Chapter 61: The Awakening of Darkness
The air in the Demon King's Hall seemed to freeze to the extreme, and Sack slowly lowered his head, looking at the chest pierced by Artfans's left hand, his face mixed with indescribable emotions.
"Are you...... When did you start ...... As a demon king, of course, Sark's magic core will not be so vulnerable, but since the heart has been pierced by Artevans, the magic core has been irreversibly damaged, and Sark can only live for another five minutes at most.
"Presumably, from the time I destroyed the Eye of the Dead." Artevans knew what Sack was up to, and at this point, he might as well tell Sack everything.
Tyke bit his lip and turned his head to look at Siola, who looked like she was out of the way.
"Your Majesty looks at me like this, and you can't change the facts. If you're asking me exactly when I first had the idea of rebellion for you, it would have been from the beginning, but I want to correct that it wasn't rebellion. Now, I can finally see what I was expecting."
Sheola's words have been made clear, meaning that she has never had any loyalty to Sack from the beginning, and naturally there is no rebellion, everything is just to achieve her plan.
Sack also understood everything, Sheola had always wanted to die, and Artevans was just part of Sheola's plan, but it was because of the appearance of Artevans that Sheola's plan came true ahead of schedule.
"Why?" Sack seemed a little unwilling, after all, Sheola's performance in front of him was so perfect that he couldn't find even the slightest thing wrong with Sheora from his memories.
"I'm a member of the Black Temple, and I've been raised by Kaina-sama. My project started a few years ago. Sheola gave Zac a subtle expression.
As if he understood something, his eyes widened and his lips trembled.
"You...... Necromantic ...... Kaina ...... Sack connected the events of the past few years and finally came to a conclusion.
But he couldn't say it after all, Artevis's left arm remained in Sack's chest, and his right hand had gathered a black blade at some point, cutting off Sack's tongue.
"Can you not ignore me, I am the one who will replace you." Artevans couldn't help but have a happy and evil expression.
(I can't get my power, and you don't want to!) )
Unable to speak, the last remaining thoughts of Sark were still there, his gaze becoming fierce, and his hands gripped Artevans' left arm tightly across his chest. All the magic in his body was mobilized to his chest, and he wanted to die with Artefans.
Artevans immediately discovered what Sack was trying to do, but Sack's magic was already stuck to his left arm, and an inexplicable feeling of weakness spread from his left arm to his body. Looking at the purple light flickering in Sack's chest, Artevans knew exactly what Sack wanted to do.
Sheola on the side took a step back, he didn't plan to help Artfans, but quietly watched what Artevans would do.
(Come on, Artevis, how are you going to get rid of me.) )
Sack was making his last struggle.
But he soon felt surprised, Artevis's face was not as anxious and angry as he thought, on the contrary, Artevans's eyes were only lust and madness.
"That's a tough one, but your majesty, you seem to be underestimating my determination." Artevans glared at Sack with his utterly mad eyes, his right hand resting on his left arm.
"In this way, you can't help me." Artevans' right hand surrounded the dark power, and with a single force, he forcibly tore off his left arm.
Atfans, who had lost his left arm, just gritted his teeth, and there wasn't even a hint of pain on his face. Without hesitation, he placed his right hand on his severed arm, infused with dark power.
Sark's self-detonation was not cast, and before the concentration of mana reached a critical point, Artevans used his severed left arm as an energy medium to inject his own energy into Sark's body, destroying Sark's magic core along with his left arm.
Zac truly died the moment the core was destroyed, and the unreleased magic gradually calmed down.
"Sark's energy is huge, and he's a dark devil just like you, so if you absorb his energy, your ban can be completely opened." Sheola, who was silently watching all this, couldn't help but be amazed by the courage of Artevans.
"Sheola, I remember that in the demon race, there is a forbidden technique that can transform a huge amount of energy into a part of one's own body and convert it into a new ability, right?" Artevans vaguely remembered that he had seen this forbidden spell in Sheola's study.
(Transform Sark's energy and soul into a new arm, and at the same time, Sark will be imprisoned in your body forever, unable to enter the reincarnation of the World Tower.) Lord Artevans, I may be far behind you in some ways. )
Sheola sighed inwardly, and was satisfied that she had really found the right person.
