"Then, Demon Lord, please lend me your power once again."
Kleidina lowered her head and knelt before the throne. This time, she reached out and held Mia's small hand tightly.
It embodies the purest desires.
The power of “nurturing” begins to stir—
……
Finally.
Demon King's Castle - Prison.
The movement of the Rose Shadow Insects within the body slowed down, and reason was gradually pulled back from the edge of danger, maintaining a delicate balance.
The perfectly comfortable feeling enveloped her whole body, making Mino reluctant to wake up. Her eyelids were as heavy as if she were in a dream, and she had no strength to open them.
At this time.
Suddenly, a "ding" sound, as if symbolizing liberation, rang in my ears.
[The interrogation mission is complete, and the reward has been issued...]
[Reward - Contract Skill - City Gate Summoning: Summons the gate to the Demon King's castle. Using a key to open it, you can directly travel to any territory of the Demon Realm.]
"Eh?"
big bed.
Mino opened her eyes in astonishment.
Chapter 335 [Light]
With a gurgle, Mino jumped straight out of bed.
Ignoring the Rose Shadow Worms still coursing through his body, bringing waves of unbearable nerve-numbing sensations, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring intently at the reward for the interrogation mission.
"Finally... the money came out?!"
Confirming that it wasn't a hallucination caused by her G-spot being repeatedly stimulated, Mino's mouth gradually opened wide, and her hands began to tremble.
The Contract Spell that summons the gates of the Demon King's castle costs 100 gold coins.
Mino quickly pulled back the covers, emptied the money pouch from the bed, counted it over and over again, and finally tears of excitement welled up in her eyes:
just!
After repeatedly using the weather change contract, there were exactly 100 gold coins left in the bag!
Gold coins, a summoning gate, and a key—he has fulfilled all the conditions to leave the Demon King's castle!
"This day has finally come!" Mino jumped out of bed and cheered.
"Five months! Do you know how I spent those five months?!"
Mino abruptly turned her head to look at the group of demons huddled in the corner of the cell, terrified. She wanted to put on a bitter and hateful expression, but then she paused, tilting her head as if she had just realized what was happening:
"Seems like... you're doing pretty well?"
"Forget it! None of that matters!!!"
"Anyway, I have to say goodbye to you now, hahaha! Wuhu! Wuhahahahaha—!!!"
"Long live!!!"
The edge of the prison cell.
The four great demons looked at Mino, who was jumping and bouncing on the big bed, with strange expressions.
After being subjected to one horrific interrogation after another, has this Hero of Light finally... lost his mind?
"Should we report this to Lady Kletina?" Swell hesitated, closed the book to sense his surroundings, and quickly shook his head.
"It seems this won't work. The 'Demon King of Time' form is a huge burden on Lady Kletina, and the Hero Shana is about to emerge from the Death Forest. The greatest enemy the Demon King's Castle will face next will be..."
Swell turned the pages gently, his tone calm as he prepared to deliver a precise prediction that he had calculated dozens of times.
The pages of the book paused in mid-air.
A strange sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart, and Swell shuddered violently.
At that moment, a sudden surge of knowledge, like a falling meteor, leaped onto the page.
The previously flawless answer was completely disrupted, and among the 1,400 calculations that guaranteed victory, there was... yet another unknown answer!
A fear of the unknown gripped the book demon's pages in an instant.
Swell's tone became more astonished than ever before:
"Wait, wait... something's not right... what's going on..."
"Impossible... Such a thing... could never happen!!!"
The book trembled violently, and Swell's authority of "knowledge" suddenly extended outward. He seemed to sense something and looked out the window in disbelief.
Without any summons, a pure and dazzling holy light suddenly burst forth outside the Demon King's castle—!
The magical aura, surpassing even the highest level, pierced through the layers of restrictions of the Demon King's city as easily as paper, enveloping a space within a hundred miles.
"—It's him?!!"
