Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Page 129

Savi looked at Li with confusion, not understanding what Li was doing. Li didn't say anything, but simply released magic to open the 'teleport' and then turned around.

“I know the situation is urgent, but you can’t just go like this without thinking,” Li said helplessly. “I know the most important thing right now is to act quickly. Let’s go, I’ll take you and the Demon King there, straight to the battlefield. We can talk about the rest later.”

"...Thanks, Li."

There's no time left for them to hesitate. Things need to be done. Although Li was surprised to learn some things, now is not the time to talk about such things.

“Then I’ll go take a look at the current situation of the kingdom’s army.” Koster opened the door, then turned back. “You guys come with me too, help me out.”

"Ah, okay."

Seria and the others followed Coster away; they too were about to take action for their own justice.

“You guys, take Xiao with you.” Ning pulled Xiao over. “Don’t let my little sister’s appearance fool you. Trust me, she’ll definitely be of use. Don’t bully her.”

"Please advise!"

Ning simply handed Xiao over to these two men to take care of. Although she didn't understand why, Saiwei obediently accepted their kindness.

"Let's go." Li expanded the teleportation magic circle and prepared to step inside, but Ning stopped him. "What are you doing?"

“I know you were planning to go help too, but we need your help here as well,” Ning stopped her. “You guys go ahead, we have things to do here too.”

"Okay, I'll head back now."

Xuanze didn't linger, hoisting Xiao Yi onto his shoulder and pulling Saiwei away. They were both busy resolving their respective crises, and time was running out; the event was finally about to begin.

The Demon King is going to take Savi to the battlefield to thwart the kingdom's conspiracy. Although he doesn't know what Savi is planning, he believes that with Savi and Xuanze there, they will definitely be able to resolve the situation.

Koster took Seria and the others to investigate the situation inside the kingdom. With Koster's reputation as the guild leader, this was a small matter that he could easily accomplish. If the kingdom was indeed raising an army, then Mo Yueya's speculation might be correct.

"You said you have something to do? What is it?" I couldn't imagine what could be more important than what I had just mentioned.

“We’re going to church,” Ning began preparing, “to destroy the root of everything.”

The magic circle that summons the hero.

Chapter 48

"...! That's amazing..."

The intense silver light gradually faded, and Savi came to his senses. The scene had changed so quickly that he still didn't feel like he was in reality.

"Right? Sister Li is super awesome!" Xiao proudly puffed out her flat chest.

He once again deeply felt that Li and he were not from the same world. Savi had heard their conversation, which was something beyond his comprehension.

He had no access to heroes, demon kings, dragon kings, or any of these other things. Most unbelievably, the demon king was standing right in front of him.

Although the Demon King had his back to him, he could tell that the Demon King was someone of similar age, someone who, like him, was carrying burdens beyond his years.

"You must be wondering why someone like me would be a demon king, right?" The demon king standing in front suddenly spoke up. "Heh... I don't know either, it's really amazing."

"Haha, no, not at all." Saiwei chuckled. "I just think you and I are pretty much the same."

“In that case, they do have some similarities,” Xuanze waved his hand. “Come on, you still have your people to save, don’t you, Your Highness? Xiao, come here too.”

"Ok!"

If Mo Yueya's prediction is correct, his army is now in danger and will definitely be attacked by the kingdom's army when they are completely unprepared.

Moreover, according to the Demon King, his army has already arrived on the battlefield.

“Ah, that’s true.” Savi followed him without any suspicion.

“I’m telling you, I’m the Demon King, for goodness’ sake,” Xuanze said, glancing at him as he walked away. “Aren’t you worried about what I might do?”

“I don’t know why, but I just feel like you can’t do it.” Savi shrugged. “After seeing you, I understand a little better.”

"Ah, then I must find an opportunity to try it."

"Ha, let's forget it, we don't have time to bicker here."

Although they were assigned to a team temporarily, the two young men seemed to get along surprisingly well, to the point that it made one wonder if they were childhood friends.

However... there's a very cute little fox-eared girl sandwiched between these two young men... a rather peculiar combination.

The three of them had just arrived at the Demon King's camp. Although the demons were eager to attack the unfamiliar human, Savi, they calmed down after seeing the Demon King beside him.

As they approached the Demon King's tent, Savi sensed an incredibly powerful surge of resentment erupting, followed by someone bursting out with tremendous force.

"You damned demon king!!"

