Chapter Forty-Eight: The So-Called 'Grand Duke of Hell' - Angus!! (1\3)

The empty hall can still see the former glory and domineering, the giant swords and battle axes hanging on both sides of the wall, there is still a strong smell of blood on those cold blades, but now these legendary weapons have also fallen with a thick layer of dust, a little more embarrassed.

Angus Fred sat on the throne in the center, on the throne pedestal, with rough strokes outlining all kinds of beasts dancing wildly, there was also an indescribable domineering arrogance in the absurdity, but he could only feel the exhaustion that almost knocked him down completely, it was a powerlessness that rose from the depths of his soul, neither magic nor fighting spirit could expel this exhaustion from his body.

How long has it been?

Three days? Or five days? Or three months?

He pursed his lips, the broad lips were chapped like cracks in the arid earth, flames rising from the depths of his heart, unspeakable desire scorching every cell of him.

"Ali ......"

The desire full of longing in his heart finally overwhelmed the line of reason, he slowly opened his mouth to call, and with a distortion of the space in front of him, a purple-haired girl with a graceful figure appeared in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground, and asked in a humble attitude: "Your Majesty, Honorable Grand Duke, what are your orders?" ”

Angus did not answer, his eyes roamed up and down the girl's body, the Adam's apple shook up and down, and finally slowly opened his lips, as if he had opened up, and said hoarsely:

"Give it to me...... Ali ......"

The girl's body trembled slightly, raised her eyes to look at Angus's eyes full of longing, shook her head solemnly, little by little, and murmured:

"No...... Grand Duke ......"

"Our water, only the last branch is left, you said it yourself, before General Jensen returned from the main plane, the strength of the warriors above the third order, regardless of status or gender, can not drink water, leaving the rest of the water to those who are weak......"

"Jensen......"

Angus muttered, and the slender young man of the Hell Demon Dragon came to mind, who said that he seemed to be able to borrow water from the light rain forest of the Overworld.

I don't know how, but since he said he had an old friend there, there should be no problem, right?

It's just water, after all......

Just water.

Exhaled a breath of turbid air slightly, but even the turbid breath seemed to be as hot as a flame, making him feel a burst of unbearable irritability, his eyes closed slightly, he leaned his solid back heavily against the throne, a slightly cool metallic feeling came, which seemed to relieve the irritability in his heart to a certain extent, his throat shook up and down, and said hoarsely:

"You...... Stand down......"

After a few breaths of silence, he seemed to hear a choked apologetic voice, and then the hall became the only one left again, and in the dead silence, the corners of his mouth pulled out an arc with difficulty, and murmured:

"Excuse me? Really...... I'm sorry for what you say......"

"I should say it, and I should say it......"

His eyes closed slightly, and the burning sensation seemed to become weaker, less unbearable, and he subconsciously pursued such a state, and even his consciousness became muddy as if he had fallen into a viscous swamp.

Faintly, there was a knock on the door in his ears, he opened his eyes a little impatiently, moved his shoulders, and walked outside, his strong arms easily pushed open the heavy wooden door, and walked out of the shadow of the main hall, the sun was rising behind the forest in the east, releasing a warm and bright light in the cloudless sky, the morning breeze caressed his face, brushed his long hair, the birdsong merged into the whispers of the forest, and the melodic murmuring of the brook merged, and the song surrounded the ancient city-state, Drifting into the distance......

"This ...... This is? ”

Just as he was slightly startled, a petite and lovely little girl ran towards him with a wreath of flowers, staring at him with a pair of big bright eyes, and the smile on her face was simple and beautiful, as lovely as the corolla woven from wild flowers.

"Your Highness, this is for you!"

"Well, well, thank you, Edit~"

He laughed and stretched out his hand, grabbing the wildflower that was still with dewdrops, but the tentacles came with an intolerable dry heat, his fingers trembled, the corolla took off his hand, and fell directly to the ground, and then it was like a firewood that had been burned, annihilation turned into ashes, he subconsciously wanted to apologize, but the world around him became dead and silent in an instant, and the white and immature palm of the girl in front of him began to lose moisture, and it couldn't help but become dry......

Angus's pupils shrank, and he took a step forward, but the girl in front of him had lost all his water, and the originally watery eyes were like withered roses, with a dull sadness, and stretched out their hands to him......