"Yes, Kaina-sama, you should know how to use that forbidden technique." Siola said, turning to look at Kaina, who was standing by the door of the main hall.
The two necromantic generals brought by Yaktri were eliminated by Kaina at the first time, and she also saw all this when she returned to the Demon King's Palace.
(You have to admit, Sark, you can't fight these two kids.) )
"You were personally cultivated by me, and I still understand your character, so I'm afraid I can't refuse this situation." Kaina sighed, muttering a strange incantation before snapping her fingers.
In an instant, Sark's body, along with his energy and soul, condensed into a bead of black mist, levitating in front of Artevans.
"You should know how to do it." Kaina only left these words, and left the Demon King Palace.
Although Kaina didn't think much about Sack's death, she chose to avoid seeing the people she had known since childhood end up in this situation.
Without any hesitation, Artevans caught the bead surrounded by black mist and sent it into his mouth.
The moment the bead entered his body, an unbearable burning sensation came from his chest, and the energy flowing everywhere seemed to explode Atvance's body. Artevans tried to control the raging energy, but the more he mobilized the original magic in his body, the more intense the burning sensation became.
Click.
It was as if he heard a shattering sound in his heart, and in an instant, all parts of his body burst open, and blood splattered. The pain was so intense that Artevans fell to his knees.
Just as Artevans was about to lose the intense energy, a soft coolness spread throughout his body, and he began to freeze his body.
"Sheola?" Artevans felt Sheola put her hands on her shoulders and wanted to look back, but was stopped by Sheola.
"You can take a nap and I'll take care of the rest." Sheola's voice was very gentle, different from what she was used to.
"Am I still in your hands by this time?" The pain dissipated a bit, and Artevans said helplessly.
"No, it's not me who controls you, but you can never escape the guidance of fate, but I will do my best in my life to help you." Sheola caressed Atvance's back, staring at the half-mark on Atvance's back.
Artevans also gradually lost consciousness in this gentle coolness.
————————————
In the inner space of Artevans, the prohibition imposed by Siya has been completely broken, the sealed dark power continues to pour out, and the magic core of Artevans has also been revealed. Because the ban was broken, the magic core and the magic imprint were combined together, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
"I'm finally able to get out of this damn forbidden!" The black mist that had been guarding the core of the Atvance seemed to be very happy.
"I didn't know what you were before, but now, I seem to know perfectly." Atfans, who had been sleeping in the past, condensed his consciousness into an illusory image that appeared in his inner space.
"I'm you. I am the part of you that was sealed, and now that I have come out of this forbiddenness, you will become the whole you.'" The black mist said in a very respectful tone, then dissipated, merging into the various parts of Atvance's body.
From now on, Artevans, is complete.
————————————
"Complete...... Is it?'
I don't know how long it took, but Artevans opened his eyes again, and Theola fell asleep on the steps of the Demon King's Hall due to exhaustion. Atellance looked at his left arm and saw that it was no longer flesh. His new left arm was a completely arm-shaped energy, and this energy was constantly flowing.
Atvance tried to move, and found that the new left arm, except that it was not flesh in appearance, was basically indistinguishable from a real arm.
At the same time, Artevans felt that his eyes had changed. The demon bloodline of Atfans has been fully awakened, and his pupils have become the demon eyes belonging to the demon race. Knowing all these changes in himself, Artevans finally released his joy.
Wild laughter echoed in the Demon King's Palace.

Ramas Forest, Pano Village, Church of Siya.
"Finally, has it come to this point...... The shattering of the prohibition, Siya felt it at the first time, he sighed helplessly, and looked in the direction of the Cole Mountains.
"Master, what's wrong?" Talia asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little bit about the changes in people and things." After the helplessness, it is relief, and Siya has accepted the reality. He knew that the real Atellas had awakened.
But there are many things in front of him, and Siya has no time to take care of the situation of Artevans.
Roat, who was on the side, also showed a trace of doubt at first. But looking at Siya's expression, he seemed to understand.
(The ban seems to have been shattered.) Brother Atfans, I'm so happy for you, and I'm really looking forward to the day when we meet again, and you'll definitely get stronger. )
