Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 153 The Only Possibility

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the calm lake, shining brightly, and it looks like fish are swimming on the lake.

A woman with long purple hair stood in front of the lake. She was wearing a long black dress and looked mysterious, noble and elegant.

"Nifede, are you thinking about him again?"

Hearing these words, the End Song Yin Nifede could not help but turn around and look at the woman who was talking to him, "Curse Song - Hana", who was one of his deputies in the Curse Master Alliance.

"Just standing here and admiring the sunset and the afterglow is like considering him?"

"That's not hard to guess, Nifed. He's the only one who can leave you bewildered—you only come here when you're lost."

Hana walked over to In Nifede and said, "What happened in the Elven Kingdom is no secret. There were so many leaders from all the races and forces there that day. They witnessed his arrival and killed the Elven Queen. Even if the Elven Queen herself isn't as powerful as you, in the Ancestral Land, with the Elven Mother Tree, you can't defeat her."

She stated this quite directly: "So, the world already knows that the hero is not only unfading, but even terrifyingly powerful. If he wants, he can take the head of anyone in this world and make a person's brain no longer belong to him. Faced with such an existence, who can remain calm?"

Yin Nifede withdrew his gaze and returned to the calm lake. "So, what do the other allies think? Do they want to push me out to face his wrath? I heard his hair is still gray."

"I think many people have the same idea, but you are very powerful, so no one dares to speak it out directly. However, it is not ruled out that someone will contact the hero privately to test his attitude. If they receive the hero's instructions, I am afraid that some people will be able to gain enough courage from it. At that time, resisting you may not be just talk."

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

Yin Nifede's gaze lingered on the water. "We assisted him in his rebellion against the Demon King in order to secure a better life. We betrayed him because he failed to fulfill his promise. And now, we have no choice but to submit to his immense power, even forcing a 'culprit' like me to pay the price. So why did we assist him in the first place?"

"Of course this is unfair, Nifed." Hana stood with her, looking at the water together. "But so what? This world doesn't guarantee rewards for hard work, or rewards for choices and sacrifices. It's not uncommon for efforts and sacrifices to yield unsatisfactory, or even terrible, results. As the leader of an alliance, such thoughts are childish and naive. I don't need to teach you this."

Yin Nifede could not deny such words.

The idea that hard work will be rewarded is actually a very luxurious thing... She is clearly aware of this. If you pay the price, you will definitely get the reward?
It would be a wonderful thing if all efforts would be rewarded.

From the perspective of the Curse Master Alliance, it actually doesn't matter whether the decision is correct or not, because for many organizations in this world, it is no longer a question of whether to make money or not, but whether there is still a chance to continue to exist.

Who knows if the hero will suddenly become violent?
He was able to suddenly descend upon the Elf Kingdom and kill the Elf Queen some time ago. Will he suddenly descend upon the Curse Master Alliance later?
Now various small-scale local wars have broken out in the world. Apart from that, what is the first thing the major organizations do?
Hide!

Using magic, curses, alchemical props, and various other means to hide the location of one's headquarters, regardless of whether it works or not, is always a kind of psychological comfort. Preventing heroes from finding oneself is the simplest solution, whether one supports the hero or betrays the hero.

En Nifede was well aware of all this.

It was precisely because she knew all these things that she came to the lake and looked at the water - it allowed her to calm down a little.

“Are we wrong?”

"So, right and wrong are meaningless. We're not strong enough to change the world, so we can only adapt to it. If we had the power of a hero, then no matter what happened, we could act according to our own wishes." Hana spread her hands helplessly. "But we don't have that power. So, in the face of the world's changes, we can only change ourselves. Make it difficult for ourselves to survive. This is how we've always lived."

Curse Master——

In the demonic realm, it is considered a power that only weak and sinister individuals can learn and use, and among humans, it is considered an "ominous" power.

A power that will not be favored or cherished no matter where it is.

Struggling to survive is the norm for curse masters. Generally speaking, normal people would not learn to cast curses.

There are so many broad paths to choose from in the world, so many choices to live under the sun. Those who eventually become curse masters always have some helplessness of their own. Perhaps they are desperate, or perhaps for some other reasons - or perhaps they are simply bad people... The group of curse masters is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous groups in the world.

Such a group is really... "If, I mean if, I am killed by A. Godola, will he continue to attack the Curse Master Alliance?"

Hana tilted her head and looked at the other person. "Are you serious about saying that?"

"If it's really necessary."

"Don't say such ridiculous things. Do you think anyone will be grateful to you?"

"I didn't say this to get any thanks from others."

Yin Nifede's expression was calm. "After all, if this is bound to happen sooner or later, perhaps actively seeking such an outcome would appear more... respectable. If one resorts to every possible means for survival, whether it's escape, conspiracy, or shameless flattery—if one wants to survive, one must ultimately choose one of these options. However, this is obviously meaningless. Even if it's ugly, a desperate struggle will ultimately lead to death. It's better to face death head-on and retain some heroic spirit."

Decent.

The group of curse masters is actually very disgraceful.

After all, the next job is often to find dirty and tiring work, but correspondingly, what is most lacking is often emphasized the most - this group is the one that pays the most attention to decency, even more than the people in the Magician's Guild, which is mostly composed of nobles.

Everyone dresses very formally, and no matter what they do, it is as serious as attending a party.

There are also many so-called internal "rules".

Many people even call themselves "artists", and they talk about the so-called "art of cursing", "art of killing", "art of assassination", "art of torture"... Many people who are not familiar with the Curse Master Alliance will think that it is an artists' association.

They always dress themselves up as noble and elegant.

"What a Curse Master-style proposal. It's a good remedy, if he agrees."

In Nifede then took out a plan and handed it to Hana: "This is the plan sent by the wise king."

Hana took the plan and looked through it carefully, her expression constantly changing.

En Nifed then asked, "What do you think?"

"How do you see... does he seriously want to kill the hero?"

"Shadi and Adeline seem to think the Wise King is serious about killing A. Godola, but to me—this is like a suicide plan, detailing how we will end up dying."

Hana closed the plan. "As a curse caster, I can only say that I feel the same way... This plan involves only the highest-ranking forces, a plan about all the grudges. If the Hero and the Demon King can't be killed, then everyone will die there. No one else will be involved. The leaders' deaths mark the end of the past, leaving the world with only the Hero and the Demon King, or perhaps just one of them... With them as the protagonists, the world's pages will be turned anew. It feels like that."

"You really feel the same way, don't you?" Yin Nifede was not surprised by Hana's answer. "I haven't told Xia Di and the others about this feeling, and I don't know if they feel the same way as me. Maybe they are already prepared."

"Are you going to carry out this plan?"

"If this plan can allow the Curse Master Alliance to continue, then it is worth implementing."

Yin Nifede placed a hand on Hana's shoulder. "I believe the Wise King has already made all the arrangements. After his death, there might be an immediate coup in the Human Central Empire, and the Hero Faction will become the leader of all factions. I want to give you the same mission, Hana. After I die, you will become the president of the Curse Master Alliance. Between the Demon King and the Hero, you will make a choice based on your own judgment."

Among the Demon King and the Hero?
“But they…”

Aren't They united as one now?
Yin Nifede didn't directly answer her doubts, but continued, "The Demon King was once defeated by the Hero, but now she has returned. Do you think such a being would be willing to be defeated by the Hero? At least, what the Demon King did before tells me that she is not willing to do so. So the Demon King's return is actually something to look forward to. With the Hero now so powerful, the only one who can possibly defeat him is the Demon King who has returned, even more powerful than before. But who is more powerful... only you can judge for yourself. I can't make that judgment."
