Since the whole city has been razed to the ground, it took us a lot of effort to find the temple from last night, and like the rest of the city, it is already unrecognizable, and you can't find even a single brick and tile in just one night, and the temple full of history seems to exist only in our memories....

"Who are you looking for? Is he really going to be there?" Maria looked at her surroundings and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Definitely, if you can't even handle this little trouble, it won't be Vadeseus." I rummaged on the ground as I spoke.

"Waldehuus!? God of Ancient Wisdom!" Maria was surprised, as a member of the Illuminati, she still knew something about these so-called "heretical gods".

"That's right, it was the one who came to me last night, and the reason why Heavenly Court is in such a hurry to use the 'Final Judgment' is probably because I'm afraid that the two of us will collude together. This is it!" With that, I stopped in front of a mound of dirt.

"You take Malfoy and stand back a little bit." As I spoke, I handed the Malfoy in my arms to Maria, who reached out and took it, and took a few steps back, and then I waved my free hand at the mound, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and then I saw a metal ball gradually revealing under the mud and sand...

"Guillaume's magic weapon!" Maria exclaimed.

"It should be Watt Hughes's to be exact." As I spoke, I stepped forward and knocked on the outer shell of the artifact a few times.

"Old fox, don't hide, those little girls have already gone back."

As soon as I finished speaking, a gap opened in the ball that was more than one person high.

"Hey, this old fox is really suspicious." I smiled helplessly, took Malfoy from Maria's hand, and walked slowly down, while Maria followed, the interior of the orb surprisingly maintained the structure of the temple, but it was somewhat messy due to the explosion, and we followed the road we had taken last night to the strange room again, where Guillaume and the men in black were all hiding, and in the center of them was the statue of Vadhuus.

"I didn't expect us to see each other again, my dear friend." As soon as he saw that it was us, Waldehuus immediately greeted him warmly.

"Without further ado, we're here for your help this time."

"I know..."

"You know everything?"

"Of course, if you lose to Flame last night, then the next unlucky person will definitely be me, of course I need to watch your battle all the time."

"Okay, I'm working hard outside, you kid is actually hiding here to watch the show!?"

"I'm sorry, my current mana is too weak, and being able to keep this place is already the limit, and I really can't help you."

"Don't talk nonsense, since you already know what we are here for, then give me a happy word, can you save this child."

"Can't~" Vadeseus replied categorically.

"Why?"

"Because it's beyond my means..."

"Your mana has really declined to this point?"

"I'm afraid it's even worse than you think, and even when my mana was the strongest, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight against you who have recovered one-third of your mana~"

"Wait, you're mistaken, I don't think I've got one-sixth of the Demon King's mana right now."

"No, it's a third, I don't believe you look at that Horcrux on your waist."

When I heard Vadeseus say this, I knew that the situation was not good, and I hurriedly reached out and touched my waist, only to find that the Horcrux that was originally placed there had actually been broken, and this means...

"It can't be...," I was surprised.

"Nothing in this world is impossible..."

"When was it?"

"Didn't you notice something unusual at the time when you were fending off the Final Judgment and the Horcrux was overwhelmed by the head-to-head confrontation between two magical forces?"

It was only after Vadeseus said this that I remembered that I had heard something shattering, and then I seemed to have gained a great force, and then I was able to block the "Final Judgment" and repel the attack of the flames.

"Could it be that at that time the Demon King's soul fused!?"

"That's right."

"But why don't I feel it?"

"It's going to take a process, my dear friend, anyway, your magic is growing rapidly right now, so this child's demonization process is unstoppable."

"So there's nothing you can do about it?"

"You can't say that..."

Hearing Vadesius say this, I couldn't help but perk up, and hurriedly asked, "I knew that you kid would definitely have a way, tell me how to do it?"

"The most direct way, of course, is to kill him..."

"Uhhh

"Please, can you say that again?"

"Kill him, then the demonization of this child will end, and he himself will be liberated..."

"What kind of solution is this!?" I couldn't help but get angry.

"But that does solve the problem, doesn't it?"

"Do you believe it or not, I'm going to smash this damn statue right now?"

"Don't be impulsive, my dear friend, I'm just offering advice, and it's up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not. If you're going to save this child's life, there's another way to do it."

"What's the damage this time?"

"To unlock the bell, you still need to tie the bell, since it was your blood that made him demonized, naturally only you can make it reversed."

"But... But I won't."

"I can teach you the method, but now there is a problem...

"What's the problem?"

"You don't have enough mana...

"Mana?"

"That's right, in order to reverse the process of demonization, your magic must be stronger than it is now, so in short, to restore this boy to his original state...

"I'm going to have to integrate it further...

"It's easy to talk to smart people."

"But now where can I go to find the soul of the demon king, it's too late."

"Although I can't stop this child's demonization, but there is a way to delay this process, during this time you can try to find other demon king's souls, of course, I can't guarantee whether it will succeed in the end."

"There's really no other way but that?"

"Actually, it might be a good choice to let this child demonize, you know..."

"Stop!" I interrupted Vadeseus lest he continue to make some unorthodox suggestions.

"Let's just do what you just said."

After that, Vadesius taught us how to delay demonization, not to mention, although this guy spoke a little out of tune, the method he taught was immediate, and in the blink of an eye, the puffiness on Malfoy's face gradually subsided, revealing his originally handsome face.

"But I really didn't expect you to care so much about a mortal, it's not like your style." Vadeseus said not without a joke.

"Because you know the Demon King, not me."

"I found out, the demon king I know will never risk his life to protect others, and I even have some doubts about whether choosing to cooperate with you is the right decision."

"It doesn't matter, I didn't promise to work with you anyway."

"Hehe, it's good, at least you're on the same page with the Demon King in terms of unscrupulousness, which has somewhat restored my confidence."

"Don't talk nonsense, if you know about the souls of other demon kings, tell them quickly!"

"Did I mention I knew the whereabouts of the Demon King's Soul?"

"You didn't say it, but when I asked where to find the soul of the demon king just now, you didn't directly say that you didn't know, plus now your mana is fragile and too busy to take care of yourself, but you still dare to bring me to talk about cooperation, presumably you have enough bargaining chips with me, and after linking several things and analyzing them, I have reason to believe that you know the whereabouts of the remaining soul of the demon king!"
