Do you know the tale of the Hero and the Demon Lord?
If you expect that it's a tale where the righteous Hero fights against the evil Demon Lord to attain the world peace, then swipe away, because it's not even close to that!

This is a twisted story about the Hero and the Demon Lord, where our first female Hero in the history, Alexia, is going to defeat her sworn enemy, the evil Demon Lord.

Righteous?

Think again.

Keitel sent shards of ice projectiles catapulting towards the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord Shattered them with a wave of his Warhammer. He eyed Keitel with a measured glare. Keitel charged a lightning attack and released it on the Demon Lord.
Once again, the Demon Lord was able to cut through the attack. Keitel narrowly avoided the massive weight of the Demon Lord's swings. Before he could strike again, the Demon Lord closed the distance between them.  
The Demon Lord leaned in and inhaled deeply. Keitel shuddered and sliced the air where the Demon Lord had been standing.
"Your blood..." The Demon Lord smiled perversely, "You are the bind. It is your bloodline that opens the way for my kin,"
Keitel scanned the area for the Demon Lord. His voice came hissing out of nowhere and then would disappear every time Keitel turned towards him.
"Your family were the first to call out my name," The Demon Lord chuckled. "How fitting I find you here once again,"
"What are you talking about?" Keitel replied flatly. He needed to figure out where the Demon Lord would come from next. He waited for a reply to come.
"Hundreds of years ago when your kind first claimed this realm, we were called by a lowly slave," The Demon Lord breathed so close to Keitel it made the hairs on his neck rise.
"To free himself from the bounds of his master, he promised us a passage to this realm. But, like all the others he rescinded his offer once he found the power to drive us back," the Demon Lord recalled. "But, it was too late. His blood would ever be the key to our revival. Now that is your blood."
Keitel watched for any sign of the Demon Lord. Without warning, the Demon Lord released another blast of demonic energy. Keitel tumbled back. Regaining his balance, Keitel clashed with the Demon Lord once more.
"With your blood, I'll make sure no one ever dares close the door again," The Demon Lord pushed Keitel back. "You will be an example. I'll keep you just on the cuspe of life. Your every waking moment will be agony." The Demon Lord's face twisted into a perverted grin.
As Keitel met the Demon Lord in combat, Lucia raced to Clover's side. She cut through the small swath of monsters in her way. She found Clover with both arms held up to the door.
"How much longer, Clover?" Lucia called casting an eye back.  
"It is almost done." Clover glanced around. "Where is the Emperor?"
"He's facing the Demon Lord. We don't have long." Lucia focused on Clover. "Clover, is it possible to hold the gate open for a short period of time?"
"What?!" Clover's eyes met Lucia perplexed, " Open it? IT can be done but..."
"Clover, it only needs to be for a second, " Lucia said seriously. " If we can't kill the Demon Lord, then we can do the next best thing - Push him back through the gate,"
Clover's eyes widened. "Lucia, I don't know if we can..."
"We have to," Lucia interceded.  "The Sword Saint is dead. This is the only way we can get rid of him. Once, he's in, you can close the gate,"
"Lucia, the spell is nearly done. We won't have much time," Clover hesitated.
"I trust you, Clover," Lucia returned. Clover averted their gaze and refocused on the door.  
"Very well," Clover replied drily.
Lucia set her eyes on Keitel and the Demon Lord. Keitel had erected walls of ice as a barrier but the Demon Lord had cut through them easily. Black spheres showered the earth with holes. Keitel barely managed to evade. The Demon Lord caught up with him easily. He whispered into Keitel's ear before sending him flying into the distance. Keitel was thrashed with such force he didn't rise again.
Lucia clenched her fist. He had given her the time to enact her plan, she couldn't waste it. The Demon Lord set his eyes on the door and began to move towards them. Lucia met him at the bottom of the barrow. He towered over her with an aura so crushing, it Lucia to her core.
"Now they send a child to face me," The Demon Lord jibed. "Consider it an honour. Once the door is open, I will be rejoined with my kin once again. Offer your life for their freedom!"
Lucia remained unmoved with her blade in hand. Her eyes met the Demon Lord's. They were the clearest green with unwavering determination. The Demon Lord looked down with a laugh.
"Your armies wait on the brink. Your Sword Saint has fallen. Your Emperor lies face down in the dirt. There's no one left to save your dear Empire. The bodies will be piled up as high as the eye can see. We'll build our great cast;e from your brethren's bones. Only then will you know my suffering,"
"As long as I am breathing, the Empire remains, "Lucia levelled. "You will not lay your hands on a single soul,"
The Demon Lord beckoned Lucia to him.  
Lucia hurtled a barrage of fireballs at the Demon Lord. He cut through them like water. His hammer came down to meet Lucia's sword. Lucia evaded the blow. A storm of demonic spheres knocked her down. She pulled herself up and continued to blast the Demon Lord.  
She knew couldn't survive a hit from his hammer.  She fell back towards the door. The Demon Lord followed. Lucia continued to evade until the Demon Lord was close to the door.  
As soon as the Demon Lord came close enough, his eyes immediately panned over to Clover. Their back was still to the Demon Lord.  
The Demon Lord sent a volley of black sphere's down on Clover. Lucia interceded and imploded the blows with her magic. However, in the same instance, the Demon Lord closed the distance between them. Lucia was sent airborne with a glancing blow of the war hammer.
Clover pried a hand away from the door. Using their free hand, Clover sent a wall of earth up out of the ground to soften Lucia's fall. The Demon Lord's eyes narrowed. He gleaned upwards as Lucia came flying back down with a fist full of holy magic.  Before the Demon Lord could evade, Clover caught his leg in a tomb of clay.  
Lucia's holy magic hit the Demon Lord at point-blank range in the jar. He fell to one knee. Lucia kicked back with all of her strength. Lucia signalled to Clover. The door began to open a fraction.
Lucia released everything she had into one blow.  
Everything that had tied her down before was gone. She had no doubts.  She knew she had to succeed. Her mind was completely lucid. Her magic was not from a place of rage or anger. She didn't feel afraid anymore. With this, she could finally save the people she cared for.
The Demon Lord's skull penetrated the opening in the door. However, before Lucia could send the rest of his body through, the Demon Lord pulled up a shield of demonic magic. Lucia was deflected back and Clover lost their grip on the door.
The savage, bloodthirsty red eyes of the Demon Lord followed him back through the door. He clicked his jaw to the side. He dashed the blood from his lip and stared down at Lucia.  
"Looks like your Sword Saint was busy after all. Too bad he won't be around to see his precious disciples torn apart." The Demon Lord bellowed. Lucia raised her sword just in time to defend against the Demon Lord's attack. She was sent hurtling down the barrow. She slammed into the ground with such speed, she felt something snap. The pain rippled through her leg but she was still conscious.  
Next, the Demon Lord's eyes fell on Clover who was still standing by the door.
With her adrenaline still pumping, Lucia struggled to her feet. Her head was ringing from the blow. She couldn't make out the words but she heard Clover say something to the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord began to attack. Both Clover's hands came up and trapped the Demon Lord in the ground once more.  
Unlike Keitel or Lucia's mana, the Demon Lord struggled to break free. Clover's magic kept forming as quickly as it was destroyed. The Demon Lord flailed wildly as he struggled to get free. Lucia raced towards them. She ascended the mound as fast as she could.  
She fought her way up the barrow, digging her nails into the earth to crawl up on her one good leg. Finally, she reached the top and came to a stand. Clover glanced towards her. Blood trickled down from Clover's nose. Between sealing the door and fending off the Demon Lord, Clover's mana seemed to be at breaking point.
"Quick, Lucia!  I can't hold him for much longer," Clover cried.  
Lucia propelled herself forward.  She focused on what was left of her mana. The Demon Lord was about to break free from the trap. She aimed her sword at the Demon Lord.  


She’s the knight who sacrificed everything for her country. He’s the Emperor who watched her die. 
Lucia is sentenced to death for a crime she didn’t commit. But as fate would have it, she is brought back in time with a second chance to get her revenge.

Keitel is the boy who would be Emperor. A seemingly cold Prince who can’t afford to fail. When a mysterious young man appears in front of him, he can’t seem to look away.

The violent clash between the hot and cold pair will leave an unforgettable mark on their world. As one side gears up for the ultimate betrayal, will Lucia and the Prince be able to overcome their differences in time? Read on to find out...

-------------------------------------------
Keitel staggered unsteadily to his feet and loomed over Lucia. His palm slammed down heavily on the door behind. 

He was so close Lucia could feel his breath on her neck. She shuddered. His hair escaping over his eyes, he looked down on Lucia. Keitel's face was slightly red.
"I said get out." He breathed.

Lucia stared back into his piercing blue eyes unwaveringly. Keitel sniffed and pulled in close. His skin brushed against Lucia's cheek. His hot breath tickled her ear.

"You really had me fooled." He whispered. "Is this still part of your game?"

