The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Well, although it's childish logic, it should be cute enough to get away with it, since she is still a child.

Sure enough, after hearing Chloe's addition, Angelo simply shook her head and didn't think much of it, dismissing it as just childish talk.

Just as Chloe was about to try and get more information out of the organization, Angelo suddenly looked up at the moonlight and said, "The time has come. Activate the rune teleportation array."

Immediately afterwards, she began to chant a spell.

When she heard Angelo mention "teleportation circle," Chloe had already switched accounts and was ready to destroy the circle.

Chloe couldn't let her take her back to her base; she had to capture her first and then try to question her.

However, Chloe said she had never seen this so-called "rune circle" before. She stared at it for a long time with her main account open, but still couldn't find the core of the circle.

Just as Chloe was about to violently destroy the magic circle, she discovered that the magic circle was emitting a dazzling black light... Don't ask why it was dazzling, just ask why it was a multicolored black light.

Looking at the brightened surroundings and the familiar black light, Chloe suddenly felt that this wasteland looked familiar.

Isn't this the place where she found that gem and suddenly became rich?

I remember that gem was called a rune gem... wait, a rune array?

"Huh? The moonlight angle is definitely right, so why is the rune teleportation array failing to activate?"

Chapter Forty-Nine: I'm Your Father!

Unexpectedly, this was a teleportation array. Chloe said she had never seen such a type of array before.

Generally speaking, both barriers and magic circles have magical fluctuations.

However, even after switching to her larger form, Chloe did not detect any magical fluctuations in the magic circle on the ground.

Instead, they discovered that the magic circle was surrounded by a barrier of cognitive impairment... No wonder Angelo was so confident in placing the so-called "rune gem" in such a place.

This magic circle has no magical fluctuations, and its name is "Rune Teleportation Array," so what drives this magic circle is not magic, but the runes on the circle...

No wonder Angelo was so confident in kidnapping her in the academy. So there really was a special way to transfer her? After all, according to Lulum, the academy's defensive barrier is two-way... It's a top-tier Saint-level defensive barrier, so unless you're a god-level expert, you can only enter or leave the academy through the main gate.

Even when this so-called "rune teleportation array" was activated, there was not a trace of magical fluctuation. This array, which is clearly not a magical creation, must have been designed specifically to exploit loopholes in defensive barriers.

Of course, if you want to drive this magic circle, you must need energy. You can't just rely on the runes drawn on it to drive it, right?

As for the energy source that powers this magic circle, it is clearly the rune gem.

It's the rune gem that Chloe "sold off".

Chloe looked at the magic circle, which was gradually dimming due to the lack of energy, and then at Angelo, who was looking up at the sky with a blank expression. A mocking smile crept onto her lips.

Could she still not have realized that the magic circle's energy core is gone? No way...

Because the magic circle had emitted a strange light, Chloe thought it could actually be activated, so when she switched to her larger size, she also casually broke the "anti-magic rope" binding her hands.

So Chloe is no longer acting; she plans to arrest Angeloth and take her back for interrogation.

Although such organized people seem difficult to interrogate... don't forget, Lulum is a god-level mental mage.

Taking him back to Lulum for interrogation will be absolutely no problem.

However, before Chloe grabbed Angeloth, she wanted to give her a surprise... After all, she was very principled, and a sneak attack would mainly mean losing the fun of mockery.

……

"The timing is definitely right. Logically speaking, with such good moonlight, the formation shouldn't have failed to activate..."

Angelo looked up at the sky, muttering to herself with a hint of existential doubt. Just then, a calm, childlike voice appeared behind her.

"Activate the magic circle with moonlight? Why make it so complicated?"

"How would I know what the cult produced... Could it be that I'm using it incorrectly?"

Angelo responded instinctively, not even realizing who was talking to her, and continued to think about something.

"Even if it's not operated correctly, it shouldn't fail halfway through the startup, right? Have you checked the energy source for activating the array?"

