The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

"What's wrong with the system?"

Looking at the test results, Chloe couldn't help but complain in her mind.

This name... could it be that damn "system assistant" deliberately changed it to "get back at" her after being ignored so many times?

Chloe thought to herself, her eye twitching.

However, since she can't interact with the system assistant right now, she should just ignore these details.

If you care, you've fallen into the system assistant's trap.

So Chloe then looked at the armor's attributes—

[Quality: God-tier (fake)]

[Item Description: A set of magic-powered armor imbued with holy light and dragon energy for over a century. Due to the holy light, it grants immunity to heretical magic (100/100); due to the dragon energy, it grants physical immunity (100/100). These attributes will permanently disappear once the armor's durability is depleted. Note: Equipping this armor will automatically activate both attributes, consuming +++ mana.]

[Note: Its collectible value outweighs its practical value. Of course, you can "use" it if you want... Oh, right, you've lost your "tool," hahaha...]

Chloe: -_-#

……

In short, Chloe finally realized that this armor consumed magic power.

Lulu gave her this armor... was she overestimating her total magical power?

That's right. The amount of magic she had before was replenished by Ilya, plus the magic she had replenished by the food she ate. But judging from the amount, it should be the total amount of magic power that only a grandmaster-level mage would have.

A master-level mage wearing this armor can indeed maintain it for a long time by relying on mana regeneration... as long as they don't fight.

However, Chloe does not have the magic recovery capacity of a grandmaster. The magic she possesses is stored through her "Heroic Spirit" bloodline, which cannot be recovered through normal means, so it is impossible for her to achieve "balanced income and expenditure".

Furthermore, due to her "Heroic Spirit" bloodline, her body is unable to regenerate magic power on its own, and she can only replenish it through external means.

And it's also because of her "Heroic Spirit" bloodline that she's completely unaware of the extent to which her magic power is being consumed...

"If I had worn this armor for another ten minutes or so, this body made of magic would probably have become transparent again."

Chloe thought to herself.

She only realized that her body needed magic to maintain itself when it became semi-transparent.

If the magic power stored in her body is exhausted... she doesn't know what will happen.

If she were a "pure Heroic Spirit," she wouldn't be able to materialize before her mana runs out, but she wouldn't just die. But she's only a third of a Heroic Spirit right now... What if she just disappears like that?

With the inability to switch characters now, Chloe wouldn't dare take that risk.

Of course, even though her body only has one-third of the bloodline of a Heroic Spirit, it is still the same as an ordinary Heroic Spirit, and cannot recover magic power on its own.

So Chloe needs to find a way to replenish her mana, otherwise she simply won't be able to continue wearing this armor.

As for mentioning to "Lord Holy Dragon" and asking her to replace the armor with one that consumes less energy? While it's not impossible, she needs the "combat power" of this armor.

If it's just for ordinary disguise, Chloe doesn't need to worry about the magic consumption... after all, she can choose not to equip it and just "lie dead" inside this armor.

Success is achieved by surviving until the disguise card's cooldown expires.

But she had already decided to get involved in tomorrow's "Hero Selection"... She absolutely couldn't let anyone from the Order become a hero!

Therefore, she needs to replenish the magic power required to maintain this armor.

……

There are actually many ways for Chloe to replenish her magic power, such as eating, drinking recovery potions, or having someone else transfer magic power to her.

Chloe had tried replenishing her magic power by eating before. She ate ordinary food all afternoon, and the magic power she accumulated was barely enough to maintain the armor for more than ten minutes. The efficiency was very low. She would only consider using this method to replenish her magic power if she had no other choice.

As for using recovery potions, although the recovery efficiency is okay, they are too expensive. Buying a bottle of high-grade recovery potion costs several times more than the more than a thousand cups of milk she drank this afternoon.

Moreover, she needs to drink more than a dozen bottles of high-grade recovery potions to fully replenish her magic power.

That's right, Chloe had already tried the recovery potion's effects. She found that her body experienced no adverse reactions whatsoever after drinking it, except that the recovery effect was only one-tenth that of a normal person...

