Fulilian: The Little Master Who Doesn't Understand Love

Chapter 257 The Demon King's Actions

The distant northern lands are shrouded in snow that never melts, and even the human race, which is gradually becoming active on this continent, is unwilling to expand its sphere of influence here.

After all, besides the harsh natural environment, this place is also the stronghold of the demon race, and it is common for them to be attacked by demons every day.

In the northernmost region, the majestic Demon King's Castle sits atop a mountain peak.

The attack by Celie and Lord a few years ago nearly turned this Demon King's castle into ruins, but in just a few short years, all the wounds have disappeared.

The city wall had been repaired and even reinforced, and some dark magical runes had been added to it, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

The outer magic array was layered upon layered, with an impossible number of defensive barriers, each layer stronger than the last. Even if Lord and Celia were to come in person, they probably wouldn't be able to break through them as easily as before.

Deep within the castle lies a secret chamber constructed from a special mineral.

The Demon Queen Annalize, a unique being born from the land of fallen gods, slowly opened her eyes.

Deep within her pupils, it seemed as if an incredibly viscous black mud, capable of devouring everything, was slowly flowing. It was a power from a forbidden place in the world, which had now perfectly merged with her, becoming one with her.

An indescribable terrifying aura emanated from her body. At this moment, Anna Lizard had completely become a walking amalgamation of natural disasters. If anyone unknowingly came into contact with her, they would probably be corrupted by this aura in an instant.

An ordinary person would instantly lose all reason and become a berserk being until the moment their life ends.

Only powerful mages, especially clergy who have studied holy magic, can resist this corrosive force for a short time.

Anna Lizard moved her fingers slightly, feeling the unprecedented power within her body, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

finished.

With a slight thought, an invisible wave emanated outwards.

A moment later, the heavy stone door of the secret chamber opened silently, and a figure walked in.

With a pale face and an aura of death emanating from him, he was none other than Finn the Dead, one of the Seven Sages of the Fallen.

“Your Majesty,” Finn bowed slightly.

The Demon King's gaze fell upon him, a gaze that seemed to possess a tangible weight, causing the aura of death surrounding Finn to momentarily freeze.

"Has anything interesting happened on the mainland during this time?"

Finn bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are two noteworthy events, both of which have occurred in the human realm."

"explain."

"Firstly, the human kingdoms in the south and west have been completely integrated by a country called the 'Unified Empire,' which has even incorporated most of the mages within its borders into the ranks of court mages."

In other words, it's highly likely that mages will appear on the battlefield of the upcoming human infighting, which presents a good opportunity.

"What is the other one?" the Demon King interrupted Finn.

Anna Lizard had little interest in this; the rise and fall of human kingdoms meant nothing to her.

If it weren't for the two great mountains, Lord and Celia, protecting these humans and suppressing the development of the demon race, the demon race's power would have long since spread across the entire continent.

At that time, these humans didn't even have the chance to fight among themselves; they could only try to survive under the oppression of the demons.

Seeing that His Majesty the Demon King showed no interest in the infighting among humans, Finn continued, "In the Kingdom of El, Saint Celia has reached a cooperation agreement with the current Emperor of El, building a magic tower and founding an organization called the Continental Magic Association, declaring that it will teach all those with magical talent, regardless of race." "Oh?" A subtle fluctuation finally appeared in the Demon King's voice. "That Celia? Has she finally stopped being content to stay in that forest and started building her own power? That's quite something."

She paused for a moment. "That doesn't make sense either. Given his personality, he wouldn't do something like that. It must have been Lord's suggestion. That's interesting. What has he been up to lately?"

Finn paused for a moment before replying, "Aside from the incident in Crescent City not long ago where he sabotaged my plans and annihilated my entire monster army, there have been no other clear reports of his whereabouts. He seems to have been staying with Celia, focusing on the construction of that Magic Association tower."

"You went to become an architect?" The Demon King chuckled softly, his tone unreadable, whether it was disappointment or something else. "Why are you the only one? Where are the other Seven Sages?"

"Lord Livale is currently commanding troops and training the newest monster army. Lord Beze is campaigning in the eastern region. As for Lord Mahat... we have lost contact with him temporarily since Lord and Celie's attack."

"Is he hiding?" the Demon King muttered to himself. "Coward, never mind him."

Her tone was nonchalant, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

She wouldn't care even if all seven of the Seven Sages were dead.

The only person she truly cared about from beginning to end was that one.

That is, Lord.

The Demon Queen slowly emerged from the secret chamber, the aura of black mud flowing around her growing stronger, forcing Finn, who was following behind her, to keep a certain distance.

This aura was so terrifying that even demons found it hard to resist.

“Since the world’s will has already positioned me as the legendary villain who destroys everything, and even the holy sword Esterian has been alarmed…” Her voice carried a hint of mockery, “then I shall do something more befitting of this identity.”

The demon race has been suppressed by Lord and Celia for thousands of years.

They had no choice but to lie low in this wild land, and dared not launch a large-scale attack on the world or on the human race.

But now, I've come myself.

Let me ignite this suppressed rage and unleash the demons' destructive desires.

Only in this way can the story progress.

She eagerly awaited the arrival of the legendary hero to vanquish the Demon King.

She was even more eager to see if the man would, as she had predicted, step forward again and try to find a solution to her problem.

"Pass down the order," Demon Queen Annaliz's voice suddenly turned icy cold. "All demon legions, launch an attack on all human territories!"

She thought for a moment and added a crucial order: "Report to me immediately if Lord or Celia is spotted on any battlefield!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Finn bowed his head deeply, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

His Majesty has finally chosen to take action against the human race!

He immediately turned and left to deliver this order, which was enough to cause bloodshed across the entire continent.

The Demon Queen stood alone, gazing south, as if she could see the tower under construction, and the person she had longed for for a thousand years.
