The wrong way to open the world of anime

This was considered an excellent performance for a teenage girl who had only been exposed to the supernatural world for a month or so, but it was far from enough to become the Demon King's successor.

But in this scene, why does it feel like there is something about Naruse Mio?

In addition to Leohart, everyone in the Cardinals' Court was also confused.

If Naruse Mio is too outstanding, it will also affect their next plan. It seems that they have to inform the superiors and prepare for the response as soon as possible.

Just as the people of the Cardinal Court began to act secretly, Qingqiu and his group finally arrived at the main hall and saw the Demon King Leohart, who had a dark complexion and purple magic patterns on his face.

This young demon king is quite handsome, but still a little inferior to Qingqiu.

Even in the palace, Leohart was dressed for battle, not the cumbersome noble dress that Ramsas wore.

Qingqiu's azure vertical pupils glanced at him, and soon he lost interest and lazily shrank into Sheila's arms again.

It was pretty much the same as he remembered, Leohart was good at close combat and didn't wear fancy and complicated clothes, which was a big part of the reason.

His strength is at most at the Demon King level, and when he explodes, he can fight with Dongcheng Xun.

The out-of-place black cat obviously attracted the attention of Leohart and his men.

But after taking a closer look, he didn't find anything special about it. It seemed to be just a pet of the noble girl Sheila, so he stopped paying attention to it.

There was no clichéd show of force or face-slapping during the meeting. Qingqiu and his group did not kneel, and no one on Leohart's side was stupid enough to use this as an excuse to make trouble.

After a brief introduction and a nod to each other, they soon got down to business.

The focus of this meeting is still on Naruse Mio. Whether it is Ramsas, Rukia or Shera, they are just supporting roles.

Leohart leaned on the throne, supporting his head with one hand, looking like a carefree and unrestrained king.

"Naruse Mio."

He stared at Naruse Mio and said slowly: "You are Wilbert's daughter, but the position of the Demon King..."

"Whoever wants to be the devil can be the devil."

Without waiting for Leohart to finish, Naruse Mio decisively followed the plan made before and interrupted, "I came to the demon world just to see my only uncle. As for those rumors outside, they are none of my business."

"I'm living a good life in the human world. Who would want to come to this shabby place where there's no cell phone signal to be a demon king?"

Looking at Naruse Mio's disdainful expression, Leohart suddenly laughed.

Even his good friend and secretary general, who was always steady and careful, pushed his glasses up on his nose helplessly.

Of course they knew that the rumor had nothing to do with Naruse Mio, and they hadn't even been here for twenty-four hours.

And if Naruse Mio really wanted to fight for the position of Demon King, she wouldn't have come here alone.

It's a bit embarrassing to say, but if Naruse Mio drags in the Gremory family, the Sidi family, and the current Sekiryuutei, Leohart will have no choice but to give up the position of Demon King.

There is no way. After the war among the three clans, each clan has a hard time.

But that also depends on who you compare with.

As a frontier area, the land that Leohart accepted was the most barren, not only in terms of resources, but also in terms of strong people.

To do this, he had to dig out the ancient ruins buried deep underground and strengthen his own power by studying ancient technology.

When it comes to ancient relics, those old guys in the Cardinals' Court are all experts.

This is another reason why Leohart was held hostage by the Cardinals.

Because of Naruse Mio's frank speech, the hall was silent for a while.

Afterwards, amidst the laughter of everyone, the originally tense atmosphere instantly eased.

"If you just want to go home and visit, I welcome you very much."

Leohart's expression was also much more relaxed. The incident happened suddenly and he didn't have time to collect information. He was originally worried that Naruse Mio and the Cardinals had joined forces.

Now it seems that the Cardinals were behind all this.

"In order to prevent rumors from spreading too much and affecting the lives of the residents of Demon King City, I will use the authority of the Demon King to inform everyone of your giving up the Demon King position."

Leohart said: "When the time comes, all you have to do is cooperate, show your face, and explain yourself."

"no problem."

Naruse Mio agreed readily. It turned out that young people are easier to talk to and don't beat around the bush.

The atmosphere here is harmonious, but the demons in the Cardinal Court can't sit still.

I thought that even if Naruse Mio didn't care about the position of Demon King, Leohart wouldn't be so relieved.

Naruse Mio's bloodline and status have always been a threat to his position as the Demon King. If it were them, this worry would not disappear as long as Naruse Mio was alive.

They couldn't understand why Leohart could trust Naruse Mio so easily, and they couldn't understand why Naruse Mio could give up the temptation of the position of Demon King.

Although the time is short, with their hype, if Naruse Mio really wants to become the Demon King, at least half of the nobles will support her.

What? You asked the common people for their opinions?

In the era when aristocratic families existed, common people had no right to speak at all.

Whether the ruler's power can be stabilized depends only on whether he can get the support of the majority of aristocratic families.

Just as Leohart turned around to discuss with Ramsas when to go through the process and announce the matter, and at the same time give Naruse Mio a nominal identity of a demon noble, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the passage on the side of the palace.

Along with the footsteps, there was also a pungent smell like cheap perfume. It was not bad, but after realizing what the smell was, everyone present frowned instinctively.

Among them, Qingqiu in the black cat form performed most obviously.

It's because his sense of smell is particularly sensitive in this form, and only garbage methods of collecting and replenishing will leave this kind of smell, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.

However, the black cat's irritable behavior was obviously not taken seriously by Leohart and Bergs, who leisurely walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty the Demon King."

Bergs, who was wearing a formal dress but looked nothing like a human and more like a purple-skinned monster, walked up to Leohart and bowed.

Chapter 426: Heroic Spirits Attack the City

He was told to bow and salute, but before Leohart could say anything, Bergs stood up on his own.

