The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

It seemed they were afraid of disturbing Alesia.

Chloe thought about it and realized it made sense. Ilesia was a space-type mage, so escaping would be a piece of cake for her.

I just don't know why they suddenly came to her for help.

But since the money was offered to her... and since they were friends, Chloe definitely had to lend a hand.

Under normal circumstances, she definitely wouldn't be able to deal with these people; perhaps she could try using the Demon Sword.

But Lulum warned her not to use this thing carelessly, and to be honest, she didn't really want to show off.

So now she only has one choice.

It's time to use a master-level support character!

From the moment Linfiel left, she seemed to be professionally lurking in Chloe's shadow, claiming it was for close protection.

But Chloe, having used all the skills before, still has a good understanding of shadow magic—Shadow Space.

Lin Fei'er claimed to be providing close protection, but in reality, she was just slacking off in her shadow.

She was very familiar with this method of slacking off.

Back when she was still considered a decent person, she liked to hide in her teammates' shadows while they worked, and she would play video games in their shadows.

Let's leave those things aside for now. Anyway, Lin Fei'er is just sitting around doing nothing, so why not let her do it?

Although Chloe still felt something was off, such as why these people, who were clearly vampires, were capturing the vampire princess? And why did Ilesia say that she couldn't go out casually...?

Wait, Chloe seems to have thought of something.

It seems that she was the one who taught Alesia to sneak out and play, and if the vampire princess were discovered sneaking out... wouldn't it be normal for the vampires to send people to capture her and bring her back?

Chloe's thoughts suddenly became clear, and she was about to ask Ilesia if this was the case, but Linfiel had already come to report to her.

Although Lin Fei'er was a bit simple-minded, she was very capable. After Chloe gave the order, the six men in black disappeared from Chloe's sight in less than five seconds.

As for why there are six people... well, Chloe underestimated how idiotic Linfield was.

Let's offer our condolences to the unfortunate passerby in black.

Where did you put everyone?

Looking at Linfair, who was standing in front of her with a smug look on her face, Chloe didn't know whether to praise her or scold her for being an idiot.

So Chloe could only ask where Linfair had taken the missing people.

If things are really as Chloe suspects... I hope everyone is alright.

"I dumped those seven people in the alley next door. Don't worry, I drugged them; they won't wake up for several hours..."

"Wait? How many?"

"One, two,... seven, is there a problem?"

Faced with Linfiel counting on her fingers for a while, Chloe was at a loss for words, unsure where to begin her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

So she gave up communicating with Linfiel, signaled for her to disappear, and then began to ask Alesia about the identities of those who were pursuing her.

"Sister Alesia, tell me honestly, do you know the people who want to capture you? And could you please stop hugging me like this? I feel like you're about to lift me up."

"Oh? Sorry, it's just that you smell so good, I couldn't resist. And I don't really know those people, they're just a few servants trying to take me home..."

"..."

The case is solved; they really were just poor working-class people.

After hearing Irelia's answer, Chloe sighed and silently mourned for the working class and innocent passersby.

She then pretended that nothing had happened and led Alesia away from the crime scene.

Anyway, Lin Feier was the one who put the people down, so what does it have to do with this harmless little girl?

What? She gave the order? Are you kidding me? What bad intentions could a little girl have? It was all Lin Fei'er's own doing.

Anyway, if any vampires come to question her, Linfier will definitely have to take the blame.

After Chloe led Alesia away from the crime scene, she asked her why she was there: "Sister Alesia, why are you here?"

"I finished my homework today, so I came out to play with you! But for some reason, it seems the servants found out." Alesia said, panting and looking blissfully happy, as she linked arms with Chloe.

Chloe: "..."

She never expected that Ilesia would be so straightforward, actually listening to her "slander" and sneaking out of her house to find her.

Or was it that she couldn't resist the temptation?

Seeing Irelia's puzzling behavior, Chloe repeatedly looked at the ring on her hand to make sure she was wearing it.

Although she had guessed from Alesia's strange behavior that she was probably bewitched after learning that she was a mobile drug, she was surprised that the condition was so serious.

Moreover, this allure doesn't seem to have anything to do with her passivity, since the ring is still on her hand and she seems to be simply captivated by the scent of her blood.

Even her appearance, rather than being bewitched, was more like a cat high on catnip...

Fortunately, Ilesia is a cute little girl, so Chloe wasn't particularly offended by her actions.

If it were some middle-aged man drooling and trying to suck her, she would have thrown him away long ago.

As for why he was drooling? Because—"Little Yi, can I suck a drop of your blood? Just one drop, really just one drop..."

It wouldn't do for Alesia to just smell Chloe's blood; she was already itching to take a bite.

Chloe simply used her other hand to block it, preventing her from biting.

"Sister Alesia, please have some self-respect. I'm happy to play with you, but I refuse to be taken advantage of unless you show some sincerity..."

Chloe expertly extended her hand and made a "money" gesture in front of Ilesia's eyes.

Alesia: "?"

However, Ilesia is still just a little girl and doesn't understand.

Chloe realized that this was something only a sordid adult would do, and that Ilesia probably wouldn't understand, so she withdrew her hand...

