Chapter 1: The Power of the Demon God
"What are you talking about, isn't that a matter of course? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Didn't you sense the connection between the two of us?"
Looking at the girl who said this sentence confidently, Antun couldn't help but want to hide her face and sigh - director, the script is not right with what was said, this eldest lady's attributes are not cute at all.
However, after she mentioned this, Antoun did find that there seemed to be some kind of law that connected the two, even if he didn't deliberately use magic to investigate, he could clearly realize the existence of the girl.
It seems that Fang Cai's guess is not wrong, he is indeed because of the summoning magic - at this time Antoun did not know the theory of magic in this world, so he thought that the summoning performed by Luo Jielinti and the magic of the other world belonged to the same system - he returned here.
But this also meant that he was mistaken, although this was the earth, it was definitely not the place where he had lived for more than twenty years. Because in his time, the so-called magic was a product that only existed in fantasy worlds.
Parallel worlds.
As a result, words that have appeared in the past life and have been used in countless works instantly come to mind. Remembering what someone had said to him before he challenged St. Dickram, his frustration at realizing that he hadn't really returned to the place where he had lived in the past was slightly relieved.
Looking at the girl with short hazel hair and pale eyes in front of her again, Antoun couldn't help muttering:
"'Encounter', it seems to be good. β
Then, seeing that the girl was showing signs of a relapse, he finally remembered that he hadn't done anything yet.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. When we first met, I was a demon god from another world, Antoon Sayadoo. Master, please instruct. β
Even though Antoun felt that he had made it clear enough, the girl still couldn't accept it.
"Demon God of the Other World?What is that...... The Demon God I know should be ...... And no matter how you look at this guy, he looks like an ordinary person...... No, no, that stupidity that can fall from a great height and get unharmed is unusual......"
"Miss, I heard it all. β
"Yes, what's the matter! I'm your summoner!"
"Yes, yes, yes. But miss, you didn't just summon me out to find a companion to talk to, did you, although your personality is a bit bad, but you don't look like a guy who lacks friends to the point of this......"
"Do I look that much like someone who has no friends!"
Of course not, it's just that I'm kidding you. Before Antoun could say this, he sensed a hidden fluctuation of magic behind the girl. Before thinking about what it was, his body had already moved, and for him, who had the body of a demon god, it didn't take him even a blink of an eye to cross such a short distance.
Completely painless, he just felt something stab him in the chest that was blocking the girl's back, and he flung his hand forward in a way that mimicked the attack of a long whip. The sensation of hitting something and the loud sound came almost at the same time, and then Antoun saw a guy dressed in an inky warrior costume be sent flying away by him, directly embedded in the wall of the hotel, causing a huge crack that would not survive.
Pulling out the short knife that had stabbed into his body and throwing it on the ground, he secretly slandered the fact that he had been stuck in the chest with a weapon twice in a row, Antoun turned his head to Luo Jielinti, who had not yet reacted.
"Hey, girl, what's the matter with this guy? It's so weak, is this the threat that forced you to summon me?"
Luo Jielinti, who turned around, had an incredulous expression on her face.
"This guy I remember as a member of the 'Forest of Thorns', though not a title holder...... But in other words, is it really ambushed nearby? β
"Of course, after all, this is one of the few places where magic gathers in the entire neighborhood, and that's a fact that anyone who is a qualified magician can know. Considering your current situation, Miss Luo Jielinti, in order to break the game, you must use the 'sideways image' to summon the Heroic Spirit, and in the absence of a magical medium, you can only rely on the location. Isn't that right?"
As if to respond specifically, someone's voice rang out abruptly.
In front of Antun and Luo Jielinti, the group of ink-colored dressers who slowly emerged from the entrance of the hotel were clustered in the center, and a middle-aged man with a conspicuous hooked nose who was supposed to be a dark green gem in his left eye looked at the two with his right eye.
Antun, in particular, could clearly feel that most of the other party's time was spent on him. Sure enough, the hook-nosed man spoke up shortly after he had this judgment.
"I heard the conversation between the two just now, presumably Your Excellency is the Heroic Spirit summoned by Miss Luo Jielinti, right? Although Your Excellency looks like a Heroic Spirit from the Eastern Country, in any case, is it too arrogant to call yourself a Demon God? And why did you put on a pseudonym, did you sense the existence of us?"
If you don't act so dedicatedly, people like you can only live one chapter.
couldn't help but complain in his heart, Antun decided to obey the other party's obvious provocation and release his own restrained momentum, causing everyone in the "Forest of Thorns" to tremble, and a few of them were unbearable, and even fell directly to the ground. Seeing the stunned looks on most of their faces, he replied with a pretended majesty.
