Chapter 61: Demonization (2-in-1)

Hearing this, everyone's faces sank. In any case, the secret of the heart is discovered, and the heart will not feel good anyway.

Joachim was different. Through the special abilities given to him by the "MONOCULUS", he learned of the existence of a "professor" from the minds of Joshua and Estelle. He had only heard about the story of what happened in Liber before, but the memories of Joshua and Estelle, two witnesses, told him everything clearly.

"Hmm...... It's a pity, but if I had the chance, I might have a great resonance with that "white face". "It can be seen that Joachim really feels quite a pity," his theory is somewhat paranoid...... But it's enough to make people interested. ”

"But he's dead in front of me." Heliga shrugged, "He doesn't want to control more power than he can do, and he wants to use the Supreme Treasure to fulfill his pitiful ideals...... In the end, he could only end up being pierced in the throat and dying with nothing. ”

"Hmm...... This is even more surprising. Joachim turned his gaze to Helika, who was barely affected by the Magic Eye, and even the memories he wanted to read seemed to be veiled, "You...... What the hell is ......?"

"Your little tricks are out of your way. You're already at the end of your crossbow...... If you don't come up with some killer ideas, you'll die in no time. "Heliga could tell that Joachim was already exhausted. Since the MONOCULUS appeared in mid-air, although Estelle and the four members of the Support Section were firmly restrained, at the same time, the mafia that had been manipulated and the few ancient magic weapons that were still left were frozen in place because they had lost Joachim's command.

"Hmph, I don't need to say I'll use it too. My last trump card! As he spoke, Joachim pulled out a small vial from his bosom, "This is the finished product of True Knowledge—"

"This is not what you took out in the hospital that day—" Helliga recognized the remnants of the pale red in the bottle, which Joachim had almost drunk when he forced his way away from the hospital under the threat of the hospital, but now the vial was empty, "how is it empty......

"Just a few minutes ago, it was still full of ......" With Joachim's somewhat frantic voice, his entire body suddenly began to mutate on a very large scale, and an unprecedented miasma filled the entire space, "After the little rabbit cub of the support department attacked me just now...... I relied on the smoke and miasma in the sky to cover and secretly took the medicine! ”

"It's calculated......" Lloyd was shocked. However, it was too late to react again. As the miasma filled, an eerie sense of oppression returned—and with an eerie wail, Joachim went from a normal human being to a monster. The well-maintained fingers had turned into sharp claws capable of tearing apart stones, and several short wings with strange shapes had grown on the chest and back, with a huge single horn on the head and a wild scarlet glow in the eyes. This posture is probably no different from that of the legendary demon.

The blue-purple body stretched wantonly, like a beast that had just come out of its cage to test its body. With its movements, with the cooperation of the "Demon Eye" that had not yet dissipated, a spiritual fluctuation struck again, accompanied by the roar of spiritual pressure.

"Haha...... It feels so good, and now I really understand the true ...... of the world" The vocal organs have been completely mutated, and Joachim expressed his joy in a vague tone, "The limits of human beings...... The truth about Kia-sama's disappearance...... The fate of Crossbell and the Erebonian Empire...... All ......"

"I'm curious, what is the future fate of the Erebonian Empire?" Heliga stared at Joachim, who had become a demon, and did not dare to slack off in his heart. The so-called "spiritual pressure" displayed by Joachim today far exceeds that of ordinary existences, although it is not as good as when Wiseman and the Ring of Radiance fused, but at least it is almost the same in terms of pure power level. In addition, now this complex terrain is a home advantage for this beast - the time and place are favorable, and it can be said that there is no advantage on his side.

"Hah...... You who messed up everything were arranged...... It turned out to be a fusion of foreign forces from another world. Joachim the Devil glanced at Helika, "I don't understand the language...... Unintelligible text...... No wonder there is no trace. ”

"This guy ......" Heliga's heart sank, Joachim in this state was actually able to peek into his innermost memories? At the moment, I have raised my vigilance a little.

"It's okay...... Anyway. Even though he was no longer human, the arrogance and anger in Joachim's tone could still be heard by Heligah, "You take your secrets with you...... Let's go to the grave together! ”

Joachim's claws, with incredible speed and force, pinched into Heliga, who was standing in place. The speed and action were so fierce that Theo and Ellie, who had no combat ability, almost exclaimed in surprise - in their eyes, there was basically no way to react to that kind of action speed.

However, Lloyd showed a thoughtful expression, and Randy, Estelle, and Joshua showed a look of surprise at that moment. In the next moment, the reaction of the companions was answered: the familiar golden flame once again bloomed with dazzling light.

A second before noticing Joachim's movements, Helriga unfolded his "Dragon Form" without hesitation - an opponent he thought could be easily defeated, but he didn't expect to become such an amazing guy. Needless to say, even the memories of Heliga's self-thought that they would not be seen through were partially known by that guy.

Such an existence is also very dangerous in a sense. Having finally realized this, Helriga finally showed some real strength to confront Joachim.

The miasma wrapped around the giant hand turned into nothingness under the ablation of the golden light flame, and that palm was also kicked away by Helriga very simply, making a loud "boom" sound.

