The Legend of Sun Knight V8C1: “The Enemy of the Demon King—A Hero”

The Legend of Sun Knight Volume 8: Ending the Demon King, Part Two

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)


The First Chapter of the Final Battle: The Enemy of the Demon King—A Hero – translated by bunny_lover

How disappointing. How dare they call themselves heroes?

This was what I thought as I observed these people. These people turned into cowards when they caught sight of an undead army. When they realized that the undead army consisted of mostly low-leveled skeletons, they reverted back to their “heroic” selves, gleefully charging forward and slaughtering those skeletons. After vanquishing a few skeletons, their egos inflated so much it was as if they had already killed the demon king.

Whenever they discovered an abandoned house, they would rush into it to check if there were any valuable possessions left. Each one of them strived to be the first to go in, fearing they would miss out on grabbing valuable loot. If only they’re this motivated when they are fighting undead creatures!

Awaitsun and Illu are much better people than they are… No! Even Illu’s undead creature subordinates are ten times better than they are!

They even claimed to be an expeditionary force crusading against the demon king, and a few of them who liked to show off even called themselves “heroes.” I had thought that they were real heroes, so I had excitedly hurried over to check. Yet in the end, I saw this huge pile of trash!

Awaitsun and Illu are also more… Wait! I came here to see the faces of the heroes who planned to vanquish me, not to think of Awaitsun and Illu!

Hmm, nowadays even heroes aren’t heroic anymore!

I stretched out my hand and started to gather a large amount of dark element. Even though summoning an undead army to annihilate them would be more spectacular, it was a waste to use an undead army to eliminate these small fries. It would be like using the Divine Sun Sword to kill a chicken. Whatever, I should just get rid of them straight.

“Daring to disappoint me, you should all learn the outcome of doing so…” I said lazily.

A dark blade floated in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a black, waning moon. The only difference was that the moon would never fall, but this dark blade would imminently descend upon everyone present. However, as it was night, and the dark blade was even darker than the darkness of the night, one would have to look carefully before noticing it. That was why those people down there were completely oblivious to it.

If the Twelve Holy Knights were here, they would definitely have already detected such a strong saturation of dark element! It’s a pity you guys are not the Twelve Holy Knights. You aren’t even on par with a hero’s underlings. Every one of you, go to hell—

“Stop!”

I temporarily paused the flow of dark element above my hands. Someone still dares to stop me?

I did not need to turn around to “see” that person. Even though he had not yet drawn the sword by his waist, he had a good stance and emitted an aura of formidability. He seemed to be a tough opponent.

I narrowed my eyes slightly. Could this person be a real hero? It might be true. He had actually discovered that I was about to attack, so he should have some skills. Finally, I have encountered a person who is a proper hero!

Turning around, I quietly told him, “Come!”

The true hero seemed angry as he walked straight toward me. I was a bit curious about how he looked, so I deftly used “farsight.” This was the name that Scarlet had told me. In simple words, farsight was letting one separate one’s consciousness from one’s physical body. With this ability, I could escape from my physical limitations, including my loss of vision, and directly see my surroundings using psychic forces.

Scarlet had told me tons of theoretical knowledge, but I could not understand what the hell she was saying. As long as I could use it, there was no problem! In the end, Scarlet had even scorned my comprehension!

I had used wind element to throw the Eternal Tranquility to some unknown corner. Afterwards, only when I had some things to ask Scarlet did I order Awaitsun to retrieve the gem. Awaitsun even spent a whole week searching before he managed to locate it.

Still, not understanding the theory made a slight difference. Even though I now had the strong psychic ability that the demon king possessed, I still had to spend a long time practicing before I could use farsight masterfully. Nonetheless, it was much better than when I had been the Sun Knight. During that period, I could only see during the times when I was dreaming or in a few ultra-rare occasions. Even then, all the occasional things that I saw were stuff that I did not care about at all.

When the true hero was a short distance in front of me, I used farsight. The feeling was like before, when I had been in the dream, my entire person had left the bed and my own body. In an instant, I could fly to a place far away and see whatever I desired. Except that now, I was very much awake, and I was only ten centimeters apart from my body.

Then, in one glance, I saw that my opponent had golden-brown short hair, a pair of blue eyes, and sharp and distinct facial features—A f**king hottie! If I had known he was handsome, I wouldn’t have spared a glance!

