Chapter 14: The Demon King and the Brave
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
A roaring sound came.
The railroad fell, the viaduct collapsed and crushed large swaths of nearby buildings.
After all, this is already close to the edge of the city, so naturally it is impossible to be as empty as before, and there are no other buildings except for traffic roads.
The flames covered the sky, and the fleeing masses panicked to get away from such a catastrophe.
It's just that those who hesitate and those who don't have time to escape, in the face of this series of unimaginable explosions and strange events in daily life, are naturally panicked, and the entire area in the vicinity is inevitably paralyzed.
However, several sirens have already been heard approaching, so it must be that the guards and fire brigade have started to search this area, right?
After all, the area around here is in a commotion as if it has stabbed a honeycomb.
The roads on both sides have been completely blocked, more than a dozen relief vehicles are parked at the scene of the collapse behind them, and countless warning lights add tension to the night scene, but strangely a media vehicle is not visible.
Not only are there traffic blockades, but also news and information are being controlled in real time.
……
……
"Ah, what an abominable ......"
And in the tragic terrain that seemed to be in the middle of the battlefield, the black-haired young man used his hands and feet together, stumbling up the rubble mountain that could collapse again at any time, and his eyes looked anxiously as if he was searching for something.
The embarrassment can't let his mind fluctuate, let alone make him feel that his dignity is insulted or something.
The nature of the devil is destined for him to understand human beings, but he will never be entangled in some things that are not valued like human beings, and he also has dignity or something, but he believes that only by saving his life can he talk about dignity.
- Only the living can become heroes, and those who die are called martyrs.
Masano is now just worried about Shiro Ashiya, who was also bombed indiscriminately, and the smoke and dust around him make him unable to see the other party.
And the strong smell of gunsmoke and blood in the air also made Makoku Sadao feel very bad.
His body was ragged and had multiple wounds, none of which were too severe, but the bright red blood seeped through and dripped into the rubble beneath his feet...... At the same time, something flowed into his body.
The mana seems to be recovering, albeit very slowly, but the speed itself is increasing.
But this change made Makoku Sadao even more confused, this kind of thing that didn't know what was going on, and the magic began to gradually recover, although it was a good thing on the surface, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
Therefore, he doesn't understand the principle, so he doesn't think that this must be a good thing, after all, no matter how good the situation is, it is just a manifestation of loss of control.
Merely......
"Tsk, it's already out of control like this anyway, and it won't be bad no matter how close it is...... Hmm——!! ”
The scalp on the back of his head suddenly went numb, and at the moment when the alarm appeared, the black-haired young man had already rushed forward without thinking, and rolled down the ruin mountain without the slightest hesitation.
Bang!
The next moment, the place where he was standing was covered by a dense barrage composed of magic bullets, and the mysterious firepower that poured down had no merciless meaning, directly bombarding the rubble mountain and collapsing it again.
"Lord Demon King!"
Sadao stood up, feeling that there were a few more wounds on his body, and the hands and arms that had just rolled down to protect his head and face were already bloody at the moment, and the heart-wrenching pain made him almost burst into tears:
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts——! The human body is so fragile! I know that, but I'm still too vulnerable! Bastard! I don't want to die! ”
But soon, he reacted, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from before: "Ashiya! ”
"Please call me Ishel, Lord of the Demons."
The tall figure appeared, and the silver-haired and brown-eyed young man sighed, and then stepped forward to support his demon king.
"Anyway, I feel the power of magic reply, Lord Devil."
"You feel it, too, it doesn't seem to be an illusion." Masakuo sighed, and then shook his hands, it was a miracle, the injuries on his hands and legs healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, only the blood that had flowed from before was still a little terrifying.
This is the basic application of mana, but it can only go so far, because the magic power recovered in a short period of time is not enough to support him to do more amazing things, so it is necessary to deal with his own injuries first.
"Demon King, do you know anything?" The silver-haired young man asked as he quickly searched the surrounding path.
“……”
“……”
"Ashiya, where do you think the gods and demons of this world live?"
The black-haired young man didn't answer positively, but just asked in a serious way.
"This ......"
The answer is...... in the human heart. The human beings of this world are not dominated by gods and demons, and they are easily biased towards gods or demons. The divinity and demonism that human beings manifest in their extreme state are the source of the power we gain from this world. ”
Manoku Sadao nodded, then raised his chin at Shiro Ashiya and pointed to the sky above where nothing could be seen in the smoke.
"Just like Lucifer, he created such a situation, which naturally can cause a large number of people to fall into a negative mood of panic or sadness, so naturally he can draw magic from it."
The silver-haired young man looked shocked: "In this case, if you want to gain enough power to return to Ante Isula......"
"Well, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe! The power that can be obtained from one or two people is nothing at all, and even in the current situation, it can only restore a part of his strength. ”
Makoku Sadao said firmly.
