The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

However, Lucas was completely unmoved by the launched spell!

Oh, if it weren't for the fact that he shouted "Stop!" after launching the magic, Chloe would have really thought that Lucas was possessed by "Tachibana-senpai" again.

If Lucas wasn't unwilling to move, but genuinely unable to... had she underestimated the strength of this black-robed loli?

I hope Lucas is alright after I escaped...

As Chloe watched the magical spikes approaching her, she instinctively raised her left arm and held it in front of her heart.

Although Chloe knew that the effect of her actions was negligible... Even if she managed to block the attack, she would have no way to deal with the second stage of the magic.

But deep down, she had a feeling... that if she raised her hand, she could block it!

Just as Chloe instinctively raised her hand to shield her chest, [Void Pierce] struck Chloe in front of her.

clang!

To Chloe's surprise, the holy-level magic made a metallic sound when it touched her arm.

From the moment Chloe jumped until the magic hit her, the entire process took less than half a second.

Thankfully, Chloe's instinctive reaction to raise her left arm was a quick one; otherwise, it might have been too late.

However, the sound of metal clashing... Chloe looked at her left arm in surprise and found that a black and white arm armor had appeared on her left arm at some point.

Looking at the familiar, plastic-looking arm armor, Chloe thought with some surprise:

"Isn't this my genuine Bandai product?"

Then, she finally came into contact with the teleportation array...

But when Chloe touched the teleportation array, which was slightly delayed in activation, the black-robed loli seemed somewhat surprised that her attack had not worked.

So she followed up with a mental, telekinetic, holy-level spell—[Mental Blast]—attempting to finish him off.

However, she was still a step too slow. Before the attack could hit Chloe, Chloe's figure had already disappeared into the teleportation array.

It can't be said that her trick was completely ineffective... because even though Chloe disappeared into the teleportation array, part of the array's structure was indeed destroyed.

The damaged part is exactly what constitutes the coordinate system.

……

"Didn't it feel like it hit? Interesting little thing... I should have just attacked the teleportation array and kept her here."

After seeing Chloe escape, Stella, the Demon Queen, stopped being angry and instead murmured with amusement.

Then, Stella, the Demon Queen, said to Lucas, who was immobilized by her mental power:

"Sir Lucas, you seem to know that little fellow quite well? How about this, tell me everything you know about him, and I'll forgive you..."

Clearly, she was very interested in the summoned little guy, and even her mood, which had been ruined by Lucas, improved.

Because there aren't many things that can truly interest her.

Since the entire incident had occurred in less than a second, and the echo of Lucas's shout, "Stop!" hadn't even faded yet, Stella had already finished off the attacker.

Because there was no turning back, all Lucas knew was that the Demon King Stella had used two spells to attack Chloe... He wasn't even confident that Chloe could survive.

So after Stella, the Demon Queen, asked him a question, he immediately asked her in return, "What have you been doing! How is Princess Chloe doing?!"

"Don't answer my question with a question... but I'll let you know anyway, she's alright. This is all thanks to your improved magical skills, the activation delay has been reduced by almost half... I can only say that you are truly amazing."

The Demon Queen Stella praised Lucas without reservation, and then said, "Now you can answer my question, right?"

After confirming that Chloe was alright, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief and said in a calm tone, "She is your granddaughter."

"?"

Chapter 114 This is…human territory?

"Why does something always go wrong every time I teleport after I become a demon...?"

Chloe, inside the teleportation tunnel, felt dizzy and couldn't help but complain to herself.

Although she could understand why the teleportation would malfunction.

After all, this was a teleportation array hastily constructed by Lucas, and after being hit by a "range shock" spell, it's probably already in a terrible state.

It would be good enough if it could run and the teleportation process wouldn't hurt her; Chloe didn't expect it to be very comfortable.

Despite feeling a little dizzy, Chloe couldn't help but examine the arm armor that had suddenly appeared in her hand.

This arm armor is part of the "divine artifact" she drew when she was still a hero.

As for what exactly that "magic weapon" is, she won't go into details due to copyright issues, but she can only say it's a genuine Bandai product that's truly "very sexy"... and maybe she'll add a little more about Pond Guardian...

"The driver that summoned this gauntlet completely broke down during the final battle... I even saw fragments in the grave just now..."

Chloe glanced at her waist and, after confirming that there was no extra belt around her waist, she looked puzzled.

"It couldn't be that thing... but its defensive power is genuine. It easily blocked even Saint-level magic, and I didn't even feel any impact... so how did this thing end up in my hands?"

Chloe then used an item appraisal function on the gauntlet in her hand, wanting to know how she got it.

However, her assessment failed.

Or rather, it wasn't a failure, but rather a complete lack of response...

"!"

Having witnessed similar situations before, Chloe immediately understood why the test had no reaction...

Character assessment? Chloe tentatively performed a character assessment on the arm armor in her hand.

Surprisingly, the character identification actually succeeded.

