Chapter 286: Chapter 30: Deciding Ownership through a Duel (Referring to Demon King City)

""Ah, talking to you is really enjoyable... I didn’t expect you to understand me so well~"

With that, the Helde Ice Demon Queen·Queen Crowned Glasis Demon floated ahead and led the way. She glanced back at Yila and the two other passersby (Hilena, Satan Ye: ...), and said, "The ’abstract style’ you mentioned is really a good name~"

The Helde Ice Demon Queen had already decided that in the future, when she encountered those who laughed at her paintings, she would use the praise Yila gave today, such as "this will be the future trend" or "using contrast and vivid colors, the patterns express the inner world," to shut them up.

Now, the four of them were walking towards the duel arena of the Underground Demon King City, surrounded by a crowd of onlooking demons... Yes, the ownership of the Underground Demon King City would still be decided by Hell’s traditional rules.

That was a duel to determine the stronger side, which, although somewhat brutal and primitive compared to negotiation and purchase, was still much more civilized than savage slaughter.

...

"Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll only use half of my strength in the imminent duel, okay~"

The Helde Ice Demon Queen said this, once again looking at the two passersby following Yila, and added, "If it’s the little Crimson Dragon, I’ll only use one-tenth of my power... although even then, they probably wouldn’t win."

Clearly, the Helde Ice Demon Queen thought Hilena was Yila’s henchman... This notion made sense because Hell’s demons were unfamiliar with who Yila was.

In other words, in their eyes, Yila was probably just a "human without any Mana aura, a non-professional"... That Yila could be treated equally along the way was surprising enough.

"I suggest you use your full strength, so there are no regrets... when you battle me."

Yila said this, and the Helde Ice Demon Queen immediately cast a puzzled look... *Yila’s words made the Helde Ice Demon Queen hesitate. She shook her head and said,* "You’re not even a professional; I can’t control my strength at... one percent? One-thousandth?"

It sounded like the Helde Ice Demon Queen really wanted to give the Underground Demon King City to Yila.

"Hehehe~"

Satan Ye couldn’t help but laugh, then coughed lightly to quiet down when noticed... Indeed, there was nothing funny about it because Yila’s situation was indeed very rare.

The Governor was a profession that was completely out of place in this world.

"You can think of me as..."

Yila said this, following the Helde Ice Demon Queen into a stone open-air structure somewhat resembling the Roman Coliseum. Around the stands, many demon spectators had already gathered.

"Hilena, Satan Ye, you can watch from the seats over there..."

Yila said as Hilena could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere from the Helde Ice Demon Queen. She said worriedly, "Master Yila, please be careful."

Yila responded only with a wave and a departing back.

"No need to worry, Hilena..."

Satan Ye said this, thinking that Hilena had never seen Yila use "Wing Shattering" before and wasn’t present during the previous massacre. She said, "Hmm, I remember you haven’t seen Mister Yila go all out before..."

This was true, but Hilena had seen Yila reaping on the battlefield and heard about his feats upon returning from battle, so she had a general understanding.

At least she wouldn’t mistakenly think Yila was weaker than the Helde Ice Demon Queen.

"I know, I’m just... a bit concerned."

Hilena said this, and Satan Ye once again showed a frequently seen expression of thoughtfulness. Taking advantage of Yila’s absence, she quietly asked Hilena, sitting beside her, "Hilena, do you like Mister Yila?"

Hilena’s eyes widened, and she instinctively shook her head, saying, "It’s not like that, Your Highness. I... should have no such feelings, probably just purely... admiration?"

Satan Ye understood. She crossed her arms and nodded, expressing her understanding, then said, like a little adult, "I see... Well, Mister Yila also doesn’t seem to have any such feelings for you."

...

Hearing this, Hilena felt a little choked for some reason. She said through clenched teeth, "I can see that too, Your Highness... Yila is just focused on his work, right?"

However, speaking of which...

"Cassiopeia likes Mister Yila, very obviously. And I can also feel that Mister Yila seems to have some feelings for Isabella."

Satan Ye said this, thinking deeply, and added, "Plus, that Miss Gurela... how many brides will Mister Yila have at his wedding?"

...

Anyway, for Satan Ye, this topic was still a bit too early, making her naivety and cuteness distinctly clear. So Hilena could only smile helplessly without answering.

But it could be imagined that Yila probably wouldn’t choose to settle down so young, likely not considering such matters until he was five or six hundred years old... Besides, it was normal for strong individuals to choose not to marry or even engage in romantic relationships.

Because it’s hard to find someone compatible and on the same level.

--------------------

"Are you serious, human? I will first use the least amount of power to fight with you..."

For the concerned tone of the Helde Ice Demon Queen when saying this, Yila felt that explaining might not convince her, so he decisively demonstrated with action: "First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Spread."

With such an incantation, amidst the exclamations of the surrounding audience, dangerous and aggressive Mana instantly expanded from Yila’s body, and a crimson, spectral wing capable of flight appeared behind him.

In an instant, Yila’s impression shifted from a "super, super non-Mana adaptable being" to someone with considerable strength, even comparable to the current Helde Ice Demon Queen·Queen Crowned Glasis Demon, a legendary powerhouse.

"I see, your ’profession’ is truly unique... Worthy of creative humans."

The Helde Ice Demon Queen instantly understood Yila’s situation. She confidently expanded her power to half capacity, showing a fighting spirit and said, "Honestly, human, you are the first to challenge me in a century... I will try to hold back."

"Be careful not to be crippled by me~"

The Helde Ice Demon Queen said this with a blazing battle spirit... After all, demons were demons. Fighting was a primary hobby and theme of life for many demons. From this perspective, Favignano was indeed a pure demon dragon.

Satan Ye might not have inherited it well... But who knows.

At least the excitement on Satan Ye’s face wasn’t fake.