Moreover, although they can also gain magic from such a situation, they are not as sufficient as Lucifer's performance, probably because those negative emotions also have a fairly clear direction!
Because it was Lucifer who caused the disaster, the fear, anger and other emotions of the people who have been affected now are also clearly directed at Lucifer.
Even if they don't know what it is, it doesn't get in the way.
Sadao Maokku and Shiro Ashiya can only absorb negative emotions such as sadness that are not clearly directed at the object, and thus restore their magic. But then it is much less efficient than the other side, unless it can delay time or cause more damage......
However, this seems to be all too normal, because fear is a spiritual force that exists in the human heart that is equivalent to faith, and it is also a part of the aspiration of sentient beings.
For example, it would be a little strange to say that when the believers of one church prayed sincerely, even the gods of other churches would receive a bonus to the power of their faith, wouldn't it?
"Lord Demon King, then we ......"
"I love the world. After becoming a human being, a lot of things seem new and interesting, and I get a lot of help from this world, and I don't want to cause trouble for this world, so I don't want to use this method......"
The black-haired young man said helplessly as he ran.
It's not that he is pretending, and it's not that he has to wait for Shiro Ashiya to seize power a few times before he is ready to reluctantly agree, and then shift all the responsibility to his subordinates, but he really can't make up his mind and make a hard-hearted choice.
The mental structure of Sadao in this world is obviously different from that of Ante Isula. He is the Demon King Satan, but the Demon King Satan is not the real Oku Sadao.
But he remembered it all—
Whether it was his own brutal actions at the time, or his determination to expel all mankind and establish an ideal kingdom where monsters would rule the world, even that will was still clearly engraved in his heart.
It's just why it's so far...... But you don't feel any resistance to integrating into human life?
"But, the Demon King ...... Burst! ”
The sound of piercing the air and a brief moan was heard, and the black-haired youth hurriedly turned back.
I saw that Shiro Ashiya's left chest was pierced by something, and after spurting blood, he staggered forward, and then fell to the ground, and the blood gradually seeped out, staining the ground around him.
"It's a sin to be young, and it's a little thing that can make people so desperate and feel so sad."
A voice full of sarcasm and pity sounded, like a chant, and the fallen angel with dim wings fell from the sky and landed about ten meters in front of the two of them, levitating half a meter above the ground.
Lucifer's wings flapped, and mana bullets rained down.
Sadao Makoku lunged forward, picked up Ashiya, who had fallen to the ground motionless, and then stretched out a palm to block the front, opening the protective wall against the barrage.
The sound of explosions, which was no longer fresh, sounded one after another, and the surrounding power lines, telephone poles, and buildings were also affected, turning into hellish tragic.
When the magic power is not enough to launch a natural disaster-like phenomenal technique, it is the most straightforward to directly use the aggressiveness and lethality of the energy itself. After all, since you can't control the storm and can't start a flood, you can directly use energy to attack......
Isn't that the simplest and most effective way to do it?
"Hahaha! The long-lost sense of destruction after losing to the brave Emilia, I didn't expect it to be so enjoyable! ”
The Fallen Angel laughed wildly, spun around in place several times, and then prepared to launch the next wave of attacks.
However, at this time, a flash of light appeared in the distance, and it had already rushed over in an instant, Lucifer was shocked, and hurriedly rose from the ground into the air, but he was almost slashed through the chest by the dazzling real sword!
“……!!”
A few pitch-black feathers floated down, and he looked at the figure below with a cold sweat on his face—
"Mrs...... It's despicable, Emilia the Brave! ”
Silver hair that shimmered like silk, and red eyes emitted a red glow that pierced through all demons.
The girl, who almost cut off all the fallen angels at an unimaginable speed, burst out with a flash of light in her right hand, and finally turned into the shape of a sword.
She is like a sun that appears in the form of a maiden, dazzling and blazing, pointing at the "target" with a sword entwined with light.
"Lucifer......? Liar, right......? ”
However, she didn't seem to be too calm, on the contrary, now that she saw who her "target" was, she stared at the air and shook her head vigorously as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
"I know ...... Obviously ......"
"Yes, your sword did pierce me, but I'm still standing here." The fallen angel spread his ominous black wings and sneered. "It's all thanks to the help of my new "friend"......"
"New friends?"
Egumi Yusa was confused, but she shook her head to calm herself, then looked at the two of them next to her, and said solemnly: "You guys get out of here quickly, there are people outside to rescue, how about it?" Can you still act? ”
"Uh......"
Picking up the unconscious Shiro Ashiya, Sadao Maokku was speechless.
It seems that the brave man didn't recognize the two of them?
"Don't joke, you can't escape...... Emilia the Brave, where do you think my new "friend" is? Lucifer smiled darkly back.
The girl suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the next moment, a ray of light bloomed behind her, piercing her left shoulder with lightning speed! For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
