Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 61
“…Actually, what am I?” Ansel didn’t hear the second half of Sylvia’s sentence. It wasn’t that he had a hearing problem, but because Sylvia deliberately hid the second half.
Faced with his questioning, Sylvia didn’t continue, but said with a smile.
“Then, Ansel, I will temporarily hand over the command of the demon hunters in this town to the weapon master who is a third-class star. This will give me more confidence when facing the people of the Holy Court. However, I have already informed the weapon master in advance to listen to your opinions as much as possible.”
The affairs of a warrior shouldn’t be publicized.
Sylvia thought in her heart.
After all, all the brave warriors in the past were born in the Holy Court. Or to put it another way, the Holy Court will gather the warriors into the organisation in advance for cultivation, but now there is a special case like Ansel.
—— A brave warrior who belongs to the Demon Hunter Club!
Sylvia didn’t intend to compete with the Holy Court for power, but this word still made her heart feel hot. Warriors are of great significance to mankind. Ever since she was a little girl, Sylvia has heard the stories of warriors holding holy swords.
That is the saviour of mankind, who will defeat the Demon King and protect the world!
It was also that she had always overlooked Ansel’s striking white hair and sunset-coloured pupils, which was extraordinary in appearance. What is it if not the best example of Ansel being a warrior.
Thinking of this, Sylvia suddenly fell into a trance.
So, that white hair really wasn’t dyed?
Ansel finally breathed a sigh of relief as the command was not handed over to him. He still has his own things to do, and if he is constrained to the leader’s position, it will be difficult for him to summon demons.
That’s right, Ansel planned to summon demons… that is, his subordinates. That’s why he planned to kidnap Simon.
Simon seems to know the most about this topic, so let’s catch him first!
“Don’t you know how to fight for more?” After the communication ended, the weapon master’s face was filled with anger, hating iron for not becoming steel. “As long as you said one more thing, the position of commander would have been yours. I can assist you from the side, and I am not afraid of people from the Holy Court.”
The weapon master felt that Ansel was too indifferent to fame and fortune, he was simply a saint!
Ansel: “…”
This is simply an insult to the Demon King. In fact, every Demon King is really ambitious, longing for a wider territory and more people. However, this kind of ambition is usually restricted to the demon realm, where demons fight back and forth for the throne of the Demon King. Occasionally, they also think of attacking the Supreme Heaven and causing trouble for the angels. But when it comes to the human realm, the demon kings of all generations have no intention of getting involved.
The human world could be considered a cornerstone and buffer zone. Ever since he arrived here, Ansel has discovered that the development of the human world is very rapid, far surpassing that of the Supreme Heaven and the Demon Realm. It can serve as a pioneer or as a mirror… The value of everything should not be measured solely by strength.
But none of this could be explained to the demon hunter in front of him, so Ansel could only sigh.
“I didn’t want to…”
Before he could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook. This wave of shock came and went quickly, and the whole town buzzed for a brief moment, as if an earth dragon flipped over in the depths. Many people ran out of the building and gathered on the streets in panic. Ansel and the weapon master also left the memorial hall, but their emotions were different from ordinary people.
“The special operations team is still underground!” The weapon master lowered his voice, “Could it be they who caused the earthquake this time…”
Ansel’s perception was much more precise than his. He didn’t feel the turbulence in the earth’s veins, that means this was not an ordinary earthquake. He squatted half down, touched the ground with one hand, and his consciousness instantly passed through countless obstacles and stone layers, opening his eyes in the huge underground void!
He saw the general-level monster roaring in pain, the sound was like rolling thunder, and half of its body was burned by the holy light. A group of demon hunters were evacuating, with rubble continuing falling above their heads, but not a single piece harmed them. All the damage was blocked by the illusory wings spread above their heads.
Ansel’s eyes darkened slightly, his protection…
Triggered.
Confirming that the team is safe, Ansel took back his consciousness and pulled out his magic mirror phone. The weapon master wasn’t yet sure if the earthquake was caused by the special operations team, but Ansel’s voice suddenly sounded beside him.
“It’s not an earthquake, it’s the team fighting monsters.”
The weapon master was shocked.
“How do you know…that’s right, after all, it’s you!”
Ansel: “…”
Ansel: “Don’t be blindly superstitious. My reason is very simple.”
He held out the magic mirror phone towards the weapon master and gestured for him to look at it.
“There is no news on the website of the Seismological Bureau.”
Weapon Master: “……”
Why is it such a scientific reason? Do you remember that you are a mysterious demon hunter who also knows magic? !
“News from the Seismological Bureau is still very accurate.” Ansel emphasised, “Sometimes they can even predict things in advance. As a human, can you have some pride in the information age of mankind? Don’t just think about magic every day? Is the rice you eat grown by magic?!”
Weapon Master:”……”
He felt suffocated and couldn’t refute.
The earthquake had subsided, and Ansel quickly walked towards the hotel. Most of the demon hunters in the crowd also did the same. Everyone almost realised that… there may be an accident with the team sent underground.
***
Deep underground, a group of demon hunters took a break in a relatively spacious crevice while avoiding the raging demon leader. There is a risk of discovery if you choose large cracks to hide, but it’s also not easy to choose a crack that is too narrow. If unfortunately you get stuck inside, there will be no hope of rescue.