In the next second, a touch of blue crossed a graceful arc in the flying dust. Heliga pursued Joachim as quickly as he could, and with a touch of it—

"No effect...... It's no wonder that after the demonization, Joachim's skin has turned into some kind of hard shell. On weekdays, the frosty fighting qi can easily freeze the blood veins of the human body, thus hindering the circulation of the fighting qi of the powerful. Without the protection of vindictiveness, the human body is like tofu that can be easily cut. Even in the face of a vehicle made of metal, the change in the properties of the metal caused by the extreme cold can cause the power mechanism to be cut off at once. But Joachim, who no longer knows what the skin is made of, can easily defend against such a blow.

"Roar!" Although he was not physically harmed, the feeling of blow was clearly felt by the demons. He yelled angrily, his fingers together, trying to pinch Heliga.

Heiliga is also unambiguous. Since "Cold Crack" is not very useful, what can you do without weapons? With one hand, the blade was hung back on his waist, and in the other, the huge amount of magical energy had begun to condense. Since the snow from the snow throat didn't work for him, what about the red flame from hell?

The cyan and red magic energy were released together, like a warrior who cooperated tacitly, tearing apart the skin of Joachim's hand little by little. The cyan arc made Joachim's entire arm crackle, and with the input of high-voltage electricity, the incomparably hard looking skin was torn apart little by little, revealing the flesh that seemed to be still stirring inside. Then, the flames came, burning the scorched body tissue to a scorched black.

The demon let out a scream of rage and jerked his arm back. The ablated wound, the outer layer of coke was peeled off little by little, and the shocking burn was already covered by the granulation that I had just seen.

"There's a play." Heliga's eyes lit up, and the magic could still cause damage to Joachim. The opportunity must not be lost, and when the opportunity is made, Haliga made a vertical leap, jumped onto a slightly higher platform, and then pinched his hands and muttered words in his mouth. As he moved, circles filled with demonic energy and shimmering light formed in the air—followed by a sonata of lightning chains and balls of fire, rushing towards the demonized Joachim.

In an instant, the air seemed to boil - under the continuous blows of magical energy, even Joachim, who had taken "True Knowledge", could only hold his head and shrink back on defense at this moment. At the same time, he had to manipulate the miasma and transform all his power into the defense layer on his back, so as to support it and wait for the moment when the boy's energy was exhausted.

In the process, the tide of the battle took place with other subtle changes. With all his energy to focus on confronting Haliga, Joachim's "MONOCULUS" was no longer able to sustain itself, so the support section and the guerrilla duo had long since regained their normal mobility. But at the same time, due to the huge "spiritual pressure" brought about by Joachim's arrival, the energy in the entire space has increased significantly, and those members of "Lubacher" who have just lost their spiritual connection with Joachim and collapsed in place have also begun to act slowly. However, due to the lack of unity of command, they only acted on instinct, and they were much weaker - although they were still not easy to deal with.

No words are required, and no additional communication is required. As Heliga went all out against the Majin Joachim, these companions became his strongest support. Estelle's long stick wielded, Joshua's twin knives flickered—the two of them embraced the guerrilla philosophy of not killing any life if they could—and even after such "contamination", they would probably no longer be able to turn back into normal humans.

"We can't lose either." Seeing this, Lloyd waved his hand and led his companions to join the ranks of the two guerrillas. The crutche-wielding Lloyd was like an impregnable wall, firmly entangled several mafias, and with Lloyd's precise containment, Ellie was able to accurately penetrate the stun bomb into everyone's vital parts. Although "True Knowledge" blocked most of the drug's effects, the movement of these people was further slowed, allowing their companions to find their weaknesses more easily.

"They're already ......" Randy instinctively brandished his axe gun, the blade almost ripping the neck of a mafia, but stopped as he watched his companions' movements.

"Wait until Joachim is defeated...... There may be hope. Tio still had one last glimmer of hope, and as a victim of True Knowledge, she didn't want these people to be hurt like this again...... Even if they are the most vicious mafia. In the face of such a Theo, Randy could only smile bitterly and replace the attack with the back of an axe that did not kill.

"Damn...... Damn it! The demon Joachim let out an angry roar, but there was nothing he could do about it. The barrage was like a curse of judgment, sticking Joachim firmly to the ground, breathless. And the sharp pain from behind him also made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

- If you continue like this, you will be consumed. Joachim thought about it and came to this conclusion. This is the power of the "Ring of Radiance" to give up three points - even if he had two masters and the Mystic Staff to help him at that time, it was in a head-to-head duel, with the strength of his strength, he forcibly broke the "Angel" form of Wiseman. Now the gap between himself and Wiseman at that time is obviously greater than those two superb strength. You can't do it without fighting – even if there is little hope, you have to do it.

At this moment, Joachim finally woke up a little from the powerful power of "true knowledge", and began to seriously think about the gap between the two, and at the same time regretted whether his actions were too rash. If you knew that such a person existed, and that he was destined to be your enemy...... If you could have known about this powerful force earlier, and then made corresponding solutions......

I'm afraid the result will be completely different...... Even through the vision of the future provided by "true knowledge", I have clearly foreseen "the end of everything...... But now think about it, those endings...... It seems that nowhere else does the presence of this teenager be.

Someone who shouldn't have been here - just so easily ruined what he had painstakingly run for so many years.

And that person...... The woman who is actually secretly manipulating herself......

When it's all over, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to find her and ask for an explanation...... No, it's better to say...... I wouldn't have realized that I would find her existence with a "questioning" attitude-

Under Heliga's strange gaze, Joachim actually stood up in the face of a hail of bullets.

Then—the miasma in the sky sank suddenly under Joachim's movements.

At the same time, Joachim made a startling move.
