Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

7/10

"Cough, cough, cough"

Eileen crawled out of the ruins, covered in dust and dirt.

The entire Demon King's Castle was almost completely collapsed in this self-destruction of the Wicked Demon, enough to show the power of this explosion.

The little succubus, still a bit dazed, showed an anxious expression on her face as soon as she came to her senses.

In the last second of the explosion, Eileen saw that it was the Hero who had put up a barrier.

And even used his own body to block the impact.

"Reji! Reji!"

Eileen was in a complete panic.

None of them had expected Lordan, as the Demon King, to be so ruthless, not even caring about his own life, directly wanting to perish together with them.

Although Eileen knew Reji was very strong, she was still extremely uneasy about that life-burning magic explosion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was the second time she had this feeling of loss.

The first time, she had lost her parents and the Succubus Clan.

This time, she didn't want to lose her important family again.

Thinking that Reji might have been buried in the Wicked Demon's explosion to protect them, Eileen felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.

The little succubus didn't feel the slightest joy that the Demon King was dead. She ran towards the ruins crying, wanting to find that familiar figure.

In the smoke of the explosion, Eileen quickly found a clue.

"Sister Freya? Great! Quick! Sister!"

Under the impact of the explosion, everyone was scattered. As soon as Eileen found the Saintess, she immediately became overjoyed. She grasped Freya's sleeve tightly, urging the Saintess to go find the Hero quickly.

Just like that, the two of them quickly searched towards the center of the explosion. After a short while, in the crevice between the rubble and broken stones, Eileen keenly sensed a weak life aura.

"There! Brother is there!"

The little succubus immediately flew over. The Hero was lying in a deep pit. Although his equipment was all damaged by the explosion, revealing the blurred flesh and blood affected by the blast underneath, at least from his still heaving chest, it showed that the Hero had survived.

"Quick, Sister Freya, quickly heal Brother!"

Eileen pulled the heavily injured Hero out of the deep pit with great effort.

But afterwards, she could only anxiously hover around the Hero, helpless.

Although Succubus also had healing abilities, most of them were limited to use on the Demon King, and a contract between the two parties needed to be established.

Fortunately, when it came to healing, there was arguably the best in the world here.

Freya nodded.

She came to the Hero's side expressionlessly, who was extremely weak and covered in blood from being hit by the explosion.

In fact, Eileen should have been able to notice the Saintess's abnormality at this time.

But at this moment, the little succubus's attention was all on the Hero, and she didn't think much of it.

So this led to...

Freya placed her radiant hands on the Hero's chest, and in the next moment...

Squish!

The radiant holy power did not transform into healing power.

Instead, it became spikes.

Directly sent into the Hero's chest by Freya.

At this scene, Eileen's mind went completely blank.

She couldn't believe what had happened at all.

But reality was reality.

Freya, clearly the Saintess who loved the Hero the most, actually, actually...

"You, you Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Eileen's eyes widened in anger. The little succubus had never been so furious. Before she could even roar at Freya, the Saintess waved her hand and sent the little succubus flying.

Next, after "finishing off" the Hero, the Saintess began to envelop the Hero's body with radiance, as if absorbing the power within him.

Freya's magic power instantly soared, and Eileen could do nothing. She could only watch helplessly as the Saintess ultimately betrayed the Hero, betrayed Brother Reji.

"Run, Eileen."

Seeing that the little succubus was about to rush up and fight Freya with her life, the Wisdom Demon appeared at this time and pulled Eileen back.

After taking one last deep look in the direction of the Hero and the Saintess, Leo ignored Eileen's cries and immediately ordered the rest of the demons to retreat.

All of this happened too quickly.

The other soldiers scattered by the impact of the explosion had no idea what had happened.

The Elf Race was the same.

Vielsia only saw Eileen being quickly led out of the Demon King's Castle by the Wisdom Demon, and many demons also fled and retreated outwards.

What happened?

What exactly happened?

Where was the Hero?

Where was Freya?

When the rest of the human soldiers and members of the Elf Race regrouped and hurriedly went to explore the depths of the explosion, they finally also saw a shocking scene.

It was...

The lifeless corpse of the Hero.

"The demon race has betrayed us."

"They had been acting all along, just for this moment."

"But fortunately, before the Hero died, he killed the Wicked Demon and gave his power to me. From now on, no demon is an ally of humans anymore. Immediately gather the army and wipe out the demon race, leaving none behind."

The Saintess's cold explanation echoed in everyone's ears.

Leaving Vielsia and the members of the Elf Race completely stunned.

What?

Could it be that Eileen and those apostles had been acting all along, pretending to pledge allegiance to the Hero?

Intuition told Vielsia that something was wrong.

Something was very wrong here.

And when she wanted to chase after Freya and question her, the Saintess had already walked away, not even sparing a glance at Vielsia and the Elf Race, as if they were strangers.

Just as if she had become a different person.

What is happening...

Vielsia was unwilling to leave it at that. She still wanted to rush up and confront Freya for a clear explanation, but was stopped by the sensible Elder.

The Elf Race hereby announced their withdrawal and would no longer participate in the conflicts between humans and the demon race.

The young Vielsia could do nothing. She could only leave with the Elder, temporarily endure, wait to cultivate and grow, and then go investigate the truth.

At the same time, with the news released by the Saintess quickly spreading to the human rear, no one doubted Freya.

On the contrary, many humans supported the Saintess.

"I told you long ago, the demon race can't be relied on at all!"

"That's right, all that about pledging allegiance to the Hero was fake!"

"Damn demons!"

"Hero-sama Wahhhhh..."

"Exterminate the demon race! Exterminate the demon race!"

"Avenge Lord Hero!"

Under the leadership of the Saintess, the human army quickly regained their morale and launched an attack on the demon race army led by Eileen, who were once regarded as allies.

However, unfortunately, the demon race seemed to have been prepared early on.

Led by that Wisdom Demon apostle, they took a step ahead and transferred the remaining demons to the Chaos Rift for self-sealing in order to protect themselves.

In the end, although the Hero unfortunately died.

The demon race completely disappeared from the world. Find more chapters on empire

The demon race, forced to flee into the Chaos Rift, was equivalent to self-destruction and was certainly doomed.

After peace was achieved.

Freya, who had inherited the Hero's power, was also quickly nominated as the Emperor.

Subsequently, with the support of countless nobles, a country with absolute hegemony centered around the Saintess was quietly formed after the world was saved, named by Freya as the Nox Empire.

But had the demon race truly been completely defeated?

No.

In order to escape Freya's pursuit and revenge, the demon race hiding in the Chaos Rift, Eileen had never hated a person as much as she did now.

I must avenge brother.

I must make that traitor Freya, and those humans who assisted Freya in slandering Reji, pay the price!

But...

How could we take revenge?

We, we had already lost everything...

"Perhaps there is still a way, Eileen."

Compared to the little succubus's despair, Leo stepped forward at this time.

The Wisdom Demon's profound gaze looked into the distance, as if he had already seen through something.

He quickly said, "Have you forgotten, Eileen? You still have one authority that hasn't been used."

"My... authority?"

Leo nodded, "Yes, the Demon King Summoning."
