Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 199 You won't mind, will you?

"Your Majesty, that is not the case."

Alice was confident. "The Shanks' faction reveres the physical and loves nature. Apart from holding meetings in the city at the beginning and end of each month, they spend the rest of their time leading their clansmen of Demon King rank or higher to cultivate in the Demon Mountain [Giant Tower]. At this time, only four legendary-level guards will remain in his palace, two guarding the palace gates and two guarding the main hall. As long as you bypass them, you can easily reach the throne."

"Circle?"

Ling Chuan gave a wry smile. "Leaving aside whether we can get around this, the very fact that he has the bloodline of an ancient royal family is a huge problem."

Alice smiled and said, "Your Majesty need not worry about bloodlines; your subordinates have a solution."

"What is it?"

"camouflage."

As she spoke, Alice raised her staff and pointed it at him, and a beam of dazzling white light poured into his head.

[Ding] System notification: [Demon Butterfly Queen Alice] used [Magic Skill Inheritance] on you. Congratulations on learning the active skill [Disguise - Legendary].

"camouflage?"

[Disguise - Legendary] (SSS)

Active skills

Skill effect: Conceals one's true information after use. Under normal circumstances, enemy factions and allies of the same faction whose rank is lower than [Demon Emperor·Crucian] cannot see through the true appearance. The effect has no time limit and can be turned off by releasing the skill again.

Skill Description: This skill can only be used by demons.

……

"Disguise skill... but my rank is only Silver."

"Yes."

Alice continued, "But your bloodline is that of an ancient royal family, so when facing demons below the level of a demon god, they can see through your information, but they cannot see through your bloodline."

Huh? There's such a thing?

But then again, remembering that the official Divine Revelation organization was known for its control over language, he quickly understood.

As for the fact that he could still see through Alice's disguise even though his rank was lower than Alice's, he still had some doubts. His gaze returned to the skill bar, where a demonic eye icon with blood-red eyes and golden pupils was flashing.

【Eye of the Demon Emperor】(No Rank)
Special skill
Skill effect: After use, it can see through all the disguises of the demons and reveal the true origin of truth.

Skill Description: Ancient Royal Talent
Skill Description: A special talent possessed by ancient royalty, often awakened with legendary disguise. If one can confront legendary disguise, this ability can be awakened.

……

This... can probably only be described as a coincidence; the skill and [Disguise - Legendary] are causally related, and coincidentally, Alice appeared in front of him in a legendary disguise, and he also possessed the bloodline of an ancient royal family, so the awakening conditions were met in an instant.

To call it a coincidence is a bit too much of a coincidence. What's the probability of that happening? Or is it that Alice and the [Ancient Royal Family] are actually a fixed pairing for this main quest?!
Yes, there's no mistake! The more Ling Chuan thought about it, the more he felt his deduction was correct; the legendary disguise that only the ancient royal family could see through, the condition for awakening the ancient royal family's talent; plus Alice knowing so much about the demon race and believing that he could avenge her; the series of plot designs were too ingenious, as ingenious as a key and a secret door, as long as you touch it, you can open a new world.

Let's look at the description of the legendary disguise: "Unless there are special circumstances" and "It cannot be seen through by enemies or players of the same faction whose rank is lower than Alice's". The former targets variables, such as his Demon Emperor's Eye; the latter seals off the triggerer - the enemy faction. In other words, as long as you are a normal player, it is impossible to see through Alice's true appearance and it is impossible to trigger Alice's quest.

However, the point about "fellow factions" is worth considering; it did not completely block the demon race like it did the Imperial Federation. Of course, it may be to emphasize Alice's "traitorous race" and her wanted status, but if that's all there is to it, there's no need to show it in the information. Anyway, players belonging to the Imperial Federation can't see the real information, so it doesn't matter how you explain it if it's not written down.

In conclusion, since he wrote this message, it was intended for a specific group of people to see.

