Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

After her wild laughter subsided, Ultimar's expression calmed down, and she finally said coldly, "How could you, a human, possibly know the power of that lord? He is the 'root of all evil,' a person who 'sees through everything in the world,' and he is also the most powerful of the seven great demon kings of Hell. He is none other than Lord Barnil, the 'Duke of Hell,' the leader of the seven great demons."

Roya naturally knew Barnir, the "Duke of Hell" who was the leader of the seven great demons mentioned by Ultima.

The opponent was indeed a demon, and his strength was certainly quite impressive. After all, he was able to withstand several of Aqua's purification spells without being significantly weakened, which alone was enough to demonstrate his strength.

However, the thought of Roya eating him, as mentioned by Ultima earlier, made Roya want to laugh.

Like other demons, Banir's favorite food is human negative emotions, but he will not kill humans. In fact, if he encounters some adventurers in trouble, he might even lend a hand.

This devil's favorite thing to do is probably just to pull some pranks that make people both laugh and cry.

He couldn't help but laugh if the other party was hoping this esteemed person would help them get revenge.

However, the actual situation was not as Roya had imagined.

In reality, Ultimar and Banir were not close at all. Although they both worked in Hell, their relationship was not so close that they would come to each other's aid for revenge.

The reason why Ultima said that is quite simple.

Although we're not familiar with each other, Barnier's fighting strength is definitely the strongest.

Chapter 284 First meeting

Ultima has suffered a setback this time and may have to kneel here. He will definitely say some harsh words and cause some trouble for Roya.

After thinking it over, he thought of his immediate superior, the strongest one, Barnier.

Even if you're not familiar with them, at this point you just need to portray the other person as extremely irritable and cruel, and as someone who would suffer a fate worse than death if caught, and so on.

When the two meet, they will inevitably start fighting.

This was Ultima's entire plan.

However, Ultima may not have known that these plans were doomed to fail from the very beginning.

“Oh, is that so? It seems the other party is quite dangerous.” Roya gave Ultima a meaningful look.

But knowing this is one thing, I'll definitely go and see for myself when I have time, to find out what these so-called Demon King's Seven Executives are all like.

Ultimately, Ultima was destroyed by Roya's spiritual world.

Just as the other party disappeared, more than a dozen notification sounds rang in Luo Ya's ears again.

You have defeated a high-level demon and gained a large amount of experience.

[Your level has increased, granting you five free attribute points and three skill points.]

There were twelve such notification sounds.

In other words, this one high-level demon alone provided Roya with the experience to level up twelve times.

The whole process seemed complicated, but because the other party was pulled into the mental world by Roya, the time that passed was actually not very long.

After doing all this, Roya's consciousness returned.

When Roya opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a female knight with a worried expression.

Seeing Roya open his eyes, the female knight leaned closer, somewhat pleased, but mostly worried. The seemingly carefree knight tentatively asked, "Roya?"

Luo Ya nodded, his expression showing no sign of surprise.

Roya's behavior did not dispel her doubts. She glanced at the other boy who had fallen into a coma, sighed, and looked worried: "I was just here to pick up a few people, why did so many things happen? Sigh."

A knight in armor stood beside Claire.

Claire waved to the other party and said to the young knight, "Take good care of this good-for-nothing for me. I won't be taking him with me on this trip to the capital."

Claire said this to the knight beside her with a serious expression.

Actually, Claire's statement was partly driven by personal motives.

The boy was bewitched by a demon and almost managed to infiltrate the capital. Although the demon did not succeed, the mere fact that he had such thoughts and actions was enough to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem. Even if he was bewitched by a demon, even if it was due to uncontrollable factors, he would still be imprisoned for threatening national security.

Although the other party left a very bad impression on Claire, despite the bad impression, the families behind them had some personal ties, so she tried to turn a blind eye as much as possible.

This matter has now come to a complete end. Claire bowed to Roya and said in a deep voice, "This was my mistake. Because of my personal issues, Your Excellency suffered such an incident. I will report the truth to Her Highness and will provide Your Excellency with appropriate compensation."

Luo Ya nodded, not particularly concerned about the so-called compensation.

If it were Kazuma and his group, they might be jumping for joy. Money is indeed a good thing, especially for those problem children, but it's not that helpful to Roya.

