The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Upon seeing Lulum appear on the screen, Chloe quickly said, "Lulu, I forgot to mention which city I'm in..."

Before Chloe could finish speaking, Lulum understood her meaning and shook her head with a smile, "It's alright, Chloe. I've already sent someone to pick you up. Don't you still have the tracking mark Linfiel made on you? Finding your location is very easy."

Upon hearing Lulum's reply, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she had worried for nothing.

Then Lulum asked Chloe, "You were in such a hurry just now, what happened over there?"

"It's nothing serious, just a little misunderstanding... Lulum, who's picking me up? When will they arrive?" Chloe said casually to Lulum, then seemed to realize something and asked Lulum for confirmation.

"The person who came to pick you up is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon Queen Miao Qiya. As for when she will arrive... given her speed, she should be here soon, right?"

When Chloe asked Lulu the two questions, she answered the first one. After answering the first question, she thought for a moment and then gave a not very certain answer to the second question.

After all, she didn't know much about Muqia's speed or Chloe's exact distance from the Demon King's castle, so she couldn't come up with a definite answer right away.

"Then I'll trouble Lulum to urge that Demon King to tell her I'm waiting for her outside Utan City... I have something to attend to here, so I'll hang up now."

"Wait! Chloe, you said you were in which city..."

After receiving Lulum's reply, Chloe said those words and immediately hung up the communication, without even hearing Lulum's somewhat panicked shout at the end.

As for why Chloe hung up the call so hastily, it was because she suddenly realized... that some people seemed to have started to surround her...

There wasn't even the slightest attempt to conceal it, as if afraid Chloe wouldn't notice.

Chloe immediately hung up the call and walked out of the not-too-deep alley.

"Leave this city as soon as possible? So she knew I was being targeted by someone..."

Chloe deliberately slowed down and walked slowly down the street, pretending not to notice anything, when she suddenly remembered the words Eustia had left behind when she left.

Eustia seemed to have foreseen that she would encounter this trouble, and even gave her a piece of advice... In other words, Eustia actually had a clue about the people who were targeting her.

How could they so openly send dozens of people from within the city to surround her? Could it be the city lord? A local strongman? Or perhaps the church?

It can't be another religious order, can it?

And what exactly was their purpose in targeting her? Chloe really couldn't figure it out.

Even though her disguise card is still active and her demon identity shouldn't be exposed... could it be because of her "transmigrator" identity? It's very possible, and Eustia only warned her to leave quickly because she was certain of this.

But what good would be in blocking a "time traveler"?

Lost in thought, Chloe slowly walked to another street.

"It seems so quiet, there's hardly anyone on the street..."

Looking at the empty streets, Chloe understood something.

It's a barrier that drives people away; it seems those surrounding her are about to make their move.

Although she didn't know what these people's purpose was in surrounding her, she would consider it a success as long as she wasn't caught.

Chloe touched the city wall and thought.

She strolled slowly down the street, her goal being to get closer to the city wall.

On the surface, she was surrounded and had nowhere to run. If those surrounding her didn't continue to follow her slowly but instead rushed up in a swarm, she would have no chance of escape.

But no matter how strong the city walls are, they can't stop a Saint-level expert...

So, in full view of everyone, Chloe made a hole in the city wall and walked outside the city.

Chapter 88 Gan tn's First Shot

"Where did they go? Weren't they just by the city wall a moment ago?"

Those who had surrounded Chloe were completely dumbfounded after watching her disappear from the city wall.

Because Chloe's speed in dismantling the city wall exceeded their perception range, none of them saw how Chloe disappeared from the side of the city wall.

"There's a small crack in the wall!" The first person to rush to the wall exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the crack that Chloe had made.

It was a narrow gap, just wide enough for a small child to squeeze through sideways, and it was perfectly smooth, as if it had been tailor-made for Chloe to escape...

"Why is there a crack here? Is this the power of a time traveler? Quickly get around the city gate and execute Plan B!"

