The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 757: Not Scary


Supreme Castle, top floor.

Shien, carrying Lilith, walked along the corridor, apologizing profusely to the little goddess.

“I really didn’t mean to leave you and disappear like that.”

“I’m not lying, I was dragged away. It… it was very sudden.”

“Alright, alright, it won’t happen again. I won’t make you worry anymore.”

Shien kept apologizing to the little goddess who waited for him all night and almost lost control.

“Mm-hmm!” Lilith, however, didn’t seem to mind at all, nodding repeatedly with a smile, not needing any coaxing, her docile nature making Shien almost want to cry.

“As expected, you’re my most precious little darling.”

Obedient, understanding, never getting angry at him, always so patient and uncomplaining, honestly, if she weren’t so young, Shien would definitely find a way to marry her.

Of course, even without marrying her, this girl wouldn’t leave him.

If he couldn’t have her as a wife, then he would raise her as a daughter, equally satisfying.

Shien patted the little goddess’s head, making her happy.

However, thinking of having to appease a certain ice-cold dragon girl, he felt a headache coming on. That girl wasn’t easy to please.

“If nothing else works, I’ll just use force,” he decided.

So, Shien turned down a corridor, heading towards Airi’s room.

But just as he turned a corner, a beautiful girl also turned the corner, bumping into him.

“It’s you?” Shien stopped, staring at the beautiful girl before him, stunned.

It was the Limit Level dragon girl, Yulin.

“Hmph!” Yulin, also seemingly not expecting to see Shien here, snorted coldly and turned to leave, as if disdainful.

Seeing this, Shien raised an eyebrow and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck.

“Yaaah!” A childish scream escaped her lips.

Shien, holding her like a cat, said with a smirk,

“You violent dragon, you’ve learned to give me attitude after transforming into a human? Have you gotten too cocky, or have I gotten too soft?”

Having guessed her identity, Shien no longer held back, asserting his authority as her master.

But Yulin wasn’t having it.

“Let me go, stupid master!” she shouted, struggling, “You were the one who didn’t recognize me!”

“So? Is that my fault?” Shien said nonchalantly, “You transformed, even your aura changed completely. It’s normal that I didn’t recognize you.”

“I gave you so many hints!” Yulin protested, “Stop making excuses, you’re just stupid, stupid master!”

“Ho ho…” Shien narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing, “It seems I haven’t disciplined you in a while.”

Saying this, he channeled his magic power, transforming it and injecting it into Yulin through his hand on the back of her neck.

“Uwaaah!” Yulin shuddered and cried out.

The magic power, in a form easily absorbed by her, flowed into her body. This familiar sensation, usually pleasant, now made her uncomfortable.

Shien slightly altered the magic power’s wavelength, making it still easily absorbed, but also incredibly itchy, making Yulin’s knees buckle, almost collapsing.

She could only cry out,

“Don’t… don’t… don’t do this… stinky master… stupid master…!”

Yulin lost her strength, becoming a doll in Shien’s hands.

“Still calling me names?” Shien sneered, increasing the magic power flow, making her scream again.

“No… no… stop… wuwuwu… stop…!” Yulin struggled weakly, trying to escape his grasp.

Unfortunately, Shien not only held her firmly, but also became more playful.

“Now you know how to treat your master, right?” he asked with a seemingly kind smile, “Still going to call me names?”

“N-No…”

“Still going to give me attitude?”

“N-No…”

“Then do you know what to say now?”

“Wuwuwu…”

“Hmm?”

“I… I won’t do it again! Master!”

Under Shien’s coercion, Yulin finally surrendered tearfully.

Shien released her, only for her to collapse on the ground.

“I… I can’t…” She lay there weakly, her face flushed, her body twitching, as if she had just been ravished.

“…Did I go too far?” Shien blinked, then, realizing something, he looked around.

The passing demons had stopped, staring at this “crime scene” with strange expressions, especially seeing Yulin twitching on the ground. They looked at Shien as if he were a criminal.