A dark figure rushed out of the tent and tried to pounce on the Demon King, but Xuanze skillfully pushed the figure away with one hand. Saiwei saw clearly that it was a young girl in an exquisite black dress.

"You're going to ruin your image like this, Kuroba," Xuanze said unhurriedly.

"Who cares about that?! You dumped your work on me again!!!" Kuroba yelled at him. "I'll say it again!! I didn't come here to help you with your work!!! You haven't paid me yet!!!! Waaaaah—!?"

Xuanze suddenly pulled Heiyu into his arms, then leaned close to her ear and whispered in her ear in a devilish tone.

"If you want it now—I can just grab you and force it in, how about that?"

"?!" Kuroba blushed immediately and pushed him away forcefully. "No way! You demon king!"

After forcefully pushing Xuanze away, she immediately turned around and ran back into the tent as if fleeing. Saiwei came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"You're quite skilled, Demon King," Savi laughed. "I think that kid was right, you really are the 'Demon King.' Teach me sometime."

Xuanze could tell that the "Demon King" was being somewhat mocking.

"Heh...it's only effective for these innocent kids." Xuanze shrugged and walked into the tent. "It's still good for teasing children."

"Demon King! So handsome!" Xiao's eyes sparkled as she followed.

Sevi smiled helplessly and followed him inside. Once inside the tent, he saw the girl named Kuroba buried in the blankets in the corner, a fairy grabbing the Demon King's hair and yelling, and a familiar figure… He wouldn't mistake it; that alluring figure with the curves of a young girl…

“Aye…?” Savi looked at her in disbelief.

“…?” Aye, who was organizing the files, turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw Savi. “You are… Oh, Savi.”

"Do you two know each other?" Xuanze asked as he took the documents from Aiye's hand and checked them one by one.

"Hmm? I guess you could call it a karmic entanglement. The person I met in the maze before was him," Aye said casually.

The relationship between her and Saivi could indeed be considered a tragic one, because all sorts of things happened... To be honest, Saivi is a little embarrassed now, while the person involved, Aye, seems nonchalant and indifferent, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

“I’m sorry…” Savi solemnly apologized to Aye, “I did that in the maze.”

"Oh, I don't care about that kind of thing," Aye waved her hand. "A little blood will do the trick. More importantly, what are you doing here? And why are you with the Dragon King's little sister?"

"Ah, a lot has happened to me too." Saiwei glanced at Xiao, who was holding his hand.

"In short, the situation is very urgent." Xuanze interrupted their reminiscing. "Aye, where are the Duchy's troops right now?"

“We’re almost at the point of joining up with the Kingdom’s army.” Aye switched back to his usual work mode. “News from the front lines indicates that the Kingdom’s army has clashed with the ‘Frost Dragon King’.”

“Tsk, they may have already reunited. There’s still a chance…” Xuanze thought for a moment, “Aye, immediately organize a team to march over there, not to chase after them, we need to rescue them.”

"...Save people?" Aye tilted her head.

“Ah, right, to save people.” Xuanze nodded. “And while we’re at it, we’ll do this guy a favor. You know he’s a prince, right?”

"Well, I'll get ready."

As Aye left, he patted Sevi on the shoulder, gave him a meaningful look, and then immediately went to prepare for the mobilization of the forced march.

"Black Feather, come out." Xuanze pulled Black Feather out without any gentleness. "We're leaving. We need your help this time. We might have to fight the Dragon King."

"...Well, I knew you'd need my help, so remember to pay me." Kuroba seemed to be in a better mood and agreed.

"Silena, you stay." Xuanze pulled the fairy off his head.

"Huh?! Why?!" Serena protested.

"There's no reason why," Xuanze said coldly. "If you stay here, you won't be of any help even if I take you there."

"...Come back." Serena's momentum weakened, and she could only offer support to Xuanze. She was also aware of her own strength.

“Then let’s go, Your Majesty.” Xuanze quickly made all the preparations and prepared to leave. “Go and save your people.”

“…Thanks, Demon King.” Savi looked at Xuanze with a hint of awe.

Although they only saw a little bit, these people trusted the Demon King, and the Demon King entrusted things to them with peace of mind. Xuanze truly deserves to be called the Demon King/Hero of the Demon Clan.

Chapter 49 Urgent March

“We need to get there now,” Xuanze straightened his coat. “We need to get there first because they’re probably fighting the Frost Dragon King right now. To get there faster, the main force of us need to get there first. Saiwei, can you keep up?”

