Layel lay on the ground pathetically, her expression filled with self-doubt as she stared at the sky in silence.
She'd lost. She'd already planned to perish together with him. She'd used everything she had, but she still couldn't hurt him.
He didn't need air, and the sun couldn't hurt him. She couldn't think of a way to defeat him.
"Now, can we talk?"
A man's voice sounded. Layel was panting. Her current appearance was unbearable to look at. Her hair was messy, her glasses were broken, and her clothes were tattered.
But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that she didn't have any magic power or strength to resist.
She'd heard many stories about how the demons treated prisoners of war. Their methods were extremely cruel. They wouldn't let human prisoners die easily. Instead, they used all sorts of terrifying magic to make them wish they were dead.
Of course, what scared her the most was what those humanoid demons did to female humans.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
The man's voice sounded again, closer.
Layel showed a pained expression. Finally, she made a difficult decision. She suddenly stuck out her tongue and bit down.
But the pain she imagined didn't happen. She'd clearly bitten something. When she opened her eyes, she saw two fingers in her mouth.
The man with black hair and black pupils had stopped her from biting her tongue.
The Demon King was already used to being glared at with resentment. In order to prevent the other party from doing something stupid, he used magic to numb the other party's jaw, so she couldn't help but open her mouth and stick out her tongue. Of course, she couldn't speak.
But soon, she was shocked. She saw that the white-haired Grano was tied up by his tail. His eyes were closed, and she didn't know if he was alive or dead.
"Let's make a deal. I can save him. You just need to listen to me, and then you can leave."
How could Layel believe him? How could there be such a good deal in the world? That was impossible. She knew that he must have some evil plan.
But she didn't have any magic power now, and she didn't know if Grano was dead or alive.
"Ugh …"
At that moment, Grano suddenly let out a pained gasp.
Seeing this, Layel immediately understood that he'd used that move! His body probably couldn't recover.
But he seemed to have seen through her thoughts. The Demon King's tail suddenly glowed blue, and Grano's pained expression eased a lot.
What's going on?
Layle was stunned. The other party could actually heal irreversible damage?
"What do you think? You just have to nod or shake your head to remind him that he can't hold on for much longer. His heart has already begun to dissolve."
Layel's eyes widened. She knew that she shouldn't be affected by her personal feelings right now.
But to her, Grano was as important as a parent. Ever since she was young, he had been her nanny, friend, teacher, and even a reliable companion.
She opened her mouth wide and finally nodded.
The Demon King revealed a friendly smile. Although that was what he thought, in her eyes, it was as if he was a demon looking at a delicacy, and that delicacy was herself.
What surprised Layel the most was that he only managed to heal Grano's injuries. Although she didn't know how he did it, it was truly inconceivable. If he were a human, this spell would make him a famous Magus and influence the future generations for thousands of years to come.
Unfortunately, he was a demon.
Grano quickly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Layle with her tongue out and himself being supported by a strange man.
He was stunned and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but he realized that his sword wasn't on him and there wasn't a trace of magic on him.
Soon, he understood what had happened. He didn't die, and neither did Layle. They must have been captured.
"Then, please follow me to a place."
The Demon King said and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the space around the three was enveloped by an invisible bubble and they disappeared.
When Layle and Grano came back to their senses, they were already in an unfamiliar place.
"What terrifying spatial magic. It's comparable to Princess Wight's."
Layle revealed a shocked expression. Among all the people she had seen, only the eccentric Princess Wight could use such exquisite spatial magic.
But she had never heard of such a demon.
Suddenly, a fear of the unknown arose spontaneously. In this vast world, would there be many more monsters like him?
In the forest, there was a small village under construction in the tall trees. There were many wooden stakes around and only a thin layer of snow covered the wooden houses.
Many carpenters and workers were working. What was strange was that they were all wearing fur clothes. One must know that fur clothes were very expensive.
But what Layle cared about the most was that she saw a demon with two high ears. It was a small demon that worked with humans and behaved like humans.
Layle was very familiar with the species of demons. She knew that this was a species that was classified as the least dangerous. Most of their areas were in the forest and they rarely came into contact with humans. They were naturally timid and didn't have much aggression.
But she didn't expect that these Neanderthals could live with humans.
At that moment, a burst of laughter rang out. Layle was attracted by the laughter and turned to look. She saw a few children playing around and having a snowball fight.
But she was stunned, because among those children, there were children of the Devil Clan, human children, and even Devil Race children.
Such a scene would make most people afraid and even call it despair.
But it was this scene that turned Layle's world upside down.
Could humans and demons coexist?
She had never thought of this. She had always been a member of the Vengeful Demon Sect, like most humans.
But now, it seemed that these demon children had the same innocent smiles as human children. They weren't like the storybooks where they killed their siblings to survive so that they could have more resources.
While she was still in a daze, a snowball hit her body. Lehr came back to her senses and saw the demon child who was at a loss.
The Demon King stopped and looked at him. The children's smiles disappeared. At that moment, a woman appeared. She had white scales on her cheeks and a white lizard tail behind her.
"Hehe! Why aren't you apologizing to him! "
She shouted at the little rabbit.
The Neanderthals pulled down their ears uneasily and slowly jumped in front of Layle.
Layle's face was pale, making her look a little scary.
"So … sorry."
The little rabbit lowered its head and said weakly.
Layle stood there in a daze. She said mechanically, "No, it's fine."
Then, the little rabbit ran back to its friends as if it was running away.
Looking at their backs, Layle really couldn't understand the difference between humans and demons …
