I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

After charging, Ella was overwhelmed by the scene and the magic power gathering in her body, and she shouted while pointing the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment at the sky.

"Activate! Super-level magic—Baldr's Heart!"

Chapter 71: Demon Queen Elelia

Chi-

A sizzling sound was heard, just like dipping a red-hot metal pipe into water, but now it was the entire sky that was on fire.

White light cut through the clouds along the direction pointed by the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment, dyeing the entire sky white. At the same time, it brought with it strong wind pressure, as if being brushed by the hand of a giant. All the trees began to bend, and some lush trees even crackled because they could not withstand such wind pressure. Strangely, the gravel was not blown away by this, and it was as if it was covered with a thin film and remained motionless.

The beam of light reaching the sky lingered for ten seconds before slowly dissipating. Raindrops began to fall from the white sky, and the soil soaked by the rain began to solidify—no longer the sandy desert it once was, but something that could truly be called soil. At the same time, countless green spots began to emerge from the ground.

If someone looks from above, they will find that the desert, which was originally covered with yellow, begins to turn black at a very fast speed, and then gradually becomes occupied by dots of light green.

"Phew, that's it."

Ella let out a long sigh, deliberately took out the magic book used for disguise and shook it, showing it to Dean, then hung all the weight of her body on the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and checked the remaining magic power. The super-level magic consumed nearly one-third of the magic power, and now this value is recovering to the full value at a very fast speed.

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy... Is it because I used too much magic power at once? I'd like to try it somewhere else, but using super-level magic will cause drastic changes no matter where I choose..."

Unable to hold back a wry smile, Ella switched back to being a healer.

"Miss Ella—Miss Ella—"

Lotte's voice came from afar. After using the fatigue-eliminating "Blessing of Vitality" on herself, Ella turned around and found that Lotte and Camisia had unknowingly moved to a place several hundred yards away from her. Thinking that Camisia might have noticed the previous abnormality and moved away with Lotte, Ella stretched her body and began to walk towards Lotte.

……

*Genesis 6186 August 17th at 8:08.05 AM, the Western Demon Fortress City of Kepa

A room filled with sweet fragrance.

This is the reception room that was renovated by Camisia. The decoration style in the room is luxurious and extravagant. There are all kinds of valuable murals and vases decorated everywhere in the room, which even an outsider like Ella can see at a glance.

The table also looked like it was ready for a tea party at any time, with fruit tarts, cream puffs, chocolate cakes, scones and fruits of various colors and shapes placed on it.

Whether she was fascinated by the well-made soft chair or infected by the peaceful atmosphere, Ella seemed to sink into the soft chair and curled up on the chair without any regard for etiquette.

"Ah~ah, Mitsubaya, what are you trying to say?"

Ella yawned as if she was about to fall asleep. Waking up early these days made Ella, who was used to sleeping in, feel a little listless.

After Ella released her magic at dawn yesterday, Dean said nothing. He just followed the team back to Kepa City in silence. Then he just said that he needed to look up some information and used the teleportation scroll to leave the Western Demon Territory. Originally, Ella was still worried that her true strength would be exposed, but that night Dean returned to the Western Demon Territory and apologized to Ruthie sincerely. After Ruthie accepted, he asked Camisia for a place to stay and lived in Kepa City.

Thus, the scene unfolded. These snacks were carefully prepared gifts brought by Dean from the Eastern Demon Tribe. While they were indeed delicious, Ella preferred to go back to sleep. As for the food—it was perhaps a little less delicious than the Angel Crystals. These snacks were too sweet, falling just short of Ella's expectations.

Perhaps guessing what Ella was thinking, Lotte, who had been standing at the back preparing refreshments, brought out the angel crystals cut into small pieces at the right moment.

Although there was still an old man sitting at the table, Ella's action seemed very impolite, but this was also in accordance with what Dean said at the beginning: "Don't worry about me, Princess, you just need to do what you want."

Because Dean was still silent, Ella, who hadn't eaten angel crystal for a long time, picked up a piece and put it to her mouth.

"Mitsubaya, would you like to try it too?"

Even though this is a specialty of the Divine Race that is not open to the outside world, even though the Eastern Demon Territory is adjacent to the Divine Race, the amount that can be obtained each year should be very limited.

Sure enough, Dean responded.

"T-This is an Angel Crystal? Princess, how did you get it?"

"Eh? This? This was given to me by my friend Iris from the Kamito tribe."