“Tell me your name.” He was the first hero that I was going to kill. It was a memorable occasion, worthy of remembering his name.

However, he only gave me an odd glance, and then his attention was drawn elsewhere.

The crowd of fake heroes was currently carrying numerous pieces of furniture out from a big house. Without giving much thought to how they were going to carry such bulky objects while they moved around in the land of darkness, they were simply taking anything that could be taken.

“Stop this right now! What you are doing is committing theft!” The true hero completely ignored me and walked right past me, toward the crowd who was “moving house.”

When this guy shouted “Stop!” earlier, could it be that he wasn’t referring to me?

The true hero spoke to the fake heroes with a serious expression, “Please stop, you cannot take things as you please from the common folks.”

Those people probably were not truly accustomed to being thieves. After being accused of theft, their faces instantly turned red. As for the few people who were their leaders, their embarrassment turned to rage. They threw down the furniture that they had been carrying, and cursed, “The residents have all fled! They have no use for these things. If we don’t move them away, are we just going to let the undead creatures benefit?”

Undead creatures have absolutely no interest in furniture. Even if these pieces of furniture stay here for another hundred years, they would only rot. They would never be carried away by undead creatures.

Evidently, the true hero understood this point. He shook his head and explained, “Undead creatures won’t be interested in these things. After the demon king has been vanquished, common folks can return to their homes and start their lives anew. Therefore, don’t touch their belongings.”

Vanquish the demon king… hmph! Royalty in every kingdom would be the first to stop you. That is, unless you have a way to completely exhaust the dark element.

“You think the demon king is such an easy target? He has unparalleled power, and also has obedient servants and an impregnable castle. In the past, the fastest record of vanquishing the demon king was twelve years!”

The fake heroes retorted. From the way they spoke, it was ambiguous which side they were on. A clueless bystander could potentially confuse them for the demon king’s subordinates!

“Even if it takes twelve years, common folks would eventually return to their homes. We can’t let them discover that their homes have completely changed!” The true hero persisted.

Upon hearing this, the fake heroes fell silent. They looked as if they might change their minds. However, from my point of view, it was probably because those pieces of furniture were too difficult to carry. Moreover, it was also hard to say whether that furniture was truly worth anything. If it were a small pouch of gems, I do not believe that they could be persuaded otherwise!

If they returned the furniture just like this, this scenario would be too boring! The situation called for a tiny bit of intervention on my part.

“Why bother to speak these useless words?” I took a step forward and put my hand on the true hero’s shoulder, saying, “These people just need to be taught a lesson.”

The true hero was stunned. He turned his head and looked at “me.” To be precise, it was at my body. I had yet to dispel farsight. That was also why I was able to see every bit of his confused expression. This was much clearer than using my sensing ability.

The group of false heroes was much quicker to react. After they heard my words, they instantly exploded with rage. They even unsheathed their weapons, looking as if they wanted to murder me.

When he saw this, the true hero’s expression changed. Before he even had the chance to shout “wait,” I already released lightning bolts in all directions. However, the power of this web of lightning was not potent. The most it could do was slightly paralyze its targets.

To kill my opponents straight away was very easy, but it was also extremely boring. That was not my intention.

As expected, they gave a few cries of pain but were unharmed. Although they were only fake heroes, they were still people who dared to run around in a land of darkness. It was not possible that they were truly incapable of displaying a bit of strength. At the very least, they definitely had no problems with swinging various weapons to hack someone.

I dispelled farsight and calmly watched the crowd of people dashing toward me. It was a lot more exciting this way. Otherwise, using farsight to stand at the side made me feel like I was watching a stage play.

Hmm, the person at the forefront of the group moves pretty fast! He chose a light, single-handed sword as his weapon, as expected of a speed type fighter. The edge of the blade slashed down above my head instantly, and then with a “clang,” it was blocked by another weapon.

As I thought, the true hero was the real deal. He could not watch someone get chopped into mincemeat in front of him, so he drew his sword to help me block the attack.

“Please calm down! Stop this!” He shouted and blocked advance after advance. However, it was utterly useless. The attack consisted of five people and six weapons, since one of them wielded dual blades, but he blocked them all. As I thought, he could fight pretty well.

While he was busy blocking all the attacks, he was still able to find a moment to turn his head and tell me, “Quick, run away!”

After I spent the effort to make them mad enough to fight, of course I would not turn and leave. “Let me help you.”