Swell was stunned speechless. Such powerful light magic could only have come from the hand of one person.
The authority of knowledge operated almost instinctively, and as the light surged forth, the effects of this extraordinary magic quickly became apparent, allowing Swell to swiftly understand its function:
"Capture... a hundred miles away... dense aura of light... penetrates... teleportation?!"
A flash of inspiration struck me, and I finally connected all the knowledge within the book.
"Oops!!!"
Swell turned around abruptly and looked behind him at the hero Mino, who was caught in the light, and felt a chill run down his spine.
It still miscalculated one thing—
Why would that hero of sin swagger across the path of heroes so casually, as if he hadn't thought of anything at all...?
Why would the human kingdoms make such a grand announcement, publicly broadcasting the attack on Mino in the Demon King's castle, giving them time to prepare their countermeasures?
Why is it that, even though the demons under the Demon King's command always have an overwhelming advantage when facing the Demon King's castle, humans still planned such a reckless and foolish operation...?
Swell's pages trembled violently, and it was only at this moment that he calculated the answer:
"It's all... a lie."
Those grand gestures were merely a smokescreen set up by humans.
They didn't hesitate to use kingdoms and heroes as bait, all to conceal humanity's most powerful "trump card"... a terrifying existence as mysterious and unpredictable as Minotaur!!!
Appearing at this most fatal moment, it performed a miracle—no, it was practically magic—that overturned the knowledge system of this book demon!
That person, and only that person, could accomplish such a thing.
In fact, he was the one who orchestrated this plan from the very beginning! He was the first to leave the capital, he manipulated this demon strategist with ease, and he performed the impossible miracle: appearing outside the Demon King's castle with the power of a holy archmage, unnoticed by anyone!
How terrifying are humans... to possess such chilling intelligence!
It completely forgot the sensational effect that would be caused if that reclusive pillar of humanity were to make a move!
The pages of the Book Demon trembled slightly, and with a dazzling light, the human's name appeared:
The Kingdom's Morning Star, Ang Lac.
He orchestrated this miraculous rescue plan that saved the hero Mino from the Demon King's castle!
Swell's mind went blank.
"We've been tricked...!"
……
Kingdom of Kuer, Royal Capital Square.
As a sacred aura permeated the air above the palace, and a gray mist obscured the azure sky above, countless sounds of swallowing saliva rose from the square as people stared intently at the gradually clearing projection of the round table.
No one noticed that in the bright sunshine, a clear, silvery moon outlined its shape, bringing with it a solid aura that pierced through the illusion!
The next moment, the round table projection solidified into a physical form.
The entire population stared in disbelief.
Watching their hero step out from the portal shimmering with teleportation energy—
……
In the dense, deadly forest, a faint heat seemed to rise from the air.
The red-haired girl pressed her hand against the Demon Eye, gazing at the clearly visible outline of the castle in the distance, her emotions soaring and trembling like never before:
"That is... the Demon King's Castle."
His blood surged violently, dense demonic energy entered his nostrils, and his fiery red eyes gradually brightened.
Shana gripped the holy sword tightly in her hand.
From the moment she stepped into the Demon Realm, she was no longer a girl with a chuunibyou (delusional) spirit, but the terminator of all evil and the greatest hope of all mankind!
There are a thousand reasons to convince her not to take another step forward, but just one reason is enough to make her keep going:
"Because I am a true hero!"
With a burning determination in her eyes, Shana stepped forward, looking at the sinister behemoth before her, her heart no longer filled with fear.
Silly brother, I'll do it...
A ray of light shone atop the Demon King's castle.
In an instant, the dazzling holy light illuminated the dark sky as if it were daytime, flickering, spreading, melting, and vibrating with a terrifying aura that tore through space, and finally... it erupted from the center of the Demon King's city!
The immense magical power, like a torrent, swept towards him with no way to escape—
"Eh?"
……
The Demon King's Castle, Throne Hall.
