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

Max and Ravenna walked for close to two hours straight but didn't find anyone or anything. However, they didn't lose hope, as it was normal for them not to find anything anyway.

"Huh!?" Suddenly, Max exclaimed in surprise.

Ravenna asked, tilting her head. "What happened, Max?"

Max looked at Ravenna, beautiful yet cute face, and said with a big smile on his face. "We have finally found it."

Max had his skill "Enhanced Senses" always on so that he could be safe from any incoming ambush and be prepared beforehand if he found someone.

At this moment, he found the only thing he had been searching for these past few weeks.

He has finally found humans!

Fifty meters ahead of them was a two-hundred-meter-long cement bridge that was currently, what Max could say, occupied by bandits.

[ Ding ]

[ Detected that the host has finally found humans. The humans are bandits that have currently killed a merchant's carriage. ]

[ Task - Kill The Bandits

Synopsis: This is not a heroic or moral act. As the demon emperor, how could he not kill a single human? Go! Wash your hands with human blood to fully announce the start of your journey.

Reward: Bronze Level Lucky Spin - 10

Punishment: (1) Avoid Conflict - No more tasks in the future

(2) Fail to complete - Killed by the hands of bandits ]

Max wasn't afraid of such a task; instead, it felt very normal to him. But the synopsis was a bit weird.

He looked at Ravenna and whispered softly. "Ravenna, we have finally encountered humans, and a group of bandits at that, the vilest of them all. We will bathe in the blood of humans to announce the start of my grand journey."

"OHH!" Ravenna didn't know why, but for her, that sounded so awesome. She said it with excitement. "Max, can I kill too? I will show my special ability today."

Max became a bit stumped hearing that. These past few weeks, he asked what her special ability was, as he could guess all the demons with high-ranking bloodlines to have one, and he was right; Ravenna had one, but she was reluctant to show it or some reason.

Ravenna told him she would only show it at a special time.

'She just wanted to show off in front of me.' Max thought while black lines appeared on his face.

"Anyway, let's go, or we might miss them," Max said as he ran forward, and Ravenna followed behind him.

…

On the bridge were twenty-four men who had leather armor and various kinds of weapons in their hands.

However, one of them was a bit different than the others, and this one was the leader of the bandits.

He had messy hair and a deep cut on his right eye that made him only see with his left eye. He had silver armor that protected the vital parts of his body and much more too. A broad sword was hanging behind his back that had no sheath.

His name was Galanar, also known as the Rogue Slasher in the area.

Galanar sat on a box and looked at the man in front of him. "How much did we get?"

"Sir, this was a clothes merchant. He left without any kind of money in his pocket; we only found a bunch of clothes in various sizes." The man reported.

"Tsk," Galanar looked at the bridge that was littered with the corpses and blood of the merchant and the adventure team that had been hired. "I guess we will have to leave empty-handed."

Galanar was about to stand up when suddenly a scream pierced his ears. He looked ahead, along with his other members, and saw a headless man dropping on the ground.

Just after the man dropped in front of everyone, a small demon appeared that had a katana that was bigger than it. Beside it was a demon girl, who was looking at them curiously.

"Kill them!" Galanar didn't say anything and gave a direct killing order.

He knew that many high-ranking demons would be born from time to time, and their strength just after birth was something beyond human expectation.

Max looked at the bandits that were rushing at him wearing leather cuirasses. 'Let's try the technique now.'

Max decided to see the purple thunder and fire's ability. However, he just raised his hand and immediately halted. Because Ravenna has rushed forward and swiped her hands up in the air.

Max was skeptical of her behavior, but what he saw next made his eyes widen.

From the blood on the ground, four spikes rose up, made of blood, that went through four bandits' chins and killed them instantly.

This not only shocked Max but even the bandits too. They halted their sprint and looked at Ravenna with horror.

Ravenna, on the other hand, didn't seem to get fazed. Her face was writhing with excitement. There were only two thoughts going through her mind.

To impress Max more and kill more to quench her fun.

"Don't get scared! Kill them quickly!" Galanar rushed forward to support them, as he felt he might have stumbled into high-ranking demons.

'She is working hard; let me do some too.' Max thought with a smile.

Step.

Max ran past Ravenna, headed toward the bandits. Max coated his katana with purple fire that burned wildly.

The bandit in front of Max swung his sword, and Max followed along.

Bang

The bandit's eyes widened in surprise as he saw his body flying away.

Max also backed away, getting affected by the explosion too. But he didn't get discouraged; instead, he was satisfied with what he had done.

He could handle that recoil later on when he would gain a substantial amount of strength later on.

Max said this to Ravenna, who was killing the bandits like it was nothing. "Ravenna, let yourself all out. I want to see what you gained."

Ravenna shouted back with her cute voice. "Yes, Max!"