Lucia tried to move away. His other hand came down on the door...

https://www.webnovel.com/book/summoning-a-wicked-wizard_21394369505128005#review

"What do you think you're doing?!" The Demon Lord immediately noticed Yuan gathering his spiritual energy, clearly preparing for an attack, and it immediately rushed at him.
However, the grandparents also went to block its path.
"You think you can just ignore us?"
Pap!
Grandpa Lan slapped the Demon Lord with its powerful tail, sending it further away from Yuan.
"Get out of my way—" Just as the Demon Lord roared, Yuan released the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, completely missing the Demon Lord.
"Hahaha! Where the hell are you aiming?" The Demon Lord laughed in a slightly nervous tone afterward, as it felt the immense power within the strike released by Yuan just now.
'If that thing had hit me, I would've been in danger! This human is truly too dangerous to be left alive! Luckily, this human doesn't have any control over it!' The Demon Lord cried inwardly, thinking that Yuan had only missed because he doesn't have full control over the technique.
However, it suddenly noticed that Yuan wasn't even paying attention to it. Instead, he went to where the sealed demons were before they were 'accidentally' struck by the attack and picked up their demon cores.
'What the hell is he doing?' The Demon Lord raised its eyebrows at Yuan's puzzling actions.
A moment later, Yuan tossed one of the demon cores in his mouth, shocking the Demon Lord and the grandparents.
"Hahaha! What is that idiot doing?! Does he want to kill himself?! That makes things much easier for me!" The Demon Lord burst out laughing like a maniac after witnessing Yuan's actions.
"Young man! What are you doing?!" Grandpa Lan exclaimed.
While he knew that Yuan could consume monster cores, he was still shocked speechless by Yuan's actions just now. After all, demon cores are completely different from monster cores. If eating monster cores is akin to drinking water, then eating demon cores is akin to drinking alcohol!
Meanwhile, Yuan could feel his tongue beginning to burn after consuming the demon core.
"Demon cores are spicy!" Yuan exclaimed, recalling the first time he accidentally ate spicy food. However, the demon core was spicier than anything he's ever experienced before, feeling like he'd just poured a bottle of hot sauce in his mouth!
<Heaven Refining Physique Activated>
<??? Qi has been absorbed from the Demon Core>
<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough>
<You have reached first level Spirit Grandmaster>
<+Stats 25,000>
  Ding!
<Your body has cleansed the impurities from the Demon Core>
<Demon core has been refined>
<Your skill 'Superior Regeneration' has developed into 'Perfect Regeneration'>
[Perfect Regeneration]
[Rank: Divine]
[Description: Can restore even a missing limb]
When the Demon Lord, who was waiting for Yuan to explode from consuming the demon core, realized that Yuan was perfectly fine, even experiencing a breakthrough from it, the Demon Lord nearly lost its mind from shock.
"What?! That's impossible! How can a mere human consume a demon core?! You should've died the moment you ate it!" The Demon Lord exclaimed in a voice filled with bewilderment.
However, Yuan ignored the Demon Lord and proceeded to consume the second demon core.
<Heaven Refining Physique Activated>
<??? Qi has been absorbed from the Demon Core>
<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough>
<You have reached second level Spirit Grandmaster>
<+Stats 26,000>
<You have reached third level Spirit Grandmaster>
<+Stats 27,000>
<Your body has cleansed the impurities from the Demon Core>
'Fuck! It wasn't a fluke that he survived the first demon core?!' The Demon Lord was hoping that Yuan was only lucky enough to survive at first, but after witnessing him consume a second demon core, it concluded that it was not coincidence or luck that Yuan could eat demon cores.
'Is this human really human?! How can a human survive the chaotic spiritual energy within a demon core?! Even a demon would go mad if it consumes a demon core! He's even more dangerous than the Lord in some ways!'
"So this is what being a Spirit Grandmaster feels like, huh? As expected, my body is filled with energy, and it feels like I won't lose no matter what I'm fighting." Yuan mumbled to himself before turning to look at the Demon Lord who was staring at him with its face twisted in disbelief.
"I wonder how your demon core will taste, Demon Lord." Yuan suddenly said to it, causing a chill to go down the Demon Lord's back.
"Try to get my demon core if you can, you damn monster!"
The Demon Lord roared before it rushed at Yuan with the bloody sword in its grasp.
"Oh no! Watch out, young man!"
The grandparents reacted a little slow this time around, mostly because they were still shocked by Yuan's unbelievable appetite, allowing the Demon Lord to slip right through them.
"I'll be okay!" Yuan said to them as he raised the Empyrean Overlord and welcomed the Demon Lord.
Once it was close enough to strike, the Demon Lord swung its blood sword at Yuan.
Boom!
Yuan blocked the attack with his own sword, causing the ground to shake from the impact.
However, unlike previously, he wasn't sent flying.
Furthermore, the blood sword in the Demon Lord's grasp even cracked a little!
The Demon Lord sucked its teeth before quickly repairing the sword with its blood.
"Blood Arms!"
The Demon Lord suddenly grew two arms behind its back.
"Blood Sword!"
Then two swords appeared in those arms.
"Die for me!"
The Demon Lord struck Yuan again, this time with two extra swords.
Yuan immediately used his movement technique to dodge the strikes before activating Heavenly Domain, restricting the Demon Lord's movements to a small extent.
"Four arms? That's not fair!" Yuan exclaimed after dodging its strikes.
"Hmph! You don't get to say such words after what you just did! Are you really human? Damn monster in human skin!" The Demon Lord said to him.
"Young man! Are you okay?!"
The grandparents returned to his side after their quick clash.
"I'm okay, and let me fight the demon alone," Yuan said to them.
"Y-You want to fight it by yourself?" Grandpa Lan looked at him with a dazed face.


Yuan was born with an incurable illness that left him blind at a young age and crippled a few years later, rendering everything below his head useless. Deemed hopeless and irredeemable, his parents quickly gave up on him, and the world ignored him.

In this dark and still world, his younger sister became his sole reason for living.

Watch as this young man reaches for the apex as a genius in Cultivation Online, the newest VRMMORPG, becoming a legendary figure in both worlds.

My other novels: Dual Cultivation/ Hero's Carnage

Very little could be seen through the sky filled with dust, as the particles slowly landed, except for the two figures who stood high in the sky. One was a bony individual with a shock of white hair and a beard. The citizens of Glory City beheld him as their war god, Ye Mo. The other person wore white clothes while shrouded in a terrifying storm. He is the one who Nie Li had engaged with before: the Demon Lord!

The Demon Lord stood proudly in the sky as a majestic storm composed of the Law of Hell rotated around him. The energy occasionally formed itself into images of all kinds of demons.

“Ye Mo, it’s been a long time since we’ve met. I never thought that you’d still be able to find me despite the fact that I’ve gone to such lengths to conceal myself.” The Demon Lord coldly smiled. Even though he was facing entire city alone, he was still calm and composed.

“After so long, I never thought the Demon Lord would once again dare to show his esteemed presence in my Glory City. I wonder what guidances the Demon Lord has brought back?” Ye Mo’s hair fluttered in the wind as the Law of Snow Wind revolved around him and occasionally condense into icicles.

“It seems that Glory City doesn’t welcome me very much. But either way, I was still born in Glory City!” The Demon Lord casually smiled as his majestic aura pressured Ye Mo.

“You betrayed Glory City and was exiled long ago.” Ye Mo furrowed his brows for a brief moment. He could sense that the Demon Lord’s Law Energy was far stronger than before, to the point where Ye Mo could no longer suppress him.

A suffocating pressure made Ye Mo feel as though all the bones in his body were being crushed.

The Demon Lord laughed contentedly as his gaze turned cold, “You’re just a bunch of opinionated bigots! Is it really I who betrayed Glory City or did Glory City betray me? Either way, you lot ought to rejoice; I no longer care to pursue old stories.”

“Since you no longer have interests in them anymore, then why have you come to Glory City?” Ye Mo coldly stared at the Demon Lord.

“There’s something that I want in Glory City. As long as you bring it to me, all matters between us will be written off. Otherwise, I will cause havoc here!” The Demon Lord had trace of insanity in his expression.

Ye Mo frowned as an inkling thought flashed through his heart. “What do you want?” 

The Demon Lord coldly snorted, “You’re asking when you have already know the answer! As long as you hand over the Demon Spirit Stone that contains that demon beast, I will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I might just start a massacre!” 

Nie Li frowned his brows for a brief moment. The Demon Spirit Stone that contained that demon spirit? Just what was he talking about?

So the Demon Lord came for a demon spirit. However, Nie Li has absolutely no idea as to which demon beast could tempt the Demon Lord so much, despite the fact that he already has the Eight-Armed Darkhell Fiend Demon?

The aura coming from the Demon Lord became more and more powerful and Ye Mo was gradually caving under the pressure. Nie Li soared into the sky, and stood by Ye Mo. He coldly glared at the Demon Lord and attacked with his three Law Energies.

The Demon Lord glared at Nie Li as his slender eyes slightly narrowed. 

“You again!” He snorted, “If it wasn’t for you, Glory City would’ve already been mine. If you still insist on getting in my way, don’t blame me for killing you!”

“Demon Lord, it’s not like we haven’t fought before. If you’re capable of killing me, then come!” A stern pressure erupted from Nie Li.

