Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son
Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son - Chapter 9: Bye Timouy

Just before the men could get their hands on his mother, a powerful force burst forth from her forehead, and then the whole village was flattened. Aldred for a flash of a moment saw a powerful hammering force that slammed into the people and the town. Yet there was no sound, there was no wreckage.

There were no scraps, broken woods, or cracked stone. The whole land was flattened. Boom. Disappeared just like that into a smooth ground. Just what kind of magic was that? Aldred wondered. And his mother controlled her magic so perfectly that the old man's home wasn't destroyed.

In the distance, the old man was in shock because everyone's house except him was destroyed. Even the Baron's castle was destroyed. This wasn't something that could be taken lightly, but he was just a powerless old man, so he entered his home and hide.

Aldred was reminded that his parents weren't normal humans, but literal demon king and demon queen. God knows how many lives they had taken before his father put sperms inside his mother's belly.

Other humans seeing this might think his mother was cruel to destroy the whole village, but at least the old man was saved.

Aldred saw her mother had a scary serious expression. It was the first time he ever saw her show that face even after four year, but then she smiled at him and picked him up.

Hujarar coughed. "You said no violence."

"That's not violent. That's self-defense."

Hujarar scratched his head. "We should return to the castle."

Aldred nodded frantically. He didn't want to see any human settlement being destroyed just because his parents got mad.

The town of Timouy deserved it though. It was so obvious that his mother wasn't a virgin anymore. She literally had a man and a baby walking side by side with her. This town was filled with perverted people.

Eve lifted Aldred into her embrace and said to him; "In the future, you should also learn to stand up for yourself. Don't let others push you around, okay?"

Aldred nodded.

Hujarar approached him with a smile and caressed his head. "Let's go."

The three of them flashed with bright light and disappeared.

…

A squad of fifteen soldiers on horses arrived at Timouy and were confused.

"The map says the town is right here," a knight leading the fourteen squires said. Just like many kingdoms, the squires were fully trained twenty years old men that were trained meticulously. All of them desired to be a knight, but they had to prove their worth first.

"Sir, I think this is the correct place. Look, there's a lot of farms there."

The knight scratched his mustache. "But where is the town?"

None of them could answer that question. The knight was also very confused before he noticed a small shed in the distance. He led his squad of cavalry to approach the small wooden shed.

The knight pointed to a random squire. "Go check who's inside."

The young man nodded and quickly got down from his horse. He walked to the door and kicked it open.

The young man saw an old man with a shocked expression sitting beside a bed with a small child. "It's just an old man, sir."

The knight dismounted from his horse and entered the small shed.

The old man trembled when he saw the thick and large armor that covered the man. 'This is a knight… a knight is someone one step away from becoming a noble. I must not offend this person.'

"Respected sir, how can I help you?" The old man weakly said.

"What happened here? Where is the town?"

The old man hesitated. "I don't know, sir. I suddenly saw the whole town disappear except me, so I decided to stay inside my home."

The knight snorted. "You call this a home?"

He looked around in disgust. He set his gaze at the sleeping child on the bed. "His face doesn't look so good."

"My grandchild is currently very sick, sir."

"Where are the parents?"

"They left years ago. Said they don't want the kids and left him to me."

The knight spit at the ground. "Typical commoner." The knight circled the bed and saw something shining under the kid's hand. "What is that?"

The knight approached and was about to lift the child's hand before the old man blocked his way and respectfully said. "He is very sick, sir. I don't want you to have his sickness."

The knight pushed him out the way, throwing the old man to the floor. He lifted the child's hand and saw a deep dark, glowing crystal.

The knight's eyes lit up. "How is this possible? This is the legendary Eternal mana crystal."

He grabbed the crystal and suddenly the child's countenance became worse.

The old man stood up and pleaded: "Please wait, sir. My grandchild needs that crystal, but I promise you, after he healed, you can take the crystal."

The knight kicked the man away. "You dare hide this crystal from me? You deserve to die!"

The knight turned to the child. "This kid is going to die anyway. There is no use in keeping him alive in this world." He pulled out his sword from his waist and stabbed the child's stomach.

The child jolted awake, eyes open wide staring at the man with blood in his hand. He was shocked. Just now he was feeling better and stronger, in fact, he felt he could stand up again and help his grandfather in tending the farm. He had always been feeling guilty for being a burden to him. He wished he would just die many times so as to not burden him anymore, but he couldn't even kill himself. Yet now, someone did him a favor. He smiled one last time, tears streaking on his cheek. Weakly, he closed his eyes once again. His breathing stopped.

"NO!" The man rushed to the bed, but the knight kicked him again. The old man crashed to the ground.

The old man cried. "He's the only family I have. My son and daughter left me, and so does my wife. You evil! You killed my grandchild!"

The knight clicked his tongue. "Go kill him."

The squire exchanged glances and hesitated. The knight stared at them. "Are you disobeying my order?"

"We will obey, sir!"

The knight nodded as he exited the shed. The old man screamed in pain as swords tore through his flesh.

The knight didn't care about that and raised the crystal to meet the sunlight. He felt unlimited power within it. "Hahaha. With this thing, I'll surely become a duke in no time."
