The Twelve Demons of Kuiba

They had been waiting for Quibal to arrive.

They believed that Quibal would come and take his cupola. The old man who had fought with them for many years had crossed half the continent to the Valley of the Ink Cave to retrieve his cupola.

As if it could make a silent summons, it always let Quibal follow the sound to it and hold it in his hand, allowing it to glow with magical power.

Now, the cupola was in the grotto beside them, wrapped in melted mountain rock, like a huge, leftover fruit pit. They believed that one day Quibal would come here and hold it in his hands again.

"But I don't know how Quibal got here." After surveying the surrounding terrain, Co-Traveler Akiraku expressed his concerns.

Aerial reconnaissance of the trapeze thunder light confirmed that they were on an island surrounded by the ocean. The Kiska people judged from the fact that they could not see the normal astrological aspects that this was not anywhere in the terrestrial realm, that is, they were in an anomalous space that was not geological.

"Could it be the world Quibal was born in?" The mind-reading girl Yu Ruoli has always guessed that Kuiba originally belonged to another world, and it was because of accident that he came to the realm to become Kuiba, "He sent us to his hometown, which is his hometown. ”

However, further investigation of the large island refuted the suspicion. This was once an island on the boundary of the earth, and the shape can match the map in Akiraki's hand, and there are still remnants of materials left by the pirates of the Tree Country in the seaside buildings of the Blur Valley, and the manufacturing age marked on it is actually later than the Kuiba 4 era they experienced, the latest being Kuiba 1185.

The inscription says that this altar was built to commemorate the "Misty Petition" incident, in order to recognize the legitimacy of the "Misty Race" race, and has the right to interact with the Demon on an equal footing, Haiwenxiang roughly knows what is going on with the "Misty Demon", because of the discriminatory status of the "Misty Misty" half-race tribe, but she didn't say much.

Qiu Luomu and Qi Heng San agreed that this was a phenomenon caused by geological changes in the subsidence of land islands into an anomalous space. There are no higher creatures on the island except for birds and insects. Bones can be seen in the remains of buildings and in the vicinity, there are no signs of fighting, and all kinds of supplies and food are largely intact, indicating that life on the island was killed during the subsidence at that time, and the cause of death is comparable to the deadly danger of crossing the warped realm.

The existence of one of the giant sea beasts shows that at least there is a warp in the water to connect with the outside world, because that sea beast can survive in the warp realm. Haiwenxiang tried to find the underwater meander, but was unsuccessful.

Soon, Yu Ruoli used some of her mysterious abilities to find a place that seemed to be the entrance to the warp realm, and Qiu Luomu wanted to go in and try it.

For this reason, the twelve demons are divided into two factions with two opinions, one faction believes that Qiu Luomu, as the soul of the twelve demons, should not take risks, even if he wants to experiment, he can send another person.

The other faction, including Qiu Luomu himself, believes that Qiu Luomu, as a former professional traveler, is the most suitable to complete the task of pathfinding, and more importantly, if he successfully reaches the realm, only Qiu Luomu, who has been a merchant and military advisor, has the wisdom to deal with the complex situation he will face and find the clues of Kuiba.

Because the two factions were equal in numbers, the gambler Ran Gu used dice to decide, and the result was to act according to Akirakuki's wishes.

......

There was a long silence.

The Twelve Demons are fully adapted to life on the island, and play to varying degrees according to their respective preferences.

Haiwenxiang was the first to propose to leave the grotto where they lived and go to live by the sea. A shimmering demon wants to live by the water, and there seems to be a good reason, but her companions know that she mainly wants to avoid the Saku people, the kitchen god Okura.

Umi Wenka and Okura were originally very good friends, but they formed a knot in the final battle that was difficult to untie.

Just before Kuibal died, when the Holy Alliance attacked the Lingshan Tower from the ground with the help of the Celestial Spirits, the twelve demons who happened to be in the tower at that time gathered and formed a temporary guard to prepare for the battle. Kaimonka and Okura, as the most combat-capable of them all, were placed at the forefront of the tower foot position.

With the large-scale invasion of the Celestial Flying Formation, Hai Wenxiang saw a large force of the Divine Alliance taking the opportunity to surround from the ground. She decided to take the initiative to attack the river at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and use her advantage in water warfare to destroy the enemy as they crossed the river. So, she asked Okura beside her to guard this position for her, and she went to the water's edge to meet the enemy.

Due to the long riverbank, many enemies, and the attack of the gods in the air defense, Haiwenxiang had a hard time. At a stalemate, Okura appears by her side and helps her defeat the coalition forces. At this moment, they saw that the Lingshan Pagoda had been captured by the enemy, and the initial breach was the position they were supposed to be defending.

