Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter



Tring

Bianka and Bailey closed the door before waving their hands at them.

Benimaru put his hand down after they left and returned to his cultivation session. 

At that moment, Ravenna and Fiain approached him. "Benimaru.."

"It's okay." Benimaru said it with assurance. "You do not have to worry. Let's continue in what we are doing. Only, time will tell."

Ravenna hesitated for a bit, not understanding what to do. But Fiain grabbed her shoulders, and she also gave her a look of assurance.

Only after that did Ravenna calm herself down and go to work.

Seeing Ravenna back to normal made Benimaru secretly sigh in relief. 'Huh~ Life is sure full of surprises.'

…

The sun set down, announcing the start of evening.

Bianka and Bailey had arrived in front of Bianka's house gate.

"It feels so nice to walk after such a long time. Thank you, Bailey." Bianka said with a cheerful smile.

"Auntie, it was my pleasure. If you need to go out again, then just tell me." Bailey said it seriously, again showing her confidence in not being afraid of Belal.

"Hahaha…" Bianka just chuckled at that and didn't say anything.

They entered the house without knocking on the door. Just as Bianka opened the door, she met Belal's rushing figure, and behind him was Tanaka.

Belal came before Bianka and asked with concern, looking around everywhere. "Mother, are you alright? Did anything happen? Why did you stay outside for so long? Do you feel uncomfortable."

Seeing her son's concern made her smile and have some tears come out too. But holding herself back, she said. "I am just fine. Your mother can still beat men with just her one arm."

"Huh~" Belal sighed in relief, ignoring her joking manner. "I am gl-"

"Blarg!"

Thud

Belal's words came to a halt as he watched, with open eyes, Bianka fall to the ground.

"Auntie!!" "Mother!!"

Everyone yelled out loud in shock. They crouched down and checked up on her.

Belal took his mother into his arms and saw her weak and fragile body that was suddenly aging. Belal made a surprising revelation, seeing her like that. "You lied to me…you told me the sun wouldn't do much if you came into contact with it for so long. You lied…why?"

"Uh…" Bailey contemplated hearing that as she started to feel guilty.

Tanaka saw all this and shouted in anger. "Quit all of this nonsense. Brother Belal quickly brings Auntie to church. I guess we have to use what is available to us."

"Huh..Huh…Yes, yes…let's go." Belal came to realize that he was wasting time just thinking about all the unnecessary stuff now. His main priority now was to have her see a good healer.

He carried her like a princess and ran in the church's direction with all of his might. He even forgot about the issue of trying to hire the priest of this church.

The reason Belal wanted to hire another goddess of life church's priest was because of the absurd price and class discrimination that existed in this church. The people would have him run around in places and suck his money as much as possible before finally getting to talk to the priest. And when you finally meet the priest, it would be fortunate if the priest would see your patient properly, as he or she only cares about people with status.

A couple of minutes later, they arrived at the church and prepared to rush in. However, their spring came to a halt as the paladin guards stopped them.

"Hold it. You can't go in." 

"Move away. Can't you see a sick patient in his arms? Lead us to your priest." Bailey shouted in anger. Her shout caught the attention of many in the streets, and they started flocking toward them after they recognized who they were.

However, Bailey's words had zero effect on the guards. "Then show us your permit. You have to know that we do not allow unregistered people inside the church. This is for the safety of the church." 

Everyone was left dumbfounded, despite the reason being somewhat valid. 

Bailey said with a frown as she went to grab her sword. "Hey! If you guys don't move, then I wi-"

"Please," Suddenly, Belal spoke, halting Bailey. She looked in surprise to see Belal bow his head, go on his knees while his mother was still in his arms. "Please, I beg you. Let me go see the priest. I will give you whatever you want."

The crowd's mood became gloomy after seeing Belal like that, and they began to show compassion toward him. But they still didn't stand with him, as they were afraid of angering the church.

The guards also became a bit speechless, not knowing what to do. 

"What is happening?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, surprising the guards. They quickly turned around and spoke in unison while bowing. "Greetings, priest Belmuk."

Belmuk walked out of the entrance with his personal guards and two other junior priests. His eyes landed on the crying Belal, who was looking at him with hope. This made him raise his eyebrows. "What is happening?"

The guards quickly explained it to him, making Belmuk quickly assess the situation. He said it softly, with annoyance. "Tch, they made such a scene for this? Now, I can't take advantage of them. Unfortunate."

However, Belmuk didn't show his annoying side outside; instead, he walked forward with an innocent smile. "Child, I have heard everything, I can help your mother. Also you do not have to give the money now, you can give it to any of the priests when you can."

Belmuk pressed his right hand in Bianka's direction. 

Seeing this, Belal said it with utmost gratitude. "Thank you, priest Belmuk. I will never forget this."

Belmuk didn't say anything, instead focusing on healing the patient before him as fast as possible as he had to go meet with Baron Arash.

A green light glowed from his palm as it slithered into Bianka's body. At first, Belmuk had a nonchalant face, but as time went on, his face gradually distorted.

All of a sudden, his eyes shot open as he retracted the mana back. Taking a few steps back, he looked at Bianka with shock. "How? How can this be?"

He looked up at Belal and said it with anger. "Who are you? How can you be allowed to be in this city, you spawn of a demon!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock after hearing Belmuk's words. 

"Demon's spawn? Don't tell me…"

"But she…"

Belal yelled with dumbfoundedness. "What are you saying, Priest Belmuk?"

"Can't you understand?" Belmuk's face turned stern as he glared at him. "I was checking your mother's body to find the cause of her sickness, but I found something else.  Your mother's body is made of demonic composition, and demonic energy is overflowing her body. She isn't human, but a demon."

"No…no… You are lying. How can this be?" Belal felt his entire world crumble. He felt the world was not as bright and open as before; it was filled with darkness, of which he uncovered only the first layer.

"Kill them quickly! Call the city guards too!" After saying that to his guards, Belmuk looked at the top of the church. "Why are you sitting quietly? Come and finish them fast, or they might escape."

Thud

Suddenly, a silhouette dropped to the ground, just before Belal. It was a man clad in shiny silver and white armor with a green cape. He had a helmet on that made it hard to see his face, and a short green tail was on the back of his helmet. There were also some green clothes on other parts of his body. There was a giant broadsword on his back.

"Is that the Paladin Captain of this church, Ahat?"

"Yes, it's him. There is no escape now."

Ahat looked down at Belal and said it with a hoarse tone. "It is interesting to be able to blend in with humans for so long. But that ends today."

Ahat went to grab his sword and kill them in one single blow.

Tanaka and Bailey were stunned and scared to even make a move. They could feel the mana pressure that Ahat was putting on them. 

Tanaka thought in horror, sweat covering his face. 'How can we win against him? He is too strong. Much stronger than the Silverback Gorilla.'

Meanwhile, Belal's heart was broken beyond repair; he had zero will to do anything but watch as Ahat's sword fell on him.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Ahat's eyes widened as he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Bam! 

A strong force hit his face and blasted him away, sending him crashing onto the church walls.

Bang!

"What…." Belal became shocked to numb witnessing the sudden turn of events.

Bianka on his arms was no more, as she was standing before him with her new looks. He watched dumbfoundedly as his mother smiled once again, but with heavy arrogance. "I am sorry, Belal."
