Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

Chapter 39 Ana's Path

***

Ana Silveria, despite acting calm and quiet, was hiding away strong emotions deep inside her heart.

Right after being born in this world, she was surrounded by strangers. She would cry and live in constant fear and nervousness.

She was a small child being reborn in another world as a baby; for her, this was a bizarre concept that she was only able to learn after growing up.

She stopped crying and began to accept her new parents, with whom she had to live from now on. Fortunately for Ana, Arash and Vienna were both doting and caring parents. She was able to get along with them, learning many things from them.

However, Ana still had the desire to meet her true father, Max.

So, when she was eight years old, she asked Arash. "Father, can we bring people back from the dead?"

Arash, who was reading a book, was stumped to hear this coming from his young daughter, as no eight-year-old would question about death. Still, he answered his daughter with a big smile. "Ana, I do not know anything about bringing people back from the dead, or maybe because I am just a small baron because of that, I do not hold such information."

Ana's face saddened, and she looked down with a slight depression, which made Arash's heart quake. So, he quickly came up with something that he knew a little about. "Actually, there might be someone who could."

"Who?" Ana's head shot up and she looked at Arash's eyes eagerly.

"God," Arash pointed his finger up. "Gods and Goddesses who reside in the high heavens. They have the power to bring people back from the dead. But unfortunately, we can't become gods or ask them to do such things."

Ana's face was about to become gloomy again, but Arash's sudden enthusiastic voice broke it.

"However! I heard that if you can reach a certain realm that is just below god, then you can ask god to do anything for you."

Ana's eyes sparkled with firmness as she found the hope and goal she had in this life. She had seen the magical powers of this world, so she believed it was possible.

Arash rubbed his daughter's head, ruffling her well-combed hair, and asked. "Was I of any help?"

Ana hugged Arash's legs and said with a big smile on her face. "You were, father."

"I am glad." Arash's heart was soothed, feeling the affection from Ana. He was very worried at the start as Ana would always cry and would not want to be hugged or touched by anyone, not even him and Vienna. 'It looks like I was worrying for nothing.'

Like that, Ana started her journey to become a strong mage right after awakening her mana pool in her heart. Because she was able to use a rare magic element, which was star magic, she was easily enrolled in the royal academy.

Ana was from Earth; she had seen many spectacles and weird things on TV despite being young. So, she was able to achieve many things using star magic with her wild imaginations.

[ Star Revolver ]

This spell was something Ana made after getting mesmerized by Max's shooting skills.

Ana aimed her fingers at beasts that tried to approach them and killed them easily with white beams, which came from the white mana balls that constantly came out of her and revolved behind her.

Hueg, who was preparing himself, was surprised by Ana's power, he could feel the lethality of the beams, and the speed at which they shot was hard to dodge against. However, Hueg didn't get too worried about her but was filled with excitement. 'This will be fun.'

Marley, Lily, and the people in their surroundings were also surprised by her powers. Especially Marley, as he was sure he would easily get killed if he fought against her. 'This can't be!? I am someone from a Viscount's family, and she is from a Baron's. How can she be stronger than me?'

Ana didn't care about what anyone thought; all she had on her mind was clearing these obstacles that were blocking her path. At that moment, she saw many beasts approaching them—only a few meters apart—which she couldn't kill; she only had a few shots to take in this spell.

Ana said this to Hueg without turning her head. "Will you do something now?"

"Yes, I was just watching how others play," Hueg said with a smirk and then took a step forward.

Step

Just as Hueg took that step, he vanished from his spot and arrived beside a Forest Gale Tiger. He swung his sword down—that was filled with green-colored mana—at the Forest Gale Tiger's neck, severing its head in one go.

However, a wind-blasted out from his sword in the shape of a crescent moon, injuring the Forest Python that was beside the Forest Gale Tiger by surprise.

" [ Flurry of Wind ] " Hueg's spell, which shot wind in a crescent shape from his sword.

At that moment, a giant bear paw came swinging down at Hueg.

" [ Wind Thrusts ] " Hueg used another spell, having wind shot out of his feet, having him shoot up in the air, dodging the Dire Bear's paw.

Hueg in the sky, looking down at the Dire Bear which was below him and used [ Flurry of Wind ], leaving only a deep scar on top of its skin.

"Tsk." Hueg scoffed a little but didn't get too disappointed as he expected such a result as Dire Bear was known for their thick fur.

In the sky, Hueg flipped his sword in his hand, like doing a trick to showcase for the audience. But that wasn't true as Hueg, who was holding his sword backward with its point pointed backward, pushed his sword.

Puchi!

Hueg's sword pierced a Giant Bat's chest by surprise, which wanted to take Hueg by surprise in the first place.

Hueg twisted his sword and swung his sword diagonally with [ Flurry of Wind ], blasting off the Giant Bat's right side of the shoulder.

"KRAA!" It fell down with a scream, and Hueg too.

Hueg, still using  [ Flurry of Wind ] came crashing down on the Dire Bear below him while swinging his body like a Beyblade.
