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

Only Sylph, with her elven hearing, could clearly hear her voice.

Indeed, he wasn't as powerful as the Demon King back then, and Sylph also sensed this. Even with an incomplete team, they could still contend with the Demon King! She felt somewhat relieved.

What Sylph didn't know was that Lorenve's sword saint level could only be maintained for a little over three minutes. Could she defeat a demon king who hadn't reached his peak within that time limit? That was a huge problem.

bang——

The Demon King took another big step back.

The ground was worn with two deep grooves by the Demon King's footsteps.

"The Demon King has been repeatedly repelled?" a palace attendant murmured.

The eunuchs exclaimed with delight, "We won't die today!"

More guards and teachers arrived at the academy, and Bordona began to arrange for the emergency evacuation of the students.

Burbo remained intently focused on the field, incredulously asking, "Could it be that the Demon King, barely born, will be slain here by a peerless genius?"

Kurara was speechless. She had originally planned to risk her life to protect Lorenvie, but she found that Lorenvie alone had suppressed the Demon King.

"Lorenwei is that amazing?" Sally looked at him, her face flushed.

As expected of the reincarnation of the Sword Saint, Sally felt her heart pounding, her eyes glued to the field, not wanting to look away for a moment.

"Melan! It's me, Lorenwei! Wake up! Don't let the Demon King's power control you!" Lorenwei shouted, sword in hand.

Unfortunately, the Demon King regained his fighting spirit.

"Kill...Lorenwei!" The voice behind the mask remained stiff.

"Wake up!" Lorenwei charged forward again, sword in hand.

bang bang bang-

After a series of heavy blows, Lorenwei seized an opening and reached out to remove the Demon King's mask, tossing it aside.

Beneath the horned helmet, a design unique to the demon race, Meilan's face was indeed revealed.

However, her eyes were lifeless, as if she were under hypnosis.

“Melan!” Lorenwei shouted again, trying to wake her up.

But when she was distracted for a moment, Lorenwei was also hit by the Demon King and staggered, almost getting injured.

Although this demon king is not as powerful as he was back then, Lorenwei cannot be careless in fighting him alone.

Lorenvi still tried to wake Meilan: "I'm Lorenvi! Wake up!"

“This idiot, I’m afraid…” Sylph pursed her lips, worried for Lorenwei.

She gripped the golden bow tightly, knowing that she couldn't be of much help with her current strength.

"You mean... she refuses to kill the Demon King?" Burbo understood her meaning.

Sylph did not answer.

"..." Burbo hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and shouted to Lorenwei, who was still fighting and trying to wake Meilan, "She's under a curse! This energy exchange curse can only be broken by a god-level power; otherwise, a price must be paid for the exchange!"

Kurara exclaimed anxiously, "But the price for exchanging it is Lorenvie..."

“If all else fails, we’ll have to give up on Meilan…” Burbo pondered for a moment, his expression grim.

Neither Kurara nor Sylph agreed.

"Meilan is our partner..."

"Can not be done!"

Bulbo roared, "We must kill Melan! She is the Demon Queen! She is the enemy of humanity!"

Kurara and Sylph were speechless for a moment.

"So what if he's a demon king?! If he's not a demon king who's gambling with gods and demons, there's still room for redemption!" Lorenwei's voice came.

She had clearly heard Boulbo's assessment.

Burbo was taken aback: "A wager between gods and demons?"

Lorenwei dared not say anything more, and simply focused all her efforts on fighting the Demon King.

The Demon King's armor began to crack, and even the Demon King's sword developed cracks.

"Not a physical Demon King Sword? It's sword intent manifested! Good heavens, I've learned something new. To actually transform one's sword intent into a sharp blade, that's a level higher than mine." Lorenwei's eyes gleamed as she fought, some of her attention focused on sensing the Demon King Sword's characteristics. "I must learn this! This ability will allow my swordsmanship to reach new heights!"

In fact, this is an innate skill of high-level demons. Even if the Demon King wanted to teach it, he wouldn't know how.

Oh no, Lorenwei suddenly realized that her time was running out.

"Swords, come! Swords, come!" Lorenwei shouted three times, releasing more blades from her spatial ring.

A small portion was saved up by Aisser, but the vast majority was obtained for free from the exchange student captain, the swordsman, during the Misty Sea competition.

The swords circled around Lorenwei, their light flashing with countless glints of cold light. Lorenwei simultaneously controlled numerous blades to continuously attack the Demon King, her continuous slashes focusing on exploiting his weaknesses.

Bang bang bang——————

The constant clanging of metal echoed as the Demon King's armor was damaged by the sword energy, with pieces of armor continuously cracking.