"It was a man who seemed to be in charge," said one of the men.

"Sir, Plan B is..."

"Plan B, whatever Plan B is, spread out and capture them all! Live or dead!"

……

Chloe, who cut off her large size to demolish the wall, certainly couldn't just make a big hole in the wall. Wouldn't that allow those who were surrounding her to catch up through the hole?

How can she stall for time then?

So she was willing to expend more energy to precisely pry a crack in the wall.

As for how Chloe managed to peel the brick so neatly... well, she used her fingers to "pry" it off.

Although Chloe's delicate fingers were ruined after the injury, she had a healing spell, so it was just a minor injury.

After all, there are limitations to using her main account. Unless she risks using teleportation, she won't be able to escape very far under the pursuit of these people.

As for why she didn't just wipe them out, it's because Chloe logged into her main account and used a group detection skill to find out the level of the people surrounding her.

Among these people, there are several grandmasters, and even one general. Moreover, none of these dozens of people are below the senior level.

Chloe could barely handle one, two, or seven or eight people, but this was dozens of people scattered across the field! How could she possibly eliminate them all with her limited stamina? Even if she didn't eliminate them all, and only one person remained in the end, it would still be a defeat for her.

Unless they stand in a group of dozens and get wiped out by her area-of-effect attack... but is that even possible?

So even if she's injured, Chloe will have to wait a little longer.

And now she doesn't expect to escape successfully; she can only hope to stall until the Demon King comes to pick her up.

After seeing the ranks of these people, Chloe could guess what kind of people they were.

In the human race, those who can break through to the Master level are revered by thousands, let alone the Grandmaster and General levels.

This doesn't seem like the kind of fighting force a border city with little strategic significance for humans could possess...

The only entities capable of deploying such a powerful force besides the Church and the Order of Confederation are those religious groups.

After all, in Chloe's memory, there were only these two organizations that would use Grandmaster-level members as cannon fodder.

Furthermore, considering that the church and religious groups seemed to have a cooperative relationship, she felt uneasy no matter which organization caught her.

After running for a while, Chloe stopped to rest, panting.

Because she can now see the status bar, Chloe is more aware of the limits of her ability to use her ultimate. As long as Chloe keeps an eye on her SP when using her ultimate, she won't run out of stamina.

In the few seconds it took her to run in her large size, she had already covered several miles and disappeared into a forest.

After catching her breath in the forest, Chloe decided to give up running.

Having run here, relying on the Saint-level "Hidden Breath Ring" on her hand, ordinary detection magic would not be able to find her.

Unless it's a special skill, anyone below the Saint level simply cannot detect Chloe's presence.

This is why Lulum was able to leave Chloe safely in human territory, waiting for someone to come and pick her up.

Because under normal circumstances, even if Chloe doesn't use the disguise card, she won't actually reveal her demon identity.

Unless Chloe reveals her tail, or someone notices the vertical pupil in her eyes... well, if it weren't for the disguise card, Eustia might have already discovered her demon identity.

"How much longer until the King of Calamity arrives..."

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Chloe switched back to her large form, intending to sense the surrounding area and see how the people looking for her were doing.

"The auras are all concentrated in one area. I thought they would spread out to give me a chance to take them down one by one... But why are these auras all less than 50 meters away from me? Do they all know I'm nearby? No way, do they really have special skills?"

Chloe wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought to herself.

I never expected to be so unlucky. Luckily, someone knew her approximate location... but the accuracy seemed a bit low, as these people all seemed to be concentrated a few dozen meters away.

If she hadn't found this tree hole and had hidden inside, she probably would have been discovered before the detection system even started working on these people.

No, it's probably too late. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the Demon King to arrive.

This was her mistake. She never expected someone to have a tracking skill. If she had known, she should have dug a hole and buried herself. That way, if they wanted to find her within a few dozen meters, they would have to dig three feet into the ground.