“Help me?” He was confused for a second.

I released another web of lightning. This time, the area of effect was increased. Even the people who weren’t initially involved in the fight were shocked by the lightning at the same time. The intensity of the spell was also increased, but it was still far from being fatal. The most it could do was give them some small injuries –– exactly the type of injuries that could irritate people.

The number of attackers increased from five to fifteen in a single moment. Even the true hero could not stop so many fighters. He grabbed my arm and dragged me along as he turned around to run away. Because I didn’t expect this turn of events, I stumbled a couple of steps, almost falling down. In the end, he simply carried me with both of his arms and started to run with all his might.

I thought he would choose to fight until the bitter end. I didn’t think he would turn and run away… Heh, you really are an interesting fellow!

“There is an archer among them,” I calmly warned him.

“What?” The true hero sounded surprised, “Wait, you are a mage, right?”

Asking me whether I am a mage at this point in time? I furrowed my brows. Although I was a bit reluctant to admit it, I still nodded my head for the fun that was to come.

“Why do you wear a mask?” The true hero lowered his head and looked at me suspiciously. “You’ve even covered your eyes with your mask. Can you really see?”

Is right now a good time to worry about a mask?

“Jump to your left,” I instructed.

The true hero promptly jumped to his left. Fortunately, he was very obedient; an arrow flew straight through the spot where he had been a second ago.

“Wow!” The true hero was astonished and said, “Looks like you can indeed see.”

Of course I can’t see. But with my sensing ability and farsight, I am able to see better than anyone. However, I have to wear a mask because right now almost everyone knows that the demon king has a pair of completely-black eyes.

I touched my face and ran my fingers along the edge of my mask, my fingertips cold. This mask was actually quite comfortable. If I didn’t touch it with my fingers, I felt as if the mask didn’t exist. Even if I touched it, I could only detect a thin film, even though this mask was clearly made of metal. It was amazing workmanship to be able to hammer the metal into such a thin layer. The price was probably also quite amazing.

For the purpose of fulfilling the demon king’s demands, the Cathedral of the Shadow God really spent a lot of resources.

“Why do you wear a mask?”

Curiosity can kill a cat! I shouted angrily, “A fire! Is right now really a good time to inquire about my mask?”

The true hero smiled. “Right. Now is a good time to counter-attack.”

“Counter-attack?” I questioned with a bemused tone, “Can you win against so many people?”

“If it is an all-or-nothing struggle, it is hard to say.” The true hero replied honestly, “And, if it is only a scuffle, I probably can’t win.”

“Then why do you want to counter-attack—”

“Taylen, why are you embracing that girl!” I was interrupted by a girl’s high-pitched shriek.

“Girl?” The true hero was stunned for a second. He really did get stunned easily. He probably was the type of person whose reaction time was very slow. Nevertheless, his reaction time during combat was pretty quick. He was quite similar to Roland in this aspect; he was quite slow-witted in everything aside from combat.

“Jump to the left,” I instructed lazily.

The true hero — I think he should be called Taylen — obediently jumped to the left as I instructed, evading yet another arrow.

His teammates were few in number, only two to be exact. One of them was a cleric, the girl who had just shouted at us in a high-pitched voice. The other one seemed to be an archer, but he was also equipped with two daggers at his waist, so he was probably also adept in the art of blades.

Generally, people who can wield weapons in both hands are competent. If one rashly decides to use two weapons without having undergone any prior training, one has a higher chance of cutting off one’s own hand than injuring the opponents. This was what Lesus had told me before.

Taylen put me down and immediately drew his weapon as he turned around to block several attacks from the people chasing us. If he was slower by one second, an axe would have beheaded him.

“Eh?” The cleric stared at me. She completely ignored her two comrades who were already loudly fighting with the enemy, and scrutinized me for several seconds. After which, she released a breath of air, and murmured, “Oh, you are a man!”

Do you need to spend fifteen seconds to distinguish my gender?!

The current me was not a white-haired, slim cleric. Not only did I have black hair, after eating and sleeping well, my weight was also definitely within the normal range for a guy. I was also wearing male clothing. Although I was pretending to be a mage, I had left the castle with the sole intention of secretly observing the situation, and so had not changed my clothes.

“Which part of me looks like a woman?” I questioned coldly. If she did not reply with a satisfactory answer, I would not mind ending this game right here. Even though it was a bit unfortunate, nowadays there were many teams crusading against the demon king; I could still find other heroes for my amusement after exterminating this team.

