Chapter 1781 This Hero is Too Tyrannical (The Cat Who Naps Every Day)

The place that Listarte chose to cross was a grassland. In fact, according to the data she saw from Duanmu Huai, she shouldn't have come to such a starting point. But because she was scared to death by Duanmu Huai, Listarte didn't think about it at all and instinctively opened this place.

"What is this place?"

Looking at the grassland in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Although you said that we can't teleport directly to the Demon King, we can at least teleport to the Demon King's castle, right? Are we here for an outing?"

"That being said......"

"Interesting."

However, before Listarte finished her words, a voice suddenly rang out. The two turned around and saw a burly woman holding a huge sword, smiling and walking towards them. When she saw Listarte, her eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"How interesting, you are the goddess, right? Just as the Demon King thought, you came with the summoned hero..."

As she spoke, the woman looked at Duanmu Huai who was standing next to Listarte, and then she was stunned.

“…………Are you a hero?”

"…………………"

Listarte understood the other person's feelings very well. In fact, even she herself was not sure whether the man in front of her was a hero.

"No, I'm not a hero."

However, what Duanmu Huai said next completely shattered Listarte's fragile fantasy.

"I am an Inquisitor from the Inquisition."

"The Court of Inquisition..."

"The Inquisition's duty is to protect humanity and eliminate any threat to humanity at all costs."

Duanmu Huai raised his head, and the scarlet light emerging from the gap of his helmet was like the afterglow of a falling star.

"So, are you a heretic who threatens humanity?"

“……………………Hahahaha, hahahahaha!!!”

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Interesting, really interesting. Not a hero, but an inquisitor? I didn't expect such a bluffing development... So it seems that your numerical panel is also fake!"

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand and pointed at Duanmu Huai. Hearing this, Listarte was surprised.

"The numerical panel is fake?"

"That's right! This number is even higher than the Demon King's. How ridiculous! If you have such power, there is no need to come to such a weak area, right? Humph, I have seen through it all. It is true that the Demon King's army believes in strength above all else, but you think you can scare me away with such fake numbers, that's wishful thinking!"

Having said that, the woman clenched the giant sword and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"But it's fun as a hobby. In that case, I'll let you see the true power of me... Kaios, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and let you know what it means to be completely and overwhelmingly powerful!"

As the woman spoke, she turned the giant sword in her hand and inserted it directly into her body!

"Alas-----!"

Seeing this scene, Lisidad screamed in shock, while Duanmu Huai just stood there without saying a word, watching motionlessly. Then, the two saw the wound on the woman's stomach being torn open, and a pair of huge, dark arms stretched out from it. After a while, a monster with two horns on its head, a tail and wings, and a body even larger than Duanmu Huai, crawled out of the woman's body.

"That is evil..."

"Filthy, filthy demon!"

The roar like an explosion interrupted Listarte's words. Duanmu Huai suddenly accelerated, raised his hands and rushed straight towards the demon in front of him.

"A filthy and lowly being like you shouldn't exist in this world. Cry, shout, and then die!"

"Stupid humans!"

Facing Duanmu Huai who was rushing towards him, the devil was obviously disdainful.

"Your bluffing is of no use!"

As he spoke, the devil clenched his fists and stared at Duanmu Huai—then he swung a punch and hit Duanmu Huai.

At almost the same time, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and punched forward!

"Boom!!"

The two fists collided, and then something beyond Lisda's imagination happened. The demon's arm, which was as thick as Duanmu Huai's body, swelled instantly, then exploded and shattered, and the demon itself screamed and flew backwards. It hit the ground heavily, leaving a deep groove. Before the demon could stand up, Duanmu Huai fell from the sky and hit the demon's chest, instantly trampling its huge body to pieces.

"Uhhhhhhhhh!!"

The intense pain caused the demon to scream miserably, but Duanmu Huai turned a deaf ear to it. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the two sharp horns on the demon's head, and then used force to cut off the horns on the demon's head!