This team of demon hunters is composed of second-class and third-class stars, but facing the demon leader who is as huge as a mountain, they still…
No one got injured.
All demon hunters: “…”
It’s very magical!
“Mr. Yun, the light on your body just now…” Edward, the second-class star asked. He originally thought it was some ancient inheritance of the eastern clan, but Yun Jian shook his head.
“No, no, I’m also very confused.”
Just now, in order to rescue a third-class star, he fell into the attack range of the demon leader. The giant palm grasped his whole body and suddenly increased the strength, intending to crush him! Yun Jian thought that even if he was lucky enough to survive, all his bones would definitely be shattered, and he did hear a cracking sound, like a piece of fine porcelain falling on the ground, shattering into pieces, but—
—— A light flickered.
Then, huge and brilliant wings bloomed outward, with Yun Jian as the centre. The pair of wings were illusory, with pure white feathers reflecting the colorful illusory lights, almost unlike anything in the world. Yun Jian faintly heard the singing, as if the angel in the clouds had casted his love, but before he could listen carefully, the screams of the demon leader drowned all the sounds.
The outstretched wings burned the demon leader’s hands, and the illusory feathers danced in the air, blinding his eyes. At the critical moment, Edward seized the opportunity and pulled Yun Jian out of danger, and the group began to escape.
…That’s it, his life was saved.
Yun Jian opened his hand, and the wings gradually withered away, but the fluttering illusory feathers were still there, as if they were entities, resting quietly in his palm.
“I really don’t know how the light and wings came about. Maybe it’s some kind of forbidden spell.” He lowered his eyelashes.
A demon hunter has already lost his voice and shouted.
“Forbidden spell? Is there anyone in this world who has mastered the forbidden spell?”
The strongest member of the Demon Hunter Club is Gevin, who has only mastered the Six Light Wheel Magic. It is said that there is also a sage in the Holy Court who has been hiding for five hundred years, and he has already broken through the realm of forbidden spells, and now, this magic suspected of being the forbidden spell appeared in front of them.
It’s like a dream.
Edward coughed twice and his body swayed slightly. The demon hunter next to him quickly supported him, and Edward sat down slowly. He took off the Panama hat from his head with one hand, while the other hand hung softly by his side.
The demon leader had great strength, and at that time, Edward was unable to dodge for a moment.
Yun Jian suddenly spoke up.
“Why don’t you give this a try?”
He opened his hand, and the colourful illusory feathers lay in his palm. He moved the feathers closer to Edward, and the feathers floated spontaneously and slowly merged into the broken arm.
In an instant, the fracture was connected, blood started circulating, and an incredible healing treatment occurred. Edward tried to move his arm, and it was really intact!
Instant healing! All the demon hunters present gasped.
“Do you have any other feathers?”
“It’s all gone.” Yun Jian spread his hands, “It was the last piece just now. The healing effect shouldn’t be the main effect of the forbidden spell just now, but the protection that was opened. The reason why it has a healing effect is more likely because the light element in the feathers is too pure.”
Edward was still moving his arms, and from time to time, the low growls of demons could be heard around him. He is currently thinking about a question, and he believes that Yun Jian is also thinking about it.
“Who have you been in contact with recently?”
Yun Jian was indeed thinking about this, and he recalled it for a moment.
“Most of the people I have been in close contact with recently are all basically here. In addition to Miss Sylvia, there are also two newcomers who I’ve been close to recently, one is Joey and the other is…”
His voice softened.
“Ansel.”
***
“Ah..chu!”
His Majesty the Demon King sneezed, suspecting that it’s because he had been provoked by people from the Holy Court just now.
What do you mean by “immediately blow up the entrance to avoid losses”? What does “evacuate all civilians and level the entire town” mean? Such a proposal is equivalent to completely sacrificing the action team underground and taking the entire town with it.
Ansel, who had personally built the city walls in Suberbian City, knew very well that it is easier to destroy than to build. So why? Is the Holy Court faster and better than his demon army when it comes to building infrastructure? Is it okay to blow up a small town and listen to the noise, huh?
“……Are you in a bad mood?”
Someone spoke behind him.
Ansel had already noticed someone, but when he turned his head, he didn’t see anyone for a moment and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Is there such brilliant invisibility magic in the human world?
Soon he solved the case himself, and His Majesty the Demon King’s gaze shifted downwards to see Simon sitting in a wheelchair with a forced smile.
Ansel: “…”
Look at the injury, both legs are broken, right? Which kind-hearted angel acted in advance for him!
When Ansel’s brain activity is intense, his face still remains expressionless. Like Saros, this was the basic skill of the Demon King, so Simon could not guess Ansel’s thoughts through his expression.
Although his legs were broken, Simon believed that this wouldn’t affect his plan. The second-class stars of the Demon Hunter Club are all buried underground and cannot come out for a while, or simply never come out. This is the perfect opportunity…
Let’s kidnap this white-haired sixth-class star!
Ansel was also thinking happily.
Simon’s legs are broken, and the wheelchair can be used as a small cart, making it very convenient to transport. This is an excellent opportunity…
Let’s kidnap this guy who knows the demon summoning ritual!
