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



Ragnar raised the corners of his eyes and scoffed. "What are you even saying? Are you fooling us with that bluff? Kailer, right? It seems like you don't even know how to talk properly."

Kailer stood dumbfounded after hearing that. After a while, he began to laugh out loud as if he had heard one of the best jokes of his life. Wiping the slight tear from the corner of his eyes, he said to Ragnar a bit apologetically. "I am sorry about that. I grew up in the jungles, so I do not know how to talk big like those privileged idiots."

"But…" Gradually, his laughter died down, and he spoke to them with a mocking tone. "If you don't believe the strength of the Demon Hunter, then you can give it a try."

Ragnar's face darkened as he spoke with a grave tone. "Belal, take these kids away. I want to see what this Demon Hunter is."

Belal didn't immediately obey his words. He stood beside him, urging the vital energy in his body.

Ragnar became confused seeing him act like this. "What are you doing? Take them away. Fiain will also help you along."

"Why would I leave?" Fiain spoke sternly, bringing out her sword.

Then Belal followed behind her. "Yes, we can't leave you alone."

Ragnar froze before he felt he was about to lose his mind. He always acts calmly and thinks on behalf of everyone, so it was rare for him to get angry. However, it wasn't surprising, as in his mind he felt they would hold him down. He just wants to buy them time to escape. When they have gone far enough, he will retreat. He didn't want them to face danger, as it would hurt his Lord. The man in front of him had a bad premonition, so he couldn't let any mistake happen.

But in his heart, he felt a rare sense of warmth that he wasn't able to properly describe. He put a smile on his face and looked at Kailer arrogantly.  "Do you guys think I will lose to this wild human? I am just concerned that you two will hold me back. So, leave the place and wait for me in the castle."

Fiain and Belal were surprised to hear Ragnar's words. They watched Ragnar walk forward with great fighting intent. Looking at each other, they decided to believe in Ragnar because whatever he did, he would do it with great confidence.

Ragnar stood ten meters away from Kailer, as he didn't feel others' presence behind him anymore. Secretly letting out a sigh of relief, he said in his mind. 'Finally they left.'

After all of this was done, at last, his gaze fell upon Kailer, who was staring at him amusingly. With a darkened face, Ragnar asked. "What is it?"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Interesting, quite interesting." Tilting his head, Kailer began to talk. "I have hunted down many demons, but it is very rare to see companionship. The only time I saw it was from a high-ranking bloodline duo. Hmm… So do all high ranking bloodline demons have the same raw emotions and feelings as humans?"

Gradually, a big smirk started to appear. "Let's try it out myself."

His words have just finished, and Rangar has arrived before him. With his eyes widened, Ragnar punched toward Kailer's face.

But, before the punch could get any closer, ice burst from Kailer, engulfing Rangar completely. 

However, that wasn't able to hold Rangar forever, as just a few seconds later, the ice cracked and Ragnar came out unscathed. Ragnar looked forward and saw Kailer had distanced himself while he was trapped in the ice.

For the first time since meeting Ragnar and his group, Kailer became a bit serious. 'This speed… despite being in the 9th Stage Fleshcrafting Realm, he can explode with such strength. It seems like I've finally stumbled into a genius.'

Just as Kailer was thinking of Ragnar, so too was Ragnar thinking of Kailer. 'Ice user, and from the looks of it, he doesn't seem like a close range fighter. Ice element… This is the first time I will be fighting someone who uses it. I hope I don't get caught up in any traps.'

Then the field descended into silence, both of them staring at each other. 

However, this silence didn't last long.

Bang

Ragnar just took a step when an ice wall suddenly appeared before him. Smashing through it, he dashed forward. Along the way, there were many ice walls, each gradually becoming thicker and stronger. 

Using this, Kailer continued to distance himself. Seeing this made Ragnar frown. 'This guy is testing my strength.'

How could Ragnar not know what is going on inside Kailer's mind. " [ Blurry Dash ] "lightsnovel

Then Ragnar's body slightly faded as he dashed forward in an eccentric way.  This made it harder for Kailer to guess where to put up the ice wall.

Pressing his palm in Ragnar's direction, he whispered. " [ Ice Spears ] "

Behind Kailer, dozens or so ice spears were conjured, which shot at Ragnar one by one. 

Ragnar calmly came to a decision, seeing all his path being obstructed by the ice spears.

" [ Shattering Fist ] " Ragnar's hands got enveloped in white vital energy, which had countless scattered stars shining in it.

Bang Bang Bang

With every punch, Ragnar destroyed two or three ice spears together. One had to know these were not made of normal ice. Strengthened by mana, these spears were treasures that even Physique Refinement Realm warriors might flock over.

Backing away, Kailer looked at Ragnar carefully. 'I do not know where did this guy come from, but if I connect everything I know right, then this is one of the men of this demon lord that the church is hunting. This guy already seems a bit troublesome, and there are more of his buddies. There is also this lord of theirs."

Kailer's face became grim. 'To top it off, there is this Masked Fools too. Did they make a mistake sending me or… these guys have grown beyond their expectations?'

If it was the first then someone might be plotting against him. But if it was later, then he knew he was in trouble. Only one rank-red demon hunter was not enough for this mission.

But it wasn't the time to think of this issue, as his hands were now occupied. Kailer stopped in his tracks and carefully waited for Ragnar while having the [ Ice Spears ] spell on. 

Ragnar became alert after seeing Kailer stop like this. He knew he was plotting something, but he still went forward.

As time passed, the distance between them gradually decreased.

Suddenly Kailer's shot opened as he raised the tip of his toe a little. However, he wasn't able to finish what he was about to do as Ragnar turned around and ran for the forest as fast as possible.

Kailer was left speechless as he watched Ragnar's figure gradually shrink. 'This guy… he took advantage of my curiosity and wasted time.'

Because Kailer wanted to test Ragnar fully, he didn't go all out from the beginning. If he did, he was sure he would have smashed Ragnar close to death. 

Still, Kailer didn't chase him, as he knew he didn't have enough strength to go against the entire force of this demon lord. Turning his head, he glanced at the city to see a few dots rushing at him. 'It took them so much time to arrive. As expected, no one here is capable of worthy of my attention.'

Kailer has seen a bigger world and knows many monsters, especially the ones in the Demon Hunter Association. Those guys would have already been shot the moment he and Ragnar fought.

After a while, five figures appeared before him. Four of them were Paladin Warriors sent by the church, while the remaining one was Haitam.

Just after arriving, one of them grimaced. "There is an aura of demons, and this one seems strong."

Then he looked at Kailer and said it with a neutral face. "Kailer, we told you to keep in touch with us. It looks like you found out their whereabouts and followed them. Without that, there is no way you could have a clash with them." 

The other three also stared at Kailer with an unfavorable impression. Demon Hunters were respected and feared by many, but for bigger forces, they were the most hated. The reason for their hatred is extremely simple, and it was their butting in on anything related to demons. This stopped those forces from plotting anything against demons. 

The reason for this was the current master of the Demon Hunter Association. He was very righteous at heart and hated demons to the bone. For the betterment of humanity, he wouldn't let demons come closer to humans. If it had been the past master, these forces would have been able to relax. The past master might be the same as the current one, but he could be swayed with benefits.

"Yea, yea… whatever. You guys would have slowed me down. On my own, I have gained many things that you will be now craving for." Kailer nonchalantly said, not taking their disdain for him to heart.

"Kailer! You were hired by the church. You should be helping us solve these demons as fast as possible, not going on your own." One of them burst out, as he wasn't able to contain himself anymore.
