Chapter 41 Joining forces with the same interests
"Belans ......"
Artevans had used Berans' disguised name when he was in the Plains of Sepion, but Berance was not a whim of Artevans, but a part of Artevans' full name.
"Always remember your own name...... Atvance? Black? Belance ......
The last words his father left for him, Artevans will always remember, but for twenty years, he can't figure out why his father said it. What is so special about the name of Artfans.
Just as Sheola said his full name, Artevans seemed to understand something, but he wasn't sure.
"I guess you're wondering what 'Berans' means." Theola looked at Artevan's contemplative appearance and couldn't help but show a playful expression, "Artevans? Black? Mr. Berans, our family names are the same."
Without saying a word, Artevans stood up, glanced at Rusa, and silently pushed the door open.
Rusha instantly understood, nodded, turned back into her body, and flew out of the window.
"Then I'll help you, Mr. Artevans." Sheola also understands what Artevans and Rusa are going to do.
She picked up the amulet from her waist again and said, "Devoga, General Eve, the warrior who can defeat the Eye of the Dead, I have found it, you two, please go back to the castle first." By the way, let everyone, don't look at the sky, remember.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory result."
After explaining everything, Sheola looked back at the room, thought for a moment, and then smiled and tidied up the whole room.
"By doing this, you accepted my request to join forces......
————————————
"Rusa, can you put the civilians of the city to sleep?" With a teleportation, Artevans was in the plaza of Dimor, directly below the center of the Eye of the Dead. By this time Dvoga and Iver had already left.
"It's not difficult, but it comes at a cost, ...... I have a request that Lord Artevans accept." Rusa's voice rang in her head.
"Say it."
"Put the populace to sleep...... Please replenish the mental power consumed by me."
"Yes."
After Artevans replied to Rusha, he only waited in the square for a moment, and then saw the surroundings suddenly darken, and he knew that Rusha had made a move, but after a second, a strong feeling of sleepiness instantly came to his heart.
Realizing that he couldn't seem to completely resist Rusa's move, Artevans didn't hesitate, and immediately jumped up and flew in the direction of the Eye of the Dead before the drowsiness completely invaded his body. If he felt drowsy, then it was almost certain that the civilians of Dimore City were asleep.
"Master Artevans, it's done." Rusa's voice seemed to be a little weak.
"Hmm." Atfans replied faintly, and placed his left hand on his chest.
The Eye of the Dead sensed the arrival of Artevans, and the tentacles reached out again.
"Oracle sigils, appear." Artevans attached the magic to his left hand, creating a pull that pulled the already dim oracle sigil out of his inner space.
The imprint was withdrawn, causing Artevans to feel a feeling of emptiness in his body and a sharp pain in his chest, but soon, the feeling was gone.
After pulling the oracle sigil out, Artevans felt a sensation he had never felt before, pure dark power flowing through him. It seemed that without the only remaining obstacle of the oracle mark, the black devil mark emitted an even more intense purple light.
Artevans looked at the oracle sigil on his hand, the fading light proving that it had lost its original function, and the dark aura attached to the surface gradually dissipated as the oracle sigil was extracted. The only thing Artevans could feel was a little bit of the power of the oracle that still existed in the oracle sigil.
Looking up at the tentacles that were already close in front of him, a burst of dark breath erupted from Artevans' body, forcing the tentacles back.
Without the slightest hesitation, he shattered the oracle mark on his left hand with magical power, condensed into a ball of light, and threw it towards the Eye of the Dead.
When the orb of light with the power of the oracle is absorbed by the Eye of the Dead, it instantly releases all the power of the oracle. The eyes of the dead began to twist and tremble, as if they were alive, and they appeared in pain.
Gradually, the Eye of the Dead began to become transparent and faded away, and the dark red sky of the Hellland reappeared before Artevans' eyes. During the whole process, Artevans didn't do much unnecessary things, and the Eye of the Dead didn't explode when it disappeared as Artevans imagined.
With just the remaining energy of the oracle sigil, Artevans wiped out the Eye of the Dead, and the crisis of the demons was thus resolved.
————————————
The savior of the demons, Artevans. This name spread throughout the entire demon clan within a day, and both commoners and nobles knew about his existence.
Of course, with the help of Rusha to put the demon civilians to sleep and Xiola's work in advance, no one knows how Artevans defeated the Eye of the Dead except for Rusha and Sheola, they only know that it was Artevans who defeated the Eye of the Dead, and that's it.
