Chapter 929: Getting The Real One To Act
(MC POV)
I didn't want Brendan to feel left out so I gave the suggestion that Brendan be the star of this stage instead.
Also… Judging by the looks on both Cai Hong and Lilith's faces, I'm a bit worried that they might end up a bit overzealous and accidentally hurt each other.
Cai Hong muttered something that I didn't manage to catch but I'm pretty sure she was wishing her big brother Brendan good luck.
Brendan grimaced but eventually lifted his hand to materialise a bottle of Origin Liquid into his hand.
I thought he would use it to summon something or even just pretend to use it as an attack, but what he did was beyond what I was expecting.
"I'll give you this if you join us."
Lilith was just as surprised by Brendan's actions, the demoness taking a moment to see what was in Brendan's hands before suddenly lunging forward to snatch it off his hands.
"Deal! No take backs! Tadah! Lilith has joined your party!!" She squealed, even adding her own sound effects to make it 'official'.
I'm not even sure what she was going to use that vial of Origin Liquid for and frankly, I don't want to know.
Cai Hong puffed her cheeks cutely at her, even going up to hit her a few times with her fists while sulking a little.
Was she upset that Lilith broke her out of her character?
"Ow! Ow! Hey! No! I'm one of your party members now! Stop hitting me!" Lilith protested, storing the bottle in her own storage space.
Brendan sighed and turned to me, obviously awaiting my verdict on how he handled it.
Well, it was definitely unexpected but still quite smart to be honest so I gave him a thumbs up which made him sigh in relief for some reason.
I snapped my fingers again and we're now facing the final heavenly general, who just so happens to be the most enthusiastic volunteer for our little play.
"Kukuku! It's time to meet your end, heroes! I am the last and strongest of the demon lord's heavenly generals! In order to defeat me, you will need to send your strongest to fight me! Otherwise, you will never pass! In fact, I have a very specific defeat condition where I need to be forced on the strongest hero's lap and be spanked for a good hour before I can be defeated!!"
…
Well… I should have known Diao Chan had an ulterior motive for volunteering herself, can't say I am surprised though.
Whatever, if Cai Hong waves her sword in her direction, I will just force the defeat event for Diao Chan and move us to the next area.
Unfortunately, my loli dragon had other ideas as she turned back to look at me while sucking on her finger, "Papa strongest… Help?"
Ugh… If you look at me with such expectant eyes… I can't go against that, you know?
I sighed and stepped forward, ignoring the yelp of glee that I heard coming from Diao Chan who was already presenting a chair for me to sit down on.
I should have let someone else be the last heavenly general instead…
The moment my bottom touched the chair, Diao Chan immediately laid herself on my lap, making sure her bottom was facing away from Cai Hong to at least maintain a little bit of decency, though her wanton face wasn't helping at all.
Without any prompting from me, she had raised her own skirt and started wiggling her bottom tantalisingly, the look on her face practically begging me to get started already.
I gave her bottom a few soft pats, setting the mood and making her anticipate the smack that was to come.
Once I felt she was sufficiently ready, I raised my hand, holding it there for a second before finally smacking her across her bottom cheek with a resounding slap.
Diao Chan only had time to let out the beginning of a lustful moan before she disappeared into thin air, my Witch having been forcefully teleported back to the resort by me.
Yeah, there's no way I'll spend an hour spanking Diao Chan in front of Cai Hong, I'll do that when there's only adults around. I'll still give her some punishment for making me do that later though.
Lilith gave me a wry smile, "Daddy… You're pretty evil yourself, aren't you?"
I ignored her.
Cai Hong ran up and hugged me, "Papa! Strongest! Papa cool!"
So cute~ As long as Cai Hong is happy nothing else matters!
I patted her head, "Now, we have defeated the four Heavenly Generals, it's time for us to defeat the demon lord!"
"Yayyy!"
I moved us to the final room where the demon lord was waiting for us.
"Gufufufu~ Congratulations on reaching me, little heroes~ But it's too late to stop me now~" Sophia chuckled, looking down at us from the throne that I had created for her.
Naturally, who else could play the role of the demon lord except the demon lord herself?
Although when I asked her to play this part, she had told me "For you, Master. I'll gladly become a real demon lord if you asked me to~"
Not sure what to make of that.
Cai Hong stepped in front of us with her sword raised in front of her, "'Dweemon' lord! Cai Hong will beat you! Papa will be hero!"
Eh?
Err… No, Cai Hong, you're supposed to be the hero here, not me…
Oh, wait, did she think we were reenacting my journey to fight the demon lord all this while? Ah… I think she does…
Sophia barely battered an eye at Cai Hong's proclamation, levitating herself up into the air while summoning balls of fire around her.
"Gufufufu~ You have already failed, little heroes! While you were busy defeating my heavenly generals, I have grown strong enough to defeat all of you by myself now! Taste despair!"
She lifted her hand into the air and the balls of fire converged above her, transforming into a giant fireball that burned off the roof of the castle.
Err… Wait… This was not part of the script… Is this what she meant by becoming a real demon lord?
Before Sophia could throw the fireball however, Cai Hong slashed out her sword once more, sending forth an airblade at the fireball.
The airblade cut the fireball in half and it winked out of existence instantly, as though it was never there to begin with.
That should be the 'never miss' function of the sword as the attack had cut through the magic holding the fireball together, causing it to dissipate like that.
"No! I will not be defeated! Not after coming so far!" Sophia roared, summoning another giant fireball.
Is she really trying to become a genuine demon lord? Oh wait. That's not the case… She's actually just enjoying playing the role of the demon lord right now. Who knew?
Cai Hong started running towards Sophia, who was intentionally holding the fireball in the air while waiting for the little dragon to waddle her way towards her.
My loli dragon slashed her sword downwards and Sophia took a step back dramatically, her fireball disappearing by itself.
"No… This cannot be! After all this, I still can't win…" Sophia gasped, pretending to be hurt.
She then fell to her knees and turned to me, her hand reaching out in my direction, "Forgive me, my love. It was not meant to be. I only wished I was not born as your sister so that I could be your lover instead…"
Why the hell are you changing the narrative on your own, Sophia?! This is not a romance drama!
She then fell on her back with a satisfied smile on her face. I think she's expecting me to go confront her about it or something so she can get me into bed again…
Cai Hong ignored her and rushed to hug me, "Yayyy! Cai Hong win! Papa hero!"
She really thought this was a reenactment of my hero's journey huh? Oh well… At least she had fun…
Right as I was thinking whether I should hold a victory parade for my little dragon, a rumble echoed from in front of me and I looked down at the source of the noise.
"Muuu… Papa… Cai Hong hungry…" Cai Hong muttered, sucking on her finger.
Ah… I guess it's time for dinner then.
