The Demon King-slaying party came face-to-face with the Demon King.

Only, the legendary Prideful Demon King was nothing like they’d imagined.

A boy who was 160 centimeters tall, with silver hair and red eyes, and so handsome it was practically cheating—was he really the Demon King?

If they told anyone about this, they’d surely be laughed at. “You’re so desperate for a man that you’re fantasizing about the Demon King? Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.”

“Damn it! Once this great king gets his strength back, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead, you fat woman!”

Luxiu was bound in vines and couldn’t move at all. His whole body was limp, but he still had plenty of bite in his words.

“Heh heh heh. I’m so scared. I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Luna didn’t take the Demon King’s verbal threats seriously in the slightest. She even reached out and pinched his fair, delicate cheek.

Mm, it feels amazing!

“A mixed-blood Demon King? For real? Is it that easy to become a Demon King these days?”

Sarah watched the elf big sister bully the little boy and, unable to hide her envy, sidled over with a look of doubt.

“A lowly demi-human like you has no place speaking here.”

Luxiu glared at Luna, then stole a glance at Sarah when he got the chance. The moment he opened his little mouth, the insults came pouring out.

“Oh? You’re a half-succubus, half-human. What gives you the right to look down on demi-humans? If we’re talking about being lowly, you’re the most pathetic one here.”

Sarah wasn’t some pushover. She fired back with a sharp tongue right then and there.

“What should we do? Are we really going to kill him?”

Liliya couldn’t bring herself to do it. She looked at the silent Xiya and asked softly.

“Kill him.”

Xiya was brief and decisive, her eyes full of resolve.

“Quit dragging your feet and get on with it! Even without my powers, this great king is immortal. Just wait until the Red Moon passes—you’ll regret it. I’ll make you all regret ever being born!”

Luxiu wasn’t afraid at all. If anything, he taunted them even more recklessly.

“Little Xiya, this insolent brat is right. The Red Moon makes it easy for us to defeat him, but killing him for good is impossible.”

Luna, who knew a thing or two, confirmed that the Demon King wasn’t lying.

“Only now are you scared? Run! Hide! Cry! This great king will hunt every last one of you down and torture you slowly. Wah—”

Luxiu just couldn’t keep his mouth shut, so the elf big sister promptly had vines cover it.

“Sometimes, killing the Demon King would be letting him off too easy. Especially when he’s such a mouthy, arrogant little brat.”

As Luxiu glared at her like he wanted to kill her, Luna fearlessly ruffled the silver hair on his head.

“The Demon King’s Crown is the source of his power. It’s the Red Moon, so his Crown is more vulnerable than ever. In other words, if we smash it, he’ll be stuck as a weak little brat forever. That’ll hurt even more than killing him.”

Her emerald eyes glimmered. The words that spilled from her sexy red lips made the fearless Luxiu go pale.

“That’s a great idea! Once the Demon King loses all his power, we can take him back as a trophy. I’m sure lots of people would love to see what the legendary Demon King looks like. We could hold an exhibition. As for the tickets, we could set the price at…”

Following Luna’s train of thought, the money-loving Sarah started calculating how to squeeze every last bit of value out of the Demon King.

“If we take away the Demon King’s power to do evil, maybe he’ll turn over a new leaf.”

Liliya agreed with Luna, too.

“Fine.”

After learning about a way to make the Demon King’s life worse than death, Xiya nodded in agreement.

“In your dreams! How could a mere human destroy my Crown? There’s no need to be afraid. I’m the Demon King!”

Luxiu was sweating buckets as he tried to reassure himself.

“Little Xiya, I’ll leave destroying his Crown to you. Use your eyes to find its weakness, then shatter it in one blow.”

With everyone on board, Luna immediately began assigning roles.

“You’ll be an ordinary half-blood from now on, little brat. I can’t wait to see it.”

She brought her red lips close to Luxiu’s ear. Her words sent a chill through the Demon King.

“Mmmph, mmmph…”

Luxiu had plenty to say, but he couldn’t get a word out.

The plan to shatter the Demon King’s Crown began.

There was no doubt that Xiya would be the main force.

In the Kingdom of Kaida, she was known as the Sword Hero.

Besides her peerless talent with the sword, Xiya also had a special ability.

It was a blessing from the Goddess called the Eye of Weaknesses.

As the name suggests, Xiya’s eyes could find the weakness in anything. Attacks against those weak points would be far more effective!

At that very moment, Xiya fixed her gaze on the Crown atop Luxiu’s head and activated her ability.

“Mmmph…”

Luxiu felt a chill in his heart, as if a little lamb had caught the gaze of a big bad wolf.

He hadn’t felt this unpleasant sensation in a long time.

“Move aside. Get back.”

Xiya readied herself and didn’t forget to warn her companions.

“Go get ’em, Sister Xiya!”

“She’s as strong as a monster. She’ll be fine.”

Liliya and Sarah retreated ten meters.

“Careful, Little Xiya. Don’t scratch that pretty little face of his. What a shame that’d be.”

Luna took a small step back, then folded her arms across her chest, making her already ample bust look even more impressive.

“Mm.”

Luxiu’s hands and feet were bound by vines, leaving him nothing more than a sitting target.

“Clang…”

Xiya swung a plain, unadorned sword strike and hit the weakness she’d spotted with perfect precision.

“Crack, crack…”

The silver Crown let out a mournful sound. As Luxiu stared in disbelief, it shattered into countless fragments that shot in every direction.

In an instant, the Demon King lost the source of his power. From then on, he was reduced to an ordinary person with an immortal body.

“Heh. Little Xiya, you did great! Let’s see how cocky this brat is now.”

Luna smiled in satisfaction and released the vines restraining Luxiu.

“My Crown? It was so big…”

As soon as he could move again, the Demon King reached up to touch the top of his head.

But there was nothing there, just like the power that had vanished from within him.

“How does it feel, little brat? That power you were so proud of is gone.”

Luna mischievously patted Luxiu’s handsome face, savoring his unfairly adorable expression.

“You fat woman! And you, swordswoman! I’ll never forgive you! I’ll kill you!”

Luxiu was so furious he went red from head to toe, all the blood rushing to his face.

“You got what you deserved.”

Xiya watched the Demon King rage helplessly with cold eyes, feeling a faint sense of satisfaction.

The Demon King before her was the one who had killed her own older sister.

The more the Demon King suffered, the better she felt.

“That’s it? I didn’t do much to fight the Demon King, but as we agreed beforehand, I still get a share of the treasures in the Demon King’s Castle.”

Sarah hurried over, full of excitement, with Liliya right behind her.

And so, the scene that followed was this: the poor Demon King was surrounded by four women, looking as if he were about to get bullied.
