Chapter 82 – The Way to Kill the Demon King (2/2)

“Heh, I don’t know either.” Lin Xiao shook his head, “But my guess is that… the person who stuffed you inside the box wasn’t an enemy, but was your companion.”

“What? Companion?”

Elena widened her eyes.

Why did her companion stuff her inside a parcel?

“Think about it, there should have been signs before the rebellion, although you didn’t notice them, your subordinates or companions probably noticed and in order to protect you, they snuck you inside an express delivery parcel as a disguise. The evidence is Elona!”

Lin Xiao patiently explained.

It was evident that Elona knew that the Demon King was in Winterless City, that’s why she took the risk and came out alone to infiltrate into a human city. That meant that she had insider information, she might have even been the one that put Elena in the box!

“It was like that?” Elena was in a daze, and was at a loss for words.

This was something that even she had no clues about, but Lin Xiao was able to guess the truth with just a few words?

“Wait… y-you said that you had two questions?” She held her head and asked in a quiet voice, “What’s the other one?”

“I don’t know which side is good and which is bad, and I don’t want to know, but there’s one thing that I’m curious about…”

“Curious about what?”

Hearing her question, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, then dragged his finger across his neck and made the decapitation gesture.

“The second question is… how they were able to usurp power. Elena, as the Demon King, even if you didn’t hold the position for long, you should’ve possessed the strongest power. So, how did they defeat the strongest? That’s what I’m curious about.”

“…” Elena remained silent.

She couldn’t answer this question, at least currently, she couldn’t tell Lin Xiao yet.

This matter was too dangerous, if it was leaked, then the entire demon race would be in danger!

Even if it was Lin Xiao, she couldn’t say.

“You don’t want to tell me? That’s fine, I’ve already guessed it.” Lin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and admired Elena’s hesitant cuteness.

“What? S-stop making wild guesses… it’s wrong either way!” Elena refuted.

“Is it? It’s not too late for you to listen first then judge…”

Lin Xiao confidently talked about his reasoning.

According to the resources he found in the library a couple of days ago, he finally had a complete understanding of the demons.

High-level demons could use Monarch’s Aura to control demonic beasts, but if they were both high-level demons, then Monarch’s Aura would be useless, at most it would exert some pressure. All of his reasoning was based on this fact.

The Forest of the End contained numerous scary demonic beasts,

and high-level demons would naturally use them as fighters or bodyguards, the Demon King was no exception.

“The question is, as the Demon King, you posses the strongest Monarch’s Aura and can control any demonic beast, right?” Lin Xiao asked.

“Right.” Elena nodded her head blankly, not understanding what he’s trying to say.

Lin Xiao immediately raised an example.

If one day a high-level demon wanted to rebel, and wanted to become the Demon King, what would he do?

Or rather, what should he do so that he can kill Elena?