Combined with his previous speculation about the first person to establish a demonic force, it can be basically concluded that there is some kind of "special group" in the demon realm. This statement from the official is establishing another trigger path!
Assuming no one triggers [Twin Demons], this "special group" becomes the second path to trigger [Alice]; however, the trigger conditions have extremely high limits, requiring them to become the Supreme Demon King and enter the inner swamp!

"Now that you have the ability to freely enter and leave the Demon Realm, all you need to do to enter Shanksius's palace is to learn a stealth technique."

Ling Chuan, whose mind was racing, snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, and with a thought, asked, "Stealth techniques?"

Almost forgot, he had made a decision before. In order to prevent his appearance as a national idol from causing turmoil and congestion on the main city streets, he planned to replicate an advanced stealth skill after entering the main city to make it easier to act discreetly. However, he didn't expect that there would be too many things to do and he wouldn't stay in the main city for long, so it has been put on hold until now.

Alice assumed Ling Chuan's silence stemmed from not knowing where to learn stealth techniques, so she considerately said, "Your Majesty need not feel burdened. Reaching the Radiant Silver level and seeing through your subordinates' disguises shows that Your Majesty has accumulated considerable merit. In the Demon Realm, merit means everything. Strength, weaponry, and skills can all be exchanged at the [Holy Abyss Demon Pool] in the main city's temple."

Oh?!

So that's how it is. So battle merits are the hard currency of the demon realm, strength probably refers to level, weaponry probably refers to the advancement of demon realm weaponry, and skill refers to abilities. If that's the case, battle merits are the most important core resource of this demon body. Since it's the fundamental resource, it's a waste to use it to exchange for stealth skills, and you might not even get a high-quality one. It's better to continue the previous plan after returning to the city tonight and find a "big shot" to replicate it.

"Thank you, Alice, you've been a great help."

With sincere thanks, Ling Chuan smiled. After a conversation, the confusion that had been building up in his heart was resolved, and a future strategy was established. The only thing left was what would happen after death in the demonized state, but there would be plenty of opportunities to explore that later.

"Your Majesty is too kind. Your subordinate is humbled. It is Alice's great honor to be able to share Your Majesty's burden."

I bowed and saluted, and then a system bell rang loudly in my ears.

[Ding] System notification: [Demon Butterfly Queen Alice] acknowledges your abilities and holds boundless expectations for your future. Her loyalty has exceeded its limit. In this state, [Demon Butterfly Queen Alice] abandons her original faith, no longer obeys the [Demon God Temple] faction to which she originally belonged, and instead unconditionally obeys your commands. She will react accordingly to your interactions, love what you love, hate what you hate, and venerate you as the [Demon Lord].

A second familiar has emerged that has broken through the limit. Compared to [Black], who broke through affection, Alice broke through [loyalty]. The titles they worship are also different. [Black] worships him as [God], while [Alice] worships him as [Demon Lord]. They seem to be no different in comparison, but this may be due to the difference in their identities. After all, Kiria also calls Samigina Demon Lord.

"Lord, please accept the Demon Seed and Samigina."

At the same time, Alice, along with the three demon seeds and Samigina, was pushed towards Lingchuan.

Ling Chuan stretched out his hand, paused in mid-air, quickly took the three demon seed crystals, then grasped Samigina's hand and said in a deep voice, "Alice, I will never let you down!"

When it's time to be a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone who acts like a teenager with delusions of grandeur), just be a chuunibyou. Since there's no one else around, you won't feel awkward at all; in fact, you'll feel very dignified and incredibly cool!
"Your Majesty..."

Alice's pretty face flushed slightly, her gaze intense.

Look at him! Aren't you captivated by his imposing presence?
Stay calm and dignified, keep your overwhelming sense of accomplishment to yourself, and then it's time to get back on track and continue taking care of the child.

Thinking of this, just as he was about to click on the Twin Demons, Ling Chuan suddenly seemed to realize something, glanced at Alice, and preemptively said, "Alice, I need to use your courtyard to level up next. Also, the person I'll be leveling up with is your subordinate from outside. You don't mind, do you?"