Anyway, she's a plant-type subspecies of demon, so burying her in the ground and hiding won't cause any problems... probably.

What should we do now? Stay put and pray, or fight them?

Chloe quietly peeked out of the tree hole and looked at the dozens of people gathered in the distance for a meeting. The leader was gesturing wildly, seemingly assigning tasks and having everyone search different areas.

If she wanted to make a move, now was the perfect opportunity… Looking at the neatly arranged group of people standing together, Chloe felt she could simply use an area-of-effect attack to wipe them out.

Although her magic power might not be enough to unleash a wide-range AoE spell capable of instantly killing a general-level enemy, she still has a card.

Chloe looked down and pulled a card out from under her skirt.

[Disposable Curry Stick: Upon use, unleashes a powerful light-based attack; the power depends on the user's level.]

Range: 1–99m (depending on the altitude)

This is a card with no cost. As long as she switches to the larger version, she can use a Saint-level light cannon attack with a range of up to 90 meters.

Although the damage from a light cannon attack is a bit weak, a Saint-level light cannon can still easily wipe out a General-level enemy.

Using this card on only a few dozen people is really a waste... but she has no other choice now.

"Tsk, they're all disposable anyway, so what if they've been used..."

Thinking this, Chloe looked up, ready to go straight out and give TN a good shove.

When Chloe looked up, she was startled.

"I found you."

Chapter 89 Luckily, I'm one step ahead.

Chloe looked up and saw a sleazy-looking head blocking the entrance to the tree hole.

This startled Chloe.

After making eye contact with Chloe, the head immediately said in a disgusting tone, "Found you."

It was as if he was afraid Chloe wouldn't realize he was a bad guy.

The truth is indeed so: the owner of this head was indeed one of those who surrounded Chloe... or rather, a minor leader.

The dozens of men surrounding Chloe were all led by a burly man of general rank. They were currently gathering to assign tasks, and it seemed that only this sleazy man had broken away from them and was acting alone.

Furthermore, judging from the aura emanating from this sleazy man, he should be someone extremely close to the rank of general, and his status should not be much lower than that of the burly man who was a general. Therefore, it is not impossible to explain why he acted alone.

He came to find Chloe all by himself, probably wanting to claim all the credit for himself.

This pervert's idea is good, but...

"Tsk, you scared the hell out of me. Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest." Chloe clicked her tongue disdainfully as she looked at the lewd man who had collapsed on the spot.

Facing dozens of people, Chloe, whose stamina was limited, wasn't confident she could fight them head-on, but facing one or two of them... Hey? Take this punch!

After being startled by that lewd face, Chloe only hesitated for a moment before punching the lewd man so hard that it flattened his nose after he finished his lines.

The lewd man lost consciousness before he could even let out a scream.

It can only be said that this sleazy man who wanted to steal the credit never expected that Chloe, this little girl, could unleash Saint-level power.

Although this sleazy guy is indeed a bit strange, his frail body is not enough for him to put on a show with Chloe face to face.

As for what's so strange about this sleazy guy...

To elaborate, there are two points. The first is that even with Chloe's full awareness, this lewd man still managed to scare her.

Chloe hadn't sensed the presence of this sleazy man in the vicinity before she saw him.

It's not that Chloe was completely unaware of the lewd man's presence, but rather that he seemed to have suddenly appeared in front of her, catching her off guard.

Based on Chloe's initial assessment, this sleazy man should be a spatial mage, and the one with the special tracking skill should also be him.

Otherwise, how would he know Chloe's exact location and teleport directly in front of her?

The first oddity could perhaps be explained in this way, but when Chloe checked his panel, he found a second oddity, which completely overturned Chloe's previous guesses.

This person's rank is actually General-level, but for some reason, his aura is below the average for General-level. Most importantly, the system display shows that his ability is—[Ability: None].

If he didn't have any special abilities, how did he discover Chloe and teleport to her side? This was something Chloe couldn't understand at all.