It is precisely because of this one and only "side effect" that Chloe, no matter how "rich" she is, cannot drink recovery potions indiscriminately... Although she keeps a few master-level recovery potions under her skirt, these are for emergencies, you could say they are for saving her life, so of course she can't use them as consumables!

So Chloe began to consider the last method of replenishing mana...

If someone else helps her replenish her magic, she can indeed restore her peak magic level in a short time, but this requires someone to act as her "power bank".

It seems that only the Dragon King, or rather, the "Holy Dragon Lord," can help her now.

Hmm... Chloe said she wasn't very familiar with Luluxin, and besides, Luluxin was nominally her "aunt," so it was indeed difficult for her to ask Luluxin to help her replenish her mana.

After all, the idea of ​​having someone else help replenish magic power is bound to lead to some scenes that viewers "enjoy"... I'm referring, of course, to the "transfer of power" scenes in martial arts novels like Jin Yong and Gu Long, or the magic replenishment scenes in Magical Girl So-and-So.

While magical girl themes aren't entirely out of the question—after all, Lulu is a dragon, and "dragon's saliva" is supposedly a great tonic—it would most likely fail to pass censorship, so let's forget about it.

Finally, Chloe gritted her teeth and asked Lulu to help her replenish her mana...

Then Chloe gained the privilege of getting healing potions from any church she could find.

That's right, Luluxin gave it to her... Looking at Luluxin's loli-like appearance, Chloe had forgotten that although Luluxin was a demon, she was also the "Holy Dragon" of the church, and her power within the church was not insignificant.

Then, on that very day, all the healing potions stored in the church's warehouse vanished without a trace...

……

After Chloe finally settled in at Luluxin's place, Luluxin talked to Chloe about what she had overheard in the alley.

"I saw you eavesdropping in the alley earlier, so you knew about the 'Abyss Order,' right?"

"The Abyss Order? So that's what the order is called? Of course I know. I'm here thanks to this 'Abyss Order'..."

Chloe replied with a cold laugh, and the words "Abyss Order" were deeply imprinted in her mind.

So the cult that's been causing trouble all along is called the "Abyss Cult"?

It feels so tacky. Even calling it the Diablo Order would sound more sophisticated.

However, I've remembered all the things the Abyss Order did to me...

Chloe thought viciously to herself.

However, Lulu was a little confused by Chloe's answer, so she cautiously asked Chloe to confirm:

"Um...didn't Lulum tell you...that's the full name of this order?"

"Lulu said it was for my safety that she didn't tell me... Is there really a problem with hearing this name?"

Looking at Luluxin, whose expression had suddenly become cautious, Chloe said with a blank look.

It's just a name, what's the big deal? Aren't you making a fuss over nothing?

"Damn it, it was my carelessness. I shouldn't have told you about the Abyss Order... I need to go apologize to Lulum!"

After receiving an affirmative reply from Chloe, Lulu immediately showed a look of utter astonishment and said she would go to apologize to Lulu.

Chloe: ?

Chapter 132 After being an undercover agent for hundreds of years, has he finally gone mad?

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad..."

Lulu said she wanted to apologize to Lulu, but in front of Chloe, she pulled out a 30-meter-long "dragon-slaying sword" from somewhere and looked like she was about to commit seppuku.

Chloe quickly stopped Lulu.

Although Lulu, who had been stopped by Chloe, put down her sword, she still cried and begged for forgiveness... Then, in front of Chloe, she pulled out a thick, black object...

Holy crap, isn't that a VDF-31A intercontinental ballistic missile? Where did Lulu Xin pull that out from?

Chloe instantly recognized what Lulu had pulled out... This was much more exciting than any "royal flush"!

Chloe had wanted to complain for a long time: Lulusin was clearly not a transmigrator, so why did she have so many items from another world?

But now Chloe clearly has no room to care about that... You say you're going to apologize, but what are you trying to do by pulling out a missile?

I think you're not trying to "apologize," but rather trying to drag me down with you!

