Xu Jun stood up, stretching his arms and legs, and felt that nothing was wrong. After the Demon King"s death, the sky became clear, and sunlight once again shone upon this land. Xu Jun felt a sense of nostalgia which came from finally being able to bask in the sunlight again. He wrapped himself up using some bandages; for his more severe wounds, he treated them using Light G.o.d"s Teachings, a magic scroll given to him by that Holy Son; finally his body was only losing a bit of health, the rate being about one health point every five minutes; now, being a max level hero, he has five thousand points in his health bar…… eating a vegetable soup can already recover five hundred health points.
The slow, bleeding debuff is probably because of the residual dark elements on this land.
Also, the corpse of the Demon King is lying in the center of this land.
The Demon King–who had already died–finally, was not being enveloped by a black mist, leaving his true form exposed. He had always appeared using his ident.i.ty as "His Highness Dark Demon King Rozenke," the foggy air circling around him as he moves without touching the ground, his height at 190 cm and the fog field at 280 cm, he has a magnetic voice, yet the words he speaks make people want to fight him; Xu Jun had often fantasized about what his real appearance looked like, and always thought he definitely will look about the same as the few kings that he[1] met in games, who had been middle-aged men. When in the other career modes, or anything other than the hero cla.s.s"s highest difficulty, all would not show the corpse of the Demon King to the player, because the Demon King would not die, at the moment of his "death" his spirit would tear apart the body, letting his blood and flesh become black rain that would fall upon the earth, this is also a setting of the game.
Never thought that in the hero cla.s.s"s highest difficulty mode, a corpse is given, maybe there is some sort of Easter egg_(:зゝ∠)_Xu Jun reasoned.
However, now, now—
He saw the Demon King"s face and lost his voice.
The deceased Demon King"s face was giving off a bit of grey color, his eyes were also shut tight and there was no doubt that this was the body of an evil being.
–However! He! Is so d.a.m.n handsome ah!!!
A tall nose-bridge, slightly high brow ridge with deep set eyes, eyelashes so long that it seemed like he was wearing false eyelashes, Xu Jun expressed that the last time he saw eyelashes this long might"ve been at an anime convention, when he saw a pretty, older sister[2] cosplaying. His hair was black and smooth, making people want to ask him what conditioner he uses, his facial features so exquisite it looked like he had cosmetic surgery, but he did not seem feminine, but rather ten times more masculine, this is a very charming……corpse.
–Tell me Gale Dad, why did you make a boss so good-looking?!
Even me, the protagonist, cannot even beat him alright?! What are you doing?!
Xu Jun"s sight moved downwards; even though the Demon King used a lot of magic, he did not wear magus" robe, and was actually wearing something that looked like the armor worn by devil knights. This clothing was crafted entirely from pure, black soul stones, if it was sold, it could probably sell for thirty million, but most likely no one would buy as black soul stones are of the dark attribute, and who in this world still dares to use it ah?
Just like Xu Jun, the Demon King"s equipment is also tattered from the long battle—even until now, Xu Jun still has a boot missing—therefore, the Demon King"s black, rose-patterned, silk underclothes are exposed to the environment.
Xu Jun could not help but yell "F*ck": "Black, rose-patterned, silk ah! A complete article ah! F*ck, the local tyrant begs to cling to this thigh[3] ah!"
Originally he wanted follow the spirit of humanitarianism and dig a hole to bury the Demon King in: although it is only a boss within a game, but technically he had fought two months" worth of time, spread out, with him; in the midst of battle, he indeed felt some feelings of "respect" towards the boss, and naturally will not have the heart to leave this guy hanging like this. But now……
His hands piously reached out towards the Demon King"s corpse"s……neck, the area around the collar had already broken, but the underclothes inside were still fine: "Dear, I will bury you to show respect for you, but I will not hesitate to accept your underclothes as payment for this funeral……"
The weak spirit of the Demon King, who had flown out of his own body in the moment of his death: "……"
–What kind of condition is this hero in ah?!!! Where is the hypocritical, having achieved his ambition villain?! Lord of Flames, you reported false military intelligence ah! This is clearly an insane person whose mind is not clear ah!
That"s right, the Demon King, no matter what, could not understand; logically, as this hero had killed him, he should soon be very famous in the entire Shen Juan Continent, becoming the great hero of every country and race ah! The life of drunk beauties lying on his knee, and awakening with the world"s rights in his palm[4], is just around the corner! Why does he want to sell……sell his black rose, silk underclothes or whatever?
