The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns

The capital city of the Southern Region lost its natural danger, and was quickly overwhelmed by the army. Demon King Seros issued an ultimatum to attack the city in twelve hours.

Seros even sent a letter to Levi as a demon king, pointing out that Levi is now a bereaved dog and is not worthy of wearing the crown of the Southern Territory.At the same time as this letter, there were thousands of leaflets scattered in the capital.

Although the alchemy aircraft that dropped the leaflets was quickly destroyed by the Southern Demon King's Palace, most of the residents in the city still got the leaflets.This is not the army of the Western Regions persuading the residents to surrender, but a leaflet written by the former Prime Minister Sidi who was originally loyal to the Demon King Levi and enjoyed a high reputation in the entire Southern Region.

On the leaflets that have been photocopied countless times, Sidi denounced the demon king Levy for his various inactions, excessive taxation, collusion with monsters, collusion with the lord, and he is not worthy of being a king at all.At the end of the leaflet, she earnestly begged the residents not to serve such a senseless devil king anymore, and the Southern Territory should establish a new king.

A leaflet was suddenly clenched, and the emaciated demon king sat alone on the throne with a grim expression.

The demon lords who praised him and manipulated him in the past have already fled away.They are lords, and unlike the devil king, even if a new king ascends the throne, their land and title will not change, so waiting and watching, and preserving their own strength is what the lords care most about.

A canopy of flames ignited in Levi's hands, burning up the leaflets, but not the army outside the capital that was about to end his rule.

The drums sounded.

Demon King Selos ordered his subordinates to keep beating the drums, using the sound of the drums to reduce the morale of the defenders in the city, and also intended to remind the people in the city.Already courageous demon residents left their homes quietly, and several people gathered together to discuss and secretly open the city gate.

Even if they can bear the heavy tax and the tyranny of the devil, it's just that the leaflet clearly states that the devil, Levi, is colluding with monsters!

The monsters that appeared in the seventh abyss are still rushing to the front line, wanting to occupy and rule the demon world they depend on for survival.Every demon knows this very well, and has read previous reports that the demon king Levi has stepped on the red line that symbolizes the bottom line of tolerance for demons.

Since the Demon King has no way, then——

Establish a new king!

The Demon King sat alone on the throne, listening to the urgent sound of drums and the rising noise in the palace, his cheeks twitched slightly.Now, there are very few bargaining chips left in his hands, and it is completely impossible to maintain the dignity of the devil, so Levi has to find a way out for himself.

The general situation is over, and he wants to live... It's better to use that secret as a bargaining chip.

Just when Levi was about to put all his eggs in one basket and ask Theros for negotiations with secrets as the last bargaining chip, a strangely dressed demon, like a cloud of shadows, seeped out from the corner of the palace.He moves his re-materialized body, and the two pointed bonnets on his head and the red and white makeup on his face make him look ridiculous.

Seeing that the Demon King on the throne was on guard, the Fool quickly smiled and introduced himself.

"I'm a branch of the main body, you can call me... jester."

How could Levy care about the jester now? He made a deal with the one in the heavens, but it was based on the fact that he was the devil!And now, he is about to lose everything, so what deal is he talking about? !

"No, no, you are mistaken, Your Majesty."

The Fool curled his bright red mouth.

"You are still far from the end of the mountain."

Levy only thought he was mocking, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared.

"All the demons betrayed me! All left me! You call this 'the end of the mountain'?!"

The smile on the Fool's face suddenly widened.

"Of course, have you forgotten?"

"You are still our friend, using the name of the devil, my family is... a monster? You are a friend of the monster."

"The monster... will naturally help you."

As he said this, he found that the devil's face changed slightly, and the jester's expression suddenly became more sincere.But behind his back, there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

The form of war is ever-changing. Neither he nor the main body expected that Demon Lord Selos would fight the battle so fiercely and fiercely, as if rushing back to his hometown to get married.

The protracted tug-of-war suddenly turned into a blitz, and the demon king Levi couldn't hold on at all, and his army was defeated like a mountain.Ontology's wish to let Levy ascend to the throne is doomed to fail. In the end, it is natural to let Levy play the final value.

The fool smiled. Seeing that the devil did not reject him, he walked up the stairs slowly and came to the throne.He clung to Levi's ear and whispered for a long, long time.

The devil's cloudy eyes rolled slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

This is his last chance.

***

The drums are beating, but the horn of attack has not yet sounded.

Seros was making pre-war preparations in his military tent, when suddenly a subordinate came to report that he had captured the secret messenger from the Southern Territory.Theros frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart, and this premonition came true when he saw the messenger.

The courier has been completely wiped out of his personal consciousness, and is just a messenger with a dull expression.Such cruel methods are naturally used to deliver the most confidential news. After Theros waved away all his subordinates, the messenger opened his mouth dully.

"I know Ansair's secret, he is not qualified to be the devil king at all."

"...Come to the fissure of the seventh abyss."

Enduring the pain caused by [jealousy], Levi admitted that Ansair should be the biggest obstacle for Theros to dominate the demon world compared to himself like a bereaved dog.It only took more than 300 years for the Eastern Region to recover and develop into its current state. Given time, it will inevitably compete with the Western Region.

Therefore, with the secret about Ansair as a bargaining chip, Levi is about [-]% sure that Seros will come.As for the other [-]%, they would think that this was just a trap when he was caught dead, and would not come here.