"Calm down!!!"

Chloe clung to Lulu's leg and cried out, almost kneeling down to beg her.

Then Chloe, clinging to Lulushin's leg, remembered something important—oh, Lulushin is a dragon, this thing probably can't kill her...

If the missile she has really explodes, I won't be the only one who dies!

Why the hell?

So Chloe stopped Lulusin even more "vigorously"... well, for her own life.

After trying to stop her for a while, Chloe, feeling a bit tired, gave up... Let whoever wants to stop her, I'm just lying here waiting to die.

The dignified Church's "Holy Dragon" and the Demon Clan's "Dragon King" are causing more trouble than a naughty child?

It's just a small matter, isn't it? Is it really that serious?

Or has she finally gone mad after being an undercover agent for hundreds of years?

Chloe, lying flat on her back, couldn't help but complain in her mind.

If I didn't know that if you really wanted to "apologize," I actually couldn't stop you at all?

If you really want to apologize, don't pull out those random things. At least pull out a communication scroll!

Are you trying to show off all these weapons and equipment to me? But you can't actually give them to me...wait?

By the way, could I perhaps add my field to the database...?

……

"You couldn't find the communication scroll, could you?"

About half an hour later, Chloe, seeing Lulu still constantly pulling out strange gadgets, thought of this possibility and couldn't help but ask.

"Am I not looking for it now? Once I find it, I'll go and commit seppuku for Lulum, using this 'Blue Rose Sword' that's said to have slain a dragon..." As she spoke, Lulushin pulled out another "divine weapon" whose authenticity was unknown.

"Didn't you say you couldn't find it? Here, I'll give you one." Looking at Luluxin who was still showing off her equipment, Chloe handed Luluxin the scroll that allowed her to communicate with Lulum.

However, Lulu was stunned when she saw the scroll Chloe handed her.

Seeing Lulu's stunned expression, Chloe tilted her head:

"Didn't you say you were going to commit seppuku to apologize to Lulum? What are you standing there for? Take it!"

"Um, I..." Luluxin began awkwardly, but before she could finish, Chloe shoved the scroll in her hand into Luluxin's hand.

"Is it ready? Just pull the scroll and you'll see Lulum."

"Well, I was just driving..." Lulu panicked a little and was about to tell Chloe that she was joking, but Chloe continued forcefully:

"Open it up! I'll count to three, and if you don't open it, I will!" Chloe, who had guessed what Lulu was going to say, said with a dead fish-like expression.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm a child?

Or was she testing whether I recognized these props? It doesn't seem like it... Couldn't she just ask me directly? Was it necessary to test me like this?

And another thing, the contrast in the "Holy Dragon Lord's" personality is so drastic that Chloe is starting to question her existence... It's not like she hasn't met the "Holy Dragon Lord" before; the "Holy Dragon Lord" used to be so arrogant... He always called "him," the hero, a piece of trash...

Or perhaps... she's been undercover for so long, and she's using these "illnesses" to relieve her emotions?

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have teased you!"

Hmm, it does seem like she's having a bit of an episode.

Chloe thought to herself as she watched Luluxin immediately kneel down and apologize after being threatened by her.

I should ask Lulum. It would be troublesome if Lulum really had some mental problems... Chloe thought to herself, and then she began to contact Stella through the soul contract.

……

Lulu seemed to have really been "ill" before, but fortunately her condition was not serious and she quickly recovered.

Having recovered, she sat upright opposite Chloe, and said to Chloe with a serious expression:

"I was just joking. Although I did accidentally tell you about the Abyss Order, you are, after all, chosen by 'Mistletoe,' so there shouldn't be any major problems..."

After regaining her composure, Lulu said in a calm tone, as if she hadn't done any of those things.

"Hmm..." Chloe simply gave a cold "hmm" in response to Lulu's long string of words, as if she had already seen through it all... or rather, she had seen through Lulu's previous actions as a joke.

Seeing Chloe's all-knowing expression, Lulu smiled awkwardly; she had indeed embarrassed herself just now.

Let's get down to business...