When he thought the last few words(a id = "txt5" href="5">[5], the Demon King….had become a little bit speechless_(:зゝ∠)_
After that, this hero did something even more shocking and illogical: this thing actually thought for a moment, then also decided to pull off his set of armor with boots, "Although the goods are made of black soul stone and are not convenient to wear outside, but little sister[6] Liya in White River town likes black, I can wear this when I propose to her~(≧▽≦)/~!”
At that time, the Dark Demon King Rozenke"s strong and arrogant inner heart collapsed.
He really wanted to say to the Lord of Flames, who reported false military intelligence: do you know what is called despair?
If the Lord of Flames were standing in front of him right now, he would definitely pick up this subordinate with one hand and beat them until they can"t even recognize themself.
–Didn"t you say this hero was a standard "fighter of justice"! Did you not say he was a hypocritical incompetent[7]! Did you not say other than being sanctimonious, he had nothing?!
Although he thought like this, the soul of His Majesty Dark Demon King Rozenke had to take a deep breath, right now there are more important matters, it"s best not to waste time on the Lord of Flames.
He closely watched as Xu Jun"s hand fell onto the chest of his "corpse," the next thing that might happen made his soul shiver, as soon as he thought that this hero actually wanted to strip him then bury him……he was of the heart to self-destruct his soul and perish along with the Hero.
Logically, when his soul stripped off its body and came out, he was thinking that he could enter Hero Xu Jun"s body and gradually wear away at his soul, and then obtain the Hero"s body, then continue to destroy the world.
But now? He can"t bother with that much.
#The Demon King had been defeated in every sense#
#Giving up on destroying the world with just this, never thought you were this kind of Demon King#
He spoke, trying to make his voice seem low but young; comparing to before, it is the difference between middle-aged men and small fresh meat. Actually, his original voice was just like this, because when he became the Demon King, by the standards of human society, he is still a "young man," and after becoming the Demon King, time will no longer leave any traces on his body; previously his voice had been contaminated with dark elements, of course it was also to prevent the petty and low humans from discovering his true appearance..
Originally, Hero Xu Jun was also a part of the "petty and low mankind," but now this petty and low human"s hands are already touching his body…… if he knows his real voice then just let him know_(:зゝ∠)_
After all, he has already seen his face.
"Hero Xu Jun," he called with a low voice: "I thank you, you have brought light to the world……" But your mission has not yet ended, do not put your sight on the Demon King who has already become the past, grip your longsword, your future is a path covered in thorns. While speaking, he was also adding a bewitching effect to his words, as the condition of Hero Xu Jun, who just defeated the Demon King, in terms of his mentality must be relaxed, would not be as tense as when in a battle, so he can be easily controlled.
Xu Jun"s hands paused.
Demon King Rozenke just then slightly relaxed: it was effective! He increased the power of the bewitchment, and was about to continue talking—
When he heard Xu Jun turn pale with fright: "Who are you?! F*ck, where are you talking from?!"
"That"s not right! My surrounding do not have even one living organism—are you a ghost?!!!" Xu Jun stood up, fl.u.s.tered, and turned around, his two hands clasped together: "F*ck?! This one"s the most afraid of ghosts!!!!" QAQ
Demon King Rozenke: So you killed so many spirits and still say you"re afraid of ghosts, are you joking with me?!!!
The Author has something to say:
Xu Jun: You don"t understand! Evil spirits are only normal monsters! But ghosts are ghosts ah!
Demon King Rozenke: ……Is there a difference?
Xu Jun RPG adventure games and horror games! You tell me if there is a difference or not! QAQ!
[However the Demon King didn"t actually understand, but instead, comfortingly rubbed the Hero"s dog head]
Translator’s Niche:
[1]A lot of p.r.o.nouns are used in the raw, making it confusing, just as a note, this is Xu Jun. Return
[2]Older sister doesn’t mean she is literally his sister. It’s just a reference to someone who seems older, but not by much. If they were older then one would say aunt, and even older than that, grandmother. Return
[3]To cling to someone’s thigh is to ride on their successes.Don’t know how else to describe it… Return
[4]Umm, just a very long way of saying the ideal life that people want. Basically that. Return
[5]So I decided to leave something out here. The literal states that the last words are "underclothes"(which is two words in Chinese) and it is in the raws, but I changed it a bit to fit better with the translation. Return
[6]Similar to [2], but this time it is for someone younger. Return
[7]I just translated the Chinese as ‘incompetent’ because the literal is someone who is not doing any work for themselves and relying on others to support themselves. Return
Oh. One thing I think I should mention is that the “child” in the t.i.tle is more literally translated as treasure, or something that is dear to oneself. Usually people use it to mean child though.