As if he saw the displeasure on everyone's faces, he even sniffed himself deliberately, then moved closer to Leohart and said, "I've been busy these past few days in order to take over the paradise left by Zolgear. After all, training new slaves is really troublesome, so it's inevitable that there's some smell on my body."

Before Leohart showed his displeasure, the handsome white-haired secretary-general beside him scolded him, "Bergs, don't be rude."

Bergs didn't even look at him. He doesn't even take the devil seriously, let alone a lackey like you.

After Bergs appeared, especially after he mentioned Zolgear, Naruse Mio and the other two all looked unhappy.

Qingqiu even thought about this demon who looked more like a purple-skinned alien, and wondered where he came from and what his purpose was.

When Bergs shifted his malicious gaze to Naruse Mio, a hint of awe flashed across his azure cat eyes.

Now is not the time yet. This character who is not even at the demon king level is not worth exposing.

In other words, with Naruse Mio's ability, she can handle it alone.

Not to mention that Rukia and Shera were there to watch.

Although Berges is an elite of the College of Cardinals, his strength is just average.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to pick up some leftovers only after Zokiel's death.

Bergs stared at Naruse Mio greedily. If the Cardinal's plan had not taken priority, he would have been unable to resist and wanted to taste what it was like to be the daughter of the former Demon King.

"Your Majesty Leohart, regarding the matter you just discussed with Naruse Mio-sama...shouldn't you consult the Cardinals first on such an important matter?"

Leohart's good mood just now disappeared in an instant. Seeing that he was no longer able to be soft, the Cardinals actually directly named him.

He said coldly: "Why? The Cardinals think that I am not a good demon king?"

"No, no, no, everyone has seen your Majesty's diligence over the years."

Although Bergs was disgusting, he still had a brain. He knew that he was no match for Leohart, so he naturally would not fight back directly.

If he dared to nod, Leohart would dare to take action.

Even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive.

You can't admit it directly, but you can express it in another way.

Bergs changed the subject and said calmly: "Although His Majesty Leohart did a good job, perhaps His Majesty Naruse Mio could do better."

"Oh, how can a little girl who knows nothing do better than me?"

"Of course not. But if it is with the assistance of the Cardinals..."

Bergs grinned, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Supporting Naruse Mio is fake, finding a new puppet demon king is the real thing.

At this point, even a fool could see what was going on. The Cardinals were determined to take action against Demon Lord Leohart.

"Hey, you said you want me to be you?"

Naruse Mio sneered: "Even if I become the Demon King, the first thing I will do is to wipe out the Cardinal Court."

Bergs didn't care at all about Naruse Mio's outrageous words.

Since he came out to get involved, he was naturally fully prepared.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, we will make you willing."

As he spoke, magic flashed in Bergs' eyes, and then a powerful air wave instantly appeared outside the Demon King's Castle.

There is a magic barrier in the Demon King's Castle. Even with the power of the Cardinals, there is no way to cause unrest directly in the city without alerting Leohart.

Two seconds later, the spatial fluctuations spread completely, and humanoid flesh monsters more than ten meters tall began to attack the city walls and the barrier.

Leohart's expression changed and he said angrily, "How dare you!"

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. This group of heroes was not arranged by us. Listen, these are the supporters of Her Highness Naruse Mio, who acted on their own initiative."

Bergs said no, but there was no attempt to conceal his smug expression.

As if to cooperate with his attempt to cover up, the demon controlling the humanoid monster shouted through the amplification magic: "You despicable person who stole the throne of the Demon King, quickly hand over our Princess Naruse Mio. As the daughter of His Majesty Wilbert, she should inherit the throne of the Demon King."

Maybe not many people know Naruse Mio, but Wilbert's fame is indeed useful.

Even though he has been dead for more than ten years, there are still many demons who miss and respect him.

There was no way. As a typical dove-like devil king, he not only reached peace with the hero, but also restored most of the people's livelihood after the war.

Demons are a race with a long lifespan. In peacetime, Wilbert's reputation will not be reduced for hundreds of years.

Naruse Mio was a little confused. Where did her supporters come from?

No, when was she kidnapped?

The young girl, who is not very worldly-wise, still needs some time to figure out the key points, but Leohart and others don't need that.

The previous plan obviously could not be continued under this circumstance. The most urgent task was to eliminate all the invading demons.

In just a moment, the walls and barriers were completely broken by the attacks of the monsters called Heroic Spirits, and the horrific attacks began to fall on the town.

Near the edge of the city wall, some unlucky demon civilians have suffered casualties.

No one cared about Bergs anymore. Leohart and the handsome white-haired Secretary General hurriedly mobilized the army and started defending.

Ramsas also teleported back to his mansion.

Qingqiu and Sheila discussed it with others and decided not to get involved in this matter for the time being.

This attack was arranged by the Cardinals themselves, and the old devil hasn't even appeared yet.

Moreover, in such a war-like situation, it would be of little use for them to go there.

Just like Ramsas went straight home to protect his mansion.

Things like rescuing civilians still require an organized army that is familiar with the city's environment.

The Demon King's Castle was filled with smoke and gunpowder, and it no longer had the peace and beauty it once had.

Sheila held Qingqiu in her arms, while Naruse Mio and Rukia stood beside her. The four of them looked up at the collapsed houses and the crying demon civilians in the sky, and their disgust for the Cardinals reached its peak.

"What the hell are these?"

Naruse Mio frowned and asked as she looked at the humanoid muscular monsters over ten meters long that continued to appear from the space cracks.

"This thing is called a Heroic Spirit. It is a weapon excavated from ancient ruins."

"The bigger the body, the stronger the combat power. A dozen meters tall is just the most common type, with roughly A-level strength. A twenty-something meter tall has S-level strength."
