The Hero Betrayed Me? As A Dark Magician, I Resurrected The Demon King - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Death of the Archbishop

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as the word “completed” was heard, the entire Rose City was filled with resurrected warriors.

The border cities were filled with slaughter. Countless experts died to magical beasts, or magical beasts were killed by experts in Rose City.

This place was originally a blood-stained land. After the Heroess revival, countless terrifying magical beasts and warriors appeared from Rose City.

The Cardinal Zelenthal turned pale with fright, “Crazy, you must be crazy. This is a human city. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens for summoning Heros?”

“Everyone, hurry up and deal with those revived Heroes. I’ll hold off the Demon King.”

He had no choice but to give such an order. In fact, this was already a disguised compromise.

After all, without the help of the many red-robed priests, a single red-robed Archbishop was no match for the Infernal King.

Under the current circumstances, this was equivalent to giving up on chasing after the Demon King.

Chen Deng smiled slightly. He was not a cruel person. He did not like to use the spell Resurrection on the Dead. However, he had yet to recover his Demon King’s strength, so it was quite difficult for him to deal with the Cardinal. Moreover, he had these two burdens by his side.

He had no choice but to find another way.

“This Cardinal, do you want to continue exchanging a few moves with me, or do you want to make way?”

The Cardinal Zelenthal had a calm expression, “Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will keep you here.”

“God bless us, for the sake of all living beings in the world.”

“Glory from the Holy Light! I use my life as a guide, my soul as a bridge, and the name of God to summon a two-winged angel from another dimension. Her real name is Melrose. Listen to my summon and descend.”

He knelt on one knee and chanted a summoning spell.

Chen Deng, who was originally extremely calm, could no longer hold it in.

“I’m negotiating with you, and you’re risking your life against me. Are you crazy, old man?”

“If you do this, your soul will scatter and fall into hell forever.”

Chen Deng looked at Nicholas and Serena beside him, “Grab my hand and prepare to escape. Even God can’t do anything when facing a lunatic.”

He held the hands of the two women, and finally, the shadow formed and rushed out of the tavern.

Far away in the capital, the Holy Pope’s expression changed. He felt an incomparable holy power.

“Zelenthal, my good brother, your sacrifice will not be in vain. I will seal the Demon King and make him pay the price.”

Beals, who was fleeing, frowned, “What dense divine power. Is it Rose City in the south? Is my king there?”

“Looks like I have to make a trip.”

At this moment, Zelenthal’s eyes gradually dimmed, and his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the sky, a soul bridge appeared.

An angel that was flapping its wings like a child descended from the sky.

He came to Zelenthal and shrugged his nose, “God above, what a devout believer, I will fulfill your wish and save the residents of this place.”

Zelenthal had no intention of chasing the Demon King from the start. What he wanted to do was to deal with these terrifying undead summoned by magic.

Even if they were allowed to exist for a minute longer, countless living beings might die.

Chen Deng had just escaped from Rose City. He reversed the seal with both hands and said, “Disappear.”

At this moment, in Rose City, the dead were furious for a long time. They finally smelled the scent of a living person and were actually forced to return.

Obviously, Chen Deng had also felt Zelenthal’s will just now. Although he was the Demon King, he was also Chen Deng. He was a living person, not a beast. It was not in his character to watch the entire City of Rose die because of this.

Forcefully removing a spell would result in a backlash, which could be seen from the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He endured his injuries and quickly headed toward the Magical Beast Forest.

With his speed, it only took him a short time to reach the Magical Beast Forest. Although he had successfully rescued the two women this time, he was not in a good mood.

First of all, his previous plan had failed, mainly because he did not expect an accident to happen when he refined his puppet.

The distance was too far, and the time taken was too long. That was why such a thing happened.

However, it was also good that they had shifted their attention to the Healer. It was quite beneficial to him.

At this moment, Bandra sniffed and came near Chen Deng, “Young Master, you should be nearby. I can smell you.”

Serena couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she saw his funny look.

“Is this person a dog? It’s so strange!”

Chen Deng laughed, “This is Bandra. Let me introduce him to you.”

He immediately removed the shadow, and the three figures appeared in front of Bandra.

Bandra frowned when he saw the two women. Molas had told him to watch over the Demon King.

How could there be two more women in the blink of an eye? How was he going to explain this when he went back?

Thinking about how terrifying Molas was, he felt a headache coming on.

His status was clearly higher, but he did not expect that his strength was much weaker than her.

“Bandra greets Young Master. What happened inside? I smell very dense dark magic and the scent of the dead.”

Chen Deng smiled, “It’s nothing serious. I was ambushed.”

“This is the cat girl Serena, my new servant. She has good potential and has the talent of Shadow Stealth. She has the chance to become a commander in the future.”

Serena listened to their conversation and was a little confused. What was a commander? What kind of official position was that? Could it be that this person in front of him was some big shot?

Chen Deng smiled, “This is the Demon Dog Bandra. He’s from the Divine Canine Race, but he’s mutated and is no different from a normal human. He only retained some of the talents of the Divine Canine Race.”

Serena suddenly stared at Bandra, and then at Chen Deng. She asked with a trembling voice, “Master, is the Demon Dog Bandra the particularly famous War Commander of the Demon King’s Army? He was once ranked 15th on the bounty list by the king with a reward of one million gold coins.”

“You, he called you Young Master. Could it be that you are the son of the Demon King? Never heard of it? Could you be the illegitimate son of the Demon King?”

Chen Deng laughed. This girl actually said that he was his son. Chen Deng patted Serena’s head, “Did I never tell you that I’m the Demon King Saar? But now that I’ve just recovered, my name has been changed to Chen Deng.”

Serena was even more shocked. She shouted in fear, “When didn’t you tell me? Oh my god, you’re Demon King Saar? How is this possible?”

“I became the Demon King Saar’s servant. He’s a legendary figure. It’s unbelievable.”

“Wait, Chen Deng, why does this name sound familiar to me? Is Chen Deng the Mage from Sword and Rose?”