After hastily arranging things and seeing the situation on the field, Bordonna exclaimed excitedly, her voice trembling, "She's the Sword Saint! It must be! A new Sword Saint has been born on the continent!"

Bourb clasped his hands together and loudly reminded Lorenwei, "She must be killed! The curse cannot be broken! If she doesn't die, you will!"

Sylph and the other women didn't know what to do either.

"Why must the Demon King be killed? I don't want to die either!" Lorenwei roared.

The sword light shone even brighter.

The Demon King was barely holding on.

Lorenwei gripped the Hero's Sword with both hands and unleashed her most dazzling strike amidst countless flashes of light.

"Meilan! Wake up!"

call--

The Hero's Sword seemed to conjure a gigantic sword shadow, suddenly bringing immense sword wind pressure from above as it slashed down towards the Demon King.

click-

The Demon King's sword, which had been attacking, shattered. It was originally the manifestation of the Demon King's sword intent, and it transformed into countless bright purple demonic lights that vanished in an instant.

The Hero's Sword slashed down with the force of a mountain crashing down, unstoppable.

Burbo and his eunuchs clenched their fists and shouted excitedly, "The Demon King has been slain!"

But at that very moment, the Hero's Sword stopped just inches from the Demon King's head.

click-

The Demon King's helmet shattered under the fierce wind of the Hero's falling sword.

As the helmet shattered, Meilan's head was fully exposed, but her eyes still had no pupils, indicating that she was being controlled.

Her red hair was loose, but longer than I remembered; it seemed her body had changed after becoming the Demon King.

The Demon King's sword shattered, and the Demon King's body was also injured.

Blood trickled from the corner of Meilan's mouth.

Lorenwei's figure was half-suspended in mid-air, the sword blade hovering above the Demon King's head, but never completely falling.

"Cut it down!" Burbo roared from the sidelines.

Many eunuchs echoed this sentiment.

"The Demon King's sword is shattered, and he still won't wake up?!" Lorenwei anxiously reversed the Hero's Sword and struck the Demon King's head heavily with the hilt.

The Demon King was knocked off balance by her attack and fell to the ground, unable to move for a moment; he could be said to have entered a state of temporary physical shock.

"Radiant Ritual of Light - Divine Bath!" Lorenwei threw out several scrolls, attempting to use holy magic to bring Melanie back to her senses.

But the high-level holy magic only brought a burning sensation to the demon king, and the tattered armor emitted a burnt smell.

Meilan's red eyes still lack pupil consciousness.

"Damn it! I can't exorcise the evil!" Lorenwei could feel that her Sword Saint power would completely disappear in a dozen breaths.

This cheat won't be reactivated until tomorrow, does that mean...?

"The Demon King's power is rapidly recovering! Kill her quickly!" Burbo suddenly warned, even intending to command the eunuchs to personally take to the field.

Reminded by him, Lorenwei suddenly realized that the Demon King's energy aura was indeed rapidly recovering!

Without casting a spell, the Demon King's body began to slowly float up.

The armor that had just been shattered began to regenerate on her body.

[With a powerful target to kill, the Demon King will become even stronger!]

Meilan's emotionless voice rang out, and the aura of the Demon King rapidly revived.

Everyone present felt the Demon King's aura, like a hurricane, once again plunging them into a state of overwhelming fear.

Kurara and the other women collapsed, and even Bordonna could barely stand: "The Demon King is even more powerful now..."

Only Sylph raised her golden bow and began to aim, pure natural power gathering at the tip of the arrow.

The female elf shouted at Lorenwei, "Lorenwei! The greater good is at stake! We acknowledge Meilan as your lover, but the Demon King is not! She is the Demon King, not Meilan!"

Before the Demon King, Lorenwei remained expressionless, clenching her teeth tightly, and made no response.

A new Demon King's sword began to form in the Demon King's hand, its blade gleaming with dazzling purple demonic light.

Lorenwei finally reacted, staring at the Demon King Sword: "This is the manifestation of sword intent, hmm, this is the second time I've seen it, I think I'm starting to understand..."

Bulbo roared, "If you don't make a move soon, the Demon King will become stronger than you!"

At that moment, Siruf ruthlessly shot an arrow.

The golden arrow from the golden bow streaked across the sky and struck the demon king's breastplate with a loud thud.

However, only a small portion penetrated, causing only a slight crack in the breastplate before it was quickly shattered by the powerful aura.

Sylph knew that her current power posed no threat to the Demon King. If it weren't for the pure elven power, she probably wouldn't even have been able to damage the armor.

"You are a reborn hero! Everything depends on you!" Sylph shouted to the field. "Lorenve! If you die, everything will be over!"