*Woosh!* *Woosh!* *Woosh!*

Yu Yan, Duan Jian, Du Ze, Lu Piao, Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning’er, Ye Zong, and the rest flew into the air and surrounded the Demon Lord.

Dozens of different types of Law Energy were released at the Demon Lord.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Intense explosions of Law Energy broke out in the sky.

Although the Demon Lord’s Law of Hell is very powerful, it still couldn’t withstand all of their attacks. The Demon Lord furiously snarled and roared as he rapidly merged with his Eight-Armed Darkhell Fiend.

The Eight-Armed Darkhell Fiend was scarlet red in colour and issued another furious roar as it waved its arms and bombarded attacks towards them.

 Nie Li coldly growled as he mobilised his soul force and merged with his Fanged Panda. He widened his mouth and spat a Yin-Yang Blast towards the Eight-Armed Darkhell Fiend.

An intense fight broke out in the sky as the group joined forces against the Demon Lord. The Eight-Armed Darkhell Fiend wielded a sharp blade in one hand as it fought with the group.

Nie Li furrowed his brows. Although the Supreme Body was powerful, through their current confrontation, he could tell that the Demon Lord himself has risen in strength by another level. The Demon Lord would probably form his first fate soul soon. Inside this Tiny World, any expert who forms a fate soul was extremely powerful. No matter how many Demigod rank experts attack, they would never prove an even match.

Faced with so many people attacking from all sides, the Demon Lord was at a disadvantage. However, because of his powerful physical body, he showed no signs of losing for the time being.

It looks like Nie Li would have to use some secret techniques, if he wanted to defeat the Demon Lord. Nie Li suddenly took out his Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword. Instantly, lightning bolts gathered towards his blade.

The Demon Lord’s pupils slightly shrank when he recognised the weapon in Nie Li’s hand. Indeed, Nie Li had quite a few methods up his sleeve. The Demon Lord sensed a destructive aura from the Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword.

This Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword is a very frightening weapon. When Nie Li was still at Gold rank, it was already capable of exhibiting a terrifying might; now that he had reached Legend rank, the power unleashed would become even more frightful. An endless torrent of lightning bolts gathered at the Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword. Nie Li furiously howled and slashed towards the Demon Lord.

A bolt of lightning the length of several hundred meters shot towards the Demon Lord.

The lightning bolt contained such devastating energy that the allies who stood nearby were forced to back off.

As he sensed the terrifying lightning flying towards him, even the Demon Lord couldn’t help changing his expression. He howled in rage as two huge maces appeared in two of his hands and smashed them together. A boundless energy shot towards the lightning bolt that Nie Li had unleashed.

*Boom!*

The two energies collided as though they were trying to split the sky open. The dispelled energy released from the collision instantly turned a number of buildings into ashes.

Nie Li’s lightning bolt slowly won out as it cleaved the opposing energy in two and continued on its path towards the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord never imagined that the might of the Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword would be so terrifying!

Knowing the lightning bolt was about to land onto him, the Demon Lord curled the corner of his mouth into a cold smile as he suddenly disappeared from his place and reappeared a hundred meters away. He then proceeded to charge in their direction.

The lightning bolt had missed. As Nie Li watched the Demon Lord charge towards them, he felt a bad premonition and immediately waved the Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword towards the Demon Lord. Ye Mo and the others also sent their attacks towards the Demon Lord.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

The Demon Lord charged into the crowd and sent Du Ze flying with a fist. That terrifying energy of his sent Du Ze flying back by dozens of meters and made him spit out blood.

The Demon Lord mowed down everything that stood before him; even Nie Li couldn’t withstand the attack entirely, not to mention the others. Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning’er were also sent flying. Duan Jian and Yu Yan also met the same fate. Then, a frightening aura burst forth from the Demon Lord’s body, like a violent spectre.

As he watched the Demon Lord charge towards them, Ye Zong coldly snorted and merged with his Snow Wind Great Ape. A golden light was released from his body as he slashed his sword towards the Demon Lord.

At the same time, Nie Li also slashed his sword towards the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord coldy snorted and disappeared once again. This time, he reappeared behind Ye Zong and sent Ye Zong’s sword flying before he grabbed the man’s neck with one hand.

The Law of Hell trapped Ye Zong and even shattered his armour. Suppressed by the Law of Hell, Ye Zong’s demon spirit rapidly vanished, returning him to his human form.

Under the pressure of this terrifying energy, Ye Zong painfully groaned.

Just as Nie Li’s sword was about to strike, it stopped in midair.

“Ye Zong!” Ye Mo had been prepared to charge, but out of fear that the Demon Lord would hurt Ye Zong, he halted in midair.

“Father!” At the sight of this, Ye Ziyun instantly had anxiety plastered across her face.

The Demon Lord stared at Nie Li and coldly laughed, “The sword in your hands is indeed powerful! If we were to fight, I wouldn’t be able to do a thing to you. However, you have too many weaknesses! Everyone present right now is your weakness. Aside from you, I can kill anyone else here!”

Nie Li tightly gripped the Thunder God’s Meteorite Sword until veins popped from his arm. What the Demon Lord had said was correct. Everyone present was his weakness! Because all of them were important in his life!

He stared at the Demon Lord, and said in a voice that was like eternal frost, “Let him go and I will let you leave. We will mind our own business from now on. But if you hurt any of them here, even if I have to pursue you to the Draconic Ruins Realm, I will utterly slaughter you!”

At Nie Li’s words, the Demon Lord savagely laughed. “You’re threatening me? In all of my hundreds of years, it has always been me threatening others and not others threatening me!”

Right now, Ye Zong was in the hands of the Demon Lord; therefore, Nie Li didn’t dare make any unnecessary movements.

Ye Zong’s neck was gripped by a huge hand that injected Law of Hell into his body, causing his own Law Energy inside to collapse. Only with great difficulty could he even utter a word; Ye Zong’s strength was simply too far from the Demon Lord’s.

“Don’t worry about me, just kill him!” Ye Zong painfully yelled as he gathered what remained of his Law Energy and attacked the Demon Lord.

“Still struggling with the strength of an ant?” The Demon Lord coldly laughed and grabbed Ye Zong’s right arm. With a pull, he ripped Ye Zong’s entire arm off. Blood splatted in all directions. Ye Zong painfully groaned, but a moment later, he forcefully endured it. His expression was twisted from intense pain.

“Father!” At the sight of Ye Zong’s miserable state, Ye Ziyun cried out. She formed icicles, but just as she was about to cast them, she was stopped by Ye Mo.

If she were to charge in right now, not only would she not save Ye Zong, but she would also land herself in danger. Ye Mo took a step forward and unleashed his Law of Snow Wind towards the Demon Lord. “Demon Lord, let Ye Zong go. Otherwise, you can dream of leaving Glory City alive today! Even if I must give my life, I will see you killed!”

“Ye Mo, do you really think your threat will mean anything to me? Leaving me here? Laughable! I will soon form my fate soul. You lot are nothing more than ants in my eyes!” A terrifying killing aura emitted from the Demon Lord’s body as his Law of Hell surged like a tidal wave. “Do you really think that you all can touch me?”


Killed by a Sage Emperor and reborn as his 13 year old self, Nie Li was given a second chance at life. A second chance to change everything and save his loved ones and his beloved city. He shall once again battle with the Sage Emperor to avenge his death and those of his beloved . With the vast knowledge of hundred years of life he accumulated in his previous life, wielding the strongest demon spirits, he shall reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts. 

Enmities of the past will be settled in this new lifetime. “Since I’m back, then in this lifetime, I shall become the King of the Gods that dominate everything. Let everything else tremble beneath my feet!”

The entire journey, Ace and the others decided without any discussion that they would ignore the Venomous Viper and Jade Serpent. Ace was unwilling to interfere with the Venomous Viper and the Jade Serpent. The Demon Lords were dreadful of the Jade Serpent for some reason.

As for the Venomous Viper, everyone could only wish him good luck as the Jade Serpent continued to pester him during each second of the journey in her human form.

The Jade Serpent would interlock her fingers with the Venomous Viper, ask him about how life has been without her and if she gets ignored, the Venomous Viper could be seen wincing in pain though no one knew what was going on.

Unwilling to be concerned with this any further, Ace asked the Turtle Demon Lord, who was probably the most faithful Demon Lord to him right now, "Senior Turtle Lord, what type of demon makes the seventh Demon Lord stand out from the rest of you despite holding the same title?"

The face of the Turtle Demon Lord turned grim at the mention of the seventh Demon Lord, the hesitance in his eyes concealed from Ace.  

"Forgive me for being unable to explain the reason to you, but remember, the seventh Demon Lord only values strength and compared to him, all six of us together aren't even strong enough to be an army of ants in his eyes." The Turtle Demon Lord ended the conversation.

From just the reaction of the Turtle Demon Lord alone, Ace could deduce that the seventh Demon Lord wouldn't be convinced by him that easily unless he proves himself worthy of getting his assistance.