For a time, Artevans became a hero in the minds of the demons, a hero who saved the demons from the brink of extinction.
However, Artevans disagreed, and he cared more about Sheola's promise than honor, and what benefits Sheola could bring him.
Due to Artevans' merits, the Demon King Sack specially granted him the right to freely enter and leave the Demon Castle.
"Tell me, what else do you know about me?" In Sheola's study, Artevans looked at Sheola as she rummaged through the shelves for books and said.
At this time, Rusha was in the inner space of Atvance, sucking the spiritual power of Atvance.
"Artevans? Black? Berans, born in 358 of the Ostia Chaos Calendar, is now 40 years old, converted to a human age of about 20 years old, his father is the Grand Priest of the Genshin Heir Clan, Antros, and his mother is the former Demon Clan's 'Black Temple' High Priest Kaira.
Theola rummaged through the books she wanted and told her what she knew about Artevans.
"My parents met in eastern Sepion, and the two fell in love regardless of racial taboos, and Anteros was later executed by the Divine Heirs. Kayla returned to the Dark Prison and was persecuted after the new Demon King, Sak, ascended the throne.
"Anteros entrusted you to his most trusted friend Siya before he died, but you know these things yourself, and I won't say more. Due to the strength of your parents themselves, and the combination of the genes of the Divine Heir and the Demon Race, you will have amazing power at a young age, but Siya is worried that you will not be able to control this power, so she has set a ban."
"Mother Kayla is a hybrid of the Dark Devil and the Ice Demon, but the Demon can only show the characteristics of one of the races, and you have acquired the inheritance of this trait of the Black Devil. However, due to the ban, your demon core is sealed, so the characteristics of the demon cannot be fully revealed."
"Although the bloodline of the Divine Heir Clan is very strong, there is rejection of the Demon Clan's bloodline. And the bloodline of the god heir clan seems to be very arrogant, and when the two coexist, it will inevitably show the characteristics of the demon race. Siya may have been concerned about this, so he set a ban on you, so that the characteristics of the Divine Heir can be revealed."
As Sheola finished speaking, she also found the book she was looking for and put it in front of Artevans.
"About 'Berans', it's your mother's family name, you can look at this."
Artevans opened the book, which had the same mark on the cover as the demon mark, and looked at it.
"Belans" is one of the oldest surnames of the Demon Race, and it is also the name of one of the ancestors of the Demon Race, symbolizing the power of balance.
Any demon clan with the surname "Berance" will be respected by the clan. Because in the ancient legends of the demon race, the ancestor of the demon race, Berans, with his wisdom and strength, quelled the battle between the early demon tribes, so that each tribe finally achieved unity.
However, the demons who bear the name "Belance" seem to be under a curse, and despite their powerful abilities, most of them die young. No one with this family name has ever been recorded, including his ancestor Berans himself, who lived past the age of 150. Nowadays, the number of demons with this family name is getting smaller and smaller.
After reading these paragraphs, Artevans closed the book, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Is this why you approached me with a plan at the beginning, and finally let me join forces with you."
"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Atfans stared directly at Sheola with a fierce gaze.
"I can't say this yet, and I can't say why I know your past so well, but sooner or later you'll figure it out for yourself." Sheola was not afraid of Artevans' gaze and met him.
The atmosphere became a little oppressive for a while, and Artevans didn't like the feeling of being toyed with and clapped, but Sheola kept him in check.
"By the way, Mr. Artevans, I have good news for you." Theola suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "Because of your merits, I saw hope in my pen and decided to appoint you as the vanguard commander, hoping that you can defeat the Necromancy."
"I'm afraid that's not what Sack meant, but yours." Atfans said angrily.
"There are some things that don't need to be explained." Theola pursed her lips and said in a pretended complaining tone, "Also, I have recommended myself to the pen to serve as a demon strategist and also your advisor to help you defeat the Necromancy."
"Your strength is above mine, why don't you gather your own forces?" Artevans was a little curious, after all, with Sheola's strength and intelligence, this was not a difficult task.
"I like to hide behind the scenes if I don't absolutely need to, and it's not my way to do it myself, so it's my pleasure to work for you. Besides, it's part of my plan.'"
Siola said with a courtesy smile and a slight bow to Artevans.
"Please advise me in the future, Lord Artevans......
