I raise elves in Florian

"By the way, what exactly are you doing here? The Demon King's Castle is just ahead."

Aura looked at Shi Yichen with suspicion. Standing here, she could see the outline of the Demon King's Castle. She didn't believe that Shi Yichen was here for sightseeing.

"It's a secret; I can't just tell you that."

Shi Yichen put his index finger to his lips, looking at Awula with a mysterious expression. Of course, he couldn't tell Awula about the place where souls rest, who knew if she would mention it to the Demon King.

Shi Yichen couldn't understand why the Demon King hadn't discovered the place where souls could rest, which was located at the northernmost part of the continent and not far from the Demon King's city.

Or perhaps it's possible that the demons can't approach this place of rest for souls, while everyone else can enter. After all, this place of rest for souls was placed here by the goddess.

"Tch~, fine, don't tell me then."

Aura turned her head away angrily. She understood Shi Yichen's thoughts, of course, that he was afraid she would report him to the Demon King.

Shi Yichen felt that this demon seemed to have changed. Compared to other demons, Aura seemed to have developed feelings, but he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

"Um!!!"

Shi Yichen sensed a sense of crisis ahead and stepped forward to protect Awula behind him.

"what happened?"

Before Awula knew what was happening, Shi Yichen shielded her behind him. There was nothing Awula could do; she was too weak to sense that the Demon King was on his way.

"big boss!"

When Aura saw who it was, a look of horror appeared on her face. She never expected to encounter the Demon King here. But then again, it made sense, as they were getting close to the Demon King's castle.

Looking at the Demon King before her, Aura tightly gripped Shi Yichen's clothes. After all, Shi Yichen was someone she had brought with her, and she wondered what the Demon King would think of her.

"Aura, well done. I didn't expect you to bring this human to the Demon King's castle. It saved me a lot of time searching for her."

The Demon King was surprised that Aura had brought a human to the Demon King's castle, and it seemed that the woman Celie was not with this human. This was an opportunity to kill this human.

The Demon King reached out and aimed at Aura behind Shi Yichen. The magic circle lit up, and with a shattering sound, the Demon King forcibly destroyed the control magic on Aura.

"Aura, you can't get involved in the upcoming battle, so get out of here!"

The Demon King didn't even glance at Aura; his gaze remained fixed on Shi Yichen. He hadn't expected Shi Yichen to let him destroy Aura's magic. Wasn't she afraid that Aura might suddenly attack her?

"Yes! Demon King... my lord..."

Aura wasn't happy that her magic had been broken; instead, she looked at Shi Yichen with worry. Even though her magic had been broken, she didn't want to attack him.

"You should leave here first! This is no longer a place for you to stay. If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you."

Shi Yichen didn't look at Awula, but instead used magic to transmit his voice into Awula's mind. After all, with the Demon King here, she wouldn't show any sign of having anything to do with Awula.

Aura nodded and left without hesitation. The battle that followed was beyond her control. She knew how powerful the Demon King was; he had single-handedly suppressed the entire demon race with force.

After Aura left, the battle between the Demon King and Shi Yichen officially began.

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

"Splash!"

All sorts of world-destroying magic were unleashed at this moment.

The earth shook violently, and the sky seemed to be torn apart, with thunder and lightning flashing everywhere.

…………

Celia's Palace.

"Oh! Are we starting?"

Celia sensed that the magic left on Shi Yichen had been activated. It seemed that the Demon King couldn't resist attacking Shi Yichen after all!

"I don't want to miss such a good show."

A smile appeared on Celia's face, and as soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the chair.

Celia is definitely the most enthusiastic about watching plays, which perfectly matches her fun-loving personality.

Even Frilian, who was far away, sensed it and looked towards the north.

…………

Outside the Demon King's Castle.

Smoke filled the air, and the area was in ruins, with traces of various types of magic left on the ground.

"Holy Light Judgment"

"Superior Magic: Skyfall"

(Starting with a move that surpasses the opponent's level, as a sign of respect and a tribute to Ainz Ooal Gown)

Shi Yichen unleashed two spells in quick succession, and the holy sword in his hand burst forth with divine light, shooting straight into the sky.

A massive magic circle, interspersed with several other magic circles of varying sizes, rose into the air.

A massive golden pillar of light containing two magical attacks descended from the sky, striking the Demon King, who was magically imprisoned on the ground by Shi Yichen, before he could even dodge.

Shi Yichen's two magical attacks leveled the area within a thousand miles, and the Demon King fell into a huge crater.

(Holy magic deals more damage to demons than ordinary magic.)

The Demon King was eventually defeated, but Shi Yichen was not much better off. Although his injuries had been treated, his torn clothes were stained with bright red blood and a little gold blood.

Shi Yichen arrived at the edge of the deep pit and looked at the Demon King lying at the bottom. She slowly raised the holy sword in her hand, hesitating. This was the best time to kill the Demon King. Should she kill him or not?

Just then, a hand grabbed Shi Yichen's hand that was holding the holy sword.

"That's good. He can't die yet, or we'll lose a lot of fun."

Celia's voice rang out behind Shi Yichen.

"Selie!"

Shi Yichen suddenly turned around and looked at Celia standing behind her. She didn't expect Celia to be here. Shouldn't she be in her palace at this time?

"You look quite energetic."

Celia reached out and placed her hand on Shi Yichen's chest, giving him a full-body check-up. After confirming that Shi Yichen was alright, Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so tired, I feel pain all over my body right now."

Shi Yichen leaned against Celia without any regard for her image. This was the most exhausting battle she had ever fought. She had used all her trump cards and only managed to defeat the Demon King with great difficulty.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Celia patted Shi Yichen's head. She didn't care at all about the blood on Shi Yichen's body. So what if he was covered in blood? She could just wash it off when she got back.

She watched the entire battle between Shi Yichen and the Demon King from the sidelines, without any intention of intervening. In the end, she only appeared because she was genuinely afraid that Shi Yichen would kill the Demon King.

Because the Demon King cannot die yet, there are some things that can only be accomplished while the Demon King is still alive, and Celia has her own plans.
