Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

2/4

The Demon King Tower hovered high above the continent.

At the time, Eileen had specifically requested the Sorcery Demon to transform the tower, using the mutual projection and refraction between spells to allow all humans in the world, no matter where they were, to see the faint phantom image of the Demon Tower in the sky, like the sun and moon, as long as they looked up.

This was what the Succubus believed to be the status the demon race should have.

Towering high above the world.

Now, Saintess Freya, accompanied by the two apostles Dian and Pierre sent by Reji, quickly arrived at the base of this Demon Tower from the Radiant Holy Nation in less than a day.

Freya, like many humans, couldn't help but look up at this majestic Demon Tower.

But in her eyes, there was no shock, admiration, or feeling of being stifled, despair, or helplessness at the power gap between humans and demons, like others.

On the contrary.

The Saintess seemed to have finally confirmed something.

In her ocean-blue eyes, a hint of "relief" seemed to flash by.

Of course, it disappeared very quickly.

No one noticed.

"Miss Freya, before formally entering the Demon Tower, I'm sorry, but I need to conduct a full-body search on you. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please cooperate with my mana guidance and do not resist."

"If you have any items or weapons on you now, please take them out voluntarily and hand them over to us now. This is very important. If we discover them later, the nature of the two will be different. Miss Freya surely doesn't want to see such a conflicting and unpleasant scene, right?"

Seeing Dian blocking her way, Freya let out a light laugh. The Saintess voluntarily spread her arms, seemingly not minding the Sorcery Demon's search at all.

Seeing this, Dian didn't say much more and immediately used a surveillance spell to meticulously sense the mana fluctuations around Freya's body from top to bottom, repeatedly confirming several times that there were no special items on this human Saintess before retracting the spell and nodding.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss."

However...

Although from his perspective as the Sorcery Demon Apostle, there was no problem searching the Saintess, Dian still took out a pair of handcuffs for insurance.

"Put these on, and Miss Saintess can formally enter the Demon Tower to meet his highness."

The handcuffs not only restricted the hands but also carried an absolute mana seal.

This was considered a double insurance, completely eliminating any chance for the Radiant Saintess to harm the King.

"Is your King that afraid of me?"

Freya looked indifferently at the handcuffs handed over by the Sorcery Demon. She didn't show any resistance, only sneering lightly.

At this moment, another figure walked out from the side and answered the Saintess's question.

"The Saintess has misunderstood. These complicated procedures were all added by me privately. Unlike the great Demon King, we indeed still hold reverence for the Radiant Saintess."

Wisdom Demon Leon walked out from the side and elegantly bowed slightly to Freya to show respect.

A thousand years ago, the Radiant Saintess joining hands with the Hero was the biggest reason for the demon race's defeat. Leon's words were indeed not a lie to Freya. As the Wisdom Demon, he was always the most cautious and alert.

"Hmph."

After snorting, Freya ignored Leon and didn't wait for other demons. She put on the handcuffs herself.

Accompanied by the "click" of the lock, Freya even deliberately raised her cuffed hands above her head, as if signaling to the numerous demons in front of the Demon Tower.

Immediately after, the Saintess, not caring about the other apostles, directly took a step forward and continued into the Demon Tower alone, as if this was not at all some enemy headquarters fraught with danger.

And behind her, although Leon frowned slightly, he always felt that this human Saintess's attitude was very strange.

But the problem was, they had already done what they should. If they stopped the Saintess from entering the Demon Tower now, it would be their demon race losing face.

Leon could only secretly give a look to the other apostles. If they noticed anything amiss, they should not hesitate and immediately go all out.

The Radiant Saint Boots stepped on the soft red carpet.

With her hands cuffed, Freya's expression remained unchanged. Under the gaze of the ferocious high-level demons lined up on both sides, she stepped into the audience hall step by step, until she finally reached the Demon King sitting high on the steps, and only then did Freya finally stop.

Now, the Saintess's expression was very relaxed.

Even more relaxed than when Reji saw Freya in the previous projection.

"Miss Freya is the first human to enter here as a guest. Can you tell me how you feel?"

Reji was in no hurry to negotiate, but asked casually.

The human Saintess below seemed to have the same intention. She looked around the great hall and saw the nine apostles gathered together, surrounding her, as well as the various high-level demon guards. Freya shook her head.

"How do I feel? Let me think, everywhere is filled with the nauseating and disgusting aura of the demon race? Other than that, it's not bad here."

At this point. Freya focused her gaze on Vielsia.

"You are... the new Wicked Demon Apostle?"

Without Reji's indication, the elf did not answer Freya. The Saintess only frowned slightly at this, but did not pursue further. Instead, she shifted her gaze back to Reji and changed the topic.

"If I remember correctly, there should have been a group of humans entering the Demon Tower before me in the fallen areas, right? Why did the Demon King say I was the first? Or..."

"I don't consider those humans as guests."

Hearing this, Freya immediately frowned and said very coldly, "You killed them all?"

"Yes."

Reji on the throne nodded calmly, with no intention of hiding it.

"Is this what you by wanting to coexist peacefully with humans?"

"I think Miss Freya has misunderstood. I never mentioned peaceful coexistence. Even humans cannot coexist peacefully among themselves, let alone humans and demons. But our interests are different. Right now, we both have the Empire as a common enemy. This is also the basis of our current negotiation, isn't it?"

"The Empire is the enemy of humans? Based on what? Based on the lie you demons are now spreading to all humans? Those insect eggs in human bodies?"

The insect eggs were the most obvious ironclad evidence.

Reji really didn't expect that even at this point, Freya would still come to him and say such things.

Until...

"Heh, you're wrong, Demon King. Many years ago, the Emperor had already bestowed blessings upon all humans, planting the Light Emblem in their bodies! It's not insect eggs, but you! The demons! You turned these emblems that should have brought blessings into evil insect eggs!"

At the end, Freya could no longer contain the hatred on her face.

It was obvious that she had not the slightest preparation to come and negotiate with the demons.

On the contrary, this human Saintess was a staunch supporter of the Empire and had deep faith in that Emperor.

Then the reason why Freya still deliberately came to the Demon Tower at this moment...

"Seize her!" Enjoy new adventures at M V L

Without Reji, Leon was the first to speak. The Wisdom Demon himself was the first to act, but not towards Freya, but towards Reji.

Since the Saintess did not come to negotiate.

Then the most likely reason she still voluntarily came to the Demon King Tower was the Demon King.

So what Leon thought was to protect Reji first.

But... They were all wrong.

The Great Demon guards who rushed up easily pierced Freya's body with their blades.

The Saintess never resisted from beginning to end.

She also could not resist.

The shackles on her hands restricted her movements and sealed her mana. These were indeed effective. As for the Sorcery Demon's previous inspection, there were no items or weapons on Freya, which was also correct.

Freya's purpose in coming to the Demon Tower this time was not at all aggressive, nor was it for Reji.

But... The Demon Tower location.
