Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 189 Speaking Off the Cuff
surprise?

Is it just an illusion? Otherwise, would a mere Radiant Silver-level BOSS possess such highly intelligent emotions?
Even a Gold-level BOSS only possesses an intelligence level of around [4]. At level 4, intelligence can only make simple adjustments based on the battle situation, such as fleeing. But fleeing stems from fear, which is an instinct. Astonishment, however, contains thought, knowledge, and experience. Only when something exceeds one's own understanding will astonishment be displayed! Based on this alone, he could conclude that this BOSS was highly problematic!

"Ancient royalty?!"

The soft, melodious, yet extremely tense, repeated notes entered his ears, causing Ling Chuan's bloodshot eyes to shrink, his shocked expression instantly concealed!
It speaks human language! It even possesses a language system! Deep in his memory, the last non-humanoid BOSS capable of this was the unparalleled [Deep Sea Demon Dolphin]. Even at the Silver level, it could speak—could it be a variant among monsters? Or perhaps, like him in his demonized state, it possesses the hidden skill of [Mastery of Demon Languages]?!

"you are?"

Instead of responding, he asked a question in bewilderment, while subtly casting a detection spell.

The crimson demonic eyes flashed brightly, and Alice's information panel appeared and twisted rapidly a few times. With a crisp shattering sound, an extremely long attribute panel appeared along with a system notification.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on learning the skill [Eye of the Demon Emperor]. This skill can only be used in the [Demonic Twins] demonized state.

Huh? Comprehending a skill? Wait... this is!
There was no time to check the skill information, because the panel in front of me was far more impressive!

Introduction: Formerly the First Supreme Demon King of the Second Demon Temple, the only Light-type demon race; possessing extremely high intelligence and support abilities; however, after the Cataclysm of the Gods, the Thirteen Demon Gods fell into slumber, and the demon race began to stir; as time passed, undercurrents surged, finally erupting a century ago in the Demon Race Upheaval; during this process, several original Supreme Demon Kings were killed by the new ruling power, the Demon Alliance, and the Demon Butterfly Clan was one of them; Alice originally died in the upheaval, but survived due to her talent, the Cocoon Rebirth, and was transferred from the demon race with the life-or-death protection of the former Thirty-Sixth Supreme Demon King, Kiria. Before the Annihilation, she was hidden in the Special Area, Ironwood Swamp, and entrusted to the Swamp King, Scythe Blade, the patriarch of the Demon Blade Clan, whom he had once shown kindness, for shelter and protection. ...

Supreme Demon King level... Former First Demon King of the Second Demon God Temple... Traitor to the Demon Race...

"Who am I? You don't know? You..."

The words, like the chanting of Sanskrit, seemed to strike straight to the soul, pulling Ling Chuan back to his senses.

Looking up, what I saw was no longer the elegant, colorful butterfly silhouette, but a pink-haired woman dressed in neon-colored clothes, carrying four butterfly wings on her back, breathtakingly beautiful.

In her left hand she held a radiant scepter, and in her right hand she gripped a pendant tightly to her chest. Her blue-gold pupils flickered with a mixture of confusion, fear, and shock.

This is incredible! Hidden plot, explosive hidden plot! Judging from the words "Cataclysm of the Gods" in the introduction, it's 90% likely to be part of a world-class main storyline!
With his face flushed and his heart pounding, Ling Chuan couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled!
No! Calm down! This is a secret he had never encountered in his previous life. He must concentrate fully. Besides, he had obtained ample information through his demonic detection techniques. But!

"Should I know?"

That's right, you can't just jump straight in. The opponent is both a traitor to the demon race and carries the [Supreme Order of Slaughter] which is directed against the entire demon race. If he reveals his real name right away, it is very likely to cross his bottom line instantly, and might even summon the true leader of the Ironwood Swamp - the Gold-level BOSS [Swamp King - Scythe Blade].

If this gold-level boss also conceals its true identity, there might not be enough time to develop a strategy before it dies on the spot. Therefore, a planned approach is needed. As long as you know the enemy and guide them patiently, there is always room for negotiation.

"And what about this ancient royal family you mentioned?"

That's right, the first step is to play dumb. It's not hard to tell from Alice's self-reference that his demonic state has an extremely high status. No wonder the description of the demonic state emphasizes "the most traditional demon race" and "higher bloodline" (see Chapter 111: Skeleton) for details. So that's the intention.

Therefore, by making good use of his identity and combining it with a touch of unruliness and nonchalance, he was confident that he could achieve a deeper connection with Alice; of course, even if he couldn't, he still had an ace up his sleeve, an ace that he would never lose.

You're playing dumb!

Alice stared at him in disbelief, her wariness growing even stronger. She felt as if she might crush the pendant in her hand at any moment. Ling Chuan was certain that it was the summoning object that invoked the [Scythe], and it must possess real-time spatial teleportation capabilities!
"calm down."

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chuan sat down on the spot. The best way to dispel someone's hostility is to be in a relaxed state. He wasn't worried about Alice launching a sudden attack because his 12000 health points had long since recovered to over 10000. Although Alice was a top-tier Demon King, in a 99% weakened state, one strike wouldn't be enough to kill her, and he still had a chance to escape.

"I am just a demon who awakened in the wilderness. I have no memory and do not know who I am. During this time, I have traveled through many regions and met many demons, but none of them can communicate with me. Entering this swamp was purely by chance. I discovered this flower field simply because I thought the scenery was beautiful and suddenly had the idea to visit the owner of this area. Oh, I greeted the three guards at the gate, but they ignored me, so I entered your courtyard without permission. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

As the saying goes, a qualified actor must also be an excellent screenwriter. He has long mastered the basic skill of speaking off the cuff.
