Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

Chapter 30 The Demon Knight - 1



Step Step

The Meatscappers looked ahead in horror at the strong, unknown man and woman walking toward them who just killed the guards that they feared most easily.

Max and Ravenna stood before them. Max said, looking down. "So, I want to take you all under me, but…"

Max crouched down and said, meeting each other's eyes. "...Tell me, where is your lord?"

The Meatscrapers shook their heads, and waved their hands, possibly indicating that they didn't know themselves.

"Max, it looks like we have to take these guys away for now. We will come later to clear the demon knight." Ravenna suggested from behind.

Max sighed, knowing they had to delay a big fight. He was about to stand up, but a Meatscaper bravely came forward and said while moving its hands. "Arghh…Ahhh…Graagga.."

Max raised his eyebrows as he could identify who this Meatscraper was. It was the one that just got beaten earlier by that Swinefiend. He looked at this Meatscaper and felt it was a bit unique compared to other ones, as it had a brave front and not much fear could be seen in its eyes.

"What are you trying to say, little guy? Are you saying you know where your lord is?" Max asked, tilting his head.

That Meatscraper nodded his head, acting a bit eager too, possibly wanting to show the lord to Max quickly and let him kill its lord.

"You can calm down, little guy. I will kill you, lord." Max said with a smirk on his face while standing up. "But you have to me sho- "

"Ehhh? I guess we don't have to go on an expedition." Max's face turned indifferent again.

Ravenna also turned her back and said."Max, should I give you a little hand?"

"No, I want to move this rusty body of mine a little." Max grinned, looking at the giant figure in front of him.

The Meatscrapers behind Max and Ravenna started shaking in fear, hurdling together more, except the one that just talked to Max. It stood on its ground while controlling its fear and looked at Max's straight and firm back.

The figure in front of Max and Ravenna was a ten-meter-long, stout demon with a pig head. It had bulging muscles and not much fat on its belly. It had a vicious-looking face with red eyes.

From its nose, hot steam would blow out from time to time.

[ Ding ]

[ Urgent Task has been issued. ]

[ Task: Take control of a demon knight's place

Synopsis: Kill the boss of this place, Swinefiend General and claim its place.

Punishment: Humiliation ]

[ Swinefiend General (5th Stage Energy Cultivator): The demon knight of this forest, Through excessive usage of Common Mana Crystal and devouring other demons flesh, his genes have mutated and he has gained newfound strength. ]

Constant notifications popped up in front of Max, completely covering his sight. Giving them a quick glance, he removed these.

Looking at the Swinefiend General who was grabbing its giant axe and kicking the ground, Max thought. 'This pig has a big bounty. I hope it doesn't disappoint.'

Max got his katana out, holding it in his right hand and walked forward. Just as Max had taken his third step, the Swinefiend General vanished from its spot and came, charging toward Max in full speed.

[ Wild Charge ]

A skill that it learned after breaking through to Energy Cultivator. It helps it to shoot its body in a single line at extreme speed.

'Fast.' Max was surprised at the Swinefiend General's arrival before him. Still, Max didn't get too fazed, he leaped up to dodge its horizontal swing. Floating in midair like a squirrel, Max watched the giant axe zoomed beneath him, creating a huge wine blast.

Bhassss!

The ground behind Max had its upper soil ripped apart. Various pebbles and dirt flew toward Ravenna with a strong wind carrying it.

Ravenna swiped her left hand from left to right. The blood on the dead Swinefiend's body flew out in a large chunks and formed a blood shield in front of Ravenna.

The blood shield blocked the pebbles, dirt, and wind, letting the Meatscraper behind Ravenna be safe and not get blown away by the wind.

Max, who was in midair, was about to come down, but his eyes widened when he saw the Swinefiend General, who in a matter of seconds pulled its axe over its head and gave a vertical slash at Max while saying in a hoarse voice. "Die!"

Max came up with a solution in that span of time as he pointed his left palm upwards in the axe's direction. The next second, a surge of purple fire shot out from his palm, making contact with the descending axe.

BOOM

An explosion occurred that blew Max away as he slid on the ground while, on the other hand, the Swinefiend General took a few steps back.

The Swinefiend General looked at Max in surprise, as it had not seen any demons using magic, at least not the ones it killed. Its eyes widened, firming its will to kill Max, or he might become a huge blockade on its path. "...I…kill…you…"

"You mindless beast, do you know only these words?" Max squinted his eyes and pulled his sword backwards. "I will let you know who will kill who?"

Bang

Max vanished from his spot where the soil was dug open and appeared beside the Swinefiend in a split second. He has used the purple thunder on his feet to boost his speed.

Max swung his sword, which was burning with purple fire. The Swinefiend General didn't have the time to use its axe to defend, so it used its arm to block.

Boom

The Swinefiend General took a step back and looked at its left arm, where a cut could be seen that had its sides charred. Madness quickly filled its eyes, and it roared out loud.

Max quickly emerged out of the smoke, not caring about its emotion. He grabbed his katana with both hands and pierced it into the Swinefiend General's right shoulder.

Boom