However, Levi didn't know that from the very beginning, when the messenger told the secret about Ansair, the probability of Seros going to the seventh abyss rift to make an appointment——

It's one hundred percent.

Only when it came to matters related to Ansair, Seros didn't dare to take the slightest risk.

Thinking of this, the demon king with dark blue vertical pupils remained calm.He raised his hand to kill the messenger, ending his chaotic and painful life, and then called his subordinates to come in.As soon as the subordinate entered the camp, he saw the corpse on the ground, and he was a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to dirty your hands, as long as you give an order, we will naturally do it for you."

How could Seros be willing to deal with the courier by someone else? He burned the body again, thoroughly confirming that there was no trace of existence, and then said lightly.

"I'll go out for a while."

The subordinate bowed his head and followed the order, but he was a little confused.It will attack soon, why does His Majesty the Demon King leave now.

"The attack plan will not change. If I still haven't returned after twelve hours, just attack according to the original plan."

Levi is no longer in the capital, and without the strength of a demon king here, Seros can naturally leave.And for the subsequent attack, according to the agreement, the army from the Western Regions will not be the main force, and it will be the leopard-human Sidi's team that breaks the city.

This is the reward for cooperating with the Western Regions army for acting.

***

Theros did not delay too much, and soon arrived at the Great Crack of the Seventh Abyss.The cracks are vast, and the defense area is mainly on the side facing the Demon Realm, and Levi is waiting on the other side.Seeing Seros, whose cloak fluttered and landed slowly, almost instantly, Levi had a pitiful expression on his face.

"You came."

He looked embarrassed and downcast, but his cloudy eyes shone slightly in the dark.

"As you can see, I clearly did not bring any Southern Region soldiers here. This is not a trap, but... I want to live."

He deliberately put it mildly.

"I am now a lost dog, Theros Asmodeus, I think you must wish to get rid of me soon. But the secret I have is deadly enough to threaten Ansair to kneel to me and let the humiliation .”

It was Ansair who Levi wanted to threaten, and he even imagined how to make the arrogant Ansair kneel down in front of him, but it is a pity that now he can only use the secret as a bargaining chip.He observed Theros's expression, and found that after the first glance, the other party's expression became indifferent again, making it difficult to understand.

Even if it was a one-man show, Levi had to bite the bullet and sing.

"I am willing to tell you this secret, as long as you let me go, we can sign a strong contract."

The price of violating the contract, even the devil is unwilling to bear it, is almost equated with death.So as long as the contract is signed, Levi can at least save his own life. As for how to violate the contract without violating the contract, Levi has already made plans.

Seros still had a calm expression, and spoke slowly.

"[only] tell me."

He emphasized a word.

"You can only tell me the secret about Ansair. If you don't take the initiative to attack me, I can let you go."

"I want to grasp the timing of releasing this secret, instead of watching others release it first, causing a commotion."

This additional "only" made Levy hesitate for a while.In fact, he has already made preparations to spread this secret widely. Such a request from Theros means that part of his preparations will be in vain.

After weighing several times, Levy finally agreed, and the two demon kings signed a contract.

Seiros's heart relaxed a little, but it still didn't fully fall to the ground.He sensed the restraining power of the contract imposed on him, facing Levi who was slowly approaching and about to tell the secret, a sharp light gradually lit up in his dark blue vertical pupils.

Levi was caught off guard, and Seros completely ignored the terrible consequences of violating the contract, and directly pierced his heart with a sword!

The contract backfired, black flames burned on Seros' body, and the coercive force of the demon world acted on him. The pain seemed to crush his soul.But his expression was so calm, almost a kind of relief.

Levi broke away from the sword of the abyss where the black light was shining, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. The blood splashed on the soil of the seventh abyss, vaguely mixed with fragments of internal organs.He staggered backwards, and looked at Theros again, as if he was looking at a monster with a strange mind.

"You...Theros...you are..."

"You are not afraid of... the contract..."

"Why did you do it... to this extent... for Ansair...?"

And in the next moment, Levi's brain, which had been paralyzed by alcohol all the year round, finally had a flash of inspiration.

He remembered that Theros attacked the Southern Territory this time, but let the Eastern Territory develop with peace of mind in the rear; he remembered the intimate relationship between Theros and Ansair on the Seventh Abyss front; and before the crack, Ansair The moment Er chased the prince down...

Levy now recalls that Seros' expression at that time was as if...

It's as if my heart is also falling.

In the end, Levi thought of the surname "Asmodeus" and thought of the rumors that were originally thought to be outrageous.

——The Asmodeus family has been deeply affectionate from generation to generation.

Blood rushed to the throat, and something seemed to be wriggling in the body.Levi firmly held the raging black light in his heart, his lips trembled, he felt that it was absurd, but also felt that it was true, and it could only be so.

"You knew it a long time ago...you knew that secret a long time ago..."

Knowing the secret of Ansair's status as an angel, but keeping it a secret, and when he wanted to use this secret as a bargaining chip and a threat, he did not hesitate to attack him.

After all, Levi was smart for a while, and now, he understands everything.

"The Demon Lord Selos Asmodeus!"

"……you love him!"

It is absurd enough for an angel to become a devil, but now, the devil has fallen in love with an angel!

This time, the demon king with black hair and blue eyes finally raised his eyes. The dark blue vertical pupils passed down from generation to generation in the Asmodeus family were like ice, but under the ice, there was hidden fire.

"Yes, I love him."

said the devil.

"so……"

"You don't want to surpass me and trample on his dignity."
