"How do you know it's me?" Before everyone arrived, I couldn't help but whisper to the princess.

"Nonsense, if it's really a demon king, how can he be like a mother-in-law like you." The princess laughed as she lifted me from the ground, and I couldn't help but smile wryly and bow my head.

Finally, everyone finally got together again, although they were more or less injured, but because of Maria, a master of white magic, there was no worry about their lives, and when my energy gradually recovered, I also helped to put into the treatment, then the progress was naturally happier, and it didn't take long for everyone to basically regain their mobility.

"By the way, what kind of magic did you use just now?" Seeing that the other party was almost recovered, I couldn't help but ask Ryze on the side.

"Our clan has passed down the "curse of suppression" from generation to generation. “

"Since you have such a powerful trick, why don't you use it earlier!?" Anton La couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

"First of all, this trick requires a huge amount of mental power, and if you don't get it right, you will have to worry about your life, so we won't use it unless we have to. What's more, under normal circumstances, this trick will not work for the Demon King. “

"And Kane, what's going on?"

"Because he's special~" Speaking of this, Ruiz couldn't help but smile meaningfully, and everyone immediately looked at me when they heard this.

"Why do you say that?" I wondered.

"No matter how strong the soul of an ordinary human being, it is impossible to suppress the Demon King, but you are different, your soul seems to have a certain fusion effect on the soul of the Demon King, which can be used by you, but your own will is not affected. In short, you can say that you were born to be the nemesis of the soul of the Demon King. “

"I see, that's why he can still maintain his true nature after fusion, and others have withdrawn the soul of the demon king in his body several times, but he was finally absorbed back by it, so everything makes sense... Maria on the side couldn't help but nod her head again and again, as if she had realized.

"But why Kane, and not anyone else?" The princess asked.

Ruiz shook his head: "I don't know about this, maybe it has something to do with his birth, according to legend Kane, you don't have a father, it's the soul of the demon king who is conceived in the body of a mortal, so if you apply the relationship between humans, you can also be said to be the son of the demon king, then it is logical to be able to inherit the power of the "father". “

"You mean that Kane is actually the prince of the demon race, that is, the new generation of demon kings?" Tina was surprised on the side, and I have to say that this girl's thinking is sometimes very divergent.

"Perhaps." Ruiz shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly.

"And what will happen to these Demon King Souls in the future?" I can't help but be concerned.

"I don't know, maybe it's completely absorbed by you, maybe it's just a temporary sleep, in short, there are all kinds of possibilities, after all, this kind of thing has never happened before."

Listening to Ruiz's words, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, in other words, no one is sure that the Demon King's soul in my body will one day be revived again, I thought that this battle was finally over, but now it seems that everything has just begun...

"It's useless to worry about it now, in short, as long as everyone works together, there will be a way to deal with it after all." As if sensing my worries, the princess whispered softly, and at the same time put her hand firmly on my shoulder, which was obviously a delicate and slender hand, but at this time it seemed to be full of infinite strength.

"Hey, hey, don't talk to yourself, okay, when did I say I wanted to be involved in this?" Antonla, who was on the side, couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this.

"Hmph, if you're afraid, quit early, as if someone begged you to stay." Needless to say, the first person to come out and contradict Anton at this time must be Maria.

"Hey, who said I was scared? You yellow-haired girl don't button your hat indiscriminately, my old man just doesn't want to be represented by others."

"Hmph, cowards always like to make excuses for cowardice."

"Who are you scolding!?" Saying that, the two couldn't help but quarrel, and the rest of the people hurriedly persuaded them, in fact, everyone knew that Anton La had never been the kind of master who escaped from the battle, otherwise our group didn't know how many times they had died, it was just the usual knife mouth tofu heart, and Maria did not deliberately fight against it, which can be seen from the two of them fighting side by side just now, it can only be said that it is their character, I don't know why I don't feel annoyed in my heart when I see them so noisy, but gradually calmed down, Yes, despite the hardships ahead, I still have a princess, and so many trustworthy and lazy companions, and I am never alone in the fight.

"Hmm~" At this time, I turned my head and suddenly found that Saruman in the distance seemed to move slightly, which frightened me, just now I only cared about helping everyone treat, and almost forgot about this guy, although the soul of the demon king took away most of his life essence when he left, but looking at the posture, the elder of the wizarding guild did not die on the spot, in case he was later... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but immediately become alarmed.

"Watch out, everyone, Saruman seems to be alive."

"Won't it?" The commotion of the crowd immediately stopped.

"Let's go over and have a look." Everyone agreed to my proposal, so we all drew our swords and cautiously came to Saruman's side, because most of the essence was taken away, Saruman looked older and older at this moment, and the whole person looked almost like a skeleton, but he was still breathing, his almost dim eyes were indeed slightly open, his lips kept moving, as if he was saying something, but the voice was so light that he couldn't hear it at all.

"He seems to want to say something—" I said as I tried to help him up, but was grabbed by Maria behind me.

"Wait, this might be a trap."

I was stunned when I heard this, indeed, although most of the bad things in the past were done by the Demon King, we don't know what kind of person the real Saruman is, who can guarantee that he will not fight the trapped beast before he dies? However, when I looked at Saruman's anxious look and the almost begging look in his eyes, I finally relented.

"Forget it, with his current magic power, even if he wants to be against us, I'm afraid he won't be able to make any waves, let's just listen to what he wants to say." With that, I leaned down and gently helped Saruman to his feet.

"Lo... I saw Saruman's lips tremble slightly, as if he wanted to say whose name...

"What did you say?"

"Be careful... Rocky..."Saruman suddenly grabbed my sleeve tightly, so frightened that Maria and the others thought he was going to attack me, so they were ready to step forward and do it, but fortunately I was stopped by me in the end, because through Saruman's eyes, I could clearly feel that the other party had no intention of hurting me, but just wanted to convey some information to me, some extremely important information.

"Don't get excited, talk slowly, what's wrong with Rocky?"

"It's not Rocky, it's... Rocky..."Saruman tried his best to open his mouth wide, as if trying to use his life to say the last sentence, but suddenly his pupils opened suddenly, his breathing was rapid, and before we could react, his eyes rolled and he stopped moving.

"Hey, don't die yet, what the hell does Rocky mean?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly shook him violently a few times, but there was no reaction at all, so I had to put my hand on his heart and perform a healing technique, trying to save his life, but...

"How?" After a long time, seeing that Saruman still didn't react, Maria and the others couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"It's hopeless~" I shook my head helplessly while lowering the arm that was pressed on the other person's chest.

"The Demon King drained too much energy when he left his body, and with my current mana, I can't return to heaven at all."

"Damn!" Everyone couldn't help but feel sad, I gently placed Saruman's body on the ground, his expression was very serene, as if he was just asleep, although I didn't deal with him for a long time, but I felt very familiar with him, maybe because we were both carriers of the Demon King's soul, right? No matter how clever a magician he was during his lifetime, no matter how much knowledge and mysteries he knew about this world, in the end he could only leave behind a useless stinky skin like those peddlers' pawns, which cannot but be said to be ironic.
