Chapter 114: The Fake Hero "The Hero's Mission..."
Ever since the laboratory was blown up, Hua Lie Ke has been sending messages to Avida every now and then, expressing his opinions and taking the opportunity to get involved.
Throwing stones at others and taking advantage of others' misfortunes are typical of a demon like him.
If he hadn't sent the message so subtly—even if the Demonic Customs Office had seen it, they wouldn't have associated it with the hottest case in the Demonic Realm—Avida would have blocked him.
The reason for not blocking the devil is that the other party will change the contact number and continue to send messages to her, so it is better to put him in the do not disturb list now.
Avida and Kaluyeger were watching the news report "The Demon Princess announces her marriage to Thunder King Baal..." when her phone suddenly rang. Picking up the phone, she heard a loud clamor, followed by a muffled "You did it, didn't you?"
I must have been hallucinating. I must have misheard those angry questions. Avida hung up the phone immediately without any guilt.
"Did the other party make a mistake?"
In response to Kaluyeger's question, Iveda nodded calmly, without a trace of guilt on her face. "The leakage of personal information in the demon world is also very serious right now."
On the news, evidence that Baal had staged the crisis at Derby Forest was dominating the television screen.
Because Kaluyeger was shocked by the news, his attention was all on it, and he would not argue whether Aveda's answer was true or not just by making a phone call.
But there are demons in the Naberius family who will carefully judge every word of Avida and their trust level is zero.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Faced with Iveda's visit, which was obviously for fun, Narnia also calmed down and calmly did not respond to her.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Iveda twirled her cup, taking advantage of Narnia's politeness. "Aren't you worried he'll turn you in? Have you destroyed all the evidence of your collusion? Or have you figured out a way to exonerate yourself from the very beginning?"
Narnia said nothing, but just looked up at Avida, her expression still unmoved.
Iveda came to the Magic Gate Agency for other matters, and just came to see if Narnia would be worried about Baal's problems. After all, he had worked closely with Baal in the past.
As expected, crime has to be done professionally. Avida suspected that Narnia had a lot of experience in arresting and interrogating criminals, and he already knew how to avoid being caught.
He didn't even feel like he was committing a crime.
After all, the other party is a demon who insists on the theory that "the demon world is the world of the noble demon clan" and naturally thinks that his actions are justified.
But maybe the demons have been separated from humans for too long, and their definition of the word "noble" has changed.
"When all the accusations are directed at one person, and you want to clear yourself of the blame..." Seeing that the time for her appointment with the other demons from the Demon Gate Agency was approaching, Iveda stopped chatting with Narnia, who had a good mental state, to pass the time, and left an unfinished piece of advice when she said goodbye.
Although Avida knew that Baal had been the Thirteenth Crown for so many years, his influence could not be underestimated.
But she didn't expect that after the truth was revealed, there were still many demons supporting him.
His idea of wanting the demon world to fall into a chaotic state without a hierarchy was actually shared by so many demons.
The brave man couldn't understand. Chaos and disorder weren't about redistributing benefits. So what were so many demons who agreed with the idea so excited about?
Could it be that she was not a demon and could not return to her original form, so she could not understand? Confused, Avida thought about it seriously. If Baal's plan could succeed, would the demon world be considered to have regressed from feudal society to primitive society?
Did demons in primitive society often visit the human world?
Wouldn't that mean the hero's mission will come then?
Could it be that she was supposed to be reincarnated into a parallel universe where Baal's plan succeeded? With sudden enlightenment, Aveda felt as if she had seen through a divine secret.
While the hero was free to think, the other demons in the demon world were not idle at all.
Bali was finally convicted, but he refused to be arrested and even "got out" of prison with his own strength.
Even though such a big thing happened in the demon world, the TS plan was not terminated.
There is even an unspoken rule that is silently accepted by the public.
The candidate who solves the problem of Thunder King Baal will become the new Demon King.
So, when the incomplete Thirteen Crowns met, this rule was brought up at the meeting.
After the meeting, the TV news reported the new judging rules for the TS program.
After seeing this result, Kaluyege pondered for a long time.
"Are you worried about Iruma?" Avida asked as she brought a plate of fruits she had received today and invited Kaluyege to taste them.
Kaluyeger, who had a thought in his mind but would never express it verbally, forked up a piece of red fruit and said, "A demon who can resolve this matter is indeed qualified to become a demon king, but for these newly graduated candidates, the danger level is also very high."
"Are you admitting that you're worried about the students who have graduated?"
Kaluyeger changed the subject awkwardly. He looked at the fruit on the plate, which he had never seen in the demon land, and asked, "Is this fruit from the demon tribe?"
The vases on the dining table were also filled with new flowers that were different from before.
"Yes, a friend gave it to her." Iveda also tasted the fruit. "It can be considered as a kind of reciprocity. I gave her many rare books."
Avida felt that the Demon Princess would be quite satisfied with the translated human novel about imprisoned love.
Those are all rare treasures.
Afterwards, Thunder King Baal and his men did hold out for a long time, but were eventually defeated and imprisoned.
Then the candidate for the new Demon King was also determined.
