The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

In short, the language still needs to be organized...

One dish is already cooked, so why hasn't Irelia brought the ingredients yet? Didn't she say she'd go back and get them?

Could it be that her servants didn't prepare any ingredients at all?

"Never mind, there's still a lot to cook, it's not urgent..." Chloe murmured, then she picked up the sliced ​​eggplant... oops, the cooked eggplant and prepared to put it on the dining table.

Just as Chloe was carrying the dishes and about to step out of the kitchen, a white light suddenly flashed before her eyes... blinding her.

When Chloe's vision returned, she found herself in a familiar forest for some reason.

And then, a familiar figure in black robes appeared in front of her, reaching out to protect her.

In front of this figure was another one Chloe recognized... a black-robed loli.

"This scene... why does it look so familiar?"

Looking at this familiar composition, Chloe couldn't help but feel a phantom limb pain.

Chapter 110 The Hero Died Again!

Looking at the familiar "composition" in front of her, Chloe almost thought she had traveled back in time.

To be precise, it was like traveling back to one day earlier.

The figure blocking his way was clearly the missing Lucas, and the black-robed loli standing in front of Lucas...

Isn't that the mysterious person who tried to kidnap her before?

If it weren't for the fact that it was dark, the ground looked subtly off, and there wasn't a tall, black-robed figure present, proving she hadn't time-traveled, she would have blurted out "Holy crap!"

Even if she was certain that she hadn't traveled back in time, what was the reason she was here?

Wasn't she just in the Demon King's castle... or rather, in the kitchen of her residence? How did she suddenly appear here?

And... she should have been holding dishes in her hands, so why are they gone?

If it weren't for the tense atmosphere between the two people in front of her, she would have really wanted to ask what was going on.

However, before Chloe could even ask what was going on, the next words from the three people present gave her a general idea of ​​what was happening...

……

After reaching an agreement with Xiao Yan Yan, Stella, the Demon King and a high-ranking member of the cult, still had some questions for Stella.

Among them, the question she most wanted to know was how the Demon King Stella obtained the hero Reven and resurrected his body.

However, Stella, the Demon Queen, didn't explain much, but simply showed her the face of another black-robed figure beside her...

"You know him, right? As long as I find out that the burial place of the hero Li Wen is probably in the Elf Holy Kingdom, I can just have him take me there... It's not difficult at all. As for how I resurrected the body of the hero Li Wen... Don't think that just because you've researched a spell that can resurrect people, it's because my spell doesn't seem to have captured the soul of the hero Li Wen."

Demon Queen Stella said indifferently, "So what if a 'minion' knows Lucas's identity? In an organization like the Order with its clear hierarchy, as long as she tells Xiao Yan Yan to shut up, even if the Order's leader asks her, she won't reveal this information."

Let's just consider it satisfying her curiosity...

"I never imagined that someone else had developed a resurrection spell besides me. I thought I was the only genius..."

Xiao Yan Yan was somewhat shocked when she heard Stella say that she also had the resurrection spell.

However, she quickly came to terms with it... Although this cadre also knew resurrection magic, it was clear that he hadn't fully mastered it yet. What use was resurrecting an empty shell? Wouldn't he still have to ask her to summon the hero's soul?

However, compared to the slight shock she felt upon learning that the Demon King Stella could also revive curses, Xiao Yan Yan was completely stunned when she saw the expressionless face of the Shadow King Lucas. However, the extent of her shock could be seen from her violently trembling pupils.

As a member of the cult, she was very familiar with this face... After all, recognizing the faces of three of the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan" was a required test for promotion among the cult's members.

"Could this person be..." Xiao Yanyan asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"That's right, Shadow King. Any further questions?"

Xiao Yanyan quickly shook her head, indicating that she had no further questions.

However, she couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

So even the Shadow King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, is under this man's control? This is truly... amazing!

Even the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan are already members of the Order, so the liberation of the Abyss is indeed just around the corner!

Xiao Yan Yan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and even felt her brain trembling.

"No, why are you laughing so disgustingly?" Demon Queen Stella couldn't help but say in a disgusted tone when she saw Xiao Yan Yan's mouth stretched into a strange arc.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." After realizing she had lost her composure, Xiao Yan Yan's expression changed instantly, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

After seeing that Xiao Yan Yan was back to normal, Demon King Stella then got down to business with her:

"So, can I use your... [Heroic Spirit Summoning] spell now? Or are there any conditions required?"

Seeing that the Demon King Stella had brought up serious matters with her, Xiao Yan Yan also clearly explained the conditions for activating her spell.

First, you need a relatively intact corpse of the target... which we already have. Second, you need to consume energy to summon the target's soul.

This step is the most energy-consuming, and summoning a Saint-level soul requires sacrificing at least the energy contained in an artifact.

Ultimately, regardless of the method used, as long as life force can be injected into the corpse, the summoned soul will automatically merge with the body under the influence of the spell...

Looking at the life-filled empty shell of the hero Li Wen, this step should be skipped.

"It's that simple? What about the success rate?" After listening to Xiao Yan Yan's explanation, Demon King Stella asked incredulously.

"If it is confirmed that the hero's soul has not been completely destroyed, and it is summoned in a place where his soul energy remains... the success rate is 1000%! However, the most difficult thing is actually the hero's corpse and the corresponding price... everything else is easy to deal with."

Xiao Yanyan said confidently.

"Since you're so confident, let's not delay... Lucas, take us to 'this' coordinate."

Seeing the confident Xiao Yan Yan, Demon King Stella didn't waste any more words and immediately gave Lucas a coordinate.

Lucas then led them into a forest in the blink of an eye.

Or rather, it was a meadow in the forest.

