It’s all done.
A sinister smile appeared on Denesor’s face.
When Hades Crohiten killed Angelica, he would completely fall into my hands.
“Humans are all the same.”
Becoming the Demon King to save Angelica, Denesor couldn’t even remember why he became the Demon King in the first place.
Even the only remaining source of anxiety would disappear the moment Angelica’s life ended.
“A little regrettable, but there’s nothing I can do.”
If he hadn’t developed an affection for that peculiar human during that time, it would have been a lie.
Hades Crohiten and Angelica, the latter was the one Denesor wanted to spend eternity with.
Despite being blocked and endlessly frustrated, Angelica, filled with various contradictions, was much more interesting than the completely stifling Hades.
But ultimately, what fell into his grasp was not Angelica but Hades Crohiten. Denesor decided to think positively.
Less interesting, but much more powerful, there would be many ways to make use of her.
“I can make her an even stronger Demon King.”
It was annoying that the useless notion of having to protect humans still lingered, but even that personality trait would disappear with Angelica.
Denesor savored every moment as he headed towards the prison.
When he heard the news that Hades would be executed by order of the Demon King, he was already looking forward to seeing the expression on his former master’s face.
With a creaking sound, the prison door opened along with the sound of coughing from Denesor. After transforming into a human form for the first time in a while, the stale air felt strangely unpleasant.
“Come to think of it, I couldn’t hear anything at all.”
If that was the case, the sacrifice would only realize the reality when death was imminent.
Denesor bowed his head to lift up the still figure of Angelica.
And…
“What’s going on?”
Denesor shouted, but the situation remained unchanged.
“Where did you go?”
The prison was empty.
I lay quietly on the floor, lost in thought. Although everything happening now exceeded my expected range, it wasn’t as desperate as I thought.
Think about it.
Living well and adapting, I suddenly became a time-limited saint, and then I died.
As shocking as it might be, it was probably Hades’ death.
“But Hades didn’t die.”
Even though he became the Demon King, Hades was alive. That fact was crucial to me now.
And…
“He’s showing a reaction to me.”
Though negative, any reaction was better than no reaction.
“But I can’t stay like this.”
If I just wished quietly, negative reactions might escalate to the point of trying to kill me.
Now that Denesor was not around, could I, who had become the Demon King, defeat Hades?
I staggered and stood up from my position.
First, I had to get out of the prison.
‘It’s not that difficult.’
All of Leodel’s prisons had a fundamentally identical structure. Just because it was a prison in the Demon King’s castle didn’t mean it was any different. I ran my fingers along the iron door, finding a gap, and then tried to push it open with a hairpin.
With a clink, the door opened.
Wait a moment.
I widened my eyes.
Clink…?
I hit the iron door with my fist. This time, a solid clank echoed. When I focused my eyes, a faint grayish figure seemed to be visible.
‘…It’s coming back.’
Certainly, my lost senses were returning.
After that, it was easy.
Finding a hiding place in this Demon King’s castle was as familiar to me as finding one in Donovan Fortress.
Moreover, all the demons were currently dead.
With only Hades Crohiten in this vast Demon King’s castle, avoiding him and heading towards a hiding place didn’t seem too difficult.
‘But I shouldn’t let my guard down.’
I moved in a direction that minimized the possibility of encountering Hades.
‘…It was here.’
The hiding place I found with just a faint sense was located exactly opposite the main base of the Demon King.
It seemed like a position where I could immediately jump outside the castle if needed.
So, I let my guard down.
I never thought someone would be there before me.
And that someone was, of course…
“Did you escape after all?”
A mocking voice.
Even though there was no sign that he recognized me, his face still retained the appearance of Hades Crohiten.
The Demon King.
‘…No way.’
The Demon King furrowed his brows. It was because a part of the castle that he thought had no movement began to stir.
The fact that humans trying to invade the Demon King’s castle overlooked was one thing.
That the Demon King and the castle were virtually one.
Naturally, regardless of where the disturbance occurred in the castle, the Demon King could immediately know that fact.
Since there was no reason to hurry, the Demon King moved slowly. Anyway, it was painfully obvious where the opponent was heading.
It was a small room that looked so useless that it was suspicious.
Of course, there was a reason why the opponent was heading to that room.
‘There’s an exit to the outside.’
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
