“If you have confidence, Liyakade, then we will support you. After all, our original goal was to help your ancestor become the Demon King and establish peace between the demon and human races.”
After hearing Liyakade’s gentle yet firm words, Field immediately spoke up, expressing unconditional trust and support for her.
“Now it’s just that the candidate for Demon King has become you, Liyakade. There’s no real difference in essence. Moreover, according to the prophecy, we are destined to face other demons who bear hostility toward humans. This gives us another reason to fight those demons.”
Field’s reasoning was very thorough.
Regardless of whether Liyakade became the Demon King, they would inevitably come into conflict with demons who longed to invade human territory.
It made no difference to them.
“Yeah, Liyakade! I’ll do everything I can to help you too!”
Having understood the situation, Alice nodded solemnly and spoke firmly in support of Liyakade.
This was Alice’s mission—not to fight or exterminate demons, but to maintain peace.
That was the true meaning of Light Element Magic.
“Alice, Field, thank you for supporting me.”
Seeing the two of them so supportive, a warm smile appeared on Liyakade’s small face, and waves of warmth stirred in her heart.
After expressing her gratitude, Liyakade began to lay out substantive plans.
“To obtain the unawakened inheritance, I have to go to the Demon Domain and meet the Great Ancestor in person. I think now is a good opportunity.”
“Now? Isn’t that a bit too hasty? We haven’t made any preparations…”
Upon hearing Liyakade’s proposal, Alice seemed hesitant.
She thought Liyakade was being too eager.
After all, the Demon Domain was demon territory.
The three of them were basically two and a half humans combined, and they knew nothing about the Demon Domain.
Going there unprepared would definitely put them at a disadvantage.
Even Field frowned upon hearing Liyakade’s plan.
This wasn’t because they didn’t want to help and support Liyakade.
It was simply that the Demon Domain was obviously a dangerous place.
They had to ensure their own safety first.
Liyakade could fully understand their hesitation at that moment.
From their perspective, the three of them had no understanding of the Demon Domain’s situation at all.
Even though Liyakade possessed demon bloodline, she had grown up in the Kingdom and had zero knowledge of the Demon Domain.
As for Alice and Field, there was no way they knew anything about it either.
The information about the Demon Domain in textbooks was very general and seemed somewhat outdated.
However, for Liyakade, who had cleared the original game dozens of times, she was more familiar with the terrain of the Demon Domain than she was with the Royal City.
After all, in the later stages of the game, the protagonist party had to operate in the Demon Domain for a long time.
While she might not have explored the Kingdom of Calderra thoroughly, her exploration of the Demon Domain was already very comprehensive.
Therefore, Liyakade was fully confident that she could take Alice and Field through the Demon Domain safely without being discovered by demons.
“Liyakade, I understand you’re anxious, but the Demon Domain is still too dangerous. How about this: after we return to the Royal City, I’ll request my father to send troops to scout the Demon Domain under the pretext of investigating it. Then we’ll enter the Demon Domain. What do you think?”
Field, who held a dissenting opinion, put forward her suggestion to Liyakade.
“I know you’re worried about the Demon Domain, but since I’m saying this, I’m confident I can get you into the Demon Domain safely.”
Liyakade looked at Alice and Field, then spoke.
“The Great Ancestor has already given me a complete map of the Demon Domain. I now know all the terrain and the distribution of demon forces very clearly. I’ve also memorized all the specific locations. So when it comes to entering the Demon Domain, just trust me.”
In reality, Korim hadn’t given Liyakade any so-called map.
Korim usually stayed hidden in her own territory—how could she have a map of the Demon Domain?
The so-called map of the Demon Domain was actually Liyakade’s memories from the original game before she transmigrated.
After finishing about the Demon Domain, Liyakade explained the reason why she wanted to charge into the Demon Domain right now.
“There are mainly two reasons why I want to enter the Demon Domain now to obtain the inheritance.”
As she spoke, Liyakade held up two slender fingers.
“First, we happen to be heading to Alice’s hometown right now. Alice’s hometown is at the Kingdom border, near the Demon Domain. It’s too far from the Royal City to the Demon Domain, and I don’t know when we’ll get another chance. This trip to Alice’s hometown gives us the perfect opportunity to enter the Demon Domain—killing two birds with one stone.”
“Second, according to the Great Ancestor, the Demon King candidate with the strongest hostility toward humans—Minotauros—still has a very long time before his revival. Those demons currently have no unified leader; they’re in a state of being a group without a head. Charging in now is our best chance. If the demons hostile to humans unite later and become a solid block, it will be very difficult for us to enter the Demon Domain.”
Actually, besides these two reasons, there was another one—Alice.
To interact with Alice normally, they either had to rely on the power of Purple Vine Grass or obtain the inheritance.
If they missed this opportunity, after returning to the Royal City, they would lose the supply of Purple Thunder Rib Grass.
And they couldn’t possibly go to Vidar for information; they were planning to track him down and capture him.
If there was a trading network for Purple Thunder Rib Grass in the Royal City, they would definitely have to dismantle it.
Even if Liyakade had a need for it, she couldn’t trade with these people, because these items were harmful to normal humans.
Those people were only doing it for profit.
Moreover, if they asked the Kingdom to send soldiers to scout and draw maps, the efficiency would likely be low.
Korim’s territory was located deep within the Demon Domain, and the Kingdom’s soldiers couldn’t explore that deep.
Also, given their strength, one misstep could cost lives.
That would not only alert the enemy but also result in several lives lost.
Since she herself was more capable of doing it, why let other innocent people risk their lives to pave the way for her?
“I can accept the reasons you’ve given, but… Liyakade, are you sure you understand the Demon Domain’s situation very well?”
Liyakade’s two reasons had already convinced Field, but the most critical point remained: to what extent did Liyakade truly understand the Demon Domain?
