I must have seen it wrong, I thought, rubbing my eyes, but nothing changed.
‘…….’
Clouds or snowstorms were not the issue.
In the rapidly approaching snowstorm, crimson lights were scattering.
I knew what those ominous red lights were. More precisely, I knew what caused them.
If it had flashed once or twice, I would have thought it was just lightning of a peculiar color.
But those lights flashing simultaneously in dozens of places were undoubtedly…….
‘It doesn’t make sense. The ‘fires of hell’ are supposed to appear much later!’
But when has this world ever rolled on normally? I had no choice but to accept reality.
“……Angel?”
As I kicked the door open, Hades, who was having a confrontation with the delegation, looked at me with a surprised face.
“Your Highness, I have something to tell you.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy right now.”
“Just a moment.”
I put on the most charming voice I could muster.
“Just a moment, can’t you spare me some time?”
The answer came back a little slowly.
“……I have no choice.”
Hades turned his head towards the delegation.
“As you can see, I’m busy right now. It would be best if you left.”
“But, Your Highness!”
“If you need anything, just tell the servant.”
Hades, without allowing the delegation to speak further, shot a forbidding glance and came into the room, closing the door.
“So, what is it?”
Suspicion was very evident, but now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.
I pointed out the window.
“Look at that.”
“If you’re talking about mere snow…….”
“No. Those…… lights.”
Hades’ mouth closed at once.
“……I don’t know what it is.”
A defeated voice flowed. My heart tightened.
Hades had always been overly confident about the demons.
And now, for the first time, he revealed a lack of certainty in himself.
“I don’t know at all…….”
I glanced up at him. Hades was half covering his mouth, looking several times more tired than usual.
Hades slowly turned towards me.
“What do you think, Holy Lady?”
I shook my head.
“I don’t know either. I’m sure it’s a demon… but do demons flash like that?”
“No.”
Hades sighed.
“That dead demon had a pattern I had never seen before on its neck. I should have anticipated it…….”
My eyes widened. I didn’t know because I hadn’t seen the demon’s corpse, but it seemed that the ‘fire of hell’ had been dead.
‘Who…… How?’
The fire of hell.
The name given to distinguish them from simple fire demons was not an exaggeration.
Their fire could not be extinguished by anything.
If it had been a fire that could be extinguished by water, it would have been extinguished in the snowstorm long ago.
Rather, the fact that they were brazenly flaunting their flames was proof that they were the fires of hell.
Especially in 1on1 close combat, it was no exaggeration to say they were the most notorious attribute of demons in Leodel.
‘What should I do.’
I bit my lip. For now, giving Hades a hint so he could at least prepare a little was the priority.
“It looks like fire, right?”
“Yes.”
Hades nodded his head.
“Let’s try making a sea by opening the water channels, like last time.”
“That won’t be enough.”
The words popped out before I could think.
Of course, it would be better than doing nothing, but it would not be wise to expect them to be dealt with as easily as simple fire demons.
“Look, it’s coming with the snowstorm. Would that be possible if it were ordinary fire?”
“That’s true.”
Hades answered grimly.
“I’ll prepare as much water as possible.”
“That alone won’t be enough…….”
I was lost in thought. The method used in the actual game could not be used against them.
Neither powerful items nor comrades were available.
But I had Hades. A lord of a nation and a powerful swordmaster.
I took a moment to breathe deeply. I needed to prepare my mind to speak.
“Your Majesty, do you trust me?”
“…….”
Hades looked at me slightly instead of answering. An inscrutable look pierced me. I suppressed the urge to close my eyes tightly.
I should not try to avoid Hades’s gaze now.
For me.
And for him.
“It depends on what you say.”
I looked at him directly.
“I know how to completely defeat them.”
Hades’s eyes narrowed.
“How do you know that, Saint?”
I swallowed dryly. Could I say this?
But without saying this, persuading Hades would be nearly impossible.
“I’ve talked to the Holy Sword… quite often.”
Silence passed. Hades stared at me with a face that showed no change in color.
“That’s why I knew about the demons. I think I know them better than anyone in Donovan.”
Just then.
Hades’s cold mask shook for a brief moment.
He regained his composure quickly, but I didn’t miss the emotion that flashed across his face.
Hades Croitner does not believe me, yet wants to believe.
That was emotion enough for me.
“Speak.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Donovan’s Duke Castle was busier than ever.
Hades informed his knights and the embassy of the information I had given him and asked for their help.
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.
