Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 57

“…There are no plans to recruit people for the time being.” At this moment, Simon’s smile became very forced. He realised that Ansel’s thinking may be different from ordinary people. It would be useless to continue talking, and he should just stop here today.

However, Ansel was reluctant to let go of this chance and became suspicious.

“You’re not saying this to me because you’re afraid of being laid off, right?”

Simon: “…Hahaha, that’s not it.”

He obviously wants to escape from this strange conversation.

“It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you. If you need to consult about any demon-related issues…” His tone was somewhat profound and meaningful.

“Feel free to come find me.”

“Whether it’s about demonic behaviour or summoning rituals, I know a thing or two.”

After speaking, Simon left. The last few words were supposed to be profound and thought-provoking, but unfortunately, the person he was talking to was a true Demon King. 

Ansel looked at his back speechlessly.

Know a thing or two?

Then he also knows a little bit— about ninety things!

Although Ansel was indeed eager to change his job, most of Ansel’s behavior just now was of course a pretense. He probably understood a little bit of what Simon meant. As a knowledgeable professor who had mastered the knowledge on demons, this person has stayed in this town for a long time and understands the current situation. Any demon hunter would like to get first-hand information from him, and it would be best to have some suggestions to make some achievements.

However, the temptation to make achievements is not worth mentioning to Ansel, as he isn’t here for that in the first place.

Let’s take a look at tomorrow’s action plan of the Demon Hunter Club. There are a lot of monsters in this town, and it will take a lot of time for Ansel to clean them up by himself. However, with so many well-trained demon hunters around, it’s not a problem.

On the other hand, Ansel will also have to pay attention to the safety of the demon hunters, which are the local forces that will clean up monsters.

His Majesty the Demon King returned to his room to sleep, and after he lay down, a goose head suddenly appeared in the shadow at the foot of the bed.

Another incarnation of His Majesty the Demon King….. is dispatched!

The more the goose thought about it, the more furious it became. Who is that human? How dare he take secret glances at Ansel? Is he treating him like a dead goose? !

His Majesty the Demon King in the body of the black swan was extremely furious. 

At this moment, he didn’t even notice that he was assimilated into the body of the goose. The head and half of the long neck moved back and forth in the shadows, along with the sound of the angry footsteps stomping on the ground. In the end, His Majesty the Demon King found that he couldn’t swallow this breath, and insisted on teaching that human a lesson!

The black swan reluctantly glanced at Ansel’s sleeping face, pulled the quilt for him with its dark red beak, and then followed the shadow, preparing to put a sack on someone.

He also brought a group of goose brothers with him.  

Let’s give someone a beating!

…..

Simon now lives in this hotel and works together with the demon hunters. He and Edward are college alumni, just a few years apart. Despite having such a strong relationship, he still spent a lot of effort to gain Edward’s trust. The investment and losses involved are truly painful if you think about it.

Fortunately, with his extensive knowledge on demons and precise predictions of demonic behaviour, Simon has secured his position as a temporary consultant.

He originally thought that as long as he could keep most of these demon hunters, it would be a good harvest, but he didn’t expect to get an unexpected surprise! Among the group of demon hunters who came to provide support, the white-haired demon hunter with sunset-colored pupils simply captured Simon’s heart and soul! He was truly grateful to God for sending him the most suitable candidate at such a suitable time…

Sacrifice.

The light in the room was dim, reflecting Simon’s somewhat gloomy face. He opened the short wardrobe, leaned in, and pressed it lightly. One side of the wall flipped over, revealing a long and narrow secret passage that could accommodate only one person at a time. Simon picked up a lamp and slowly walked down the stairs. In the empty field at the end, several men in black robes were already waiting respectfully.

However, Simon didn’t know that not only the men in black robes were waiting, but a group of goose brothers were also there.

The black swan quickly discovered the secret room. He sneaked through the shadows and when he felt that the location was somewhat right, he stuck his head out.

The goose came out of the water!

