Chapter 9 Becoming a Demon King
Ulysses tried to throw a few punches with all his strength. His punch speed reached more than fifty punches per second, which completely shocked him. It must be said that with Ulysses's original body, even with the acceleration spell, he could only achieve about ten punches per second at most, and this was already pretty good amongst mages. After all, mage's fighting method was based on magic, and did not require a strong body. As far as he knee, many mages from aristocratic backgrounds didn't even have the energy to walk three kilometers. In contrast, Ulysses, who grew up in the village, had a little stronger physical strength than the average person because he had to work to earn living expenses.
"Is, is this really my body?" Ulysses looked at his body and couldn't believe that this weak-looking body actually had the explosive power to strike fifty punches in an instant. And he faintly felt that this was definitely not the limit of this body, this body contained greater and stronger power. But Ulysses was already shocked with the power he showed now. It must be said that throwing fifty punches in an instant was already the power of a level fight warrior. Before last night, his body was only a little stronger than the average person, not even a level one warrior.
"Of course it's yours, master. How is it? Is the body that has been transformed by the book of the demon king powerful? Now your body strength is about the same as an excellent level five warrior. And with the blood of Lord demon king Astaroth in your body, your strength will be increased rapidly. I believe you will reach level six soon." Aya answered Ulysses' question.
"The blood of the demon king!!" Ulysses noticed this weird term that often appeared in Aya's words. Could it be that human blood was no longer flowing in his body now! With this question in mind, Ulysses picked up a fruit-cutting knife and made a small cut in his arm.
Under the golden sunlight coming in from the window, Ulysses clearly saw the color of his blood. That was not the bright red that human blood should have, but the dazzling gold like the sun. There was no doubt that this blood was by no means human blood, nor could it be the blood of elves or beastmen. In fact, in Ulysses's perception, no creature on the continent had golden blood. Then there was only one answer, which was what Aya said-the blood of the demon king.
"No! Will I become a murderous demon from now on? Will this world be destroyed in my hands! Oh Supreme God! Please cast down the punishment to destroy this unclean body!" The moment Ulysses saw the color of his own blood, he was so desperate and started to talk nonsense.
"Murderous?? Destroying the world? Master, what are you talking about?" Hearing Ulysses talking nonsense, Aya was confused.
"I have become a demon king! Isn’t the so-called demon king the kind of demon that will kill countless humans and destroy everything?! That book of the demon king will definitely contaminate my soul and plunge me into the darkness of the abyss. Ah! No! I can already feel the dark power in my body, they will immediately encroach on my heart, take my body and turn me into a demon! Aya, run away! Otherwise, when I become a demon, you may be killed." Ulysses yelled with fear.
"Haha! Haha! Master... Master..." Hearing Ulysses's shout, Aya not only didn't run away but laughed frantically, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Stop laughing! Aya! Run away! After you escape, please inform Taji City Church and let them send high priests to destroy me! Otherwise, the world will be over. I can already feel that the dark magic energy in my body is getting stronger and stronger. I’m afraid it’s going to swallow my consciousness soon. It will be too late if you don’t run away now.” Ulysses shouted, his tone of voice anxious like never before. But it didn't have any effect on Aya, it made her laugh even harder.
After smiling anxiously for half an hour, Aya stopped and said to Ulysses with a smile on her face, "Master, did you misunderstand something? You haven't practiced the dark power yet, so how can you possibly have dark energy inside your body?" After hearing what Aya said, Ulysses also realized something wasn’t right. Half an hour later, that "dark power" still hadn’t swallowed his consciousness.
"Actually, the purpose of the demon king in my world is very different from yours. The demon king in your world seems to refer to those who have super dark power and are extremely cruel. But in my place In the world, the demon king simply refers to the strong man with supreme power. As long as he has enough power, regardless of his personality and power type, he will be called the demon king. And Lord Astaroth is the most special of all the demon kings. He is proficient in almost all types of skills in that world. Even the light magic that you like, he has a deep knowledge of." Aya explained to Ulysses.
"Then, is the dark power in my body..." Ulysses's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Yes, you are scaring yourself. You don't have any dark power in your body." Aya smiled at Ulysses and said, "Although you were selected as the successor of Lord Astaroth by the book of the demon king, your personality won't change because of this. It’s just that there is one more identity as the successor of the demon king. You are still you, and it is impossible to become a demon that destroys the world. Besides, although the book of the demon king has transformed your body, it has only transformed the basic structure of your body. So even if you have the blood of the demon king, now you are still just a level four light mage with the body of a level five warrior. Even if you really want to destroy the world, you still don’t have that power at the moment.”
“Oh, I was almost scared to death. You should tell me this in the beginning!” Knowing that he would not suddenly become a frenzied demon, Ulysses heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, can I become a demon king who specializes in light magic?" After hesitating for a long time, Ulysses asked Aya. Since becoming a demon king was inevitable, Ulysses at least hoped that he would not become a demon king who loved killing. If he only practiced light magic, he believed it was impossible for him to become that kind of evil demon king.
"Of course you can. What kind of demon king you want to become is entirely up to you. Aya's role is just to instruct you on how to increase the power of Lord Astaroth stored in the book of the demon king. Even if you want to be the high priest in this world, it is still not a problem. Just be careful not to let others discover the color of your blood." Aya replied with a smile.
“Really?!" Ulysses couldn't believe his ears, there was actually such a good thing.
"Of course, and if you want to specialize in light magic, there are many advanced spells and items in the book of demon king!" Aya's answer once again made Ulysses overjoyed.
"So, from today, let's work together well! Aya!" Now that he knew that he could decide his own future, and he still had the hope of becoming a priest, Ulysses's dislike of becoming a demon king became much weaker. Since there was no way to escape, then he decided to face it calmly. He extended his right hand to Aya, trying to shake hands with her to show his friendship.
"Yes, my dear master!" Aya ignored Ulysses' right hand and flew directly into his arms.
In this way, in the early morning of this day, Ulysses became a demon king.
