Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 42

As soon as the door was locked, the entire convenience store suddenly became quieter. An eerie and silent atmosphere spread throughout the dark air, with a monster hanging from the ceiling, covered in iron, overlooking the white-haired clerk below.

Light has a certain degree of restraint on their kind, so monsters hate the white hair that symbolizes light.

The monster stretched out its sharp claws downwards without using too much force. It just wanted to make this white-haired human bleed, suffer, and panic!

With a “jingle” sound, the bunch of keys fell to the ground, and Ansel bent down to pick up the keys. As a result, that swift claw only ended up grabbing the empty air.

The monster let out a low roar in dissatisfaction as it fell from the ceiling and jumped to the nearby shelf. The human’s position was being shrouded by the shadows of the shelves. 

Before Ansel could even stand up, the monster shook the shelf violently, attempting to make the shelf fall down and suppress this annoying human!

Shake—–

Not moving…

Shake—–

Not moving…

Monster: “……”

Almost in a rage, it jumped directly to the other side of the shelf and forcefully pushed the heavy shelf——

Still not moving.

Monster: “……”

On the other side of the shelf, Ansel’s face remained expressionless as he supported the shelf with one hand and kept the other hand in his pocket. The darkness had no effect on his vision, and the various actions of the monster fell into the eyes of the demon king, as if looking at a clown.

It’s so boring.

The pushing force disappeared, and the monster walked around from the other side of the shelf to see why it couldn’t move. When it had just arrived on this side of the shelf, Ansel had already leisurely strolled to the other side, stretching out a finger towards the shelf.

“Boom—!!!”

“Hiss, hiss—”

One of the monster’s legs was crushed and it screamed in pain.

It struggled to get up, feeling confused and uncertain in his heart. The priest-level monster in the human world still has a certain intelligence, and it began to think carefully, suspecting that the human in front of it was deliberately playing tricks on it. 

However, Ansel’s next move dispelled the monster’s doubts, and it saw the human groping around for something after arriving at the counter in the dark.

“Flashlight…flashlight…”

The monster barely understood the word, recognizing it as a human lighting device that cast a faint beam of light to illuminate the darkness. Upon hearing this, the monster immediately let go of its doubts and felt that everything was fine!

Hehe, a little light will only foster more fear…

With a “thud”, Ansel put something heavy on the checkout counter.

“Okay, this way I can see clearly for a while.” He said to himself, feeling a little regretful at the same time. He had forgotten about this flashlight just now. If he had taken it out at that time, Joey might not have been so afraid.

That “thud” sound didn’t sound like taking out a lightweight flashlight at all. Just when the monster felt that something was wrong, it saw the human press the switch of the flashlight——

All of a sudden, bright light burst out from every gap of the tightly closed convenience store! These rays of light are enough to show how bright it is inside!

That was not an ordinary flashlight, it was a random product that Ansel bought with the money he earned from setting up a stall before— a giant portable flashlight, as heavy as an electric car battery, with forty-eight bright white lamp beads!

At the moment the light burst out, Ansel felt his eyes twitch, and the monster facing the light suddenly let out a scream, as if looking directly at the sun!

This human! This human is anything but simple!

At the critical moment, the monster fled to the rear. At first, it was completely blind, and after about half a minute, it slowly recovered, feeling unparalleled anger. This white-haired human is obviously aware of its existence, but he uses various tricks with low-killing power to play with it, making the monster feel unbearable!

The monster breathed heavily and was almost about to kill the human using its own body, but stopped in time. 

The priest-level monster thought of the arrangement it had left near the electric switch, and temporarily restrained itself.

The bright lights were approaching, and the human slowly arrived at the back of the convenience store holding a giant flashlight with forty-eight lamp beads. 

Because sometimes there may be tripping due to excessive electrical load, the main switch was located in the warehouse. In this case, you can turn on the lights again by simply pushing the main switch… if the wires are not cut off.

The monster disappeared into the wall, gasping heavily. The high-voltage power has already been connected to the electric switch, and anyone who touches it will die on the spot. The monster waited eagerly to admire the tragic death of the white-haired human, and it saw the human raise his hand——

Push it !

——Didn’t push it yet!

Monster: “……”

It’s going crazy, ahhh!

Watching this human cautiously put on a pair of insulated gloves and push the main switch, all the arrangements failed. The human was not tortured crazy by it, but rather the monster itself was going crazy! It rushed out in a frenzy, not wanting to play with its prey anymore, or wanting to evoke the deepest fear of a human… The monster only knew that if it didn’t come out now, this human would definitely leave a shadow on itself!

How could there be such an annoying human? Ahhh ! ! !

As it pounced on the human, something came first and hit it heavily on its iron surface. The force was so great that it even caused the monster to fly backwards and smash through a wall. It landed in the corridor, writhing back and forth, emitting a mournful roar.

