Demon King – Chapter 808 – Tit for Tat

Although she did not really understand those strange internet buzzwords, Belonia could still tell from the expression on the girl in front of her that the other party was definitely mocking her.

However, as an old monster who had lived who knew how many years, even if she occasionally lost her composure, this level of provocation was not enough to stir anything in her heart.

“No matter how much you resist, now that you can’t escape from the depths of your consciousness, you already have no way to take back control of your body from my hands.”

With the arrogant look of a victor on her face, Belonia’s scarlet pupils stared at the girl before her as if she wanted to devour her whole.

“Even if senior says that, there’s actually still time on my side, right? After all I’m only bound here. Senior still doesn’t really have any good way to deal with me, do you?”

Either because she still needed her to fuse and take over the body, or because she could not harm her for now. Just from the fact that this Demon Lord senior kept launching verbal attacks to make her submit, the little Demon Lord had already guessed that the situation was not actually that bad.

Otherwise the other party would have killed her on the spot already and the body would belong to her by now. For someone like her who would stop at nothing to achieve her goal, if she was not doing that, then it definitely meant she could not.

But the situation was not that optimistic either. The part about not being able to wake up was probably true. Eiru could not help worrying about Yuki in the real world. If he saw that she would not wake up, who knew what kind of stupid thing he might do out of worry.

“You can keep talking tough. Everything is within my grasp.” Belonia sneered. “Watching your behavior all these years inside your body, you truly disappointed me. You alone have disgraced all Demon Lords of every generation.”

A dignified Demon Lord living so timidly in front of a bunch of humans with no special abilities? Possessing immense power yet unable to use it because of various shortcomings. In Belonia’s eyes, Eiru was simply wasting a heavenly gift, completely squandering her strength.

“As expected, humans are mud that cannot be propped up. Even if they gain such power, the useless will still be useless.”

“Ah, sorry for not going around killing and looting resources everywhere like you, senior.” Her Majesty the Demon Lord replied perfunctorily. “But society is different now. Your feudal system set is long outdated.”

“Heh. If I were you, I’d go to whatever power station or something and at any cost replenish my magic first. With power you can dominate everything. The entire world would be yours. Power is everything, understand?”

“Sorry, but I’ve never wanted to be some Demon Lord, and I don’t have any ambition to rule the world. I just want to live an ordinary life and stay with the people around me. Besides, if you really jumped around like that, the next day who knows what would come flying at your face. Would life even still be livable?”

Although those chuunibyou lines made the little Demon Lord itch to complain, considering the other party came from another world, maybe it did not really count as chuunibyou.

No matter whether it was values or ideology, the two Demon Lords could not reach any consensus at all. Feeling annoyed, and guided by the mindset that those who oppose me must die, Belonia had already begun to consider eliminating this junior before her.

But as the only member of her kind in this world, Belonia still felt a trace of pity. Compared to killing her, it might be better to keep her and slowly train her, letting her serve as an interesting toy or little pet.

Letting this child watch everything she cherished be destroyed by me would surely produce a very amusing reaction. Destroy everything she has, twist her beliefs, and let her become my possession in numb helplessness with nowhere to go. I do so love the sight of stubborn children submitting before me.

Sensing the change in the gaze and attitude of the person in front of her, the little Demon Lord felt a chill run down her spine. But the other party was already after her body in the first place, so that feeling was not strange.

The time before she could take control of Eiru’s body was still far away. With the intention of striking at her mentally, Belonia continued chatting with her junior. Though in truth it was mostly just verbal attacks and insults, all to slowly destroy the other party’s self esteem.

“Watching you act all lovey dovey with a human really makes me feel ashamed, disgusted, nauseated. You’re a Demon Lord, yet you walk together with a human. Don’t you ever think about whether he’s worthy?”

“Whether he’s worthy isn’t for you to decide.” Without that lazy tone, Eiru’s voice suddenly turned cold. Without a doubt, the other party had stepped on her landmine this time.

“Oh?”

Belonia noticed the change too. Feeling she had found the right angle, she smiled charmingly and continued pressing this topic.

“I am a Demon Lord. If my words don’t count, whose do? A mere human wants to lay hands on a Demon Lord’s body? Once I obtain your body, the first one I deal with will be him.”

“You really like your little boyfriend, don’t you?” Belonia extended a finger and lightly traced circles on Eiru’s chest.

“But aside from yesterday when you went out to buy something, I haven’t seen you two being disgusting together for a while. Haven’t touched you for so long. Maybe he actually has another woman outside? Saying he’ll wait until you’re an adult might just be a cover. Maybe he’s not interested in your flat figure at all, just wants to toy with your feelings, little girl.”

“The one who toys with people’s feelings is you, isn’t it?” The little Demon Lord sneered. “For the sake of pursuing so called power, didn’t you run to that Hero’s side? In the end you killed him, and you treated your own daughter as a tool. Do you have any right to say things like that?”

“Hah? Letting him occupy my body was already a bargain for him. Shouldn’t he die? As for my daughter, she was a tool I created in the first place. How I use her is none of your business.”

“Is that so? So you do care about your body after all? Even though you used your own body as a tool to lure others. What kind of Demon Lord is that? You say I’m embarrassing, but actually you’re the most embarrassing one, aren’t you?”

The little Demon Lord mocked the demon before her without mercy. She kept talking so grandly, acting high and mighty as a Demon Lord, yet what she actually did no matter how one looked at it was trampling herself.

“If stray dogs on the roadside could achieve your goal, would you shamelessly go seduce them too? You talk about Demon Lord nobility, but your actions are downright cheap. After going this far, what do you think the Demon Lord seniors of past generations would think if they saw?”

“You brat whose feathers haven’t even grown in yet, have you figured out the situation you’re in?” Enraged by such humiliation, Belonia grabbed one of the horns on Eiru’s head.

“Oh? Mad already? So a cold blooded thing like you actually cares about these evaluations? Is it because that noble mask of yours got torn off?”

With a mocking smile on her face, Her Majesty the Demon Lord continued ridiculing the demon who had stepped on her landmine.

“You think I’m not qualified to judge Demon Lords, and I think you’re not qualified to judge feelings. You want to belittle my Stupid Yuki? Oh lofty senior who thinks you’re so noble, in reality you don’t even have the qualification to carry shoes for my Stupid Yuki!”
