Demon King – Chapter 793 – Information That Basically Matches Up

“What’s wrong with you? You don’t seem very energetic…”

Sneaking a glance at the somewhat listless loli beside him, Xixia, who was working on the problems she had assigned, kept feeling that something about her was off today.

“It’s nothing. My main body caught a chill and has a fever, so this side’s a bit affected too… Anyway, we can’t research those things today. I’ll just finish tutoring you and then I’m leaving.”

Sitting to the side, Eiru rubbed her temples and gestured for Xixia to keep writing, telling him not to worry about her.

“Wait, what? You’re sick and you still came over? Did you mix up what’s the main purpose and what’s secondary?”

“I said yesterday I’d come check your homework. If I say it, I’ll do it… And the clone won’t affect anything. It’s basically just remote control. It won’t tire out my actual body.”

This time, the little Demon Lord was not just being stubborn. After all, a clone was naturally created based on a healthy state. So she was essentially remote-controlling a healthy body to tutor Xixia. While her mental state would be slightly influenced by her main body, it definitely would not burden it.

“As long as it doesn’t affect you, fine. But I’ve always been curious… Why don’t you come in person? Why use a clone?”

Although Eiru had previously explained that she was afraid her family would notice and cause trouble, so she tried to avoid going out in person, Xixia always felt that there had to be another reason.

‘Is she worried that since I am a boy, being alone in a room together would be inappropriate? That’s not make sense either. If that’s the reason, using a clone would just be self-deception. And judging by her personality, she doesn’t seem like the type to care about that sort of thing.’

After spending these days together, Xixia had more or less figured out the personality of the little devil beside him. Sometimes he even felt like he was not talking to a girl at all. Aside from being mischievous and loving to mess with people, she often acted like a little boy, giving off the vibe of a goofy bro.

‘Speaking of which, she has a boyfriend, right? That white-haired senior…’

He wondered whether her personality gave that senior a headache.

Although Xixia had once briefly entertained the idea of pursuing Eiru, it had ultimately been a byproduct of his chuunibyou fantasies. For example, in order to prevent the Demon Lord from harming the world, she needed to be supervised by the Hero… something along those lines.

While chatting with a goofy online friend, when the other party pointed out that his desire to pursue her was not out of romantic feelings but rather a sense of responsibility, it made him seriously think about it.

After reassessing and confirming that there was no real need to supervise Eiru, Xixia gave up on the idea. Although he genuinely found her adorable, for some reason he had never developed any romantic feelings toward her.

Of course, Xixia would never guess that the online friend who had enlightened him was actually the Demon Lord’s younger sister… Sometimes the world really did feel small.

“To avoid something, I guess? And it feels like it saves time going back home too? Anyway, clones are pretty convenient.”

Resting her chin on her hand and thinking about it, even Her Majesty the Demon Lord herself did not really know the exact reason.

“Then what about that little thing that used to come with you?”

“Oh, it got mad at me for some reason. Refused to come today no matter what… So I couldn’t do anything.”

‘Uh… It’s probably mad because you forgot about it, right?’

Xixia grumbled inwardly and lowered his head to continue writing.

The relationship between the Demon Lord and the Hero is supposed to be one of absolute, irreconcilable enmity… Why does something feel off?

While Xixia was working, the little Demon Lord held that pop-up book and continued studying its details.

The Hero’s ability to overdraw their own future was not only uncontrollable, but could only be lifted after successfully defeating the Demon Lord. That alone predetermined that the Hero and the Demon Lord could never peacefully coexist. Only one could survive.

However, there could only ever be one Demon Lord at a time, but there was more than one Hero. Since only the Hero who defeated the Demon Lord could break the curse, wouldn’t there be intense competition among the Heroes themselves?

After making a small comment in her mind about the level of internal competition among Heroes, Eiru even felt a bit of sympathy for those Heroes who were forced to harm each other just to survive.

But there were obvious inconsistencies in these stories. If that was the setting, then why had there once been a Hero who fell in love with a Demon Lord? And even managed to brainwash that generation’s Demon Lord?

With the general life experiences of previous Demon Lords in her mind, the little Demon Lord clearly remembered a particularly embarrassing predecessor who had been completely manipulated by one of the Heroes of that era.

Not only did that foolish Demon Lord throw herself at him, but in order to stay together forever, she even placed an outrageous curse upon herself and her descendants. From then on, every Demon Lord would be fated to form a strange connection with a Hero.

Although that brainwashed predecessor had nearly exhausted all her power to cast it, and had originally set it up as a romantic bond, the later Demon Lords were still Demon Lords. If we’re all Demon Lords, why should your magic be untouchable?

So the subsequent Demon Lords who refused to accept it and had no interest in falling in love with Heroes could not directly remove the curse, since it was the ultimate work of a single Demon Lord’s full power. But they could weaken its effects and tamper with its contents.

After enough alterations, the curse gradually turned into something else. The Demon Lord would inevitably be found and harassed by a Hero. It might not necessarily be romantic. It could be hostile. But there would definitely be contact.

Thus, even if a Demon Lord hid deep in the mountains and kept to herself, a Hero could still inexplicably appear out of nowhere, discover her existence, and soon after, a whole crowd of weapon-wielding Heroes would come knocking.

And since Heroes would also fight among themselves for that single chance at survival, it indirectly saddled the Demon Lord with all kinds of blood debts. Even if she had no hostility and was willing to spare them, she would still be relentlessly hunted wherever she went by these lunatics.

Finally, one Demon Lord could no longer endure such harassment. She exhausted all her power, shattered the barriers between worlds, and directly cast the Abyssal Amber, the source of the Demon Lord, into another dimension.

Unable to solve the problem of the Heroes, she simply eliminated the Demon Lord itself.

As for what happened to that world afterward, Eiru had no idea. But by a twist of fate, she had become the next Demon Lord.

“The story basically matches the information in my head… It says the Demon Lord left the world to escape the Heroes. That sounds about right?”

Resting her chin in thought, the little Demon Lord noticed that neither the information in her mind nor the contents of the book mentioned what ultimately happened to that last Demon Lord.

Perhaps she was still in that world, being harassed by Heroes? But with the Abyssal Amber gone, if that predecessor had died, then no new Demon Lord would ever be born there again.

But… why did the story still feel so full of inconsistencies?

The information basically matched up, so what exactly was off?
