The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Is she really a descendant of the Demon King?

Lorenwei suddenly realized that the disappearance of the energy pressure from the Misty Sea could be because Meilan had absorbed the energy of the Misty Sea and turned herself into a demon king.

The price? The price is killing the person you love most, then that's what Meilan is...

Everything has a price. The price of gaining energy is to kill the person she loves most. Has she lost her mind?

"Is it really the Demon King?" A school attendant trembled.

Unbeknownst to them inside the canyon, countless people outside were already trembling with fear.

This is the Demon King's intimidating and oppressive aura.

The academy was in complete chaos, as everyone felt terrifying energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the Misty Sea Secret Realm.

Those who are not sufficiently trained will not be able to control their muscles and will be unable to get up from the ground.

Even the capital of the nearby Fite Empire felt this energy, and countless palace guards and national protectors began to react.

Members of the Black Abyss Organization were overjoyed! "The Demon King has been reborn!"

Black Abyss and Black Robe organization experts who had been lurking around the academy shouted, "Once the academy's defensive array reacts and its power weakens, we can provide our full assistance!"

All parties are taking continuous action.

The Misty Sea Canyon is still facing the Demon King.

Some eunuchs still stubbornly refused to believe it: "Can you really believe this is the Demon King?"

Another eunuch's voice trembled slightly: "Doesn't your body tell you that this being is terrifying?"

"Retreat! Lorenve, retreat immediately!" Bordonna ordered decisively. "All eunuchs, form a protective formation! Protect Lorenve as she retreats!"

As expected of the headmaster, his judgment of the situation was extremely accurate in an instant.

Thousands upon thousands of people are not as valuable as Lorenwei!

Lorenwei is a descendant of heroes and a peerless genius full of hope! The person the Demon King most wants to kill must be the one who poses the greatest threat to him!

Even if everyone on the scene dies, or even if the entire school is destroyed, I will protect her!

Burbo glanced at his daughter with relief and gave her a push: "I'm here. You take Lorenve and her women and leave!"

Burbo knew Lorenwei's character; if the women around her were trapped here, Lorenwei would never leave!

While Bordonna and Burpo were reacting, Sylvie and Lorenve were also arguing on the other side.

"Aren't you going to run?!" Siruf shoved Lorenwei hard.

Lorenvi naturally refused to leave, and she even shouted to the Demon King, "Meilan! I am Lorenvi!"

"Are you stupid?!" Kurara finally realized what was happening, her trembling hands pushing Lorenvi: "Run! That's the Demon King! She...she's going to kill you!"

Kurara no longer cared about Meilan; she recognized him as the Demon King! As the reincarnation of a hero, Lorenve couldn't afford to be harmed, both personally and professionally!

Although Sally was usually resolute, her hands and feet were now ice-cold, and she muttered, "The Demon King..."

Being able to avoid collapsing to the ground is already a sign of good mental fortitude.

Buzz————

The whistling sound came suddenly.

It was the Demon King who seemingly casually swung his sword.

"Watch out!" Lorenve and Sylph cried out at the same time.

Before Burbo and the others could react, only Lorenve and Sylph were able to keep up.

Lorenwei strode forward, chanting incantations rapidly, frantically mobilizing her magical power.

A massive storm of sword energy had arrived, rendering the fragile protective shield utterly ineffective; it collapsed in just a few flashes.

"Soil defense!" Burbo and Bordonna quickly responded to the emergency.

A new protective shield formed, but it barely managed to block the main force of the Demon King's sword.

"what--"

Screams of agony rang out as several eunuchs were grazed by the sword energy and quickly sent flying.

Broken bones and torn tendons were inevitable, but fortunately, the protective shield weakened multiple times, which saved their lives; otherwise, they would probably have been shattered.

"If one strike fails, try again." The Demon King's emotionless words were slowly uttered from behind the mask.

He raised the Demon King's Sword once more.

This time it seems like we need to be more serious.

boom--

A bright bolt of lightning struck from the sky, followed by several more bolts of lightning flashing white light.

It was the academy's defensive magic array that reacted to the immense evil magic, unleashing a light-elemental lightning strike attack from the sky.

Dust billowed up from the canyon.

“One strike and our magic is almost depleted… but the academy’s defensive array can’t possibly harm the Demon King!” Burbo felt his magic was about to run out, and stared wide-eyed at his daughter, “Quick, while the academy’s defenses are holding us back, get Lorenve away!”

