Demon King

It's impossible to know exactly how many of the more than one hundred elite men died; it's even possible that almost all of them perished in the attack just now.

Apart from Ieta, he didn't even have a single subordinate by his side.

Disheveled, miserable, even desperate.

Daiaboliq's body trembled, his eyes even becoming somewhat cloudy as he looked around blankly. How he wished he could see another subordinate rise from the ashes formed by the fine sand and stand beside him, calling him "Great Prince" once again.

However, his hope turned into disappointment.

None of them were able to stand up; it was unclear whether they had escaped during the initial impact or...

He didn't even dare to imagine it.

He knew that he, who had never lost before, had lost for the first time.

The defeat was clean and decisive, a complete and utter loss.

Daiaboliq's heart, which had never been shaken before, was tormented like never before, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed and became dull.

It's over, it's all over.

With so many loyal and powerful subordinates dead, the territory's power weakened instantly.

He suffered a crushing defeat before the Hero, and his reputation plummeted.

He realized that he would only be a laughingstock in the eyes of Magic Creature, and had no right to inherit the throne of the Demon King. His second brother would definitely not let this opportunity pass.

Rather than slowly marching towards destruction amidst the ridicule and sarcasm of my brothers, I'd rather fight the Hero to the death here. Even if it means self-destructing my body and soul, I'll drag the Hero down with me.

Someone like Daiaboliq, who is powerful and arrogant, and has almost never experienced setbacks in his life, is most prone to going to extremes.

His gaze grew increasingly intense, increasingly frantic.

Yes, he has one last chance.

To burn one's own body, to consume one's own soul.

The final attack will unleash unprecedented energy, perhaps even dragging the Hero down to hell.

In this way, even if they die, at least they will leave behind a good reputation among the Magic Creature.

In a flash, the eldest prince's gaze fell upon the woman behind him, Ieta, the only one who had stayed with him until the very end.

Ha...

Ieta is truly loyal to herself.

Even though he had fallen to such a wretched state and no longer had the means to control Ieta, this Blood Elf still stayed by his side.

Even though the eldest prince was a very selfish and self-centered fellow, he was deeply moved at this moment.

Tears welled up in his eyes. Having such a loyal subordinate was truly the greatest fortune of his life.

Who the hell said Blood Elf are all selfish? Aren't they incredibly loyal?

His dirty paws gripped Ieta's shoulders, his tearful eyes rubbing against hers. "Ieta, I never thought you'd be the one by my side in the end."

"Are you willing to join me in a final battle against that damned bastard Hero?"

His voice was low and suppressed.

Ieta took a deep breath. "Your Highness, I will always follow you."

Very good!

These words finally broke Daiaboliq's composure. Tears streamed down his dirty face. He took a deep breath to maintain his last shred of dignity, even managing a smile. With such a loyal subordinate, what more could he ask for?

He knew he was going to die. Facing him were the Flame Witch, a petite woman whose strength was in no way inferior to the Flame Witch, and the most terrifying Hero.

But Ieta gave him boundless courage, and fear vanished from his heart.

For the sake of his dignity as the eldest prince, and for the sake of all the fallen soldiers under his command...

The eldest prince suddenly let out a roar, and a layer of dark flames gradually emerged from his body. His body and his soul were burning, and his aura was gradually expanding, becoming stronger and stronger...

With Ieta's support, he had nothing to fear.

He lunged towards Qin Chu, determined to use his life and soul to preserve his last shred of dignity and honor. Behind him was Ieta; she had indeed been following him all along, through thick and thin.

Completely unaware that Ieta's gaze behind her was growing increasingly strange, her small hands gently interlacing behind her back, and fine threads rapidly emerging from the tips of her sharp nails.

"Qin Chu... prepare to die..."

Laugh!

Almost all ten silk threads burrowed into the back of the eldest prince's heart.

There was a soft "poof" sound.

On the back of the eldest prince, a large chunk of hard muscle was instantly torn off, with even white bone mixed in the middle, and a beating heart was brutally ripped out by Ieta.

Daiaboliq froze in mid-air, his face contorted in disbelief. His body twisted slowly, like a stiff wooden sculpture, as he looked behind him.

That still-beating, dark red heart was being held in Ieta's palm.

"Ieta, you..."

On Ieta's pretty face was a gentle yet slightly mocking smile, "Your Highness, I'm very sorry... the Hero is my new master."

"This is merely the master's task!"

The next second...

Snap!

The pain of heartbreak!

Chapter 247 Demon King

(Please vote with monthly tickets and recommendation votes)

A massive, dark red heart exploded in Ieta's palm.

The viscous liquid dripped from between her fair fingers onto the sandy ground.

Puff!

Just as his heart burst, Daiaboliq's body trembled violently, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

For a being of the caliber of the eldest prince Daiaboliq, even having his heart crushed wouldn't kill him instantly. Magic Creature have far more vitality than one can imagine, let alone the eldest prince who inherited the excellent bloodline of the Demon King.

But the pain is still the same.

However, compared to the physical pain, the torment from the depths of his soul was even more unbearable for Daiaboliq. His face was contorted in agony, his brows furrowed with confusion, bewilderment, shock, sorrow, and despair.

"Ieta, you betrayed me..." His voice was hoarse.

Ieta's response dealt Daiaboliq a devastating blow.

It turned out that the most loyal subordinate he had always thought would stay with him until the end was actually Qin Chu's servant all along.

