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

Page 58

Moreover, there is a high elf second only to the Elf King…

Leon took a deep breath, no longer able to ignore these uninvited guests.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly, lowered his body, and his voice grew colder:

"You intruders are being far too arrogant."

"What is your purpose in trespassing into the territory of the Demon King—Lion Cromwell?"

"Demon King?"

Upon hearing this, Ronan shook his wrist, the surge of magic ceased, and a hint of amusement and contemplation appeared in his eyes.

He then fully understood his current situation.

So that's why these guys attacked me without saying a word as soon as they came up.

So, he really is a villain.

Ronan clicked his tongue and said bluntly:

"Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

"Speaking of which, you look dignified, like a human, so why are you the Demon King?"

In his mind, the Demon King was either someone with wings on his back and a blue face with fangs, or a cute little girl, since a Demon King must be a demon.

He was quite surprised to find that a guy who looked like a nobleman was now calling himself the Demon King.

Leon's gaze grew cold, unaware of Ronan's thoughts.

Looking at his subordinates lying on the ground, and hearing Ronan's claim that everything was a misunderstanding, a feeling of being despised suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

A misunderstanding? How could anyone have the nerve to utter such an absurd excuse?

They've already come to our doorstep. Do you think they're a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?

"How arrogant to judge the Demon King based solely on his appearance."

Do you think I should believe what you're saying?

Even he himself had never been so arrogant.

Because among demon kings there are many who appear harmless, but when they get angry, they can destroy a country.

However, Ronan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said; he was simply stating the facts.

Seeing that the other party was determined to fight him to the death, Ronan sighed:

"Why bother? I've already said it's a misunderstanding. There's nothing wrong with believing it."

"Although I don't know your strength, you certainly haven't reached the level of a god."

"Since that's the case..."

Before he could finish speaking, Leon seized the opportunity and teleported forward in an instant.

The sword blade swung out was as fast as the wind, and its sharpness was such that it could cut even dust in the air in two.

however--

Ding!

Slender fingers blocked the sword that could split a mountain.

With a flick of a finger.

Ping.

The sword shattered, and fragments scattered everywhere.

Upon seeing this.

Leon's face darkened.

This guy…

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, widening the distance between himself and Ronan once again.

Gazing at each other from afar, he took a deep breath, his tone wary:

"You are definitely not an unknown person. Who exactly are you?"

Not only was the attack blocked, but the weapon itself was also destroyed—and that was a legendary weapon.

He spent two hundred years and only managed to acquire two.

Ronan remained calm and indifferent, saying:

"Who knows? Let's get back to business. Although we are complete strangers, since you've chosen to take action, don't blame me."

After speaking, Ronan vanished from the spot, leaving only his calm voice echoing softly in Leon's ears:

"I am the hero. If you have to blame someone, blame your status as the Demon King."

Upon hearing those words, Leon's pupils contracted slightly.

He was about to speak and refute something.

But in the next second, a sharp pain, like a surging tide, instantly overwhelmed him.

The world was spinning ahead.

Then everything went black, and I knew nothing more.

……

[Confirmed. Swift Regeneration has been activated...]

After a long while, a cool notification sound seemed to ring in Leon's mind.

Leon kept his eyes tightly shut, twitched his eyebrows twice, and knew that it was all an illusion.

The "Voice of the World" only plays when a skill is mastered.

But the pain emanating from all over my body was not an illusion.

The image that remains in my memory is of myself being beheaded.

That guy…

Even in a deep coma, Leon gritted his teeth slightly, then suddenly opened his eyes and saw Ronan half-squatting in front of him.

The surrounding candlelight flickered, casting a dim light.

Ronan nodded gently when he saw Leon awaken:

"You're awake. It seems your recovery ability is far more amazing than I imagined. You can even heal and regenerate a severed head."

"You're not human?"

He was certainly not human. After becoming the Demon King, he transformed into a human-demon, with a lifespan of over a thousand years.

At this moment, seeing Ronan staring at him with a half-smile, Leon's expression darkened slightly:

Why didn't you kill me?

"Do you want to die?" Ronan retorted, then stood up, looking down at him.

“I originally intended to kill you, and I did indeed make a move, but that little girl thought you saved her life.”

“A life for a life, Demon King Leon, you should feel fortunate.”

Hearing this, Leon remained silent. Before he could speak, Ronan continued to ask,

"Tell me, what is that summoning circle?"

"How could you summon her from another world here?"

While Leon was unconscious, Ronan obtained crucial information from the little girl.

This world seems a little unusual.

At first, he thought he was in a game world, but later he discovered that there were actually transmigrators here—

The little girl is the time traveler, named Shizue Izawa, born in 1937, and is eight years old this year.

This is a rather delicate number, especially considering the burns on her body and the information she mentioned about airplanes, Tokyo, and explosions.

Ronan could conclude that this was definitely related to World War II.

Leon remained silent, his expression complex and difficult to decipher.

Although he felt deeply humiliated by the girl's pleas for mercy, now was clearly not the time to dwell on such matters.

He also gleaned some key information from Ronan's words.

This guy is definitely not a native of this world.

Because anyone with a bit of strength and knowledge knows that there are reincarnated beings, summoners, visitors, and so on from another world in this world.

Reincarnated individuals are usually souls residing in the bodies of native inhabitants, while summoners are typically children or teenagers…

So... is he a visitor?

Which world's visitor is so powerful?

My luck is terrible.

Furthermore, Ronan's previous self-proclaimed...

In this world, "hero" is not a positive word.

Once spoken, one will be subject to unseen karmic consequences.

As a former hero, he has a deep understanding of this.

—So, he's a hero from another world?

Leon considered the other person's background in his mind, raised his eyes, and his tone gradually became calm:

"I see. It seems I did misunderstand you."

"I will tell you everything. After all, I lost."
