Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 687 - 344: There Really Isn’t an Option to Surrender Anymore

Chapter 687: Chapter 344: There Really Isn’t an Option to Surrender Anymore

As Shami expected, the fact that he was the Demon King was announced by Fata a month later.

In Yili Village, adventurers cheered for Jack’s foresight.

Originally, Jack only wanted to find Shami as a teammate but was slightly confused; he quickly accepted the honor.

"So, you’re the Demon King? Things just got more interesting."

Jack looked at the newspaper in his hand, smirking devilishly.

Demon Realm.

Demon King Castle.

The Demon King convened an important meeting.

Shami stood at the podium, looking towards the rectangular conference table. On either side of the table, from front to back, sat four Demon Envoy maidens, followed by the tribal leaders of various monsters.

"This time we’ve gathered everyone to explain the current situation of the demon tribe. Now, except for Saili’s Demon Envoy identity which hasn’t been leaked, the identities of the remaining Demon Envoys, including the Demon King, are known throughout the continent."

Shami spoke while glancing at the magical girl in the front row.

When in Saint Karno City, the Demon King maiden had the least contact with several people. Before entering school, the magical girl sneaked into the hotel where several people lived from the balcony. After entering school, as a student of the Magic Academy, the magical girl frequently ran between the school and Fata, having only a few contacts with several people, and has not yet attracted suspicion from Fata and Saint Karno School.

The magical girl raised her small hand in a scissors gesture, adorably saying:

"Yay~ Victory~"

"There’s nothing worth celebrating about this."

As the Demon King, Shami frowned deeply.

Now, he wasn’t worried about the entire continent knowing his identity as the Demon King.

If a hero comes, how would they deal with the Demon Envoy maidens? ——That’s what he’s most worried about now.

The Outerworld Hero has even defeated the white-haired man; if he can’t resist the Outerworld Hero, then the Demon Envoy maidens under him are doomed.

After defeating the Demon Envoys, it’s normal for heroes to torture them, especially since his four Demon Envoy maidens are all stunning.

"What’s Shami worried about?"

Elze looked at Shami.

Shami was silent for a while, and spoke honestly.

"I’m worried if I can’t beat Jack, what will you all do..."

"Hmm?"

It was the magical girl’s first time seeing Shami’s worried expression.

"Just think about it; if any member of the demon tribe gets defeated by the Outerworld Hero and knocked unconscious into a cave, they’re bound to become an abused plaything, experiencing a series of unbearable things."

"Shami has already likened Jack to the traditional goblin in concept! Don’t slander the now-sacred goblin army!"

The elf maiden protested.

But the maidens could still see Shami’s concern.

"Don’t worry. A chameleon won’t get caught so easily."

"Fata is not some place outside the law."

"I can return to Elf Forest."

"I can be Lureya’s maid and go to Elf Forest to hide."

The meeting seemed to fall into a strange dismal atmosphere.

Watching the Demon Envoy maidens already discussing where to seek refuge, Shami’s eyes welled with tears.

Turns out they all had an escape plan; it seemed only he had to face everything alone.

Shami was troubled, but his anxious heart gradually settled.

In his misfortunes, he was lucky; the Outerworld Hero was male. Even if he were defeated after fighting with all his might, death would be the only outcome, rather than humiliation.

Shami was very cautious about the Outerworld Hero.

As a fellow transmigrator, he deeply understood the power of transmigrators; they are like a bug in this world. If the previous 71 Demon Kings all got killed by Outerworld Heroes, the probability of him being killed by an Outerworld Hero is definitely not zero.

Although very confident about the current strength of the demon tribe, deep inside, Shami, who had read the history of Aireland Continent, still felt a twinge of retreating fear, thinking of the picture of his own death.

If this is absolute fatalism, even if he rebels, it’s in vain...

The Demon Envoy maidens also sensed something was wrong with Shami’s mood and quieted down.

The elf maiden slightly raised her head.

"Shami, are you okay?"

Shami managed a slight smile, regaining his composure.

"Of course."

Even if the defeat of the demon tribe is destined and there’s no way he can escape the fate of being killed by an Outerworld Hero, he must protect the four Demon Envoy maidens before him and the lives of the monsters following him.

If possible, even surrendering, using his freedom, body, and even life as the cost... this became a potential choice deep in Shami’s silent mind.

At this point, Bone Frame suddenly stood up, which startled Shami and everyone else.

"Bone Frame, what are you doing?"

Bone Frame looked seriously at everyone present, explaining how she kept feeling something was left undone. Now, she finally remembered.

"I remembered, Lord Shami! I have extremely important information about Jack that I haven’t reported to you."