Seemingly noticing Roya's nonchalant expression, Claire frowned. As a royal guard knight, receiving the princess's reward and compensation was an immense blessing for her.

However, considering that the accident was caused by her own problems, she chose to remain silent.

Claire stood in the teleportation array with Roya and nodded to the mage who ran over beside her.

The mage was a young girl. The moment she saw the boy, her face turned bright red, and she subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Luo Ya's gaze.

However, Luo Ya greeted the other party with a smile, maintaining his refined and approachable image.

Claire raised an eyebrow, but remained silent.

With a series of skillful maneuvers, the little girl created a magic circle that shimmered with azure light, enveloping the two of them. Light particles slowly rose, eventually reaching mid-air before dissipating.

With the blink of an eye, the scene before me has undergone a complete transformation.

What came into view was a majestic palace, with a white castle towering into the clouds above it, surrounded by city walls even more extravagant than those of the town where Roya had previously stayed.

Roya was only slightly surprised, but did not show any shock or other expression, which made Claire even more suspicious of Roya's identity.

These are all people Her Highness wanted, so how could no one have investigated them? But no matter how they investigated, the information from above was very simple: no such person could be found.

It was as if this boy had appeared out of thin air.

Because heroes actually exist in this world, and this continent also worships gods, it is said that the hero who defeated the Demon King had seen the gods with his own eyes. Therefore, the people of this world are not so resistant to the sudden appearance of such adventurers.

However, while not rejecting it is one thing, the specific circumstances still need to be analyzed separately.

The fact that this adventurer was able to defeat a high-level demon head-on is enough to show that he is quite strong. Considering the town's evaluation of the boy, it is enough to show that the boy in front of him is a good person.

Although the boy was most likely to be fine, Claire still said to Roya, "It may be a bit rude of me to say this, but it's for your own good, so please don't refuse."

"When you meet the princess, I hope you will be able to undergo the high priest's inspection."

Claire's concern was that Roya might be controlled by a demon. He pretended to be uncontrolled in order to put Claire at ease and then sneak into the capital.

Although the probability of this is very low, it is indeed safer to do this just in case.

Furthermore, the high priest could also be consulted to see if the demon had placed any curse-like things on Roya.

After all, demons are not only adept at bewitching people, but also skilled at manipulating curses.

Roya nodded and smiled at Claire, saying, "Of course, thank you so much."

Looking at the incredibly handsome young man, Claire blushed. The knight coughed, turned his gaze away, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, it's only right."

Then Claire led Roya into the capital.

Magnificent!

The country's arrogance still surprised Roya a little.

Although one can guess from the outside that the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, people are still amazed by the palace's grandeur when they actually walk in.

The floor was spotless white, and the corridor was lined with all sorts of oil paintings.

Because it was from another world, Roya didn't know how many Eris these things were worth. Roya was also a rough and uncultured man who appreciated this kind of art.

But I reckon these things must be quite expensive.

After walking through this not-so-long corridor, the garden in the middle comes into view.

Water gently sprays from above the flowerbed, and under the sunlight, it is evenly sprinkled on the flowerbed.

A maid was standing next to the flowerbed. She was dressed in a black and white maid outfit. The girl was about twenty years old and wore white stockings that covered her two slender legs. She was bending over and using gardening tools to prune the branches and leaves.

There were many maids like this; at a glance, I saw three or four such maids.

Of course, not all of these maids were trimming the flowerbed; some were currently clearing fallen leaves from the ground.

"This way."

Seemingly noticing that Roya had paused slightly, Claire turned her head and called out to Roya, urging him to quicken his pace.

Roya nodded and followed Claire into a room.

Claire gestured to Roya to wait a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying in a deep voice, "It's me, Claire."

Soon, a somewhat aged and weary voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Without hesitation, Claire opened the door and went inside first.

The room was large, but then again, it makes sense; in a palace, there certainly wouldn't be any cramped or small rooms.

The room was large, but the facilities were very basic.

It's basically tables pushed together, somewhat similar to the layout of an office in my previous life. Of course, there are differences. The space here is huge, so huge that Luo Ya suspects there's more than enough room to lie down and rest in a chair.

But since it's an office area, I doubt anyone would do that.

Luo Ya's gaze swept across the layout of the table, looking at the items placed on it.