For the first time, he understood what extreme pain felt like, and what it meant to be utterly alone.

Daiaboliq didn't even have the energy to Wrath; he just stared blankly at Ieta, as if it were all just his imagination.

He couldn't describe the emotions he felt. At this moment, this powerful Demonic Beast Grand Prince even wished he had never existed in this world, rather than have to endure this excruciating pain.

He had thought that even though Ieta was controlled by Qin Chu, she had been by his side for many years and he had developed some feelings for her. He believed that Ietta would hesitate and feel pain as she was being manipulated by Qin Chu to harm him. However, he was disappointed. He saw no such feelings in Ieta's eyes, only a chilling coldness.

A smile appeared on Ieta's lips as she floated towards Qin Chu's direction.

The master's task was to make Daiaboliq suffer the pain of heartbreak.

Ieta initially felt this task would be somewhat difficult, given that Daiaboliq was very powerful and that ripping out and crushing his heart would not be an easy task.

Unexpectedly, his master had already made meticulous arrangements, using the traps set by the Magic Creature to destroy Magic Creature all. The rhetoric he had taught him had completely won Daiaboliq's trust.

She continued to stay by Daiaboliq's side after that, deepening their trust in each other.

Hatred and defeat fueled Daiaboliq's rage, leaving Qin Chu as his sole enemy, with no other Magic Creature around to offer any warning.

In this situation, if Ieta were to make a move, victory would be virtually guaranteed.

The master is truly remarkable; he has calculated to such an extent how to deal with the mere Daiaboliq.

Ieta's respect and submission to his new master grew ever stronger.

At least until someone emerges who is stronger, more cunning, and more meticulous than the master of Qin Chu, Ieta's loyalty to Qin Chu is beyond question.

Qin Chu stared wide-eyed at Ieta, whose hands were covered in blood, his expression extremely strange.

Goodness!

He just wanted to make Daiaboliq suffer the pain of heartbreak.

He figured he'd make Daiaboliq believe that Ieta was the only Magic Creature still around him, the most loyal person to him, and then at the last moment, Ieta would betray him. Daiaboliq would surely be heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, Ieta actually ripped out Daiaboliq's heart and crushed it.

This... this...

For a moment, Qin Chu didn't know what kind of expression to make.

Looking at Ieta beside him, her little head slightly raised, as if waiting for his praise.

Qin Chu could only force a smile and nod, "Yes, Ieta, you did a good job, I'm very satisfied."

Ieta was overjoyed. It seemed that she had made a good impression on her new master, which was a good omen.

Her gaze drifted to Daiaboliq in the distance. "Your Highness... why are you so sad?"

"Shouldn't you have anticipated this situation?"

"When you released Heloise's wrist and let her be swallowed by the lava, did you really think we would still be loyal to you?"

"Today's outcome is entirely your own fault; you have no right to blame us."

Daiaboliq was too lazy to even argue; he just smiled somewhat nervously, "Ieta... Heloise..."

"Do you really think your future will be better? Don't forget your identity, you are Magic Creature... No matter how similar your appearance is to humans, that's the only thing that can never be changed. Can a human Hero really accept you?"

"I'll be waiting for you in hell..."

Heloise finally broke free from Qin Chu's embrace at some point. Her bright eyes gazed at the blood-soaked Crown Prince in the distance. A touch of sadness and fear filled her heart, but the Snow Woman still mustered her courage. "Your Highness..."

"Perhaps, following the Hero will bring us many unnecessary hardships, but I believe that even a hundred or a thousand times more hardships would be better than staying by your side."

Heloise's answer left Daiaboliq speechless.

Qin Chu didn't intend to give Daiaboliq too much time, not because he was worried about things going wrong, but because he didn't want Daiaboliq to suddenly attack someone again... Daiaboliq was already finished, and even if he was left alone, he was doomed.

But this is a super huge experience package!

Before Daiaboliq died, Qin Chu was still prepared to absorb some of the power.

However, just as Qin Chu was about to take a step, a sudden, inexplicable fear gripped his heart.

A warning sign suddenly arose within my soul.

The Sapling inside the body was also shaking violently.

The fear he felt in that instant made Qin Chu feel as if he were witnessing the taste of death.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and at that moment he displayed unimaginable decisiveness, completely disregarding the source of the danger, and immediately shouted in a low voice, "Grab me!"

Almost instinctively, the moment Qin Chu finished speaking, Heloise and Ieta grabbed Qin Chu's clothes. Phil and Antia even crawled directly into Qin Chu's body.

Immediately afterwards, a magic scroll appeared in his palm.

The next second, with a whoosh, the three figures vanished.

In the instant before Qin Chu disappeared, his eyes clearly saw a streak of light streak across the sky.

It was as if a giant battle axe had torn the Sky Curtain apart, splitting the entire firmament in two like a piece of silk.

The Pseudo-Absolute Defense shattered instantly.

This power, which was almost impossible to break, had withstood the impact of so many traps and restrictions. At this moment, the mirror, which had been smashed by a giant hammer, turned into countless golden fragments and disappeared in mid-air.

Arc light tore the earth apart.

It was as if the Sky Curtain above had been split in two, and a huge canyon, more than ten kilometers long, appeared on the ground. It was bottomless, like a terrifying Abyss, trying to devour everything.

Fine, loose sand cascaded down both sides of the canyon.