"Your Highness...... I'm so thirsty......"

Angus's palm subconsciously grasped the girl's hand, and the girl who had given him the flower crown before was already as light as if there was no water, and she fell weakly into his arms...... The blue sky turned black and red like a volcanic eruption, and huge fireballs fell down on the earth, the animals screamed and died, and the lush ground cracked hideously.

Looking at the scene of great changes in front of him, Angus suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling like nausea in his chest, as if his entire body, including his soul, was twitching in pain, and his face became pale, but even so, his arms were tightly holding the girl who had stopped breathing, and his heroic face was painful and dazed.

"Someone! Someone! Here's a tribesman injured, healer, save her! ”

"Come on!"

Brush!

He was running wildly on the ground like a madman with the girl in his arms, and just when he was almost in despair, the flame light that obscured his vision suddenly dissipated, and his vision became clear again, and his heart was relieved, but he found that in front of him, two figures were holding a child, step by step towards the long river of flames flowing in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted hoarsely and desperately like a drowning man having found a piece of driftwood:

"What are you doing? Ahead, there's magma in front! You're going to die! ”

The hoarse voice came from afar in this lonely environment, and the two figures paused slightly, and then slowly turned around, it was the face he was familiar with, but now there was no longer any heroism or joy on those two faces, he saw only two numb faces, like dead trees in the forest, and the wisps of tears slipped down their faces, ticking on the face of the little boy in his arms, who didn't know what was about to happen, and opened his mouth wide to follow his mother's tears, Little hands waved and patted lightly on the mother's face, giggling weakly and cheerfully.

"You, what are you doing...... If there's anything you can't think of...... And, tell me, you see, I am your future Grand Duke, whatever the problem, I will solve it for you......"

Angus's eyes showed a look of expectation, tentatively comforting the two familiar faces, and the red pupils fell on the little boy's face, revealing a reluctant but sincere smile:

"No matter what, there's nothing wrong with a child......"

"Isn't that right, you at least give me the child, okay?"

He tried his best to persuade him, but the mother just shook her head silently with tears, his heart became a little anxious, and suddenly noticed the two people who were slowly walking towards the back step by step, his eyes were slightly condensed, and without half a minute of hesitation, his figure shot out, and he opened his right hand towards the two and grabbed it.

"I say, stop!!"

Brush!

At that moment, the female clansman with the child in her arms leaped down at the lava behind her, her pupils constricting slightly, and she watched her fingers brush the child's cheek with tears.

Rumble!

The flames in the river of molten melt rose sharply, illuminating his face a little hideously, and the male clansman fell directly to him, his head slammed to the ground, and when he raised his head, he was already in tears.

"Your Highness, we can't drag you down...... New kids, new kids...... I know you're going to give the kids water anyway, we can't drag you down, we can't ......."

"Your Highness, take everyone to live......"

Rumble!

Leaving his last blessing, the man turned and jumped, and the sudden fierce fire light in the molten light illuminated Angus's face, and the surrounding fog completely dissipated, showing a couple holding their newborn child into the magma without hesitation, turning into bright torches.

"No, no......"

"At least, the child is innocent, isn't he...... I am your Grand Duke, and I will protect you......"

Angus stayed in place, his body trembling slightly, and the girl in his arms slowly crumbled at this time, pouring down from the gap in his embrace, and in this veritable hellish scene, the lonely Angus slammed his fist on the earth, and roared in pain—

"No, ah, ah!!"

In the main hall, there was a sudden roar that was almost heartbreaking, and Angus, who had fallen asleep, stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he gasped rapidly, and when he found the familiar scene in front of him, he sat down directly on the throne with a puff, leaning on the throne seat, his heroic face was covered with fine cold sweat, and he murmured in a low voice:

"Did you dream again......

Rumble!!!

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly shook violently, his expression condensed slightly, and there was a slight spatial fluctuation in front of him, and the purple-haired girl from before appeared again, half-kneeling on the ground, with an anxious face and said:

"Your Majesty! There are enemies attacking our world! ”

"Looks like it's a Terran!"

"Terran?! How many are there? ”

"Only, only two, one man and one woman......"

Angus's pupils shrank slightly.
