Chapter 118: Defending A Demon
’’Looks like the Demon Queen will get a new pet,’’ an elegant woman’s voice rang out.
Leo turned toward the figure that appeared with a smirk as she continued, ’’She wouldn’t listen to me. Force wouldn’t change a thing, but if we can turn the humans against you, that will isolate you.’’
She was six feet tall, curvy, and had midnight black hair that was tied into a messy bun. Leo thought she was beautiful, but something was off about her. He chuckled at her words, the sound low and amused, but his mirth didn’t last long.
Before she could say another word, he surged forward with explosive speed, his fist arcing toward the newcomer in a blur. The force of his strike was immense, but it collided with a shimmering red shield that flared to life just in time.
The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, the ground trembling beneath their feet as power crackled in the aftermath. ’’Unfortunately, we’re not fighting, handsome,’’ the Demon woman commented in an amused voice. ’’I’m here to show you how the humans will come to hate you.’’
She waved her hand and a mana screen appeared of him slaughtering the Demon soldiers, but in the video, it showed them as humans. Leo was confused, but the woman concluded, ’’Now, if you want to be free, come to the Demon Capital and submit to my empress and she’ll accept you.’’
When Leo heard this, his eyes narrowed, and a sly grin spread across his face. ’’I’ll make your queen my woman, and you too, once I capture you,’’ he retorted, his voice brimming with arrogance.
Without hesitation, he surged forward, his speed blurring him into motion. Summoning all his power, he unleashed his Supernova Punch against the demon woman’s shield. The impact was ferocious; the force radiating heat and energy as the barrier visibly cracked under the pressure.
Her confident demeanor faltered, a flicker of worry crossing her face as she realized the shield might not hold much longer. Leo kept attacking the shield, but the Demon woman quickly cast a spell and vanished.
While this was happening, a portal opened only to have the Silent Watchers pour out alongside Yvanna, who was ready to strike. He noticed their eyes were glowing red, causing him to glance at the Demon.
’’Unfortunately for you, I marked them many days ago,’’ she revealed, her voice laced with dark amusement as her form faded, dissolving into the air like smoke. Her parting words hung ominously in the silence. ’’Good luck.’’
Leo’s eyes narrowed as she vanished completely, leaving him staring into the void where she once stood. Suddenly, a blinding beam of light erupted from the ground, shooting skyward before fracturing into countless streams that raced across the horizon in all directions.
The radiant tendrils traveled far and wide, touching every village, town, and city throughout the empire, a harbinger of what was to come. They showed the brutal attack on the fortress, which shocked everyone.

Emperor Dorian felt the sting of betrayal the most. He had placed his trust in Leo, only to have the young man turn against him. Outraged, he commanded the empire’s powerhouses to capture and bring him back to the palace for interrogation.
Whispers spread like wildfire among the people, the consensus painting Leo as an ally of the Demons. As panic rippled across the empire, Leo’s harem found themselves caught in the turmoil.
Confusion reigned among them, with Roxy leading the charge in defending Leo. However, her unwavering loyalty cost her imprisonment alongside Bella, Luna, and Agatha for siding with him.
Meanwhile, Helena and Octavia sought an audience with Dorian, pleading with him to see reason. They argued that the Demon’s words were nothing more than a cunning lie designed to sow discord, but the Emperor, consumed by anger and mistrust, refused to listen.
His steely resolve only deepened the rift, leaving the women to grapple with a dire situation that threatened to spiral further out of control. Helena confronted him in the great hall after receiving the Elven Empire’s dignitaries.
’’Dorian! Something’s not right about this. I’m telling you now Leo did nothing wrong,’’ the older woman declared.
She watched her husband’s eyes narrow in suspicion. ’’Why are you defending a Demon lover wife? Is there something I don’t know?’’
When Helena heard this, she internally panicked, ’Does he know about the affair?’’
’’What nonsense are you talking about now? I’m defending a young man who has done everything to aid the empire,’’ she quickly explained to change the subject. ’’Why would he wipe out a border fortress without a reason? There’s more to this than meets the eye.’’