The nearer they were to the seventh Demon Lord, the more solemn attitude of the six Demon Lords. This also included the Jade Serpent which had been so proactive in engaging with Viper, who was constantly keeping a distance from her.

"Golden, Turtle, Owl, is it too late for us to back out now?" The Silver Talon Demon Lord asked in fear as he slowed down, the rest slowing down in unison excluding Ace. 
But in everyone's eyes, Ace could tell that giving up was the last option all of them were willing to make.

"Are all of you afraid of the seventh Demon Lord even though all of you are comrades?" Ace couldn't help but ask them this question even though the Demon Lords have been avoiding this question.

"Young boy, we may have agreed to follow you because of certain reasons, but the seventh Demon Lord isn't one to be convinced by mere reasons. In his eyes, all he sees is strength. We may be superior to him in our unique areas, but in terms of just combat strength alone, none of us can receive a blow from him when we were at our peak." The Silver Talon Demon Lord took the initiative to explain on behalf of everyone.

Right at this moment, a gust of wind sent chills down everyone's spine. This included Ace who sensed danger coming from up ahead.

"Is that the seventh Demon Lord?" Ace asked without turning back as he unsheathed his sword, allowing the killing intent he has manifested until now to be fully released. 

In the eyes of these merciless Demon Lords, the amount of killing intent Ace can control is insignificant, but when compared to his tender age of around fifteen, he was definitely more than just a cultivation genius.

"No, it's only one of his eight guards. Unlike the rest of us who rely on our individual strength, the seventh Demon Lord is one of the main reasons why everyone else fears us. 

"The eight guards of his are no weaker than us at our peak in a one to one battle, but if the six of us were to face eight of his guards at the same time, their formations and combat patterns would attack us relentlessly until we run out of strength in a matter of moments."

The Golden Talon Demon Lord spoke up for the first time, it's also at this moment that Ace understood why he didn't bother to speak up this entire time. It wasn't because the Golden Talon preferred to remain silent, but because it was the second Demon Lord that was equal to the seventh Demon Lord.

"But don't worry, he knows his limits. But of course, I have told him to dismiss the guards so that we can face him directly. To be more precise, Ace, this reunion of the seven Demon Lords will be in your hands right now." 

The Golden Talon Demon Lord instructed before closing its eyes without the intention to elaborate any further on this matter.

These Demon Lords are so boring and dull...this thought came across Ace's mind as he turned around and continued to walk forward.

"Ace, it would be better for you to back away right now, there's no way you would be a match for the seventh Demon Lord even though his strength is sealed!"

The Turtle Demon Lord tried to caution Ace, hoping that he would be back off. Not only because he didn't want a young genius to fall, especially when Ace might help both humanity and demon beasts to coexist in peace in the future. 

"I'm not someone to take back my own decisions. Since I've acclaimed that I'm going to recruit all seven Demon Lords of this dimension, I'll make sure to see through it regardless of any difficulties faced." Ace's determination didn't waver in the slightest, despite the constant persuasion of the six Demon Lords.

Memories of his past resurfaced into his mind, memories, which he could never forget in this lifetime. 
From the day he picked up the sword, he was determined to roam the cultivation world one day, free from the shackles of the cultivation world as he takes things in his own stride, just like the swordmasters in those classical novels.

But fate pulled its strings on him once again, making him step onto a cryptical path of mysteries and revenge.

Ace walked ahead after the determination to do so, rendering the six Demon Lords no choice to follow him, only for thick fog to obscure their vision. 

"What's the matter here?" Ace turned around and asked as he unsheathed his sword, slicing the incoming mass of energy into half, as the ball of energy dispersed into thin air.

"This should be the protection measures put up by the seventh Demon Lord, to be more precise, this was his only but strongest way of sealing up an entrance." The Turtle Lord explained in a dull tone.

"But when the seventh Demon Lord does this, it could only mean that it has a specific reason for doing so. There have only been two instances, where the seventh Demon Lord has created this layer of defence in the years I know him." The Silver Talon Demon Lord explained.

"The two of you should just keep silent if that's all the information you can provide." The Jade Serpent approached Ace and silenced the two Demon Lords who tried to explain the situation. 

"Jade Serpent Demon Lord, do you perhaps know the reason behind the seventh Demon Lord creating this fog?" Ace asked politely as he sheathed his sword and turned around to greet the Jade Serpent Demon Lord.

"Yes, the others might not know about this, neither does the seventh Demon Lord know that I know about this classified information. This fog itself is the sole creation of one of his eight guards. All eight guards of his possess a unique trait and will only perform actions ordered by him. As for himself, he's only responsible for combat."
"But what does this have to do with the guards? If that's the case, why do people only recognise him and not his guards?" Ace asked again, only to realise that all eyes were on the Jade Serpent, even the Golden Talon Demon Lord participated in a conversation for once.

"The guards are part of him, the seventh Demon Lord is half-human, half-demon, he was a mixed breed disdained and scorned by both sides. Humans attempted to kill him while the demons persisted in keeping him alive to use him as a killing machine after he developed through their experiments."

From there, the Jade Serpent started to narrate the story of the seventh Demon Lord. 

(To be written from the full perspective of the seventh Demon Lord after volume 2 ends, applies to other characters such as Lancelot and other noteworthy characters before volume 3 starts, will see through to it before the end of the year if possible, for now, please enjoy the novel)

The seventh Demon Lord relied on his own wits and strength to free himself from those lunatics, escaping frantically from his life for seven years, living in constant fear that those madmen will hunt him down and turn him inhumane. He hated his parents, he despised the demons, he challenged the devils within himself.

The seventh Demon Lord then awakened eight different souls of himself, each possessing a unique trait that helped him escape in the end, only to bump into the six of them when they were still young as they provided him with a home.

The seven of them were far from being the strongest in the cultivation world, they knew that better than most demons by the time they stepped into the Demon Emperor Realm, but on the day all of them stepped into the Demon Saint Completion realm, the seventh Demon Lord enemies descended from the Divine Realm to seize him.

In the end,  we managed to kill four Great Demon Saints through our own strength, but our strength and our cultivation bodies were sealed up by them, to the Demon Lord Realm we are at now, but the only reason we won that battle, was because the seventh Demon Lord sacrificed his true soul to the other eight phantom souls.

(Realms from the Martial Saint, Great Saint and the Mystic Sage Realm, will be from the early stage to the middle stage, to the great stage, to the peak stage, to the completion stage. The difference between each minor realm will be the difference between heaven and earth without exaggeration)

This was the reason why all of them fear the seventh Demon Lord, who has forgotten them and treats him as enemies. To be more precise, they had no way to reach him and call out to his lost soul due to the eight other souls preventing them from bringing him back to his own consciousness.

"I understand the situation now, dear Demon Lords, please lend me your strength to slay those eight phantom souls together. Regardless of the troubles that lay ahead, I promise to bring the seventh Demon Lord back. I swear this, on the martial vow. If I go against my words, my cultivation will cease to increase from today onwards!"

As the sole survivor of the entire town, Ace had lost all sense of direction in life until he awakened the Nirvana Sect system after being through a near-death experience.

But this made him question the situation, why did the system choose me?

Having created his sect and established a place he can call home, he once again questioned himself, why did the system give me this?

Having fallen and risen, all he wanted to was find the answers to life and most importantly, the origin of the system which shouldn't have existed.

With the path to the apex being full of thorns, the loss of his disciples is almost a must.

"I'm sorry...if only I didn't make this decision."

"I'm sorry...if only I wasn't this reckless."

"I'm sorry...if only I wasn't this weak."

Nails digging into his palm, ground dyed scarlet by blood. Tears streaked down his face, muffled by the merciless rain...

What was his decision and why would all the mysteries revolve around him? Read on to join the mc's journey in seeking those answers and enjoy a fulfilling reading session.

The demon and Heaven Heart both left quickly. The place they headed to wasn't anywhere else but the White Bone Ocean.

　　After they passed the broken ancient city, they saw an ocean. This ocean was covered in white bones.

　　The surface of the giant ocean was covered in white bones. The water was a scary pale white color.

　　White bones covered the ocean surface. Heaven Heart and the demon arrived and the first thing they saw was a giant palace.

　In the middle of the white bone ocean, there was a solemn and sinister-looking palace. It was made of white bones and it seemed really vicious.

　　From far away, the demon said, "This White Bone Demon Lord seems really strong."

　　"Let's go and take a look. With us working together, we don't have to fear anything. Let's ask about the deep abyss, the White Bone Demon Lord should know about it." Heaven Heart's eyes lit up.

　　"Right, we need to ask clearly. If we search ourselves, who knows how long that would take." Zhong Zi Qi appeared and agreed with Heaven Heart.

　　"Then, let's go and see how strong this White Bone Demon Lord actually is." The demon flew over quickly. A second ago he was at the shore but a second later he was in front of the entrance to the palace.

　　Heaven Heart also took a step and arrived right after.

　　White Bone Palace was really empty. There were no guards and the gate was wide open. 

　　The demon and Heaven Heart walked into the palace. There were several floors and from the outside, it seemed really shocking and rough. But inside it was really exquisite and it seemed really clean. It didn't look like a place where no one was living in.