With the constant sounds of weapons clashing together in the background, and the low growls from her teammates in battle, the cleric replied with a relaxed air as if we were chatting at home. “There are a lot of characteristics! For example, your hair is black and silky, your skin is as white as milk, and your legs are very long. Even your body proportion is great!”

I was silent for a moment. These seem to be words of praise?

“But why are you wearing a mask?” The cleric tilted her head, “If you don’t wear a mask, I would immediately have identified you as a guy!”

“A fire,” I answered simply. Normally, if I said this, everyone would understand and no further questions would follow.

”A fire? What does that have to do with the mask on your face?” Obviously, there was something wrong with this girl’s comprehension.

How can there be such a stupid woman in this world! I explained in an annoyed tone, “The fire burned my face!”

“Oh… What?” The cleric exclaimed, “Did it disfigure you? How unfortunate, I feel like you would have been quite handsome!”

Well said!

She held both hands out to the sides. “But it’s all hopeless now that you’ve been disfigured.”

“…” I bellowed angrily, “A man’s value is not in his face!”

The cleric nodded as she said, “You’re not wrong! But the face is the most important component! If you’re disfigured, no matter how good the other parts are, they can’t make up for it. Moreover, your body only has a good proportion, but it doesn’t seem like you have many muscles. You also don’t look very strong. A man without a good face nor power has no value! In comparison, Taylen is handsome as well as strong. He is the best!”

This… Stinking… Woman…!

“I have power!” I roared madly. “Men without muscles can also have power!”

However, her expression was one of complete disbelief. I was so livid that I raised my hand, thinking of releasing a bolt of lightning for her to see. On second thought, she was just a woman, so I stopped my spell right before its release.

Pah!

“High five!” The cleric shouted in an energetic voice. After jumping up to smack the hand I had raised, she asked confusedly, “Why are we exchanging high fives?”

“…” Who said I wanted to high five you? I wanted to strike you!

Whatever! With this kind of stupid woman around, even the “hero,” Taylen was probably not worth putting my hopes on. That said, their strength was not bad. With just one warrior and one archer, they were able to fight more than twenty enemies, and yet not be at a disadvantage. Given time, they might even triumph. Not bad!

But whatever potential they have is wasted by their stupid teammate! I turned around and prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?” The cleric shouted behind me.

Not your f**king problem. I slowed down my steps, as I detected a bandit stealthily creeping towards the cleric. It seemed like he wanted to take her hostage in order to threaten her teammates. Even with the advantage in numbers, they still had to resort to this kind of tactic. This was rather pathetic.

This might turn into a good show. It would not be too late to leave after this show was over. I relaxed and prepared to watch the excitement. The cleric was watching me with a confused expression. At that moment, the bandit dashed forward and locked the cleric’s arms behind her back. She cried out in pain.

If his teammate is captured, how will the hero respond? Throw down his sword to surrender or disregard his comrade’s life?

The bandit’s dagger pressed against the cleric’s neck. He shouted, “Taylen, Michel, stop what you are doing!”

The two fighters turned their heads simultaneously, shouting in surprise, “Charlotte!”

I blanked out, and then I moved without thinking. In the blink of an eye, I instantly teleported to her side and used a dark blade to send the bandit flying.

The cleric gasped and looked at me with a surprised expression. She exclaimed, “Oh I see, you are a mage. No wonder you said a man can be strong without muscles.”

“You are called Charlotte?” I opened my mouth to ask, suddenly realizing that my voice had turned hoarse.

She was nothing like Charlotte. Even when I used farsight to examine her, I could not find a single similarity. She only has the same name, but…

“Yeah!” Charlotte pouted and said, “Why did you save me?”

“Saving you… is not good?” I was astonished.

“Aw, it’s not that it is not good…” Charlotte continued pouting as she grumbled, “But Charlotte wants Taylen to do it!”

… I was wrong. Not only did they have the same name, they even had the same baffling quirks! Could it be that all women named Charlotte had this kind of behavior?

“Charlotte, are you okay?”

Taylen and that archer… I think he’s called Michel? The two of them ran over in a rush. Both of them had a worried look on their faces.

“No pro—” Charlotte stopped abruptly as she was about to finish the sentence. Then, she spoke in a distressed tone, “Taylen, Charlotte’s arm is really sore. Even my neck is aching!”

Your acting is way too fake!

Bored with her affectionate act, I redirected my attention toward the battlefield where the huge fight had just taken place. Since Taylen and Michel could disengage from battle, that should mean the fight was over right? But from what I saw previously, there should have been more of a fight.

In fact, only around half of the people could not get back up anymore. But the remaining half did not seem interested in continuing. Well, after so many people ganged up on two and yet still lost the fight, it was normal that no one would want to continue fighting and taste the humiliation.

“Thank you very much for saving Charlotte.”

My attention was still directed toward the battlefield. Using farsight, I could gather many interesting expressions of anger and frustration from the loser group. At the same time, I also observed Taylen’s expression of anticipation. However, the target of his anticipation was not Charlotte, but me. To receive a look of anticipation from a man… so disgusting!

“We are currently lacking a mage. I wonder, are you in a team? If you don’t have a team already, would you care to join ours? We don’t have many members, only three. Including you, we would still only have four people, so you can earn a big share. Furthermore…”

Unexpectedly, Taylen was pretty talkative. So-called heroes should keep their cool. Silence is golden, after all! Speaking so much utterly ruined his image as a hero!

Beside us, Michel rolled his eyes, which seemed to say, “Not this again.”

I thought about it for a second. Even though I couldn’t point out the exact reason, I really did want to find a hero to amuse myself. Up until now, Taylen was the guy who fit the image of a hero the most. That, and I really did not want to continue laboring through his long-winded speech.

“Sure, I’ll join.”

“…”

Taylen immediately closed his mouth. Even Michel and Charlotte stared at me with their eyes opened wide. I was confused for a moment. What did I say wrong? Didn’t they want me to join? What is up with their reactions?

“If you don’t want me to, then forget it.” I spoke coldly and turned to leave.

“Yes! Of course we want you to!” Taylen grabbed me to stop me. He nervously asked Michel, “Right?”

“Of course, but aren’t you going to ask for more information?” Michel asked bewilderedly. “For example, our abilities, past missions, how we divide the rewards and such. You are going to join without asking anything?”

Indeed, this was a bit impulsive. There was just one thing I had to clarify at least.

“How are we going to divide the spoils?”

“The most important thing is the spoils huh…” Michel murmured beneath his breath. It was very soft, but I still heard it. He asked carefully, “What level of mage are you?”

“Master level,” I already had Awaitsun carefully prepare everything for my disguise. Naturally, that included an official certificate for a mage.

I took out the certificate and handed it over to Michel. He looked at it very carefully, scanning through it three times in total. Then, he sighed, “You are really a master mage. It is very rare to see one. Usually, only big adventurer teams can afford to hire one. So, I think you should tell us your expectations.”

Very rare? Then would fifty percent be too much?

Michel fidgeted, as if he felt things were not quite right, and quickly added, “Anything over thirty percent is not acceptable!”

Unable to accept, I said, “Thirty-five percent!”

“Deal!” He agreed at once.

Did I just lose out on a deal?

Maybe because he saw my expression, Michel quickly added, “Master mages never go back on their words. Right?” He directed his last word toward Taylen and Charlotte. The two of them immediately nodded their heads enthusiastically.

Seeing Michel’s nervous expression, I suddenly felt a bit suspicious. Just before, he was clearly bored with Taylen’s attempt to talk me into their party, yet why is he now even more eager than Taylen… Wait, did he put on an act just for me to see?

“Hahahaha—”

I couldn’t help but laugh. The puzzled looks on their faces only added to my merriment. A verbose hero, an archer with great acting skills, and a stupid girl. This team is really interesting!

“You guys are so interesting!”

“Interesting?” Charlotte pointed at her nose, not knowing what was going on. “Which part of us is interesting? Aren’t you the interesting one? You are wearing a strange mask. You didn’t even ask a single question before joining the team. You really are a bizarre master mage!”

Of course you guys are the interesting ones. Compared to Awaitsun and those dark knights, you guys are way more interesting.

    YES!!!!! NEW CHAPTER!!!!! OH MY GOD OF LIGHT,I AM CRAWLING BACK FROM THE DEATH RIGHT NOW!

  2. Karen

    LOL. I’m glad Sun isn’t evil! He seems to be more of the “I’m so powerful I need something interesting to entertain me” kind of evil. Haven’t said this in a while. :) Thanks for all your hard work PR! And happy late Thanksgiving!

