Chapter 655: Chapter 476: Demon Sixth Princess_2

A dark green blood hole suddenly appeared on the round neck.

After a grueling battle with the collaborative effort of three women, they finally managed to kill the Cannibal Giant.

All of them were gasping for breath, looking quite exhausted.

Qin Chu was especially relieved, "Antia, Violet, Catherine, I really owe you one."

"Now I am completely drained of strength, nearly depleted. If it weren’t for your protection, I might have died here."

He wasn’t lying, Qin Chu truly was exhausted and nearly depleted, but his energy could recover, and its recovery rate would be so fast that it would leave these demons in despair.

...

The Imperial Palace under the cloak of nightfall appeared even more serene.

A figure was fluttering through the night.

On the exterior, he looked like a quite handsome and elegant nobleman.

However, the occasional weird, almost distorted movements displayed during his maneuvers clearly indicated he was not human; he was more like a soft-bodied creature with a human appearance.

A weird, sinister smile hung on his face, devilish in nature, chilling to behold at a glance.

His arm swung, directly turning into a long snake-like object in the night sky, winding around a streetlamp post, and his body drew a long curve in mid-air, drifting forward.

His name was Misso.

He was a Level 82 Tentacle Series Demon.

Tentacle Series Demons, as an important part of the demon tribe, hold a very dominant position within the demons, essentially considered as nobles among them.

They inherently possess considerable strength, and adult Tentacle Series Demons, even without deliberate training, have combat capabilities equivalent to a Level 50 human warrior.

The Tentacle Clan has always been the most loyal supporter of the Demon King.

Of course, they also precisely choose their next investment targets, arranging the elite of their younger generation around those most capable of becoming the next Demon King.

Just like the former Prince Diaberlic, who had two Tentacle Clan experts as his vassals, it’s just unfortunate that both experts perished in the magma during a hunt for the Fiery Flame Witch Phil.

After the death of Diaberlic, the Tentacle Clan needed to choose their next investment target.

With Princes Third Prince and Prince dead and Second Prince missing, there weren’t many capable contestants left for the throne of Demon King among the Demon King’s progeny. One would think that Seventh Prince, Romon, popular in the recent times, would be a decent investment target.

But, the clan leader always felt that Romon had no brains. Although he seemed to have done quite shocking deeds recently, however you looked at it, Romon didn’t seem like a clever guy—just brute strength and nothing else.

The clan leader originally wanted to place his bets on the Great Princess.

But now, everything had changed.

Why couldn’t he himself become the Demon King?

Even though he knew the number of competitors would be enormously high, the hope extraordinarily bleak, every creature of some strength wanted to try their luck.

What if?

What if he got lucky and really became the Demon King?

Misso was one such ambitious demon.

Earlier that afternoon, he had also witnessed the scene where the Cannibal Giant Rockwell attempted to assassinate Qin Chu.

All brawn and no brains, as dumb as they come.

So many demons had infiltrated the Imperial City, many stronger than you, and yet they all waited, hidden in the shadows, observing. Only you, Rockwell, charged in like a foolish pig. And what happened? You died, didn’t you?

Yet Rockwell’s sacrifice was somewhat useful, at least it allowed Misso to see the real deal with the Hero’s side.

The great Hero, that’s all there was to him.

Facing the attack of a Cannibal Giant, he was so panicked.

The renowned women around the Hero also proved quite disappointing in their display of strength.

It actually took three women, including the widely known Crimson Valkyrie among the demons, and quite an effort to take Rockwell down.

Indeed, that was humanity.

A weak, cunning, and despicable species.

It seemed that the legend of the Hero single-handedly defeating Second Prince and Third Prince was pure nonsense.

This Hero, he didn’t have that capability.

Probably that despicable Hero led a group of experts to ambush the isolated Prince, then shamelessly hogged all the credit afterwards.

Humans always liked to engage in such shameless acts.

What intrigued Misso more was something the Hero mentioned after the three women had killed Rockwell. His strength was exhausted? Almost depleted?

Seems like the Hero might have just gone through some terrible ordeal, rendering him powerless now, no wonder he panicked so much when ambushed.

Wasn’t this an exceptional opportunity to assassinate the Hero?

The Hero without strength, what difference was there between him and an ordinary person? Wouldn’t he easily be captured with Misso’s own strength?

Although the women around the Hero were somewhat troublesome, the most challenging issue in Misso’s mind was no longer how to kill the Hero, but how to kill the Hero before other demons did.

Then, to avoid the other demons’ pursuit and encirclement, and safely deliver the Hero’s corpse to the presence of the Demon King.
