The Great Demon King

Chapter 50 "Hard reality "

An ear-piercing round scream was first heard, then all sorts of sounds followed, coming from a house on the left side of the alley. After a while, Beacher and the others came out dragging the soaked Claude, who was not quite there.

Irene's face was full of anger as she grimly lectured Claude while looking at him. He spoke loudly, “Claude, you are disgusting. I never want to see you again! Katie, let's go. ”

With the way things had progressed, Han Shuo knew that his revenge had been tightened and that there was no further need to survive. When she saw Irene and Katie walking quickly towards her, she hurriedly hid herself and casually walked back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Han Shuo took a bath and then sat cross-legged on the bed to practice magic. The magical yuan slowly expanded its meridians inch by inch. Han Shuo gritted his teeth against the heart-wrenching pain and constantly circulated his magical yuan according to the instructions of the “open section region”.

Unbearable pain often accompanies the process of magic training. This caused Han Shuo's personality to shift from being previously unswerving to being assertive. Whether it was his will or ability to endure pain, Han Shuo significantly improved both.

Han Shuo's entire personality and character subconsciously continued to change with the advent of magic practices. As his strength slowly increased, the previously shy and frightened Han Shuo had undergone a great change. The way he looked at and understood many things was very different from the thoughts he held before.

Dense, blunt footsteps suddenly sounded in Han Shuo's heart. Han Shuo suddenly stopped all magic training, held his breath, and concentrated. All of his bodily functions were instantly immersed in a frozen and motionless state.

The footsteps heard until now came from the southern intersection of the city of Drol and the Dark Forest. Based on the stupidity and rhythm of the thud, Han Shuo was able to draw the conclusion that this came from a magical being at high speed. The weight of these creatures must have been heavier than that of flower seeds, and their number consisted of more than a few.

Furrowing his brows, Han Shuo thought for a moment and walked out of the hotel, slowly moving towards the magical beast, wanting to see what the situation was.

Just as Han Shuo had emerged from the hotel and arrived at the southern street of Drol, two figures also rushed over with hasty looks. It was an old, skinny witch and a female elf archer with green-tipped ears. The two showed shocked expressions seeing Han Shuo on arrival, as if they did not think that Han Shuo would be here.

“Little boy, what are you doing here?” The skinny little witch looked at Han Shuo and asked with a smile.

From their cautious attitude, Han Shuo understood that they most likely also detected a disturbance coming from the south. Weighing everything internally, Han Shuo bowed slightly and replied, “Her Majesty, I became separated from my friends. They said they'd be back here after a few days, so I've been waiting here. ”

The witch nodded and frowned considering. He said to the female elf archer next to him, “Blanche, go look up and see if it was the wolf rider of the orcs. They always sent wolf riders every year before winter to attack and plunder villages on the outer edge of the Empire.

But the city of Drol was in a unique location and was filled with many adventurers and mercenaries. The Orcs had never sent wolf riders to attack Drol, why were they acting so strange this time? Not to mention there is still a bit of time before winter! ”

“Yes, Mr. Felix.” After hearing the words of the old witch Felix, the female elf archer named Blanche immediately headed south, floating in front of Han Shuo like a gust of wind.

“Little boy, the city of Drol is not a peaceful place. It's late at night, so you should come back early to rest. Your friends should come looking for you when they come back, so there's no need to keep waiting here. "Felix looked at Han Shuo with a smile as he tried to convince Han Shuo.

“Alright, then I'll be back now,” Han Shuo responded calmly and started choosing his way back as soon as he finished speaking.

After Han Shuo left, Felix pondered while staring strangely at the figure of Han Shuo retreating. He finally muttered to himself after a while. “I must have thought too much about the situation .. There is no way this brat would have been more like me, a wind noble!”

On the way back to his hotel, Han Shuo noticed that several other people were walking out of the nearby hotel with the same shocked expression, hurriedly walking to the south street. It seemed like they had also detected the disturbance and went to the southern road to check everything.

“Bryan, I have business with you! Come here for a second! ”On the way back, Han Shuo hit Claude on the road to the hotel. Claude's face was very overcast, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Staring at Claude foolishly, Han Shuo thought furiously. At this moment, Han Shuo understood that his actions at the hotel just now were still too heavy and impulsive. When Claude regained consciousness, he would definitely detect the condition of his body and naturally conclude that it was something caused by Leylan Purple in the hotel. Claude is not a fool. Only Irene and Han Shuo were on the table back then, and Irene would never do anything like this. Connecting the dots when the maid suddenly stumbled, Claude must have put aside the entire situation.

