Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 55
After the top management determined the strategy, the Demon Hunter Club quickly issued a mission notice, formed a team, and set off collectively.
Ansel looked at his and Joey’s names on the list, as well as the prominent “sixth-class star” note at the back, feeling that they simply stood out from the crowd. No demon hunter was more prominent than them.
There is no one on the list who is worse than them!
“Speaking of which, Joey, how are we going to get there?” Ansel asked, as he had never participated in such a group activity.
Joey was obviously much more experienced.
“We would probably take a bus there and disperse when approaching the town to avoid being too obvious.”
Bus…
Ansel quickly thought of the videos he had watched in the past few days. A group of human cubs wearing little yellow hats and carrying small school bags climbed onto the bus, while the teacher watched tenderly.
Got it! It’s like a picnic!
They set off the next day, and that night, Ansel used his employee discount card to buy the things he wanted to bring with him at the convenience store. As he packed his things in the hotel room, the black swan silently watched Ansel stuffing things into his backpack and let out a very humane sigh.
He understood that Ansel not only lacked the skills to take care of his hair, but he lacked the skills to take care of everything.
Seeing that Ansel even planned to bend a tin so that it could fit into the the already full bag, the black swan used its wings to gently press on Ansel’s hand!
Are you not afraid of leakage?
Ansel moved aside and sat in a chair, tilting his head to watch the Black Swan tidy up the things in an orderly manner. After watching for a while, he suddenly laughed. The Black Swan immediately looked up at him, but Ansel just smiled and waved his hand.
“It’s nothing, I just feel a little magical, the goose is helping me pack my luggage.”
The Black Swan looked at him speechlessly.
Can I leave you alone to sort it out by yourself? The backpack is going to explode!
“Also, you can actually participate in such a group activity here…” Ansel leaned back into the armchair with velvet cushions, saying in a very soft voice, “It’s not quite the same as the situation in the demon world. In the demon world, you will travel with a driver, but here you will go together with your colleagues or comrades.”
“I rarely participate in such events.”
He repeated it again.
“So it was a pleasant surprise.”
The Demon King in the Black Swan’s body tilted his head slightly, feeling a bit strange. Compared to demons, who have unique personalities and a tendency to live in isolation, angels, as recorded in the classics, undoubtedly prefer collective events. They have a strong sense of honour and a common goal. They often stick together and even form a battle formation when attacking the enemy… Shouldn’t this kind of outing be held in the Supreme Heaven seventy or eighty times a year?
But he suddenly discovered that Ansel’s expression at this time was not only filled with emotion, but his eyelashes were also slightly drooped, looking very desolate.
…Weren’t there any angels to play with Ansel?
Why?
Ansel is so good.
The Black Swan closed the backpack with the zipper in his mouth, and the things inside were neatly arranged so that even those with obsessive-compulsive disorder would praise it. He trotted up to the side of Ansel’s chair, spread his wings, and landed lightly on Ansel’s lap before lying down.
Surrounded by such a warm and big bird, Ansel smiled and hugged the swan in his arms.
“I’m fine, no need to comfort me.”
The swan stubbornly refused to go down, even spreading its wings to hug him.
His Majesty the Demon King in the swan’s body thought, since those angels seemed to be blind and there was no one to play with Ansel in the Supreme Heaven, isn’t it just right for Ansel to stay in the Demon Realm?
He can play with Ansel at any time.
While thinking this in his heart, the Black Swan jumped off Ansel’s lap, ran to the corner, and came back with something in his mouth. Ansel took a closer look and found that it was a colorful plastic circle. The Black Swan’s eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life, but also showing a bit of indulgence as he silently placed the hoop on Ansel’s lap, showing a heroic expression of sacrifice.
Come on! Let’s play with the hoops!
Let’s go!
Ansel was completely amused this time, and his previously depressed mood was swept away. He picked up the colorful plastic ring that looked cheap and felt that it didn’t match the noble and elegant black swan, so he took out a sufficiently noble ring from his special space ring.
His apertures! There’s a lot of them!
Black Swan:”……”
The familiar feeling of heart attack came again.
By the way…
How many such apertures are there in Ansel’s space ring?

The Demon Hunter Club chose a low-key bus to leave early in the morning. After Yun Jian checked the list to make sure that everyone was present, he boarded the bus and sat in the front seat of the bus.
The interior of the bus was very quiet. The demon hunters participating in this mission were all experienced veterans who had read the battle report, making the atmosphere very heavy. But amidst this heavy atmosphere full of serious veteran demon hunters, there are two rookies with very different styles.
And a goose.
As soon as Ansel got on the bus, he put the big goose on the seat next to him, and Joey sat in the front row, both of them looking around.
Joey wanted to see where Yun Jian was sitting, in case anything happened, he would take Ansel and stick together with Yun Jian to ensure their safety. While Ansel was looking at the scenery outside the window. Small mountains and trees passed by, the bus was protected from wind and rain, and it could accommodate dozens of people at a time, which was really nice.
Needless to say, it’s actually better than an electric bike. The demon world should also develop it.
The two of them were too active, and Yun Jian accidentally turned his head in front, feeling that these two are like two overly active beans. He sighed slightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, because under the leadership of these two unusual beans, the atmosphere inside the bus became a bit lively.
Atmosphere of a picnic √
“Hey, what weapons did you bring this time?” A demon hunter asked his companion next to him. The companion pretended to be mysterious and only replied reluctantly after the other party asked him several times.
“I didn’t bring much with me. The mission is difficult this time, so I just packed some things to be as ready as possible.”
He slowly opened his backpack, revealing the sword, gun, and halberd inside. The demon hunter who asked the question suddenly looked amazed.
