Chapter Twenty-Three: The Stars and the Gods
The star spirits descending from the light exude a gentle magic that resists the flames of destruction before the demon god's breath can be extinguished. And the one who accomplished this feat was none other than the Ursa Major star spirit, who has always been mysterious: Calistto.
This time she was finally no longer hidden in the fog, and the bright light gradually dissipated, revealing her true face. She was naked, but her limbs and vital parts were covered with thick fur, her ears were also animal-shaped, and the hair extended from the earlobes to her cheeks, but her eyes were clear and clear, and her body exuded a primitive and wild beauty, and almost from the moment she appeared, every male who saw her rose from the bottom of his heart a desire to conquer.
Calistto glanced at Renault, who had fainted to the ground, with a slight emotion in her expression.
"Even if you fill part of it with your own strength, but you can summon me in this state, I'm afraid you kid has paid a lot of price, rest well, kid, and then, leave it to me."
"Which bastard is bullying my child, the old lady is now officially informing you, wait for death!"
Callistto threw her head back and roared, the murderous aura on her body was even more terrifying than that of the Demon God.
The air seemed to stand still, leaving only the fierce Demon God and the glittering Star Spirit staring at each other.
The two glared at each other for a moment, and Calistto suddenly showed a strange expression.
"I said why did I smell a familiar smell from afar, it turned out to be you, the stupid son of the fire demon, don't you stay in the abyss purgatory and run out to scare people?"
Callisto floated in the air, her eyes squinting slightly, staring at the angry Demon God, her petite body was less than half of the Demon God, but the momentum she exuded was not to be underestimated.
This is...... An existence of the same level as that horrible guy?
The people present heard the conversation between the two spirits in the confrontation, and they all looked at Renault lying in Qiao's arms, with complicated expressions, it turned out that this kid still hid this power?
And the two guys in the center of the battlefield didn't have time to consider other people's opinions, and after the god of calamity saw the person clearly, the burning pupils suddenly became even hotter, and the eyes looked at the wild beauty on the opposite side aggressively.
"Calisto, it's you! It's been a long time since I saw you, but it's a pity that you were so beautiful before. ”
"I've forgotten what I used to be like, and I like the way I am."
"Yes, our time has passed, and the old people have disappeared into the dust of history, and some have ascended to heaven, just like you; Some went to hell, like me! ”
The demon god pointed at himself, and the emotions hidden in his tone were moving.
"Since you understand this and have made a vow, why do you want to come again now? Here, it doesn't belong to us anymore. ”
"yes, why...... Why? The flames in the Demon God's eyes twitched, as if he was confused, "Probably...... Don't be reconciled! Why, this is originally our world, you and I, and our brothers and sisters, we jointly dominate this world, these mortals can only submit to our feet, and their fate is in our hands! ”
"But now we can only watch as they waste this world, tarnishing the glory of the Mother Goddess with their small, vile souls! Why! ”
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and the flames that erupted around him scorched the land into a billowing stream of lava.
"Yes, humans are small and weak, but they have turned our world upside down! So, accept it, Actos, we failed! ”
Callistto stated calmly, without a single fluctuation in her emotions.
"Moreover, I think they manage this world well, at least, better than we were at the beginning! How ridiculous the previous Divine Court was, you don't know it! Our great gods are arbitrary, and the noble queen is nothing but a jealous woman, and the gods claim to be noble, but they mercilessly punish those who 'offend' them or weaker gods, just like me! ”
Calistto pointed at herself, an undercurrent churning in her crimson pupils.
"Even so!" The demon god roared, "We are gods too! God's dignity is inviolable! ”
"You're still like this," Calisto's tone was full of disappointment, "and it seems that the abyss can't make you recognize yourself either. ”
The demon god suddenly laughed wildly, and his laughter was extremely arrogant: "Recognize yourself? Ha, you have recognized yourself, so now you have to be dominated and enslaved by mortals! But behold me, I dominate mortals, and they give their souls and bodies to me just to pray that I will fulfill their pitiful wishes, and that's the difference between us! ”
Calista was furious: "We are not dominated by anyone, the star spirits abide by a fair contract, we have only one difference, we have our own rules, and you have no bottom line!" ”
"I see that you have been enslaved for too long and have forgotten your posture as a god, let me help you and free you from those ridiculous contracts, believe me, you will thank me then!"
After saying that, the demon god roared and rushed towards the unconscious Renault, although his body was huge, his movement speed was not slow at all.
Calistto also let out a bear roar, and her body slammed into the demon god, and her petite body contained great power, knocking the huge demon god to the side.
She turned back to the rest of the humans and yelled, "Are you guys idiots? The old lady has been talking to him for a while, you are still here, what do you want to do! Watching a play? ”
She turned around and punched again, knocking down the demon god who had just gotten up, and then shouted without looking back: "Take the silly boy and your friends out of here, the current state of the old lady can't be delayed for long, don't waste any more time, leave quickly!" Get out of this village! ”
Joe, who was also a tried and tested mercenary, was particularly resolute in such moments, and he picked up the muddy Hill, and then clamped Renault under his armpit, and with the last of his strength, he ran out of the village without looking back.
The other mercenaries also ran on their own, using their own fastest way to evacuate with their surviving comrades.
They didn't dare to stop for a moment, and ran out of the kilometer in one breath.
It wasn't long before an earth-shattering roar came from behind them, and the sound contained a bone-eating hatred that was still terrifying even from a distance of a kilometer.
"Callisto, don't waste your efforts, you can't stop us, no one! The end is coming, and glory will return in the end! ”
"What do you want to do, you're crazy! It's in vain, no, don't do that, don't!! ”
Suddenly, there was a light in the distance, pure light, like a star falling in front of me, without any sound or image, and the world was left with only that light at this moment.
After that, everything was silent.
The mercenaries looked up blankly and looked at each other, but they couldn't speak any words. The polar day was followed by a long night, as if something was going to swallow them up.
Finally, a moment later, the golden morning sun slowly floated in the east.
The world seems to be reborn.
……
Fifteen days later, the city of mercenaries - Oftori
"Is that kid still not awake?" Hill removed the bandages from his body and asked Joe, who was washing the towel beside him.
"No, there hasn't been any movement since that day, and if it weren't for the sugar water, I suspect he's dead." Joe put a wet towel over his face to relieve the fatigue of staying up late.
"Also, it's a miracle that you're still alive with an injury like that, after all, it's the injury that's what hurts." He pointed to his head.
"Anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen you take care of someone so diligently, and with your identity, it's too condescending to do this kind of thing."
"I was saved by someone, and these are as they should be."
"It's so unpleasant," Hill stood up, stretching his back, "I was saved by the stinky boy." ”
Joe gave him a blank look and didn't speak.
"That thing...... What exactly? Hill thought back to the thrill of that night, and his face was full of sighs, "We escaped from that thing, enough for me to blow for years." ”
"However, it can summon a star spirit that can fight against that thing, that kid, it's not ordinary."
Joe turned around, his face full of relief, and he raised an eyebrow at Hill, "Still questioning my decision?" ”
Hill was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and grimaced at Joe: "When he accepted the mask, he didn't know anything. ”
"It doesn't matter, I'll make him willing."
He looked at another building not far away and muttered, "Anyway, wake up, silly boy." ”
