Lord Demon is behind you

A golden halo of sword energy glowed from the blade of the long sword, cutting through the opponent's armor again, taking away a large amount of life.The opponent who was hit staggered back, relying on the support of his own weapon to barely fall down.

"Damn it...you bastard!"

The man gasped for breath while cursing angrily.

"——What, you are...really, hateful...why do you have to show up at such a time! Obviously I have...obtained the quota..."

His health bar has been reduced to less than a quarter, and the blood volume of the brave man standing opposite him has only lost about [-] points.

The outcome is already clear.Although the basic attributes of the two are almost the same, whether it is level or skill proficiency, the brave side is higher.If he hadn't been merciful, the other party might have died long ago——

However, his sword is not something that is used to kill humans.

"Damn it, bastard! Damn it..." The opponent should also know that he can't win.He stopped attacking, just yelling and cursing.

"..." The brave man lowered his blade.

It is really cruel to take away the hope of others.But even if I apologize here, it will only be seen as showing off by the other party.

I'm sorry, but he can't back down - he has something to do.

"...It's so ugly."

The demon guards watching the battle from the sidelines seemed to have completely lost their patience, and they stepped forward a few steps and stopped coldly.

"Aren't you quick to admit defeat? Only the strong are eligible for this quota, and this newcomer is much stronger than you. Don't you humans even have the means to admit your strength? You have already lost, and you still insist on not admitting it , This appearance is really disgusting."

The voice of the final verdict completely took away his faith, and the man fell to his knees exhausted, crying out in despair.

The brave man didn't want to see his opponent's miserable appearance, so he looked away.I saw that the uncle who led the way was mixed among the onlookers, looking at this side with complicated eyes.

The brave man came to him and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your kind help to me before, then... I will see you later." This is just a polite remark, and it should be impossible to meet in reality.

"Young man, you..." The uncle hesitated to speak, "With your strength, you should be a world-renowned brave man in the human world, right? Why do people like you..."

He repeatedly shook his head and sighed.

"No, I'm really just here to find someone..."

No time and no need to explain to others.Seeing that the demon guards began to move out of the village again, the brave man hurriedly followed. The group quickly left the human village, activated the teleportation circle not far away, and embarked on the road to meet the lord.

Passing through several cities, after three rounds of different teleportation formations, the magic guard finally led a few humans into the gate of the lord's mansion.

The building in front of me is more magnificent and spacious than the human palace.The architectural style is closer to the habits of the demons, revealing a strange beauty, and the exquisite and gorgeous design highlights the noble status of the owner; it is quite similar to the demon city.

The brave man doesn't understand the art of architecture, but he can clearly feel the terrible pressure flowing from the building.

Part of this pressure comes from the building itself, and the other part... probably comes from the creatures entrenched in it.Even if they just stood in front of the palace gate, the human beings were already suffocated by the powerful coercion from the upper demons.

"Is this... the power of the demons?"

"We'll be able to..."

Except for the brave man, expressions of excitement appeared on the faces of other human beings, as if looking forward to things after transformation.

——Why don’t good people become demons?The question raised casually by the uncle earlier resurfaced in his mind.

They probably have their own obsessions... Although the brave thinks that he probably won't be able to understand this feeling in his whole life.

"Don't dream," the demon guard sneered, "that kind of power belongs to the pure-blooded high-ranking demons. Even if they are in the demon world, they are still at the top of the pyramid, which is beyond the reach of guys like you—— Quality, after the transformation, even our level can’t reach it. No matter how you dispose of the garbage, it’s still garbage.”

To put it bluntly, even if the humans here become demons, they are just inferior citizens of the demons.

The human beings showed resentment, obviously not convinced, but did not refute because of the gap in strength.

Passing through the beautiful courtyard, bypassing the winding and quiet corridors, and occasionally passing by neatly dressed demon maids, they finally arrived at the central hall.

The three demon guards shut the humans into the small room used for maintenance at the front of the hall, and then the humans fell into a long wait.

The guards originally planned to tell the nearby maids to come in to report, but they couldn't find anyone for a while; they finally found a maid who was in a hurry, but the other party dragged them and muttered non-stop, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

The rest of the group began to get irritable.

It was inexplicably hot inside.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks and into his neckline.But the brave man was not in the mood to wipe off his sweat, he just sat motionless, staring down at his palms.

At this time, he couldn't help but start to feel anxious.

Thinking about it carefully, I just came here on a rampage based on intuition.Although everything is going well so far, once you fall into a situation where you can't act but can only think, some faint uneasiness in your heart will ferment and grow, and gradually swell——

The Demon King should be in this mansion.I don't know if he is the lord at this point in time... If not, if I ask the lord of the demon world to say that I want to see him, will this method be successful?

Even if that guy is the lord of the demon world, and I saw him as soon as I entered, what should I do after that.The current Albert probably doesn't know the brave Arthur Crane. In the eyes of the other party, he should be just an annoying human being.

Straight to the truth?People can't believe it.

——The lord of the demon world condescends to form a team with humans and fight side by side... After hearing such nonsense, the other party will definitely burn this ignorant human to ashes.

How can we win his trust and break this illusion?

"It seems that today is not enough..." Not far away, the conversation between the guard and the maid finally came to an end.The leader sighed, and concluded, "Just throw the human beings wherever we want today, and wait until the results come out tomorrow..."

