Chapter 285 Encountering The Demon King, The Demon King Is Liberated!
However, if the Demon King still didn't die despite the new batch of heroes, the Demon King would regain his freedom again. This cycle would continue until a batch of heroes managed to defeat and eliminate the Demon King.
Even if a Demon King wanted to retire and didn't want to fight the heroes, a Demon King would have no choice but to face the heroes and die. Only by dying would their curse be completely liberated.
The Demon King might be the second strongest existence in Fantasia, but none of the top powerhouses envied the Demon King.
Zanna even complained about the Demon King surpassing her speed of becoming stronger but she didn't want to bear the same curse as the Demon King.
Although it took a hundred thousand years for Zanna to become the strongest, at least she didn't have to be cursed by the Goddess of Fantasy.
The top powerhouses in the world were mostly aiming to be stronger than the Monster King and even the Dragon King but they weren't jealous of the Primordial Spirit of Chaos and the Demon King.
Not only would they die if they ever swam in the Sea of Chaos so they couldn't be as powerful as Zanna, but they also didn't want to become the same as the Demon King.
Becoming the second strongest in a thousand years but couldn't even leave the Demonic Impure Land was boring as hell.
Those wise demons in the demon race wouldn't even want to become the Demon King and instead, they preferred to be a demon general.
With that being said, the Demon King's position was like a hot potato that was passed around but no sane living being would ever want to become one. Even if the Demon King position was presented in front of them, they dared not receive it.
Alister was well aware of the Demon King's predicament but he didn't care much since it wasn't related to him.
He didn't hate the Demon King nor liked the Demon King. However, he still has to fight and defeat the Demon King due to the difference in their position.
Since he was on the side of this world, he would have to defeat the Demon King to prevent the Demon King from making trouble in this world.
Alister might not care about other major races in this world, but the spirit race was protected by Zanna and him.
The Demon King had already taken indirect action during the six heroes' invasion of the spirit realm so the Demon King was already his enemy.
While Alister was planning for the defeat of the Demon King as he drove the royal carriage, Alister felt a powerful presence heading towards him.
With his All-Seeing Heavenly Eyes, Alister could discern the appearance of that approaching powerful figure which caused his eyes to widen in surprise, "Is that the Demon King?"
"How come the Demon King is here? And from the looks of it, the Demon King seems to have the intention of leaving the Demonic Impure Land?"
"However, that should be impossible unless all the nine heroes are dead. After all, that would cause the liberation of half of the Demon King's curse. Although the Demon King in that liberated state would still have the immortality curse, his freedom wouldn't be restricted and he could leave the Demonic Impure Land."
"In other words, the Demon King had already planned to leave the Demonic Impure Land to cause trouble to the outside world. And that's only possible due to the death of the nine heroes."contemporary romance
"This alone could confirm that the Book Hero is already dead. After all, if the Book Hero isn't dead, even if the eight fallen heroes have died, the Demon King still couldn't leave the Demonic Impure Land."
When Alister muttered those words in surprise, Zanna also heard of it and she asked, "Should we fight and seal the Demon King ahead of schedule?"
"But if we do that, the major races won't have enough time to prepare for the great war against the demon race."
"At most, only the royal army under the king of each major race could be dispatched into the battlefield along with the top powerhouses. The other armies under them couldn't be dispatched due to lack of preparation and time."
"Although, it doesn't matter much considering the demon generals are already surpassed by the sheer number of top powerhouses from the five major races. Even if there are many minor races under the demon race, the combined royal army of five major races can also defeat the army of the demon race."
When Zanna thought about it, she expressed that the war might be hastily started, but it wasn't a big deal.
At most, there would be a lesser number of armies to be dispatched. But in the end, the demon race would still have no choice but to be defeated by the combined royal army of the five major races.
However, the five major races wouldn't go too far and would only eliminate the demon army and not the other members of the demon race.
Even if they felt that the demon race was a threat due to the emergence of the Demon King, they still were well aware that they couldn't destroy and exterminate the demon race.
If the demon race was exterminated to the point that there was no possibility for the birth of the next generation Demon King, the top powerhouses of each major race knew that the Goddess of Fantasy might reelect the race that would be targeted by the human heroes.
Who knows if the Elf King or the Dragon King will become the next "Demon King"?
Due to that possibility, the five major races only planned to cripple the power of the demon race for the next one thousand years by eliminating the demon army.
However, they would still leave a powerful demon that would potentially become the next Demon King so that their respective race wouldn't be chosen by the Goddess of Fantasy as the next "Demon Race".
