Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 8 I, Lin En, am the Holy Emperor of the Human Race...

Pushing open the door and walking into the Lin Mansion, I was greeted by a smell of decay.

Speaking of which, the place where he has been active in the Miracle World in recent years is the City of Light which is further north. He has indeed not been to the residence in Tianming City for some years.

The main reason is that it is more convenient to gain battlefield merit and fight demon monsters in the City of Light. If it were not for the Demon Dragon King leading his army to the World Tree in the last chapter, he might not have had the chance to come to the City of Destiny, which is located in the center of the continent and far away from the front battlefield.

“The weeds here are outrageous.”

The yard, which had not been taken care of for a long time, was overgrown with weeds, the tallest ones even sticking out of the wall.

Lin En has the money to hire someone to clean the house, but he is a newcomer and doesn't know where to hire a cleaning lady, so he can only deal with it himself for the time being.

Anyway, he used to use his Wushuang to mow down monsters all year round. It’s hard to say about his other abilities, but he was really good at mowing down monsters.

"The Sword of the Holy Emperor, please... Damn it!"

Although using the holy sword to cut grass seemed a bit of a waste of talent, Lin En, who was used to his exclusive weapon, immediately took out the Holy Emperor Sword from the space ring.

But before he could actually use the holy sword to cut the grass, he felt an extremely intense burning sensation in his right hand holding the Holy Emperor's sword, as if it had been ignited.

"Kang Dang"

The sound of metal falling to the ground was heard, and the Holy Emperor Sword, which was regarded as a treasure by Lin En and was the only one in the entire server, fell to the dusty ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Is this... being repelled by it?
Lin En raised his right hand which was burned red, looked at the Holy Emperor's sword covered with dust on the ground, and his mind was confused for a moment.

This Holy Emperor Sword had been with him for at least three years, accompanying him on his conquests, campaigns, and battles, through countless battles. In the game, it was a special artifact, a piece of equipment tied to him as the top player, practically a part of his body. Why would it suddenly reject him?
Moreover, this rejection was so intense, as if they had a deep blood feud and wanted to burn him to death.

"wrong……"

After a moment of silence, Lin En faintly sensed something. This strong repulsion was unfamiliar to him, yet he seemed to have seen it somewhere before...

"Holy Emperor Armor!"

As he was thinking, Lin En dug out another exclusive artifact, the Holy Emperor Armor, which he had only worn once. This time, before he could equip it, the same burning sensation came again.

"Holy Sword of Light!"

This was the weapon Lin En had when he was level 700. He had kept it because he had used it for a long time. As he expected, this holy weapon would also burn him.

"Staff of Judgment!"

This is the weapon Lin En used when he was level 500. It is a relatively popular piece of equipment, but because it was out of print in subsequent updates, Lin En also collected one. Similarly, it is also very popular.

"Golden Sword!"

This was the weapon Lin En used in an earlier period, before he became a Saint-level warrior. Because of its gorgeous appearance, Lin En also kept one, but when he held this golden sword, he did not feel the burning sensation.

"Silver wristbands!"

"Shadowless Battle Axe!" "Dragon Soul Necklace!"

"Demon-slaying armor!"

……

Afterwards, Lin En tried more than a dozen types of equipment in succession, not only weapons, but also other equipment of various levels. Their usage levels ranged from high to low, ranging from early collectible equipment to active equipment above level 900.

But without exception, the equipment I tried later did not cause any problems and everything worked normally when I wore and used it.

"Sure enough, this feeling is similar to the increased damage I saw on demons when I killed them... It's really only light-type equipment that repels me..."

After a series of experiments, Lin En almost came to the conclusion that it was not his exclusive artifact that was repelling him, but all equipment with light attributes was restraining him.

"Have I become a demon? You treat me like this!"

Looking at the "old friends" and "new loves" scattered all over the floor, Lin En was indignant.

The light attribute restrains the demons and demonized creatures of the dark attribute, and also restrains the undead creatures of the undead system. But Lin En is very sure that he is still alive. His face is so tender that it can be pinched to reveal a scoop of water. How could he be an undead?

Then the answer is obvious, he must have been tainted by evil.

In the game setting, any normal creature has the possibility of being demonized, which naturally includes players.

However, unlike the natives who will completely become demonized creatures once they are demonized, players who are outsiders will get rid of the demonized state and return to normal after one death.

During the demonization period, the demonized players will become red-named in the eyes of all NPCs and players, and will be hunted down wherever they go. Once they dare to enter any city, they will be attacked by the system NPC. If there are players who are interested in his equipment or have a grudge against him, they will not miss the opportunity and will join forces with the NPC to resurrect him.

There was once a level 900 demigod player who was accidentally demonized by the Greedy Demon Lord. After that, he was reluctant to give up the experience points that would be deducted if he died, and he didn't want to take the risk of losing equipment, so he maintained the red name status for a long time.

But as time went on, his supplies started to become a problem. He couldn't go back to the city to buy potions, which made it very difficult for him to level up by killing monsters or to get equipment from bosses. He had to ask his relatives and friends to bring him some for such a small matter. As the number of times increased and the distance became longer, people became annoyed.

In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he simply traded his valuable equipment to his relatives and friends, and then found someone to kill him. He only lost some experience points and started a new life.

Lin En had never been demonized before, because the players' attributes as outsiders made them less likely to be contaminated by demonic energy. As long as they were serious when facing the demon boss, they would usually not be demonized.

Only the top-level super bosses have a higher probability of demonizing players. There are only seven of them in the entire miracle world, namely the seven demon kings of pride, jealousy, wrath, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.

Uh, wait a minute... maybe the World Boss, the Dragon King, is also a possibility? Otherwise, how else can we explain the traces of demonization on him?

Uh, wait a minute... Then why didn't he turn red? He had just met a lot of system NPCs and even entered the human main city, but no one attacked him...

So he...isn't actually demonized?

How could the equipment with light attributes burn him?
Is it possible that I wasn't demonized, but was originally a demon? Native demons can disguise themselves to avoid being named and sneak into cities of other tribes to gather intelligence. Their identities are only revealed when they are in combat.

I, Lin En, the dignified Holy Emperor of the human race, can't possibly be a demon! Impossible...right?
