The Unemployed Demon Lord

Alice sighed in her heart, lamenting that fortunately she was a hired brave man, so she didn't have to bear any responsibilities. If she was a real brave man, if she didn't die here, she wouldn't have the face to go back to the Holy See.

She looked behind her and saw countless shadows of man-eating sharks criss-crossing back and forth, lurking under the sea, and they did not attack rashly, but followed closely behind the boat, waiting for someone to fall off, and then had a feast.

"It really didn't attack us..."

Alice was a little puzzled, thinking that under normal circumstances, this group of man-eating sharks would bite the boat and eat us raw, but now they seem to be afraid of something, only dare to follow, but dare not attack.

"Isn't this natural? Don't think that man-eating sharks are low-level monsters. They don't have much intelligence, but their perception is very good, and they can foresee potential dangers."

Merlin turned around and chuckled, thinking that Alice, a stupid girl, had never read a book.

Alice didn't speak, but a little hope was kindled in her heart. With Merlin around, maybe she could really cross the Orkney Strait safely.

In the library of the First Demon King's Hall, Merlin has been in it for a long time, because as a traveler, his primary purpose is to collect information.

Even Lilith knew that when Merlin was reading, he must not be disturbed.

After reading many books, Merlin has the most basic understanding of the world.

There are magic and grudges here, and the most common strength classes are four, low-level, middle-level, upper-level, and holy-level.

The holy rank is almost the apex that all creatures in this world can reach, and of course there may be existences beyond the holy rank.

For example, Merlin, he feels that he is not in any power class at all, and he exists like a bug.

For the generalization of the world, Merlin can sum it up in one sentence

This alternate world has medieval customs, but is full of fantasy elements and many unsolved mysteries.

Although the book describes the outside world, there are bound to be discrepancies, so he is still looking forward to this trip.

Maybe you can meet a super powerful existence, as long as you cut him down, you can lift the damn curse.

Thinking of this, the corners of Merlin's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help becoming excited, and even ignited.

The two sailed away from the wreckage area of ​​​​the battleship, and were trying to wander in the open sea.

The endless sea is not beautiful at all, and the storm is coming and going, which looks extremely fierce. There are many scarlet eyes lurking in the dark deep sea.

Alice was very disturbed in her heart, rowing against the storm was very strenuous, and she was always worried about the appearance of sea monsters.

Fighting at sea, even Merlin might not be able to deal with the snake-necked sea dragon.

Alice looked at Merlin's back, and doubts arose in her heart, so she asked, "Lucifer III..."

"Everyone said don't call me by that name. I'm no longer the devil king. Lucifer's name can't be used casually. My name is Merlin now."

"Why did you leave the Demon King's Palace?" Alice asked directly, feeling that such a powerful existence, why did you go to the human territory, isn't this the rhythm of chaos in the world?

A drop of cold sweat dripped down on Merlin's forehead, thinking that he must never say anything about being fired, it's too embarrassing.

Of course, you can't say anything about the curse, it's a secret, and I'm not familiar with Alice, so why tell her.

"I'm so awesome, I'm invincible in the demon clan, so I feel too boring, can I go out and do something?"

Chapter 21:

"This... what kind of excuse is this? Could this be the reason you fought?" Alice had a strange expression, thinking that this is not a foreigner?

"Yeah, if I don't make trouble for a day, I'll feel bad all over..." Merlin threatened with a serious face, "If you have any objections, I'll throw you into the sea and feed them to the sharks."

Alice was full of complaints, stuffed her throat, and rowed indignantly, scolding all eighteen generations of Merlin's ancestors in her heart.

She felt a kind of imbalance, why would a rascal like Merlin be so powerful?

And I practiced hard in the icy snow mountain for more than ten years, but I couldn't even beat Merlin's two fingers.

I have paid so much sweat and slaves, and endured many hardships, but in the end I was humiliated by Merlin as a weak chicken.

Alice felt very humiliated in her heart, and her frustration hit her hard.

"May...Merlin..."

"Ok?"

"Do you have the strength of the holy rank?" Alice asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Merlin answered truthfully. He really didn't know what level of strength he was in. He was considered a class of high-ranking men, right?

"Sure enough, it's through extraordinarily hard work that you can reach this level, right? Isn't genius 1% sweat and 99% hard work?" Alice hoped that Merlin became stronger through hard work, otherwise she would I'm starting to doubt my life.

"Do you believe what idiots say? It's obviously a lie. I want you mediocre people to be stupid as stepping stones, desperately trying to drain the last drop of blood, and make a little bit of contribution to the world. It's outrageous." Cruel lies, mediocre people should be down-to-earth and recognize themselves." Merlin said bluntly.

"How could it be?" Alice felt that her faith was beginning to waver.

"The so-called genius makes a person with absolute talent, if the talent is caught up with hard work, what kind of genius is it?" Merlin smiled and continued, "The success of a genius cannot be caught up with 1000000% hard work, and there is an insurmountable gap , this is genius."

"Then...then..." Alice slid the sculls numbly, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were trembling, and her three views were completely destroyed, "Then how did you become so strong? Can...can you tell me? "

"This..." Merlin withdrew his gaze, stared straight ahead, and told the truth

"My mother is the master of the second generation of Demon King Palace, which is what you call Lucifer II."

