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

Although the demons living here do not harm humans and have a good reputation, the empire's instigation is still a factor.

Rumors were spread that demons were killing humans and that troops were about to be sent to seize the territory, but then this message suddenly arrived.

Kansas was completely stunned.

The palace was attacked?

Are you kidding me?

Are all those knights just sitting around doing nothing?

Although I couldn't believe it deep down, the facts were right in front of me.

If the casualties are heavy, the defense will be weak, and only by returning to defend can we stop the harassment from other countries.

He looked at the map, biting his cigar, and in desperation could only mutter under his breath, "Withdraw!"

He slammed his fist heavily on the table.

Unfortunately, we have no choice but to leave this place for another time to take over.

As he packed his things, he pulled a communicator from his pocket and gestured to Kreman on the other end:

Things have changed; we'll have another opportunity to cooperate!

The rumor was spread by Clayman, who fled to the land of demons decades ago in a vain attempt to control the demon king, but ultimately failed.

Decades later, they made a comeback, aligning themselves with the Eastern Empire, and were actually controlled by Kondo Tatsuya.

Of course, he himself was unaware of this. Seeing that the plan had fallen through again and that he had waited for decades in vain, he was furious.

Unfortunately, his strength was simply insufficient to acquire this land.

"Damn it." Kreman cursed angrily. After thinking for a moment, he could only contact the Mediocre Clown Gang and make further plans.

……

In the land of demons, a group of demons are on guard against a possible attack at any moment.

Although they are demons, they are not evil at all; it's just their race name.

Suddenly, a demon saw the imperial army retreating and cried out in alarm.

"They're gone!"

The Demon Queen is a mature and intelligent woman with nine tails.

Upon hearing the news, his tense shoulders, which had been prepared to die together with his opponent, suddenly relaxed, and he quickly asked:

"Is the news true?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a little fox peeked out from under her skirt and timidly grabbed the hem of her dress.

This is her child. She wanted to give him away, but she could never find the opportunity.

just now…

"Of course it's true."

Upon hearing this, the Demon King breathed a sigh of relief.

After regaining her composure, she was eager to know what had caused the Imperial Army to withdraw completely.

This act is tantamount to saving a life.

Even if I may be unable to repay the debt.

We must also know who our benefactor is.

Chapter 180, The Harvest: The Demon King Awakens

"Let me go! I'll tell you whatever you want to know, just don't carry me like this!"

On the way, the scorching dragon was very dissatisfied with its treatment.

Although she was captured alive and became a prisoner, she felt that she still had dignity.

What's the deal with carrying yourself on your hands and parading you through the streets?

She's a dragon descendant, the sister of the creator god, and now…

"hateful."

Seeing that Ronan was ignoring her, she was so angry she felt like grinding her teeth. The stares of passersby on the street stung her skin.

In her millennia of existence, she had never felt so humiliated. Enraged, she began to scream wildly, even hoping Ronan would simply kill her:

"I'll kill you, I definitely will kill you!"

"Human, don't be so arrogant! You're just relying on my brother's power! Without my brother, you're nothing!"

Ronan lowered his gaze, glanced at her, and remained indifferent.

With one hand holding her by the back of the neck and applying slight force, she immediately stuck out her red tongue as if she had suffered some major blow.

Pain, suffocation, and sensory amplification were a thousand times greater.

In that instant, she seemed to see the Star King Dragon.

"Why provoke me? You'll only suffer in the end. Just behave yourself."

That kind of magic seems to have some use in torture as well; this is just a small test.

The scorching dragon is too arrogant; she needs to face reality and see who will come to her rescue.

Beside her, Izawa Shizue saw this scene but hesitated to speak.

She felt it was wrong to treat a prisoner this way, but then she remembered the many atrocities committed by the Eastern Empire, and she held back.

Jingjiang glanced at the whispering people on both sides of the road, touched the mask on her face, and whispered:

"Lord Zabuza, is capturing just her enough?"

How do you feel about my performance in this operation? Are you satisfied?

Because Ronan's satisfaction was crucial to her future, she eagerly awaited a positive answer.

Ronan nodded slightly: "Not bad."

He was naturally satisfied that those wicked men had been slaughtered.

While it may not be all of them, at least it solidified my stance.

One has two.

Jingjiang's eyes lit up: "Then what do you think..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back. It's only been two days since we met. Even a whirlwind marriage wouldn't happen this fast. And are you really ready to accept Celia and Vlame?"

Ronan stared straight ahead, making no attempt to hide his attitude, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Actually, there are other people besides them, but the relationship isn't quite there yet, and I don't want to lie to you."

"If we get married, we probably won't have much time together."

Jingjiang had known this for a long time and had prepared herself mentally for it. She took a deep breath and straightened her back:

“You mean Miss Frillian? I understand, it’s alright. I’ve managed on my own for the past fifty years while you were gone.”

"I just want to repay you, even if it's just for a little while, and it would be best if I could leave you with a child."

Women in the Showa era were deeply bound by traditional values, consistently adhering to the ideals of being a virtuous wife and loving mother, and a devoted wife and mother.

In their eyes, carrying on the family line is an extremely important matter.

Moreover, if the benefactor lacks nothing materially, then the only way to offer comfort is through spiritual means.

Ronan glanced sideways, exhaled, and thought to himself that this child was truly magnanimous.

Even before, when Celia had never done that kind of thing, she would have hesitated for a moment upon hearing those words.

Most people are selfish, and few have a selfless and dedicated character like hers.

Upon hearing this, the scorching dragon was completely stunned. The pure-hearted woman couldn't understand why any woman would be so humble.

Ignoring the pain, she opened her mouth, trying to sow discord between the two, but Ronan slapped her unconscious, and her body went limp.

"We'll talk about it when we get back, if you're really ready."

He thought that if he really had a child in the future, he would definitely have to bring the mother and daughter to live there.

To carry on the family line? He, who is immortal, has no need for a son.

Although Celia would definitely reject it because the wildflower had entered the house, Ronan didn't want to let anyone down, even more than Celia's jealousy.

Beneath the mask, Shizue Izawa smiled:

"Yes."

……

When Ronan returned to the Kingdom of Skywing with Shizue Izawa and the stunned Scorching Dragon.

Carrera was sitting on the back of the Nine-Tailed Fox, holding a slime in her arms, when she and Farrell arrived late.

As soon as Carrera appeared, she expressed her determination to become stronger to Ronan.

Her master disappeared for fifty years. To avoid bringing shame upon her master, she had no choice but to return to the Demon Realm and fight against the demons.

Although she had grown, it was minimal. Therefore, upon learning that her master had reappeared, she focused her attention on awakening.

"I want to awaken and become the Demon King."

As she spoke, kneeling on one knee, her eyes burning with fighting spirit when she looked up.

"After you left, Master, I fought against Guy, but I was utterly defeated."

“I am not reconciled. Although I later defeated the other demon progenitors, that defeat has always lingered in my heart.”

After these words, Ronan fell into a brief silence.

He first ordered Jingjiang to lock the scorching dragon in the small dark room, then slowly asked:

"Demon King? What are the conditions for awakening? And who are you now...?"

"I am now the Demon Grand Duke, which is theoretically the pinnacle of demonhood, but theory is just theory. Evolution requires high-quality human souls."