　　"White Bone Demon Lord, come out and meet us." The demon focused his gaze towards the depth of the hall. There was a white bone throne there and on it sat a skeleton.

　　A five-colored skeleton!

　　This was White Bone Demon Lord, a deathly being with strong cultivation. Different from humans, it used white bones to obtain the dao, giving birth to soul flames. After some time, it transformed and turned into the current five-colored bone structure.

　　The strength of the five-colored bones could only be broken by Celestial Artifacts. This was why White Bone Demon Lord was strong.

　　"Why did you summon me?" White Bone Demon Lord stood up. The five-colored soul flame burned in its skull. Its aura climbed and directly exploded.

　　A terrifying pressure swept the palace. With a loud explosion, a giant shockwave swept the white bone ocean and caused huge waves.

　　Heaven Heart and the demon were totally unharmed. Only their clothes danced in the wind but they didn't shift at all.

　　White Bone Demon Lord's aura was just so-so to them.

　　White Bone Demon Lord's soul flame became heavy. It knew that the two of them weren't easy to handle. He thought about it and decided to walk out.

　　"Stage six Destiny Realm." Heaven Heart said calmly.

　　"Not strong but for it to occupy a piece of land here and let its subordinates tempt men in, this meant that the top combat strength of this level is around that level." The demon guessed.
　　"If it is nice, we can have a good chat." Heaven Heart said calmly.

　　"If it doesn't then I will let it taste the scariness of soul scouring." The demon said coldly.

　　The two of them were a good party. Each one said one sentence and at the same time, they observed the surroundings.

　　The five-colored White Bone Demon Lord walked out.

　　"Why did two human experts come here? What do you want?" White Bone Demon Lord asked seriously.

　　It realized that it couldn't see through Heaven Heart and the demon so it was nervous too.

　　It didn't dare to be arrogant. It was okay if it was injured but if it was killed, that would be really unlucky.

　　So the White Bone Demon Lord seemed like it was arrogant. But inside it shivered from fear.

　　"We came to ask some questions and we hope that you can comply." Heaven Heart said.

　　"No problem." White Bone Demon Lord agreed right away.

　　Heaven Heart was not surprised. If the stage six White Bone Demon Lord didn't know how to judge the situation, it wouldn't have been able to reach such a level.

　　"Which level is this in the abyss?" Heaven Heart asked.

　　"The first, it is also the one that is closest to the real world." White Bone Demon Lord replied.
　　Heaven Heart wasn't surprised. He had long guessed that this was the first level. Now he was just proving himself right.

　　"This is the first level so how do I enter the second and third?" Heaven Heart asked. He wanted to head to the third level as the treasure was there.

　　"Pass through the demon cavern. There is no other way." White Bone Demon Lord said.

　　"Cavern?" Heaven Heart's brow rose up.

　　"The demon cavern is a bottomless cave that connects the 18 levels. No one knows what is below but without exception, be it heading down or heading up, one has to pass by it." White Bone Demon Lord said.

　　"Where is it?" Heaven Heart continued to ask.

　　"It is at the center of the first level." White Bone Demon Lord answered. It wasn't as arrogant as before.

　　After hearing Heaven Heart ask how to enter the other parts, White Bone Demon Lord knew that the two of them were really skilled and were planning to journey through the deep abyss.

　　It didn't dare to offend them.

　　After Heaven Heart asked this, he didn't say anything more and was in deep thought.

　　"Are you a deathly being that the deep abyss gave birth to?" It was time for the demon to ask.

　　"Right, I am the White Bone Demon Lord born on this level." White Bone Demon Lord was slightly unhappy and emphasized that he was called White Bone Demon Lord and not a deathly being.

　　Although in essence, it was, it was named White Bone Demon Lord.

　　The demon didn't care about all this. It just projected an image of the demon god pillars and said, "Have you seen this before?"

　　White Bone Demon Lord took a close look. The demon god pillars were so huge and were actually easy to recognize. But it didn't dare to say anything.

　　"What is the problem?" The demon saw how the White Bone Demon Lord wanted to speak but stopped so it asked solemnly.

　　"I have seen the pillar, it is huge. Three of them have pierced through the eighteen levels." White Bone Demon Lord hesitated before saying.

　　"What about the last one?" The demon was sharp.

　　3 of them piercing the deep abyss didn't surprise the demon. The demon god pillars came from the Demon World and were far stronger than Celestial Artifacts.

　　Li Xiandao used eight to create the Nine Skies and Ten Lands. 19 worlds being developed was already an amazing achievement.

　　This was why for the demon god pillars to pierce the 18 floors, it wasn't shocking for the demon. What shocked him was that there were only three.

　　What happened to the last one?

　　"King Zhou took the last one." White Bone Demon Lord said like it was afraid of this King Zou. It even looked around warily after it finished.

　　Heaven Heart and the demon looked at one another and they could both tell the shock in their eyes. 

　　For stage six White Bone Demon Lord to be so terrified, this King Zhou seemed really strong.

　　"Who is this King Zhou?" The demon asked quickly. He wanted to see how strong the person who could take the demon god pillar was.


Li Xiandao obtained the ancient Bank of the Universe, but the bank was now totally empty and there were no treasures at all. The only thing it held: a bunch of debts.
The Eternal Celestial King borrowed a supreme celestial artifact, promising to pay it back in two pieces in 3,000 years. He will pay an additional piece for every 1,000 years after the expiry date!
Moon Celestial loaned a high-quality face, to be returned in 10,000 years. If overdue, she will pay with her life!
Time Immemorial Sage loaned 10,000 years in life from the Bank of the Universe in order to break through. After he breaks through, he will pay back 10,000 years. If late, he must pay back 10 times the amount!
Li Xiandao looked at these debts and at the empty Bank of the Universe. He made his mind up to become a true expert, to find all these supreme beings to get back the overdue debts one by one!
A powerless mortal had became the biggest creditor in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and even the entire Celestial World!

