Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 46

The golden sixth-level star badge shone brightly on the chest, the multi-angular stars made the entire pattern look more prosperous, and the diverging starlight also seems to indicate the infinite possibilities of every new demon hunter.

Ansel lowered his head to look at the badge, then raised his head again. The girl wearing the starry hair ornaments was smiling at him.

“Perhaps soon, your stars will look different.”

She spoke suggestively, as if hinting.

Newcomers with exceptional talent always get promoted quickly in the club. There are always some people who are born to hunt demons.

His Majesty the Demon King, who has high hopes for hunting demons: “…”

He now realised that he was wearing too many layers of vest, making him feel a bit hot.

An angel disguised himself as a demon and became a demon king, and then that demon king disguised himself as a human to become a glorious demon hunter… There are really too many layers in this vest!

With mixed emotions, His Majesty the Demon King and Yun Jian walked down from the second floor together. 

Joey had been waiting below for a long time. He recommended a very good restaurant, and this meal was Yun Jian’s treat.

Ansel thought while eating, ‘Next time I get paid the salary of the demon hunter, I can invite Saros to come and eat together. It is said that the salary of a demon hunter is also very high, otherwise Yun Jian wouldn’t have been able to treat them in such an expensive restaurant after paying for the maintenance of the convenience store’.

“Mission Salary? It’s really high. Even for basic tasks, a single payment will reach this number.”

Yun Jian gestured a number with his fingers, and Ansel, who had been working hard since he arrived in the human world, was shocked. What’s even more shocking to him was that Holy Sword Joey next to him also looked dumbfounded.

“Joey, haven’t you been in the club for a long time?” Ansel was puzzled, “Why don’t you know about the mission salary? Could it be that you…”

Joey nodded awkwardly.

“I don’t have the courage, I’ve never done any missions, and I also have a part-time job at a convenience store…”

Ansel: “…”

That’s just great, but you are the Holy Sword!

“Money has never been a problem for demon hunters.” Yun Jian continued, and then he slightly raised his eyes to look at Ansel, “By the way, all the evidence from the scene has been collected and archived, and it will be added to your resume. So if anyone questions your ability and achievements, just ignore it, the club will soon announce your hunting results.”

After a pause, Yun Jiang recalled.

“I remember that they sealed the baguette in a big bag and put a label on it. This kind of weapon that was used to kill demons usually enters the exhibition hall, and the exhibition fee will be paid to you separately…”

Label name——

【The bloody baguette!】

Ansel: “…”

No! ! !

“In addition, the corpses of high-level demons also belong to the demon hunter who killed them. Even if someone in the club offers a high price, you don’t have to rush to take action.” Yun Jiang suggested, “Because currently, the club only has six intact corpses of the high-level demons. The one in your hand is relatively intact and will definitely be bought by the club at a high price.”

Upon hearing this, Ansel’s heart was immediately moved.

Can dead mice really be sold for money?

Such a good thing!

He suddenly thought of the many monsters on Saros’ side that were about to die, and there were also many priest-level among them. If he could get through this path of wealth, it would really open up the situation.

He immediately took out his magic mirror phone and sent a message to Saros.

【Ansel: Do you want to make a fortune together with me?】

After sending the message, Ansel tilted his head slightly. Why did he feel that these words sounded a bit familiar… Oh! Last time, he borrowed the goose from Saros! Speaking of it, the big goose he borrowed has never been returned in a hurry, and it is still hidden in his shadow. At night, if he has nothing to do, he will pull it out to play with it, as if playing with a goose feather duster.

The living emblem of the Asmodeus family, the totem of the Western Region, Black Swan: “…”

Goose has endured too much!

After sending the message, he waited for a while, but didn’t receive a reply. By the time they parted ways after the dinner party, the reply that should’ve been timely still hadn’t arrived.

Ansel put the magic mirror phone into his pocket and bid farewell to Joey, his eyelashes lowered.

“The store will still be closed tomorrow, so take a good rest. After that, Mr. Yun will assign some tasks to you within your ability.”