"What do you think? It's just that I wasn't sure of your identity at the time, so it's not good to kill innocents indiscriminately, right?"
"Hahaha-"
The middle-aged man's tasteless laughter interrupted Antun's words, and he was also one of the few people who not only did not be surprised, but seemed very excited after feeling Antun's momentum. As Antoun predicted.
"It's really a lottery. Originally, the old man was a little unconvinced when he gave the instruction for Miss Luo Jielinti to summon the Heroic Spirit and then seize control, but now it can be said that he is convinced.
As the first heir to the famous magic association 'Yugutra Hill', he can summon such a powerful heroic spirit even under the harshest conditions of complete unpreparedness. Even if you go any further, it's not impossible to reach the second sequence, or even the strongest one.
And, I apologize to you for the rudeness just now, and your Excellency is indeed a self-proclaimed demon god. β
Between the words, the blazing gaze projected in the hooked nose and eyes made Antoun a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Hmph...... Even if it is the third sequence or even higher, it is also my servant, where do you get the confidence to stand here. β
Luo Jielinti, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said. Antoun sensibly chose to keep his mouth shut, for no other reason, the girl had already given him a command through a magic similar to "telepathic link" before she could speak.
"Of course, in normal times, we would never be so reckless, but now, we have prepared a complete strategy. β
"Is the so-called foolproof solution what you get by taking refuge in the Holy See?"
Luo Jielinti choked the hooked nose that was still full of smugness just now. However, he was also a high-ranking person in the magic association, and the man quickly changed his original expression, but there was already a little resentment in his voice again.
"Miss Luo Jielinti, the only time you can be proud of is now. With less than twenty people, only two title holders dared to expedition to our territory to excavate the ruins, I really don't know if you are confident or stupid. The most infuriating thing is that you have no one in your eyes and a condescending attitude-"
"What are you talking about, have you become stupid after joining the Holy See? The strong deserve more power, because they also have heavy responsibilities. I guess you don't understand that, because you're too weak. β
Even Antun, who was just listening, felt the sharpness in Luo Jielinti's words, not to mention the hooknose and the "Forest of Thorns" group who were the direct targets of these words. Seeing them indignant, as if they might attack at any moment, Antoun felt that his side was more like villains.
Of course, the development of things was not so straightforward, I saw Eagle Hook Nose stretch out his hands and clap his hands gently, in addition to calming the commotion within his own side, he also let two of the members of the "Forest of Thorns" put someone on the shelf.
When he saw that it was a girl with long silver-white hair and a maid's outfit who had fallen asleep, Antoun also confirmed the fact that Luo Jielinti bit her lip with the corner of her eye.
[Sure enough, they kidnapped Altina while we were talking.] I'll just say how she's not where she used to be. γ
Her voice seemed to ring directly in Antoun's head. Antoun also understood why she wanted to provoke the other party's actions to a certain extent.
"If you remember correctly, this Miss Icebrier is your best friend, isn't she? β
The hooked nose seemed to sigh with real emotion, and then said with a very sincere face.
"How about handing over the 'sideways portrait'? I'll ask the Holy See for your bodies to be buried together. β
At the end of the announcement, he looked at Antun again.
"Of course, don't think about using the power of the Heroic Spirit to take this young lady back. After all, calculating the time, it is almost time for the special seal that was blessed to your body through the prepared sneak attack, right? I'm afraid that your strength is now not even half of your usual strength. β
Hearing this, Antun frowned, it wasn't because as the other party said, there was some special seal that reduced his strength. It's that he doesn't appreciate the loss of strength in his body at all. Although he didn't expect that the other party's scheming was so deep that he even counted him as helping Luo Jielinti block the knife, but in terms of results, the other party's efforts didn't seem to have any effect.
[Hey, is that hooknose telling the truth?]
Luo Jielinti, who didn't know his situation, looked a little anxious, and Antun comforted her.
[I don't feel that way at all, probably because the props found by the other party are not effective enough to work on me.] γ
[Really?]
[Hey, it seems that you won't believe it if you don't show your strength. Well, just wait and see. γ
[Hey, don't do it without permission-]
Before Rogerinti could finish speaking, Antoun rushed towards the two of them who had set up Artina with a high-speed movement secret technique called "Instantaneous", which he had learned from someone. Due to the fact that his magic could not be used when he fell from a height, Antun did not use any techniques to strengthen his body in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, but only used the power of his body to act.
Of course, for him, who was once a demon god, even the simplest movements already have the power to surpass common sense.
