Chapter 202: Your Majesty the Demon King
When the last trace of black mist spread across the sky, the Red Moon hung again over the crack, and the demon realm was once more covered by the night.
The young demon lay quietly on the bed, his pale face remarkably peaceful, with a slight red tint at the corners of his eyes and on his nose, and soft black curls resting against his face.
He was not disturbed by the chaos of the outside world.
Lin Lin held the other person’s hands tightly, wet black slime slipping down where they joined, as the human woman looked down, struggling to express her feelings at that moment.
The moment she had long tried to avoid had finally arrived.
"Do you want to watch him dissolve here?" Safir asked.
Sapphire Dragon spoke calmly, the cold Dragon race urging Lin Lin to let go of her hands, then putting the demon into a coffin and carrying it to the basement.
"… Why a coffin? Didn’t they say it’s not about death?" Lin Lin stood up quietly, making room for Safir. "It just looks so unlucky."
"Because it’s convenient," Safir replied calmly, "and the Demon King Castle hasn’t had a Blood Clan for a long time. There’s no use in keeping it; it won’t matter if it’s damaged."
No, there will be a Blood Clan, but because that guy’s character is very annoying, there is no need to leave him a coffin.
Lin Lin feels complicated.
Safir is a person who always thinks of the worst possible outcomes. Even though Lin Lin continues to tell him that the demon race boy will be the true Your Majesty the Demon King of the demon realm in two hundred years, so everything will turn out well, Safir can still calmly and coldly say to Lin Lin, "That is your world."
The future of this world is still unknown.
Sometimes, Lin Lin even admires Safir’s coldness; he has no expectations, so he does not have her current worries.
He calmly guides others to place the demon race boy into the coffin, then turns to Lin Lin and says, "Don’t worry, this coffin is sealed. He will turn into something like the coffee in a cup."
"Please do not compare it to a drink, thank you," Lin Lin replies, "I still want to drink coffee in the future."
Although she feels sadness, upon careful thought, her future appetite is also important.
–
In a dark and eerie basement, there was a coffin placed at the center of a blood-red magic circle, with flickering lights and oddly-shaped colleagues silently paying their respects.
…It felt like the villain’s side!
Even though this was indeed the villain’s side, this scene was so villainous! It felt like someone was about to shake a glass of red wine and swear to completely destroy the world!
Since Lin Lin arrived at Demon King Castle, the strangest scene she had ever seen in history was happening right now.
Lin Lin kept observing the people around her and Safir’s serious expression, trying to confirm that she hadn’t joined any suspicious cult.
As the Demon King, Lin Lin stood closest to Safir, in the most central position, watching him put his half-finished tea cup on the coffin.
She really wanted to correct it, but since this was not a real coffin, she couldn’t say anything; it was just very strange.
When the cup of tea was firmly placed down, not just Lin Lin, but everyone fell silent.
The Sapphire Dragon slowly opened its mouth, speaking in a strange yet graceful manner; Lin Lin had never heard this language before but sensed it was familiar coming from his lips.
The deep voice of the dragon race charged the spell with magic, and Safir’s deep blue hair floated in the wind. In an instant, the magic belonging to the dragon began to spread from around Safir.
Although Safir had once complained that Lin Lin had the most important job, needing to clear away her worries, Lin Lin understood very well who truly had the "most important job."
Safir needed to wrap the entire land of the demon realm in magic, which required vast amounts of power.
Safir, who treated magic like his own right hand, had not used any spells for a while, just to save his strength.
Lin Lin had truly never seen Safir exhausted of magic; the powerful magic of the dragon race was on a completely different level than that of humans.
Before this, Safir had never shown any harshness about using magic, but two hundred years later, the Sapphire Dragon could now coldly tease Lin Lin and the Demon King for their reckless use of magic.
"Boom—"
Outside the Demon King Castle, thunder suddenly roared.
The ground trembled along with it.
The Sapphire Dragon is an earth-type dragon. They are both destroyers and guardians of the land.
The ground shook, and the half-filled cup of tea on the coffin made a clear sound. Somewhere deep under the Demon King Castle, a buried power resonated with Safir’s magic.
Lin Lin heard the cries of monsters outside the Demon King Castle. This time, the screams sounded even more heartrending than before.
Several monsters that were originally standing neatly in the dungeon began to walk out one by one.
Then came the sounds of fighting.
Unlike humans, monsters have superior smell and hearing that help them notice many things humans find hard to detect.
When Safir slowly began to chant the spell, the power of the dragon and the magic wrapped around the entire demon realm, and all creatures in the demon realm knew that the Demon King Castle was doing something risky.
Those monsters who originally scorned the Demon King Castle, along with some from those filled with malice toward it, would come to try to stop the changes at the Demon King Castle.
Some residents of the Demon King Castle went out, followed by another group that also left.
Compared to the demon race, humans have very limited hearing. Lin Lin could only faintly hear the sounds of magical explosions and the continuous rumble of thunder.
Lin Lin’s gaze followed the footsteps of those who left.
Soon, she shivered, and the tightness she felt when a teacher caught her daydreaming made her suddenly alert.
Safir’s gaze was on Lin Lin, and he continued to chant his spell without stopping.
Although the Sapphire Dragon said nothing, Lin Lin could clearly see in their eyes the message to "mind your own business."
Thank you, Teacher Safir. Thanks to your arrogance and strictness during lessons, just a glance at your sour face makes the students fully aware of where the danger lies. Lin Lin silently adjusted her position.
Lin Lin stood still, watching her companions leave one by one from the dungeon.
This place was like a lighthouse in the dark for the monsters; they needed to keep "outsiders" from entering here.
Until the last companion left, only Lin Lin and Safir remained in the dungeon.
The outside world became a little quieter.
Lin Lin’s gaze turned to the center of the dungeon, where the coffin stood in the middle of the magic circle.
That was her job.
She was Safir’s guard, and in this demon realm, the real threat to Safir was not outside Demon King Castle.
It was inside Demon King Castle.
Tremor.
This tremor did not come from the earth, but from the heavy coffin.
The teacup that Safir had placed on the coffin rolled off the top, shattering on the ground, soaking the floor with dark brown tea.
This time, without Safir saying a word, Lin Lin already held her magic wand and stood in front of the coffin.
A wisp of black mist escaped from the crack in the coffin lid.
Lin Lin gripped her magic wand tightly, feeling the slight movement of the cold air.
A broken teacup floated up from the ground.
Lin Lin’s feet lifted off the ground, not because she used a flying spell, but because she was forced into a state of weightlessness.
Lin Lin, who had experienced time travel several times, was not unfamiliar with this situation; Safir’s time spell was working.
Time in the demon realm was moving forward.
Another wisp of black mist seeped out from the coffin.
"Don’t come out," Lin Lin said, even though the creature inside the coffin could not understand her words.
Safir assigned Lin Lin the task of not letting him leave Demon King Castle at any cost. If he did, both the demon realm and himself would disappear.
Your Majesty the Demon King, who cannot leave the Demon King Castle.
The Pea Princess trapped at the top of the tall tower.
Lin Lin raised the magic wand, carefully polished by dark beings and set with light-type gemstones.
She heard her own trembling voice.
"Please don’t come out."
