Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 143 The Demon King and the Thunder Emperor

Lei Di felt like he was losing his mind.

At the beginning, the Wise King found him and gave him such a task. As a citizen of the Central Empire of Humanity, he had no reason to refuse. But then again, the task of conquering the Ice and Snow Kingdom did not necessarily have to be left to him, the Thunder Emperor. There were other strong people who could take action. If he was unwilling to take action, the Wise King would not blame him.

However, the wise king's flattery like "You are the most powerful magician in my human central empire. You wield the power of thunder and lightning. Who can stop you?" made the Thunder Emperor, who already thought he was invincible, a little bit flattered. Indeed, if it was just about magical attainments, he might not be as good as Adriana, but if it was just about thunder and lightning, he, the Thunder Emperor, was not inferior to anyone in his life.

Even if Adriana used lightning magic to fight against him, she would definitely not be his opponent.

So how difficult could it be to conquer an ice and snow kingdom?

Then the hero and the demon king appeared at the same place at the same time.

Logically speaking, upon learning of this situation, he had already considered fleeing with his army. But then again, he, the Thunder Emperor, was a prominent figure in the Central Human Empire. How could he simply flee upon seeing the Demon King and the Hero? How would he conduct himself when he returned? How could he hold his head high among the nobles? How could he even have the nerve to teach the disciples who had come to him?
From the perspective of interests alone, we cannot withdraw our troops easily.

So he could only play a fake game.

Pretending to fight with others but actually doing nothing, he had already keenly realized that he seemed to be experiencing something very bad. At this time, if he was not careful, something might go wrong.

as predicted!

The brave A. Godora's courage when he is angry makes it impossible for anyone to have any thoughts of resistance. Anyone who stands in his way will die.

The morale of the entire corps suffered a huge blow. It was not an easy task to restore the will of the soldiers. What's more... this corps was not an ordinary corps. They were all related to the "nobles" of the Human Central Empire.

Of course, kinship might be distant—but before the war, everyone was focused on gaining merit. You want to join this expedition without any connections? It's extremely difficult. While not truly a direct descendant of the nobility, it's not permissible for all to perish here. He, the Thunder Emperor, was also a noble, and there were many distant relatives among them, many of whom he couldn't even name.

So this is a really good opportunity. The team's morale is broken, and you insist on asking me to fight? That doesn't make sense!

Do you really think that I, Thunder Emperor, am a pushover?

He himself was quite dissatisfied with the current situation. He always felt that he was being plotted against by the Wise King and Adriana, but then again... he really didn't think too much about it. Theoretically, this war must be fought, but no one really expected the brave man to intervene.

Of course, according to the current situation, Adriana’s target should be the hero, but what does this have to do with herself?

He had already retreated a long distance with his troops.

but……

"Demon King, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

Thunder Emperor knew that he had been targeted, so he had to order the other people to evacuate with the troops. He knew very well that the Demon King's target was him.

The girl with long black hair and black pupils, who seemed to possess a demonic aura, was right in front of him.

She was clearly accompanied by a necromancer, a sword master, and an undead, but her vision was completely distorted and she could only stare at the Demon King in front of her... No, to be more precise, she didn't dare to take her eyes off the Demon King for even a moment.

This is the Demon King...

"That weak kid who knelt before me, begging for a chance to live, actually calls himself the Thunder Emperor and even dares to speak of symbols. Humans, as a species, grow really fast!"

Yes, Thunder Emperor has seen the Demon King.

Before the hero was born, when the Thunder Emperor was still a child, he had seen the Demon King.

At that time, although the major races had begun to unite secretly, on the surface, they still showed their usual awe and fear of the Demon King - the major races had been waiting, waiting for the will of the gods... until the brave A. Godora appeared, and the war against the demons and the Demon King's rule finally began.

Before that, the Thunder Emperor was presented to the Demon King as a human genius.

The Demon King had no interest in so-called geniuses. Such gifted geniuses were usually bestowed upon the Four Heavenly Kings or other demon generals. For example, the vampire Lisiduowei, for a time in her early years, was particularly interested in the blood of geniuses from various races. Regardless, being bestowed upon the Four Heavenly Kings was generally not a good thing. Even if one was not killed, remaining loyal to humanity was essentially impossible.

