Chapter 116: Fate
"Wait, there's going to be a way to stop it!" I couldn't help but be anxious.
"It's useless, you and I both know that once the "Curse of the Night" hits, there is no possibility of stopping... Hmm." Anna said with a wry smile, moaning quietly at the same time, I can't imagine how painful her body is at this moment...
"Why? Why do you want to do this!?" By this time my voice was clearly crying...
"Nonsense, if you don't do this, when will your mother-in-law's character wait until you make a move!" Suddenly, the voice in Anna's mouth changed to that of a demon, and I was so frightened that I threw it on the ground at that time, and the whole person flew several feet away.
"Ouch, what's the matter with you kid!? Do you have any sympathy for a dying person to still be like this!?" The demon didn't seem to have fallen lightly now, and he held his waist and complained loudly, and there didn't seem to be any hostility in his tone...
"You... Are you Anna, or are you a demon?" I asked.
"Nonsense, you can't hear the sound yet!? Are you deaf!?" Well, with this breath alone, it's obvious that it's a demon...
"What the hell do you want to do?" To be honest, I'm a little confused at the moment.
"What else can you do? Come out and talk to you before you die, you kid is good, just throw people to the ground, just say that you can't do this if you are eccentric..."The demon lay on the ground and groaned, saying that this guy's emotions are really elusive, obviously he was a hysterical maniac before, trying to destroy the world, but at this moment it seems to have returned to that hanging, witty ruffian...
"You're really not playing tricks?" I will be skeptical.
"Nonsense!? If I had this ability, I would have started in your arms just now, and I still have to wait until now!? And if I really had the heart, I wouldn't be able to tell you to your face!? You're asking this question too much... Ouch..."The demon said as he rolled on the ground in pain, it seemed that the "curse of the night" was at work, and it didn't look like this guy was lying, but in view of the previous lesson, this time I still had an extra mind, and I kept my guard and slowly approached it.
"So... Are you throwing in the towel?" I asked tentatively.
"Don't you admit it? But you kid is really ruthless, and it's a "curse of the night" as soon as you come up..."
"I'm sorry, I'm forced to do it, after all, the opponent is you..."
"Hmph, do you think there's any point in complimenting me at a time like this?" The demon sneered, and in addition to mockery, his tone revealed a little helplessness.
"Even you can't do anything about the Curse of the Night?"
"Nonsense, the "Curse of the Night" is undoubtedly fatal to the demons, and the stronger the magic power, the more powerful it is, don't you already know this before you make a move!?"
"At the time, I thought that you were the one who controlled your body, and I calculated that the "Curse of the Night" alone should only stop you from moving forward, but I didn't expect... So you're really hopeless?"
"yes, this time it took advantage of your heart, right? It's all to blame on that damn little girl, if it weren't for her, the victory would have been mine!" The demon cursed indignantly, but suddenly its expression changed again.
"It's time like this, so don't shirk your responsibilities, okay!?" This time it was Anna's voice, please, I'm really fed up with this unwarning personality switch....
"If your spirit is stable enough, it is impossible for my soul to have the ability to resist, let alone regain the right to use the body, so to put it bluntly, everything is because of your own character flaws, you have been a crippled king from the beginning, even if you have the authority of the king, you will never be able to ascend to the last throne, this is your fate..."Anna sneered and explained, although the effect of the "Curse of the Night" had tormented her to the point of sweating and panting, but her eyes bloomed with the light of a victor, yesShe was fully entitled to rejoice, after all, in this battle between spirit and flesh, it was ultimately she, a mortal, who won a total victory over the Demon King, even though the price he paid for it was too great...
The demon didn't answer, and he didn't know if he didn't take back control of his body, or if he was really speechless about Anna's words. But now it doesn't seem important to pursue these things again, seeing Anna's face gradually turn to ashes, I know that the devouring has begun, and it won't be long before this body and the souls of Anna and the demons will be completely swallowed up by the black hole, and now that there is no one in this world who can stop this, I feel more self-blame and despair than ever before thinking about it.
"It's okay..."Suddenly, a cold hand touched my face, and when I looked up, it was Anna...
"Actually, it's a relief for me, and I want to thank you." Oh my God, she was actually laughing, obviously facing the great fear of death, obviously suffering unimaginable to ordinary people, but this woman was still laughing, still comforting me... It wasn't until this moment that I realized that I had been wrong for a long time, I always felt that I was trying to save Anna, but in fact Anna had been saving me, it was she who made me realize that I was not alone, there were other people in this world who were suffering the same pain and sorrow as me, this feeling was the first time since the death of my master... It can be said that her appearance has ignited my hope for life from a certain angle, but now it has been destroyed by my own hands... At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes...
"Hey, hey, don't cry. I haven't even cried when I'm going to die, what are you fooling up there?" Seeing this, Anna hurriedly comforted me, this woman is really much stronger than me, no matter what the situation is, she doesn't seem to despair, if only I could die in her place...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I repeated as I wiped my tears, and now I don't know what to say but sorry...
Seeing this, Anna smiled bitterly: "Fool, what are you sorry for, at that time, I would have made the same choice in that situation, maybe I would have been more ruthless than you... This is our destiny as Horcruxes, born to devour each other... Wow!"
Speaking of this, Anna suddenly opened her mouth, and a mouthful of blood sprayed directly on my face, I was completely frightened and stupid, and hesitated for a long time before I came back to my senses: "Anna, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay," Anna gritted her teeth and waved her hand.
"It's just that the devouring has begun, hehe, I feel like my internal organs are about to stir up..."Anna smiled bitterly, beads of sweat dripping down her face...
"Stop talking, I'm trying to find a way to stop the devouring.' I tried to put Anna down, but she reached out and stopped me.
"It's useless, Kane, don't waste your efforts, once the devouring begins, none of us can stop it... Ahh Before Anna could finish speaking, there was another moan, perhaps because of the pain, her body kept convulsing, and the picture was horrible...
"Damn!" I couldn't stop boxing in frustration, I used to be just a mortal and couldn't change many things, but now? I had the power of a demon king who could destroy the world, but I could only watch my nearest and dearest people slowly die in pain, and I couldn't do anything about it, and at that moment I felt something called fate again.