"Where is this?" After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Yan Yan, who had been instantly transported to the coordinates, asked about the significance of arriving at this place.

"Speaking of places where the remnants of a hero's soul energy remain, this is the most suitable place... This is where a hero perished."

"The Demon Queen Stella said with a smile."

The land where heroes perish? I never imagined it was so close to my territory...

Xiao Yanyan thought to herself in disbelief.

She could sense that the teleportation distance wasn't very long; otherwise, she wouldn't have arrived at her destination before she even realized it.

And there was something else she couldn't understand... The hero's team never revealed the location of his death, only saying that the hero and the Demon King perished together in battle... How did this lord, being a demon, know all this?

Could it be that she participated in the battle between the Demon King and the Hero? Like the Hero's team?

Xiao Yanyan guessed it, but she didn't confirm it with the Demon King Stella.

She knew there were some things she shouldn't ask; knowing too much wouldn't do her any good...

……

"My lord, are you sure you want to use yourself as the price? This could potentially drain a god-level expert dry..."

When Xiao Yan Yan heard that Stella was going to use her own energy as a price, she immediately tried to dissuade her.

"Drain a god-level being? Have you ever seen a god-level being? Do you know anything about them?"

"Although I've never seen a god-level being, according to my calculations, even draining the energy of a divine artifact might not be enough to summon a saint-level soul!"

Hearing Xiao Yan Yan's advice, Demon King Stella was too lazy to waste words with her and simply waved her hand, saying:

"You don't need to worry about it. Just do your job and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"But... if your energy is insufficient, this incantation will actively absorb the surrounding energy... then we'll all..."

Xiao Yanyan said somewhat weakly, after all, this concerned her life, so she had to be careful.

"You chatterbox! Since you think my energy isn't enough, then this should be enough!"

The Demon King Stella, annoyed by Xiao Yan Yan's nagging, also impatiently lifted the grave of the hero Li Wen... revealing the fragments of the "divine artifact" containing immense energy.

Although Xiao Yanyan couldn't discern what kind of energy was in these fragments, there was no doubt that the energy in these fragments far exceeded that of ordinary divine artifacts.

"That's enough, that's enough. I'll start preparing now..."

After that, Xiao Yan Yan successfully constructed the resurrection spell... or rather, the [Heroic Spirit Summoning].

And it also successfully summoned... the hero himself.

That's right, Xiao Yanyan's [Heroic Spirit Summoning] spell didn't summon the soul of the hero Li Wen, but instead summoned the hero himself.

That is, Chloe, who was blinded by the sudden white light and looked completely bewildered.

As for the "body of the hero Li Wen" that was used as a summoning material?

Well… let’s put it this way… the hero is dead again!

Chapter 111 My Corpse? How is this possible...???

Demon Queen Stella frowned as she looked at the white-haired little girl who had appeared in the center of the summoning circle, then looked at Xiao Yan Yan beside her with a questioning gaze:

"What's going on? What happened to the promised resurrected hero? Instead, we have a person here!"

"I don't know either! Logically speaking, the hero should have been resurrected..."

Xiao Yan Yan was completely bewildered by this situation.

Her resurrection spell was originally based on a forbidden alchemy technique from another world—human transmutation.

However, she only referenced the framework and concept; the actual construction was completely different from alchemy. Therefore, the spell she ultimately created had the effect she had previously described... This spell should only be able to summon souls!

Even repairing the body requires other methods, which is why this resurrection spell requires a "relatively complete corpse"... at least the important organs cannot be missing!

Because no matter what, the foundation of alchemy, namely the principle of "equivalent exchange," still exists within this spell.

In theory, it is impossible to "create a person out of thin air"...

She had experimented so many times, but she had never seen a person summoned in this way.

And to make matters worse, what's with this white-haired loli? How could she summon something that has absolutely nothing to do with the "materials"?

If the entire spell hadn't run exactly like she did during her experiment, she would have thought something was wrong with her.

Since her spell is most likely not faulty, there must be only two places where the problem lies.

First, the hero's "corpse" was brought back to life by the adult beside her using unknown means beforehand; second, the materials used to summon the hero's soul were fragments of "divine artifacts" filled with unknown energy in the ground.

Looking at the "hero's corpse" standing in the center of the magic circle, Xiao Yanyan spoke to the Demon King Stella beside her:

"My lord, I think I know what happened... the hero's corpse..."

However, Xiao Yan Yan stopped talking halfway through her sentence and immediately shut her mouth, not daring to speak for the time being... she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Because after she spoke, the Demon King Stella exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, and even though this oppression was not directed at her, she still began to tremble.

What a joke! She's a half-step Saint-level person. Even the core cadres of the cult who are at the peak of the Saint-level that she has met wouldn't be able to make her lose the will to resist just by mental pressure.

Even the target of this mental oppression wasn't her... This was the most unbelievable thing for Xiao Yan Yan.

To possess such immense oppressive power... could it be a god-level being?

Thinking of this, even Xiao Yan Yan, who was trembling with fear, couldn't help but reveal a look of longing...and greed.

……

"Lucas, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to protect this little girl?"

Stella, the Demon Queen, asked Lucas, who was blocking Chloe's way, with great interest.

However, contrary to her seemingly "kind" tone, her mental pressure was directly applied to Lucas.

Stella, the Demon Queen, was indeed very interested in Lucas's behavior, but her question was an interrogation.

Although her behavior was somewhat contradictory, it was precisely an expression of her anger.

Lucas was aware of this as well.

As for why Stella was angry... it wasn't because Lucas went to protect that little girl who appeared out of nowhere, but because Lucas actually put on a guarded look towards her again.

It was as if they were about to become her enemies again.

In response to Stella's questioning, Lucas simply nodded solemnly and said in a firm tone:
