7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling Chapter 17.2 - Return of The Demon Prince

17.2 Return of The Demon Prince

Seriously, you even took out your enchanted weapon!

And then, without a shred of hesitation, Platy unleashed a rciless stab toward Ante.

Forbid Spear Strike

But, the attack stopped as soon as Ante activated her hexing. The tip of the spear cast dangerous light and yet, it stayed still without moving an inch right in front of Ante.

Powerful waves of magical power released from Plenty's horn, releasing her from Ante's hex but

Forbid Resistance

Ante activated another one of her hexs, and as if to prove that fact, it easily pulverized the shell that was covering Platy.

Platy was left standing up, unable to move from her stabbing form.

Ante on the other hand was sitting cozily on the sofa, she didn't even lift her finger to face Platy.

Do you understand now?

Ante asked so with a haughty look on her face.

Platy sent a glare toward Ante and tried to invoke her magical power again.

Wham! and thus, along with the sound that was akin to snapped leather, she managed to forcefully cancel Ante's hex.

Hou.

Seeing that, Ante sent a sidelong, yet profound glance at as she muttered Well, sothing like this.

Just now, Ante chanted Forbid instead of Taboo to.

As if she told "This is how you should use my power to mimic a high-ranking devil".

Okay, it's my loss.

Platy declared so quietly while restoring her enchanted spear.

You're strong.

And accepted Ante's strength as she sat back in her chair.

Naturally.

Ante nodded with a composed look on her face.

It's good to have reliable foundation and strength.

Platy said so with a smile on her face, an extrely wicked one at that.

Your son will beco a splendid demon king.

Platy ended up caught off guard by an unexpected remark that ca out of nowhere from Ante.

Ante then stood from the sofa and stretched her body.

Yup, the material world is stiff after all. I'll take a break for a while.

And just when I thought about what she was going to do. Ante suddenly embraced and went into my body.

Platy was looking at the situation as if she just saw an extrely unexpected situation.

The thing is she chose my body as the resting place for her to decrease the consumption of her power.

Offering part of your body to house the devil or carrying part of the devil with you isn't a rare thing but, this is the first ti I see soone offering their entire body to house the devil

So a devil housed in a demon race body wasn't that rare eh

Anyhow Jilbagias.

Yes.

You seem to have brought back a troubleso one.

Indeed.

I an, I thought that I was done for a while. It was purely by sheer will that I managed to maintain the mask of a demon race prince.

Okay then. Let's not waste our ti in this place. We've to go back to the demon king castle imdiately.

Platy struck her cheeks with her hands and then stood up from her chair.

Eh, already? I thought we were going to rest for a while

Even though her willpower was clearly returned after my return, her leg was clearly unsteady.

It didn't really matter if we returned now by carriage but, we're riding a dragon you know?

Jilbagias, as of now, you're treated almost as if you're already dead. That's why things are bound to get really troubleso later if we don't cancel it now.

Ah

Thus, we left Cosmolodge in a hurry.

We then rode the dragon. And different from when we ca, with my increased height, Platy couldn't hug anymore.

I an, I sat behind Platy right now.

The autumn sky was colder than I thought. The wind was chilly and when I started to sniffle, Platy recited a defensive spell as if she just recalled it now.

A while after we took off, after the flight was starting to stabilize, Platy whose tense mind and body had loosened then started to nod off.

Oi, are you kidding . You're going to die if you fall from this height you know.

Mother, I guess you really overdid yourself this ti

Can't be helped I guess.

Please lean on and take a rest for now.

I held the handle of the saddle and let Platy lean on .

Is it that bad? well, I guess you're right sorry for the trouble.

After saying so, Platy finally truly leaned on . Though she did her best to stay awake, it only took less than a minute for her to fall asleep in my embrace.

Taking a nap while riding on the back of a dragon, what a foolish fellow

The son is showing his filial piety to his mother, eh.

I heard Ante's tearing voice resounded in .

Shut up. I'm the one who will be in trouble if she dies in this place after all.

Nevertheless, what do you an by Your son will beco a splendid demon king from a while ago.

I wanted power, never once did I say that I wanted to beco demon king.

The answer to your curiosity is pretty simple.

Ante was laughing maniacally.

Thou seek power to kill your siblings, defeat the demon king and slay your mother. Once you accomplish all of that, you will naturally be regarded as Demon King both in sense and reality.

That's why I promised that woman. I promised that her son You, will beco a splendid demon king.

That's right.

That was my wish.

I might've ended up drowning in the blood of my own race but that was indeed, my own wish.

I'm really looking forward to that day.

And then, Ante was staying silent again for the rest of the journey.

Thus, I could only look at the ground while holding onto Platy's warm body.

Soon enough, the demon king castle ca into view on the horizon.