“Should we call the patrol?”

“Yes, this is a crime.”

“But he seems to be one of the Demon Lords’ guests?”

“Then let’s report this to the Demon Lords and let them decide.”

Such whispers reached Shien’s ears.

“Ahaha… ahahaha…” He chuckled awkwardly, then quickly picked up the limp Yulin and ran away.

About ten minutes later, Yulin was fully recovered.

But the first thing she did was rebel.

“You damn bastard master! I’ll bite you to death…!” Her eyes filled with tears, like a defiled maiden, she pounced on Shien with a look of shame, anger, and humiliation.

“Stop it,” Shien said, placing a hand on her forehead and keeping her at arm’s length.

“Bite you to death, bite you to death, bite you to death…!” Yulin continued to struggle, her arms flailing, trying to hit him, but her arms were too short, only brushing against him.

Shien, finding this boring, said,

“If you keep making noise, I won’t be able to control my magic power.” His hand on her forehead warmed slightly.

Yulin shuddered and jumped back, not daring to approach his “hand of magic.” But feeling that this was too cowardly, she glared at him, grinding her teeth, as if saying, I haven’t surrendered, I just don’t want to fight in close combat, I want to use ranged attacks, so from now on, I’ll use my “death glare.”

“Rawr! Rawr!” She even roared like a ferocious dragon.

Shien almost burst out laughing.

“Give it up,” he said mercilessly, “You’re not scary now, just cute. Just be a good little pet.”

“Who’s a pet!?” Yulin said indignantly, “Don’t think I’m still the same as before. I’ve transformed into a human, I’m no longer a monster, but a demon, a Limit Level dragon demon. Besides the Demon Lords, I’m the strongest in the Demon Realm. Who dares to call me a pet?”

“Me,” Shien pointed at himself, “I’ll continue to see you as a pet. Don’t worry.”

“You…!?” Yulin was furious, “Stinky master! Stupid master! Evil master! Perverted master! Scumbag master who went out looking for other women all night!”

Shien was speechless.

“Who taught you those words?” he asked, annoyed, “Shut up! Don’t say that again!”

“I’ll…” Yulin was about to retort, but seeing Shien raise his hand, radiating warm magic power, she swallowed her words.

Then, she started to act pitiful.

“You didn’t even recognize me, and you treated me like this. I was so excited for you to see me like this…” Tears welled up in her eyes.

Her pitiful look made Shien’s heart clench.

“Your personality has also become quite something after transforming, huh…”

He remembered when this violent dragon only knew how to roar. Now, she was even using a woman’s weapons? As a dignified Limit Level dragon, shouldn’t she be looking down on others like they were insects? Acting like a little girl, and she still dared to call herself the strongest below the Demon Lords.

How ridiculous.

However, this behavior, instead of making her seem out of place, made her more lively and spirited. The past Yulin was just a monster, unable to be as flexible and intelligent as a true person, no matter how smart she was. The current Yulin was like a real person, not just a dragon.

Was this what a transformed dragon was like?

Thinking of this, Shien sighed, walked over to Yulin, and patted her head.

“Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?” He could only try to appease her.

“Hmph,” Yulin turned her head away, but didn’t avoid his hand, even rubbing against it slightly, a smile appearing on her lips as her mood improved. Feeling his hand on her head, she felt a sense of familiarity. Before she transformed, Shien often patted her head like this. Since her stupid master had apologized, she would forgive him.

Yulin closed her eyes comfortably, her two days of sulking finally over.

“Hee hee.” Lilith, who had been watching, also giggled.

Thus, Shien, Yulin, and Lilith, separated when they arrived in the Demon Realm, were finally reunited.

Having officially reunited, Yulin naturally stayed by Shien Buztout’s side, looking cheerful.

Lilith and Yulin also had a good relationship. Before Yulin transformed, they had communicated several times. Now that Yulin was back, Lilith wasn’t shy at all, getting down from Shien’s arms and holding Yulin’s hand, walking behind him, whispering to each other like best friends.