“…You still have the nerve to be angry?”

The human’s cold voice sounded, and he walked towards the monster. The monster’s first reaction was to escape, and it felt a long-lost fear. However, before it could turn over, the human had already stepped on its belly, and with just one foot, the monster couldn’t move.

“Hiss——”

The monster roared and scratched the ground with its sharp claws. This was the outcome it had originally envisioned for the human, but now the roles are reversed.

Ansel’s expression was gloomy, and his forehead hair fell down, covering his eyes.  He hadn’t been so angry for a long time. Originally, he thought breaking the power switch was almost enough, but he never expected that this monster would really dare to cut the wires!

Will the ice cream in the refrigerator melt?  ?  ?

Just now, it was a folding stool Ansel casually touched that hit the monster. Now, he picked up the folding stool again and knocked it heavily on the monster!

“Cut the wires, cut the wires, cut the wires! Who gave you the courage to cut the wires!”

“Are you pretending to be a ghost to scare people? In your dreams!”

With a ‘click’ sound, the folding stool was finally laid off with honor, unable to withstand the power of the demon king.

Ansel casually threw away the folding stool, his anger still not subsided. His gaze wandered around before finally stopping on the box of the expired baguettes that he placed on the shelf previously.

A few minutes later.

Using alchemy to restore the folding stool casually, Ansel slowly sat on the stool and looked at the monster’s corpse, falling into silence.

Ansel: “…”

It’s over.

Beaten to death.

Why is he so heavy-handed! A rare priest-level monster was accidentally beaten to death!

The light of the giant flashlight went out, and sitting on the small round stool, His Majesty the Demon King’s white hair became limp with frustration. 

Ansel sat in despair, allowing himself to temporarily immerse in his sadness.

Live mouse caught for Saros= -1

Wuwu wuwu….

Outside the convenience store, Joey ran as fast as he could. He didn’t run very far when he met Yun Jian who came to provide support after receiving a call from the club. Seeing this respected and powerful second-class demon hunter, Joey’s mood calmed down a little, but then he tightened his grip even more.

“Mr. Yun! It’s in the store!” He tried to explain the situation as concisely as possible, but his expression looked as if he was about to cry. “Ansel is still in there. He took me…he took me…”

Yun Jian didn’t speak, but just nodded slightly to express understanding, with a solemn expression on his handsome face. He has never questioned the noble qualities possessed by humans, which are often highlighted in desperate situations. Villains betray each other and sages help each other. He has seen all kinds of people and things.

Today, it belongs to the latter.

Yun Jian felt a sense of anxious pride about this.

They quickly rushed back to the convenience store. All the rolling shutter doors had already fallen down, and the convenience store was completely sealed off as an isolated island. 

This was undoubtedly a common method used by the high-level demons to play with their prey. The demon’s blockade will be very strong, and ordinary demon hunters won’t be able to break it, but Yun Jian is a second-class star after all.

The silver spear emerged from the space object and was held in one hand, with the tip pointed diagonally towards the ground. The young man stood still, his dark eyes gradually pulsating with tiny stars, so did his spear!

The stream of air flow pulled away from the spear tip flickered with shattered stars, like soft satin, floating backwards. Time was tight, facing an unbreakable upper level demon blockade, Yun Jian directly used his martial arts skills. The warrior’s breath sank, and he narrowed his eyes and suddenly broke in!

The rolling shutter door was instantly torn apart, along with all the glass display windows that shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the impact of the previous shot. 

Without hesitation, Yun Jian stepped into the already messy room and his gaze wandered around before stopping on a certain spot, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Joey also walked in with difficulty, and following Yun Jian’s gaze, he also saw the reflective liquid flowing under the shelves.

“! ! !”

Is it blood? Then Ansel…!

Just when Joey was crying and about to push the shelves, Yun Jiang shook his head slightly. The phantom of the night bird spread its wings on one of his eyes, and he used the Two Light Wheel Magic【Eye of the Night Bird】.

“It’s not human blood.”

Joey was a bit confused. It wasn’t human blood, which means it’s not Ansel’s blood. Could it be…

Yun Jian carried the spear and continued to walk deeper. Finally, they stepped through the corridor that was littered with rubble and found Ansel in the warehouse.

As if he hadn’t woken up from the nightmare, Ansel sat on a small round stool, his eyes straight, staring blankly at the corpse of the demon in front of him.

At this moment, a faint blue moonlight poured in from the only window high up in the warehouse, and the air was filled with fine dust. A human sat amidst this floating dust, and his white hair refracted the light, carrying a sense of holiness and obscurity. Among all the cold colors, only his pupils are of the sunset color.

Something was diagonally stuck in the demon’s corpse, like a holy sword.

That’s one hell of a—

Baguette.
