Lord Demon is behind you

"I can't weigh my own weight, and I don't know how to challenge the strong. What a reckless move. It's so stupid that it makes people laugh. But for the sake of the same blood, I will show mercy again , give you a chance to live—"

"—surrender."

The proud lord of the Demon Realm condescendingly scorned his defeated generals who were powerless to resist.

"Admit your status as a weak person, and obediently take the lower position—this way you can save your life."

The boy from the Demon Realm fell into the rubble on the ground, and managed to sit up reluctantly.

"Are you... looking down on me?"

The boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice.

Even the voices of the two were similar.The brave felt that they might be brothers.

"……yes."

For a moment, the two demons with similar faces just stared at each other.

A gleam of light suddenly appeared in the boy's palm.Huge magic power gathered rapidly around him, and he turned his palms to the outside.

"Core collapse!"

Dark Forbidden Curse - Core Collapse.

Countless light spots appeared in front of the Demon King, gathered into a dark gray light ball, and suddenly exploded; with the light ball as the origin, countless iron-gray dim light balls scattered to the surroundings, turning everything they touched into powder .

The walls that were already incomplete were destroyed again.The humans who were closer to him hurriedly fled to the surroundings, but the Demon King himself just steadily spread his wings and was suspended in mid-air.At some point around him, a translucent barrier light sphere opened up around him, wrapping himself inside, and remained motionless under the berserk attack.

It is impossible for the rest of the people to be as comfortable as him.Even the demons would probably be seriously injured or even killed if they were involved in this level of forbidden curse.The brave man had to retreat to the outside of the room with the others, watching from afar the scene of a fight between immortals.

The demon boy had already stood up. Although his figure was a little unsteady, he was still able to dodge the demon king's counter spell staggeringly.

With the completion of the next spell, he stretched out his hands and held it empty, and a purple magic spear was condensed in his hand——

"Forbidden Curse: Spear of Extreme Night..."

someone muttered.

This magic is also very famous in the human world. According to related legends, a certain demon king even used it to kill Valkyrie.Of course the brave have heard of it.

This is one of the strongest dark-type forbidden spells that can only be mastered by demons. Once used, it will drain the magic power of the caster's body; after it is issued, it cannot be eliminated or avoided in any way until one party dies.It can be said to be the decisive blow to the outcome.

The tip of the spear in the boy's hand pointed at the Demon King.Huge magic power condensed on the tip of the gun, and the whole body of the gun turned into a bolt of purple lightning, which suddenly exploded and rushed upwards, drawing a subtle arc in the air.

For a moment, the entire space seemed to be penetrated by it.

The Demon King fluttered his wings and left the original position, and the lightning bolt destroyed all obstacles on the way forward with a destructive force, and followed closely behind the target without any sign of decline.

The barrier around him was easily shattered into pieces, but a new defensive shield was quickly formed, continuously resisting the aftermath of the forbidden spell.The Demon King pushed his speed to the limit and flew upwards.

Everyone stared at him.

A ball of light suddenly burst out in mid-air—while moving at high speed, he actually grabbed the idle time and released a spell: "Anti-gravity light!"

This is the spell that was released in front of the brave man when he was on the second floor.

However, at this moment, the scale of this spell is much larger than the previous ones.All of a sudden, within a radius of tens of meters, all unfixed objects flew up involuntarily under the effect of the spell - no matter whether demons, inanimate objects, or humans, none of them could be spared.The demon boy was naturally included.

At the moment of losing gravity, the brave man grasped the protrusion on the wall with quick eyes and hands, and then he was thrown upside down.

In the upside-down perspective, the Demon King turned and swooped down, and the magic power gathered around him again, transforming into a bright beam of light.

The bolt of lightning behind him still pursued closely, but he completely ignored it.

Across the sky full of gravel and broken sawdust, I saw the face of the demon boy hanging in mid-air was full of near-death panic, he kept waving his arms, trying to grab something——

In the next second, the black sharp blade pierced through his chest, nailing him to the wall behind him.

"...!"

The remaining life of the demon boy finally dropped to zero at this moment.

His limbs twitched slightly for a while, and soon hung still.

……died……?

On that young and beautiful face, there was a frozen look of emptiness.

The spell of the anti-gravity light lost its effectiveness, and the humans and demons suspended in mid-air, as well as the dust and debris all over the sky, finally fell back to the ground again.

No one said anything.For a moment, there was only the sound of the demon king's membrane wings piercing the air.He fell down like a meteor, and finally hovered at the same height as the demon boy; the purple lightning that was chasing behind him had dissipated with the death of the caster.

Except for the brave man, both demons and humans lowered their heads in awe, not daring to peek at the appearance of the lord at this time.

——That guy really, killed his opponent——

The brave man's mood was so complicated that it was hard to describe.Although I knew before that for the demons, it is the most normal thing for the strong to kill the weak...but...

When this kind of thing appeared in front of my eyes, there was still something...

The Demon King silently watched the corpse.After a while, he stretched out his hand to hold the long sword that pierced through the opponent's chest, and pulled it out.

——The brave man has seen this sword before, and even used it before.It was the magic sword that was said to be part of his body.

