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



Everyone was dumbfounded and in awe of the scene in front of them.

A gorgeous woman was standing tall before Belal. Her valiant and heroic might made some fanatical. Her long black hair, which was of medium length, swayed left and right in the air. Her tightly knitted muscles showcased her strength and figure, which brought shame to many men.

"Mother?" Belal was having a hard time believing the person before him was his mother. 

"Yes, I am, Belal." Bianka smiled at him with her warrior-like aura, yet despite that, there was a motherly affection on her face that was hard to remove. "Let's leave this place first."

Bianka swiped her hand up, and the ground beneath Belal, Tanaka, and Bailey's feet got ripped apart from the earth. After she was done doing so, her figure vanished into the air as she zoomed through the sky like a bullet, and along with her was the ground she ripped apart where Belal and his team were.

"What just happened here?' The bystanders asked each other dumbfoundedly, not expecting the situation to escalate to this height.

Thrud…

Ahat got out from behind the wall by completely breaking it. People's respectful gaze toward him vanished this time and was replaced with fear. They could feel the dreadful aura leaking out of him, indicating how angry he was getting smacked away in public.

He couldn't let this shame go away. He had built his reputation for so long, how could he let it be destroyed like that?

"Guards. Summon everyone. We will go on a purge." Ahat said this with glowing red eyes behind his helmet. 

"Yes, sir." The guards quickly obliged with his orders and went to gather everyone.

…

Deep into the forest on the east side of Migotanie City.

Bam!

Bianka landed on the ground with Belal and others. Just as she set foot on the soil, she stumbled a little before supporting herself against a tree.

"Mother!" Belal quickly went toward her to support his mother. "Mother, are you alright?"

"I am fine." Bianka looked beside her son, who was staring at her with worry. She wanted to fake it and let him see she was alright, but she failed miserably. All of a sudden, her body gave up and slumped toward Belal.

Quickly catching her, Belal laid her down and used his arms as a pillow. 

Bianka's body slowly returned to her previous self, this time much weaker and more fragile. Her former glory was gone, and so were her tiny horns on her head that were hard to see.

"Mother…" Belal cried with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what to do; his mother was a demon; the entire city would be looking for him; he didn't know if Tanaka and Bailey would see him with the same eyes as before—he was lost now.

"Belal, don't cry. You are a grown man, you shouldn't be crying. You know your father never cried, so how can you be his child?" Bianka said softly, soothing her son's turbulent heart.

"Belal, let me tell you something before I leave and do not interrupt me with your crying, okay?" Bianka said it with love and affection, which Belal couldn't refuse. "Thank you."

"Belal, as you already know, your mother is not a human but a demon. Not just any, I am from a race called Titanomia, a race that dwells in the deepest parts of the demon realm, boasting their overwhelming physical strength. I, with my racial talent, became a well known Demon Lord and killed and plundered the human inhabitants."

Bianka's face saddened, and one could see a slight guilt in her face, but that vanished with what she said next. "However, everything changed when I met your father. After getting defeated by a fellow demon lord, I fled with my injured body, to find a shelter. That day, I stumbled upon your father, who was just an ordinary farmer. At first, I wanted to kill him because of my nature, but instead of fearing me, he took me with care and mended my wounds. No matter what sort of threat I pose to him, he would just swat it with a smile on his face, and that…managed to capture my heart."

"Then, forgetting all of my past, I lived a simple life with your father, and eventually I got pregnant. Unfortunately, for us demons to bear a child that has human blood, it takes too much time as mana and demon energy have to combine together and make totally different veins to hold. So, it took you too long to come out, and by that time, your father had already left the world, as he wasn't a mage or warrior, he was just an ordinary man. But he didn't become sad when he heard that, he just looked at me with a smile and said he hoped that I could let you grow up properly. He was just happy to have you."

Belal became stunned as tears just rolled down his cheeks. 

"Belal, I hope you are like your father and don't feel guilty." 

This made Belal confused. "What do you mean?"

"Belal, us demons are forbidden to have children with humans. So that such things do not happen, the elders have put a restriction on them. If we conceive a child with humans, our bodies will age as time passes. It just takes five years normally for a demon to wither away from this world, and coming into contact with the sun would accelerate this process."

"You mean…" Belal went from shocked to numb as he started to understand everything. Then something clicked in his mind. "I was born so long ago, but you are still alive. Don't tell me!?"

Caressing his cheeks, Bianka spoke with a husky voice. "I extended the process forcefully so that I could help you become a better man. To watch you grow. I feared dying and leaving you alone so much, but fate seems cruel. It would make things go according to themselves, even if it takes decades."

"I….I…." Belal was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Tanaka and Bailey watched silently, holding back their tears. 

Yes, they were at first wary of Bianka and Belal as they were demons, but as time passed and they watched everything transpire, their conception of demons changed a bit. They felt stupid for even having the thought of doubting Belal.

"Found you." Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind them, scaring the living daylights out of them. 

They looked back and saw Ahat walking toward them slowly. They became shocked, not understanding how he came this fast. 'How can this be? We are more than thirty kilometers away from the city. He doesn't look as strong as Auntie Bianka; he shouldn't be this fast!'

They were right, Ahat would have never been this fast. Except he had the help of a rare item that the church had easy access to—a teleportation scroll that can teleport in any direction within twenty kilometers of its radius. With its help, Ahat was able to chase them so fast. Unfortunately, he couldn't bring his army, as the scroll supported only one person.

But, there was no need for them, as Ahat was able to do it by himself.

Bianka looked at Ahat in horror before coming to a decision. "Belal, take them and leave. I still have some strength in me, I can hold him for a few minutes."

"No, I won't leave you alone." Belal was instantly denied. 

"Belal, did you forget who they are to you now?" Bianka's question made Belal's eyes widen. He looked ahead at the cowring figures of Tanaka and Bailey, who were arming themselves to fight Ahat despite being scared.

Belal came to the realization that he had a new family that he had to protect. "Mothe-"

"Well, well, a puny human is trying to threaten to kill demons." All of a sudden, a man in a black and red-bordered cape appeared before Tanaka and Bailey. Not only he, but two female figures in pure black cloaks appeared before them. 

One thing that was common among them were the masks they were wearing. All of them had different masks that hid their faces.

The man's one was a yaksha with one horn, while the two females had rabbit and cheetah masks.

Of course, everyone could guess who these people were. They were none other than Benimaru, Ravenna, and Fiain. 

"Huh? Another demon? But why are you hiding your faces?" Ahat asked curiously.

"That is none of your business." Benimaru didn't answer his question; instead, he said something to the girls. "Take them to the base and kill anyone that approaches you."

"Ignoring me? Well, let me see where you take them?" Ahat pulled his sword out and dashed toward Belal, ignoring Benimaru this time.

Ting

Suddenly, Benimaru appeared before him and used his most faithful katana—Black Sun—to block Ahat from going any further. "You sure have a big ego."
