Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

However, if she can create other value before she dies, then prolonging her life is not unreasonable.

After all, she's like a fish struggling on a chopping board now, unable to make any big waves.

Solitaire took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart, and said in a composed tone:

"My lord, you should know that the reason we demons eat people is to evolve and grow stronger."

"But this kind of evolution can be suppressed, because we can survive without eating people, just as humans can die of old age without attaining a high status."

"Therefore, demons are creatures that can be controlled."

"Based on this, the demon race is no longer a mere pest."

Upon hearing this, Ronan nodded slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Indeed, Solitaire is currently under his control, having eaten vegetarian food for half a month. Apart from becoming weak, she is otherwise fine.

Clearly, the carnivorous habits of the demon race can be transformed into vegetarianism.

As long as they don't eat people, there's still room for negotiation.

Seeing this, Solitaire felt a surge of hope and continued to explain her reasons.

Even if you kill off the disobedient ones, there are still hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of demons.

These people are perfectly capable of serving humanity. At worst, they could be placed in remote areas to engage in production or other work, which would be better than being exterminated.

In short, Solitaire doesn't want to die, and she'll do everything she can to survive, even if it means betraying her tribe's interests.

Her ugly survival attempt did not evoke any contempt from Ronan.

In his view, demons are creatures that prioritize personal gain.

This can be considered one of their "advantages".

And so—

"If I spare you and grant you power, how confident are you in taking the Demon King's throne?"

"After becoming the Demon King, how confident are you in making those people submit to you and serve me?"

Ronan himself could actually become a Demon King, but doing so would be too ostentatious and, unlike the world of slimes, would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Upon hearing this, Solitaire's mind raced, and various thoughts flashed through her head.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and gave her answer:

"Give me a month, and I guarantee I will subdue the demons."

"They will obey, as long as I kill the Demon King openly in public."

Ronan nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a month."

Whatever Solitaire intends to do with this month, this is her last chance.

Ronan sheathed his sword, and Solitaire breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the danger had temporarily disappeared and the cold touch on her neck was gone.

She intended to head to the Demon King's castle immediately, but in reality, she wanted to escape—because she knew she had no ability to kill the Demon King.

What I just said was half true and half false.

However, the moment Solitaire lifted her foot, she suddenly felt her strength increase.

She stood there, stunned, her eyes wide with astonishment.

Followed by.

Swish.

A magical glow enveloped her as Ronan unleashed a restrictive spell.

"Go and do it. Don't try to deceive me. Remember, you only have one month."

Ronan did not explicitly state what would happen if Solitaire did not become the Demon King when the time came.

But it's obvious that it's not a good thing.

This magic is both a protection and a constraint on her.

Solitiel was filled with confusion, but she had no other choice but to bite the bullet and challenge the Demon King.

Hopefully... Shurahart didn't foresee his own appearance.

Chapter 127, The Death of the Demon King; Fast forward to the entire clan being enslaved.

In the Demon King's castle, Shurahat stood quietly before the French windows made of rough stone, his eyes lowered, as he foresaw the future.

Two weeks ago, the hero suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his magic for foreseeing the future failed, leaving him feeling unprecedentedly lost.

At first, he still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that this was just a temporary fluctuation.

However, today...

As Solitaire's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the visions of the future, Shurahat's gaze darkened.

"Failed again... What on earth did the hero do?"

He couldn't understand it at all.

Exhaling, Shurahat recalled the scene and immediately turned to report to the Demon King.

The scene shows Solitaire stepping on the Demon King.

He wasn't sure if what he saw was real.

But based on his years of experience and intuition, he knew that Solitaire was not only alive, but had also joined the heroes' ranks.

Otherwise, this situation would never have occurred.

Inside the palace, the Demon King listened, his feelings more complex than ever before.

There might be anger, but more than that, there's a sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation.

“Shurahat”.

The Demon King's deep voice slowly echoed in the quiet space.

"Within just a few months, my demon race suffered a complete defeat."

"Not only was the Millennium Plan destroyed, but tens of thousands of demons were also forced to rely on hunting animals for survival."

"All of this was solely due to the influence of a hero."

Do you think I'm incompetent?

Shurahat remained silent. He knew the Demon King's feelings at that moment and understood the predicament the demon race was facing.

After a moment, he gathered his thoughts and slowly began to speak:

"Indeed, but things cannot be generalized."

"Although I don't know why Solitaire came back, or why she wants to defeat you."

But clearly, all of this is inextricably linked to your conflict with the hero.

"Perhaps, this is her pledge of allegiance to the hero's side."

"The only advice I can give is to surrender temporarily, so that you can save your life."

"Only a living king is a king, and you are, after all, the strongest among us."

"Surrender?" The Demon King found it hard to accept.

but……

Upon careful consideration, this is indeed the most convenient, simplest, and most effective method.

Is surrender alone enough?

"I don't know, and we can't rule out the possibility that she has other motives. In any case, this is your only hope of survival right now."

Shurahart spoke earnestly, without a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Because he knew that he would have made the same choice in that situation.

The Demon King clenched his fist and slowly nodded.

Although my heart is filled with resentment, at this moment, I can only accept this cruel reality.

He sat on his throne, quietly awaiting Solitaire's arrival.

……

Two weeks later, Solitaire arrived as scheduled.

Outside the Demon King's castle, the wind and snow howled.

Wearing a white hood, she looked at the tightly closed metal door, pondering how to get inside.

Throughout the journey, her biggest fear was that her actions would be seen by Shurahat.

Once he learns that his target is the Demon King, he will definitely deploy a large number of troops in the city to besiege him.

In that case, even if he were to successfully enter the city, it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal of becoming the Demon King.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

Just as she was preparing to find an opportunity to sneak in, a loud "boom" was heard, and the heavy metal door slowly opened.

Solitaire was startled, and then she saw Shurahat standing alone in front of the gate, his eyes showing no hostility.

He nodded slightly, his tone as if he had expected this:

"You've come, Solitaire. The Demon King has been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me."

Solitaire's vigilance and aggressive intentions lessened somewhat, but she was still filled with doubt.

She squinted, carefully observing Shurahat's expression and demeanor.

She couldn't understand why he didn't stop her, but instead brought her to the Demon King.

"how."

Seeing that Solitaire was standing still, Shurahart glanced at her sideways.

"What are you worried about? Aren't you a hero?"