A Seriously Dangerous Demon Lord
Ahhh
Ahhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhn
The Demon Lord greeted his second wise man period of the day.
At the same time, he was cursing himself for being unable to think up a creative idea for Margherita's outfit today despite his usually vivid imagination.¹
However, that technique, the 'chicken wing face lock' was simply wonderful. With her b.o.o.bs on his back, the arms. .h.i.tting his face, and her hot breath on his ear.
Moreover, the flow that followed where he was dragged down and brought into the combined body scissors technique was equally wonderful. His lower abdomen tightened right alongside the tightening of her thighs.
How truly suitable for a refined nee-san character like her. She was always pushing the boundaries. He would have to try harder to keep up.
For now, he was happy to just spend his time as a wise man² with her while taking a bath together.
"Mr. Beru, thank you like always."
The Demon Lord had already become a regular. Because of that, it became possible for Margherita to call him by a nickname.
Unfortunately, Berudeus was not his real name, so it was a nickname from a pseudonym.
"No, today was wonderful. I want you to survive the Demon Lord's invasion that is coming up no matter what."
Margherita had long ago figured out he was at least a member of the Demon Lord's army, and it was at times like this that she wondered if he had actually intended to really hide the fact in the first place.
"Well I should tell you Beru, this area will soon be redeveloped into a male area of the town."
"What do you mean?"
"We will be building a private bathhouse over there, and a new night club will be opening up as well."
"Is it a place exclusively for Margherita?"
"No, but it is a place that will only be serving 'very good things', so Marilyn and I will be moved there automatically."
"Will the service change?"
"Now that there are no ordinary customers eyes getting in our way, I am going take you much deeper than ever before."
The Demon Lord's wise man time was instantaneously blown away. The one word, 'deeper' was lingering in his ears.
"So what is a nightclub?" Fighting back the rising urges, the Demon Lord moved to sate his curiosity instead.
"It's a place for gentleman to hang out socially. It will serve alcoholic drinks there along with other snacks. It is a shop where customers are allowed to grab a drink, talk amongst friends, and they will be able to walk over to the new bathhouse if they so desire."
"Really?"
A certain thief who resembled a bandit popped up in the Demon Lord's memories. The exchange they had at the time was very fun. It was 100 times more fun than being picked on by the real Berudeus.
They might meet again at this nightclub.
The Demon Lord thought that he would love to share a drink with him.
"By the way, what kind of clothing will Margherita wear in this new store?"
"I'm thinking of asking the customers to put in some requests. You always think up some nice ideas."
The Demon Lord could no longer handle himself. He wanted to go another round.
"By the way, is it possible for me to extend today?"
"Sorry. I have a reservation after this."
The Demon Lord's shoulders dropped. However, he knew that there was a pleasure in being made to wait as well.
"I understand. I will come back after making another reservation. I will also try to think up a uniform for the nightclub that Margherita will love!"
"Thank you Mr. Beru."
This was a service for the Demon Lord regular who waved his arm farewell as he moved to leave the store. At this time, Margherita was wearing the default maidware.
"Farewell, Mr. Beru."
"Yes, I will come again."
Then suddenly, the expression on Margherita's face turned severe and she cried out.
"Watch out Beru!"
Margherita suddenly embraced the Demon Lord, swapping her position with his and pushing him down onto the floor.
She took on the full blast of a burst of light intended to hit the emerging Demon Lord.
"Aggh!"
A groan rose from Margherita's lips.
A set of demon claws had struck her.
And she fell forward, straight into the outstretched demon claws of the Demon Lord.
Margherita's entire back was soaked with blood.
"I'm all right...always...…welcome...…Beru....."
Margherita had completely lost herself protecting the Demon Lord.
"What the h.e.l.l have you done!?"
Without giving them a chance to answer, the Demon Lord cast magic to blow away the two demons' heads that stood before him and cast a full recovery spell onto Margherita.
He picked her up into his arms before carrying her back into the store.
"Take care of Margherita!"
The Demon Lord entrusted the unconscious woman in his arms to the receptionist and barreled back outside.
"What have you done to my Margherita!?"
For the first time since he was born, the Demon Lord was overcome with an anger that could not be contained.
"My wings, come to me! {Fly}!"
With the figure of an ordinary farmer, the Demon Lord ascended to the sky above.
First he read the situation.
"It's that fool Zavnat,"
and he began forming his spells.
"Bring the flames of my anger to everyone who stands in my way."
Numerous {Flare Bullets} began floating behind the Demon Lord–dyeing the sky blood red.
"In my name burn them all without missing a one. {Homing Missile}!"
The numerous bullets fettered Warren's streets, burning down and instantly killing every p.a.w.n demon while greatly injuring the normal and high demons.
And so the Demon Lord continued.
"You are demons wounded, and so at my will, return to pits of h.e.l.l. {Death Scythe}.
A circle of magical power ran through the streets of Warren, focusing on the still living demons. After a second had pa.s.sed, every normal and high demon that still remained turned to ash.
"Dust of the sky, heed my call. {Call Comet}!"
Tiny comets rained down from the clouds leaving tiny white tails in their path punching a hole through the ten great demons that still remained. After the inevitable explosion of blood and entrails, both the comet and the carca.s.s disappeared into the ground.
"And now the annoying finish."
The Demon Lord floating in the sky turned his gaze at the lone remaining demon that was beside himself in panic.
"Ancient evil, distort s.p.a.ce and time at my discretion. {Closed Dimension}!"
The remaining demon was caught up in an alternate s.p.a.ce made of invisible light, restricting any hope of escape.
"Watchdogs from h.e.l.l, follow your desires and devour everything before you. {Hungry Brother}!"
A pack of demonic dogs straight from h.e.l.l were summoned in the rectangular parallel dimension alongside the trapped demon.
In a hopeless attempt to run, the demon started clawing at the walls until his fingers bleed, but soon even that became impossible for him as the dogs ripped his arms from his body and his flesh from his bones. Just like that, every speck that once made up that demon was eventually swallowed down the demon dogs' throats.
After the last demon was killed, the Demon Lord took a breath.
"Okay, that should do it….."
A Demon Lord that had just wiped out a fourth of his army by his own hands.
"I should return home and debrief Berudeus."
He was worried about Margherita, but if he were to descend down now and everyone were to realize his true ident.i.ty, it would be problematic for him to return to Warren again–or so he thought.
And so the Demon Lord kicked off the sky and flew back to his magic castle.
Ellis was confused.
Before her was the edge of despair, but the demons she was facing were burned, turned to ashes, pierced by a comet, and devoured by dogs floating in the sky.
And only Ellis and her four companions noticed it.
The farmer with a straw hat floating in the sky.
"That is the Demon Lord..."
Ellis didn't know. Why did the Demon Lord destroy his army?
Were the demons and the Demon Lord hostile towards each other? Is the demon army on the side of the Hero? Did the demons originally come here to kill the Demon Lord?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
There was, however, one fact that she knew for sure.
"The Demon Lord is dangerous."
In a flash, thousand of demons were slaughtered without him breaking a sweat.
In the town, there were voices crying out, saying, "A hero has saved us!"
But those voices quickly died down.
There is no doubt that the threat has pa.s.sed.
But everyone knew that that did not guarantee that the threat would not return.
Margherita woke up with a start.
And she was convinced. That farmer calling himself Berudeus was a powerful presence. He may be the Demon Lord just as Ellis had suspected.
She certainly remembered a demon's claws gouging out her back. She also remembered the sound of bone breaking as her spine crumbled.
She thought her life was at an end, but now here she was, awake.
She didn't know if he was a demon or an angel, but he saved her life. That was a fact.
"Sorry about that."
For the first time in her life, Margherita's heart was doing a leap.
"I have to report this to the ladies immediately."
After all the previous ruckus, all the scheduled appointments would be canceled.
Margherita began running to Lily Garden in her bare feet.
"Is this alright, My Demon Lord?"
"What is Berudeus?"
"Zavnat lost an army of thousands of soldiers."
"That's, the fellow who was complaining about how bored he was the other day?"
"That's right."
"Well then how about you call him to me."
"Yes, he will be here soon."
Soon, the demon executive cla.s.s great demon Zavnat was kneeling before the demon Lord.
"This time I performed an action without my approval in a fit of impatience, but...did you bring me the Hero's head?"
A truly unfair Demon Lord.
The demon Zavnat went rigid, but he was able to desperately squeeze out a response.
"No, I'm afraid we were defeated. We never even saw the Hero coming. He was able to manipulate thousands of {Flare Bullets}, purified our demons, called down comets from the heavens, and summoned demon dogs straight from the pits of h.e.l.l. There was nothing we could do."
"I see. Such a thing, I could easily do as well."
Zavnat looked up at the Demon Lord with a look that sceamed, "Seriously?"³
Unfortunately, Zavnat was unable to voice a decent response to this fact.
"Berudeus, would you gather our executives here now?"
"Certainly."
After awhile, a couple of demon executives gathered together in the palace hall.
"Well Zavnat, please explain to everyone what you saw."
Zavnat retold the story of what had happened during his invasion of Warren that he had just explained to the Demon Lord.
"Have all of you guys properly heard his story?" the Demon Lord asked.
Every demon executive obediently nodded their heads.
"Well, some of you have been talking about how you want to see my power. So be it."
A wave of killing intent was released with the Demon Lord's ruthless smile.
"Well then, let's begin. {Bind}."
The Demon Lord robbed Zavnat of his ability to move.
"The price for death, is death."
Zavnat furiously shook his head back and forth trembling in fear.
"Well then, shall we do this one at a time?"
The Demon Lord floated Zavnat away with telekinesis and guided him out of the castle.
And then, {Homing Missiles}.
{Death Scythe}.
Since Zavnat was on the verge of dying after just that, {Perfect Heal} was used next.
Then {Call Comet} was used, but it was purposely directed to not hit any vital spot meaning the worst damage that Zavnat suffered was only a gaping hole where his shoulder used to be.
"I believe you said that he used dogs to finish things right?"
After confining Zavnat in {Closed Dimension}, {Hungry Brother} was used to lick up every last remaining drop of blood that remained.
"See, I can do it too, but I like to think that I add a little more flare to it. Would you like to see it again?"
The demon executive unanimously shook their heads no.
"Alright then. Taking the initiative is something to be lauded, but just remember that the punishment for failure is death. And one more thing. If any of you try and touch Warren, I'll kill you."
Even if he hadn't said anything, none of the demon executives wanted to go near the city where Zavnat had been so utterly crushed.
"Good. You are all dismissed."
The Demon Lord sent all or his men away.
"Well then, I suppose now I should use the full extent of my imagination to figure out a good costume for Margherita to wear."
For the first time in a long while, the Demon Lord found himself unable to sleep. His thoughts were too full of the nee-san like woman who had risked her life to try and save a Demon Lord.

The butler stops bowing and stands straight, but keeps his hand on his chest as if its courtesy and says "I have no name as of now so just address me as Shadow, It may be odd but tis true until he gives me a permanent form." Rein is confused he thinks "Permanent form, then the form that he is in now is only temporary?" 

Shadow says " I cannot reveal anything about myself, as I am forbidden from doing so, I'm sorry if you were wanting to ask questions about me but I'm going to have to ask you not to pry any further on that matter." Rein nods to Shadow and Shadow lets out a small smile and says "Alright, now as for the reason I am here, I think its about time I told you what that is." 

Rein puts on a more serious expression and listens closely, Shadow then says "I am here to tell you some things, the first few things I must tell you is of high importance as they are warnings to you."  Rein nods and says "Alright, tell me what it is." Shadow then says with a bigger grin on his face "The demon lord that has just awoken, has only awoken to about 5% of his powers."

Rein shows an expression of fear and shouts out "THAT POWER I FELT WAS ONLY 5% OF WHAT IT CAN BE?!" Shadow laughs and says "Indeed it is quite insane how strong he is now, but don't worry he wont harm you as long as you don't provoke him." Rein wipes the sweat off his forehead and says "Alright, that makes me feel a little more at ease knowing that I can avoid conflict with him."

Shadow then says "I should also warn you that you don't want to harm anyone he gets close too. He just lost some very close friends, which was what triggered him to awaken his powers in the first place. Now he is mentally unstable and would probably kill anyone who hurts those he thinks of as friends and family now, and from the looks of it he wont show mercy." 

