The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Although he didn't know the specifics of number 0486, Gray had someone help her away from the scene first, and then looked at the documents that number 0486 had submitted.

Research materials on heroes.

As for how the Astrea Magic Academy obtained this information, it wasn't by capturing a hero from a certain generation and using him as a guinea pig for research.

The only weapon against the Demon King is the hero. Even if they are crazy, they would not joke about the fate of all mankind. They are not a demon cult.

Information gathering is handled by a dedicated department. Several generations of heroes' mages are graduates of the Astrea Magic Academy, which has secretly assigned them the task of information gathering.

This data is a compilation of the findings from several generations of investigations into heroes.

First and foremost, what kind of person becomes a hero? This is the question that Astraea Magic Academy most wants to understand.

By understanding the patterns of becoming a hero, one can protect and nurture a hero before they awaken.

Unfortunately, the final conclusion was the frustrating one: the awakening of the hero is completely random.

Whether they are kings and generals or ordinary people without any magic, they may awaken to become heroes.

The personalities of heroes throughout history are also different; there are heroes who have no sense of mission to defeat the Demon King.

After awakening as a hero, that person will immediately receive the blessing of a hero, awaken light attribute magic, greatly enhance their potential, and there will be no conflict with their previous magic.

According to the hero himself, upon awakening to become a hero, he also gained something called "Hero's Legacy" in his mind. The Hero's Legacy records a certain amount of information and points out the path for the hero to improve his strength.

Heroes can learn the martial arts and magic recorded in the Hero's Legacy to improve their strength until they successfully defeat the Demon King and lose their hero status.

The legacy of heroes is passed down.

He learned of the existence of this thing once again, this time with a more detailed understanding.

Demon kings have their own demon king legacy, and heroes have their own hero legacy.

The Demon King's legacy didn't exist from the beginning; it was created by the tenth Demon King, who was known as the "Sage." So what about the Hero's legacy? Was it also created by a certain generation of heroes? Is there a sequence in their appearance?

Gray then looked through more records about the heroes and figured out what methods they had.

Well, I won't suffer from the information gap of not knowing Philippa's abilities when I face her in the future.

Finally, and this is something worth noting, after the hero completes the mission of defeating the Demon King, he will lose his hero status, the protection will no longer exist, and the hero's strength will be greatly reduced.

In Gray's view, this was undoubtedly a case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose.

So, there must be heroes who refuse to complete the mission of defeating the Demon King in order to maintain their identity as heroes, right?

There are also records.

It seems that this kind of bug cannot be exploited.

If a hero fails to defeat the Demon King after gaining sufficient strength, he will lose this protection, and a new hero will emerge.

It is far more beneficial for a hero to successfully defeat the Demon King and gain honor than to delay in defeating him and lose his status as a hero.

The fact that the hero refuses to fight the Demon King until a new hero appears will only allow that generation of Demon King to live a few more years.

Indeed, it's chilling to think about. Gray shook his head and continued looking at the documents in his hand...

into the night.

The Grand Chamber of Commerce building glowed with various colors in the night sky, adding a touch of charm to the vast and desolate night.

Gamma put aside his work and chatted and laughed with the rarely seen Ipsilon.

Although both women primarily operate in Taralos, and their responsibilities differ, coupled with Gamma's busy schedule, they have never had the opportunity to meet and have a proper chat.

This time, we took advantage of the Holy Light Pilgrimage to have a proper get-together.

Among the Ten Kage, Gamma had a good relationship with the others. After all, he was the president of a merchant guild and knew how to conduct himself well.

Ipsilon has completed her mission in Taralos, and now she plans to leave the Astraea Magic Academy to do some things she wants to do.

For example, she could return to her homeland, the Kingdom of Westphalia.

What about Lia?

Yes, number 0486 is still around, so the mission to protect Master Shadow's sister can continue.

At that moment, a figure suddenly burst in.

The two women were not surprised by this, as he had already informed them that he would be there tonight.

"It's a rare sight to have all three shadows together, Capa."

Upon entering the Chamber of Commerce building, Kappa lifted her black robe, revealing her long, flowing pink hair.

The most overpowered monster in the Ten Shadows, the succubus Kappa who took first blood, has returned from the Elf Kingdom!

As for what Capa is here for, everyone, don't forget that Capa said he would come to find Gray when they parted ways last time.

Gray: Why do I suddenly feel a chill...?

Kappa smiled charmingly, and her breasts trembled slightly.

"Long time no see, you two."

Of the Ten Shadows, the person Ipsilon least wanted to see was Capa.

This was not because the two women had a bad relationship; it was simply because Ipsilon felt inferior and couldn't hold her head up in front of Capa.

Ipsilon, Eota, and Capa represent two extremes, but Ipsilon doesn't want to stay at that extreme.

Being ordinary and unremarkable can really make people feel inferior.

Feeling the constant allure emanating from Capa's words, Ipsilon glared at the two lumps of flesh he envied, inwardly cursing him as a fox.

"By the way, where is Lord Shadow Demon?"

When Gray was mentioned, Capa unconsciously licked her lips, as if recalling some delicious treat that she was obsessed with.

After experiencing the sweetness of sex, the urge became even stronger, and the pain disappeared. Now, what occupies Capa's body is an emotion called "desire".

The clue can be seen from the fact that Capa changed the subject to Gray after only a few words.

Gamma took over Kappa's question: "Lord Shadow is resting in his room right now. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

Gamma could tell from Kappa's relaxed demeanor that she wasn't in a hurry and simply wanted to see Lord Shadow.

Everyone knew what Shi Ying was thinking.

In the business of Shadow Court, they are all good sisters, but when it comes to Grey Brant, they instantly turn into fake besties, fighting to the death for each other.

"Where is Lord Shadow's room?"

Kappa then asked a question, and Gamma instinctively pointed her in the right direction.

Kappa looked like she couldn't stand it for another second. She rushed straight to the room Gamma pointed to, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Gamma, Ipsilon: "Huh?"

Is she really that bold? Isn't she afraid of disturbing Lord Demon Shadow's rest?
