Demon King – Chapter 369 – The Demon Lord’s Full Dive Holographic Game

“Tsk, another giant bat. How did this thing ferment into something like this…”

Sitting on the ground in a duck sit, the little Demon Lord clutched her head, looking extremely troubled.

The few of them were not trained professionals to begin with, nor were they desperate criminals. Her Majesty the Demon Lord merely gave them a slight warning, and they already confessed most of their background and purpose…

That said, gravity manipulation could hardly be called a light warning, since internal organs would also be seriously affected…

Although Eiru used magic to protect their internal organs from actual damage, that crushing pressure and pain from the inside out was not something ordinary people could endure.

According to their confession, they were personnel who specialized in hunting rare animals for sale, and they had already been staying in Huanghai for about half a year.

The reason they came here was mainly because they had seen rumors about giant bats appearing in Huanghai City. After verifying the credibility through multiple channels, they formulated a detailed capture plan.

After all, if such a huge bat truly existed, whether it was sold for exhibition or trafficked to research institutions in this field… even if it were made into a specimen, it could fetch a very considerable price.

They transported equipment parts across the border in batches for assembly, smuggled in some necessary contraband… while doing these preparatory tasks, they also secretly investigated intelligence about that giant bat.

After learning that the bat occasionally flew from the East District to the West District on Saturdays, the group conducted deeper investigations and eventually locked their target onto a certain silver haired loli.

At first, they only believed that Eiru had a very close relationship with that giant bat, and wanted to pry some information out of her mouth. But after repeatedly studying the movement patterns of the two, they noticed the protective personnel around the girl.

This abnormal level of protection led them to make a bold guess that the girl might be the owner of that giant bat, and that their target might be hiding in this girl’s home.

Thus, they spent a considerable amount of time probing the movement patterns of those protective personnel, and finally found an opportunity like today.

Originally, their plan was to use those street punks to stage a heroic rescue, gain her trust, then find an opportunity to follow her home and look for the bat. At the very least, they needed to pry some useful information out of her mouth. That was the purpose of their operation tonight.

After all, the target was just an animal. Whether to avoid unnecessary trouble or for humane reasons, as long as profits were not harmed, they still held the mindset of not harming people if it could be avoided.

The three lay in ambush in the alley waiting for their moment to appear, and then just happened to witness a certain girl unleashing her might… and also saw the wings and tail behind her.

The three were not idiots. They immediately realized that the girl herself was the giant bat they were looking for. While shocked, they also saw even greater profit, giving rise to even more sinful thoughts.

This was a non-human intelligent lifeform. Whether it was a so-called bat girl or an actual little demon, it was already far beyond what a mere rare animal could compare to.

As long as they captured and tamed this girl, whether for exhibition or other uses, the enormous commercial returns she could bring would be enough that the three of them would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives.

As an intelligent being, she could bring returns incomparable to ordinary animals, and she was also suspected to be a juvenile individual, giving her extremely broad potential for shaping…

Thinking this far, the three did not even need to discuss it and quickly reached a consensus. As long as they caught her alive it was fine. Since she was not human, treating her a bit roughly was no problem.

Moreover, faced with such enormous profit temptation, they chose not to report to their organization to seek consultation… planning to do this job themselves and then wash their hands of it, living the rest of their lives without worry.

With the situation changing, they neither conducted further discussion and investigation, nor reported to their organization for advice, and even conveniently raised a standard flag for themselves… rushing in recklessly like this, it was only natural that they crashed and burned spectacularly.

“I’ll have to tell Uncle Li about the bat thing later…”

Covering her head and muttering to herself, the little Demon Lord glanced sideways at the three miserable international friends on the ground.

The three were quietly shifting their bodies, trying to take advantage of the moment when a certain girl was distracted to escape this hellish place… With just a glance from Eiru, the three immediately stopped in place, not daring to move, afraid that this little demon would pull off some terrifying maneuver again.

Aside from the gravity manipulation used to subdue them at the start, through illusion abilities that dominated the five senses, Her Majesty the Demon Lord had completely let loose and played thoroughly with these few.

Their entire bodies were covered in itching powder, they were tied to pillars and spun at high speed in place, and had intimate contact with N giant centipedes crawling over them… although they suffered no actual physical damage, such devilish operations nonetheless left indelible shadows in the hearts of the three.

“I’m not done playing yet, don’t rush off~”

Eiru once again revealed a dark smile, lightly waving one hand as the scene in the three men’s eyes changed once more.

The three discovered that they were now inside a strange cavern. As they looked around in terror, the childish yet pleasant voice of a certain loli rang out in their minds.

“Welcome to the full dive holographic game I personally crafted! You are now inside an ant nest~ As long as you find the ant queen’s location and defeat her, you win~ Go forth and fight bravely!”

The three looked down and realized they were already dressed as medieval knights. All kinds of cold weapons were placed beside them, clearly prepared to help them clear this game.

“Same as the previous rounds, the losing side has to fulfill one request from the other side~ I hope you show a bit more backbone this time. The difficulty will be relatively low this time~”

So it was just killing monsters and defeating a boss? What kind of ancient RPG game was this… The three complained inwardly while hurriedly choosing weapons that suited them.

They had already lost eight games of different types. Nearly driven insane by being played with, the three did not dare raise any objections to the rules set by a certain girl.

At least it was just ants. Based on this demon’s previous operations, they were probably those finger sized army ants, right? As long as they paid attention to avoiding the ant swarms, the main difficulty should only be finding the ant queen’s location.

Thinking this way, the three sighed inwardly, feeling that a certain Demon Lord had finally shown some humanity…

A moment later, the group of ants nearly half a person tall at the fork not far ahead froze their smiles solid on their faces.

“Go to hell! Is this something humans can play?”

“Play my ass, you damn bastard!”

“I’m not playing anymore! I surrender! Let me out! I’ll say everything!”

Chased by the giant ant swarm as they fled, the three completely lost their composure. They kept spewing profanity in their native language… But obviously, once a certain Demon Lord got into the mood to play, she would not so easily pause this full dive holographic game.

Translator Note

The game looks fun~?
