The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

"By the way, didn't the Abyss Order try to capture Tepera's daughter before? These two things should be related..."

While Lulum was still pondering the Abyss Order's purpose and the connection between their two actions, Chloe entered the Demon King's Palace through Linfiel.

Upon entering the Demon King's Palace, Chloe looked up at the throne on the high platform at the front of the hall. The familiar figure in black armor tentatively asked, "Lulu? Is that you?"

Lulum saw Chloe arrive and then realized that she was still wearing the armor meant to enhance her dignity.

She immediately removed her armor, revealing her true form, and smiled at Chloe, saying, "It's me, Chloe, you've come? I'm sorry, I can't get up from this position right now..."

Upon seeing that it was indeed Lulum on the throne, Chloe immediately tossed aside the lump of stuff she was dragging and ran up to the platform, throwing herself into Lulum's arms.

"Lulum, I've been bullied!" Chloe said in Lulum's arms, sounding aggrieved.

Looking at Chloe snuggling in his arms, Lulum just smiled and patted her head to comfort her, "It's alright, it's alright. Who bullied you? I'll take care of her."

Upon hearing Lulum's reply, Chloe looked up at Lulum's silver hair and said, "Are you Black Lulum? I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Blacklum nonchalantly replied, "That's right, but I'm also your Lulum mother, so there's no need to be so particular about titles."

After responding to Chloe's words, before Chloe could react, Helum continued, "Little Chloe, Lulum didn't ask you, but I'll be frank, you're probably hiding something from us, aren't you?"

Helm said this in a very serious tone.

Chapter 53 You guys went out fooling around, didn't you?

"What are you talking about? Look me in the eyes. How could I possibly be hiding anything from Lulu's mom?"

When faced with Halum's question, Chloe opened her eyes wide and replied to Halum with an attitude of "I don't know anything."

Helm looked at Chloe, whose eyes were wide open like saucers, and couldn't help but chuckle. His serious expression vanished in an instant.

“Little Chloe, you’ve refused to call us Mom since you were born. You really can’t lie… Never mind, these are all minor things. You can tell me when you want. I’m just glad you’re alright.”

Hearing Helm's words, Chloe blushed and lowered her head like a child whose lie had been exposed, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, saying, "I'm...I'm sorry..."

All of the above was an act by Chloe.

Of course, Chloe wasn't putting on this act to fool Lulum. If Chloe wanted to fool Lulum, she wouldn't need to use such clumsy acting skills, since she considers herself a seasoned actress.

Her purpose in doing this was to make Lulum realize that she couldn't reveal her secret... After all, things like systems, heroes, and rebirth, whether Lulum believed her or not, would be incredibly troublesome to explain if she told anyone.

It's better not to say anything.

Afterwards, Chloe talked to Lulum about what had happened to her, telling her about a mysterious organization that wanted to kidnap her...

……

The next day, Chloe struggled to get out of bed very late.

Logically speaking, today is the first day of school, and she should have gotten up early to go to school, instead of sleeping until the afternoon.

But what does it matter? Although skipping class on the first day of school might have a bad influence, she's sure that even if she went to the classroom today, she would just sit there doing nothing.

There won't be any teachers coming to class today, because their teacher was handed over to the interrogator by her own hands yesterday.

Unexpectedly, a member of a "terrorist organization" was lurking among the faculty of the college.

Lulum seemed to know a lot about this organization called "The Order," but refused to explain it to Chloe in detail.

It's just a terrorist organization, isn't it? Is it necessary to keep it from her? This left Chloe somewhat puzzled.

But just as Lulum respected her secret and didn't press further when Lulum was clearly pretending to be unaware, Chloe, realizing that Lulum had something difficult to say about this matter, also didn't pursue it any further.

However, this only made Chloe more interested in the cult. To be honest, even the usually gentle Lulum couldn't help but show a look of disgust when the cult was mentioned, which shows just how troublesome the cult was.

Although Chloe was also eager to know the true nature of this cult, she didn't know where to begin her investigation.

Since Lulum won't tell her, how is she supposed to investigate?

"Never mind, let nature take its course..."

Chloe stretched, patted her face, and decided to stop thinking about these things.

An organization that even Lulum finds disgusting, even if she were still a hero, she couldn't possibly fight against it, let alone now that she's just a delicate little girl.

The most important thing right now is to focus on leveling up.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have been slacking off lately, I haven't been doing my daily training... Oh right, did I forget something?"

Chloe felt quite tired after returning from the Demon King's castle yesterday... mainly because she had exhausted a lot of energy. Even though Lulum forcibly replenished her energy, it didn't help.

So Chloe just went straight to sleep and has been sleeping ever since. Now she feels like she has recovered most of her strength.

But what exactly had she forgotten? Chloe scratched her head, glanced at where she slept, and suddenly remembered.

It's Ilesia! She's forgotten Ilesia!

No wonder I felt like something was missing when I woke up today. It turns out it was because someone was missing.

She wouldn't... still be in Angelo's dorm, would she?

Chloe immediately ran to Ilesia's house and asked the servants who were slacking off if they had seen Ilesia.

The answer was no; they all thought Ilesia was having an affair with Chloe… Hearing this reply, Chloe’s eyes twitched. These servants were really…quite something.

She had thought that since Ilesia had been missing for an afternoon, someone would bring her back. She never expected that these servants would all think that Ilesia was with her... fooling around.

Is this something a servant should say?

"Then Ilesia is probably still fast asleep in that dormitory. After all, that silly girl drank two cups of 'Sleeping Tea,' she's probably still asleep right now, right?"

After leaving Ilesia's place, Chloe decided to go find Ilesia first and bring her back.

