Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

"If you are not chasing us, then we will take our leave," Shevli said.

"Sure, sure," Aldred said.

Shevli looked at him skeptically before she turned around and walked away.

Aldred smiled as he looked at their backs. "Interesting. I hope we can meet again."

"What part of her is interesting? Is it her story or her lingerie?" Mareona glared at him.

"What about both? Ouch!"

"Aldred, we have to make haste." Bartrem pointed at other treasure hunters that approached the giant golden egg.

"Alright."

They all rushed towards the center where the golden egg stood. When they were already in front if, Aldred finally realized how huge it was. According to his godly eyes, the golden egg was more than 10 KM tall. That was taller than Mount Everest!

But he could not see through the egg.

"So what do we do now?" Mary asked.

"I don't know," Aldred said.

Suddenly, they heard a noise.

"You fucking traitor! How dare you fuck my wife behind my back!"

STAB!

The man stabbed his neck, and then kicked his body.

A small crack appeared on the golden egg.

They all looked at each other right after that. They knew what this meant. In the first phase, during the Mount Fargon challenge, there was a test to kill every other team to shatter every crystal on the ceiling.

Aldred figured it would be the same thing. And everyone else seemed to think the same.

The atmosphere was tense. Hand getting tighter on the handle of their weapons. They all began to widened their stance and started eyeing their enemies.

Aldred sighed. "This treasure hunter is just so full of bloodbath. Let me make it faster for everyone. RED RAIN!"

Thousands of bloody circle appeared in the sky and fired bright red javelin at the targets below.

One man was struck right in the eye, and his whole head burst.

Another one got hit on the chest, and his heart exploded from the impact. It was carnage!

And then another one got hit by a spear in the leg, and his knee shattered. Blood splattered everywhere.

Aldred shook with excitement. The scene of bloodbath always excite him. He did not know why that was the case.

Mira watched this scene in silent. Two years ago, she would have been shocked to see something like this. But now, she saw it as a natural course of life. She had seen how difficult every test was, and knew that the only way to pass the test was to be ruthless. Being naive would only bring harm, not just to her, but to her friends as well.

Ivette also looked at this scene in silent. Different from Mira, however, she did not mind seeing her enemies die. She was like Aldred in that regard. It might be selfish, but everyone needed to be selfish to survive.

Why wouldn't you be selfish if everyone is selfish anyway?

She had experienced the dark side of the world at an early age, so she got no problem at all with Aldred massacring the enemies.

"AHH!"

"It BURNS!!!"

"What is this power!"

A man got his arm chopped off. He screamed in pain, and was about to escape, but another javelin landed on his back, then pierced through his heart. The man fell to the ground lifelessly.

Everywhere, there were screams of pain and suffering. Those who did not have a defensive treasure immediately torn to shreds. The luckier one got struck by the head, dying painlessly.

Even those who had defensive treasures were constantly in pain. There was fire everywhere, and it cooked their skin. Even magicians forming a barrier around them could still feel the heat. It was like being inside an oven. They were slowly cooked.

After a few minutes, Aldred stopped his spell. He got a slightly weaker because the spell consumed his blood essence to use.

It was a pseudo-legendary skill, and his strongest skill to date. Though he did not want to use it very frequently because of its requirement. He believed there was a way to reduce its consumption and that was to upgrade it to proper legendary skill. He did not know how to do that yet, but he believed he would find something in the future.

Aldred looked around and saw that everyone were injured except his own team and the mysterious trio.

A man stood up, bringing his broken shield down. The once thick shield was now burned and thin as a sheet of paper. If Aldred kept the spell for a few seconds, he would have died.

The man looked to the left and saw that his arm were burned all the way to the shoulder. He was of course astonished by such a powerful ability.

They all looked at Aldred in fear.

"If you all want to live, leave this place immediately. If not then I shall show you no mercy."

"He's bluffing. Look at his pale face. He cannot do anything anymore. Attack him!" A burly man led his group to attack Aldred.

He charged, raising his halberd and slashed at Aldred's neck.

Clang!

The halberd bounced off his neck. The burly man widened his eyes and trembled. He looked at his weapon and then looked at Aldred's neck.

"What is this?"

He attacked again.

Clang!

Like last time, the weapon bounced off his skin.

The burly man could not believe what just happened. "How did you do that?"

"I guess you'll never know." Aldred thrust his sword to the man's heart.

The man gasped in pain. His grip on the halberd weakened, and it fell, clanging, on the ground.

"So who's next?" Aldred looked around.

Everyone was silent.

"I will give you to the count of 3 to leave. One."

A lot of them began to leave immediately.

"Two!"

They shook their heads and left.

"Three!"

Everyone left.

Everyone except for three.

"So here we are," Aldred said. "Are you going to fight me properly this time?"

Shevli frowned. "If you are not chasing us, stay away from this golden egg."

"That's not how the world works, honey. We have to fight for the things we want. It just happens that I also want this golden egg."

"I willing to fight for it, but do you?"

Shevli gritted her teeth. She had seen his power before. He could make clones as powerful as his original body, and that bloody sword… it was too powerful for her to fight. If she wanted to win, she had to use a lot of cards.

She sighed. "We will take our leave."

Aldred laughed. "Suit yourself."

The three of them walked away.

"Alright." Aldred looked at the golden egg which already had a lot of cracks.

When the tree of them leaped off the platform, the shell of the golden egg shattered.

Blinding light burst forth which even his godly eyes could not see through. It was so bright that even Aldred had to close his eyes.

The light vanished, and they began to open their eyes again.

Aldred looked at the center. There was someone there, but his vision was still slightly blinded.

A few seconds later, the image got clearer, and Aldred widened his eyes at what he saw.

"Dad…?"

Everyone gasped.

"DAD?"