As Joey spoke, he saw Ansel smiling and nodding. But for some reason, he felt that Ansel’s smile at this time was somewhat different from usual.

There was the sound of a dull thunder in the distant sky, and the wind began to blow, indicating that a heavy rainstorm was about to descend. Joey shrank his head because of the thunder, and when he saw Ansel looking at the rain clouds in the distance, he quickly urged.

“It’s going to rain, Ansel, you should go back quickly.”

“……Hmm.”

Joey was afraid of being caught in the heavy rain, so he covered his head with his arms and started running. However, after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look in Ansel’s direction.

——There was no one.

***

Almost as soon as he left Joey’s sight, Ansel let go of his speed. His eyes searched for the tallest building nearby, and found that the tallest building was the hotel where he was staying, so he quickly arrived at the hotel location.

There was no time to take the elevator or go back to the room, so Ansel directly took advantage of the Angel Fountain in front of the hotel and flew up to the roof.

From here, one can see the thunderstorms in the distant sky more clearly. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a precursor to the heavy rain, but Ansel wouldn’t simply think so. That thunderstorm was clearly a collision of long-range magic, but both sides of the confrontation were tacit and used celestial magic to cover it up.

Ansel quietly looked at the thundercloud for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the magic mirror phone.

…There is still no reply.

So his perception is correct. One of the parties using long-range magic to fight with someone should be Saros.

But this didn’t seem to be in line with Saros’s plan of keeping a low profile in the human world, that’s why Ansel was a little unsure at first. However, after carefully observing the thunderclouds from a high place, he can confirm that it is indeed Saros.

It’s strange that there is still someone in the human world who can compete with the Demon King?

The other party, although somewhat weak, doesn’t seem to be at a disadvantage. On the contrary, Ansel felt that Saros was fighting with some restraint, as if he was worried about something.

Ansel narrowed his sunset-colored pupils and took out the intact horn headband from the space item, sticking it on his head while muttering to himself.

What on earth is Saros doing? Why is he acting so timid…

Why is he letting people bully himself!

The power of the angel was transformed through the horns, showing the pure black texture of the demon magic. The long bow fell into his hand, and under the dim sky before the rain, Ansel slowly pulled back the bowstring. Dark lotus-like flames began to float leisurely, and the fire wrapped around the light arrow, then following the trajectory of those elements, Ansel locked onto the other side that was fighting against Saros.

Ansel didn’t hesitate at all.

He and Saros came to the human world together, just like grasshoppers on a rope, representing the interests of the demon world together. Although the two of them have taken different paths temporarily due to different ideas, facing such a powerful enemy, Ansel believed that he still had to lend a helping hand. That guy Saros is very thin-skinned, always pretending to be proud and refusing to ask for help until Ansel discovers it himself, it’s really…

You are really good at acting like a baby, huh.

In the next second, the light arrow left the string and flew away with its long flame tail!

***

When the arrow with the huge flame tail shot out, Saros felt a premonition in his heart, but it was already too late! The light arrow pierced directly through the headquarters of the Holy Court, probably also piercing through the high-status angel who descended upon the Holy Court.

Saros: “…”

He felt a bit pained for Ansel.

The whole thing started when Saros received the news of the angel’s arrival.

The three realms are isolated, and it was already a coincidence that he and Ansel could come to the human world. Angels from the Supreme Heaven really have no reason or motive to come to the human world. So when Saros heard the news of the angel’s arrival, his first reaction was that it was a trick of the monster.

There was a high possibility that it was a monster disguising itself as an angel to deceive humans, wanting to obtain resources and financial help.

He then mobilised his manpower to investigate, and at the same time unleashed the detection magic, hoping to explore the opponent’s situation first. As a result, the opponent’s reaction was extremely rapid. Confronted with the pure angelic power, Saros was certain that there was really an angel on the opposing side.

And looking at this power, it should be above the chief angel, or even…

One of the three consuls.

