Chapter 915: This Demon King Makes a Grand Entrance!
Darkness wore a pure white wedding dress, her golden long hair swaying like tassels. Holding a fresh bouquet in her hands, her dignified and beautiful appearance drew endless praise from guests seeking to curry favor with the lord.
Though her face showed not a trace of smile, her expression cold as ice, no one paid it any mind.
Step by step, she walked forward until she stood before Alderp.
"Lalatina, you're finally mine!"
Ignoring her murderous expression that looked as if he'd killed her father, Alderp laughed excitedly.
He had been coveting Darkness for several years. As time passed, his obsession with her had grown deeper, becoming stronger with each passing day. Now, his wish was finally coming true!
"Eat shit, Alderp! A fool like you will never deserve me!"
Darkness's furious curse instantly silenced the entire church.
The guests exchanged glances before wisely lowering their heads, pretending not to witness the scene.
"Drop dead, you fat pig!"
Darkness threw away her bouquet and drew a dagger from within it.
Amidst someone's scream, Darkness raised the dagger and slashed at Alderp with deadly intent!
"You're insane!"
Alderp shrieked, instinctively stumbling backward and falling flat on his butt, causing Darkness's dagger to swing through empty air.
Darkness's face was full of regret—this was all because she had allocated all her skill points to defense in the past. Her attacks were pitifully weak; no matter how strong her physical abilities were, they meant nothing if she couldn't hit her opponent!
To think she'd lost this perfect opportunity to kill the fat pig because of such a thing!
"Don't you want your father to live?!"
Alderp scrambled backward in terror while shrilly threatening her.
"The Dustiness family has no cowards! I'll fulfill my filial duties to father properly in hell, so you fat pig should come along too!"
Darkness charged forward fearlessly, her eyes filled with determined killing intent.
That's right.
From the very beginning, she had decided to do this!
The Dustiness family, serving as the kingdom's hidden blade, had made countless enemies. Being born into this family meant everyone had to be prepared to die for the kingdom!
Though Darkness considered herself an unworthy member of the Dustiness family, she absolutely wasn't afraid of death!
She had long decided that on her wedding day, when Alderp's guard would be at its lowest, she would kill him on the spot!
Though she felt guilty toward her father, this was undoubtedly what her father would want to see!
After her father's death, she would commit suicide anyway. Any regrets about failing filial duties could be made up in hell!
"Max! Max, save me!"
Seeing Darkness charging at him with the knife, Alderp panicked, crawling wildly on the ground while shouting for help.
"My dear friend, are you encountering some difficulties?"
In the blink of an eye, a young man in a suit appeared without warning in the venue.
He bowed slightly to Alderp and asked him cheerfully, his tactless demeanor resembling a mischievous child.
"This... how is this possible?"
Darkness stared in astonishment at the handsome young man in the suit.
The dagger in her hand was effortlessly caught by him, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it an inch!
Her level had long been raised very high, and she exercised regularly, being particularly confident in her physical strength. So why couldn't she budge it at all?
"Max, I don't want to win her heart anymore. Brainwash her for me! Turn her into my slave. I must thoroughly trample her!"
Alda looked slightly relieved as he crawled up from the ground and glared fiercely at Darkness.
Darkness glared back just as fiercely.
Being talked about like that by this guy didn't excite her at all!
"What did he say?"
"Brainwash?"
Alda's words caused the guests below to break into discussion, each panicking and scrambling backward, looking fearfully at the well-dressed young man.
There was no such magic as brainwashing in this world!
Only demons from hell could do something like that!
Alda conspiring with demons to harm the kingdom's nobles was a crime punishable by death!
"Aqua, where are you going?"
"Kazuma, don't stop me! I'm running away! You should escape too! That's not an enemy we can handle!"
The fat pig of a lord remained calm and composed, completely disregarding everyone's opinions and ignoring the commotion below. With Max here, anything unfavorable to him would be erased!
"No problem, Alda. You're my best friend. I'll help fulfill all your wishes. But you know, I'm a demon - there's a price for commanding demons!"
"Idiot, I've already paid! Have you forgotten again?"
"Is that so? If you say so, then it must be true!"
Max suddenly understood and cheerfully turned his gaze toward Darkness.
Darkness immediately became alert, released the dagger and jumped backward.
"Darkness!"
"Dammit, get out of my way, all of you!"
Megumin, who wanted to help, was squeezed by the guests hiding behind her and couldn't advance at all, unable to contain her furious roar.
As the demon Max began to shimmer with dark light, everyone in the church felt their hearts leap into their throats.
Just then.
"BOOM!"
The church's dome suddenly shattered, glass and rubble crashing down.
"HAHAHAHA! The Demon King makes his glorious entrance!"
An unexpected figure descended from above, his wild laughter echoing throughout the hall.
The shiny full-body armor that looked incredibly expensive, combined with the black mask covering his face, gave off an intimidating aura that made him clearly recognizable as the Demon King himself at first glance!
"De-Demon King?!"
"Why would the Demon King appear here?"
"No, I remember there was some rumor before..."
Exclamations of surprise erupted uncontrollably.
"Why is it the Demon King who came? Where did that man go? Could it be that he's not even as good as the Demon King?"
Megumin glared discontentedly at the outrageously arrogant Demon King on stage.
"Megumin, you're an idiot."
Kazuma looked at her with a teasing smile, his face full of the superiority of being the only sober one among drunkards, which provoked an angry glare from Megumin.
"Fat pig, don't you know she's a woman I've slept with?The Demon King positioned himself subtly between Darkness and Max, speaking in an eerie tone.
Even through the mask, Arudap shuddered abruptly, as if stared down by the Grim Reaper himself. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with terror and panic.
Why had he attracted the Demon King?
How could he possibly have attracted the Demon King?
Hadn't the legends only said they spent one night together?
Why would this Demon King even show up just because a woman he'd slept with once was getting married?
"Arudap, he's dangerous."
Max stepped in front of Arudap, his usually innocent smiling face turning serious.
"I know! Block him for me, buy me time to escape!"
"No problem, but what's the price?"
