Chapter 771 - Final Battle 5 (1/2)

Luke, who everyone thought was dead.

As he appeared, tears welled in the eyes of everyone.

Until a moment back, everyone seemed desperate, they had lost hope, wanting to take revenge for Luke.

But then, Luke appeared, alive!

Luke’s eyes seemed like they were asking Crown.

Who won the bet?

Grinning at the human, Crown answered.

“Human’s King, Luke de Rakan, congratulations on winning the bet!”

Listening to the words, humans and fairies smiled.

On the other hand, Arsene trembled to see the enemy who stood up from hell.

“Dad!”

“Master-!”

Starting with Karen, everyone ran up to Luke. Everyone was happy that Luke didn’t die, even happier that the bet was won.

Karen jumped in to hug Luke, who was still looking at Crown.

“Ung! This is good, I am glad that you are okay!”

“Look at this crying over…!”

As he was stroking his daughter’s head, he fell back.

The injuries were severe, yet his mind was able to calm down, yet, the energy in his body was turning faint.

“Majesty!”

“What are you all doing! Heal him quickly…!”

While the wizards and the zen users were treating him, Arch Duke Gregory and the others surrounded Luke.

Their opponent was the Demon.

Although he admitted that he had lost the bet, the Demon could break his promise.

Unlike them, who were highly tense and still with their swords trembling in hand, Crown had no intention of fighting anymore.

“The humans are stronger than I thought. He stopped my strongest attack.”

Crown scratched the part where his right side horn got cut off.

He spoke to Arsene, who was trying to deny the reality in front of him.

“Since I lost my bet, I am going back to Devildom.”

“W-wait. Please. Please. Wait. Demon King!”

Frightened, Arsene grabbed Crown’s leg.

Despite Crown’s bloody gaze, Arsene didn’t let go.

“Why. Are. You. Violating. The contract?!”

“Breaking the contract? I didn’t do that.”

“You promised to kill the human called Luke!”

Bargosa sided with Arsene and asked Crown.

If the Demon King went back to Devildom, his plans would go wrong.

Crown spoke back.

“Kill? That Lich has asked me to take him down.”

“That…!”

Bargosa, who tried to rebut, couldn’t think of anything. It was true that Arsene had used those specific words.

And although Crown lost the bet, he did ‘take him down’.

So no contract was violated.

“Demon King, Arsene didn’t mean it like that. He was asking you to take him down forever…”

“Shut up! In that case, you should have specified the word ‘kill’! Why do you keep changing your words?!”

Crown screamed at them.

Arsene trembled in fear of getting hit by the Demon King.

However, Crown did nothing. Since the contract was done, he had to take the price.

“Anyway, now this one belongs to me.”

“TH-that!”

When his Life Vessel appeared in Crown’s hand, Arsene went blank, not knowing what to do.

There were cracks on the skull, a blue-colored figure was there.

“I have nothing more to do with you guys. No, well, you Lich, will have to see me every day once your rotten body disappears, Kukuku!”

“No-no…!”

The worst situation.

Without even killing Luke, his only Life Vessel was stolen.

Arsene tried to grab Crown, but his figure disappeared. He went back to the real Devildom.

“No! No! this. Can’t be! Ridiculous!”

As Arsene screamed, Bargosa smiled.

Crown’s behavior had changed.

Apart from making bets with humans, he simply went back to Devildom.

‘Did he notice my trick?’

Bargosa was planning to remove Crown on earth.

He was in exile, but he couldn’t be relieved knowing that Crown was alive.

1,000 years ago, Crown promised to not regain power or take revenge.

However, it was still possible to kill his own son in an indirect manner, such as helping the other Demon Kings.

So, when the opportunity came, he called him to Middle-earth, to kill him.

His abilities would have never worked on Crown. Even though he was in exile, he was a Demon King once, and he still had power in him.