She planned to talk to Alesia directly about the price of her blood... at least she could earn some pocket money from her.

Before Chloe could even speak, three demons blocked their way.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: You are already dead.

They must be here to see Ilesia, right? I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Seeing the three demons blocking her way, Chloe immediately shut her mouth.

If the vampires found out that she was cheating Alesia out of her allowance, what would happen?

There were three demons blocking their way, and in Chloe's eyes, all three were "identification failures".

One of the three demons was a vampire, while the other two wore black cloaks, obscuring their faces and revealing their races.

As for why one of them could be identified as a vampire, his classic vampire noble attire was so distinctive that anyone with eyes could tell.

Furthermore, judging from their auras, all three seemed to be grandmasters.

It seems the vampires are getting anxious, Chloe thought.

The fact that they sent out three grandmaster-level figures at once suggests that the vampires thought their little princess was in some kind of danger.

After all, those five vampires had all mysteriously disappeared, so it was understandable that they were anxious.

Judging from the fact that they merely blocked Chloe and Ilesia's path and did not sense any hostility, they did not consider Chloe a threat.

They probably just wanted to bring Alesia back with them.

Chloe thought to herself.

As expected, the person in standard vampire attire was the first to speak: "Ilesia, come with us. Your father is very worried about you."

Judging from the tone of this vampire, he seemed to be an elder of Alesia's, so he must have come to take Alesia back.

Although Chloe had her own thoughts, what Chloe didn't expect was that Ilesia's expression suddenly changed.

"Who are you? I don't know you. And if my father was worried about me, why didn't he just come and pick me up?"

Alesia released Chloe, crossed her arms, and spoke to the vampire with a cold, scrutinizing tone.

She seems to possess some of the majesty of a little queen.

I never expected Ilesia to be like this when she's serious; she's even cuter now.

Chloe looked at Ilesia and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, Ilesia's attitude seems a bit strange. Shouldn't she be a well-behaved child who listens to her family? Hmm... could it be my fault?

Chloe felt a little embarrassed, and even wondered if she was too tempting, causing Alesia's rebellious phase to start earlier than expected.

But soon, the words and actions of the vampire in front of her refuted her idea.

Faced with Ilesia's scrutinizing gaze, the vampire simply smiled and said, "Ilesia, don't you recognize me? I gave you a gift for your birthday a few years ago... Anyway, please come with us."

After saying that, he gestured to the two people beside him to take Alesia back.

"Uncle I don't know, these two people aren't from our vampire clan, are they? Where do you want them to take me?"

Alesia did not obediently compromise, but spoke in a cold tone.

Judging from Ilesia's tone, Chloe sensed something was wrong and quietly moved closer to Ilesia.

It seems like the passersby have disappeared since just now.

Chloe sensed something was off.

There were pedestrians around them just before she and Ilesia were stopped...

This is... a barrier magic?

Based on past experience, Chloe quickly understood the situation.

It's a barrier that drives people away, and it seems there's also a barrier that seals off space. Does this mean they really have ulterior motives?

But isn't it a bit blatant to set up a barrier in the Demon King's castle? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?

And ever since Chloe noticed something was wrong, she had tried to contact Linfair, but for some reason she couldn't reach Linfair, who should have been in her shadow.

"Little sister, you want to call the person in your shadow, right? Unfortunately, I've already locked her in your shadow."

As if mocking Chloe, one of the two men in black robes took off his hood and spoke to Chloe.

It was a dark elf with long ears.

A shadow mage of the dark element? Chloe instantly understood what that person meant.

No wonder this grandmaster-level mage specializes in shadow magic; controlling Linfei in the shadows shouldn't be too difficult... Tsk, looks like I can't count on that useless Linfei for help.

Moreover, his words made it clear that they were plotting something sinister.

Do you think there's no need to deceive children?

Chloe stepped in front of Ilesia, silently pulled the Demon Sword from under her skirt, and switched characters.

If there's no support, then I'll have to go myself.

Although Lulum said it would be troublesome if someone found out what this thing was, there would be no trouble if the person who found it was dealt with.

"Stop wasting time talking to the brat, just do it!"

The vampire continued to give orders.

The instant he finished speaking, two magic circles appeared beneath Chloe and Ilesia's feet respectively.

With the help of the hero's panel, Chloe immediately recognized the effects of the two magic circles.

What appeared at Alesia's feet was the dark-elemental control magic—Shadow Binding, while what appeared at Chloe's feet was the water-elemental attack magic—Mercury Poison.

This is an attempt to kill her!

Since they're going to kill me outright, I don't need to show any mercy.

Chloe thought with a cold smile.

Then, to the astonishment of the two men in black robes, she stomped on and shattered the two magic arrays beneath her feet.

The two spellcasters, suffering from the backlash caused by the forced interruption of their spellcasting, vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. Chloe ignored the two half-dead spellcasters and flashed directly to the vampire who was clearly of a higher rank than them.

After switching back to the Hero panel, Chloe could clearly sense the levels of the three demons. The two who were spitting blood were indeed Grandmaster level, while this vampire was actually a General level!