Rein understands this as the new demon lord has probably grown up with humans and would feel as if those friends were family depending on how much time he spent with them. Rein then says "Alright, I understand I will be careful regarding that."  Shadow then says "Alright now that I am done warning you I guess I should get on to the main topic." 

Shadow pauses for a moment as if thinking about something then says "Lord Rein Strevus, as you may know the demon lord that has awoken could pose a threat to many people in this land and others, but do not fear as there is a way to stay safe." Rein leans in close to listen better and Shadow continues 

"All you need to do is grow a strong relationship with the demon lord, he doesn't wish to harm anyone personally but if he has to then he will. But these feelings wont remain forever, Thus you need to help him as much as you can. Grow close to him become like family to him, this is the only way you can guarantee that you wont be harmed by him."

Rein figured as much already but now that it has been confirmed by Shadow, he desires to grow closer to the new demon lord even more. Its not just for his own safety at this point, now it is because Rein actually wants to feel like family with the new demon lord. Since Rein doesn't have any family left it would be nice to have someone to think of as a brother.

Rein then says "Alright I shall do that then, thank you for the wonderful advice Shadow it was very helpful." Shadow then says "Oh and one more thing before I go, take this it is a key to a room within your castle here, it should be behind your throne. There will be an item on a pedastool in there, after about 1 and a half years you should give that item to the demon lord, but still get him a gift to help."

Rein is shocked and thinks "How could Shadow have a key to a room within his own castle" He decides to speak up and ask Shadow, Rein says "Shadow, how do you have this key and I never heard about a room being behind my throne, whats going on here?" Shadow chuckles and says "Rein, I knew your father and we built that room together."

Shadow pauses for a moment and then sighs "He was a good man, in fact he was my best friend, we built that room together on the day you were born. We knew a time like this would come where this urgent matter arises quite some time after you take up the throne, thus we built it back then to make preparations for the day this new demon lord would awaken."

Shadow then says "Anyway just don't open that room until it has been 1 and a half years, because the item isn't needed at the moment and if you give it to him now. Well I don't want to explain what would happen but lets just say you would regret it till the day you die." Shadow then disappears and Rein looks down at the key and thinks 

"So he was friends with my father, well that explains why he felt so familiar. He almost felt like an uncle in some ways, ah I do hope I see him again I kind of enjoyed chatting with him a bit." Rein then gets up from his throne and exits the room, he makes his way down the hallway once more but this time stopping at a different door. 

The door has a sign that says "Lord Strevus's bedroom"  Rein enters his bedroom and flops on the bed, he then lets out a sigh of relief and says, "There is a lot going on, I think I deserve some rest now." Rein yawns and drifts off to sleep. Meanwhile somewhere in a void of darkness Shadow is thinking to himself. 

"Things could get very bad real fast, but as long as Rein does his part everything should go smooth." He takes a deep breath and then thinks "Yet why do I feel like something is going to go wrong, I usually am right about most things but now I have a bad feeling about this. could it be that something huge is going to happen that could potentionally ruin everything?" 

Shadow remembers the times when he was with Trinus,he then thinks out loud and says "Ah, those were good times, I miss him. We were as close as brothers back then, perhaps Brine and Rein will turn out to grow as close as me and Trinus, maybe even closer than us." Meanwhile in the castle of one of the two demon lords that are on good terms with Rein someone is shouting at demons he is saying

"Alright everyone listen up, a new demon lord has awoken in Satoos and this means that he could be a potential threat, but fear not as long as we can side with him and prove we mean no harm then we should be safe, so we need to decide on a gift that would make the new demon lord know this." The demon lord then says "Anyone got any good ideas?" 

Everyone starts shouting and giving out suggestions but too many people are shouting at once making it hard to understand. The demon lord shouts "ONE AT A TIME PLEASE, RAISE YOUR HANDS AND I WILL CALL ON YOU ONE BY ONE UNTIL I FIND SOMETHING I THINK SEEMS GOOD!" Everyone quiets down and start raising their hands instead of shouting. 

The demon lord picks a random demon and the demon says "Why don't we give him food,surely it would be hard to come across now that he is a demon lord right?"  The demon lord says "No, he should still be able to obtain food on his own. After all his immense power is hidden right now so he wont emit signs of evil to the humans, which allows him to blend in with them." 

The demon lord picks another demon and the demon says "How about we give him women, surely he would be very grateful to have women." The demon lord says "No, he might not be into women. Though I hope he is because other wise he is going to be one weird demon lord with possibly no next of kin."

The demon lord picks yet another demon and the demon says "Why don't we give him the spell that allows him to create demons from the afterlife?" The demon lord shouts "THAT'S IT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE SHOULD GIVE HIM, AFTER ALL EVERY DEMON LORD REQUIRES IT IN ORDER TO GET DEMONS TO SERVE THEM!" 

With that, the demon lord tells the demons to wait to send the spell chant on a letter after a few months, just to let the new demon lord get used to his new life first. Meanwhile in the castle of one of the demon lords on bad terms with Rein, the demon lord is discussing something with an adult male elf who has blonde hair. 

The demon lord says "So what do you suggest the best course of action we take about the new demon lord is?" The elf says "I think we should wait and see what happens for now, Rein might be right and the new demon lord might be stronger than us too right now. So it's best to wait and watch from afar for now." 

The demon lord says "Hmmm, alright but could you send some people to Satoos just to keep an eye on things from a closer distance. I feel that would make this a lot easier for us since we will be able to keep track of things much easier this way and possibly listen to see if he has any intent of attacking any of us." 

The elf says "It will take a few days for them to arrive there, but yes I could send some people. My lord what should we do if the people we send get taken out by lord Rein Strevus. If the new demon lord happens to be in his territory then we would risk a lot just by trying to follow him in there." The demon lord thinks for a moment and then says

"Tell them that if they happen to run into any demons under Rein's command then they are to retreat, and if the new demon lord is in Rein's territory then they are not to follow him in. We cant risk losing to many people now, we need as much as we can in case the new demon lord or Rein Strevus decide to attack us." 

The elf says "I understand my lord, I will give commands to some people as soon as possible and the mission will be underway."  The demon lord says "Alright, that is all I wished to discuss with you for now, you may take your leave and give the commands." The elf nods at the demon lord and then leaves the room. 

The demon lord then thinks out loud and says "I hope that this new demon lord wont pose too much of a problem for us, I was planning on attacking Rein Strevus soon. What a bad time for a new demon lord to be born, and one stronger than Rein at that, just how bad is my luck today? Well I should probably head off to bed, I am extremely tired after today, I'm sure everyone else is too."

After that the demon lord goes to his bedroom and drifts off to sleep as well, all the demon lords are paranoid at what may happen regarding this new demon lord that has awoken. Every demon lord has a nightmare tonight, everyone except for Rein Strevus who dreams about the new demon lord being his brother and spending time with him.

The darkness in your mind is a novel about a killer named Harold who meets his inevitable demise and says that if he had a second chance at life he "might" not be such a bad guy he is then reincarnated into a fantasy world without the memories of his past life and gains dark powers that are extremely strong, yet despite gaining these obviously evil powers that could be used in so many wrong ways, he stays true to his word from his past life, in his own ways.

It has been 2 week since I leaving the village to go to the adventure to become a hero and I didn't realize that I have been lost in the forest. Luckily I didn't meet any beast in the forest. I continue walking to find the way out from the forest. After 3 hours I walking I start to see a light. I run into the light and I see a castle.

 There are many kind of monster near the castle such as orc, goblin and dragon. I try to run far away from the castle and accidently bumped into an orc. The orc brought me into the castle. After I had enter the castle I see demon lord sitting on the throne while looking at me. The demon lord ask me " are you human or demon? ". I answer " I' m human " and I realize that I have make a wrong choice. The demon lord say " you have a beautiful eyes for a human. How do you find my castle ? Is it because of your eyes?". I say " I accidently found your castle when I was lost in the forest". The demon lord laugh and say " you are intresting for a mere human ". When I look at the demon lord I see that he has the same eyes like me.

 I start asking the demon lord why is his eyes are red just like mine. The demon lord answer "because I'm demon that's why I have the red eyes". So I start to know why everyone in village call me devil kid. The demon lord say to me " hey kid if you could have a power would you like to be a demon lord" and I answer " if I have a power I would use it to kill you and save the world from a evil monster like you all ". Then the demon lord ask me " do you think all the demon and monster here are bad ?" with a mad face and I ask him " what do you mean". The demon lord say " if we are bad my surbodinate has kill you before you even step into the castle area. Kid, you should know that the evil ones in the world is human." and I ask why. The demon lord say " in this world there many race like elf, fairy, werebeast, orc, goblin, dragon and human. For me, human would kill all the race and then they will kill each other. So how about you becoming the new demon lord" and I quickly refuse.