Simon is talking to his subordinates, and this hotel is actually his property. The secret passages in this hotel extend in all directions and are mostly used to capture sacrifices.

“Whether that white hair is natural or dyed, there is no one else who is more suitable.” Simon said, his voice no longer carrying the pretence of scholarly gentleness, but full of cruelty, “He perfectly matches the description of a sacrifice as stated in the classics.”

“——The Demon King loves white-haired sacrifices.”

The Demon King in the shadow: “…”

No! Wait! Which classics did you refer to?

Could it be “Eastern Entertainment News”? !

Don’t tell me, this is a misunderstanding. If the three realms are still connected, perhaps it can really be summoned. After all, if Ansel is placed in the summoning circle as a sacrifice, Saros cannot guarantee that he can resist this temptation.

The men in black robes looked very convinced, and one of them asked respectfully.

“So, Lord Simon, when will we take action?”

“The timing is not good right now, the two second-class stars are both in full condition.” Simon pondered, “Wait until they get injured in the fight with the demons here, and then I will take action. Even the second-class stars won’t be able to stop me.”

Simon was aware of the existence of local demons, but that was not what he wanted. Firstly, he felt that those demons were very low-level, and secondly, these demons couldn’t compare with the summoned demon of the Secret Council. He needed more powerful demons to fight against the Secret Council.

“If we can really summon the Demon King, no one will be stronger than us, and the same goes for the Secret Council!”

Looking at the confident Simon, the black swan in the shadow was simply speechless.

Although most of it was nonsense, the Secret Council did summon him, the Demon King who had been in power for more than a thousand years. If this small demon summoning organisation really succeeds— Levi is so useless, the only option is to summon Ansel.

…But can the demon summoning array really summon angels? This is a dead end!

His Majesty the Demon King couldn’t bear it any longer and simply took action. The Seven Light Wheel Magic [Dark Shroud] spread, directly submerging Simon and several other black-robed men.

This magic is one of the commonly used spells by demons, jokingly referred to as “burlap” in the demon world, because the main effect of this magic is to completely deprive the other party of all perception for a period of time, whether it is visual, auditory, or tactile. The human body was unable to withstand the power of this magic, and Simon fell into a coma. 

A group of swans then rubbed their hands, and under the command of the leading black swan, rushed forward!

Taking secret glances, right? Beat him up!

His Majesty the Demon King snorted coldly in his heart, admitting that he was very petty in this regard.

Of course, he also controlled this beating well and just broke two legs. Simon might still be useful. After the fight, he used the Eight-Light Wheel Magic [Memory Distortion], and the group of goose brothers jumped into the shadows, retreating one by one.

When Simon regained consciousness again, he was lying in the cold underground chamber, with the black-robed subordinates surrounding him in panic.

Simon: “……”

What happened to him?

One of the black-robed subordinates suddenly let out a mournful cry.

“My lord, you were walking down the stairs and missed a step, causing your leg to break into a comminuted fracture!”

Simon: “……”

Is it so easy to have a comminuted fracture? He just fell!

He immediately struggled to stand up, but there was excruciating pain in both of his legs and he couldn’t get up at all. A bad premonition suddenly came to his mind.

It can’t be… both legs…

The black-robed subordinates were even more sad.

“My Lord, don’t move easily! Both of your legs are broken!”

Simon: “……”

He was struggling with how to explain it to the demon hunters, but he didn’t know that if it weren’t for the fact that the Demon king didn’t want to delay too much, Simon wouldn’t have been in a wheelchair. His Majesty could turn him into a vegetable directly.

After putting the sack on Simon, Black Swan led the team to sneak back. He emerged from the shadows in Ansel’s room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ansel was still sleeping in the same position. But before he could finish breathing, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the bed.

“…Where have you been fooling around?”

The angel turned over to look at him, his white hair spread out, and he covered his mouth and yawned. A slender and beautiful hand reached out from the edge of the bed and waved towards the black swan.

“Come here.”