    • Sakurachi

      @Karen
      Of course! When one has too much power, things get a bit boring. I’ve had this happen a lot, so I understand. If there is nothing interesting, then one tends to try and make something become interesting…. and sometimes that can become a little messy. :)

    • Reika

      @Karen
      This is nice, I like it a lot. To think that Grisia will be going adventuring while pretending to be a master mage but secretly commanding the dark armies. Great beginning for this volume, looks like it’s gonna be funny again. I was worried it would be all drama.

    • mr.tanen

      @Karen
      ikr!
      reminds me of a manga i read a few years ago (iirc it was called superior) where the demon king (it was a queen actually) was so bored out of her mind that decided to join the hero party instead to crusade against herself XD

  3. Jasae Bushae

    Oh wow, this is shaping up to be a really fun volume. I was expecting something far darker given the epilogue.

  4. MPToki

    Thank you PR =D
    Wow, such an interesting chapter!
    I wonder what would happen if the team finds out about his real identity. ..

  5. Adrimiz7

    Grasia sure has been a part of many adventuring teams during his years. Can’t say he’s been to faithful to his original group either.

  6. d1r31

    Thank you for the translation. It seems like the DemonKing is a bit more foul-mouthed, as compared to the flowery speech Grisia usually spewed forth as SunKnight. I sympathize w/ his need for entertainment.

  7. Song

    What an interesting twist of events. Thank you PR.

    No wonder the name of the fourth chapter is called “The Game of the Demon King—Role Play.”

  8. Panda

    Uwaaaa for some reason I feel like crying. Sun never had to actively seek entertainment and “friends” before. Yet now that he’s left all his good buddies behind, he has to go out and look for new ones. It has this kind of despondent and lonely feeling to it T-T

  9. Jan

    Soooo interesting>u<~
    I feels kind of similar to the time Sun lost his memories but better and more exciting! I love to see what would happen when that find out he's the demon king. It more exciting than when he was the Sun Knight.
    But I feel soooo sad and happy at the same time when I read a new chapter:'( we're getting nearer and nearer to the enddd…Thnx PR for the update ~

  10. reishiki

    KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG you guys update so fast!!!! thank you thank you thank you!!! I am forever loyal to this team. *w* Great work you guys are the best!!! I’m so glad for Yu Wo!! She makes the best novels ever!!! xD

    • mneilg

      @Midori
      you can say he hardly changed at all. Greedy and money-minded, Check. a veritable vocabulary of *ehem* colorful words, Check. Lazy, Check. Upholder of justice (admit it, he still is), Check. The only thing that changed is his hair color and that he no longer holds back his magic.

  11. Little Writer

    > Become all-powerful Demon King
    > Uses infinite resources provided by the ultra-powerful Cathedral of Darkness
    > Can summon vast amounts of Dark element at any time
    > Goes to screw around with the adventurers trying to kill him
    because why the f not
    I really, really adore that his personality hasn’t become evil. Rather, his already lousy personality has surfaced, and he can just let it all out without consequence. Our Sun Knight really was born to become the Demon King…
    Thanks as always for the chapter, PR!

  12. Nocta

    Ah great! Grisia is still Grisia after all! But for him who wanted nothing else but to live an ermitt life in the Temple, he gets in a lot of adventuring travels.

  13. dollyfishe

    At first i kinda at a missed of what the f**king meant for. Only realize after a few times it showed up, as i remember that is the fave word grisia like to say. Its a clever thing to do, i must admit. Since my mind keep on thinking of it as a fatking :D
    Thank you for always cleverly translated the novels so that we didnt missed the fun :D

  14. mneilg

    Grisia, you’re supposed to be the demon king, the strongest and possibly the wealthiest person in the continent, and yet you are haggling with a common adventure team over the division of spoils! =_=lll

  15. Ingro

    I have to wonder what spoils he thinks he is getting from himself that he is so disappointed about.

    Thanks for the chapter.

  16. Amiric

    I agree with Grisia, they are interesting indeed. Come to think of it, is this the first time he lose out in a deal?

