Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 46 The power of choice

There is no doubt that the woman named A-Sion is deeply in love with the man named Godora.

She wanted to tell him loudly how she felt.

But, can I say now the words that I couldn't say before?
She was not really a person who only had the sword in her heart. Sometimes she even thought she was laughable. Her mind was so complicated, but she piled more and more things on the sword.

Is the sword just an excuse or a tool for me?
Is she truly devoted to the sword?

Even at this moment, facing Duo Luo's words, she had no way to refute them.

This man had probably seen through his own despicable thoughts long ago. It's said that it's impossible to conceal a person's affection for another person, and since this matter "hadn't been exposed," it was naturally the person being liked who "didn't want to." He must have known his feelings, so from the very beginning, he had no intention of accepting his feelings.

She could deceive herself by saying that A. Godola in the past was still young and didn't know his own thoughts, but Doro now, who is already in his thirties, should have this experience. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he should have the ability to make judgments.

So, A.Cion is just not liked.

As for the reasons why I'm not liked—there are simply too many.

She herself is well aware of her own meanness.

They looked at each other in silence. She felt that she should have left tactfully, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot and she was unwilling to move an inch.

She herself felt pathetic and shameless.

She is so shameless.

The disappointment in Duo Luo's eyes gradually accumulated. He felt that such a thing was meaningless. His former teacher looked even more embarrassed than he had imagined.

He didn't know whether he was disappointed in A. Cion or disappointed in himself.

Or, both.

"Why not decide the outcome with swords?"

Mo He's voice suddenly pierced the silence between the two of them, like a sharp nail piercing smooth glass, making a sound that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

It would be better to decide the outcome with a sword.

Dora and A. Sion's eyes fell on the Demon King Moher at the same time. Moher just stuck out her tongue in a cute manner, just like a girl of her age should be naughty and cute - but these words were not cute at all. It would be better to say that the Demon King's words were simply trampling on their hearts.

After A. Sion came to the mansion and met Dora on the first day, she never brought up the topic of swords again, and Dora would not mention it either.

But at this moment she spoke about this matter without hesitation, as if she knew nothing about their past and was just giving friendly advice.

There was no point in deciding the winner for either of them.

If two swordsmen were to express their feelings with swords, perhaps it would be a very romantic thing. However, after Duo Luo's ordinary iron sword broke, he never thought of getting another sword, even if it was just an ordinary sword that could be bought in Baixi Town.

This is enough to illustrate his will.

This person was definitely not unaware of what the two people were thinking, but she still deliberately said such words. She had the same bad taste as always.

Most of the time, Moher's bad taste would make people feel a little cute, but at this time, she really made the two of them feel a little bit hurt.

"Maybe this is a good decision."

However, Dora uttered a naive, idealistic statement: "The sword decides victory or defeat, or life or death. No matter how complex the emotions between people, when one dies, most of the feelings fade away. This is true for hatred as well as love. Just like when the Demon King was alive, the hatred harbored by many intelligent races was indescribable. Now, after his death, some people feel that 'perhaps the Demon King's rule wasn't so bad after all.'"

This is definitely not Dora's original intention.

A. Sion is so sure - but, is it really not?

She once thought she knew Dora very well, but did she really understand?
"Okay... Using a sword is a good thing."

She didn't know what expression she had when she answered that. Was it embarrassment? Guilt? Anticipation?
The wind blew around the manor's wall and blew on everyone's hair.

"Since we're going to decide the outcome with swords, let me prepare the weapons for you two to fight with!" Moher finally revealed his original intention. "I promise that this duel will achieve a satisfactory result for both of you."

As a matter of course, she began to prepare the weapon called "Cursed Sword".

To be fair, this weapon is not very powerful. It is nothing more than an ordinary sword with some special curse attached to it.

Weapons can be attached to various things - although people rarely choose curses.

After all, curses, no matter what, will cause a certain degree of erosion to the holder himself. Using a cursed sword is naturally regarded as "scum".

However, at this moment, a curse is very appropriate. Moher wanted to add only one curse to the sword -

"The curse of becoming a demon."

Whoever loses will become a demon.

Rose, who witnessed Moher cursing the sword, couldn't help but feel complicated.

I just feel that the Demon King Moher has many ways to turn people into demons. She can create vampires like Lisiduowei out of thin air, but she can also use "dead people" to create a demon, such as the birth of Rose. She can also make people become demons by cursing them in the same way.

She seemed to love turning humans into demons so much.

It is obvious that the situation of the demons in this era is really bad.

Why doesn't she let herself return to her identity as a demon first?
She herself clearly knows that it is better for her to function in human society as a human being.

"Why do you say that? They won't understand each other's true feelings through swords."

This wasn't the first time Rose had asked such an overreaching question, but this time was different.

She was ready to strike Moher—even though the thought was foolish. The backup plan Moher had left behind was probably enough to control her—even though Rose didn't know what it was. But the Demon King couldn't be defenseless against his own creations. After all, Lisiduowei had already betrayed him once.

Moh kept talking about reflection and so on, it was impossible for her not to be on guard.

But Rose was still ready to draw her sword.

"Rose, although you once served as a new hero—I have to admit, your thinking is still very naive." Moher didn't even turn around, concentrating on cursing the sword. "Let me tell you something. When you question someone's decision, you'd better have an alternative plan."

Rose was stunned for a moment.

"Just like when you were dueling with A. Godola at the time, you better have a plan to replace him - and it turns out that you didn't do a very good job."

The dark gas continued to seep into the sword.

"When you think that my suggestion of letting them duel with swords is not okay, you'd better have a better way to break the deadlock, rather than being ready to draw your sword against me after I say to duel with swords."

She picked up the sword and examined it carefully, looking at the mysterious patterns spread across it by the curse. She felt that her skills were still as excellent as ever. Her eyes finally shifted from the sword and fell on Rose. "Let's not talk about whether you can kill me or not. Let's assume that you kill me. Then what? Can you solve the problem of Godora and A. Sion?"

"Do you want him to return to his teacher's tutelage?"

"I……"

Rose was unable to answer Moher for a moment. She certainly didn't want Doro to return to A. Sion's school. A. Sion was a strange, twisted person who had been obsessed with A. Godola from the beginning. Doro would never be happy with that woman.

Rose could be sure of that.

Besides, the other party was the culprit who killed her - she knew what the other party was thinking. The other party thought she was one of the murderers who hurt A. Godola and that she had betrayed A. Godola.

Rose couldn't deny this.

That's why she stayed with Duo Luo, not asking for his forgiveness, but only hoping to give everything for him to atone for her past sins.

It was called a duel—the ones who should really be dueling were Rose and A. Cion.

"Speaking of which, none of you are as powerful as Lisiduowei, a creature who was born incapable of having the emotion called love. At least Lisiduowei did give up everything she had for the one she loved. If A. Sion could have done that back then, Dora wouldn't be here today."

Moher said with some emotion: "If you could do this, Rose, you wouldn't be questioning me here."

"I……"

That's not the case. I'm ready to dedicate everything to Duoluo. This life was saved because of Duoluo. The worst outcome for her is to return her life to him - she is determined to do so.

The Demon King Moher clearly did not take back her eyes, but her eyes seemed to still be able to see through reality and illusion.

"Sacrificing one's life doesn't mean you're willing to give everything. Often, death is just a form of escape. Just like when many humans came before me and then committed suicide with swords. To escape something they fear, humans will choose to give up their lives. What are you afraid of?"

What am I afraid of?
Moher didn't give Rose any more time to think. She simply handed the sword to Rose. "There are two swords in total, but I only added a curse on one that can turn people into demons. They look the same on the surface and have the same aura. However, as a demon now, you can more or less detect the difference between the two swords, right? I leave it to you to choose who will wield this sword."

The girl's smile was extremely profound.

Rose just felt horrified.
