Demon King Priest

Chapter 6: Book of the Demon King

"What? The book of demon king!" Ulysses never expected that he would get such an answer. His previous inexplicable hunch really came true, but this answer was more than a hundred times worse than any worst result he could think of.

"Yes, the book of demon king or Book of Curses is the real name of this book. If you own it, you will inherit the power of the demon king, lord Astaroth and become a new demon king. And I, as the guardian of the book of the demon king, and a familiar Spirit will always be by your side, guiding you to practice and use the knowledge and power recorded in the book of the demon king by lord Astaroth." Aya looked at Ulysses with excitement, she looked like a big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood, making Ulysses shudder.

"Master, you have been recognized by the book of demon king at such a young age. You will definitely be the youngest demon king in history. Aya is proud to be your familiar spirit. Originally, Aya thought that the people who can be recognized by the book of the demon king must be the old men who have practiced the dark power for hundreds of thousands of years. Those old men have nothing but dark power in their heads, and they will probably not say a word for a hundred years, how can they chat with Aya like you, master. Aya is so happy."

"Wait! I'm a level four light mage. How could I be approved by the book of demon king! Could there be a mistake?" Although Ulysses couldn't withstand Aya's intense gaze, the matter was so important that he had to ask clearly. Ulysses still had such a trace of hope in his heart. He hoped that the book of the demon king had made a mistake, because no matter how he thought about it, as a light mage, how could he become a demon king.

"Eep? Master, you are actually a light mage." Aya was taken aback. This made the little hope in Ulysses's heart a bit bigger, but Aya's next words immediately shattered that little hope.

"But it doesn't matter. Since the book of demon king chose you, it means that you have the qualifications to become a demon king. As long as you have talent, race or profession doesn't really matter. And I heard that there was a former demon king named Lucifer who was a god of light before he became the demon king. Even a god can become the demon king, so master, you will not be a problem..."

"Wait!" Ulysses Interrupted Aya. Somehow, he always felt that there was something amiss about Aya's words. What is not right?' Ulysses began to think carefully about every word Aya had said. Aya looked at him curiously, not upset that Ulysses had interrupted her.

That's it!' Ulysses finally knew what was not right. In this world, there was only one supreme god who had the power of light, and there was no other god of light called Lucifer at all. Thinking along this line of thought, other doubts began to be exposed one by one. There had been only three terrifying demons known as "demon kings" on the continent since ancient times.

The first demon king appeared in ancient times, his name was Delka, and he was the king of the strongest race, vampires, among the demons at that time. In order to compete with mankind for the hegemony of the continent, he led the vampire race and a part of the dark races to launch an all-out war against mankind, known in history as the "war between humans and demons." In the early days of the war, the vampire race relied on their immortality and the special ability to turn other races into zombies through bloodsucking, defeating the human army and occupying most of the continent. But humans soon found the fatal weakness of the vampire race-their strength in the sun would be halved, and their heart would die if they were pierced by a silver weapon. From then on, the battle had been turned, and a large number of human armies equipped with silver weapons began to counterattack. Within three months, the vampire race and its allies were defeated, and the vampire race, the main enemy force, was exterminated by the human coalition forces. Delka himself was killed by Bla, the holy swordsman who owned the Phantasm "Holy Light Sword". According to legend, Delka was bloodthirsty, and the people who died in his hands were torn apart by him, so they were called "the demon king of blood".

The second demon king appeared five thousand years ago, named Kasar, whose body was an eight-headed dragon. This magic dragon mutated from a dark dragon had a strong power that surpassed any dragon race. The hardness of its dragon scale was more than ten times that of an ordinary dragon scale. There was no weapon or magic in the world that could hurt it. With its indestructible body, it looted all the cities on the continent. Under its lust, there was hardly a standing city on the continent. At this time, a peerless and powerful man named Carl was born. With the hardness of his Phantasm "Buster Sword" beyond Kasar's dragon scales and his own supreme martial arts skill, he beheaded Kasar and saved the continent. Because Kasar never let go of any flashing items when looting the city, he was called "the demon king of greed".

The last demon king appeared three hundred years ago, no one knew his name. Everyone only knew that his profession was a necromancer. Although no one had seen his true face, everyone agreed that he was the strongest of the three demon kings. Because he single-handedly started a war of the undead that swept across the continent. Under the control of its infinite magic energy, a death army composed of tens of millions of undead launched an attack against all the living on the continent. Under the absolute disadvantage of a strength ratio of several hundred to one or even several thousand to one, the armies of various races were defeated one after another, and many races were exterminated overnight.

In the end, with the exception of the three races of humans, beastmen, and elves, and the dragon races far abroad, the other races were almost completely wiped out. The continent's population dropped from more than two hundred million at its peak to less than three million, while the number of the undead was increased to more than a hundred million continuously. When everyone thought that the end of the world was coming, the death army disappeared from the continent strangely. No one knew the reason, and where did the hundreds of millions of undead and its manipulator go. This question had become a mystery forever. Although the death army disappeared, the horror and despair it once brought to the continent was forever etched in people's hearts. The death king whose real name was unknown has since been called the "demon king of terror."

"The names and deeds of the three demon kings on the continent can even be recited by a five-year-old child. There is no demon king called Astaroth or Lucifer at all! Aya, so this is just a joke, right?" Ulysses thought he had seen through Aya's little prank, and his mood improved all of a sudden.

"I'm not joking! You have never heard of the demon kings called Astaroth or Lucifer because neither Astaroth nor Lucifer is the demon king of this world. Master, you are not inheriting the power of the demon king of this world, so Master, your question is completely meaningless." Aya replied, making Ulysses petrified in an instant.

"Not from this world? Not from this world?" Ulysses repeated Aya's words repeatedly.

"Yes! This book of the demon king and I are not from this world! Ah! How incredible it is that we who belong to different worlds can meet and make a contract! Is this the so-called destiny! It seems, My master and I are destined to be together." Stars began to shine in Aya's eyes.

"No! This must be a dream! Um, yes, it is a dream! I'm feeling dizzy!" Ulysses had a suddenly realized expression on his face, and went back into the bed.

"Ah! Master, you can't do this! Escape will not solve any problems." A slightly complaining voice came from outside the bed.

"This is a dream, this is a dream, and it will disappear as soon as I wake up." Ulysses kept hypnotizing himself, and when he read it a hundred and fifty times, the Sandman finally visited him and made him fall asleep.
