The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Even her body was dug up by the cult!

The things that have happened lately feel more frequent than when she was a hero... Damn it, so annoying!

However, the two mysterious figures in conversation didn't seem to notice Chloe at all, and were even loudly plotting, as if they were afraid Chloe wouldn't hear them... Why not listen if it's too good to be true?

So Chloe hid herself, intending to listen to what the two of them were saying.

Most importantly, is the "cult" they're talking about the same one she knows?

If that's true... we might hear something useful.

This is what Chloe was thinking.

"The Church...arranged...to target the new hero? Yes, that must be it..."

After listening to what the person who spoke had to say, Chloe was already 80% certain.

The "cult" that can cooperate with the church should be the one that has been causing trouble for her recently.

Chloe remembered what Elena had told her before... that the bishop was colluding with the demons, and that demon was a member of the cult.

After all, her corpse was still in that demon loli's hands... How could Chloe forget?

"I never expected to run into members of the cult just by wandering into an alley... The cult really is everywhere..."

Chloe, who was eavesdropping around the corner, sighed silently.

And... they actually want to target the new hero. Is the new hero really going to participate in this "hero selection"?

I wonder what kind of overpowered character this hero is... but even if he is, he doesn't have time to grow stronger...

Chloe secretly glanced at the person being spoken to, the one referred to as "Master"... well, a master-level one, which is quite strong among humans.

Even if the newly summoned hero has the strongest cheat, it's impossible for him to easily defeat a master-level hero in just a few days, right?

She spent a lot of money on in-game purchases back then, and it took her a full three months to successfully advance to the Master level... At that speed, it's said that she's already the fastest leveling-up hero in the history of the game.

Furthermore, the cult members' desire to become "heroes" is probably part of some kind of conspiracy.

After hearing what the mysterious man said, Chloe frowned.

Chloe still only has a vague understanding of this mysterious cult. She only knows that the cult seems to have been causing trouble among the demons for a long time and also has influence among the humans, and seems to be involved in some kind of conspiracy... After all, the church has already been infiltrated, and now they want to attack the newly summoned hero, and even want to become the hero themselves.

Then again, what's so great about being a hero? If it weren't for the incredibly generous rewards the system gave her back then, she wouldn't have even considered becoming one... Wait, was that what she thought back then? Chloe couldn't quite remember.

However, none of that is the main point. The main point is this "cult," which she had never heard of before when she was a hero.

Could it be that they weren't very high-profile among humans, which is why she hadn't heard of them back then?

Chloe thought this was very likely.

Because this organization, which has long been active in causing trouble among the demons, couldn't have only started appearing among the humans in the last few years. You have to understand that it took the demons hundreds of years to raise a "holy dragon" to the level of "archbishop." How could someone from this "order" have risen to that level in the church in just a few years...

In short, these are all Chloe's thoughts and speculations; we'll have to hear what the two of them have to say next...

……

"Attack the new hero? So that strange guy was the hero summoned this time after all? If conditions allow, I can give it a try... But are you sure it's okay to speak so loudly? Aren't you afraid someone will hear you?"

"Don't worry, sir, I've set up a barrier at the alley entrance. There will be an alarm if anyone passes by... I know I can't control my voice, so I've already taken precautions..."

"Is this your reason for bringing me to this secluded alley to discuss serious matters?"

Aside from those few sentences, the conversation between the two mysterious men was essentially meaningless.

In summary, one of them was boasting about how hard he had worked to arrange everything, hoping that the other person, whom he called "the adult," would reward him.

The other one, referred to as "the adult," is responsible for complaining and withholding rewards... a typical old capitalist.

To be honest, Chloe found it quite amusing... though she started to get a little sleepy.

"That's settled then. After I claim the title of Hero tomorrow, I'll immediately proceed with the 'Phase Two' plan. Understand?"

"understand!"

"Let's go... This place is weirdly stuffy... Next time we'll talk business, let's choose a better place!"

After the two groups finished their conversation and left in different directions, Chloe emerged from behind the trash can.

Surprisingly, these two people didn't notice her at all from beginning to end, and she didn't know why she hadn't triggered the alleyway barrier... but she did hear some important information.

I have a feeling that if the members of the Order become heroes... it would be very bad.

From the various conversations between the two people, Chloe vaguely guessed that the summoning ritual for the hero had gone wrong, and it was very likely that the cult was behind it.

The goal is to have their people replace the hero...

As for why they did this, Chloe guessed... After all, having the identity of a hero is equivalent to having the right to declare war on the demon race among humans!

Is the cult's goal to start a war?

Although it's unclear what the people of this world are thinking, entrusting such important power to a summoned person from another world, that is indeed the setting.

Otherwise, the position of hero would be meaningless.

But what can she do?

"Oh, right, and the Dragon King too. He definitely won't stand idly by! I need to contact Lulum right away..."

As the sky darkened, Chloe suddenly remembered what she was supposed to do.

However, just as she was about to contact Stella through the soul contract, her left hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Wait, I remember there was a trash can on my left...

Just as Chloe was thinking this, the trash can to her left transformed into a person to her bewildered expression.

"You heard the conversation just now, didn't you?"

Chapter 130 Is this photo of you?

What's going on? Chloe was completely dumbfounded as the trash can next to her suddenly turned into a person right in front of her.

Then Chloe suddenly realized... This is another world, where would there be a trash can for "recyclable waste"?

No wonder she had a vague feeling that something was wrong when she was hiding, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

And why did she only realize it when the trash can turned back into a human?

Hmm—this trash can…could it be a prop from "Tracking 3"? Luckily she showed herself…otherwise I really wouldn't have noticed…

Chloe seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but gasp and stagger... well, she couldn't stagger because her hand was still being held.

