with his sensing ability.

In Chapter 2, after Luka recruits Salamander and recovers in Gold Port, a soldier from Sabasa reports that Sara has been "kidnapped" again. Heading back to Sabasa Kingdom, the King reveals that she has been kidnapped for real this time, by fairies and elves. The monsters demand that the citizens of Sabasa Kingdom leave, which is naturally unacceptable. Luka then heads off to Fairy’s Island to defeat Queen Fairy and Queen Elf, but not before they successfully awaken the monster blood within Sara.

Defeating Sara’s succubization form, Granberia appears and accidentally warps Sara with her once she jumps on the unsuspecting Heavenly Knight, complicating things. Luka returns to Sabasa and is opted to lie or tell the truth.

With a lie, Luka states that Granberia showed up and kidnapped Sara. Being honest, Luka states that Sara jumped on Granberia and was accidentally warped.

Either way, the Sabasa King knows that Granberia won’t bring any harm to his daughter. He has also been aware of Sara’s true feelings all this time and does not mind the next generation of Sabasa not being ruled by her. Luka vows to return Sara in one piece, but the King requests to let her do as she pleases.

In the opening of Chapter 3, the King is told by a messenger that a wave of monsters, approximately an entire battalion (1,000 troops), as well as more than ten gigantic monsters, is heading straight for them. The king then attacks the messenger, who reveals to be vampire Carmilla. The king immediately orders evacuation and locking down the gates to prevent vampires from escaping and then confronting the approaching monsters while he goes on to hold off the vampires.

He later shuts himself inside a dungeon for some reason until Luka arrives and defeats the Queen Vampire. The King thanks Luka and Alice and decides to throw a feast, but considering the crisis Ilias presented all over the world, it would currently not be a good time; Alice has him hold that promise. Luka informs the King that Sara is hold up inside the Monster Lord’s Castle and it would be better for her to stay there until the crisis has adverted. The King then prepares and rebuilds his forces for future assaults, and wishes the two well.

Trivia

 * The Sabasa King might be (partly) referenced after Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z because of the ability to scan other people's "Power Levels"
 * It could also stem from East Asian concepts of ki/chi/qi. The King being descended from Sphinx helps too.
 * The Sabasa King is the only male human with a monster bloodline that Luka meets.
