Fighting you is like being in jail.

At least make a symbolic struggle; you're making me feel really awkward.

"I'm sorry, but I won't hesitate."

Simmel's firm voice rang out, her eyes filled with reluctance and sorrow as she looked at Leng Chang.

Even if he is a demon king, he would never give up the world he protects.

Just like when he fought against the demons, when the demons killed humans, he was the hero who saved them.

Witnessing Leng Chang's body fall backward, Simmel was speechless, only clenching her fingers tightly around the holy sword.

Poof!

Leng Chang collapsed, his blood staining the soil red at an incredible speed, his dying eyes staring wide-eyed at the sky.

It was as if everything had already ended.

I just felt that this battle was too easy.

Simmel looked warily at Leng Chang lying in a pool of blood, constantly reminding herself that it wouldn't end so easily.

This is the Demon King, the one who would rather die than not take a bite.

Will it end so simply?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. It was too simple, so simple that the battle was almost over in a single exchange.

"what happened?"

Frillie noticed Simmel's frown and asked worriedly.

Is it really over?

Simmel asked uncertainly, her eyes fixed on Leng Chang.

"..."

Frilian paused, then turned to look at Leng Chang on the ground.

She slowly raised the magic wand in her hand, watching with wary eyes.

"That's true... that demon king will definitely not end this easily."

Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi stared at each other with wide eyes, realizing that something was wrong.

This is extremely unusual; how could it end so simply?

There must be something else going on behind this!

It doesn't make sense for it to end so simply; there must be some other trick up your sleeve!

But what tricks does Leng Chang have up his sleeve now?

All the hidden pieces have been eliminated, and even he himself has now fallen.

In this situation, is there any chance of fighting back?

At this moment, Reinhard arrived with his troops and, seeing everyone on alert, asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that things can't end so simply."

Simmel turned to Reinhard and began to explain earnestly.

"This……"

Reinhardt didn't quite understand what was going on and didn't know what to do for a moment.

However, the next second, the dragon sword at Reinhard's waist began to tremble violently.

Crackling sounds!

The trembling voice could be clearly heard by those around him.

"This is!?"

Reinhard's pupils contracted, and he quickly gripped the Dragon Sword, immediately sensing that the Dragon Sword was in shock.

He suddenly became alert and quickly looked around, as if searching for something.

Something's not right!

Madoka Kaname also sensed something was wrong, as if some terrifying person was about to arrive.

Now that the most terrifying Leng Chang has fallen, who else can threaten everyone?

Do you like flowers?

Suddenly a gentle voice rang out, filled with loving concern.

Clang—!

The scraping sound of a longsword being drawn stimulated everyone's brains.

But the most panicked was Wilhelm, whose mouth was agape, his face trembling uncontrollably, and his pupils wide as he stared at the horizon ahead.

Her fiery red hair cascaded down her back, rippling in the wind, and her azure eyes were clearer than ever as she gazed tenderly at Wilhelm and Reinhardt before her.

The drawn sword was raised with just one hand, its cold gleam gleaming in the sunlight.

"There, Theresa!"

"grandmother……"

Wilhelm and Reinhard couldn't help but take a half step back, and even Celie and Beatrice's pupils shrank.

"who is she?"

Simmel didn't recognize him, but she became wary.

“The previous Sword Saint, Theresa van Astraea! My grandmother…”

Reinhard's expression darkened, and he spoke solemnly.

At this moment, Wilhelm took a trembling step forward and asked excitedly, "Theresia... how could you... even though..."

Theresa smiled gently and said earnestly, "Wilheim, it's been a long time. I've been resurrected."

"What!? Resurrection?"

Wilhelm watched with excitement, his eyes glistening with tears.

The next second, his vision blurred, and the flower-like girl appeared before him, the cold glint of her longsword dazzlingly bright.

Theresa swiftly slashed at Wilhelm with her sword!

when!!

The sound of steel clashing rang out before Wilhelm's eyes, and sparks flew through the air.

Reinhard deflected Theresa's attack in an instant and stood in front of Wilhelm with his eyes fixed on him.

"What's going on!?"

Wilhelm, oblivious to what was happening, had no idea what had transpired.

Theresa, however, missed her sneak attack and immediately jumped back to create distance, holding her sword to the ground and staring blankly ahead.

"Oh no! The Demon King has disappeared!"

Suddenly, Madoka Kaname shouted.

Suddenly everyone turned to look at the spot where Leng Chang had fallen. There was no one there anymore, only a pool of blood.

"Could it be..."

Simmel's face darkened; everything was already self-evident.

The Demon King! It's the Demon King!

Is this the Demon King's trump card?!

Despite having already defeated so many of his pieces, the problem was still not completely solved in the end.

The ominous premonition came true.

Just then, Leng Chang stood behind Theresa with his five fingers spread wide, as if manipulating a puppet on strings. His smile was wicked and sinister, and his eyes were filled with triumphant joy.

"Hehehehehe!"

"I have to say, it was so close, just a tiny bit more. But I am the Demon King! How could I fall so easily?"

As he spoke, he controlled Theresa to address everyone:

"Wilheim, will you kill them for me?"

A gentle, melodious voice came from Theresa's lips, but her empty eyes said it all.

"You, you, you—!!"

Wilhelm roared madly and charged forward with his sword, disregarding everything else.

"Give me back my Theresa!"

He aimed at Leng Chang and slashed at him with lightning speed.

when!

However, Theresa's sword was faster. The first strike mercilessly opened the attack, and then the second strike landed directly on Wilhelm's chest.

Pfft—!

Blood gushed from Wilhelm's chest as he was sent flying backward by the immense force, crashing directly into the ground.

“Give me back my Theresa…”

He muttered to himself in anguish, his outstretched, trembling hand frozen in mid-air.

"grandfather!!"

Reinhard rushed over to check the wound, and was immediately shocked.

The wound is too deep!

"I'll treat them!"

Madoka Kaname quickly ran up to him.

Suddenly, she sensed a presence behind her and turned around abruptly, only to see that the controlled Theresa was already slashing at her with a sword.

"when!?"

Madoka Kaname's pupils contracted, and she was caught off guard.

"Little round!"

Seria shouted, then immediately activated her magic: "Physical Defense Magic!"

boom--!

Theresa's sword struck the shield and bounced off, the force of the rebound lifting her hand just as she was about to raise it.

But the next second, Theresa swiftly turned her body and slashed at him with her sword once again.

"Go deal with the Demon King! I'll hold him off! Madoka, heal him! I'll defend!"

Seria shouted at Frillien and Simmel, unleashing all her magical power to reinforce the shield once more.

In an instant, Simmel, Frilian, and Beatrice ran towards Leng Chang's direction. Meanwhile, Madoka Kaname's eyes narrowed, and she drew her magic bow, aiming at Wilhelm who lay on the ground.

But at that moment, Leng Chang, facing the three men's attack, straightened his expression and ran directly towards Wilhelm.

"Want treatment? Did you even ask me?"

Chapter 261 He's here, he's always been here!

"Want treatment? Did you even ask me?"

As Leng Chang ran, his entire body erupted with a fierce aura, stomping heavily on the soil, the powerful force sending up mud flying.

He charged straight toward Wilhelm like an arrow released from a bow.

The speed was as fast as lightning, and even Simmel, who was in pursuit, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Whoosh-!

At that moment, Kaname Madoka's healing arrow flew towards Wilhelm at top speed; if it hit, it could instantly heal any injury.