However, what was identified was not the panel of her arm armor, but...

Name: Li Wenji

[Race: Grass/Succubus/Heroic Spirit]

【Attribute: Wood】

[Capabilities: Projection Field]

[Level: 31 (Saint-level)]

[Note: I chose the name. Do you like it? It doesn't matter if you don't.]

"???"

Looking at the character panel, Chloe finally understood why she had encountered a "404" error when she checked the character panel before. It turned out that even her character had changed.

Chloe said she was very angry.

Moreover, this panel seems a bit off.

She won't complain about the name... How come she has two more races?

Although "grass" was her race before she became a succubus, what's with this "heroic spirit"?

Are we setting up a *cup war?

Even in a holy war, you shouldn't just use other people's corpses as holy relics!

As for the "projection field" ability... she's very familiar with it too. Isn't that one of her former Saint-level fields?

This explains where the arm armor on her hand came from... was it a projection? No wonder it couldn't be identified.

And that level description... why is there a Saint-level at level 31? Is it because of the domain that the rating increased?

However, the domain's power has not been weakened in the slightest, which is quite absurd... So, is level actually the limitation?

Chloe looked at the rather strange panel and figured out the general situation.

The reason she suddenly appeared on her own grave, stepping on her own corpse, was because someone... or rather, members of those two cults, used "his corpse" as a "sacred relic" to perform a summoning ritual.

Because she was still alive, she was specially summoned.

This probably explains why she suddenly appeared on "her own corpse"...

Then, Chloe looked at the [Character Switch] button, which was working normally, and casually opened the [Character Switch] page.

Sure enough, she could switch between two characters.

One is [Li Wen] and the other is [Chloe].

"This teleportation array leads directly to the Demon King's castle, right? My current identity isn't purely demonic... I should switch back to [Chloe] first; I need to slowly figure out this new identity..."

Chloe thought this, and then clicked on Chloe's panel.

However, she was unable to switch successfully, and the system displayed an error message: "[Unable to switch, reason: not connected]"

"?" Chloe indicated that she did not understand what this meant.

If it can't be switched, then it can't be switched. What does "not connected" mean?

"Forget it, Lucas can give me up anyway. His face probably hasn't changed. I'll explain it to Lulum later... Anyway, I'm planning to reveal my identity today."

Unable to figure out the reason for the time being, Chloe sighed and decided to see Lulum first.

But things were not as simple as she had imagined.

Quite some time passed before Chloe realized something was wrong.

"Why haven't we reached our destination yet? I remember Lucas teleporting me from the Demon King's Castle to my 'hometown' only took five minutes, right? It's been at least ten minutes now, hasn't it? And I feel so dizzy... I'm really about to throw up..."

Not long after Chloe thought this, the teleportation finally arrived at the destination.

"So why are we still in the forest? And these trees..." Chloe looked at the surrounding trees, her expression somewhat blank.

The tree species in this forest are clearly not from the Demon Realm... nor are they species found in the Starry Forest!

Could this place be inhabited by humans?

Soon, Chloe discovered a clearing not far away in the forest... The ground of this clearing seemed to be made of flat stones.

Chloe approached and discovered that the open space... was actually a very wide road.

Looking at the ever-extending road, Chloe was certain that this was human territory.

"So why am I in human territory? Shouldn't teleportation take me to the Demon King's castle? Lucas wouldn't make such a basic mistake, would he?"

Chloe thought with a puzzled expression.

Come to think of it, all her things are gone... She clearly hid a bunch of things under her skirt, especially that scroll that could connect her to Lulum.

Was it because it wasn't summoned along with others? Chloe wondered.

She wasn't teleported back to the Demon King's Castle, and she has no way to contact Lulum... What should she do?

If Lulu finds out she's suddenly gone, she'll probably be very worried, right?

Speaking of which... is the mistletoe contract still valid? Could she contact Lulum through Stella, who is still in the Demon King's Castle?

Chloe suddenly realized this.

……

Inside Chloe's residence in the Demon King's castle, as Chloe was summoned there, Lulum and Stella, who were chatting in the living room, simultaneously noticed something unusual happening in the kitchen.

The reason is actually quite simple: they both heard the sound of the plate falling to the ground.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw broken pieces of a plate and clearly cooked food scattered on the ground.

the most important is……

"Chloe/Daddy! What's wrong?"

For some unknown reason, Chloe collapsed to the ground like a puppet.

Lulum and Stella immediately ran to Chloe's side and called out to her.

But Chloe, lying on the ground, showed no reaction whatsoever... her breathing had even become unusually weak.

Chapter 115 The Hero's Ashes Have All Been Scattered! (Part 2)

Upon seeing Chloe suddenly collapse to the ground and her breathing inexplicably weaken, Lulum anxiously cast various healing and status-removing spells on her.

But it seems like none of them have any effect.

Lulum's treatment was obviously ineffective, because Chloe hadn't suffered any real harm; her soul had simply been summoned away.