The lifeless body fell downwards, but the Demon King just lowered his eyes and watched indifferently.

"—it's boring."

Afterwards, he just left the debris on the ground behind, and flew away with light wings.During the whole process, he did not distract any attention from these "humble humans" next to him.

It was not until his back disappeared for a long time that the demons and humans dared to stand up tremblingly.

"My lord... seems to have become stronger. This time, the battle was easier than before—"

The demon guards were full of awe.

As if they were used to this kind of thing, they quickly dragged away the corpse of the demon boy.The demon maids who came out of nowhere efficiently cleaned up the bloodstains and damaged walls——

Just like the human beings who died in the human world will not disappear on their own, such creatures that died in the native land will not disappear as data streams, and can only be burned or buried.

"Hey, human!" The leader of the demon guards shouted to this side, "The lord probably won't be in the mood to see you today. You just stay here for one night and talk about it tomorrow."

"it's here……?"

The humans gathered together in silence, watching the demon maids swiftly rebuilding the walls, aligning the pieces of furniture, and then casting restoration magic.Seeing that the small room had been tidied up, they left separately.

"Hey, I said..."

Sitting scattered in the room, after a long time, someone finally spoke tremblingly.

"Is that the high-ranking demons...they are too strong, right?"

Except for the brave man who broke in suddenly, the other four men should have lived together in the same village and are familiar with each other.

Immediately, someone responded: "Yes, when they were fighting, the coercion alone made people unable to hold their heads up."

"I really didn't expect to be so strong. He looks like a doll..." The speaker suddenly fell silent, probably because he didn't dare to use such disrespectful words to evaluate the strong.

"Is this the power that belongs to the demons? It's really a height that humans will never be able to reach."

Brave watched the discussion with cold eyes.

Between their words, there was more excitement than fear—not only did the battle just now not make these people flinch, but it even increased their longing for the strong demons.

...This is really... The brave man couldn't find words to describe it for a while.Should it be said that he is dead or alive?

"Speaking of which, what's going on here?" Someone asked after a while, "Just now... it should be the lord here, right? The one who was killed looks very similar to him, he should be a relative Right? Why did they start fighting all of a sudden?"

Human beings will be greatly restricted in the Demon Realm, and they can't leave the village too far away, so they don't know much about the Demon Realm.

"I don't know. Did we just catch up with the palace coup?"

"Or are you making fun of this kind of action? I heard that the strong in the demon clan can kill the weak at will."

"Well... To be honest, I really didn't expect that lord to kill people directly. Does the lord of the demon world still need to kill people with his own hands..."

Obviously the room was no longer as stuffy as before, but the nonchalant tone of these people's discussions made the brave man irritated again.

——What's going on... This uncontrollable anger is...

"Oh, don't you humans even know this kind of thing?"

An unfamiliar female voice suddenly joined in, and the men all shut up all of a sudden, looking anxiously at the one who appeared suddenly—the demon maid.

It was the maid who appeared first.She seems to be responsible for guarding several humans here, and has been guarding the door before.

She didn't seem to have the intention of pursuing the crimes of the human beings talking about the lord's lord without authorization, but she opened her mouth with a reserved face.

"The one who died was none other than His Royal Highness Philier, the lord's younger brother."

——Brothers after all...

The brave man had already guessed, but at this moment his shoulders were still stiff.

"Hey... what's going on here?" The humans relaxed a little, and some people began to make friends with the maid, "Come in, sit down, and tell us, sister. Since those two are brothers, why do they have to be siblings?" What about killing each other?"

"Who wants to sit with lowly humans." The maid refused straight away.

But she still entered the room, and told the whole story - maybe although she hates humans, she wants to chat anyway, and it is obviously inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing with the same race.

"'Brotherhood'? What kind of saying is that? Humans are so naive. There is no such word in the dictionary of our demons," she said. "The rule of the demon world is that the strong are respected. The more top the , the more we have to fight for it.”

"We know that," the humans continued, "so what?"

"Your lord is the highest commander in command of the entire region. If you want to gain this supreme position, you must kill the previous generation of lords to prove your strength. The current lord—Lord Albert Strelstein, It was more than ten years ago that he defeated the previous generation, and then ascended to this position."

When the name was mentioned, the maid's expression was very respectful.

"The previous generation, that is..."

"Ah, it is the Lord Lord's father. I was very happy when I heard that the previous Lord Lord passed away, because the Lord Lord was the youngest victor in thousands of years."

The brave man just sat quietly on the side, but he couldn't calm down at all.That guy, gave his biological father to—

"However, just because he is too young, there are many people who are not convinced by him." The maid turned around and said regretfully, "The lord has eight brothers and sisters, and there were six more when he inherited the position. More than ten years ago, the six Highnesses challenged him one by one, wanting to defeat him and obtain the position of lord..."

She continued to sigh, "Then one by one failed and was killed."

"His Royal Highness Philier is the youngest and the last one. It's a pity. It would be great if the Highnesses could see their size more clearly. How could they be stronger than the lord?"