"No! Let me go!"

The demon screamed loudly, and opened its mouth, trying to scream for mercy. However, the next moment, the two sharp horns in Duanmu Huai's hands pierced into the demon's mouth and eye sockets like daggers, completely piercing its head.

The demon's body swelled with a shrill scream, and then exploded instantly. The huge fireball completely engulfed Duanmu Huai's figure. Listarda just sat on the ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of her. As a goddess, she could see the level of the demon, which was a level 66 demon king!

If it were the brave warriors that Listarte had guided before, they would have died if they did not fight desperately against such an enemy.

But now, the Four Heavenly Kings were killed so easily by Duanmu Huai! Could it be that...

At this moment, an absurd idea emerged in Listarte's mind.

Those numbers are not some kind of errors or bugs, but real?

Does this man really possess this kind of power?

"Dong...dong...dong..."

With heavy footsteps, a dark, tall figure slowly walked out of the burning flames. The double-headed eagle and skull embedded in the armor reflected the dazzling light of the flames. He raised his head, and the scarlet glow emanating from the dark helmet was full of blood and murderous intent.

Listarte stared blankly at him as he walked up to her and lowered his head.

"Take me to the Demon King, now, immediately."

"I, I understand......"

Facing Duanmu Huai's cold gaze, Listarte swallowed and nodded cautiously.

"According to Lady Isis's investigation, there are companions in Samur Town who are waiting to act with the hero..."

"unnecessary."

"Hey?"

"I am not a hero, but an inquisitor."

Duanmu Huai reiterated his identity again.

"But... it's just a different way of saying it, right?"

“Different duties.”

"But didn't you say that the Inquisition also fights to protect humanity?"

"That's true."

"Then there's no difference between you and a hero!"

"Maybe that's the case, but... maybe he is different from the hero in your mind."

"what do you mean?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Listarte couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, while Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and casually pointed to the nearby village.

"For example, if the devil took the people of that village as hostages and demanded that we surrender, or else he would kill the people of that village, what would the hero do?"

"Um……………"

Listarte thought for a moment.

"I will definitely find a way to rescue the villagers, and then fight the devil."

"Yes, that's what a brave man does."

"Isn't that the Inquisitor?"

"of course."

Duanmu Huai glanced at Listarte.

"My answer is, if the devil wants to kill, let him kill."

"……………Why?"

"The Inquisition does not accept any threats. As long as we can eliminate the demons, all sacrifices are worth it. Even if those people were killed by the demons to threaten us, it does not mean that we need to care about their lives. The Inquisition protects all of humanity, not a certain group. Although from a moral point of view, saving the people of this village may soothe your conscience. But if the demon runs away, it may even cause the death of a whole city. So in comparison, only a few dozen villagers died to eliminate a demon that could cause tens of thousands of casualties to humans. It is a very cost-effective action."

"………………………"

Stunned and speechless.

Listarte widened her eyes and stared blankly at Duanmu Huai who was standing in front of her. Although she was a novice goddess, she had seen several heroes, but this was the first time she had seen someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as Duanmu Huai.

"Are you really a hero?"

"I said, I'm not a hero, I'm an inquisitor."

Duanmu Huai turned around.

"I don't need you to understand my actions and thoughts, because this is the duty of the Inquisition. For an Inquisitor, protecting humanity is not a passionate romance, nor is it a voluntary labor driven by a sense of morality. It is a job that requires risking one's life. It's that simple."

"…………………"

Facing Duanmu Huai's answer, Lisi Dadai was speechless. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, other heroes were completely different from him. Those heroes saved humanity for humanity. Duanmu Huai saved humanity - although it was also for humanity, his perspective on the problem was completely different.

"Now, open the door and take me to find the other demons. I want to kill all these lowly, vile, and filthy creatures."

Listarte trembled for a moment, then reached out and opened the portal.

She had a bad feeling—this time, she seemed to have summoned a very powerful guy.