[Of course it's a lie, but using Iris's name at a time like this probably won't earnestly verify it.]

"Iris? Is she the princess of the God-man tribe, Iris Charlotte Farialuci?"

"Oh, yes, he's a friend I met when I was at the Holy Academy."

As if he had heard something very shocking, Dean's eyes began to become complicated as he looked at the plate of angel crystals.

"Don't princesses of the Godman tribe have a natural curse? If they become friends, they'll be controlled, right? And the Godman tribe princess actually became friends with the Demon tribe princess..."

"I've solved this problem. From now on, Iris will no longer carry this curse. And is it true that being friends is not allowed?"

“No, not really. Rather, being able to have this kind of relationship with the princess of the God-man tribe will be of great benefit to our future development… However, being able to do this, well—if it’s the princess herself, it’s not surprising that she can do this…”

Dean muttered softly, then suddenly became serious.

"Princess, I would like to apologize for my disrespectful behavior towards you some time ago. I am truly sorry for attacking you with such language. Also, please be sure to call me by my first name, 'Dean'."

"Well, okay, Camisia told me before that Dean's actions were just a test to see if I'm qualified to become a demon king, so I'm not angry."

[Of course, I'm not angry about this. The Luti incident was the main reason, although that was no longer the case during yesterday's apology.]

Adding this in her mind, Ella uncurled herself from the soft chair, revealing a section of her smooth calf.

Without looking at the snacks on the table, Dean had a hesitant expression. Then, after seeing Ella eating the snacks without any care, he made up his mind, put his elbows on the table, and leaned forward.

"After witnessing your strength, I believe it's time for the Demon Clan to truly regain unity. In fact, I've come this time to discuss the reunification of the Eastern and Western divisions. And, using your work transforming the border desert into a pure land, I intend to elevate you, Princess, to the position of true Demon King."

"Pfft, cough, w-what?"

Choked by Dean's sudden words, Ella quickly picked up the black tea next to her and drank it.

Not paying attention to Ella's indecent appearance, Dean thought for a moment and stroked his beard.

"Um—I mean, you're going to become the Demon King, Princess Elelaya-sama."

Chapter 72: I was forced to be a demon king, but I just want to be an ordinary person

"Huh? Wait a minute—"

The news was so shocking that Ella was unable to react for a moment.

「A demon king... a demon king... someone who becomes a king, huh——wouldn’t that be terrible?!」

She straightened her posture completely, not even wiping off the biscuit crumbs from the corner of her mouth, and put on a serious look.

"Dean, I think you made a mistake. That magic that day—"

As soon as Ella mentioned the magic, Dean's hands trembled unnaturally, his breathing became heavy, and he spoke very excitedly.

"That magic, that magic is the most magnificent I've ever seen since the Demon God era. No, it can't even be called magic, it's a miracle! Even the One and Only God didn't use that kind of magic when he fought us. Hmm—that moment, not recording the miracle with the recording crystal was a huge mistake. Yes, the biggest mistake. If we could thoroughly study that profound magic circle, the speed of magic research would surely be accelerated by dozens, no, hundreds of years, right?"

Dean became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even stood up in the end.

"Such a miracle must be an eighth-tier magic that surpasses the historical limit, or at least a ninth-tier super-forbidden spell. Magic of this level, even the Demon King... No, Princess-sama, a master like you, not only the Demon King, but the entire continent should tremble at your feet, and so should all magic casters around the world..."

Not knowing what expression to show in response to Dean's behavior, Ella could only stare at Dean and blink continuously.

The matter came to an end when Dean found himself on the verge of giving a speech while standing on a table.

"Ahem, my apologies, Princess."

"Uh, uh... No, it's okay."

"Is magic really that alluring... Well, it's hard to say anything about different opinions, but saying that the whole world would tremble under your feet is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

Ella couldn't help but imagine herself, as someone in a higher position, having to bury herself in a pile of documents all day...

"Ahh, this alone is absolutely not enough."

He nodded with deep understanding.

"Um—Dean, regarding that magic, I actually borrowed the power of the magic book, the same book I was holding when I cast the magic yesterday."

Ella secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had disguised herself at the beginning, otherwise she would not be able to deal with it now.

After hearing Ella's words, Dean paused.

"A magic book? Isn't it your own power, Princess?"

"Well, that magic book is my personal property, so Dean, you should have no objection to using it to complete the twentieth condition, right?"

