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

Crunch

Ravenna took a bite out of the last of the remaining KitKat and caressed her cheeks. "Max, this is so good. Where did you get this? You don't ever tell me."

Max walked with black lines all over his face. "Didn't I tell you, I picked those up from the streets? It is your choice if you want to believe it or not. Lastly, can you stop eating those? We only have two left in the stocks."

Max felt like he was about to cry. He wanted to save a few for his daughter, as he didn't know if he would ever get them again. But Ravenna had snatched all of those with her cute nagging.

Ravenna put out her tongue and bonked her head herself.

"Ahh~" Max let out a helpless sigh and then went back to his original mood. "Forget it; let's just do what we came here for."

Ravenna nodded her head and led Max toward the cave.

A few minutes later, Max and Ravenna arrived before a short cave that was on the bottom of a hill.

Max used [ Enhanced Senses ] to check if there was any kind of danger inside the cave. After seeing there were none inside the cave, Max signaled Ravenna to enter.

Max took the lead, and Ravenna followed behind him. The cave was just an ordinary one, with moist walls and a small space.

However, Max and Ravenna didn't care about that, their attention was grabbed by the beating, pulsating egg at the end of the cave.

Max stood before the egg and watched to see if it had the same reaction as Ravenna's.

But to Max's dismay, it didn't. He brought his katana out and cut off its top.

Crack-Slash

The egg cracked open, and blood splashed down from it. Max and Ravenna stepped back to not get their feet wet.

"Ahh…" Max and Ravenna heard a painful groan as they were backing down. They looked carefully and saw a small, malnourished demon still lying in the egg.

It raised its head toward Max and Ravenna, showing its face fully.

Max and Ravenna saw a bony face that had sharp fangs coming out of its mouth and bloodthirsty eyes, despite just being forcefully hatched.

"Ahh…" It growled and crawled at them with its sharp claws. It would growl from time to time, like it was announcing to them that it was coming to get their blood.

Max came before it and looked at it with a deadpan face.

The demon started to fling its claw intensely, as if it wanted to rip its prey apart in shreds.

Max raised his katana, and looked at the demon below him. "Just at 1st Stage Health Seeker Realm and you already want to kill us. What a mindless idiotic creature."

Ching-Thud

The demon's head rolled on the ground while its body twitched a little, and eventually it also flopped to the ground.

Max retracted his katana back."Let's leave."

Max walked out of the cave as Ravenna followed behind him.

Coming out of the cave, Ravenna asked curiously. "Why did you kill it? It could be your subordinate too."

"No, I don't want something as mindless as that." Max said, walking forward. "I was expecting someone to have intelligence like you. I don't like bloodthirsty creatures like that, even beasts are better than them."

"Oh," Ravenna memorized these lines as she felt this might be useful in the future.

"Here is another one." Max pulled out a KitKat and handed it to Ravenna.

Ravenna was surprised, as Max would never give her this willingly.

"Why are you giving me this?" Ravenna took the KitKat and started eating it already while she asked this.

A smile appeared on Max's face, seeing her behavior. He answered with a bit of melancholy. "Because I am glad that I have someone like you."

Ravenna didn't know why he was saying it like that, but she was happy to hear him say he was glad to have her.

Max walked silently as he felt the peaceful nature of the forest with the addition of Ravenna's crunching noise. He could say he didn't hate it.

This past year was the most peaceful time in his life.

…

Night came shortly after.

Max and Ravenna had just finished dinner, and now they were resting on top of the tree's branch, gazing at the naked sky. This was their routine for this past year.

It was not Ravenna's favorite thing to do at first, but Max made her fall in love with it. Max got this habit of gazing at the night sky because of the prophecy.

When Max looked at the sky, he felt like he was watching his daughter.

"Max, where are the stars today in the sky?" Ravenna curiously asked, as she could not find any star in the clear sky. Only the dark space and the moon shining down on them.

Max became stumped; he was in a daze, so he didn't focus on the sky, but now that he looked carefully, there truly wasn't any star in the sky. "Where di-?

Max stopped in the middle of his sentence because of the sight in front of him. Ravenna also looked up in shock like Max.

Because currently they were seeing countless stars lighting up the sky, and there seems to be no end to it.

"Is it happening?" Ravenna remembered Hart's story, and her eyes lit up. "Is it just like the old man?"

Max nodded his head with wide eyes, not trying to miss a single moment.

Not only them; the entire world was witnessing this event.

…

In a glorious kingdom that was full of prosperity.

One could see a man sitting on a throne inside a luxurious castle. The man was wearing a cape, and a golden crown was on top of his head. Because of the darkness, it was hard to see his face, but one could feel the might of an emperor emanating from him.

The man raised his head and gazed at the ceiling; his gaze pierced through it and could see what was happening outside.

"Oh, so it has finally started. I waited the entire night just for this, but it's worth it. This king is fortunate to witness such an event as told by the past kings. Come, young ones, the Mystic Heaven World is waiting for your arrivals!"