“Oke.” Han Shuo thought carefully and knew that the situation was bad. He prepares for a brutal beating from Claude as he follows behind the knights, walks slowly out of Drol and arrives at a remote patch of forest south of Drol.

The moonlight filtered through the forest as the insects chirped lightly nearby. However, Han Shuo's sensitive ears were able to catch a low breath from Claude's extremely depressed anger.

It looks like it's going to be a big surprise. Han Shuo thought wryly, but did not feel too afraid. He had already gotten used to the beatings all along and knew the situation of his body quite well. He knew that the usual kind of punch would not be able to hurt him, so his heart was relatively calm.

Pa.

Just when he thought wryly, a ringing slap made him stagger to the left before he was able to react preventively. It was a good thing that Han Shuo's body far exceeded that of a normal person. He calmed himself down in the chaos, regained his footing, and furrowed his face as he smiled wryly at Claude.

“You lowly slave. Pigs! Who do you think you are planning to fight against me !? ” Claude's strongly suppressed rage finally exploded. An ugly and fiery face stared at Han Shuo like his usual, bright, polite demeanor had long disappeared above the clouds.

Pilapala. Waves of attacks rained down on Han Shuo's body. Han Shuo clutched his head with both hands and did not raise it in self-defense, receiving an attack from Claude's anger. He finally suddenly curled up into a ball and fell to the ground, it seemed like he could not take another hit.

“Well, does it hurt? I'm not gonna let you die so easily. Do you know who I am? I'm Claude Asche, son of the Imperial Gryphon Legion commander, Commander Bob Asche. You lowly submissive boy dared to oppose Me and ruin My relationship with Irene. I will make you suffer and suffer before letting you die slowly. Ahahahah. ”Claude stared intently at Han Shuo as he pulled his long sword with a cold smile, walking slowly towards Han Shuo.

Up until now, Han Shuo finally understood that he had always made a huge mistake. Whether it was Fitch or Bach, his methods always contained a huge amount of risk. With his status as a slave, no matter who killed him, they would not have to endure too many counterattacks. Even if Bach killed him, the Academy would probably just reprimand him for a few words and demand some gold coins as compensation.

Han Shuo originally thought that Claude would at least brutally beat him up for a joke like this, but the result now finally facilitated Han Shuo in understanding the harsh reality. Claude not only wanted him dead this time, but also wanted him to fully experience the suffering and pain before dying. This is a bitter reality.

At that moment, Han Shuo finally understood what kind of world this was. Status and position are the basis, integral existence. There was a gaping difference in status between the two, allowing Claude to kill him without any objections and without the need to shoulder any special responsibilities. Claude called him to this desolate forest because he did not want to ruin his status and noble self. Even if he killed Han Shuo in Drol, it would come true without anyone thinking about it twice.

Growth always comes with a cost. Han Shuo curled up on the ground, still emitting loud wails and pleas for mercy. A heart, which only harbored faint evil thoughts, slowly hardened from the cold.

“I'll cut you into pieces, let you wail while bleeding.” You will slowly, fully experience the pain before dying. Remember your status in your next life. You're just a slave, pig. Never try to challenge your boss' anger. ”Claude sneered sinisterly as the long sword in his hand pierced towards the chest of a Han Shuo who looked too long due to losing the ability to defend himself.

At this moment, the continuous howls suddenly disappeared as Han Shuo's curved figure suddenly moved, rolling towards Claude's feet. His speed was such that it caught Claude off guard.

When Claude was about to dodge, he suddenly let out a terrifying lament. Several iron needles stuck out from the tip of his foot, firmly nailing his foot to the ground. Waves of bone-cutting pain radiate from the lower abdomen. Claude lowered his head to find a dagger sticking out of his stomach. Han Shuo looked at him with a cold and distant gaze, the look in his eyes giving Claude a very foreign feeling.

“I am the son of the Gryphon League commander. You goddamn slave, how dare you hurt me? ”Claude's body was wracked with pain as she shouted in a weak voice.

“Thank you for telling me the truth of the truth. It is because of your pride status that not only will it hurt you, I will kill you! ”

After saying these words in a distant tone, another iron needle appeared in Han Shuo's right hand and directly pierced through Claude's throat amidst Claude's terror-filled scream.