They hurried back to the tower area, and the defeat was irreversible. Kuiba summoned the Vein Beast, and in the battle with the Celestials, sent the twelve demons concentrated in the library of the Lingshan Tower into a mysterious passage opened by the Sky Lance, but Kuiba himself did not follow.

"We were supposed to use our lives to protect Quibal, but now it's for Quibal to give his life for us." It was the first time that Kai Wenka said to Okura so coldly.

"I owe you my life, and I'll pay it back." This was the last thing Okura said to Umimika, and the two never spoke again.

When they appear at the same time, there is always an inexplicable depression that spreads from the two of them to the surroundings, making all of them always have an indescribable awkwardness.

With Haiwenxiang gone, she chose a building with a view of the sea at the Mir Valley Pier as her shelter, which was originally a colony for pirates and smugglers, and Haiwenxiang arranged her residence to resemble both a barracks and a boudoir.

The second outlier is Qi Hengsan, followed by a ghostly maniac.

Qi Heng San wanted to set up a device to summon the Kuiba Pulse Beast in an open area, and wanted to verify whether Kuiba and the Pulse Beast were dead. Yumi insisted on going with him, but he didn't agree, but he didn't drive him back either.

The mental problems of the madness are already very serious, and every day he reads words, yells and shouts for no reason, finds fault and quarrels with his companions, and no one gets along with him. Because in the infighting of the Lingshan Army in the dark period in the past, he had mixed with famous villains, and his reputation was not good.

However, Yu Mi Maniac has always regarded Qi Hengsan, who has served as the commander of the theater, as a commander, and still listens to Qi Hengsan's orders, but Qi Hengsan rarely gives him any orders. Qi Hengsan, who had practiced medicine before, knew that Yu Mi Crazy had been crazy since the day he met Kuiba, and everything he did could not be seen by normal people.

"Sir, I know what you're going to do with this old fellow, hahahaha......" Yumi watched Strange Hengsan adjust the device wildly, "I advise you not to do it, you won't be able to stand it, sir." ”

Qi Heng San built his device in the wilderness, which was a simulation of the twelve spatial gates of the Kuiba Beast in the shape of a spiral arranged precisely according to the vertices of the six-pointed star. In this way, he had summoned the Veined Beast for Quibal.

Everything was ready, Qi Hengsan stopped, thinking about his heart for most of the day. Yumimad kept walking around him, saying the same thing to him in different positions, "Don't try, sir. "You won't be able to take it."

According to rumors at the time, the Celestial God invented a mysterious weapon that could destroy the Pulse Beasts, so that the iron law that "Pulse Beasts cannot be killed" was no longer iron, and the news was widely spread to deter Kuibal and all the Pulse Sorcerers who could summon the Pulse Beasts.

In the final battle, judging from the pulse reaction around the sky at that time, Qi Hengsan judged that the gods had obviously used this weapon. It stands to reason that Kuiba's vein beast is dead, and Qi Heng San can't summon it. But why did he try? He saw a detail that he wasn't sure about, and he believed that Yumimad had seen that detail as well.

"Youmi, open the pulse door together." Qi Hengsan was worried that the pulse response would not be sufficient in the different space, and wanted to use the power of the Shadow Mania to make the experiment safer.

"Don't try, sir!" Yumi howled.

"I command you, Yumi, open the vein!"

"Yes, sir." Yumi cried out in pain as he opened his six veins.

Qi Hengsan opened his veins at the same time.

There was a loud bang in the air, and the powerful fluctuations of spatial transformation caused the space between the twelve star positions to suddenly fly sand and rocks.

The huge figure of the Kuiba Vein Beast [Burn] appeared in front of them.

Yumi cried out in frenzy, "You damn old ......"

Qi Hengsan hurriedly made a closing move, causing the Kuiba Vein Beast to disappear into a cloud of black smoke before it could clearly appear.

Everything is understood. Qi Hengsan didn't misread that detail, and Yu Mi saw it with him. In the last moments of his life, Kuiba not only sent away the twelve demons, but also put away his vein beasts so that his veins could escape the fatal blow.

Under the smoke and dust that calmed down a little, the three elders of Qiheng burst into tears.

"One more time, sir," Yumimad looked at Qi Hengsan with a lunatic's idiosyncratic expression, "let me take a good look." ”

What Qi Heng San didn't know was that the mysterious Celestial Weapon was called "Light Potential", which could not only kill the Vein Beast, but also kill all living beings except the Celestial God.
