163: This is not the ending the Demon King should have.

The Witch Bone Demon King has grown stronger.

Although he has become very powerful, you don't know if he has broken the S-rank limit.

However, the Witch Bone Demon King himself knows.

He did not advance to S-rank.

This is only a B-rank continent; for him to surpass the B-rank limit and reach A-rank through his demonic gift is already a rare demonic talent.

However, even though the Witch Bone Demon King did not become an S-rank Demon King, he is already close to the limit above A-rank.

The Witch Bone Demon King was originally a prince of the Audriton Kingdom; his real name was Ryder Audriton!

However, he was not a favored prince before; instead, he was a loser who attempted something similar to the Xuanwu Gate Incident but failed.

His thirst for power and hatred for revenge earned him the appreciation of the Abyssal Demon Realm, so he merged with the Demon King's position and became the Demon King of this world.

The talent he received was S-rank Demon King Assimilation!

He could assimilate transcendent beings and gain all their power.

So he first destroyed the Three Great Kingdoms.

He reached the limit of B-rank.

After that, he secretly controlled and assimilated the high-ranking officials of the other two countries.

With this, he broke the boundary between A-rank and B-rank.

He became an exceptional Demon King.

Finally, to thoroughly deal with his fated enemy, the Hero, he even assimilated the Hero.

He made many arrangements.

Leaving two surviving nations was, on one hand, out of fear that if the continent fell, the Hero dispatched by the Goddess might exceed his capabilities, leading to uncontrollable factors.

On the other hand, he wanted to torment those 'relatives' who had caused him to lose everything, making them live in his shadow, using his former identity as a human.

Afterward, once the Demon King was fully prepared, he pleaded with the completely unsuspecting followers of the Goddess of Holy Light to summon the Hero.

To test the Hero's depth, they planned an ambush to attack the Hero.

The original plan was to ascertain the Hero's strength and trump cards to make adjustments for the subsequent plan.

However, what the Witch Bone Demon King did not expect was that this Hero was not only powerful but also acted unconventionally.

He actually dared to lay hands on the kingdom's prince and princess!

This was a miscalculation by the Demon King.

It was also the beginning of his failure.

He originally thought that his talent and strength were enough to sweep away any Hero below S-rank.

Yet, he was suppressed by a B-rank Hero who punched above his weight, and he was about to die!

Yes, the Witch Bone Demon King felt he was about to die!

He pushed his strength to the extreme.

He possessed myriad martial arts and magic.

This was the power the Witch Bone Demon King acquired by hunting down and assimilating the top combat forces of the Five Kingdoms.

Even historical hero units who had died, the Witch Bone Demon King could turn them into undead and then assimilate them.

Just like the Headless Knight King, Corrupt Baron, Bone Dragon General, and even the Skeleton Necromancer Archmage among the Four Heavenly Kings!

Among these four, there were even previous generations of Demon Kings and Heroes who had died in this world!

All were undead-ified and summoned by the Witch Bone Demon King.

Originally, the Witch Bone Demon King did not intend to assimilate his Four Heavenly Kings so quickly; if he had also upgraded them to A-rank, or even S-rank, then when the Witch Bone Demon King assimilated and merged with them, he would become unimaginably powerful!

However, even though he assimilated them ahead of schedule.

But the Hero before him was simply too strong.

In a martial arts contest, this Hero was proficient in all techniques, his martial arts reaching a profound level.

The Witch Bone Demon King only stalemated with you for about three hundred moves before falling into a disadvantage again.

Then came the powerful magic attacks, which this Hero endured completely unharmed.

From the very beginning, the Witch Bone Demon King felt very strange.

Why was this Hero seemingly immune to injury?

But, as he was ravaged like a sandbag by this Hero.

The Witch Bone Demon King knew that his life was probably at its end.

He might die today.

Although he was once a failed contender for the throne, his life as the Witch Bone Demon King was glorious!

He even largely completed the glorious achievement of subjugating the Five Kingdoms during his time as Demon King.

As a Demon King, although he did not reach the pinnacle, he had no regrets!

The Demon King, stunned in mid-air, saw his life flash before his eyes.

Finally, he peacefully closed his eyes without resistance; he, the Witch Bone Demon King, was waiting to die!

But, the annihilation of death ultimately did not arrive.

The Witch Bone Demon King opened his eyes in confusion, looking at the Hero who was stepping on him.

His demonic eyes were filled with bewilderment and doubt.

They seemed to carry a question, as if asking why he hadn't been killed.

Your rage dissipated, and your emotions stabilized; you were somewhat speechless.

These Demon Kings aren't very capable!

The previous Rotten Tree Demon King surrendered in one move.

This Witch Bone Demon King, at the very end, was actually seeking death!??

No one would believe it if you told them.

What Demon King would seek death!

Finally, you cast a subjugation-type magic, a control spell, which you specifically learned on the Continent of Heroes in preparation for subduing Demon Kings in the future.

You originally thought it would only be useful after mastering it, but you needed to use it as soon as you landed on this continent.

Fortunately, the Witch Bone Demon King had already lost his fighting spirit and was intent on dying.

He was controlled by you without any resistance.

Otherwise, for your novice magic to control an A-rank Demon King would be unthinkable.

But reality was so decisive; the first time you formally used the control magic, you controlled the Witch Bone Demon King.

Even the Witch Bone Demon King only realized he had been enslaved after being controlled.

But, he wasn't dead!

The Witch Bone Demon King was deeply saddened and grieved by the fact that he was not dead!

If he had died at this moment, his history would have been a peak showdown between a Demon King and a Hero, ending in regrettable defeat.

But since he didn't die, the subsequent life of enslavement might become a blemish on his entire existence!

As a Demon King born from a craving for power, he did not want to accept such an outcome!

But he did not expect that the final outcome of his life would be even more tragic than he had imagined...