This situation was undoubtedly more troublesome for His Majesty the Demon King than facing a monster on the other side. Saros was naturally not afraid of the angels at consul level. He’s just…he’s just…

He was just worried about Ansel.

If it is really a consul from the Supreme Heaven, it would be Ansel’s immediate superior. It is very likely that Ansel was assigned by the other party to go to the demon world. In this case, Saros was really in a dilemma.

Sadly, he found that the first thing he thought of was not to make the situation awkward for Ansel. The second thing he thought about was whether Ansel would be taken back to heaven.

The angel on the opposite side had a tough personality, and after confirming Saros’ identity as a demon, that angel pursued him fiercely. Both of them used long-range magic to fight in the air, and even without leaving their respective location, the battle was very fierce. Although Saros has the ability to seriously injure the opponent directly, he always hesitated.

No, he can’t delay it for too long, otherwise Ansel will find out…

However, it was still discovered!

Ansel chose to help him without hesitation. This move made Saros feel soft in his heart, but soon, he felt a headache, thinking about how Ansel will face his immediate superior.

That arrow came from outside and didn’t spare any effort, so the consul angel must’ve been caught off-guard.

…Won’t the opponent be stabbed to death?

Thinking of this, Saros held his head with one hand, wondering how this matter would end now. At this moment, the magic mirror vibrated again, and he slowly picked it up. Ansel’s voice rang out, which could even be described as cheerful.

“How was the arrow I just shot?”

Saros: “…”

Even very proud! 

He has no idea who he stabbed!

“If you want to thank me, wait until we meet. I’ll come find you.” Ansel continued smoothly without waiting for the reply, “Send me your current location.”

His Majesty the Demon King sighed deeply and sent the location. Then, he stared at the message Ansel had sent about making a fortune. If he remembered correctly, Ansel hadn’t returned the goose he borrowed before.

Sometimes, it is really difficult for Saros to understand Ansel as an angel.

This angel spends all day either fighting or trying to make a fortune.

Now he has even beaten up his immediate superior.

Saros: “…”

But damn it! Why does he still think that Ansel is very cute!

***

Deep within the Holy Court, everything passed like a hurricane. Anthony held the cane tightly and sat in the ruins, almost in a daze. Next to him, the old man in a white robe had just coughed up a mouthful of blood. Regardless of his injured body, he desperately tried to get closer to the high platform.

“Your Excellency! Your Excellency! You…!”

Anthony blankly stared at the fragments of stained glass on the ground. The arrow just now was shot from afar and pierced through the colourful feather corridor, and among the colourful feather fragments that finally gained freedom, it pierced the angel on the high seat!

The angel seemed to have noticed in advance, but was unable to do anything to avoid it. He was just swept away, directly being nailed to the mural behind by the light arrow.

The white feathers drooped down, and large blood stains began to spread on the white feathers, slowly dripping down.

The anxious calls of the old man in white robe only made Shalia, who was in great pain at this moment, feel humiliated. He hadn’t suffered such a serious injury in many years. The light arrow directly pierced one of his wings and nailed his entire body to the mural behind him, making him almost unable to move.

Shalia never thought that he would get injured in the human world. If it weren’t for the layered protective magic that caused this arrow to deviate slightly from its trajectory, he might really…

This arrow will directly pierce his chest.

After a few deep breaths, whether it was the agitated white-robed old man or the stunned warrior, Shalia swept the irrelevant people out of the hall, then slowly reached out and grasped the arrow that pierced through his wings.

The dark red flame on the arrow burned fiercely, sweeping across his entire palm. Amidst the intense burning pain, Shalia didn’t stop, and he heard the sound of his teeth clenching.

Finally, he forcefully pulled the entire arrow out of his wings, causing the blood to flow down in an instant.

Pain……

Humiliation……

And that momentary fear that he himself refused to admit.

Facing the arrow directly, he seemed to see the other party’s eyes— with a hint of carelessness, but blazing with fighting spirit, like a sharp blade.

The angel’s hand clenched the light arrow, speaking every word, almost gnashing his teeth.

“……I will keep this account.”

“Demon King!”