The Black Swan approached nervously and was rubbed on the head, then Ansel patted the place next to him.

“Stop running around and go to sleep.”

Black Swan:”……!”

Oh my god! There’s also an unexpected gain!

He immediately wiped his feet, jumped on the bed, and snuggled up with Ansel, resting his head on the pure white hair. Ansel touched the goose and saw that it came back safely. He no longer had to worry and soon fell asleep.

In the darkness, the black swan’s dark blue eyes stared at Ansel’s face without blinking, and after a while, he poked his head into the white hair.

No wonder those people foolishly want to capture Ansel as a sacrifice.

He’s so good-looking.

***

The next day, Ansel got up on time and received the task arrangement. He stared at the thin piece of paper, read it many times, and slowly raised his head.

“Is this the final arrangement?”

It’s not that he questions this arrangement. In terms of combat power ratio, this is an excellent arrangement. The elite troops will go deep into the underground area to explore, while the remaining demon hunters will stay on the ground to clean up the ordinary demons hidden in various parts of the town. While guarding against the demon summoning organisation, they will close the encirclement towards the entrance of the underground facility….. An excellent and comprehensive strategy.

However, there is one issue.

Yun Jian didn’t think that Ansel would raise any doubts, so he nodded slightly and said.

“Yes, this is the final arrangement.”

Ansel: “…”

What he actually asked was not this, but…

Do you really not want to bring him together when exploring the underground facility?!

It would be dangerous not to take him with you! Really! He is not lying!

General-level monsters are huge and powerful, and even second-level stars would find it difficult to resist them, not to mention the numerous other high-level monsters. Ansel’s original idea was that if he could explore the underground facility, he would first find general-level monsters and kill them to reduce the damage to the demon hunters. But now, he was assigned to the ground team, responsible for the clean-up work in the town.

“I know what you want to say, Ansel. You want to fight, right?” Yun Jian said, “But this mission is very dangerous. Since I brought you here despite Miss Sylvia’s objection, I will definitely take you back safely.”

The underground is the lair of monsters, and it is too dangerous for Yun Jian to be distracted and take care of Ansel.

“But……”

Ansel tried his best to convince him, but Yun Jian raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently. His eyelashes drooped to hide his dark pupils, and there was something called “faith” shining in his eyes.

“Ansel, most of the time, humans are weak.”

He spoke calmly, claiming to be weak but not looking depressed.

“However, humans also have resilience. The precious flame, as long as it is passed down, will never be extinguished.”

Ansel understood what he meant, and his sunset-coloured pupils quietly stared at Yun Jian. 

Then, he heard Yun Jian whisper.

“If we can’t come back, you will lead the team back. I know you can do it.”

“This task is entrusted to you.”

Faith never dies, the fire continues to burn, new leaves cover old leaves, new blood replaces old blood…

This is mankind’s way of fighting against huge disasters.

He patted Ansel’s shoulder again, as if smiling, and his graceful turn didn’t seem like he was rushing to his death. Ansel looked at his back, and suddenly, he called out to the demon hunter.

Yun Jian saw him smiling at himself and saying his pre-war blessing.

“Mr. Yun.”

“May the angels bless you.”

This is indeed an auspicious saying for humans. Yun Jian also relaxed his brows and turned his back to Ansel. He calmly waved his hand as a farewell.

Ansel just stood there and watched, but at this moment, the black swan poked its head out of the shadow.

…He felt it.

The power of angels.

The Black Swan turned its head and looked at Ansel who was standing in place. This was the first time he felt Ansel using the power of angels. It was a kind of protective magic with a rank no lower than the Eleventh Light Wheel Magic.

Among the angels, the War Angel fights, the Healing Angel heals, and the Power Angel protects.

So……

Is Ansel a power angel?

The author has something to say:

Saros: It turns out Ansel is a Power Angel! Let him give me love buffs from now on! I will fight to protect him! (Goose shy.jpg)

Later……

Saros:…

Why can this angel fight, heal, and even add buffs!
