"An important person? Could it be a friend of His Highness Xiao Han?"
Radiance looked completely bewildered, while the necromancer cleared away the burning flames and straightened his robes.
On the shore, amidst jagged rocks, a handsome young man sat, clutching a pendant, gazing at the undulating waves, lost in thought.
Having just escaped from Kosenberg, he was burdened with a heavy debt that left him breathless!
The idea of a newbie demon king starting with nothing is enough to make one's heart ache.
If only I had been with Evelyn, drinking wine, eating soft and sweet bread, and enjoying tender, pan-fried steak.
"Hiss..."
The waves rolled and surged, sending whitecaps crashing onto the beach and splashing large sprays of water.
Touching his face, which twitched slightly, Xiao Han had the urge to slap himself more than once.
I'm asking for trouble!
As for the future, well, he planned to find a decent job in town first and save money to pay off his debts, but the meager salary quickly shattered his dream of becoming a lazy bum.
"Being a demon king who can eat two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) is too hard for me."
Xiao Han sighed helplessly, looking weary.
"Catch the sword."
A soft murmur rang out. Behind her, looking at the dazed Xiao Han, Oufina frowned and tossed the sword to him.
Upon handling it, the hilt was wrapped in black scales, three inches wide and one meter long. When swung, the blade reflected a sharp light that seemed to cleave through the void.
At the tip of the sword, a layer of dark red cloud patterns appeared, like a dazzling spark blooming, eye-catching and vibrant.
Item: Obsidian Sword (Fine)
Grade: Bronze
Introduction: Trustworthy for beginners... Oh, sorry, wrong manuscript (this section has been deleted)
Introduction (New): This is a magnificent sword forged primarily from the essence of obsidian, supplemented by mithril, and blessed by the radiance of the moon.
[So sharp it can cut through iron like mud, so powerful it can sever a hair with a breath; even the noble Kobe beef deserves a beer in return as a sign of respect.]
Xiao Han touched the Obsidian Sword, his fingers tracing the smooth surface, feeling as if it were made of fine silk. But when he caught a glimpse of dark red, Xiao Han's brows furrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Such a good feel, and suddenly a splatter of blood appears. Is this sword a virgin that has just been deflowered?
Xiao Han was puzzled and turned to look at Oufina, but the mature and aloof woman left him with only a slender back view.
Why do you insist on rescuing me?
Why pay such a heavy price?
Is it worth it?
Xiao Han couldn't help but want to clarify Oufina's losses. She had gone bankrupt for a rookie demon king, truly losing everything.
Furthermore, there is currently no sign of recouping the losses. If Xiao Han were the creditor, he would definitely wake up in the middle of the night and want to slap himself hundreds of times. Has he lost his mind?
Is it worth it?
Ofina's heterochromatic eyes occasionally revealed a look of confusion.
No, it's not a question of whether it's worth it or not.
In the next instant, the confusion was replaced by a firm belief.
"Your Highness, I have urgent business to attend to. I'll take my leave now. Please be careful."
After giving a reminder and exchanging a few words with Radiant, Fallen Wings, wreathed in ominous power, unfurled from Snow's back. The next moment, with a light step, she transformed into a streak of black lightning and vanished into the sea of clouds.
The fallen angel rich woman who brought pressure (or perhaps motivation) to Xiao Han abandoned him and ran away.
This action startled Xiao Han, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.
so……
What exactly did you do after freeing me from my decadent and degenerate otaku life?
What does it mean to abandon me and run away?
The debt doesn't have to be repaid?
The indebted rookie demon king immediately thought about his own financial situation.
Xiao Han muttered a few words to himself, stroking the obsidian sword, thinking to himself that such top-quality equipment must be very valuable.
Name: Xiao Han
Race: Crimson Demon Lord (Superior Species)
Occupation: A rookie mage burdened with enormous debt
Rank: Bronze Tier 2 (Early Stage)
Experience points: 2.6%
Skills: [Demonic Eye] (Iron Rank), [Steal] (Bronze Rank), [Fire Control] (Bronze Rank)
Divinely Bestowed Skills: [Eviscerate] (Iron Tier), [Thrust] (Bronze Tier), [Multi-Slash] (Bronze Tier)
Talents: [Mastery of Learning] [Keyboard Immortal]
Potential: Not yet unlocked (I'm Zhong Kui, the gold miner!)
Skill Tree: Unawakened (A bunch of terrible teammates, what a disaster!!)
Oops, wrong show... Sorry, sorry...
In the divine contract that Ophina forcibly enforced, the necromancer transferred the skill [Eviscerate], while [Thrust] and [Multi-Slash] were probably transferred from Ophina, the magic swordsman.
[Thrust]!
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, and a surge of surging power erupted from his body. His taut muscles provided amazing power. In an instant, the Obsidian Sword disappeared into the void, turning into a flash of black light!
"hiss!"
The gas exploded suddenly, tearing the air apart and creating a series of ear-piercing sounds like glass slicing.
"boom!"
Suddenly, Xiao Han stopped in his tracks and thrust out his sword!
In an instant, the kinetic energy carried by the Obsidian Sword condensed into a single point, converging at the tip of the sword. Dark red cloud patterns surged, and a cluster of flames exploded instantly!
The void was pierced, and a burst of flames swept through!
This is comparable to a low-level spell like Fireball; the damage is considerable!
Imagine, such a brutal skill, in the midst of battle, the tip of the sword suddenly bursts into flames, especially when it pierces through the enemy's body, it would be a huge surprise!
After Xiao Han exclaimed how amazing the Broken Melon Blood was, the blue bar representing magic power instantly decreased by one-third.
A single thrust skill consumed 33% of my mana!
Xiao Han's eyes widened. He wanted to unleash [Multiple Slash], but the latter would definitely consume no less magic energy than [Thrust]!
Sheathing his sword, Xiao Han went straight to Guanghui and asked directly.
"Radiance, what are your master's plans after rescuing me?"
"In the name of the Demon King."
Glorious flapped its wings and responded.
"In the name of the Demon King?"
Xiao Han frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But then, I recalled it from the book.
The Demon King is the demon god of the abyss, the will of the Midland continent.
If we consider the Demon King as a position, they are essentially the Demon God's employees, scavenging resources and opening up battlefields for the Abyss Demon Realm.
Unlike the gods of the divine realm who vie for the power of faith, the demon realm values the plunder of the continent's material resources most.
After all, the realm of gods is rich, while the abyss and demon realm is extremely barren, with most places not even receiving sunlight and shrouded in death.
The continent of Midland is a battlefield carved out by the divine realm and the demonic realm through their agents, each vying for control of the other.
This is what Xiao Han learned from books. It is because of the existence of the God Realm and the Demon Realm that there are epic legends of heroes and demon kings that have lasted for thousands of years.
The Fallen Angels, because the Demon God Lucifer was once a powerful figure in the divine realm, would not develop the will of a Demon King even after falling into darkness. Therefore, the Fallen Angels assisted various Demon Kings and were entrusted with important responsibilities. They were given the title of "Hand of the Demon King" by many forces on the Midland Continent, and their status was equivalent to that of a prime minister of a country, a key minister by the side of the Demon King.
