Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

What kind of magic is this?

Why could the Evil Dragon pull such a hideous and terrifying creature from its forehead? Is it a demon? Or an evil spirit that escaped from hell?

It's hard to determine.

The Evil Dragon, in the Abyss, is a demon.

On the hellish side, it's the Grim Reaper.

It would make sense to seal some bizarre things within one's own mind, but given the Evil Dragon's nature, it probably wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

The blood-red, towering creature howled as the Evil Dragon threw it not far in front of itself.

Seeing this, the Dragon Cub instinctively ran behind the Evil Dragon—this horrifying, hideous monster looked difficult to deal with, its body mist-like, somewhat resembling an evil spirit...

The freed Evil Spirit Demon floated around in the void, then spewed a blood-red mist towards Lance.

Lance raised his hand, and a spinning golden halo appeared in front of him; the moment the blood-red mist touched the golden halo, it instantly vanished.

Seeing this, the Evil Spirit Demon turned to flee.

"Demon Slaying Sword Array."

Four golden longswords appeared out of thin air, transforming into four beams of sword light, piercing through the limbs of the Evil Spirit Demon, pinning it in the void.

The Evil Spirit Demon was too fierce; without thunderous measures to intimidate it, it likely wouldn't obey his commands and obediently serve as a sparring partner for the Dragon Cub.

The Evil Spirit Demon, pinned in the void by the four beams of light swords, roared, attempting to break free, but no matter how many times she tried, she couldn't free her limbs from the four golden light swords.

What kind of technique is this?

She was in soul form; normally, without a weapon specifically tailored to her traits, it's impossible to kill, imprison, or even touch her without causing harm.

Unless it was a mighty weapon imbued with the Power of Light or an array, it might be possible to harm her.

But now, she was pinned in the void by four golden light swords that appeared out of nowhere; she could feel that the light swords bore no Power of Light.

The four golden light swords also didn't have a physical form; in her perception, the swords were illusory, yet in her sight, they tangibly existed.

Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor...

Could it be that the one who extracted her from the body of the human girl... wasn't some Great Demon?

But rather the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor referred to by the human girl?

No, no, no...

The aura doesn't match.

Lance gestured to the Evil Spirit Demon pinned in the void, and the demon, who had her back to him, instantly turned around to face him.

???!!!

This guy's appearance, how come he looks exactly like the demon named Lance who renounced the Abyss?

Only this guy is human.

While the demon who renounced the Abyss is Dragonborn.

"Are you the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?"

Unable to break free, but since the four golden light swords weren't continuing to harm her, the Evil Spirit Demon simply gave up struggling. If this guy wanted to kill her, she simply wouldn't be able to escape.

"Um, you can call me that."

"Have you... ever been to the Abyss?"

Lance shook his head, "No, but I've encountered demons in the Human World. Recently, Abyssal Demons have been frequently appearing in the Human World. Is there a problem in the Abyss, or do you... from the Abyss want to invade the Human World?"

"It's none of your business."

Whoosh—

Another golden light sword appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the chest of the Evil Spirit Demon, revealing pain in her crimson eyes.

"I ask, you answer. Don't try to act tough like the Demon Race in front of me. I'm easygoing, but sometimes... I occasionally can't control the brutal side of myself, suppressing my negative emotions for long without release... it's harmful.

So, sometimes for the sake of my health, I occasionally release some of my negative emotions. I hope you won't become the tool for me to vent."

"Find a demon who broke away from the Abyss, his name is Lance."

"Same as mine." Lance smiled. "What do you want with this demon?"

"Defeat him, or kill him, to become a candidate for the Demon Emperor. Now, in the whole Abyss, every powerful demon takes pride in defeating him to become a candidate for the Demon Emperor. Lucky me, I just arrived in the Human World from the Abyss, and from the human girl I possessed, I got information related to the demon named Lance...

That's you, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, and your existence has already been noted by those in the Abyss. Next... many demons from the Abyss will closely investigate if you are the demon who renounced the Abyss.

If you are... you'll face an onslaught from all the powerful demons in the Abyss, including the Royal Family and the Demon King."

The Evil Spirit Demon told Lance, in one breath, why demons have been frequently appearing in the Human World; this human in front of her is not benevolent.

She didn't dare gamble that he wouldn't dare kill her.

Being able to pin her in the void, he naturally also had the power to kill her.

Alive, she had a chance to become a candidate for the Demon Emperor; if she died here... other powerful demons would only feel there was one less competitor.

A demon who renounced the Abyss?

And also named Lance?

The Dragon Cub inadvertently glanced at Lance, realizing the frequent appearances of Abyssal Demons in the Human World were linked to the Evil Dragon.

Terrifying...

Just a single trip to the Abyss by the Evil Dragon had triggered a disaster that shook the Human World; if he had stayed in the Abyss... what chaos would it be?

Oh.

It seems he already caused chaos in the Abyss.

A battle for the Demon Emperor...

Caused by the Evil Dragon...

Lance was somewhat speechless; he had left the Abyss and come to the Human World, yet the battle for the Demon Emperor of the Abyss... why was it still connected to him?
