Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

Reji spoke from the altar, looking down at the Wicked Demon, placidly shaking his head.

Human fear stems from the unknown.

Unfortunately for them, Reji's understanding of wicked demons was clearer than Lordan's own.

Human fear stems from the disparity in status.

Unfortunately, Reji was well aware that his destiny, named the Demon King, made him the king of all demon races, with Lordan as his apostle, a demon king's apostle, and thus his subordinate.

Human fear stems from past experiences.

Even more unfortunate, as someone who had once soloed Lordan without much difficulty, Reji held nothing but disdain for this defeated boss underling of his.

A fear aura breaks down on its own when the target feels no fear, even to the extent of scorning you.

Thus, in the game, the Wicked Demon Lordan, this boss, was evaluated by Reji as good at bullying the weak.

But not to speak of being under pressure; the moment he faced someone of equal footing, he would immediately falter, basically a wimp of a boss.

Lordan was just an appetizer, the real powerful one was something like the Sword Demon or Great Demon. Those had been the hardest nuts to crack for Reji, fighting with them for days.

"You're too weak, unworthy."

These words were spoken from the bottom of Reji's heart.

And now, in Lordan's head, the shock was far greater than his anger.

'Why?'

'Why was this human unaffected by my aura of fear?'

'This...this is wrong!'

He could clearly sense that the human on the altar was very weak, a unique "perception of the weak" talent of his as a Wicked Demon, which couldn't possibly be mistaken!

'But why...'

This human pretending to be the Demon King was not even afraid of him and could even look down on him?

It's like he's.

'The real Demon King!?'

Like what Reji predicted, Wicked Demons like Lordan are scared of something to be slightly uncontrollable and bully the weak properly, and Lordan was thrown into disarray.

Despite being humiliated in such a manner by him, Lordan didn't speak up, nor did he dare retort.

Because he was afraid.

Afraid that he was wrong, and what if Reji really was the Demon King?

Reji indeed didn't inherit the invincible attributes of the "Chosen One."

But the thousands of hours he spent in "Magic Chronicles" accumulating a hardcore level of world knowledge, still lingered in his mind.

"Pfft Hahahah~!"

Yet one of the apostles placed at the plaza of the altar couldn't resist and laughed out loud at Lordan's current state of trouble.

"Lordan, sorry, out of all those people from your Wicked Demon race, they made a fool like you their leader. Open your eyes. He is our king. That's the one who will lead our demon race to glory!"

A mocking retort came out from Succubus Eileen right away.

She returned the mockery Lordan had directed at her without any change.

Therefore, Reji turned his gaze towards Eileen.

This apostle had been the most protective of him from the beginning.

Succubus.

One of the most loyal underlings to the king among the demon races.

Also, the only apostle boss he had completely defeated in the game.

While other apostle bosses could hide their true essence within the chaos rifts, he could only manage to push them back.

Although Succubus clan could do it as well, in the final battle, Succubus apostle and her kin chose to have her true appearance at the final battle, to advance and retreat together with their Demon King, fight together against him.

Of course, in the end, the Demon King was killed, and the Succubus apostle followed in a lover's suicide.

Reji, because he was still in a daze from crossing over, hadn't paid much attention at first.

But now, upon a closer look...

The Succubus apostle before him had only a similar appearance and physique to the previous generation, but her actual appearance had indeed changed, much younger, clearly a new generation of Succubus apostle.

'Hmm'

For Reji, this was somewhat unwelcome news.

After crossing over, Reji wasn't just calmly thinking about his panel but was also observing and analyzing the situation through the exchanges between the apostles.

Firstly, it's unknown whether it was because the previous Demon King had been disastrously defeated by him, or because his human appearance really didn't meet their expectations for a Demon King.

'In any case, these apostles clearly didn't show me as much respect'

Reji remembered that in the game, the Demon King summoning ceremony was supposed to be conducted by the nine major apostles together.

But the first thing he saw was only four of them.

The remaining five apostles had arrived belatedly.

And only Eileen and Hektor tried to detain Lordan when Lordan was so provocative.

Wisdom Apostle Leo only retorted after being questioned, which shows that deep down, he wasn't that trusting of him either.

He had a single hardcore fanEileen the Succubus from the new generation, much weaker, for sure, compared to the apostles of the past. And he really couldn't rely solely on her to protect him, could he.

'This start'

'Really fits the "Very Easy" option in the survey.'

However

'Phew!'

Reji took a long breath inwardly.

He already had a way to break through.

It should be said that from the moment he saw his terrifying nine-digit sin value on the game panel, Reji felt much more at ease.

For him, who was on the side of human justice in the game, sin value was purely a negative attribute.

But here.

'On the side of the demon races, which are the villainous faction...'

Reji withdrew his gaze.

Although he had subdued Lordan, seeing the Wicked Demon's demeanor, he was still not giving up. He must truly show something to subdue him and the remaining apostles.

'Since that's the case'

'Then I would just show something'

"However."

Reji spoke again.

"Lordan, I acknowledge your suggestion just now. The demon race has endured in silence for too long, suffered for too long. Indeed, I should meet your expectations and show all of you and the million demon brethren below, hope."

"So, I am willing to engage in battle with the true strong ones among you."