"This, this is also..." No matter how heartless humans are, they can't stand her attitude, "After all, they are brothers, even if the rebels must be executed, so many times... it's a bit..."

The rulers of the world will also kill their relatives who betrayed, but at least no one will be honored by it.

"So, you humans are really superficial and ridiculous," the maid raised her chin arrogantly, "His Royal Highness Philier, as the initiator of the challenge, should have the consciousness to be killed after failure. If the lord does not take his life, On the contrary, it is an insult to him, which will make him look down upon by the entire Demon Realm. Kill him—this is the mercy of the lord!"

"Are you underestimating me?" - At that time, that was indeed the question asked by the demon boy.

Killing the opponent is a kind of mercy...?

——The existence of demons is really... completely different from human beings.

Can't understand - but...

The brave man took a deep breath.

This kind of thing should have been expected long ago.When that guy accidentally mentioned his sister before, he mentioned it.

No matter how amazing the nature is, he is still his companion, and has saved him from danger several times.That intention is unmistakable and unquestionable.

Even if he can't understand the way of thinking of the demons, at least for the individual Albert——

want to understand.

And, it should be understandable.

Trying to calm down his mind, the brave man ignored the noise from the other end of the room, thinking about the next step.

Although I met him just now, the other party didn't look at him at all.This is also natural, as a demon lord, it is unlikely to pay attention to a "humble human being".

However, tomorrow will be different.

We should be able to meet face to face tomorrow.By the time--

Things likely won't go well, though.The current Albert is not the companion he knows, but the demon lord who can easily take the life of any creature.

Shaka had warned him before entering the illusion.

"No, no, you will be killed—"

What it means here is...he might be killed by the Demon King here.If he ran to the other party to explain tomorrow, he might be killed by him as a human being with excess delusions.

But, you have to give it a try.

Must - go see him.

The brave man slowly clenched his fists.

■

The next morning, the demon guards handed over the humans to the lady in charge of the lord's daily affairs, who led them to the hall.

The hall is very ornately decorated, but it still looks empty due to its excessive spaciousness.

The human beings were so frightened by the powerful magic power that they couldn't lift their heads up. In the end, only the brave man was left staring straight ahead.

It's not like he's completely unaffected by magic power, but, well, how should I put it... After all, I'm already very familiar with that guy, so it's weird to act scared now.

No one noticed him anyway.The female officer who led the team turned her back to the humans. The humans just lowered their heads, and the guy on the other side——

At the top of the steps directly in front of him, on the Demon King's Throne high above, Albert, the lord, was reclining lazily.The flowing black robes are spread along the bottom of the seat, and the eyes are a little hazy. Although he is a man, he is really a peerless beauty - after removing the sense of oppression, the observer must draw such a conclusion.

The brave only felt that he was probably not awake.

"My lord, the human beings who meet the requirements of this conversion ceremony have arrived." The female officer reported.

The demon king on the seat did not respond.

"My lord!" The female officer raised her voice.

"……Um?"

A reaction like waking up suddenly.That's right, this guy should be sleepy.

"...The humans to be used in this conversion ceremony have arrived."

The saying "to use" is really... In their view, human beings are probably just raw materials for the production of demons.

"Ah, uh, the transformation ceremony... ah."

His eyes seemed to be opening and half opening, and they were about to close again.

Did you stay up late the night before? !

"My lord!!" The female officer raised her voice again.

"Huh? Ah, the conversion ceremony? Has the human race arrived? Now that it has arrived, then..." The demon king on the seat suddenly woke up, "Then ask Phil to go..."

He stopped suddenly.

The hall fell into extreme silence for a moment.

"...My lord."

"Ahh... I see!"

The guy on the seat finally sat up straight and grabbed his hair as if feeling very uncomfortable, messing up the smooth black hair.

"I'll preside over the ceremony....I'm the only one left to do it."

The conversion ceremony needs to be presided over by a superior demon clan.

that moment……

It should not be an illusion.

For the first time, those glass-like eyes were filled with emotions.

Although it only appeared for a moment, the hero who has been watching him will never miss it.

Is it... lonely?

"Then get ready to start." Said the demon king got up and left the seat, "Are you ready with all the necessities? Are you ready with the medicine for five people?... Let's go to the ceremony room now?"

"That...please wait a minute."

The brave felt that if he didn't speak again, he would have no chance at all.

God knows how that guy did it, he didn't even look at these humans for a long time, and he didn't have a chance to speak.He had no choice but to raise his hand, resisting the pressure of the audience, and shouted loudly.

"Sorry, that, but... I don't want to become a demon. I'm not here to transform into a demon."

The female officer glared at him fiercely.

For a moment, the brave man felt that without the need for the Demon King to speak, the female officer of the Demon Race might deal with him, who was disrespectful to the lord, first.

The Demon King finally looked over. Although he still had a casual expression on his face, at least there was no sign of anger.

"What is that for..."

——I came to see you——just when the brave man wanted to say that.

The opponent suddenly stopped.

Then, he suddenly asked in an unbelievable tone.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?"

The author has something to say:

The number of words exploded...

Although the number of words exploded in almost every chapter, it exploded very much today (the author fell to his knees)