Someone asked blankly: "Result? What result?"

"That's not what you should ask." The magic guards replied rudely.

They seemed to be worried about something, did something happen in the lord's mansion?

The devil...is it alright?

Several people stood up, ready to leave for the time being.At this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from far and near through the air——

"have what……"

boom!

The room shook violently like an earthquake.Humans had to lower their center of gravity to maintain balance, while the demons spread their wings one after another.

Something slammed into the wall of the room from the outside, knocking out a big hole in the wall, and then fell into the room unabated, until it hit the opposite corner, stirring up countless gravel and smoke.

That is……

The wings of the demons scattered the dust.The "large object" that smashed into the room just now was sliding down the opposite wall weakly, struggling hard while coughing.

That turned out to be a person, no, it was a demon boy——

The black robe on his body was tattered, the membranous wings on his back were torn in half, and his whole body was covered with large and small wounds.The dark red blood flowed down continuously, dissipating in the air as a stream of data.

However, even in such a distressed situation, his beauty is still shocking.

"Ai—"

Seeing that familiar face, the brave man almost started to rush over, but then he noticed something strange.

wrong.Although they looked alike, this demon——was not Albert Strelstein.The brave man is very confident in his ability to recognize people, and the seriously injured boy in front of him is definitely not the one he is looking for.

However, no matter how you say it, this look is too similar——

Could it be, a relative...?

He forcibly swallowed back the call that came to his lips, but instead took half a step back, making up his mind to wait and see what happened.

The young demon struggled to stand up, gathering a purple light cluster of dark healing spells in the palm of his hand.Under the disheveled black hair, a pair of beautiful eyes gleamed with hatred, and the teeth were clenched together tightly, forming a complicated expression that I don't know whether it was hatred or fear.

"His Royal Highness Philier!" The demon maid whispered softly, but she had no intention of stepping forward to help her.

The demon guards exchanged a tacit look.

"It seems that this victory still belongs to the lord..."

The guard who spoke abruptly stopped talking.

An aura so heavy that ordinary humans can detect it quickly approached.

Black flames exploded on the wall one after another, strong wind rushed in from the opened hole, violently tearing the entire room.This was originally a small room at the front of the hall, but now the entire top was lifted off, and half of the walls collapsed one after another, turning into fragments and exploding in all directions.

All creatures—whether humans or demons, had to lie down on the ground to resist the wind pressure, but their bodies were still scratched by flying stones.

"'Victory'? What a stupid way to say that!"

——A familiar voice.

Covering his face with his arms, the hero struggled to open his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.

A black shadow slowly landed above the remaining half of the broken wall.The huge membranous wings are gathered behind the back, the intricately decorated black cloak flutters in the wind, and the lord's emblem tattooed on one corner shines brightly.In contrast, the frighteningly dense magic power suppressed as if tangible, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The aura... so strong.

Everyone else had to lower their heads to avoid the pressure, only the brave man stared at the superior demons.

This time it must be right, this is the genuine product.

Although there are still some subtle differences.

On the one hand, his strength is much stronger than when he was in the human world.Based on preliminary observation, it seems that the health value alone has exceeded 99 points, and the magic power bar has broken through the upper limit, reaching the state of "immeasurable"——

Although the brave man had known for a long time that the demons would be weakened after they went to the human world, he did not expect this guy to be so strong, so strong that it made people feel strange.

On the other hand, he looked very... how should I describe it.indifferent?Heartless?no, no...

"In my list, there are no other options at all. Since there is no corresponding 'failure', 'victory' is naturally out of the question—"

While swinging forward with one hand, the Demon Race—that is, the former Demon Lord Albert himself declared so loudly.

"The stupid existence who dares to challenge this authority will be trampled under my feet, and there is no possibility of survival!"

This guy...does he already suffer from chuuniji at such a young age?

However, the brave man had to admit that under such a terrifying and coercive situation, no one would regard his behavior as a second-degree disease, and would only think that it was the magnanimity of a strong man.

Even the Demon King himself seems to think so.

"Please forgive me for lying!" Several demons immediately knelt down on the ground, "Only you are the strongest in the field, please accept our eternal allegiance!"

"That's right. 'Obey the strong', this is the only law that even the lower demons can understand. But——"

He lowered his eyes and looked down at the demon boy who looked similar to him.

The latter fell into the ruins again because of the hurricane just now.Just when he was trying to get up reluctantly, the huge magic power suddenly concentrated and approached, oppressing him so much that he couldn't move.

"Here... isn't there a fool who dares to challenge the rules?"

The moment he looked down, the brave man finally understood.

Those eyes were as beautiful as ever, but nothing meaningful was projected in them.Like a pair of glass beads, crystal clear and empty—

There is no "vitality" or "vitality" at all.

This guy...he...

In the past, the brave man thought he was as beautiful as a doll, but now he is a doll that can move and talk.Oh...and magic.

In the hero's impression, the Demon King has always been a guy with excess vitality, and no one can doubt the vitality of his life.Now it's the exact opposite, and even with his exaggerated lines, he still looks like a living object.

It was this subtle difference that made him feel a little uncomfortable and alienated.

why?Was it caused by some accident in this illusion?Or……

Is Albert in this time period in this posture?

The author has something to say:

Although it is a very vulgar stalk, I like the author very much...! (deep face)
