The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

So she really shouldn't have believed a drunkard?

Speaking of...

"No, this is water. As a nobleman, how could I not know what wine is... The bottle you're holding is the real wine?"

Lin Fei'er: "?"

After hearing Alesia's sarcastic remarks, Linfier looked at the bottle in Alesia's hand with her eyes that made her see things slightly double.

She stared at it for a long time before she could barely make out the four words on the bottle: "Medical Alcohol".

No wonder people say the more you drink this water, the thirstier you get… Lin Fei’er thought to herself, smacking her lips, and then she took another sip… and another.

Seeing that Linfiel was almost completely drunk, Ilesia decided to ignore her and followed Chloe and the others.

Lin Fei'er, still dazed and confused, instinctively followed.

……

Chloe was unaware that two "stalkers" had appeared behind her... She was focused on cultivating a relationship with Stella, the daughter she had acquired by chance.

Childcare education is essential.

As they walked, Chloe introduced Stella to the things she was curious about.

For example, what are those plants over there? What are those buildings over here? Why are those two older girls putting their mouths together? In short, Chloe explains everything Stella is curious about.

Although Chloe herself didn't recognize most of the things, she had the system!

There's nothing that can't be determined... If there is, she can just make it up!

Anyway, Stella was just a newborn baby, and she didn't know if it was true or not...

Of course, she has already reported the inappropriate scenes that appeared on the street to the "Student Affairs Office".

How can we let our children watch this in broad daylight? What if they get corrupted?

With Stella's precise directions, Chloe had basically explored all the places to visit in the academy before school ended.

The academy looks large, but in reality, apart from the various side jobs, the only places you can really explore are the teaching buildings, conference halls, library, canteen, dormitories, and various training grounds.

There's no need to visit the dorms, since Chloe and the others don't live there; the conference hall and teaching buildings aren't worth visiting either; as for the library... she was practically kicked out of the library; and finally, it wasn't mealtime at the cafeteria.

So Chloe and Stella were basically just browsing through all sorts of training grounds.

These training grounds are almost always occupied; people are either exercising or sparring.

And because almost everyone in the academy was a mage, Chloe was quite amazed by the skills of the senior students training in the training grounds.

Unexpectedly, almost all of them were senior students, and their magic level was many times better than hers... Even though she was also a high-level demon, she couldn't even cast a small fireball spell.

However, she could throw a "Flame Fist"... Hmph, trash magic, better not to learn it!

"Speaking of which, the physical training grounds... there are really few people there..."

Looking at the few lonely training grounds in the corner, Chloe shook her head and thought.

These demon mages basically rely on their naturally strong physiques, so they generally have no intention of exercising.

You should know that in the human race, if an ordinary mage doesn't exercise and is still a couch potato, then sorry... don't even think about breaking through to the master level before you get strong.

Because casting spells also requires physical strength, especially offensive magic.

After wandering around for a while, Chloe led Stella to an empty training ground.

Chloe felt she had taught Stella enough about common sense. Stella was no ordinary child; she learned incredibly fast… She could even cast the Fireball spell after just glancing at the Fireball spell in a parenting guide. It was terrifying.

Although Chloe still wanted to complain about why the spell for Fireball was written in the parenting guide, it didn't matter anymore.

Chloe brought Stella to this remote training ground simply to test Stella's current strength.

Because Stella was categorized as an "item" by the system, Chloe could only see Stella's upper and lower limits on the system panel.

However, is the lower limit "advanced"? I wonder if it refers to Stella's physical strength, her magical level, or... both?

As for Stella's "Quality" description, which states "depends on the host's energy supply," does it mean that Chloe should receive energy from herself, or that Chloe should extract energy from others? This is something Chloe is quite curious about.

Because Stella, like the "Demon Sword," is a byproduct of the "mutated mistletoe" that inexplicably signed a contract with her.

It's hard not to think that Stella possesses the same characteristics as the Demon Sword.

"Stella, can you hit this wooden stake with all your might? I want to know how strong you are..."

Chloe pointed to the large wooden stake in front of her, which was almost brand new and had no trace of anything left on it, and said to Stella.

This large wooden stake is a complete section of "Ironwood" core, a type of tree native to the Demon Realm. Although it is a plant, its core is as hard as steel.

