Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 661 Waiting

A few months have passed since the missing student incident, and most of the parents of the missing students have already accepted the fact that their children wouldn’t come home. Then some of the families couldn’t handle the loss and it had disastrous effects on them. Some parents had committed s*icide. Other parents blamed one another and were divorced, while the others simply drowned their sorrows in varying levels of depravity.

Elena’s parents were in a much better state than the others since Erste was there to comfort them. Elena’s parents had continued their life like normal hoping for the day their daughter would return to them. There was also Erste who also did not give up on the search like the police, but this time his way of searching was not self-destructive.

Erste knew that the people who went missing over the years were all in a group it was usually a group of young people below thirty. So Erste no longer did things by himself and joined numerous groups and became rather sociable. The people around him thought that this change was because of losing Elena which in a way is true.

Erste’s image became positive and he was no longer seen as a horrible frightening individual. Still, sometimes when some students see the now very active Erste they couldn’t help but tear up.

“He must be doing all this to distract himself from the pain.”

“I think he’s living and experiencing things for the two of them.”

“I don’t know why, but I think what he’s doing is quite romantic.”

“Now that you guys are saying it, I can no longer see him smiling, all I can see is a sad boy running away from his own pain.” 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂

There were many such voices talking behind Erste’s back but it didn’t matter as Erste’s hearing was excellent and he could hear every word those people were saying.

…

The days continued and Erste eventually turned into a third year, for some reason after Elena’s group no one else inexplicably disappeared. It was weird as normally every year or less some poor group goes missing, this has been happening for a very long time now and no one can remember when it started, but now it felt like it was over.

To many people knowing the sudden disappearances had stopped was good news something worth celebrating, but to Erste, it was not. If the disappearances stopped that means whoever took Elena was no longer taking other people, and that would make Erste’s plan come to naught.

Still, despite all of that Erste continued to believe that he would one day meet Elena again so he continued to do his own thing and stick with varying groups of people.

‘I’m sure that Elena is becoming a problem for the one who took her.’

…

Erste who suddenly became sociable also became rather popular with the ladies. Erste was already popular before due to his handsome looks and physique, but many girls were afraid of him because of many rumors of Erste’s vicious nature, there was also the fact that those brave enough to try to get close to him were blocked by Elena.

Now that Elena’s gone and Erste became more sociable many girls had approached him and confessed to him, and right now Erste was being confessed to. The girl who was supposedly confessing to him was a rather famous individual from another school, she was the boss of a girl gang.

This person was Nikki a beautiful tall lady with long brown hair tied into a ponytail, she had a fierce look on her face that made her blue eyes have this sparkle in them. Not only was she beautiful but as the boss of a girl gang she was a powerful fighter. She came all the way to Erste’s school because of his strength.

“Hey they say you’re a powerful guy, how about you fight me?”

“Huh?”

Erste who met with Nikki after reading the note she gave him was confused, based on what was written in the letter this should’ve been a love confession but now it turns out she wanted to fight. Erste then looked at the group of girls standing behind Nikki.

Erste had made a mistake and thought since it was a girl that gave him the note it was a love letter, turns out it was the other kind he kept on receiving a challenge letter. Over the years even back in middle school, many supposed tough guys from different places have come to challenge Erste after hearing all of the rumors about him. So aside from love confessions, Erste also received a lot of requests for duels, of course, Erste never rejected such things and defeated everyone that came his way.

“I see, alright then come.”

The moment Erste spoke those words Nikki quickly dashed towards him. Erste evaded Nikki’s fist, and then she quickly shifted her center of gravity and did a roundhouse kick which Erste easily avoided. Erste kicked Nikki’s leg which was supporting her while she did her roundhouse kick. Nikki was knocked unbalanced and before she could get her balance back Erste’s fist was already near her face, but before it hit her Erste’s fist stopped.

Nikki’s gang who was watching the fight truly believed that their fierce leader would win, but after watching the entire thing they were quite shocked. Nikki was only able to do two moves which were easily avoided and Erste was able to counter leisurely.

“So did I win?”

Nikki who was still dazed looked at Erste for a few seconds and smiled at him. The smile on her face was like a blooming flower full of intoxicating beauty, coupled with her rather wild demeanor Nikki was like a rose full of thorns. Nikki didn’t respond and simply continued to attack, Erste once again evaded each attack she made and countered whenever possible. After a few more rounds Nikki who was not able to hit Erste a single time had a look of satisfaction on her face.

“You really are as strong as the rumors say, no you were stronger than that. Now that I know how strong you are. Erste become my man!”
