Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 84 The Demon King's Daughter

After the rally-like event concluded, Charlotte took the lead and walked at the very front, marching out of the capital with the other adventurers in high spirits, before engaging in battle with the Demon King's army.

"—That felt so good!!"

From the start of the battle, Charlotte felt incredibly exhilarated. After gaining an amplification by inserting the cross into the ground, he put on his boxing gloves and took down the minions one punch at a time.

The Demon King's army has no discipline whatsoever; they just yell and charge forward in a chaotic manner, offering themselves up for slaughter. Moreover, the monsters are basically limited to kobolds, ogres, and goblins.

Charlotte is essentially mowing down enemies like a mowing-down field in Musou.

Also mowing down enemies in Musou mode were Yujian Xiangye and Youyou. Each time they attacked, they could sweep away a large number of small monsters, gradually clearing out a large open space.

The other adventurers probably noticed this as well, and they spontaneously surrounded Charlotte and the others, using the amplification effect of the magic circle to fight the Demon King's army, and killed many enemies in a short time.

but……

"So weak." Charlotte said in surprise, "Although the Demon King's army often wins by sheer numbers, others should be able to hold out against this as well. It doesn't seem like it's that difficult."

"If only it were this bad."

"That's what a middle-aged man, panting heavily, said."

"What do you mean?"

"The Demon King's army isn't very strong. The Knights and we can barely hold them off, but that's the current situation. You have to understand, just half a month ago, the Demon King's army was attacking every day, sometimes twice a day, leaving everyone exhausted."

"is that so……"

Ultimately, isn't it all about winning through sheer numbers?

Charlotte couldn't help but complain.

But this situation is even more frustrating, especially when the initiative is in the hands of the other party. It is exhausting and difficult to respond in time whenever you want to fight back.

"But this time, it's all thanks to you guys. If it weren't for your magic circle, I might have already given up and slunk away to the back."

"What are you saying? You're still going strong for your age."

"Haha, that's so comforting to hear." The uncle laughed heartily, then added, "And the Demon Sword Hero and that little Crimson Demon girl, maybe this time they really can—"

"Danger!!"

In that instant of distraction, a massive fireball descended from the sky, engulfing the two of them. The intense heat was unbearable. If it had hit them, they would surely have been burned to a crisp.

Upon discovering this, Charlotte instinctively pushed the older man, and they both fell to the ground in the distance.

There was a bang.

The fireball created a large crater, and the powerful impact sent the two men flying several meters away, where they rolled several times on the ground, covered in dust.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

"He... won't die."

The uncle coughed several times and struggled to his feet with Charlotte's help.

Black smoke billowed from the crater, and dark, glass-like objects, clearly crystals formed by the intense heat, surrounded its edges. Charlotte had only ever witnessed such overwhelming power in Megumin's Explosion Magic.

"Mr. Charlotte!?"

"Charlotte, are you alright!?"

Yu-Yu and Yu-Jian Xiang-Ye rushed over after noticing the anomaly, and they were also amazed by the exaggerated power of the magic.

"Hmph, you missed? You're lucky."

At that moment, a cold snort came from the air.

I subconsciously looked up.

She was an extremely beautiful woman with a perfect figure, curvaceous and shapely. She wore a fiery red suit of armor, and her resolute face exuded a heroic air. Her short black hair seemed to be proving something, yet she had horns on her head and flew in the sky without wings.

Although I have never met her, I have already vaguely sensed it.

"She is the daughter of the Demon King."

The man gasped, it was unclear whether he was in pain or frightened.

"Uncle," Charlotte said, casting a healing spell on him to ensure he wasn't injured, "Go tell the others to stay away from here for now."

"...Okay, I understand."

The middle-aged man nodded seriously, then quickly left. With his abilities, he couldn't be of much help, and he was easily caught in the crossfire; it was best to stay away from this place.

The Demon King's daughter slowly descended.

It was only then that I realized she was very tall, a head taller than Charlotte, at least 2 meters. But her proportions were quite good, so she didn't look strange at all.

Her eyes were beastly pupils, and her teeth were very sharp. It was these subtle and unusual features that made Charlotte realize that the Demon King's daughter was not a real human.

"How rude of me to make a sudden move."

"Don't talk such nonsense. This is a battlefield; there's no such thing as a sneak attack here."

She was not provoked.

The Demon King's daughter arrogantly raised her chin and said, "You lot are not bad. I saw you take down quite a few Demon King soldiers from the rear. You must be some of the stronger people on the human side, right?"

It must have been because the three of them stood out too much that the Demon King's daughter decided to eliminate them.

"I……"

"let me."

Mikami Hibiki stopped Charlotte, seemingly intent on a one-on-one duel with the Demon King's daughter, and he was particularly serious about it. Could it be that Charlotte's defeat of the Headless Horseman had made him feel he couldn't be weaker than others, and he was now harboring a competitive spirit?

"Leave it to me this time. No matter what, I can't lose to you."

It really is!

"If I defeat the Demon King's daughter, will Lady Aqua praise me?"

Yu Jianxiang dreamt of it all night.

But Charlotte was certain that she wouldn't do that; that silly goddess didn't care about such things. However, if she could give her the reward money she received, maybe she would be in a good mood and praise her a couple of times.

The Demon King's daughter scoffed, "The three of you can come at me all at once, it doesn't matter."

"I refuse." The demonic sword in Mikami Hibiki's hand shone brightly, and he declared like a hero, "I am recognized by the Goddess, the Demonic Sword Hero!"

"The Demon Sword Hero?"

The Demon King's daughter raised an eyebrow. She no longer meant to underestimate Mikasa Hibiki, after all, the title of Demon Sword Hero was widely known in the Demon King's army.

"Well then, I'll go for it—"

With a single stride, Mikami Hibiki charged toward the Demon King's daughter, shouting as she raised her demonic sword high and brought it down with unstoppable force!

The Demon King's daughter took a small step back, creating some distance, and then, just before Mikami Hibiki drew his sword to attack again, she raised her long leg and kicked him hard in the stomach.

"Pfft—"

Drops of glistening saliva splattered down, and Yu Jianxiangye's eyes rolled back as he was kicked dozens of meters away, sword and all.

"Sword Control!!"

"Hibiya!!!?" X2

Charlotte made the Erkang gesture and shouted. Clementine and Fio screamed and ran quickly toward the landing point. Seriously, these two lackeys are so inconspicuous. When did they arrive?

And Yujian, what are you trying to do to look cool, you idiot? I even had a little bit of hope for you.

think carefully.

Even the high-ranking demon Houst couldn't defeat Yujian Xiangye, so how could he possibly defeat the daughter of a demon king who is on par with the Duke of Hell?

It wasn't just him.

The Demon King's daughter also showed a disappointed expression. Perhaps she thought the Demon Sword Hero was very powerful, but she didn't expect him to be a pretty face who could be defeated in one move. A look of contempt appeared on her face.