As Angelo was thinking, the voice appeared behind her again, as if reminding her.

"Check the energy? Are you kidding me? Even if something happens to me, that gem might not be affected. It's something an ordinary person couldn't possibly touch... Holy crap, where's the gem?"

Angelo said there was no need to worry about the gems, but after being prompted by the voice, she subconsciously went to look over the pile of weeds where the gems had been.

Just as the voice had predicted, the gemstone had mysteriously disappeared.

"Holy crap! What incredible person managed to steal that gem... By the way, who are you, sir...?"

Angelo looked at the empty pile of weeds and couldn't help but sigh. Then, as if realizing someone was talking to her, she turned around and saw them.

She then discovered that there was no one behind her... even though the presence was so strong...

Just as she began to have doubts, the voice appeared again, as if it were right in front of her.

"I am your father!"

"?"

Angelo looked down and then noticed Chloe, who was hidden by her chest.

"It's you!" Angelo exclaimed in surprise, taking a step back.

"Rocket Punch!"

Before Angelo could react, Chloe delivered an uppercut to her chin.

This punch was delivered with ten percent of her full power; even a general-level warrior wouldn't be able to withstand it...

"Oh no, I forgot she's a mage..." Chloe looked at Angeloth lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, barely breathing, and only then did she realize.

Chloe, who originally wanted to tease Angelo and enjoy her surprised expression, got a little agitated because she felt mocked for her height.

Unexpectedly, this punch almost sent Angelo to her death.

"I can't let her die like this," Chloe thought, so she immediately cast the healing spell that her alt character was best at on Angeloth, which finally saved Angeloth's life.

"Tsk, I'm exhausted. I didn't expect that even after leveling up, throwing this punch would still be so tiring..."

Seeing that Angelo's breathing had stabilized, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and then sat cross-legged on the ground without any regard for appearances.

She had just casually destroyed the cognitive impairment barrier around her, so now she just needs to wait for someone to come find her.

After all, she's been missing for so long, some idiot is probably more anxious than anyone else...

Just as Chloe was thinking this, Linfield appeared beside her and instantly hugged her, crying out:

"Where have you been all day? I couldn't find you anywhere! You scared me to death..."

They found me so quickly? And to panic like this after I disappeared, you still have some conscience.

Seeing Linfair suddenly appear and hug her, crying her heart out, Chloe felt a little disgusted by her tears and snot, but also a little relieved.

"Luckily, Lady Lulum didn't come to check up on me today. Otherwise, if Lady Lulum had found out that I wasn't with you, I might have lost my salary next month!"

Chloe's fist hardened.

Listening to Linfair's speech, Chloe almost wanted to give her a rocket punch, but after thinking that she would lose her salary next month... Chloe held back.

She needs Linfei'er's help now; there will be plenty of opportunities to mess with her later.

From the time she disappeared until nightfall, Lulum didn't come looking for her. Considering that Angelo was so confident in capturing her, Lulum probably encountered some trouble as well.

Linfiel needs to quickly tell Lulum about her current situation.

So Chloe immediately told Linfair about the current situation.

"Okay, I'll go report to Lord Lulum right away."

Having received the intelligence, Linfair gave Chloe a serious bow before immediately disappearing into the darkness.

Although Lin Fei'er wasn't very bright, her attitude changed completely when it came to serious matters.

In short, in terms of ability alone, Linfeier is quite reliable.

Chapter Fifty: The Order's Provocation

Rewind to when Chloe had just woken up. Black Rum, clad in full black armor, was sitting on the Demon King's throne, propping his head up with one hand and casually looking at the four menacing figures below.

"I remember you, chieftains of the Minotaur, Cyclops, Lamia, and Oni. What brings you to me so late?"

Helm, seated on the throne, spoke in a business-like voice, a rough, masculine tone.

"Hmph, you dare call yourself 'this king'? A brat from who-knows-where dares to dream of being our king? You truly don't know your place!"