Shien, surrounded by his beloved, was also in a good mood, thinking he could press his advantage and coax his newly “confirmed” fiancée.

Who knew…

“Master is asleep,” Graty said, standing before Airi’s door with Beauty, blocking Shien’s path with a stern expression, “And she gave orders not to be disturbed by anyone.”

“Not even me?” Shien asked, pointing at himself.

“That’s right,” Graty said bluntly.

“In fact, Master specifically mentioned you. She doesn’t want to see you right now,” Beauty added, not giving him any face.

This made Shien realize that Airi was truly angry this time. After all, he disappeared right before her eyes, and she waited for him all night, only for him to return with his face covered in lip prints. If this were his previous life, she would have already packed her bags and gone back to her parents’ home.

But Shien also felt wronged.

“I didn’t want to leave! I was dragged away!” he said, feeling like crying.

Of course, Graty and Beauty, who only obeyed their master’s orders, wouldn’t sympathize with him.

“Anyway, Master doesn’t want to see you. There’s nothing we can do,” Graty said, taking a swig from her wine barrel and breathing alcohol fumes at Shien.

“I think you should just go back to those women outside. That way, Master can give up and cancel the engagement,” Beauty even suggested hopefully.

Shien wanted to teach these two women a lesson. Yesterday, they were clinging to him, wanting to drain his magic power, and today, they were acting like nothing happened? Damn sister-cons!

As Shien cursed them inwardly, Yulin, holding Lilith’s hand, stepped forward, perhaps unable to stand it any longer.

“You two, get out of the way,” she said directly, “Sister Airi definitely doesn’t really not want to see my stupid master. She’s probably just waiting for him to coax her. If you keep blocking him, and they make up later, you’ll be the ones who suffer.”

Well said!As expected of a transformed adult dragon, she even knows how to defend her master, and her reasoning is sound, much better than her previous violent self. Good job!

Of course, if she could stop calling him “stupid master,” that would be even better, you silly dragon!

Shien thought this as Graty and Beauty argued with Yulin.

“Our master isn’t that childish. Do you think the king of our Dragon Race is a fool who can be easily coaxed?” Graty said, planting a flag.

“Exactly, our Dragon Lord is a ruthless Demon Lord who personally killed two Heroes. Do you think she can be manipulated just because of an engagement?” Beauty sneered, planting an even bigger flag.

“You two idiots, you’ve lived for so many years in vain,” Yulin said, looking down on them.

This instantly angered Graty and Beauty.

“Weren’t you angry at this Hero yesterday? Why are you defending him now?” Graty retorted.

“And you call yourself the strongest dragon our race has been waiting for? I thought you’d come to your senses after yesterday, but you surrendered so quickly. Useless,” Beauty taunted.

However, Yulin wasn’t angry, her disdain only intensifying.

“You were after my master’s body yesterday, and now you’re bringing up the past again, thinking that me following my stupid master is a bad thing?” she asked, “I think you two will never reach Limit Level in this lifetime.”

“You…!?” The two dragon women exploded.

Just as these three strongest members of the Dragon Race were about to clash, Airi’s cold voice came from inside the room.

“What are you arguing about outside?”

Her chilling words instantly extinguished the sparks of conflict.

“Master…”

“Wasn’t she asleep?”

Graty and Beauty looked at each other.

Yulin, however, curled her lip.

“See? I told you, Sister Airi is waiting for my stupid master to coax her.”

This girl, after transforming into a human, had become much smarter and more emotionally intelligent.

However, her increased EQ seemed to have come at the cost of her IQ.

Because…

“Bang!”

A fist formed of magic power shot out from the room, hitting Yulin hard on the head, making her cry out in pain and crouch down, holding her head.

“Did you think I couldn’t hear you, brat?” Airi’s angry voice came from inside.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Graty and Beauty finally reacted, turning towards the room.

“Perfect opportunity!”

Shien, who had been watching from the side, seized this chance, a glint in his eyes, and teleported.

