The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

"One more needed?... But it doesn't matter, there's still one master-level one... Take these two potions to your two high-level players and have them drink them before the competition. That will guarantee their advancement..."

As he spoke, Simmons pulled out two vials, each bearing the number "t" and emitting an eerie blue light.

"What kind of drug is this? Didn't they say they would check whether the contestants had taken any drugs before the competition? Did you talk to the judges about this?"

Looking at the two bottles of potion, Chris said with great interest.

"This is definitely a specially made 'potential overdraft' drug! It will absolutely not be detected, but the side effects are a billion times higher than ordinary drugs..."

"That doesn't matter, they're all 'consumables' anyway..."

……

While those two ill-intentioned people were talking, Chloe was also in Luluti's lounge, discussing something with Lulushin.

Chloe was eating lunch when she said to Lulu:

"The revival match? I don't plan to participate, and I'm actually quite confident in my speed... By the way, can I use magic to interfere with my opponent during the match?"

Since the cooldown of the [Disguise Card] had ended, and since this wasn't inside the church, she removed her magical armor.

"It's not mentioned in the rules... so it's probably okay."

Lulu thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Then there's no problem!" Chloe's lips curled into a wide smile. Since there were no issues, her plan could proceed smoothly...

However, there was one thing Chloe was still quite curious about—

"By the way, I'm a little curious, what exactly are you planning to compete in during the revival round after talking with those judges for so long?"

Chloe asked with some interest.

“Compared to rice…” Lulu replied, tilting her head.

"?" Chloe tilted her head in unison, seemingly not quite understanding what Luluxin meant.

Seeing Chloe's puzzled expression, Lulu pointed to the mountain of rice bowls on the table and said to Chloe:

“Your appetite is even more outrageous than mine, a dragon, so I specifically talked to the judges about this project… and in the end, I got them to agree.”

As Luluxin spoke, she subconsciously clenched her fist.

"Then I can just live however I want?" Chloe said, holding her rice bowl, somewhat bewildered.

"I had them arrange it this way because of you... But since you said you're confident you'll advance, I'm too lazy to discuss the details with those three kids anymore..." Lulu said lazily.

"Hmm...you're making me want to just go and participate in the revival competition."

……

Time flies, and halftime was over in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, all the contestants have arrived at the venue for the second round of the competition and have begun their pre-competition preparations.

The competition venue was no longer the previous venue; the contestants were taken to the front of a forest.

This is the "back garden" belonging to the imperial nobility, covering an absurdly large area, and generally speaking, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

After all, this place is home to magical beasts that nobles raise at great expense; it can be said that this place is a "hunting ground" specially made by the noble lords.

Of course, since this was a selection of heroes, the Empire generously opened this forest to the contestants.

As for the audience... they can only watch the live broadcast from inside the venue.

As for how the matches were broadcast... well, they were broadcast by placing a "monitoring spell" on each player to broadcast their match progress.

Of course, only one location can be broadcast to the audience at a time, and the host is responsible for adjusting the camera angles... This gives Lulu and Chloe a lot of room to maneuver.

After the contestants finished preparing, Luludi, acting as the host, used magic to read out the rules of this round of the competition to the contestants present:

"As you can see, this competition takes place in this forest. It's a test of speed to see who can reach the 'church' in the center of the forest. During the competition, the use of equipment or items, as well as any speed-boosting or recovery potions, is prohibited. Please keep this in mind."

"By the way, this assessment also involves a bit of luck... There are many magical beasts roaming in this forest. Although these magical beasts are not particularly dangerous, if you are unlucky enough to get entangled by them... then you will basically be eliminated."

"Alright, if any of you have any questions, feel free to ask me now. The match will start in two minutes."

Since the judges and the host had to stay in the venue to watch the contestants' performances with the audience, Lulu Xin, as the host, used communication magic to explain the rules to the contestants.

And because Lulu's words were only addressed to the contestants, she spoke rather casually. However, precisely because Lulu spoke so casually, the contestants had almost no questions, except...

"Hey, hey, hey? Can the host hear me? I have a question! Aren't we missing someone here? I heard that senior... 'Headless Horseman' also advanced? Why haven't I seen her here?"

This statement was made by Lance, the winner of the previous round.

He looked around and saw that there were only nine people, and the one who stood out the most in the previous round, the only one wearing heavy armor on the field, "Headless Rider Mami Tomoe," was not present. So he couldn't help but say something.

As a hero summoned from another world, Lance is very interested in this person named "Mami Tomoe".

He also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with the player.

Let's see if she's a "time traveler" like him.

If she really is a transmigrator... then following the "dual transmigration" trope, that person should be my "female protagonist"... I hope she's a beautiful older sister, or even better, Mami-senpai! ...If she has a head.

This is what Lance was thinking.

However, in response to Lance's question, Lulu Xin replied in a deep male voice:

"You mean Mami Tomoe? She's been on the court the whole time..."

"?" Several contestants, including Lance, expressed their confusion upon hearing the host's words.

They were on the field the whole time? Then why were there only nine people on the field, numbered one, two, ... nine?

However, a few players seemed to have noticed something, so they consciously shifted their positions, revealing Chloe who had been hidden by their bodies.

There was no way around it; Chloe was just too small, practically invisible among these muscular men.

However, Chloe, who finally "revealed" (had been there all along), also proactively acknowledged her identity:

"You're the headless horseman! Your whole family are headless horsemen! I already told you it's because I'm not tall enough..."

Chloe called out to Lance, then noticed that the contestants… that is, this group of burly men, were all staring intently at her. She glanced nervously at her right hand, and relieved to find the ring was still there, she continued:

"Tsk, what are you all looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a cute little girl before?"

The contestants were all staring at Chloe because none of them expected that this little girl would actually be their opponent.