Even a master-level expert cannot break it without the aid of a weapon.

So the general use of this plant... is to make weapons.

Warning: Large wooden stakes!

Chloe made Stella hit the wooden stake with all her might, just to see Stella's current strength.

Advanced level shouldn't be able to break it, master level should be able to crack it, grandmaster level should be able to interrupt it, and for grandmaster level and above, it depends on the distance it can knock you away.

Chloe's idea was good, but...

Stella looked at her little fist at Chloe's request, then at the tall wooden stake that was even taller than her, and gave a pitiful look.

But she gritted her teeth and decided to "listen to her father."

"That punch will probably make her cry for a long time, right?" Chloe thought of this the moment she saw Stella's aggrieved expression.

Stella is, after all, just a child who has only been "born" for a short time, and her strength is very likely only at the advanced level... or even just a high-level mage. What if she gets hurt by this punch?

Seeing Stella preparing to obediently throw a punch, Chloe, feeling sorry for the child, quickly called for her to stop.

"Stop, stop, stop, Stella. If you don't think you can handle it, then don't force yourself! I don't want to see you get hurt... Why don't you try finding a weapon? Just be careful not to hurt yourself..."

Chloe stepped forward, pulled Stella aside, and patted her little head as she spoke.

"Daddy is so good!" After hearing Chloe's words, Stella rushed into Chloe's arms and snuggled against him a few times, her previously aggrieved little expression turning back into a pure smile.

"Dad, if I can use a weapon, can I break that piece of wood?"

Stella nuzzled Chloe a few times before stepping out of Chloe's arms. She was now standing in front of the large wooden stake, looking at Chloe with an eager expression.

"Anyway, it's something the academy gave to students for training... it should be fine, right? Oh well, if you can break it, go ahead and do it. The trouble won't be our problem anyway..."

After receiving Chloe's response, Stella did not hesitate. She suddenly raised her hand and swung it at the large wooden stake.

Then… that 1.5m long, 30cm in diameter wooden stake melted right before Chloe’s eyes… yes, just like ice meeting fire, it quickly turned into a puddle of mud.

Chloe looked at Stella's small hand that had transformed into a sword blade, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, Chloe immediately examined Stella's small hand that had become a sword blade.

The Blade of the Demon Sword

Upon seeing the assessment results, Chloe silently touched the bottom of her skirt... the Demon Sword was indeed gone.

No wonder she felt like something was missing after waking up today. So Stella has fused with the Demon Sword?

"By the way, Stella's [item name] is called Shadow of the Demon's Claw. It's not surprising that it can be fused with the Demon's Claw Sword."

Chloe guessed in her heart, but when she asked Stella about it, she received a negative answer...

Chapter 103 Where are these nesting dolls?

Before Chloe could ask Stella any questions, Stella had already turned the wooden stake into a puddle of mud with her small hands that had transformed into sword blades.

Stella didn't immediately turn her hand back to normal. Instead, like a child who had received a new toy, she waved her little hand, which had turned into an emerald green sword blade, a few more times with a look of surprise and curiosity.

After swinging her sword a few times, she still wasn't satisfied, so she turned her attention to the sandbag next to her, seemingly wanting to use her sword blade to slash at the sandbag beside her.

If Chloe hadn't confirmed that her "Demon Sword" was indeed missing and then walked over to Stella, intending to ask her something like, "Did it merge with her 'Demon Sword'?", Stella might have actually struck down with it.

In short, Stella's penchant for causing destruction makes her seem like a normal little kid...

Upon seeing Chloe approach her, Stella instantly abandoned the idea of ​​chopping anything more. Instead, she looked at Chloe with a proud expression (=ω=), as if she were "asking for credit."

That expression should be looking up to get that feeling... but unfortunately, Stella looks down instead... Chloe couldn't help but think to herself as she looked at Stella, who was almost half a head taller than her.

Before Chloe could even speak, Stella raised her little hand, which had transformed into a sword blade, and waved it twice in front of Chloe, as if showing off. Then, in a slightly excited and proud tone, she said to Chloe, "Daddy! Look, look, this looks like someone else's weapon! They even broke such a big wooden pillar! Aren't they amazing?"

Although Chloe really wanted to remind Stella not to wave dangerous objects around in public, she decided to talk to her about it later when she saw Stella trying to charm her... After all, the child had just been born, and she really hadn't taught her these things.

Most importantly, Stella is a quick learner and a quick learner, and she's so obedient that she doesn't seem like a child at all. Chloe even wishes she could act more innocent like she does now.

It's not good for a child's physical and mental health to discourage her when she's happy... Let's wait until her excitement has passed before saying anything.

Thinking this through, Chloe seemed to understand why Lulum enjoyed watching her act cute...

So in the end, when Stella tried to act cute towards her, Chloe simply raised her hand and stroked Stella's little head, signaling her to calm down.

Stella, whose head was being patted by Chloe, also showed an expression of enjoyment. Her small hand, which had turned into a sword blade, returned to its original state as if afraid of cutting Chloe.

Seeing Stella sheath her sword, Chloe said in an affirmative tone, "Stella, you did a great job. You actually managed to destroy that wooden stake... and you also put away your dangerous weapon when I get close, which is also good. But remember next time, you can't just swing your weapon around... I'll teach you how to use your weapon in a while."

"Mm!" Stella readily accepted Chloe's encouraging teaching method, nodding happily as if to say, "I got it!"

After praising and lecturing Stella, Chloe finally got down to business with her.

She took Stella's hand, which had returned to its original state, and asked her with a smile:

"Stella, the weapon that just appeared in your hand, was it the Demon Sword? Did you fuse with it?"

Chloe was asking Stella this question based on her own speculation, because she wasn't entirely sure whether Stella had fused with the Demon Sword.

To be honest, if it weren't for the wooden stake that Stella destroyed at the beginning, which looked so familiar to Chloe in the end, Chloe wouldn't have associated it with the Demon Sword.

As for why it looked familiar? Well, Chloe had experience using the Magic Sword to chop down trees when she was experimenting with its usage.

She seemed to remember that when she cut it down, it only caused the tree to wither instantly... Was it because the tree stump was too weak?

Although Chloe's system identification shows that Stella's hand became the blade, known as the "Blade of the Demon Sword," the Demon Sword is actually just a small, emerald-green sword that looks like a dagger. Chloe's petite figure is so small that she can hide it under her skirt and carry it with her at all times.

But if the Demon Sword had started out as big as the blade that Stella's hand had turned into... that big, she would have died!

However, Stella's identities, [Shadow of the Demon] and [Sword of the Demon], differ by only one character, although there's a section of gibberish in Stella's description.

So it's possible that Stella and the Demon Sword are separate entities... Is it possible that only one derivative can exist at a time?

It's also possible that it was a Synchro Summon or an Xyz Summon.

However, none of this changes the fact that Stella is connected to the Demon Sword...

"?"

However, Stella merely blinked at Chloe's question, then looked at Chloe with a puzzled expression.

I don't seem to quite understand what Chloe meant.

Seeing Stella's puzzled expression, Chloe realized... Stella probably didn't understand what she was saying.

After all, Stella was only born not long ago... We can't expect too much.

So Chloe gave Stella a brief explanation of what the "Sword of the Demon" meant, as well as what "fusion," "synchronization," and "xygen" meant.

Although Stella didn't quite understand, the clever girl still roughly grasped what Chloe meant.

Then, Stella decisively rejected Chloe's question.

However, Stella's "denial" was not a verbal denial, but rather she directly took Chloe's hand and explained to Chloe through her actions what her relationship with the [Demon Sword] really was.

"Dad, the sword you're talking about...? You mean this one, right?"

Chloe saw Stella pull her hand towards her chest. Chloe was initially puzzled about what Stella was doing, but to her surprise, her hand melted into Stella's body after touching her chest.

Or rather, Chloe's hand entered Stella's body, and she touched something familiar from inside Stella's chest... the hilt of the Demon Sword!

"I see, I'm starting to understand everything."

After touching the hilt, Chloe understood the connection between the Demon Sword and Stella without Stella needing much explanation.

Good heavens! Are they using a set of nesting dolls?

Chapter 104 The Extraordinarily Brave Ilesia

Not long after Chloe brought Stella to this secluded training ground, her two little tagalongs quietly found "spectator spots" nearby and began to watch Chloe and the others from afar.

Alesia was hesitant because she didn't know how to join Chloe and Stella... She was waiting for the right opportunity.
