Demon King – Chapter 128 – The Demon Lord’s Dilemma

“Hello, Uncle Li… yeah, it’s me.” The phone connected, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

“Sorry for calling so late… but something quite serious has happened on my end.” Speaking, the little Demon Lord’s gaze glanced toward the window outside the room… although nothing strange was happening outside the window.

Just when Yuki was about to go out, Eiru faintly seemed to hear a commotion outside. After enhancing her hearing with mana, she finally made out the sounds she heard outside.

It was the sound of a woman struggling and calling for help, accompanied by the sounds of someone chasing her through the complex alleys… probably too panicked to navigate properly through the alleys for a moment.

Combining this with what the taxi driver had told her when going out, Her Majesty the Demon Lord roughly guessed what was happening outside.

Although she wasn’t certain of the specific location, it sounded like it was quite far away… but it was still within her range. That’s why she quickly pulled Yuki back and didn’t let him go home.

After all, there was a high chance Yuki would encounter them on his way home, and knowing this guy’s personality, he would probably rush up to help… She didn’t want her best friend to get hurt or be in danger.

Not to mention safety issues, even just as a witness, Eiru didn’t want Yuki to get involved a murder either. After all, if he got caught up in it, there would be a whole bunch of trouble afterward.

Her Majesty the Demon Lord wasn’t a cold-blooded animal who would refuse to save someone, and she did consider whether she should go out to help. But after weighing her current physical condition, she made the hard decision to give up on it.

She didn’t have much mana left, and identity as a demon needed to be hidden. Unlike the human trafficker situation last time, if she got involved this time it would be easy to have accidents…

And most importantly, if she ran out, Stupid Yuki would definitely follow her out because he was worried. Having him see the scene and get involved would be putting the cart before the horse…

Moreover, people instinctively fear the unknown. Although Yuki didn’t mind her non-human identity now, if he saw her terrifying combat power, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t be afraid and distance himself from her.

Considering all these factors, the little Demon Lord ultimately chose to be an ordinary person and leave it to the police uncles to handle, which was actually the best solution for the current situation.

“Alright, I’ll have someone go take a look right away…” After roughly explaining the situation, the other side said they would send people to handle it and told her to stay home and refrain from going out.

“Still feels so frustrating…” Putting down the phone, filled with guilt toward that unknown victim, Eiru went to the wardrobe to prepare clothes for Yuki to change into…

In the past, she had also thought that if she got superpowers or some kind of powerful strength, she would definitely use this power to fight crime and help others. If she encountered today’s situation, she would definitely go out to help without hesitation.

But now that she really had power beyond ordinary people, she realized how stupid her past self had been… when you have to run away, then you have to run away.

Although it was also related to her insufficient mana, the thing she was the most afraid of was something bad happening and implicating the people around her. Even those heroes in novels and anime works usually disguise themselves in their daily life, right…

“Here, change of clothes and bath towel.” Walking out of the room, handing the prepared things to Yuki who had been waiting outside for a long time, “Go take a bath quickly, I still need to bathe after you finish.”

“Oh okay, but you seem… a bit unhappy?” Yuki felt the girl in front of him looked somewhat dejected, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… just questioning life a bit. I’ll be fine in a moment.” The little Demon Lord stood on her tiptoes and gently patted Yuki’s shoulder twice, indicating that he didn’t need to mind it.

Anyway, Uncle Li and the others had already received the message, it wouldn’t take long for them to come over, as long as that person could keep running for a while, nothing should happen… Thinking this, Her Majesty the Demon Lord enhanced her hearing again, but didn’t hear the previous cries for help and sounds of pursuit.

Did they escape? That would be best… Feeling that the person had escaped danger, the little Demon Lord’s heart relaxed and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. While Yuki looked at the girl’s strange reaction with a confused expression.

“Go take a bath quickly…” Speaking, Eiru came to Yuki’s side and gently pushed him toward the bathroom direction. “Finish early so your hair can dry early and you can sleep early…”

“Or… do you want to bathe together with me?” Pointing her finger at her lips and tilting her head, giving him a mischievous look. The little Demon Lord’s explosive statement made Yuki’s heart skip half a beat.

“Just kidding~ I’m going downstairs to buy some things, is there anything you want or want to eat?” Seeing Yuki unable to speak, the little Demon Lord who succeeded in her prank stretched with a happy expression on her face.

“I don’t want anything, just buy what you need, little dummy.” Yuki, who had reacted, rubbed the girl’s head vigorously like revenge, then turned and walked toward the bathroom.

“Okay… okay…” While tidying her somewhat messed up hair, Her Majesty the Demon Lord put on her shoes at the door, preparing to head out.

Her excuse of going downstairs to buy stuff was real, but she was still somewhat worried, so she planned on taking a look at the situation along the way. Although she didn’t know the person, if something really happened, her conscience still wouldn’t be able to bear it.

The same moment the bathroom door closed, Her Majesty the Demon Lord also opened the main door. Just as she was about to step out, her expression suddenly changed dramatically, full of terror.

Because with her enhanced hearing, she suddenly heard a sound similar to a blade cutting flesh near the area where the incident had seemingly occurred.

Something big happened!

This thought instantly swept through the little Demon Lord’s mind. Slamming the door shut, she immediately hacked the surveillance and spread her wings, flying toward the site of the incident.

After using her mana to locate the position of the sound just now, Eiru quickly locked onto an alley. Using her mana once again to accelerate, she quickly reached the scene…

Just as she landed, she somewhat regretted it. Retracting her wings and tail, Her Majesty the Demon Lord felt she had been too impulsive… she didn’t have much mana left, and should have observed the situation from somewhere farther away first.

Scratching her head, after looking around, she immediately discovered a young woman leaning against the wall.

“Hey! Are you okay!” Seeing the several shocking stab wounds on her body and the pool of blood beneath her, the little Demon Lord’s mind turned blank as she rushed forwards.

“Phew… fortunately, still breathing…” Crouching in front of her, using her finger to check her breathing, after seeing that her chest was also rising and falling, Eiru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, not dead yet, just unconscious. Coming to this conclusion, holding the thought that calling an ambulance now should still be in time, just as she was about to take out her phone, she suddenly realized a serious problem.

“Except for two lucky ones who encountered passersby and saved their lives, the others all…”

The taxi driver uncle’s words echoed in her ears, the little Demon Lord suddenly remembered, if this criminal doesn’t leave anyone alive, then why is the person in front of her still alive?

Just as the little Demon Lord realized something was wrong and prepared to get up, a black shadow behind her swung down. Blood splattered, and the blade instantly pierced through her shoulder…