Before the two of them could react, the two of them were knocked away with a straight punch and an uppercut, respectively, and then he grabbed the silver-haired girl's body with his left hand and withdrew to Luo Jielinti again with an "instant".
The whole rescue process took less than a second, and when Antoun regained his footing, the two people who flew into the air had not yet landed.
"What......"
For his sudden and easy action to recapture the girl who was a hostage, the cold sweat on the body of Eagle Hooknose and the others, who were still full of confidence, instantly broke out. The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm as a human being, and the instinct of being a magician make them clearly recognize that the existence summoned by the "side-by-side image" in front of them is far more powerful than all the magic books recorded.
"Attack, attack!"
So he shouted so loudly - I have to say that the "Forest of Thorns" was a well-trained society, and everyone quickly took out what looked like plant seeds from the pockets where the magic medium was placed on their bodies as soon as they recovered from their stunned state.
They held the magic medium in unison, and then threw it in the direction of Antoon and the others, and the turquoise light suddenly joined together, illuminating the entire lobby of the hotel.
"O king of the dark realm, drive out the enemy for me!"
Standing out among the crowd was the hooked nose that was clustered, and the jewel in his left eye shone brightly. With a loud shaking and ominous sound, more than a dozen thick dark green thorns broke through the ground, reaching the ceiling of the hotel, and then shot at Antun and the others from four directions under the command of the hooked nose.
"Antun!"
In a critical situation, Luo Jielinti couldn't help but call out Antun's name directly, to which he only smiled trustingly.
"Look, my master, this is the power of the demon god. β
After confirming the remaining magic power in his body, Antoun silently called out to "come to the sword" in his heart, and the weapon that had accompanied him countless times in the other world hovering on the line between life and death appeared in his right hand with a gradually condensed white light.
It is a silvery-white sword, with a carved pattern in the center of the blade that seems to conduct magical power, a round gauntlet, a mechanical structure that bites each other, and a normal grip, with an amber gem set at the bottom.
After mobilizing the huge amount of magic in his body and changing his nature, Antoun poured it into the sword in his right hand. Despite not being able to use magic, there doesn't seem to be any problem with swordsmanship. A pale blue arc of lightning leaped around the blade, and cracks opened in the junction of the gauntlet's gauntlet, resulting in something like the eye of an ancient behemoth.
"Mystery - thunder. β
Whispering this move, which was almost invincible even in another world, Antoun swung his sword as hard as he could, holding Artina in the most suitable position for his power. The pale blue light emitted by the silver-white blade overshadowed the turquoise light that had appeared earlier when the hooked nose summoned the great thorns, and with a huge roar, everything in front of Antoun was annihilated in a furious thunder.
In the hotel building, which was finally about to fall due to a huge impact, even Luo Jielinti, who was a summoner, could only be speechless.
What kind of monster did you summon?
A few kilometers away from the hotel where Luo Jielinti and the others were, at the top of a viewing tower, an old man in an inky robe stood side by side with a young man in a priest's costume on the edge of the platform.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, it seems that the old man has won. β
The old man touched his beard and laughed with satisfaction as he watched the pale blue light that shone in a certain direction for a moment, dispel heavy clouds, and cause dozens of buildings to collapse.
"Cut...... Take it, old man. β
Although the young man was dissatisfied in his heart, he still threw a certain airtight columnar container in his hand at the old man. The old man, who originally looked quite stable, took the container in a bit of a panic before complaining.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, this is precious materialβ"
"I know, I know, how many times have you old man said it. But you, the precious material in the eyes of a magician, are of little use to the Holy See. β
"Yes, yes, yes. β
Listening to the young man's words, the old man couldn't help but laugh. However, he was obviously a little absent-minded, his eyes kept on the container he had just entered.
"Speaking of which, I really don't understand that you guys are all shouting about the truth, and it turns out that you are not all people who let others die for their own desires. β
"Isn't His Highness the Holy Son sarcastic about the old man? But those people have learned some knowledge from the old man, and it is not too much for the old man to ask them to do some small things in return, right?"
"It turns out that in the eyes of the magician of Sequence Six, giving his life is just a trivial matter. β
The old man did not respond immediately to the young man's words. Instead, he stared at the contents of the container for a long time before slowly replying with a smile.
"Of course. β
As if reacting to the old man's conclusion, the contents of the sealed container, wrapped in an unknown solution, were all golden, with several pairs of wings behind him, like the eyes of the legendary petite being named goblin opened slightly.
After witnessing this scene, the smile on the old man's face became even more obvious. It's just that the big grinning mouth and the dark yellow teeth hidden in it make people feel disgusting and inexplicably frightened.
"In the pursuit of truth, there is always a need for human sacrifice. β