Following her memory and asking for directions, Chloe finally found the teachers' dormitory where Alesia was before dark.

As Chloe pushed open the door to the dormitory, she immediately saw Ilesia sprawled on the living room sofa.

Seeing that Ilesia had a peaceful expression and a steady breathing, Chloe went up and gently touched her face, trying to wake her up, but Ilesia did not respond at all.

"Is the drug really that potent?"

Looking at Ilesia, who was still fast asleep, Chloe was in a dilemma.

Given Ilesia's condition, she couldn't just carry her back like that, could she?

If Ilesia's servants saw this, how would she explain it? Even if she told the truth, those servants, whose attitudes were clearly off, probably wouldn't believe her, right?

Let's wake her up first.

However, Chloe tried various methods but failed to wake Alesia.

Then she suddenly remembered something.

Doesn't she also have a [Skill Enhancement Card]?

The only skill she currently knows is [Healing Spell]. She had originally planned to keep this card and upgrade it after she learned some offensive magic, but given the current situation, upgrading Healing Spell wouldn't be a loss.

She remembered that after the healing spell was upgraded, not only would the healing effect be enhanced, but it would also come with a detoxification effect... With her luck, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't get any special effects when she upgraded her skills... After all, she had upgraded so many skills before, and only a few of them had special effects, and those were all at high levels. She had never gotten any special effects with low-level skills like this.

Furthermore, if her healing spell is upgraded, the duration she can use the larger size will also increase accordingly.

It's like giving up upgrading minor skills and going straight for upgrading the ultimate skill, so it's not a bad deal, right?

After convincing herself, Chloe scrolled through the bottom of the group chat, found the [Skill Enhancement Card], and used it directly on [Healing Spell].

[Skill: Healing Spell, Upgrade Successful]

[Skill: Healing Spell, increases healing effectiveness, grants special effects]

Chloe: ?

Chapter Fifty-Four: Yaka Circus!

Special effects? How come this remote location gave me a special effect in this situation?

Chloe stared blankly at the skill that had been upgraded to have special effects.

It's important to know that special effects are extremely rare, and Chloe has never gotten a special effect from just leveling up a skill once before.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chloe instantly became excited.

According to Chloe's experience, none of the special effects are useless. For example, she once upgraded a sword skill and got a special effect called "Dual Wielding"... She later changed the name of that skill to Starburst Stream Slash.

For example, a punch technique that can inflict eight instances of true damage with each punch.

In short, this was a huge win! Chloe looked excitedly at the special effect of the healing spell.

[Skill: Healing Spell +1]

[Effect: Restores health]

[Special Effect: The recovery effect can exceed the maximum health.]

At first glance, Chloe thought this special effect was nothing special.

Adding fake health to yourself? What's the point? Is this special effect just useless?

Chloe thought with some disappointment.

Then, she had a flash of inspiration and cast a healing spell on herself.

Then he looked at his status panel.

[hp: 100%] ~ [hp: 101%]

[mp: 100%] ~ [mp: 89%]

[sp: 90%] ~ [sp: 85%]

This status panel was fixed by the system yesterday, and Chloe can see her detailed status here.

After she used a healing spell on herself, her health points indeed exceeded 100%, but in return, her MP and SP both decreased.

MP corresponds to her magic power, and it's normal for it to decrease after using magic.

The decrease in SP is quite intriguing.

As is well known, SP stands for stamina, and simply using magic generally does not consume stamina.

Chloe cast another healing spell on herself, and her SP value dropped again.

To verify her hypothesis, she opened Ilesia's status panel and cast a healing spell on her as well.

"Alesia's SP value has also decreased. I guessed right. Breaking through the life limit will deplete stamina... Isn't this what they call a 'poisonous prediction'?"

Looking at this incredible skill, Chloe smiled like a child.

She completely forgot that she had only wanted to wake Ilesia up in the first place.

But is that more important than acquiring a divine skill?

……

Finally, Chloe woke Alesia up.

As for how Chloe woke her up? In the end, she had no choice but to try to draw some blood from Ilesia's mouth in an attempt to lure her awake.

After Chloe bled Alesia, she did react. Chloe's original idea was to wake Alesia up like fishing.

The problem is that Irelia's reaction was a bit too intense.

Simply put, immediately after Chloe bled, Ilesia pounced on her and kept sucking her blood, and Ilesia seemed to be sleepwalking.

Is this what they mean by a fisherman never going home empty-handed? These were Chloe's last thoughts before her brain went blank.

She only let go after Alesia had sucked her fill.

"Burp—I'm so full. Hey? Little Yi?"

After Ilesia had her fill, she seemed to finally come to her senses. As she regained consciousness, she looked at Chloe, who was pinned beneath her and whose face was flushed, and she understood what was happening.

So she immediately stood up and went to Chloe's side, saying, "Chloe, what just happened? Did I lose control again? I'm so sorry..."

As she spoke, Alesia's voice trembled with a hint of tears, because she remembered what Chloe had told her before: if she attacked Chloe again, Chloe would hate her.

She didn't want to be disliked by Chloe!

Seeing Chloe lying on the ground, unresponsive to her words, Alesia truly believed that Chloe disliked her. So she threw herself on Chloe again, crying, "Little Chloe, please don't ignore me, okay? I'll give you the money... I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry..."

Chloe didn't react because she hadn't recovered yet. After all, Ilesia had inhaled too intensely, causing her brain to shut down—and this was the fastest it had ever shut down.

However, when Chloe heard the "keyword," she struggled to recover. After recovering, she found Irecia lying on top of her, sobbing, which left her somewhat at a loss.

This is the second time this has made a girl cry, and she has no idea what happened.