Even though it was already known that Iruma was a human, it was already a foregone conclusion that he would become the Demon King.
Not only does he have the support of many powerful demon families behind him, but his performance has also been obvious to all.
"Are you unhappy?" Kaluyeger, who didn't really want to attend the party held at Sullivan's house but was dragged there by Balam, noticed Iveda in the corner after avoiding Opera's dessert harassment.
In such a lively scene, she leaned against the wall, holding a wine glass in her hand, watching quietly.
She should be happier.
Iruma becoming the Demon King was the future she had always firmly believed in.
"It's a rare opportunity to strike a lonely pose as a villain." Iveda, who was lamenting that she would soon break this joy, was trying to find the feeling of a villain.
She was defeated in a second after Kaluyeger's concerned question.
"Huh?" Kaluyeg's headache came again.
"Oh, I mean to ask you to kiss me." The hero successfully disrupted the atmosphere and the devil's thoughts.
Finally, Avida waited for the Demon King's coronation ceremony.
The Demon King's coronation ceremony had not been held for a long time, and the demon world was plunged into a long-lost grand and lively atmosphere on this day.
The protagonist of the lively ceremony, Iruma, who is already a demon king, still can't believe that he has really become a demon king.
He still remembered the time when he was sold by his unscrupulous parents and kidnapped to the demon world. He was afraid that the demons would find out he was a human and eat him, so he was nervous every day.
Back then, I probably wouldn't have thought of this day...
The post-coronation celebrations continued the lively atmosphere of the ceremony. In the middle of the night, with his friends already drunk, Iruma suddenly found himself unable to sleep. He went to the courtyard and gazed at the two moons at night, his thoughts drifting away...
He suddenly remembered the day Baal lost.
He actually dared to be defeated by a young boy who was just starting out and was even a human. The demon opposite him fell to the ground in disbelief, and the fact that he couldn't support himself to stand made him doubt the authenticity of reality.
Of course he was not convinced.
At this helpless moment, he saw familiar eyes among the crowd of demons next to him.
The failure of every member of the Six Fingers Clan was instantly linked together, and every link that led to the failure of the plan was deliberately designed.
"Do you think you achieved victory on your own?
Your demon crown will be your death curse."
Iruma still remembered that when he said this, his eyes were fixed on a certain place.
It was as if there was some terrifying beast hidden there.
Iruma also looked back at the scene in his memory. Where exactly was that...
"What are you thinking about so absentmindedly?"
The sound that rang in his ears startled Iruma.
Baal was looking at the speaker, and Iruma suddenly realized that he was the teacher Avida who was talking to him at that moment.
Iruma's personality didn't change much after becoming the Demon King. Even though his sixth sense made him feel uneasy about the person in front of him, he still smiled and said, "What can I do for you, Teacher Avida?"
"Now, Demon King Iruma-san, you should call me a hero now."
Brave?
Asmodeus, who followed Iruma out, also heard the words from a distance.
Confused, he wondered why Avida spoke words, and then fell into darkness.
This was the last sentence he heard before he passed out.
When Asmodeus woke up, he saw the scene of Lord Iruma and Teacher Avida arguing with each other. He thought he was dreaming.
As far as Asmodeus could remember, the demon world had never experienced such gloomy weather.
The legendary demon A finally brought destruction as rumored.
He watched as his friends, like moths to a flame, fell to the ground lifeless before they could even get close to her.
He was easily lifted up after breaking free from his restraints. The rumored Devil A said to Iruma-sama, "Are you sure you want to let your friends die for nothing?"
Asmodeus could see clearly that what was in the dimness was not darkness, but the piled-up corpses of the Thirteen Crowns.
After the shock came the fear. For the first time, Asmodeus felt that the gap in strength was as huge as the abyss between heaven and earth. Finally, anger took over, and the blue flame flickered in the darkness.
"Does it take too long to think about this question?" The blue light disappeared before it could even shine brightly.
Iruma watched as Teacher Avida threw Asmodeus's body aside like trash.
Iruma didn't understand why the attitude of Teacher Avida when he first met her seemed to be no different from that of the brave lady who was standing against him now.
Even the curve of her smile didn't change.
How could there be such a huge difference? The teacher who cared about whether he should return to the human world was now just a ruthless executioner.
"Shouldn't a hero be just?"
"From the perspective of humans, killing demons is indeed justice."
"But they did nothing wrong!"
"Then why are you asking me? You should ask the God who wrote destiny."
The Demon King, knowing that he had no chance of winning, still charged towards the hero without hesitation.
He had no room to retreat, nor the option of admitting defeat.
Those smiling faces that were destroyed one by one in the hands of the hero, those warm scenes that he never got when he was a human were all buried under the hero's scythe.
He could only move forward.
Sadness and anger, no matter how strong you are, will not help.
The remaining demons could only see the fallen figure of the Demon King, floating lightly, as if insignificant.
The human, whose hands were stained with blood, raised his index finger to those who wanted to whimper, "Shh, don't disturb my victory."
The moment the Demon King fell, the moment his heart stopped beating, the hero finally heard the long-lost system voice.
"The hero's mission has been completed, and the hero's status has been lifted."