Bourbo was a magic expert, though not quite at the level of the great sage Jansen, but he could still deduce that the academy's magic circle could only restrain, not destroy, the Demon King. Moreover, the restraint would inevitably be short-lived, requiring a swift response.

He no longer says he took Lorenve away; he says he ran away! And he no longer says he took her woman with him!

It would be difficult to save even one!

Bordona knew that her father was trying to hold off the demon king for a moment, but that would only be like a moth drawn to a flame, but...

"Yes!" Bordonna gritted her teeth and quickly went to pull Lorenwei away.

"Protect the headmaster!" a palace attendant shouted.

The eunuchs were all personal guards who had followed the headmaster for many years. At this moment, not one of them retreated; they all bravely went forward to protect him.

"Stand with me!" Bulbo took out his golden staff, which he usually rarely used, ready to lead everyone in a desperate fight. "Together with me! Face the Demon King! For humanity!"

"Oh—" the eunuchs shouted in unison, resolutely standing with the old man.

“Come with me!” Bordonna grabbed Lorenwei’s arm.

She estimated that, with the help of the school's many facilities, she still had a chance to escape with Lorenwei.

However, Bordonna's hand was shaken off by Lorenve.

"Don't be reckless! Come with me and run!" the headmaster cried anxiously.

Lorenwei, however, remained resolute and proudly faced the direction of the Demon King.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the Demon King's figure reappeared.

While holy magic is extremely damaging to demons, it's nothing more than a tickle to the Demon King.

The newly born demon king only had a few scratches on his armor; otherwise, he showed no signs of injury.

Ignoring Bordonna's attempts to pull her away, Lorenwei roared, "Demon King, do you dare to take off your mask?"

"Slay Lorenwei." The Demon King completely ignored her, and his merciless voice echoed from behind the mask once more.

"Run with me!" Bordonna yelled at Lorenwei.

Kurara also shouted, "Run! Don't worry about us!"

Sylph has taken out the golden bow and is gathering her power.

"Lorenvie! You are a peerless genius! You are the hope of humanity!" Bordonna shook Lorenvie's shoulders violently: "Don't die here!"

“The one who can’t escape is me.” Lorenwei laughed instead. “Right now, I’m the only one who can deal with the Demon King. It’s a bit difficult; I’m afraid there’s not enough time.”

"what?"

Lorenwei tied her long hair into a single ponytail, pushed Bordonna aside, and proudly brandished her right hand towards the Demon King: "Sword, draw!"

The Hero's Sword appeared leisurely from her hand.

In the next instant, Lorenwei's figure disappeared.

"Shadow Follow!" Lorenwei's figure reappeared before the Demon King, the Hero's Sword falling heavily, slashing towards the Demon King's Sword!

Chapter 286 [Part 2 of the Finale] The Battle Between Sword Saint Lorenwei and Demon King Melan!

bang——

The Hero's Sword clashed with the Demon King's Sword.

The Demon King's floating figure was forcefully pressed back to the ground, barely managing to stand, leaving a scratch on the ground.

Lorenve still possesses the power from her previous life?! Siluf exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that familiar movement, she recognized the figure that had appeared countless times in her memories and dreams.

"Is that Lorenwei?" Burbo exclaimed.

Bordonna's eyes widened: "No way, isn't she a mage? Although she showed signs of martial arts talent, this level..."

The headmistress, being a high-ranking assassin, could naturally see Lorenwei's current skill level.

If she were to fight her, she would surely be defeated within ten moves! Bordonna came to this conclusion in her mind after only a few glances.

"Again!" Lorenwei's figure left a light-colored afterimage, and in the next instant, she reappeared above the Demon King's head, slashing down with her sword once more.

She deliberately swung her sword at the Demon King's sword, rather than at the weak points of the Demon King's armor.

Sylph frowned slightly, realizing that Lorenve hadn't aimed for the Demon King's vitals.

This guy is definitely wary of Meilan. Sylph thought to herself with a snort.

Furthermore, although the Demon King's sword strike possessed immense power, it had a flaw, which even Sylph noticed.

Whether it's because she's just awakened, or because of the flaws caused by rigidly executing forced tasks, or because Meilan's subconscious still exists, in short, she's more ruthless than quick-witted.

bang——

With a fierce clash of blades, the Demon King took another step back.

"So strong! Lorenwei is only fourteen years old, and she can already fight against the Demon King?!" Burbo and the others were almost in shock.

Are there geniuses in the world who are this powerful?

Lorenwei twirled her sword and swung it for the third time, muttering to herself, "Not as powerful as the Demon King back then."