Humans are just toys of the demons—

This was the general perception of people at that time.

At that time, Thunder Emperor knelt in front of the Demon King, extremely humble, begging the Demon King to spare his life and not give him as a reward to anyone else.

The Demon King agreed. For the Demon King at that time, it was probably just a whim. People had heard of such things. If you prayed to the Demon King sincerely, maybe... maybe there would be a glimmer of hope.

In fact, the Demon King was probably in a good mood at that time.

"Do you know why I spared your life?"

Moher seemed to be in a very good mood, and she showed a sense of "nostalgia" in a humane way.

Lei Di didn't answer.

"Many people, when begging for my forgiveness, are always eager to demonstrate their worth—for example, 'If you let me go, I'll repay your kindness a thousandfold, If you help me, I'll make you profit.' Generally speaking, I won't let such people go. After all, the world is mine. Give me something in return? It all belongs to me, how can I expect you to give me something in return?"

An inexplicable smile graced her face. "You were very smart back then. You simply knelt before me and said, 'Please let me go.' I've always liked smart people, so I let you go—but who would have known that someone as smart as you would be so arrogant and offensive now?"

"With such strength, you dare to speak of a symbol? Has the overwhelming power made you lose your mind, causing you to lose your reverence for the world?"

Hearing Mo He's words, Lei Di slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "That is to say, this time, no matter what, you will not let me go again, right?"

"How can someone who has lost his reverence for things he should be reverent towards not be dealt with?"

Thunder Emperor's eyes suddenly opened, lightning flashing in them. "The fears and shadows of youth often take a lifetime to heal! After meeting you that time, after I gave up all my dignity and honor and knelt on the ground to pray to you... my life has been... destined to be lived to defeat the shadow you brought!"

The Thunder Emperor, who looked like a frail young man, was now surrounded by lightning. "If I can't become a symbol, I will never be able to defeat you! If I don't do this, I will never be able to sleep peacefully!"

"All of you, step back." Moher informed the others, "I don't like people who actively seek death, but I do like to see people who, knowing it's impossible, do it for a different purpose. To defeat the shadow I bring is a good reason. I accept this challenge."

When Moher accepted this challenge, Thunder Emperor was a little dazed.
He thought of the love and praise he had received from everyone from the time he was born until he was nine years old. Everyone said, "This child will become the light of mankind and guide the progress of mankind."

However, one day when I was nine years old, everything changed.

He was not convinced.

He resented it. A genius like himself being offered up to the Demon King—how ridiculous was that? Humanity would lose its future, it would never be possible for humans to stand up against the demons… But on the other hand, he was proud—he believed that his talent had alarmed the Demon King, and that the Demon King, fearing his talent, had offered him up.

But the moment he saw the Demon King, he knew that his idea was wrong.

The Demon King's expression was confused for a moment, and then he directly asked the people around him: "What's the matter with this human?"

"This year's gift from the human side is dedicated to you."

"Do humans have any misunderstandings about me?" The Demon King looked at the vampire Lisiduowei, "Do you want it?"

The vampire shook his head. "There's no difference between a genius's blood and an ordinary person's. Logically speaking, if we have to talk about the taste of blood, perhaps people with strong bodies would have better taste. This kid has delicate skin and flesh, so the quality of his blood is probably average. However, he seems to be able to use lightning magic, and there's some lightning in his blood. Drinking it will give you a tingling sensation... It's hard to call it a feast, at most a snack. I'm not too interested."

"Then just deal with it as you please? And by the way, inform the humans not to send me these useless things. They send them here just to show their submission to me anyway - I don't need anything from them."

The devil is so contemptuous.

It turns out that it was not because the devil was afraid of his own talents, but because of human beings’ own fear that brought them before the devil.

How ridiculous is this?
At this moment, the boy's self-esteem, arrogance - everything was shattered.

His knees touched the ground and his head was buried deep.

"Please... spare my life... give me a chance to live..."

No extra words, just such a humble prayer.

He couldn't see the Demon King's expression.

All I heard was, "Okay, throw him out."

The boy survived.
