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

Chapter 313 The Two Little Ones: Fei'er and Cui'er

It seems like she's reminiscing about the past.

Is this what's called a revolving lantern?

I guess I still can't let her go.

Even with the abilities bestowed upon him by Lord Avaris, he gathered believers, founded the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild, and gradually rose to the top.

He also married a wealthy heiress, had children, and now even has a granddaughter.

Is he happy?

Yes, Sasha is lovely and enjoying her later years with her family. What more could she want?

But overall, there are still some regrets.

But he was tired. So be it. He had lived for so many years, enjoyed so many things, and done too many evil deeds for Lord Avaris.

It's good that it ends like this.

The black dragon, the projection of Avaris, the demon of greed and avarice, fell.

Lockston Kingsol then breathed his last.

Gray noticed the archbishop's death.

"To summon the projection of Avaris, the demon of greed and avarice, at the cost of one's own soul, but the sacrifice is only half a soul, right? However, if half a soul is lost, one usually cannot survive."

The demons seem to possess a secret method to sustain the life of someone whose soul is only half intact. A high-ranking archbishop couldn't possibly be unaware of such a method; his failure to use it indicates he has given up hope of survival.

Even if Lockston Kingsol used that secret technique to sustain his life, Gray would still kill him with a single blow, saving him the trouble.

"The archbishop is dead. Next, annihilate the remaining cultists, leave no one alive!"

Gray gave the order, and the women seemed to wake from a dream.

Alpha chuckled softly, feeling somewhat embarrassed by his earlier trembling.

With Lord Shadow as her backer, what does she have to fear?

We, the servants, will, under the leadership of Lord Shadow, annihilate the Demon Cult!

Beta?w? .

One-hit kill, and it has to be the prince charming.

Delta once again realized the gap between his strength and Gray's.

Lord Shadow, you are indeed terrifying.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to stop thinking about it, and obeyed Gray's orders, swinging her blood scythe at the remaining cultists.

Theta was the quickest to react; she carried out Gray's orders immediately.

Kappa, the pink-haired succubus, seemed to be imagining some scene, drooling profusely.

Gray called out to White Scale: "This dragon, is it one of your kind?"

Bai Lin shook his head: "No, it's a demon, it just looks like a dragon."

Gray replied, "That's good. At least it's not like we're killing your people in front of you."

Bai Lin was somewhat moved upon hearing this: "Lord Demon Shadow is considering my feelings?"

Gray replied, "I only remembered this after I finished fighting, but I'm just asking."

This answer displeased Bai Lin somewhat.

You'd better not say that, or she won't be moved at all.

Gray had no idea what Bai Lin was thinking, and muttered to himself, "Let's clean up the battlefield next..."

……

"found it!"

With the remaining cult members eliminated, it's time to clean up the battlefield.

Beta, of course, hadn't forgotten the unicorn mother's request, and after searching the entire building, he finally found her.

Two young unicorns were kept in a cage, their eyes revealing helplessness and sorrow, their silvery-white fur standing out starkly in the dim cage.

Their horns shimmered with a faint light, which made Beta feel very sorry for them.

However, the cages that hold them are quite luxurious, as if they were custom-made.

This cage was less a prison and more an exquisite palace. It was inlaid with pure gold and finely crafted gemstones, and each bar was as delicate as a work of art, shimmering with dazzling light. The golden radiance was particularly striking in the dim environment.

Four small crystal pillars stand at the four corners of the cage, each topped with a luminous gemstone that emits a soft glow, illuminating every corner of the cage.

The bottom of the cage was covered with a soft blanket, which was not the kind of treatment a caged monster should receive.

Despite its magnificent luxury, the cage remained a prison. The unicorns' eyes revealed a yearning for freedom, making them stand out starkly within its opulent enclosure.

Fortunately, neither of the two young unicorns had been tainted by the demon's aura, meaning they had not been assimilated by the demon, and there was still hope.

These two baby unicorns were Cappuccino's pets. Cappuccino planned to raise them a bit bigger before taking them into the Greedy Space, but now that opportunity is gone.

Beta took a deep breath and approached the luxurious cage.

Her approach immediately alerted the two young unicorns.

Their eyes revealed helplessness and fear.

Beta immediately used a secret technique of the Elven race to connect with the two young unicorns and begin a conversation.

"Fei'er, Cui'er, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you," Beta said in the gentlest and calmest voice possible.

"Elf...?"

Under the spell's transformation, Beta heard two soft, childlike voices.

The two young unicorns were somewhat puzzled, but their wariness remained undiminished.

They didn't know how Beta knew their names, which made them even more wary of Beta.

“Not a pure elf… cannot be trusted…” The innocent voice uttered words that made Beta blush.

Honestly, that's so rude. She was criticized by her mother once, and now she's being dissed by these two brats. Doesn't she have any shame?

Beta sensed the distrust of the two young unicorns and had no choice but to take out the glowing magic crystal.

This was a gift from the unicorn mother, not just as a reward, but also to earn her child's trust in Beta.

The two baby unicorns cried out in despair the moment they saw the magic crystal.

The familiar scent; they could feel the warmth of their mother's aura emanating from the magic crystal.

But they couldn't possibly be unaware of what the appearance of the magic crystals meant.

Under the influence of the secret technique, Beta heard the cries of two baby unicorns.

Beta had no choice but to take out the magic crystal and tell the two little ones about their mother's death in order to gain their trust.

It's cruel, but it's the truth, and they'll have to find out sooner or later.

There must have been some message left inside the magic crystal—the unicorn mother's last words, entrusting her child with some final arrangements…

Soon, the two little ones were immersed in grief. Beta pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

Soon, the two little ones still looked sad, but they were no longer wary of Beta.

"Sister... Sister... Thank you... for... helping... Mother..."

Beta bit her lip, holding back her tears.

"Yes, I'll take care of you from now on. I'll treat you well."

"Please...take good care of me..."
