You want to force me to be the devil, right?

Chapter 221 The Deepest Part of the Dark Forest! The Soul of the Red Dragon Queen!
Damn Zilean!
If it weren't for my people, why would I obey his orders?

A fake demon king!
Despicable villain!
You will be killed by the real Demon King sooner or later!

Unfortunately!
I won't live to see that day!

Meilansha let out a soft sigh, her heart filled with sorrow.

She had no choice; due to special circumstances, the snake demon clan had to rely on Kilan's power within the demon realm.

The price she pays is that she has to work for Kieran.

But even though she did many things for Kieran, she could not escape freedom.

He was even ordered by Kieran to assassinate the female knight named Oresya.

But this female knight...

Milansha tilted her head slightly, her eerie green eyes beneath her cloak and hood fixed on Auresia's retreating figure.

I felt utterly helpless!

She felt that her power was so weak in front of Orestia!
Even getting close to the other person is a problem!

That terrifying knight's breathing technique left her helpless!

Damn!

Auresia also took note of Milansa's gaze.

She could sense that the snake demon harbored a strange murderous intent towards her.

However, due to the serpent demon's special nature, she needed to bring this woman back to the rear base camp for Malensis to make the final decision.

"Senior Oresea!"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a familiar call startled Aurelia.

She immediately turned her gaze toward the source of the sound and saw three familiar figures running toward her.

"Shane?"

Aurelia was somewhat surprised and didn't understand why Shane would be here.

"Why are you here?"

Aurelia raised her hand to stop the group, then asked Shane.

"I'm here to participate in the practical training at Saint Hua Academy," Xia En replied.

"You...aren't you a first-year student?"

Aurelia was puzzled.

"Don't dwell on it so much," Xia En casually changed the subject, saying, "How have you been lately? Have you gotten injured?"

As he spoke, Xia En glanced at the snake demon behind him.

The snake demon didn't have a long snake tail; it still had human legs.

Moreover, her face was hidden under the cloak, and her hair was also not visible...

“I wasn’t injured,” Aurelia shook her head and replied, “but I didn’t gain much either, not as much as you.”

"?"

Xia En was surprised by this answer.

I'm better than you!

Lophis was also puzzled by this answer.

What does it mean to be inferior to Xia En?
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Xia En is the Demon King; how could these demon minions possibly compare to him?

"Why...why did you come here too?"

Aurelia looked at Mina and Lophis and asked.

“Naturally, because I’m responsible for his safety,” Lofis replied, glancing coldly at Xia En.

"I see." Aurelia nodded slightly, then looked at Mina and asked, "And what about you?"

"Of course I'll stay with Xia En... no!"

Mina shook her head and continued, "I'm here like the third-year students, to witness the cruelty of the battlefield and prepare for future wars!"

"So that's it."

After understanding the situation, Aurelia turned her gaze back to Shane and said, "The front line is now the most dangerous part of the battlefield. You should come back to the rear camp with me first."

“No rush.” Xia En shook his head and asked, “Could I take a look at the snake demon we captured?”

"A snake demon? Are you interested in her?"

Aurelia turned around and looked at the snake demon imprisoned in the cage.

“Of course, it’s rumored that snake demons control the reward and punishment system of the demon realm and are the demon king’s most loyal servants,” Xia En said with a smile. “Most importantly, they have eyes that can petrify any living being. I wonder if that’s true?”

"Of course it's fake."

Aurelia shook her head and replied, "While it does have the ability to petrify, not all living beings can be petrified; it depends on the strength of the individual."

"Really? But I've also heard..."

Xia En walked to the cage, squatted down, and looked at the snake demon curled up in the corner.

He chuckled softly, "Their snake tails taste absolutely delicious!"

"???"

Upon hearing Xia En's words, Meilansha immediately revealed a look of fear and hostility.

But when she saw Shane's eyes, that hostility suddenly vanished.

It was as if an acquaintance was joking with her.

Who is he?
Milansha blinked incredulously, not understanding why the other person was a human.

Moreover, this was their first time meeting.

Why do I feel so much affection for him?
What exactly is going on?

As for Milansha's doubts, Xia En simply smiled.

Because of the complex look in the other person's eyes, she could already be certain that she had a slight sense of her own identity.

As the Demon King's most loyal servants, they have a natural attraction to the Demon King's aura.

"Ugh, you're such a pervert, you actually wanted to eat her tail..." Mina retorted after hearing Xia En's words.

"Hahaha, just a joke."

Shaun shook his head, stood up, and asked Aurelia, "What do you plan to do with her?"

“Hand her over to Malensis,” Orestia replied. “She will judge this woman’s sins.”

"Because she's a special snake demon?" Xia En asked curiously.

"Ah."

Aurelia nodded. "Snake demons usually follow the Demon King. Perhaps we can learn some information about the Demon King from her."

"I see."

Xia En nodded thoughtfully, then said, "But judging from the distance, we probably won't be able to reach the rear camp before dark. Will we have to march at night?"

"No need."

Aurelia shook her head again. "A few kilometers further on, there are outposts set up by the Dawn Empire's army. You can spend the night there."

"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. This place is kind of scary; who knows what might appear after dark?" Xia En said, raising his voice slightly.

"Ah."

……

Deepest part of the dark forest.

Kieran and several demons were entering a deep cave.

The place is filled with fiery red crystals, which illuminate the dark cave and release intense energy.

Even high-level demons felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

"Damn, I can't breathe."

"Is this the oppression of the Red Dragon's fire? Will we not suffer her wrath and perish here?"

"Shut up! With King Zilean leading us, what are you afraid of?"

"Exactly! Trust King Kieran, okay?"

The demons tried to find a reason to eliminate the fear in their hearts.

Kieran, who was walking at the front, adopted an arrogant attitude, enjoying their flattery.

But inwardly, he was cursing:
'That damned Red Dragon Queen, how can she retain such immense power even after her physical body was destroyed!'

'Hmph! But it is precisely this power that can save me from my current predicament!'