Can a little girl who looks less than ten years old really have the ability to compete with them on the same stage?

It seems that this contestant number eighteen is really here to cause trouble... These contestants all thought the same thing as they looked at Chloe's sudden excitement.

Aside from Lance, although he was somewhat disappointed with Chloe, this flat-chested loli, he became excited again at the thought that it might still be a "raising" storyline.

So he quickly went up to Chloe, trying to get closer to her...

Lance walked up to Chloe and asked, "What is your name?"

"?" Everyone around Lance looked at him like he was an idiot.

Wasn't it supposed to be called "Mami Tomoe"?

However, Chloe could somewhat understand why Lance would ask that question. Just as his name was obviously fake to any transmigrator, her fake name was also obviously fake.

He was asking Chloe her real name before she traveled through time.

However, Chloe didn't have much affection for this "real hero" named Lance... After all, he came to her with a lecherous grin after seeing that she was just a little girl... Isn't that perverted?

If it were any other little girl, you'd be in jail by now!

Chloe thought to herself.

Don't ask Chloe why she knows so much...

As for how Chloe responded to Lance?

Of course, I'd join those who "look at idiots."

I can't exactly tell him her name is Li Wen, can I?

Moreover, she doesn't intend to reveal her identity as a time traveler here.

After all, there were members of the Abyss Order present... Chloe secretly glanced at the man named Chris.

"Alright, do you have any questions? If not, let's begin the competition."

Two minutes? That's fast?

The contestants were almost caught off guard by Lulu's sudden announcement, "The competition begins."

Aside from Chloe, who already knew Luluxin would pull this stunt... as soon as Luluxin finished speaking, she ran away in a flash.

Chapter 138 I'll jinx you all!

While Chloe was participating in the second round of the Hero Selection Tournament, Ilya also arrived in the Holy Kingdom of the Elves... or rather, she arrived near the Holy Kingdom of the Elves.

She was waiting for someone to come and take her to the Holy Kingdom of Elves.

After all, this is elven territory, and it's a semi-closed country. If Ilya wants to go in like this... she'll just have to blow her way through.

However, because Ilya had made quite a commotion along the way, she didn't have to wait long before an old friend took her into the Holy Kingdom of the Elves.

Since Ilya hadn't learned any flight magic, she relied on the impact of explosions to travel the entire way... Only a little genius like Ilya could come up with such a way to travel.

In short, the series of explosions in the sky as Ilya approached the elven territory were impossible to ignore.

The old friend who came to take Ilya to the Elven Holy Kingdom was naturally also an elven. Her name was Sofina, and she was a member of the elven royal family.

With her guidance, Ilya easily entered the interior of the Elven Holy Kingdom.

Knowing that the elves living here were extremely xenophobic, Sofina took Ilya directly to her home.

This is the core area of ​​this Elf Forest, next to which is a root system of the Elf race's "Tree of Life".

Although this is the core area of ​​the Elf Forest, Sofina's home is considered a remote place within this core area.

After all, this is just next to a root system; the real elven royalty all live on the main trunk.

Of course, Sofina lives in this place not because of her low status or because she is a concubine. Sofina is a proper little princess of the Elf race, and her strength has reached the average level of the hero team - Saint level.

With that kind of strength alone, no one in the Elf race would dare to ostracize her, let alone the fact that she is the Elf King's beloved youngest daughter.

Even the body of "Brave Levin" was buried near the Tree of Life only because she pleaded with the Elf King.

The reason she lived in this place was to keep vigil for "Brave Le Van".

Sofina's accommodation issue was that simple. Afterwards, Sofina brought Ilya to her home, invited Ilya to sit at the tea table, poured her a cup of tea, and then stared at Ilya blankly.

Since Sofina's personality is rather introverted... or rather, the kind of person who is aloof and indifferent, and given the elven concept of time, Sofina didn't feel like it had been long since she had seen Ilya, so she quietly drank her tea and had no intention of catching up with Ilya.

Ilya sipped her tea, and after a moment of silence with Sofina, she suddenly broke the silence, saying to Sofina:

"Sofina, your tea-making skills are still as good as ever... By the way, where are the others? Where did they go?"

Near Sofina's residence, Ilya did not detect any familiar presences, so she asked the silent Sofina.

"Outside." In response to Ilya's question, Sofina simply took a sip of tea and uttered two light words.

"Outside? Does that mean they're not in the Elf Holy Kingdom?" Ilya instantly understood Sofina's words.

Sofina nodded slightly in agreement with Ilya's understanding.

"Why are they going outside?" Ilya continued to ask.

"Merry seems to have run into a little trouble; they've gone to look for her," Sofina said calmly.

Ilya wasn't surprised at all by Sofina's answer... After all, it would be abnormal if she didn't encounter some trouble on the way...

So Ilya calmly started drinking tea with Sofina.

About half an hour later, Sofina, who had been chatting idly with Ilya at the tea table, seemed to sense something. After she went out briefly, she brought in three people.

These three people are Eustia with a smile on her face, Li Baixue with a tired face, and Meili with a face that looks like she deserves a beating.

Upon seeing Ilya sitting at the tea table, it was Melly who spoke first, her face radiating an irritating smugness:

"Oh, Ilya, you're here too? Sorry, I should have arrived much earlier, but I ran into a dozen super monsters on the way and got bogged down... I'm exhausted..."

As she spoke, Meili walked to the tea table and unceremoniously lay down on it.

However, judging from her appearance, she didn't seem tired. On the contrary, Li Baixue looked exhausted.

"You're still so outrageous... You actually managed to provoke so many super monsters." Ilya said with a smile as she looked at Meryl, who was lying lazily on the table.

Looking exhausted, Li Baixue dragged her heavy steps to the tea table and said to Mei Li:
