Chapter 31: Old Dreams and Love (The Male Protagonist Demon King is here, please)

Olympus, at the foot of the mountain, by the lake, Carette's dormitory -

All afternoon, the male and female attendants of the whole palace were busy doing things in silence. They had all learned that the mistress had been humiliated by the Queen of Heaven and the Goddess of Disputes when she went out at noon, so that each of them did not speak except to attend to the business of his own hands, nor did he dare to talk to each other, or to show any expression of joy or sorrow on his face. And in such a depressing, depressing environment, Karet's heart is even more sad.

At night, Carette finally couldn't hold it anymore and closed her eyes in a daze.

It was so tight that it was so quiet that one could not hear the subtle movements of the wind and the insects of the night.

Carette closed her eyes and felt the special tranquility. The consciousness was still there, but she felt a little blurry, as if she was wandering between sleep and non-sleep.

In the fog, she felt a warm but familiar breath, and gently passed through the mansha tent and slowly approached her bed.

No...... No...... How is it possible -

Carette hurriedly opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw him, the clear figure that had not been seen for a long time, sitting on the edge of her bed at this moment, with a deep smile.

“...... Demos ......" called out to the handsome, long-lost countenance.

When I was nervous, I breathed and breathed so much that I had lost my regularity. What I can't suppress is always the hot tears, the taste of longing coming out of my eyes.

"Oh my God...... Demos, is that you? really you...... Oh my God......"

She subconsciously covered her open mouth, not wanting the ugly whimper to be released easily.

She hadn't forgotten that the man in her eyes had been gone for a long time, but what was staring at her at this moment was a sentimental dream or a false illusion?

However, whether it is reality or fantasy, as long as she can see him again like this, she will feel extremely relieved and satisfied.

"I'm sorry, Karete, I'm late and have made you suffer so much......"

Demos's dark night eyes stared at Carette gently, and when he opened and closed his mouth, his voice was still as magnetic as before.

With one arm outstretched, he scooped her into the crook of his arm.

"Demos!"

Carette threw herself into his arms, and thought of what had happened to her at noon, and she wept silently:

"Don't leave me...... Please don't leave me again, Demos......"

Demos put his arms around her and whispered softly in her ear:

"Karete, you've grown up and you're going to be a mother. Protecting yourself and our daughter is your responsibility and your mission. I believe that you will do a good job even if you are alone. ”

"No! I don't!"

Carette shook her head desperately on Demos's chest, sobbing:

"I can't do without you...... Demos, I need you! I can't go without you...... I really don't have the strength to go on......"

Demos hugged her tighter, his tone firmer, and more resolute:

"I am by your side, never leaving! In your body, there is the blood of the dark god, and we have been together from beginning to end. Remember, Carlete, I will stay by your side to protect you and protect our children, no matter what time it is. You're never alone, and you're not fighting alone!"

"But...... But ......"

Demos gently cupped Carette's cheek, his head lowering closer and closer to hers......

His palms were full of warm body heat, and the skin of every inch of his fingertips was so soft and soft.

That's right, it's you! Demos, it's really you, you're back......

Carette felt that Demos was really there at this moment, and her heart began to be excited.

Obediently lowering her eyelashes, she hugged him with her backhand and kissed him inseparably......

When Carette opened her eyes again, she saw that Demos had turned his back to her, standing upright outside the tent.

"Quick, Karetta, go and protect our children!"

He seemed to be urging her, and his voice sounded unusually anxious.

"No, don't go! don't leave me! Demos—"

Kareta was terrified, screaming loudly as she reached out and grabbed at his back—

——

"Demos—"

Kareta screamed and woke up from her dream, habitually trying to sit up from her bed.

But this time it was very peculiar, no matter how hard she tried, her body didn't look like her own, and she couldn't move freely.

Around her, the pressure of the air became eerie, and the pressure became more and more intense, making her breathless and breathing more and more difficult.

By the light of the candle, Kareta saw a black mass directly in front of her vision, twisting and turning into a disc against her.

"Ahh

Kareta screamed, instinctively sensing the crisis.

In the curtain, above her field of vision, there were two golden cold lights fluttering, like a pair of strange round lanterns. At the same time as she screamed, the pair of cold lights suddenly brightened a lot, and it became even more abrupt against the backdrop of the night.

Kareta quickly gathered a source of divine power and launched an attack aimed at the blurred black shadow in front of her.