Dorian ignored her as three people entered the hall. Helena turned around, only to have her eyes open wide. The two men and one woman were the Duskwood’s Demi-Gods who fight stronger enemies.
They knelt in respect as the biggest man spoke. ’’Do you want us to bring the boy back to the palace?’’
’’Yes, make sure he understands what happens when you betray the empire,’’ Dorian announced before continuing, ’’Leo Anderson is now an enemy to us and shall be given all the hospitality that a traitor deserves.’’
Helena trembled when seeing her husband’s eyes gleam with a wickedness that scared her. She turned around and left the hall to find her daughters. Ten minutes later, she found Agatha, who was locked away in her room with two guards, standing outside.
The older woman quickly wrapped healing mana around her fists before attacking the soldiers and knocking them out with two solid punches they didn’t see coming from the friendly empress.
She stepped inside the room and when Agatha saw her mother, she beamed as Helena hugged the blonde tightly before asking, ’’We need to get the girls and get out of here before Father comes for us. I think he suspects something.’’
When the younger brunette heard this, she agreed with a nod before the duo rushed toward Octavia’s room but as they got close, explosions rang out as the blonde, Roxy, Lun, and Bella appeared.
Dust covered the corridor, causing Helena to question, ’’It’s good to see you girls. We were just about to come for you.’’
Roxy stepped forward with wide green eyes. ’’Leo didn’t do what they’re saying. Yes, he’s a playboy, but he isn’t a murderer and has saved the empire loads since being summoned.’’
’’We know, but everyone believes that he’s guilty,’’ Helena said to the younger girls. ’’But for now, we need to get into the domain before getting caught.’’
The tanned girl nodded just as Lirael, Nadia, Tessa, Ava, and Mia appeared, looking scruffy. Roxy opened a portal as the four knights stepped through with the Silent Watchers just as it got cut off.
Helena panicked when seeing this causing her to reveal, ’’The mages have used the teleportation blockers! We need to destroy it.’’
After hearing that, Thalira announced, ’’We will get you there, Empress! We choose to serve Leo and now he’s the enemy of the empire, so are we.’’
The lilac-haired woman slid her helmet into place, its polished surface gleaming ominously in the dim light. As the rhythmic clatter of boots grew louder, a squad of Duskwood soldiers charged toward them, weapons drawn and ready for battle.
Turning her glowing red eyes to Faelina, she issued a commanding order. ’’Deal with them, Fae, and show the Master’s women what we’ve become since meeting him.’’
’’Yes, ma’am!’’ the cat woman responded, her voice sharp with determination.
Without hesitation, she launched herself forward, moving with blinding speed toward the advancing soldiers. Her agility was a spectacle that left onlookers stunned. Helena’s eyes widened as she watched the black-skinned warrior plow through the armored men like a whirlwind.
Each strike was devastating and relentless. Blades clashed and armor crumpled as Faelina unleashed dozens of rapid attacks, her prowess a testament to the training and power that Leo gave her.
The sheer intensity of her assault left both ally and enemy alike awestruck, an unstoppable force in the heat of battle. Following that, the other knights charged, leaving Helena and the girls in shock.
Cassandra parried several attacks while letting a roar before blowing them away with earth magic. Sylvaine chanted something and the surrounding plants came to life, and strangled the soldiers.
Thalira turned around and shouted, ’’Get to the Imperial Mages quarters now!’’
Helena nodded, her composure steady as she took charge, leading the heroes through the labyrinthine halls of the palace. Around them, chaos raged, but the four knights stood as a shield, their incredible power holding back the tide of enemies.
Bella, her adrenaline surging, couldn’t suppress her excitement. With a wild grin, she joined the fray, skillfully taking down several opponents. Beside her, Tessa stepped forward, her fists suddenly igniting with a radiant glow.
The atmosphere shifted as Tessa’s blue eyes gleamed with newfound intensity. She launched into a flurry of devastating combos, each strike ringing out like a thunderclap. The force sent soldiers hurtling through the air, their armor clattering as they crashed to the ground.
Bella and the others froze mid-motion, their astonishment clear on their faces. The redhead turned to Tessa, her voice tinged with disbelief and admiration. ’’Where did that come from, sis?’’
