The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 64 - NEW BEGINNING
700 Years ago, the war between the first and seventh Demon King happened again. The fight was on the border between the demon realm and the human realm. As a result, the land that was there split apart and the earth released its hot liquid that burned the entire border forest.
Not a single human was killed in that incident because the seventh Demon King had moved their battle arena to a place far from where the humans lived. However, something bad must befall a healer who is trying to stop their big fight.
With just a sword puncture wound on his right chest, his body instantly fell to the ground with blood ceaselessly flowing out from within his body. That, of course, made the seventh Demon King feel very angry towards the first Demon King who had killed him. And again, he had to lose his closest person remembering, only this healer was a human who would care about him and always reminded him of his younger brother.
The battle took place over seven days to destroy everything there was. However, in the end the fight was still won by the seventh Demon King who had an heirloom sword made from his own crystal.
However, even though he won his fight, he could not save the healer's life in time. To revive him, he was forced to break his own crystal heart and insert the fragment into the body of the physician.
Although weak, he could at least get his life back even until now he still occupied a hill that became his own birthplace and the birthplace of the seventh Demon King.

Taoyuan City.
”You've heard of a Demon King who resembles a human? He said there were already so many people affected by the human-like look in his eyes. Then, when the demon brought his prey to a deserted place, he would instantly eat his heart and leave his corpse there.” whispered some of the townspeople.
”Yes, I've heard of it too. He said he could change his form into a five-year-old boy. The devil always falls asleep wherever he is but, he is more often near the cemetery.”
”He influenced anyone who visited the cemetery and made him think that the devil was one of his family who had died. Previously, there had been casualties from the city next door but, no one wanted to believe this imaginary story.”
”Gruesome! His story has just made me shiver. Why does no one believe? I may never bring a child into my home again!”
”Free! I heard there haven't been any survivors. They all couldn't stand her magic charm so sharp! You won't be able to tell which son of man and demon. Every time you look into his eyes, your body will not be able to move and the demon brought home by you will instantly eat your heart.”
”Oh, yes! It seems I know who the Devil can turn into a child. You guys ever heard of Xieyu hill? I heard that the hill was filled with very dangerous magic animals and even the village that was at the foot of the hill, was destroyed into ravages after they were attacked by herds of magic animals.”

Yi Hill, Taoyuan city.
A young man with black hair and a ponytail came to a sturdy tree that was between the cemetery. He placed a plate of takhulu and some flowers in front of the tree while holding his hands together.
”Xianyi, how are you doing in nature? I hope you can calm down. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. What about our son, Xun'er? Did he grow up to be an amazing man? I really wanted to see his face when he was an adult. You wait until I catch up with you.”
After he finished praying, the young man stood up again still facing the large tree in front of him. Then, as he was about to leave the place, his gaze was immediately fixed on a white cloth that was between the long grass. It was like someone was lying there. However, strangely this body was so small.
The young man walked over and watched her for a while. Shortly after, a little boy's head with white hair appeared and made his curiosity grow bigger. He decided to take the object and he was very surprised to realize that this object was a boy who was only five years old!
”Could this be a miracle?! Xun 'er? My son?” asked the young man who looked very surprised and thought that the boy was his son. However, he did not know that the one above his two hands right now was a very extraordinary threat.
He was the seventh Demon King, the slacker, Shin Yixuan!
At the same time, Huang Luo was sitting opposite Guju when the two were inside the Xieyu hill log house. By drinking a glass of tea that was always provided on the table, Guju began to feel strange about the circumstances that occurred in his home.
”Where does His Majesty go?” guju asked while staring around.
After gulping down his drink, Huang Luo was silent for a while before replying, ”I kicked him out. He had to get some fresh air and not continue to be on top of his bed. But, I did not expect that he would not return for three days.” he replied calmly.
”Ohh, I see.” said Guju with an expression that seemed ordinary as if never worried about anything. ”... I'm sure His Majesty is fine.”