"I have no objection. Possessing such an item is undoubtedly part of your strength, Princess. As for that book, I did see it at the time. I originally thought that the spell was too long, so you had to consult the grimoire for assistance. I didn't expect the grimoire to be the primary tool. But... isn't the grimoire only capable of recording spells? Is it really okay to store super-forbidden-level magic in a grimoire's unstable material?"

When the key position was mentioned, Ella rolled her purple eyes.

"Well, actually, this is the case. This magic book has been passed down from a very long time ago. As for why it can store magic of that level, I'm not quite sure. It was already in there when I got it. If Dean wants to see it, I can lend it to you temporarily. Of course, because the magic released that day can only be used once, the magic book is now no different from an ordinary magic book."

As Ella spoke, she took out the setting book from the storage.

[Hopefully I can get away with it…]

Praying in her heart, Ella pretended that the book was very precious, holding it in both hands and placing it on an empty space on the table.

"No, it doesn't matter. Princess, the fact that you allowed me to see the dignity of this magic book is already the highest reward."

Dean was not discouraged by what Ella said. On the contrary, when he saw Ella take out the setting book, he didn't even blink. His eyes kept following the setting book, and countless emotions flashed in his eyes, including surprise, admiration, envy, and desire.

Seeing that Dean was just staring at the book without any desire to pick it up, Ella asked carefully.

"Even though the magic stored in it has been lost, this grimoire still contains a lot of information, you know? There are some records on alchemy, though."

The setting book that Ella gave to Nina when she came to the Demon Territory mainly recorded things about alchemy, and this second volume mainly introduces various types of magic. Although, now it seems that they are all things developed by some very immature designers.

Although Dean's face was facing Ella, his eyes were always fixed on the magic book on the table. He spoke slowly with hesitation.

"Princess... Can I take a look at this book here? Just, just here! I won't take it away!"

"Eh? No problem, huh? I'd agree even if you take something like this away to look at it, huh?"

"That's great... I'm not suspecting you of lying just because this art book looks so ordinary..."

Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Princess! I, Dean, will definitely work harder for the prosperity of the demon clan!"

"Well, this might be hard for Dean to understand."

——After all, these are things that are difficult to describe in words, the differences between the two cultures, hmm.

Dean stood up and picked up the beautifully wrapped book with trembling hands. While muttering thanks to Ella, he couldn't wait to open the first page of the book.

"This is the first time I've seen such a magical material! It makes sense that it could store such powerful magic. And the magical aura within this book... is as rich as the princess's own. Add to that this seemingly incomprehensible and profound knowledge..."

"Uh, no, I think it's just because the book was imbued with magical energy when I cast 'Heart of Baldur'. As for the incomprehensible and profound knowledge... I'm glad you didn't discover it, Dean."

After silently adding this in her heart, Ella stopped paying attention to the excited Dean and turned her attention to Lotte beside her.

"By the way, does Lotte know where Camisia went today? I haven't seen her all day."

"Miss Camisia is dealing with the commotion caused by the magic you cast, Miss Ella. Everyone in the city seems bewildered by the sudden change in circumstances."

"Really?... I feel like I've done something truly extraordinary. Yeah, let's get back to the point, Dean."

Ella stood up and stopped Dean who was reading word by word.

"Mana is magic... Hmm? Princess, what do you want?"

"You know about my abilities, right? Actually, my true level is only 17th. The ability to use super-forbidden spells is thanks to this book. I'm still underage, so—it's not too late to talk about the Demon King later, right?"

Without looking at Ella, Dean still buried his head in the magic book. Ella even had the illusion that sparks were bursting out of Dean's eyes.

"Yes, no problem. As the sole heir to the Demon King, you can decide when to perform the ritual."

"Really? Now that the matter has been resolved, I'll go talk to Camisia about returning to the Holy Academy. As for the merger of the East and West divisions, just let me know the results after you discuss it with Camisia."

"No objection, Princess. Do you want me to take you to Camisia?"

Dean raised his head. Although he really looked like he wanted to send Ella out, Ella still noticed the reluctance to part with the magic book in his eyes.

Ella answered Dean with a wry smile.

"No need. Lotte and I can go by ourselves. Dean, just stay here and study magic."

"The future Demon King is such a sensible and wise man. As a servant, I feel the future of our demon clan is bright—"

"Alright, alright. See you later then."

After waving at Dean who was about to start a long speech, Ella picked up a cream puff on the table and walked out of the room with Lotte.