 The demon lord call his surbodinate to make a drink for me. When the orc give me the drink I ask the demon lord what drink he try to give me.
He smile and say that the drink didn't have poison so I drink it. During I was drinking, the orc is drwing the magic circle around me. After I finish drinking I start to feel weird. I ask the demon lord again what is he give to me and he say " that is my blood" and I swear that I will kill him. He say " you can kill when you are ready to be a demon lord". I say to him " I will kill to save the world not to become a demon lord" and then my eyes start glowing. He say " we see it later" and then he throw a knife to my hand. The blood on my hand dripping on the magic circle and start glowing. The dragon suddenly come out from the magic circle and call me master. I ask the demon lord " what you intend to do?" and he say " that is your summon magic. Now everytime your blood on the ground that dragon will come and help you. Good bye kid, we will meet again when you are ready to become a demon lord. Oh, I forgot to introduce myslef. My name is Ryu, the demon lord from hell. Farewell kid!".

Great Tang.

Tiantai Sect.

As a great master in Great Tang, Tiantai Sect dísciple has many, and Sect Master Tianlian daoist is the Great Grandmaster of Grade 1 Peak.

Tiantai Sect is not as inherited as Shaolin Temple for thousands of years, but this generation is obviously in its prosperous period. In addition to Sect Master Tianlian daoist, two Grade 1 were born.

At the moment, at Tiantai Sect sect, several Tiantai Sect dísciples are talking in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Ruan, some time ago, you participated in Demon Sect's remnant siege. What was the result? I heard that those Demon Sect remnants are very ruthless…"

A young dísciple who just entered curiously asked.

"Hey…"

The middle-aged man sneered named Ruan Senior Brother said: "What else? Demon Sect's little boys My Tiantai Sect opponent, this time the various sects of the right way have joined forces, it is my Tiantai Sect that kills Demon Sect with the most remnants…"

Ruan Senior Brother triumphed.

Five years ago, Demon Sect Sect Master and many Elders of the upper three realms fell overnight, and countless Demon Sect dísciples flee in panic and scattered all over the world.

For these years, in order to cut weeds and eliminate the roots, the Righteous Path Sects faction led by Tiantai Sect has teamed up to encircle and suppress the remnants of Demon Sect several times.

"However, I heard that the reason why Demon Sect dísciple collapsed on the first encounter like this is all because of the unknown monk from Shaolin Temple…"

< The young dísciple who p>just entered seemed to have thought of something and asked enthusiastically.

The words came out.

Ruan Senior Brother eyebrows slightly frowned, and finally reluctantly said: "There is indeed Shaolin Temple."

Suddenly.

A hoarse and cold voice came.

"oh?"

"Do you Tiantai Sect kill the most Demon Sect dísciples?"

I saw a man wearing a black robe walking slowly Come.

The black robed man was a few kilometers away at the beginning, but in a flash, he came to the Tiantai Sects.

"Who are you?"

Ruan Senior Brother looked towards black robed man, without any fear on his face.

You know, this is Tiantai Sect. Even if the black robed man has the courage, can he dare to do it here?

"Who am I?"

The black robed man raised his hand slightly, and the wisps of demonic energy slowly diffused, covering all directions.

"I am the Demon Sect in your mouth."

pu chi.

Including Ruan Senior Brother, several dísciples of Tiantai Sect instantly transformed into a bloody mist.

"Who is your Excellency?!"

I saw a loud shout, Tiantai Sect Vice Sect Master turned into a phantom, rushed to it, staring solemnly black robed man.

"It seems that if I haven't been in this world for fifty years, some people have forgotten who I am?"

The black robed man laughed wildly, and his strength reached Grade with just a few seconds. 1 Tiantai Sect Vice Sect Master flies.

"You?!"

Tiantai Sect Vice Sect Master vomited a mouthful of blood, looking at the black robed man with shock.

He didn't expect, the black robed man in front of him is so terrifying.

Just then.

A soft sigh came.

"I haven't seen you in fifty years, Demon Lord, you still have the power of the world…"

Tiantai Sect Sect Master Tianlian daoist walked slowly, looking Looking at the black robed man complicatedly.

"What?"

"Demon Lord?"

"Fifty years?"

Next to Tiantai Sect Vice Sect Master The expression changed a lot and looked at the black robed man incredulously.

If only fifty years, he would not think too much, but adding the word Demon Lord, it is unusual.

Fifty years ago, a talented Demon Lord appeared in Demon Sect.

It is relying on this Demon Lord to dominate, Demon Sect is so prosperous, it almost can't hold up the right way.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the lord of Demon Sect suddenly disappeared and lost his dominance. The fight between Demon Sect and the right path led to retreat and was finally squeezed. Compressed into Yong Prefecture.

People in the world have rumored that the Lord of Demon Sect is dead, otherwise how could it be possible that he would not show up in fifty years? Let Demon Sect fail?

But now, Tiantai Sect Vice Sect Master looked at the black robed man not far away, shocked in his heart.

"Demon Lord is here this time, what's the matter?"

Tianlian daoist said seriously.

Fifty years ago, the Demon Lord was Grade 1 Peak, and now he is also Grade 1 Peak. Although Tianlian daoist is afraid of Demon Lord, if it is said to be afraid, there is not much.

Everyone is Grade 1 Peak, even if I can't beat you, but you want to kill me, it is impossible.

It is with this layer of virtue that Tianlian daoist dared to appear in front of the Demon Lord.

"It's very simple."

A smile appeared on the face of black robe Demon Lord.

"You kill me Demon Sect dísciple."

"I will destroy you Tiantai Sect whole family."

The black robed man just fell, the horrible demonic Energy exploded, grandiose, shrouded.

half a day later.

Tiantai Sect Sect Master Tianlian daoist died in battle, two Grade 1 Vice Sect Masters died in battle, Tiantai Sect escaped except a few dísciples, and the rest died.

…

The Demon Lord appeared.

When the escaped Tiantai Sect dísciple brought this news out, it immediately moved towards the martial arts forest in Great Tang territory at a terrifying speed.

Maybe the younger generation is not clear, but the older martial artists who survived fifty years ago know the horror of the Demon Lord.

Fifty years ago, the Demon Lord used the power of one person to suppress various sect trembling with fear. If it were not for disappearing inexplicably, I am afraid that the martial arts of the rivers and lakes at this moment have long been ruled by Demon Sect.

"How is it possible?"

"Tianlian daoist is the Great Grandmaster of Grade 1 Peak. Even if it loses to the Demon Lord, it won't die?"

"is it possible that, what step did the Demon Lord take?"

Countless martial artists trembled in their hearts.

Although the Daoist Zhang on Wudang Mountain also took that step and became the top Grade 1, Daoist Zhang is different from Demon Lord.

Daoist Zhang achieved the top Grade 1 in the fifty years after the disappearance of the Demon Lord. He has a calm personality, detached from the world, and has no ambition.

But the Demon Lord…

Once the Demon Lord is allowed to completely dominate the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, what awaits them, I am afraid it is the real purgatory on earth.

After the Demon Lord was born, he gathered the Demon Sect dísciple scattered around the world to rebuild the Demon Sect, and began to work on the Orthodox Sect who had slaughtered the Demon Sect dísciple.

For a time, Demon Sect flourished, and various sects of Zhengdao continued to decline.

During this period, the upright Grade 1 Great Grandmasters did not think of resisting, but every time they gathered all their strength and prepared to cut off one's means of retreat, they were suppressed by the Demon Lord's fingers.

This scene made certain existences in the rivers and lakes more convinced that Demon Lord must have taken that step and become a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster overlooking the world.

Just when the Demon Lord was overwhelmingly powerful, he suddenly released a sentence:

"In ten days, I will personally ascend to Shaoshi Mountain, and I will meet the nameless Shaolin Temple for a while. Holy monk!"

Suddenly.

Many martial artists are vaguely aware that this is probably the true purpose of the Demon Lord's birth.

The nameless monk of Shaolin Temple?

Everyone is wondering, is the nameless monk of Shaolin Temple really the opponent of the Demon Lord?

Just when the outside world was in an uproar.

Shaolin Temple,

Mountainside forbidden area,

Su Qin's breakthrough has reached the last moment.



Su Qin crosses into a world where martial artists run rampant, where Buddhist monks from the Yuan Dynasty dominate the world. Jiuyang’s successor’s fist conquered the mountains and rivers, and Xiao Li’s flying knife smashed through the void.

Because Su Qin had no martial arts qualifications, he could only become a sweeping monk in the Shaolin Temple. At this time, the ‘Sign In System’ was activated.

Sign In in front of Buddha’s Golden Body, get [Buddha’s Palm].

Sign In in front of the Arhat Hall, get [Invincible Vajra Divine Art].

Sign in at the back mountain of Shaolin Temple, get [Golden Demon Body].

The Shaolin Temple was riddled with treasures, and you can sign in everywhere.

Su Qin decided that he would never leave the mountain without Signing In to everything in the Shaolin Temple. And so, he Signed In the Shaolin Temple for twenty whole years!

Twenty years later, the Shaolin Temple got mixed in the battle between the Righteous and Evil.

The Demons were fierce and powerful, they blatantly invaded the Shaolin Temple and were pushing forth with great force, but that is until they met Su Qin who was sweeping the floor…