  17. Maddy

    Kinda reminds me of a manga called Superior. The demon lord joins the hero, but falls in love…

  18. Nimue

    Thanks for the chapter!!!
    Wow, I certainly didn’t expect that. Grisia might end up being the only Demon King who won’t kill anyone – just because that would be too boring :p
    Now, will he or will he not abduct Charlotte in the end? And is she really similar to “that” Charlotte? I wonder…

  19. someone

    You know, my mental image of the Demon King is more like someone who lazily lounges in a giant castle, surrounded by lavish riches, carrying out almost everything through his subordinates/undead army. Like the “Big Boss” type–one who wields great power without needing to lift a finger. But Sun, going out and toying with the “heroes”… Playing around with his magic and mysterious mask… He really doesn’t comply with his image, whatever that image may be, huh… :P

  20. asdf

    Actually, in contrast to what other commenters are saying about Sun still being “same as ever”, I seem to be noticing a slight change in his mannerisms. He’s more… sinister. Like black smoke, if that makes sense. Sly, impatient, lazily toying with people… He’s still himself, but I feel like his sadistic meter just went up a few notches. Maybe this is what Roland meant by the effects of becoming the Demon King??? Or am I just overthinking things??

  21. MiR

    @Amiric
    Yup and not only that, he actually agreed to join them so quickly because Taylen was being so “long-winded”; He lost to his own favorite tactic!

  22. Nagito

    I’m wondering about how Michel can see Grisia’s expression when he’s wearing a mask( sorry about my grammar. English isn’t my native language )

    orz Grisia… You’re now the most powerful person in the world… And you’re choosing to join an adventurer team?! *flips a table in rage*
    You have every opportunity to go and kidnap Ecilan, eat desserts until you nearly burst, leer at women with your new sight, drink in a tavern until you nearly burst again, work it all off by having arguing contests with Scarlet, poke Stephen until he tries to bite off your finger, rage at Awaitsun’s over-the-top handsomeness, kidnap his Majesty so he can take a break from that paperwork, talk off Storm’s ear until he faints from exhaustion, see just how far you can push Stone’s stubbornness, experiment to see how your new hair affects voodoo dolls, levitate the Pope upside down so he can’t hide his cute face behind a veil anymore, become the ultimate god of the world by proving you can find Cloud, apologize to Metal for calling him sick in the head, kidnap Elijah once you realize he’s panicking over his king disappearing, ask Roland how to make damn-impressive six-part wings, coincidentally ask Roland how to get a damn-impressive six pack, disregard all advice and continue glutting yourself on Ice’s sweets, find your teacher an elven archer to join their team, scare some demon wolves so badly they freeze themselves to death, extort money from various kingdoms, raise an army of undead rabbits, try to fix Moon’s neck, make a couple of snowmen, trade some exotic yeast with wine merchants, and if you’re bored, you know, there’s always sucking a couple of lands of darkness dry.

      this comment, literally blew my mind. If this happened, I would die from happiness!

      This is it. I was already laughing my head off just by reading your comments, what more if Grisia really did do these!

      Lol, yeah Grisia is still too much of a prissy old virgin to even have a harem of beauties??? Dang, sucks to be him! But, on the other hand, the Grisia we know is always like a mother hen (the Sun Knight) looking over his little chicks (the Twelve Holy Knights) thus it makes sense that even as the demon king he is still looking for people to look after/annoy. He really can’t be happy without a team around him. After all, a cleric/mage needs his meat shields.

    When Grisia said he’s enough food and sleep, first image that came to my mind is…G-Grisia with a fat body XD

    Grisia the demon king is still haggling over money? It must be a habit at this point.

    call me once there are some nice judge/sun scenes .

    anyways, thanks for translating the chapter so fast

    the demon king joining a demon-slaying hero party because he was bored is a rather unconventional turn of events to say the least… Feels like Sun got worse at dealing with others after turning into a demon lord though, seems like he would’ve been able to turn those 3 into his errand-running lackeys while fleecing them for all they’re worth normally but now he’s the one who got ripped off.

    a new set of characters introduced in the last volume? I wonder where the author is going with this?
    But whatever else may happen, it looks like LoSK has finally regained the charm, which it had during the third and fourth volumes, at least for me. :D

    Dammit, and just when I thought that we’d finally gotten rid of that annoying Charlotte, here comes another one! Grrr…

    Maybe because he saw my expression, Michel quickly added,

    Wait, how can they see Grisia’s expression when he has a mask on? Stupid Grisisa how can you forget.

    Demon King Grisia is a tsundere it’s so cute I love him.
