"Hey... I'm not ready yet!?" Because of the suddenness of the incident, I didn't grasp the staff at all, and seeing that Maria was about to leave, I immediately stepped forward and grabbed the end of the staff, and before I could grasp it, the whole person was taken by the staff and both feet off the ground, and now I look back on it at that time, it was really a little embarrassing.

"Look, where are they!?" Before we could fly far, the Holy See's reinforcements had already arrived, and everyone couldn't help but be anxious when they saw the target running away.

"Trouble, you kid hurry up!" I heard Maria turn her head and shout at me, and before I could understand what she meant, the staff made a sharp dive in mid-air, and the huge centrifugal force almost threw me out on the spot.

"Hey... Can you fly steadily!?" I couldn't help but shout at the top of my voice, I couldn't deny that it was ungraceful, but it was good that I didn't cry at the time.

"Less verbose!" Maria replied angrily, different from the previous style of talking and laughing, at this moment Maria seems to have returned to the state of "iceberg death", I saw that she was engrossed, manipulating the staff to dodge left and right in the attack of everyone, shuttling up and down, and finally really brought us out of the range of everyone's attack... Of course, although my whole body has been tossed and dizzy in the process...

"How's it going, can you still hold it?" Seeing that we had already flown away from Valdés, Maria turned to me and asked with a smile, and by the bright moonlight I could clearly see her long hair fluttering in the wind...

"You go down yourself... Come down and try it?" As I spoke, I tried to resist the urge to vomit.

"Hey, didn't I just propose that you sit on it? Who made someone say yes to themselves?"

"Who... Who knew you were going to play such a difficult action just now, damn it, I feel like my stomach is about to turn over..."

Maria heard the "poof" and laughed: "Isn't this to avoid their attack?" If you bear with me, you'll be in place soon. If you don't look at the scenery to distract yourself, tonight's night is really beautiful..."Maria actually looked up at the night sky, her eyes were full of intoxication, this is the first time I have seen her show such a girlish side.

It is undeniable that Maria was right, that night the wind was light and clear, the moon hung like a scimitar in the night sky, surrounded by bright stars, the mountains in the distance were undulating, the whole picture was beautiful like a work of art, I felt that my mind was much clearer when I looked at all this, and my chest was no longer so uncomfortable, and suddenly my mind went back to the past, to the night before Armageddon...

That's right, the night sky that night was also so beautiful, the demon king was quietly leaning on the cliff, looking at the Pyrenees Mountain that was still spitting magma in the distance, the vicious fight that had just ended made him feel exhausted, the diminutive Marshal Yoda stood aside to deal with the injury in his abdomen, from the nervous look on the latter's face, you can see how serious the injury was, other demons, including several demon gods, were watching from the sidelines, everyone behaved differently, Yelena was still very young at the time, It was far more beautiful than the last time I saw it, and its eyes were full of concern, and Dacula stood coldly beside it, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something, and Malthus... At that time, it was standing beside its owner's "love", and its face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what it was thinking... Of course, there are many other demons, some of them died in the Armageddon the next day, some of them disappeared in the long history of Elina and Dacula, and some, such as Malthus, have been living until now, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on the gods, this war between gods and demons has never completely ended...

"We're here, hold on!" I don't know how long it took Maria's words to bring me back to reality, and we slowly landed in a clearing where we had made an appointment with the princess, but I was not sure if I would make it alive when I said this.

"Coo~" After landing, I first learned a few bird calls, which is the joint code we agreed before, but the princess did not appear.

"Well, haven't they been here yet?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"Maybe it's a trap..."Maria said as she looked around vigilantly, saying that after all, she was a battle-hardened "veteran", and her reaction was different from that of ordinary people.

"Probably not, I don't notice any enemies around here." I replied casually that if this was said from the mouth of ordinary people, it might be regarded as a joke, but for me, who was still in the state of the demon king, it was a different matter.

"Be careful!" But I didn't expect to hear Maria's exclamation as soon as I finished speaking, and then she threw me to the ground, and almost at the same time a burst of fire swept directly over us, and if we had been slower than even a step, we would have been charred by this time.

"Damn, what's going on!?" I couldn't help but be anxious and angry.

"Can't you see it? Someone's attacking!" Maria said angrily as she struggled to get up from me, looking at her pained expression, as if she was injured.

"Of course I do! It's just..."

"I just can't believe that someone is sneaking up on you and you won't notice..."Before I could finish speaking, a hoarse and low voice was remembered in the dense forest in the distance, and it was extremely ugly and terrifying, giving people the feeling of coming from the lowest level of hell.

We couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, only to see that the originally dark jungle had become bright at this moment, as if someone had lit a huge bonfire in it, and at the same time a group of black shadows slowly walked out of the dense forest, and the body headed by it was still very huge, two or three times the size of ordinary people, of course, the most striking thing was the pair of huge horns on its head...

"Gragon, King of the Fire Demons!" Maria and I exclaimed almost in unison.

"Hehe, it's rare that you still know my name..."The Sheephorn Demon sneered, and at this point we could clearly see its appearance, which was the most common demon image in religious pictures, with a body like a cow and a sheep, with two legs and knees rushing back, but with two human hands, and as for its face... It's hardly a facial feature, it's just a few huge holes where you can clearly see the flames burning...

"I'm afraid there are few people in this world who know a little bit about mythology and history who don't know your name, right?" Maria said coldly, and at the same time put on a battle posture.

"In that case, are you still going to be my enemy?" Gragon laughed loudly, his tone full of arrogance. But it's not for nothing that it's so confident.,Gragon, one of the seventy-two commanders of the demon race.,Belongs to the "tyranny" of the twelve demon gods.,Its ability is to have the "demonic flame" that can burn all the material in this world.,Its power can't even be resisted by the gods.,In that "Armageddon" that decided the world order, it even burned one of the left eyes of the "god of war" Leo, in the official version of the mythology, it was finally defeated and captured by the gods, and imprisoned in hell with other captured demons, It is said that the eternal flames of hell are caused by it. But judging by the fact that it is now swaggering before us, the official myth is lying again...