A commotion immediately erupted from Airi’s room.

“Who let you in?”

“Can’t I come in on my own?”

“You dare enter my room without my permission?”

“Did you expect me to announce myself like your mindless subordinates?”

“…Get out!”

“No!”

“Don’t think I won’t attack you.”

“I should be the one saying that.”

After this argument, it seemed someone did attack, or rather, made a move, and the arguing turned into playful banter.

“Let go!” Airi shouted.

“No!” Shien was still as stubborn.

“Who allowed you to hug me?” Airi was truly angry now.

“You said I could hug you anytime,” Shien retorted, bringing up the past.

“You…” Airi was both angry and helpless.

“I heard you were sleepy? Then let’s sleep!” Shien’s triumphant voice came from the room.

The subsequent conversation was inaudible to those outside. Clearly, Airi had been defeated by Shien’s shamelessness and had given in. Next, they would probably argue about “sleeping together.” However, even Graty and Beauty could tell that it was more flirting than arguing.

“…”

“…”

The two dragon women’s worldviews were shattered. They were even a little shaken.

Master, weren’t you always so dignified, not even letting your sisters touch you?

Master, aren’t you the ruthless and violent Dragon Demon who even killed two Heroes?

Master, are you sick?

Master, you were really hugged, and you’re even planning to sleep with a human man?

Master…

At this moment, Graty and Beauty felt dizzy, as if in a dream.

“See? I told you,” Yulin said, rubbing her head and confirming there were no bumps, then, regaining her composure, she continued to look down on the two seniors, who glared back at her. Yulin naturally glared back, not afraid of these two losers. Moreover, these two women were still after her master’s body. She would take this opportunity to teach them a lesson, letting them know that she was the only one who could be “filled” by her stupid master!

That being said, they couldn’t fight here. This was the Supreme Castle, the most important administrative center in the Demon Realm. Only those who didn’t value their lives would fight here.

Considering this, Yulin withdrew her aura first.

“Let’s go back to sleep, Sister Lilith,” she said, picking up Lilith.

“Mm-hmm!” Lilith, having also stayed up all night with Shien, was sleepy, and since Shien seemed busy, she didn’t refuse Yulin’s invitation and nodded.

Yulin turned to leave.

Until…

“Wait!” Graty called out.

“What?” Yulin turned back, annoyed. This idiot dragon, don’t tell me she’s actually planning to fight here?

Graty naturally wasn’t planning to fight here.

“…Are you really planning to stay with that Hero?” she asked, looking at Yulin, who was holding Lilith and completely devoted to Shien, her expression complex, making a final confirmation.

“That question again?” Yulin was annoyed, “No matter how many times you ask, my answer is still the same. I won’t stay with the Dragon Race.” Her tone was firm, without any hesitation.

“Why?” Beauty asked unwillingly, “You’ve already reached Limit Level. You don’t need that Hero’s special ability to improve your strength anymore, right?”

Indeed, having reached Limit Level, Yulin could no longer absorb Shien’s magic power and increase her strength. She had already reached the limits of life, the next step being Transcendence. But Transcendence couldn’t be achieved by ordinary beings, only Heroes could ascend through their own power. Others, like the Half-Demon and the Greater Spirit of Death, were just exceptions. Yulin had reached her limit. From now on, no matter what she did, she couldn’t increase her power any further, only enhancing her combat ability through external means, like equipment. She could leave Shien now.

But she wouldn’t.

“I’ve already said, without stupid master, I would just be a frog in a well, a country bumpkin dragon. I wouldn’t be where I am today,” Yulin said.

“Therefore, from now on, I will always stay by stupid master’s side, as a dragon who can fight for him.”

Saying that, Yulin left without looking back, leaving Graty and Beauty staring at her retreating figure, speechless.

Finally, they looked at each other.

“It seems we still have to find a way to keep that Hero here.”

“Indeed.”

The two dragon women’s resolve hardened.

They just didn’t know if it would work.