That's right, the person who appeared was "she," a girl, and Chloe had seen this girl before... Isn't this the silver-haired loli she met in the tavern before?

She appeared beside me without me even noticing, and she clearly used a prop from another world, turning into a trash can... Could she also be a time traveler?

Chloe had serious doubts in her heart, but she didn't do anything else. She just pretended to be frightened and nodded blankly to the silver-haired loli beside her.

This was taken as a response to the question the silver-haired loli had asked her earlier.

As for why Chloe pretended to be terrified, it was because Chloe discovered that she couldn't break free from the silver-haired loli's slender little hand at all.

Furthermore, Chloe did not sense any fluctuation of battle aura or magic from the silver-haired loli beside her... but she could feel a faint holy light emanating from her.

But holy light cannot amplify power... In other words, this silver-haired loli's physical strength alone is already at the grandmaster level or above.

If she were to use magic or battle aura... her explosive damage would probably be at the King level.

In short... no match for them!

Chloe's feigned weakness is a sign that she's backed down.

Of course, if this silver-haired loli is really an enemy, Chloe isn't without ways to deal with her... Doesn't she consider who she was with before? Isn't it normal for her to have a few "fireworks" on her?

However, that would have meant mutual destruction, so Chloe chose to temporarily give up the fight.

The main reason Chloe chose to give up resistance was that she didn't sense any hostility from this silver-haired loli.

This silver-haired loli took the initiative to talk to me, so there shouldn't be any problem... right?

However, Chloe, who appeared to be at a disadvantage, still had a question for the silver-haired loli: "Um, do you know the natural number solutions to x^4+y^4+z^4=w^4?"

Silver-haired loli: "???"

After this simple question, Chloe was certain that the silver-haired loli was not a time traveler.

……

Regarding Chloe's question, the silver-haired loli said she didn't know what it meant, but she felt it was very impressive.

"But can you answer one question for me?"

Chloe saw the silver-haired loli smile and stroke her left hand with both of hers.

"What?" Chloe tilted her head in response, looking completely bewildered.

Unlike her bewildered expression, Chloe looked at the silver-haired loli stroking her left hand and couldn't help but think to herself, "This is the second person to grab my hand and rub it like that. Are my hands really that pretty? They're just a little loli's hands, aren't they? I have two!"

However, Chloe soon realized why the silver-haired girl was touching her left hand...

“It really is mistletoe… Is that you in the photo?” The silver-haired loli pulled out a “photo” and said to Chloe.

"Yes, it was me. I was very popular back then..."

Looking at the face in the photo, Chloe nodded.

The silver-haired loli continued with a smile, "So you're Lulum's daughter... named Chloe, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chloe completely relaxed.

So it turns out they're one of our own people?

Although Chloe had no recollection of having a "photograph" taken, Lulum had told her that someone had used magic to make a copy of her portrait.

So the person in front of her is probably the one sent by the Dragon King to pick her up, right?

Unexpectedly, the Dragon King didn't come to pick her up in person... and didn't even say anything beforehand, making Chloe think she had been stood up.

But here's the question: who is this silver-haired loli? Why would the Dragon King trust her to come pick me up? And why did she recognize "Mistletoe" after touching my hand a few times?

Is she a demon too? Or rather, a dragon? I don't recall the "Holy Dragon" having any companions among humans... Wait, she calls Lulum by her name directly, could she be the [Dragon King] herself? Probably not... right?

Just as Chloe was thinking this, the silver-haired loli's next words confirmed her guess.

"Hello, is this our first time meeting? Let me introduce myself. My name is Luluxin, and I am Lulum's older sister. You can call me by my name or 'Auntie'... Oh, by the way, when you're with humans, please try to call me 'Holy Dragon Lord', otherwise my identity will be easily exposed."

Is this the "Holy Dragon" I've seen before? How come it's so small? The last time we met, it was a giant of a man, 1.9 meters tall. How did it turn into a little girl who's less than 1.4 meters tall?

Oh, so I've gone from 1.8 meters tall to less than 1.3 meters? Never mind then...

……

Well, as expected, the "Holy Dragon Lord" I've seen before is wearing "height-increasing" armor, just like Lulum is now.

Chloe, who was taken to Lulu's residence, couldn't help but think of the "1.9-meter tall" figure she was familiar with after seeing him re-equipped in the "Paladin" armor.

Of course, Chloe is now also wearing a small-sized suit of armor, about 1.7 meters tall, thanks to Luluxin.

Lulu Xin told her that this was armor she had been polishing for over a hundred years. Because it was soaked in holy light, as long as she didn't take it off, even if a saintess came, she wouldn't be able to tell that she was a demon.

The armor is too big for Chloe, so please bear with it.

Of course, although the armor was large, because this magical armor could be driven by magic, Chloe wore it without any sense of incongruity and managed to sneak into the church without being noticed by the guards.

Immediately after Chloe arrived at Lulusin's residence, she also removed her armor.

After all, this consumes magic power, and Chloe dared not wear it for long... since her body is maintained by magic power.

And since this body doesn't feel any magic consumption at all, Chloe immediately checked her magic level after taking off the armor... Goodness, in just over ten minutes of walking, she had completely used up the magic stored from the 1145 cups of milk she drank that afternoon.

I need to figure out a way to replenish my mana...

Chapter 131 I'll Remember This Grudge

Does driving this armor consume so much magic?

Chloe looked at the remaining magic power on her panel and thought to herself.

You know, even when she projected a fragment of a god-level weapon using her saint-level domain, it didn't consume as much energy as using this armor for just one minute... Could this armor have already been turned into a divine artifact by the "holy dragon"?

With that in mind, Chloe had the armor appraised...
