Demon King – Chapter 879 – Smash It! Tear It Down Hard!

Bang bang bang!

The crashing sounds echoed throughout the entire space. The clash between the Demon Lord loli and the heavyweight ghost caused massive commotion. If this place did not have such a special nature, the building would probably have collapsed by now.

Waves of wind pressure generated by their exchanges swept past the Hero Girl again and again. She crouched low with her head in her hands, terrified she might get vaporized by some unidentified AOE from the two big shots.

‘What is going on? What the hell is going on?! Why did this suddenly turn into a hot-blooded battle manga art style?! Why did the two of them suddenly start fighting?!’

A string of questions flooded Xixia’s mind. She raised her head slightly to look at the scene of the two “gods” fighting. The madness on Shang’s face was genuinely terrifying.

The corners of Shang’s mouth were stretched almost to her eyes, her face twisted into a crazed expression that did not belong to a human at all. Although Xixia knew she had a lunatic side, she still could not connect this horrifying version of her with that silly, house-wrecking husky-like ghost from before.

“Just now… she was trying to attack me?”

Thinking back to that thrusting hand that had nearly pierced her face, Xixia felt a wave of lingering fear.

If Eiru had not pulled her just now, judging by the ghost toddler’s strength, her skull might already have been punctured.

‘But she had not done anything to her today, right? She had even taken good care of her, taught her all sorts of things, and sneaked out in the middle of the night against her parents’ wishes just to accompany her… So why was she trying to go for her throat like that?’

At the thought, a trace of grievance rose in Xixia’s heart. That suffocating feeling of doing a good deed only to get stabbed in the back made her eyes sting.

But this was not the time to cry. She was a Hero, after all.

Xixia slapped her own cheeks, steadied herself, and began observing and analyzing the situation.

But the more she watched the battle between the two “gods,” the more absurd it felt.

‘She was the Hero, right?! Her power had already been unsealed, right?! So why did it feel like she would get instantly killed the moment she stepped in?!’

The only reason she could even stay here without being blown away was thanks to her superhuman physique. If an ordinary person were standing here, just the aftershocks from a few of Eiru and Shang’s clashes would have been enough to send them flying.

“Whoa, ah—”

Losing her footing for a split second, Eiru was knocked backward. After adjusting her posture midair, Her Majesty the Demon Lord landed lightly beside Xixia.

This was where size and weight mattered in a fight. Unlike Shang, who weighed twenty tons, Eiru might have monstrous strength enhanced by magic, but her light body, light enough to be carried in one hand by an average person, made it easy for her to get knocked flying if she was not careful.

“Yo, Dummy~ This kind of fight is my first time too, so I guess I’m still a bit inexperienced?”

Turning her head with a grin to greet the Hero Girl beside her, the little Demon Lord casually raised a barrier with a flick of her hand, blocking another wave of pursuit from Shang. She looked ridiculously at ease.

“By the way, after we split up, were you with Heavyweight the whole time?”

Crossing her arms to catch Shang’s incoming strike again, Eiru took the opportunity to ask about what had happened after they separated earlier.

“Yes, I was with her the whole time. But after we came down here, she suddenly left like something urgent came up… So she’s an imposter?!”

Having been unable to figure out why Shang suddenly attacked, Xixia finally remembered that they had separated briefly. Clever as she was, she immediately concluded that something must have happened during that gap.

“No no no. She’s definitely the real Heavyweight… You can’t just casually impersonate someone who weighs twenty tons.”

The little Demon Lord waved her hand dismissively, then tilted her head to dodge a straight punch from Shang. At the same time, she freed one hand to block Shang’s attempt to attack Xixia.

“Then why? Don’t tell me her previous friendliness toward us was all fake?”

The moment the words left her mouth, Xixia rejected the idea herself. If Shang wanted to attack, she had countless opportunities earlier. There was no need to put on an act like that. And looking closely, Eiru had been purely defending the whole time. It was obvious she was trying to avoid hurting her.

“Well, her friendliness wasn’t fake. But the malice now isn’t fake either.”

As she answered, the little Demon Lord wrapped her tail around Xixia’s waist and flung her aside to dodge an incoming attack. Then she caught Shang’s incoming punch head-on. With a loud bang, cracks spread across the ground beneath their feet.

“If I had to guess… how should I put it? You’ve been brainwashed, right?”

In response, there was only Shang’s deranged laughter. It was clear that the Heavyweight before them had completely lost the ability to communicate like a normal person.

“Anyway, Dummy, go check behind that big crystal… If I’m not mistaken, that thing should be Heavyweight’s real body, right?”

“I already checked before. Her body is indeed inside. There’s no way it’s been stolen… And with you two fighting like this, how am I supposed to get over there?”

Between her and the crystal stood two battling “gods.” Looking at the visible air pressure collisions around them, Xixia seriously suspected this troublemaking loli was trying to get her killed.

“Oh, just go already. I’ll cover you~”

“If I die, I’ll haunt you as a ghost!”

She said that, but she still moved.

As she cautiously made her way toward the crystal, watching their fight filled her with unwilling frustration.

‘Wasn’t the Demon Lord and Hero supposed to be destined rivals? With this completely unequal level of combat power, how the hell did previous generations of Heroes even fight Demon Lords?’

‘Little Demon Lord: Is there a possibility that Heroes always fought in groups? And also, my combat power isn’t on the same level as the previous Demon Lords~’

“Sorry about this, Heavyweight. I can’t let you hurt that dummy, so I’ll have to get a bit rough~”

Seeing Xixia move, the little Demon Lord stopped holding back. She suddenly grabbed both of Shang’s hands. Adding a bit more strength, she temporarily suppressed her.

“Little Demon Lord! There’s a huge gap behind the crystal!”

At that moment, Xixia noticed the issue behind the giant crystal. But Shang’s body was still safely inside. There were no signs of it being taken away.

“OK~ I roughly get what’s going on now… Dummy, run toward the entrance. There’s an exit I left there. Leave this place first.”

“An exit? How the hell did you even get in here, Little Demon Lord?!”

‘Even Shang, as the administrator, could not freely enter or leave. Yet you could just make an exit whenever you felt like it? Was being a Demon Lord really this overpowered?’

“Mm… it was a bit violent. I just tore a hole in the space and barged in~ Hehe~”

As she spoke, the little Demon Lord even stuck out her tongue playfully.

“Then why didn’t you do that when we were trapped here before?!”

Grumbling and complaining, Xixia knew that staying any longer would only make her a burden. She followed Eiru’s instructions and ran toward the door to look for the so-called exit.

“Because the situation was different. I’ll explain later~”

“Oh right, Little Demon Lord!”

Xixia suddenly stopped at the doorway and turned around, her face full of displeasure.

“Hmm?”

“This is a rare chance. Help me vent some anger! You have to smash her place to pieces!”

‘…Wait. What exactly did she do at your house before?’

Whoa, from dog food suddenly became action~?!
