The entire demonic race on the continent of Lorin was weakening?

Luo Ning was surprised by the conclusion he came to.

The demons can truly be described as the most 'favoured' race when he started writing his book.

His novel depicts a story of leveling up. In order to show how difficult the protagonist's initial stage was, he aggravated the demons while constantly strengthening them.

As the massive number of demons invaded the human continent, the protagonist rose, leading his own team to defeat the demons one by one.

The biggest attraction for readers was to see the protagonist getting stronger step by step, defeating enemies stronger than himself. That's why Luo Ning crazily empowered the demons.

This world was born from his book, so the background of the story should be identical.

Therefore, these background stories should be the history of this world.

Imagine, a race which committed numerous atrocities and swept across the continent a thousand years ago.

What would they look like after they declined...?

Thinking about this, Luo Ning paused mid-step.

The demons would face... revenge from the entire race!!

"Hold on."

Before Luo Ning could stop, Lilulu first stood rooted to the ground.

Luo Ning didn't manage to stop on time and bumped into the back of Lilulu's head.

Lilulu's head was jolted, and she quickly held her head, giving Luo Ning a fierce glare.

Luo Ning spread out his hands, indicating unintention.

"I could... um, rub your horns?"

He glanced at the round devil horns on Lilulu's head and asked tentatively.

Lilulu quickly pressed her hands against her horns, in case Luo Ning took the initiative.

"I don't need a massage!" She frowned, sternly.

"There's movement ahead, stay here and don't move." Lilulu's other hand was pressed in front of Luo Ning.

She had to raise her hand quite high to reach Luo Ning's shoulder. Luo Ning looked down at her quietly.

Wait, doesn't this guy dislike physical contact, why is she taking the initiative now?

"Rustle, rustle..."

Soon, the sound of disturbance in the leaves interrupted Luo Ning's train of thought.

He directed his gaze over and saw a mass... no, lots of torchlight.

Through the gaps in the leaves, Luo Ning saw torches held high and a continuous line of footprints stepping into soft mud.

"...Are those magical beasts?" Luo Ning looked surprised.

Group-travelling magical beasts?

Knowing how to use torches for light, and their footsteps were surprisingly orderly?

A sense of foreboding flashed through Luo Ning's mind.

"They're humans."

"Human..." He stared wide-eyed.

The torchlight illuminated the faces of the people.

They were of different heights, some were fat, some were thin.

There were uncles with goatee, robust youngsters in short-sleeve hemp clothing, and several skinny teenagers in black cloaks, all of them had weapons.

The scimitars strapped on their backs, the staffs held tightly in their hands, and the terrifying heavy sword dragging on the ground as the imposing man in the lead walked.

This was Luo Ning's first time seeing humans on the Lorin continent. As kin, he felt somewhat familiar.

He wondered... if he could follow these people to the human continent?

If he could go to the human continent, Luo Ning would not be roughing it as he was now. At least, the living conditions there would be much better than in the desolate land of the demons.

"They're hunters. You should step back a bit."

"Hunters...?"

Lilulu stepped back half a step, and Luo Ning followed.

"A profession for adventurers; you may also call them 'merchants who hunt valuable creatures to sell'."At this moment, Lilulu's attention was all on the team slowly advancing ten meters ahead.

She casually explained to Luo Ning, then slightly bent her knees and leaned forward.

Luo Ning thought that her motion was to hide behind the bushes.

After all, in the present decline of the demon race, it would be better for Lilulu to turn a blind eye and let the team go.

The team seemed well-trained, with seven or eight people in total, and appeared quite strong. Since they dared to lurk in the Bamiris Forest, the territory of the Demon King, they certainly had something up their sleeves.

However, next moment, a scythe appeared in Lilulu's hand.

This scythe looked familiar to Luo Ning. It was The Laevatain.

The bat wings on her back gradually opened and were fully spread out in an instant.

Luo Ning didn't even have the time to prevent Lilulu from acting.

With a 'whoosh', a wind-cutting noise was heard as Lilulu's bat wings flapped vigorously, propelling her straight forward.

"Lilulu!!!"

Luo Ning admonished loudly.

"Lilulu?"

"Demon King?"

"The demon king is here?!!"

"No, no way! Didn't those guys say that the Demon King is not here anymore!!"

Upon Luo Ning's shout, the entire team was put on alert.

Lilulu's surprise attack was fruitless.

Originally, she wanted to swiftly eliminate the squad leader—the heavy swordsman with the most magic power. But he managed to detect her attack in an instant.

'Clang——'

The Laevatain clashed with the heavy, dark sword, and the dull sound of cold steel resonating echoed in the ears.

The bat wings behind Lilulu flapped continuously, keeping her at a higher position.

She then raised her arm in mid-air. Wielding The Laevatain, she left a shadowy trail as it hit the heavy sword yet again.

This time, the leading man was somewhat unable to withstand the assault.

Due to the force of the previous attack, his feet had sunk into the soft mud. This time, he wanted to jump back, but he nearly stumbled and fell because he couldn't extract his feet.

'Clang——!!!'

The trembling dark steel sword let out a mournful wail, the vibrational shock from the sword hilt resonated in his skull. The booming noise seemed to come from his crown.

"Pu-ah..."

A mouthful of blood spewed from the heavy swordsman's mouth.

The attack of The Laevatain, combining physical and magical power, brought corrosive dark magic that seeped into his organs.

He was practically dead.

"S-ranked adventurer..." Lilulu stood in mid-air, looking exactly like a demon at that moment.

With her glowing blood-red eyes and the bat wings behind her wildly shaking, she smiled with a string of blood beads hanging from her face. These were flicked from the blade of The Laevatain after she had cut off the swordsman's arm.

"All of you... Die!!!"

Indeed, the battle brought exhilarating pleasure to demons. Those blood blossoms erupting from human chests, even after countless views, were never tiring.

S-ranked adventurers were rare across the entire continent. For them to come to her, offering her the chance to kill more, was a fortunate thing for Lilulu.

The bat wings behind Lilulu flapped forcefully, her body shot upwards, cutting through crisscrossed tall trees to reach the sky.

Enormous magical power was gathering there.

The dark elements roaming the demon continent were visibly converging above the adventurers' heads at a rapid speed.