With a piercing hiss, the mysterious black shadow instantly dispersed from her body and disappeared without a trace.

The body can move.

"Someone—"

Kareta shouted beyond the curtains, intending to summon the vigil's men to capture the abominable assassin.

At this moment, she was actually emboldened, turned over neatly and stretched out her arm, picked up the sword next to the pillow and angrily split the closed gauze tent.

Since she was pregnant, she has become a lot more vigilant, and when she sleeps, she is used to placing a self-defense sword next to the pillow of her right hand to deal with sudden accidents, and she doesn't want this sharp weapon to come in handy today!

The choking smell of blood came to her nose, and as soon as she stood outside the curtain, she was so drunk with the smell that she was sick.

Looking at it, she was shocked.

Outside the tent, the male and female attendants staggered from side to side, all lying in a pool of blood, without signs of life. Countless snakes hovered around them, either bending leisurely through the viscous plasma, or crawling up and down from corpse to corpse from body to body that was as nimble as a rope.

Kareta stared at the hellish sight beneath her feet, and she didn't dare to look at the horrible expressions on their faces, not to imagine what a terrible battle these men had fought with the snakes when she had been immersed in her sleep just now, and how many dead servants there were outside this inner room.

At the moment when Kareta came out of the tent, the vicious snake quickly straightened its soft body, twisted its head towards Karete, and remained motionless, as if waiting for some kind of command, a pair of very cold snake eyes were all focused on her.

Kareta stood on the ground with her sword in hand, not moving. At the moment, she didn't know what the snakes were going to do next, and from the outside, she couldn't be sure if they were ordinary snakes, so she didn't dare to show any flaws easily.

"Whoosh, whoosh" ......

The sound of countless serpents coming in and out, shaking back and forth, was mechanical and numb, filling Karete's ears and filling the ancient temple in the night, especially strange and eerie.

In the confrontation, time passed very slowly, and Carette finally couldn't hold her anymore and decided to strike first.

At the same time as she raised her sword, two pairs of upright snakes suddenly pounced on Karet's side. A pair of sharp teeth could be seen in the snake's mouth that was open to the limit, glowing a terrifying white light between the friction of the air.

Kareta swung her sword at the attacker with a diagonal cross, and in the middle of the night, two cold flashes slashed through them, separating the four serpents from each other.

"Puff, puff"——

The severed strips of flesh fell to the ground one after another, but in an instant they turned into puffs of black smoke, which were absorbed by the marble tiles beneath her feet in the void that Carreta did not fully see, and seemed to burrow all the way into the ground along the cracks of the bricks.

This...... What is this? Is it a delusion?

Kareta was stunned but did not dare to be careless, and two pairs of snakes came one after the other, striking her calves from all sides. Kareta burst into flames, and her sword slammed into the ground, killing three in a single breath. They also turned into flying smoke, obscuring Karet's vision.

At this moment, a snake had already climbed her left foot, and when she turned around again, her smooth body wrapped around her left leg several times. Then the snake's head was raised, and the powerful character opened its mouth and bit her abdomen.

Kareta immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and with a flash of the horizontal sword, the blade cut off the snake's head.

The whole process only happens in the blink of an eye.

It was at this point that Kareta finally understood that these strange snakes were clearly coming for the child in her belly. If that bite on her belly just now, the consequences would be really unimaginable......

The serpents on the ground outflanked her, surrounding Kareta in the midst of her. Stiff and soft, they pounced on her with their mouths wide open, countless snake teeth flashing in the dark night with a chilling starlight.

Karet's expression was solemn, and she raised her eyebrows and frequently danced the long sword of the body, dancing straight out of the fire tree and silver flowers, dotted with stars, which were particularly dazzling in the dark night.

The sharp blade frequently tore through the air, constantly piercing and cutting the approaching body, and the muffled sound of "whirring, fluttering" was endless. Leng Sensen's white-bladed light wrapped in black flying smoke, like a cage net full of sky, drowning Karet's figure.

After swinging her sword for a long time, Kareta did not feel that the number of snakes had decreased, although the smoke that had turned into them became thicker and thicker, but with the breath of the other party, she could completely feel that their numbers were increasing.

How many snakes are there in this palace?

As soon as she was distracted, Kareta felt a heavy pain in her right wrist, as if something had struck her bones out of place, and the only sword in her hand that could be used for defense was completely detached......