The tauren chieftain, who had a rather volatile temper, spoke first in a mocking tone.

"Oh? Where did this brat come from? I really don't know if you guys really know or are just pretending... Hehehe..."

Helm chuckled upon hearing the Tauren chieftain's words, remaining as casual as ever on her throne.

Seeing that Blacklum remained unmoved, as if he didn't take them seriously, the minotaur chieftain's temper flared up. However, before he could lash out, he was stopped by the Lamia chieftain beside him.

"Hmph, although we don't know why the Four Heavenly Kings recommended you to be the Demon King, we believe you are not capable of being the king, so please leave this position today."

The chieftain of the Lamia tribe spoke with a strong sense of disdain, which piqued Helum's interest slightly.

"Although I don't really want to be this Demon King, who gave you the courage to 'force' me to abdicate? I'm very curious."

Helum became somewhat interested in the person who had instructed them to come, but she remained indifferent to these few simpletons who had been used as pawns.

Even his tone of voice seemed increasingly lazy.

"You think you can rely on the Four Heavenly Kings to help you? It's no use. The Four Heavenly Kings are all being held back by our people. Tonight, we must make you leave this position!"

These words were spoken by the chieftain of the One-Eyed Clan, and as Helum expected, their attitudes were unanimous.

"Hold back the Four Heavenly Kings? With your backing? That's no joke."

Helm said this, but her tone became serious, and she was no longer lazy on her throne.

The Four Heavenly Kings are clearly the pinnacle of the demon race's combat power. No matter how many demons there are, it's impossible for them to hold off the Four Heavenly Kings at the same time.

Unless there is outside help.

However, their goal is to get me off the throne... How did they know that today is the most crucial day for me to maintain the seal?

If I leave the throne, I estimate that my mental energy will be drained in less than three minutes.

If the purpose is to seal them, then the person who instructed them, or rather, misled them, is quite obvious.

People from the Abyss Order? Ugh, what annoying flies.

Helm tapped the throne with his fingers, his mood becoming somewhat irritable.

However, Hilmu's actions led to misunderstandings among several people on the throne.

"Now you're finally panicking, aren't you? Keep talking to us like you were before!"

The minotaur looked at Hellum, who suddenly seemed "nervous" on the throne, and spoke arrogantly.

Helum, finding them rather annoying, said bluntly, "All this talk, aren't you just being manipulated? But after all these threats you've made to make me step down from the throne, why are you all too afraid to come any closer to me? Have you chickened out?"

"Who are you calling a coward!"

Upon hearing this, the Minotaur chieftain's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he wanted to rush onto the throne and throw Helum down.

But he was stopped by the chieftain of Lamia.

"Calm down, don't get provoked! Have you forgotten what that lord said? No matter how weak someone is, as long as they sit on the throne, none of us can stand against them! Don't go and throw your life away!"

Upon hearing Chief Lamia's words, the Minotaur chief immediately stopped in his tracks. Although he was angry, he was not without reason and would not do anything that would lead to his death.

However, Helum felt a little strange listening to Chief Lamia's words.

Where did this fake information come from? Have they been completely misled by the Abyss Cult?

While she did indeed become stronger after becoming the Demon King, the reason wasn't the throne, but rather the Abyss...

Her current strength is genuinely god-level; if she wanted to kill those fools below, they would have been dead long ago.

But the Abyss Order went to so much trouble, did they just send these few King-level idiots to me to mock me?

Do you really think I'm a minor and can be tricked off the throne this way?

Lulum found it funnier the more she thought about it, but soon she stopped laughing.

Because the chieftain of the Oni race, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:

“I can sense that you are very strong, but we also need the power beneath your throne… We are not here to mock you, but to deliver a message: your daughter is in the hands of our order. If you do not arrive at the designated location within an hour, prepare to meet a daughter who has been ‘baptized’ by us.”
