Chapter 69: Another Demon King
'What's going on?' I was surprised.
"You're not the only one who has been resurrected as the 'Demon King's Soul'..."
'Impossible!' I exclaimed.
'That's how I reacted when I first found out about it, but it's true, remember Dacula?'
'Of course, one of the first vampires bred by the Demon King, second only to Malachovo in strength.'
"Yes, you also know that since the 'Armageddon', the whole demon race has fallen into disintegration, this Dacula relied on his prestige in the vampire clan, pulled up a group of people to stand on his own, and after many years of operation, he has now become the 'king' of the vampires, but it is still unwilling, so that it plans to dominate the earthly realm, of course, it is not enough to rely on its own strength, so it thought of its former master... It seems that they have been trying to revive the Demon King since the beginning of the day, but they didn't expect to let Houdini, a human, take the lead in the end, which is undoubtedly a blow to their group of self-esteemed guys, right? After that, Dacula was bent on getting back to Ichi, and most people at that time were targeting you, the living Horcrux, but it found another way to focus on the huge information left behind by Houdini's death, after all, there is not only one Demon King Horcrux, it believes that as long as you follow those clues, you may be able to concoct it in the same way, and then unlock other seals, so that you can also obtain the power of the Demon King? So after that, it managed to get the information that Houdini had collected back then, and after more than ten years of research and search, it really succeeded, at least it claimed that it was, and now they are using this as a banner in the north to recruit troops and expand their strength, and the 'Gorsa Warlock Regiment' was cultivated by them.'
I was surprised to hear that there were other demon kings in this world besides me, and I thought that as long as I died, all the strife would be over, but now it seems that the situation is far beyond my expectations.
'Is this news true?' My tone trembled.
'I've been lurking outside their base camp for half a year, do you think it's true?'
'Then you have seen the Demon King?'
Anthola shook his head: "No, Dacula, I have seen all those old guys in Nigel, but except for the Great Demon King, I have not even seen a shadow, and I have heard those minions say that it seems to be protected in an extremely secret place, except for a few high-ranking people such as Dacula, I have never seen outsiders, so until now I doubt the authenticity of this matter..."
'So you're saying Dacula lied?'
'Possibly, you know more about the power of demon kings than I do, imagine if they did unleash such terrible creatures, and would act so low-key?' And they are still looking for the whereabouts of other Horcruxes like crazy until now, which makes people wonder that this may be just a hoax directed and acted by Dacula, in order to expand his influence, of course, maybe I guessed wrong, after all, this is the first time that the resurrection of the demon king has happened in the past, and no one knows what the situation will be.'
After listening to Antonla's words, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, indeed it makes sense analytically, with my understanding of the Demon King, if that guy woke up, he would have turned the world upside down, how could it be so peaceful and low-key, and the soul of the Demon King is one, if there are really other parts revived I can't even feel it at all, of course, as Anton La said, we all know too little about this kind of thing, and we can't make a judgment so simply at the moment.
'But whether it's true or not, we can't let Dacula's group succeed in their plans, or the world will be over!'
'Are you sure?' Antonla looked at me and said suspiciously.
'Of course!'
'But have you ever thought that you might die in that case, and more importantly, you haven't been moved at all by such a powerful force?'
I know that no one will believe me, but I've been trying to end it for a long time. That guy is a disaster, once he wakes up, it will only bring destruction to the world, as long as I can stop this, even if it is destroyed, I have no complaints, as for the great power... Don't do anything that will only bring misfortune to yourself and others...'
After listening to me, Antonla didn't say anything, but looked at me quietly, and finally sighed after a long time: 'If I hadn't secretly observed you for so long, even I wouldn't have believed that a guy with the 'soul of the Demon King' would be so kind...'
'Because it's what it is, and I'm me...'
Anton Ra heard the 'poof' and said, 'Do you know that you just said something very philosophical?'
I was a little embarrassed when it said this, and lowered my head with a red face.
'Alright, alright, no kidding. In fact, I also wanted to use your huge power at first, but since I saw the horror of the demon king with my own eyes, I realized what kind of mistake I made, it is not something that should exist in this world at all, so I will rescue you again and again, in order not to let that power fall into the hands of any careerist, of course, it is best if we can join forces to stop Dacula's plan, but I can't confirm your intentions before, but fortunately your words just now did not disappoint me...' Speaking of this, Antonla's eyes suddenly softened, as if the elder was looking at his junior, and this was the first time I clearly felt that it was actually much older than it looked...
'Do you really think so?' Even though I knew it was a bit rude, I couldn't help but ask.
'Can't trust me?'
'Sort of, after all, we only met for the first time today...'
'Strictly a second time.' Anton La corrected.
'How is that possible?' I was surprised.
'Who do you think rescued you from Karadezan last time?'
"It's you..."' Suddenly my mind was pulled back to that terrible night, I and the princess and others were besieged by the 'Gorsa Warlock Regiment', seeing that it was a lot of bad luck, but in the end I don't know who came to the rescue, and took a few of us to the distant Fallen Leaves Town overnight, and we also got acquainted with Ah Zi, and afterwards we also wanted to find out who the benefactor who rescued that night was, and recently put together to show that the other party was very likely to be a dragon, which we all thought was too absurd at the time, After that, the matter was over, but now it seems that everything is making sense...
That's right, in fact, I was following George's gang that time, it was the red-haired boy who used 'hypnosis' on you at that time, it was Dacula's son, and the people around him generally called him 'Young Master', and their target was originally 'Sun God Glasses', which was an important tool to unlock the seal of the Horcrux, but I didn't expect to run into you by accident, and I felt familiar when I saw you, until I found out that George's 'hypnotism' was completely ineffective for you, and I didn't realize what was happening, so I came to the rescue, oh my God, Those guys would be mad if they knew what they had missed?'