"I was born into a royal family, I thought I could live a life of eating and waiting to die, playing with my sister every day."

"But in the 197th crusade by the Holy See, my mother died in battle."

"I have no strengths, and my sister and I depend on each other, but the demons are a cruel race where the weak prey on the strong."

"Without the protection of my mother, my sister and I were humiliated and trampled under our feet. My sister would be whipped by the nobles every day in exchange for the humble food."

"My younger sister is a weak and sick person. Once she was seriously ill in the cold winter. The family lacked clothing and food, and she was dying."

"At that time, I set a goal, I want to become stronger in order to protect my sister."

"I went up the mountain to fight rock giants, I went down to the sea to tear up sea monsters, I chopped down giant dragons in the sky, and I didn't even let go of magma monsters."

"I have been practicing my sword skills hard, wielding the rusty sword every day, and I have been on the verge of death countless times."

"In the end, relying on my strong strength, I killed the enemy who bullied my sister before, returned to the throne, pulled out Vientiane Jialuo, and raised the skill of drawing sword to level 99999999999999999999999."

"When I looked back, I was unbeatable."

Merlin let out a long breath, and the blond hair on his forehead fluttered.

He looked up at the storm in front of him with a firm and unyielding face.

Having said so much suddenly, Merlin felt a little embarrassed

"That's it, that's all."

"My past is an epic of a prince's revenge."

Chapter 22:

what is this?

I didn't expect it to become stronger after being oppressed.

By the way, what does the 99999... level mean?

Alice was very puzzled, but hearing Merlin talking to herself, she felt hopeful in her heart. It seemed that she hadn't worked hard enough, otherwise she would be able to step into the power class of the holy rank.

"Sure enough, you still rely on hard work to get to where you are today, right?"

"No, who worked hard, my dream is to eat and wait to die, how could I work hard?" Merlin grinned, pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "My uncle is a full-level horse since he was born, a strong one. "

"Pfft!" Alice vomited blood for three liters, her self-esteem was hit hard, and she felt that Merlin was obviously playing with herself, and the hope that was finally ignited was instantly extinguished, so she said emotionally, "Then what you said just now is so sensational. What are you doing?! Since you are so powerful, how could you be so miserable in the past! You thought it was an awards ceremony, and you would be embarrassed to go on stage without a tragic story, right?!"

"I'm not lying. In the past, I was very weak, because I didn't know how to use my strength. I'm almost a useless person." Merlin raised his eyelids and said seriously, "For example, it's like I have a lot of energy. HP, but there are no skills that consume HP, so it's very disheveled and uncomfortable."

"What does H...HP mean?" Alice was full of question marks.

Merlin shook his head. It is impossible for people from another world to understand things like HP.

"It's nothing. In layman's terms, I am a full-level Yasuo who went out and walked in the middle. I foolishly forgot some skills. I can only draw A with my opponent."

"??!" Alice frowned, completely unable to understand.

"Go away, I can't explain to you, go home and use the washboard to scrub the mud." Merlin waved his hands impatiently, feeling that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't explain clearly in the language of another world.

"If you don't say it, then don't say it! Why are you scolding me?" Alice's pretty face flushed with anger, thinking that Merlin deliberately concealed the method of cultivation, and didn't want to tell herself, "Stingy..."

Merlin twisted his mouth and said nothing. He thought that he was fully online, didn't learn skills, and couldn't show his strength, so he drew his sword and slashed skills. Is it hard to understand?

Could it be that I also lost my IQ with this stupid girl...

The two were getting farther and farther away from the death swamp. The dark sea water in front of them was connected with the dark clouds in the sky, like a dark and heavy door, slowly opening, leading to an unknown distance.

At first Alice could hear the man-eating shark churning behind her, but now it's very quiet behind her.

Looking back curiously, she found that the group of sharks behind her had already disappeared.

"The man-eating shark is gone, did he really give up?"

"You are too naive. The man-eating shark escaped because a bigger predator came. This is the law of the biological chain."

"Eh!?" Alice didn't understand what was going on.

Merlin's face was flat, without any fluctuations, his eyes were fixed on the thunderstorm ahead, and the rainwater hit him on the face.

The waves in the distance were higher and higher, and the turbulence became very restless, blocking the progress.

The boat the two were riding on shook up and down, and the huge black shadow under the sea slowly emerged and became clearer and clearer, as if a big turtle was coming up.

A large area of ​​sea water turned black, and was shrouded by the figure of this unknown monster. It is hard to imagine how huge this monster is?

"Get down." Merlin said lightly.

"Why?" Alice was startled, not understanding the situation.

"Something is coming, I won't care if you fall into the sea, because I can't swim either." Merlin replied honestly.

Alice was startled, and looked under the water of the boat, it was pitch black.

Her heart skipped a beat, there was a bad warning, and she immediately regretted going to sea with Merlin.

Alice put down her oars and lay obediently in the boat.

"Didn't you go into the sea and tear the sea monster? Why can't you swim?"