“There are a lot of cold weapons… That’s right, you are good at cold weapons.” Then, he opened his own backpack lightly, pretending to be casual, but in fact he was showing off, “Mine are different…”
Inside the backpack are various firearms and bullets, shining brightly and looking incredibly powerful.
The first demon hunter to show off let out a “tsk”, feeling as if he was being outdone, and he unhappily pulled up his backpack. Suddenly, someone from behind tapped his backrest, and the third demon hunter came over and slowly displayed the contents of his bag.
“I especially made a deal with the witches and got some potions and other gadgets…”
Wow, this is a real wealthy family. Witches are usually proficient in potions and alchemy, and their products are very valuable. This backpack is not cheap.
Suddenly, a heavy cold snort sounded from behind, and the weapon master stood up. As a third-class star, he is also on the support list this time. Ignoring the fact that the vehicle was moving, he approached the three demon hunters who were showing off to each other and suddenly pulled open his coat. The eyes of the three demon hunters suddenly widened, unable to compare, and they succumbed to defeat.
Joey, who watched all this from start to finish: “…”
This action of pulling open the coat really looks like something only a perverted exhibitionist would do!
“Perverted Exhibitionist” subdued the three demon hunters and showed a satisfied smile. Then, his gaze instantly turned towards Ansel and Joey’s side.
Joey: “…”
Don’t come over here!
Ansel was playing a game with the black swan, and the other was letting him win every time. Suddenly, he felt a shadow falling upon him and slowly raised his head, feeling a bit puzzled. On the other hand, Joey was winking at him frantically in the front.
Ansel: “…?”
What? Do you want to fight?
“What did you bring, Ansel?” The weapon master narrowed his eyes, “Don’t try to lie or fool people. I saw it when you got on the bus. You brought a big backpack.”
Ansel instantly understood.
“I did bring something, how about we exchange it?”
He spoke while lifting the backpack on the ground and unzipping it. The weapon master was afraid of missing it, so he looked carefully and saw that Ansel’s backpack was full of——
Potato chips, jelly, spicy fries, hawthorn rolls, and bottles of milk.
Ansel said excitedly.
“What did you bring? We can exchange it!”
Weapon Master:”……”
Other demon hunters: “…”
Joey: “…”
Joey slowly turned around and covered his face with both hands, feeling a bit painful. He has already known about it since last night when Ansel started using his employee card to make purchases at the convenience store. It’s not that he didn’t try to persuade him, but Ansel obviously doesn’t think like a normal person!
【Not bringing food?】
Ansel asked in shock.
【How can you not bring food? Oh, I understand, what you mean is that there will be convenience stores to buy things where we are going…but we will also get hungry on the way, right?】
The focus has completely shifted! They are going to a terrifying town that is almost occupied by demons! How can Ansel still think of eating?
Joey was suffocating, but Ansel thought it was normal. Saros, who helped him pack, also thought it was normal.
For the Demon King, is there any dangerous place in this world?
With the spirit of making friends, Ansel enthusiastically shared his snacks. Almost every demon hunter got one, and their expression became indescribable. Only Yun Jian’s expression was relatively normal. He took the initiative to take a packet of jelly and opened it on the spot.
There is still a long way to go.
Let’s have a snack.
After Ansel finished distributing the snacks, the entire bus was filled with the smell of spicy fries and potato chips. He appeared calm on the surface, but felt a bit excited inside. He repeatedly rubbed the goose’s feathers with his hands, almost turning the whole goose into a feather duster.
“Don’t you think this looks like sharing snacks with friends?” Ansel whispered, his eyes sparkling, “It’s great to come out together!”
The Black Swan let Ansel stroke itself and closed its eyes.
Thinking of the sloppy steps and hunched backs of those demon hunters while they were getting snacks, the black swan thought it was good to be friends with Ansel, but it seems that one had to be prepared to age ten years older at any time.
But some people seem to be able to adapt to it quite well.
Halfway through the bus, Yun Jian walked over from the front and came to Ansel’s seat. Seeing that the other party wanted to talk, Ansel hugged the goose next to him onto his lap and gave the outside position to Yun Jian.
“We’re almost there. There are some things I want to reveal to you in advance.” The second-class demon hunter said, “Regarding the reason why the last mission in this small town failed.”
Ansel listened attentively, but the more he listened, the more wrong his expression became. After a while, he repeated it.
“…Organization that summons demons?”
“Yes. That means that there are not only demon nests in this town, but also an organization that can summon demons. I don’t know if this organization is related to the formation of the demon nests in this town.” Yun Jian said, “It was this organization that suddenly attacked our companions at the critical moment, causing the mission to fail.”
Ansel’s expression was a bit complicated, and the expression of the black swan next to him was also a bit dull
How come it’s related to demon summoning again!
“However, I checked privately and found that this organization is not the same as the Secret Council, but it’s somewhat difficult to deal with.” Yun Jian pondered, “The leader of this organization once made bold claims that they would compete with the Secret Council when it comes to summoning demons.”
Ansel: “…”
Black Swan: “……”
The two Demon Kings fell into a temporary silence, and Ansel thought more.
Competing with the Secret Council in the matter of summoning demons? Although it sounds a bit hasty and provocative, the Secret Council summoned Saros, one of the three Demon Kings!
Demon King Levi only knows how to mess things up, if you really want to compete …
Ansel remained silent.
Doesn’t it mean that he must be summoned? !
The author has something to say:
Ansel: Just to tell you a joke, the enemy is trying to summon me to fight against Saros.
Levi: Hahahaha!
Ansel: And you are not even qualified.
Levi:? ? ?
