Give up, all of you! You're just a bunch of weak, useless humans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting atop his demon horse, Malgrion burst into laughter. His gaze was fixed on the human army lined up before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions turned grim. To be honest, they were terrified of facing Malgrion and his army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were ruthless—far more ruthless than the armies of other demon generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the hero was currently unable to help. They weren't sure they could win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just then, a woman on horseback rode forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore silver armor, and her silver hair was tied in a ponytail, fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get too cocky, you evil demon!\" Evalyn snapped coldly. \"Don't think that just because you're confident, you can trample on our spirit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malgrion's laughter stopped. He stared at Evalyn in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did this woman come from? And…\" His eyes narrowed. \"Is she leading the hero's army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had received intelligence that the hero had been wounded. That was why he had dared to bring his army to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the hero's army was now being led by a young woman of unknown origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Malgrion burst into laughter again and pointed at the human army mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! Are you so desperate that you've asked a young woman to lead you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mockery embarrassed the soldiers. However, there was nothing they could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn's position as leader had been directly appointed by Roseline under the hero's orders. They had no right to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn wasn't angry at all. Instead, she looked excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan had once said that fighting a vigilant enemy was far more dangerous than fighting one who underestimated you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as possible, before the battle began, she had to prevent Malgrion from realizing her true capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I don't care.\" Malgrion chuckled. \"It seems you're already on the brink. But that's good. Since you want to kill yourselves, I'll help you make it happen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his sword from his back. The weapon was large and long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It measured a meter and a half in length, and its design was vastly different from ordinary swords. The blade was slightly curved, with three sharp edges capable of ripping through flesh and muscle upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone!\" he shouted coldly. \"Raise your weapons and attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woaah!\" The demon troops roared in unison, then charged toward the human army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn was undaunted. She opened her left palm, and a golden sword appeared in her grasp—the Divine Sword of Luminus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised it high and shouted, \"Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woaah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human army's morale soared. Without hesitation, they charged into the demon army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war between the two races had officially begun…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft! How amusing. I told you Roseline had feelings for you, but you denied it. And now, after that guy named Nolan told you about it, you actually believe him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teasing voice, tinged with mockery, came from Rei's left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei coughed awkwardly and explained, \"I'm sorry. It's not that I don't believe you, but it's hard to imagine Roseline having those kinds of feelings for me. But now that Nolan confirmed she's my future partner, I can finally relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he was just an ordinary college student who had never been in a relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget dating—he had never even held a woman's hand. He had to admit, it was truly embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was also why he had been unsure whether Roseline's attention all this time was simply concern for a friend or if she actually harbored deeper feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no doubts now. Roseline truly loved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, whatever. Glad to see you've realized it.\" Luminus chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, the sword trembled, and Rei immediately noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luminus fell silent for a few seconds before saying in a trembling voice, \"I-I can feel my power! It's coming from the battlefield!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Rei's eyes widened. \"Wait! Evalyn is on the battlefield. It must be coming from her Divine Sword of Luminus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Evalyn to bring her sword with her. That meant there were two Divine Swords of Luminus in this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei turned toward the battlefield outside, where the fighting raged, and his expression grew worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evalyn… I'm sure you can do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was incredibly brutal. Neither the demon forces nor the human forces showed even the slightest sign of weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although outnumbered, the soldiers under Evalyn displayed no fear whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that made sense, given that they were the best of the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the middle of the battlefield, two figures were fighting fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Evalyn and Malgrion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malgrion was a large demon, standing two and a half meters tall. He was muscular and looked incredibly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn, on the other hand, was 1.7 meters tall. Compared to Malgrion, she looked almost like a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their swords collided, producing a sharp, piercing metallic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! Give up, little girl! You don't stand a chance against me!\" Malgrion shouted arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn remained unfazed. She continued aiming for Malgrion's vital points, but the demon blocked every strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Malgrion increased the strength of his attack, instantly sending Evalyn flying two meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn spun in the air and landed safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! What's the matter? Are you finally giving up? Hehehe… go on then. Maybe I'll spare you and grant you an easy death. What do you say?\" Malgrion offered with a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn snorted coldly. \"In your dreams!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't unleashed her full power yet. As the saying goes, \"Don't show your strength to an enemy who underestimates you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the recent exchange, Evalyn had already analyzed that Malgrion was the type of demon who fought brutally, without any technique whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed easy to defeat him, the reality was quite the opposite. Fighting an opponent who didn't use technique was actually far more difficult than fighting those who did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because the movements of someone fighting purely with brute force were far harder to predict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Evalyn, this was clearly a challenge. She had never fought someone like Malgrion before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff…\" She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then she swung her sword forward and grinned. \"Don't get too cocky. The fight isn't over yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malgrion chuckled dismissively. But suddenly, his gaze fell on her sword—and he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sword…\" His eyes widened. \"Isn't that the Divine Sword of Luminus!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1063,"2026-05-30T06:57:33.623Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec863b65abd397cfce810d86c34c8a06d1370aa7a05bbf9702b6da6d138058be","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-624","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-623",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