"Then hurry up and tell us!"

Bone Frame took a deep breath and revealed the information that changed the atmosphere of the conference room to silence.

[Outerworld Hero Jack has strange feelings for Lord Shami... (omitting many content arguments)]

The meeting room was incredibly silent.

Finally, the sigh of relief from the Elf Maiden broke the silence.

"So that’s it, it seems the Outerworld Hero is completely targeting Shami, we don’t all need to hide away."

"Yeah, yeah."

The maidens all agreed, except for Shami, whose face turned black.

"What do you mean by ’weird emotions’? It sounds so poetic, but you’re actually saying Jack is an ambivert, right? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, bone frame!"

The Bone Frame leaned back slightly.

"I thought Master Shami already sensed it, after all, boys’ ’gaydar’ is a bit stronger than girls’."

There were some terms Shami couldn’t quite understand, but she realized the situation had dramatically shifted.

"Now there’s a reason to fight Jack."

Shami sat down with an extremely serious expression, resting her chin on her hands.

"Suddenly filled with fighting spirit! Clearly Shami was just about to accept defeat!"

The Elf Maiden cried out in surprise.

"Of course! If I lose, it’s not just a simple matter of death, the Outerworld Hero will definitely humiliate me!"

Remembering Jack’s enthusiastic approach when they met, Shami felt her hair stand on end.

Now what he needs to worry about isn’t the four Demon Envoy maidens, but himself!

No one can predict how many tricks the Outerworld Hero has up his sleeve, or what he can do. In this Outerworld that has shed the shackles of past lives’ ethics, if Jack defeats him, then Jack would be the master of this world.

At that time, even if Jack makes him wish for death or turns him into his Star Fury, it’s possible! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Shami shivered, feeling a cold chill.

Carrying the weight of his life and future, in this battle, he absolutely cannot fail!

Even if it’s fate, he has to break this cycle!

"Everyone, the situation has changed. From now on, the Demon Race will establish the Outerworld Hero Jack as the number one adversary target. By any means necessary, he must be eliminated! This is a battle concerning the life of the Demon King, concerning the future of the Demon Race. Every demon must stay vigilant!"

Shami issued the most critical command.

"Understood!!!"

The various demon leaders at the conference table raised their right hands at a forty-five-degree angle.

At this moment, Shami became incredibly calm.

"However, we still have some time left. There’s still a period before Jack reaches level 45. We can take this opportunity to prepare thousands of hero-killing plans."

"So many plans! Shami is being too careful!"

"Ah no, Master Shami, Jack is already level 44."

As Shami pondered, the Bone Frame slowly raised his hand to speak.

"Ah...ah?! "

Shami stood up, looking over in disbelief.

"Jack only came to this world a few months ago, how does his level increase faster than mine?!"

"Because Jack and his adventurer group have constantly encountered different demons within the Fess Kingdom... and they’ve defeated all the demons... so their levels quickly increased."

"Within Fess Kingdom... that should be Lina’s responsibility, right?"

Shami glared hauntingly at the white-haired girl sitting at the front of the conference table.

The white-haired girl’s cowlick puffed up instantly, and her eyes dodged, nervously fiddling her fingers resting between her thighs.

Oh no! Sending experience too fast?! Without a care, she sent Jack to level 45!

But it’s really urgent! If she keeps dawdling, by the time she defeats the Outerworld Hero, Shami will have been developed completely by Lureya!

"Um... um..."

Feeling guilty, the white-haired girl stuttered, trying to find an excuse.

"Alright, it’s not your fault, Lina."

Shami sat down, wearing a gentle expression absent of rebuke.

"After all, that Outerworld Hero defeated even you."

No, no, it’s entirely because she kept giving Jack experience that caused his level to skyrocket!

In reality, she had never actually faced Jack head-on, so there’s no such thing as defeat!

"Lina, you have us behind you."

Shami calmly watched the Demon Envoy maidens and demons.

"Since Jack is about to reach level 45, let’s prepare to snipe him."

"Shami, please give me one more chance."

The white-haired girl stood from her seat, looking at Shami sincerely, her hands clenched into fists.

"This time, I won’t fail again. I will definitely defeat Jack."

Shami nodded.

"Don’t worry, Lina, you are always the battle chief of the Demon Race. After all, among the demon envoys, only you can fight."

"That’s such a hurtful thing to say!" The Elf Maiden and Dragon Race Maiden complained simultaneously.

"Before anything else, there’s another important matter to consider—the Outerworld Hero’s special attributes against demons."

With arms crossed, the Magical Girl calmly pointed out the most critical point.