“This distance is no problem for me,” a red magical light emanated from Sevi. “Let’s go!”

"Xiao, can you keep up?" Xuanze asked Xiao, who seemed to need the most care, to confirm.

"Hmm! Xiao's fine!"

Xiao's tail was wagging at full speed, looking eager to try. Xuanze helplessly corrected her that this was not a trip to play, and then looked at the hastily marching army he had just gathered.

"You're all probably wondering what we're doing right now, right? Why are we helping the human army?" Xuanze stood up straight and shouted to them, "Listen up! Our enemy isn't humans, but that kingdom that has been oppressing the demon race for thousands of years. We're helping the Duchy's army, doing them a favor, and then getting them to help us. This is for the greater good! Anyone who has a problem with this, come out here! I'll teach you! Tell me loudly! Anyone have a problem with this?!"

"No!!!"

The members of the forced march all understood the Demon King's meaning and had no objections to his decision. Xuanze nodded in satisfaction and nudged Saiwei.

“Tell them the characteristics of the Duchy’s army,” Xuanze whispered behind him.

Is the goal to make the demons remember the characteristics of the Duchy's army to avoid friendly fire?

Savi nodded, strode forward with his head held high, and said loudly, "Greetings, warriors! I am Savi, the prince who entrusted you with this mission. I understand the situation to some extent now, so thank you for your cooperation! I hope we can achieve a good working relationship! I entrust this to you all!"

Although Xuanze later criticized Sai for lacking authority, it didn't affect him much. After briefly explaining the characteristics of their ducal army to the members of the forced march, Sai set off.

The primary fighting force consists of Savi, Xuanze, Xiao, Heiyu, and Aiye, as well as the temporarily added "Sin" Markiri, the great general of the demon race.

After learning the details, the general volunteered to join the advance team of the forced march. Other demon cadres also wanted to join, but Xuanze rejected them all.

"You've all run away! What about the army?!"

That's it.

Since meeting Li, Savi has found that his world has changed drastically, especially regarding demons and the Demon King. Although the demons were different before, they are now trustworthy partners.

"My Lord Demon King, we can already see the Dragon King," Markiri said in a low voice.

"Ah, I saw it too," Xuanze nodded, then addressed everyone, "Do your best to save people, the battle has begun."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

"Those guys are here! Don't let them get away!!!"

"Tsk! What are you guys doing!? Pfft—!?"

"The Dragon King's attack is coming! Quick—Aaaaaaaah!?"

"This guy's still alive! Quick, give him some medicine!"

"Bastards! Get out of here! What are you doing?!"

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive! Don't let them escape! It's all for the King's long-cherished wish—!!!"

This could no longer be called a battle; everyone was frantically swinging their weapons in order to survive, killing their own kind, and then being killed by the Dragon King.

This was a clash of primal instincts; fanaticism and bloodlust had long filled their minds. Since the hero was gone and everyone was going to die here anyway, they might as well risk their lives to pave the way for the king's ideals.

Two days ago, the kingdom's army was attacked by the Dragon King for trespassing into his territory. At the same time, the hero went missing.

The hero is gone; he disappeared in the battle.

This was devastating news for each of them. How could they possibly stand against the existence of this world that was akin to "violence"?

With the heroes gone and their chances of survival slim, they began to retreat toward the kingdom. The Dragon King attacked them almost constantly. They fled and fled... but what was the point?

They fled for two days without eating, drinking, or sleeping, but the Dragon King still didn't let them go. Both their minds and bodies were on the verge of collapse. At this time, they encountered support from the Duchy.

But... does that mean we can contend with the Dragon King? Ha... how could that be...?

The result was the same: they were ravaged and slaughtered by the Dragon King without any mercy. No matter how desperately the duchy resisted, it was all in vain.

At some point, a knight from one kingdom raised his sword and felled a soldier from another duchy… He felled the ducal man, then mounted him and plunged his blood-stained sword into the dying man’s throat.

The duchy's soldiers fell silent... Everyone around stared dumbfounded at the knight, only able to hear mournful cries and dragon roars, as if time had been frozen by the Dragon King.

"Ah...ah, ahh ...

Despite his hoarse voice, it sounded incredibly loud, and after that shout, the royal army launched their final riot, taking up their weapons once more.

What was their goal? It was, of course, to slaughter every single person in the duchy, leaving none alive. Even if someone investigated, they would probably only be able to see that it was the Dragon King's doing.

Kill, kill, kill.
