Chapter 14: The Long-Horned Demon
The leader of the sand thieves, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly spread his arms and said in a very respectful and flattering tone: "Great Demon God, I am your loyal and humble servant Kasende, and I am calling you to come. I have prepared a sumptuous offering for you, so please enjoy it to your heart's content!"
The horned demon's gaze finally fell on the leader of the sand thieves, Kasend, and said with satisfaction, "It was you, lowly human, Kasend, I still remember you. Very well, now offer your sacrifice. ”
"Yes, yes, great Daedric!" Carson hurriedly beckoned to his accomplices, and the sand thieves lifted a dwarven girl who was crying in fear, walked to the fire, and threw it into the flames without hesitation.
The painful and miserable screams of the dwarven maiden resounded throughout the underground square. A hideous smile appeared on the Horned Demon's face, "Haha, soul, delicious soul! Death, torment, pain, torment in the eternal flames of hell!
The dwarven girl's screams of struggle faded down, and she was burned alive. The Horned Demon opened his eyes with great satisfaction and said, "Ah, what a supreme delicacy! Tell me, lowly mortal Kasend, what do you want this time by offering a sacrifice?"
"Ah, great Demon God, it's a great honor for you to enjoy this offering. In fact, my humble request is for greater power and eternal life, so that I can serve you even harder, my honorable Demon God!" Kasende begged as he knelt on the ground.
"Bold! lowly race, how dare you dream of eternal and endless life, what ridiculous and arrogant creatures!" the Horned Demon rebuked angrily, "Do you know what the price of eternal life is, Ants!Of course, if you can continue to offer more sacrifices, we will consider it too!mortals! You still need more effort to prove your loyalty, continue your infinite loyalty to the ashes of chaos! Now I can only fulfill your other request, I can give you more power!" As he spoke, the Horned Demon raised his arm, and a black aura shot at Kasende on the ground, teleporting the dark magic to him.
"Thank you, thank you, Great Demon God!" Kasende finished with a flattering face, then turned his head and reprimanded his accomplices viciously, "You guys, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you continue to offer sacrifices to the Great Demon God!" At the leader's order, the sand thieves hurriedly lifted more of the tightly bound dwarves and threw them into the fire at the feet of the horned demon one by one.
"Ah, good! O delicious soul, accept the torment of this endless hellfire! I want more! more! hahahaha!" The Horned Demon's wild laughter resounded throughout the underground plaza, and Linya, who was watching the tragedy, finally broke down, "Ahhhh
"Princess, Your Highness the Princess!" Suzanne quickly shook the little princess from the nightmare, her face turned pale, and it was obvious that she had gained the ultimate in fear.
Cruel, bloody, inhumane! Linya couldn't imagine anyone doing such a terrible thing! The previous scene, of the dwarves being thrown into the fire one by one, kept flashing through her mind, and fear took over her entire body.
Her body was trembling, her teeth were trembling, and Linya was so scared that she couldn't even say a word. But she soon felt that Suzanne was hugging her tightly, it was her strong embrace, so warm, so warm, so safe, that her heart had a place to lean on.
When Suzanne saw that the little princess had woken up, she did not speak again, but just hugged her tightly. After a long time, Linya, who had recovered from her fear, finally raised her head slowly, and her eyes became extremely determined. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said in an unquestioning tone, "Sister Susanna, you come with me. ”
The situation in the dream just now could never be fictional, and she believed that there could be no such real dreams in the world. The scenes in my mind can never be imagined by myself.
Linya recalled the dream, and soon found the entrance to the underground plaza, but it was now buried in the sand. Linya didn't say anything, crouched down and began to pull the sand with her hands little by little. Suzanne didn't say anything, and hurriedly squatted down to help. Having been with the little princess for so long, she certainly knows when to talk and when not to speak, when to ask questions and when not to talk too much. Like now, if the little princess wants to say it, she will take the initiative to say it.
The pile of sand and gravel was quickly removed, and the decaying wooden door was pushed open, revealing a dark passage inside. It was still the middle of the night, and the wind was blowing, and the depths of the passage were even more eerie. Linya knew what was in it now, and an unspeakable sense of fear drove her to retreat and flee, but another voice in her heart encouraged her to walk in bravely.
If you run away, you'll always be a little girl who doesn't grow up.
You can only really grow up if you walk in.
I'm not a little girl! I'm an adult, I'm a man, I'm so powerful, I'm a demigod, how can I be afraid of the devil? No, they should be afraid of me!
Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, Linya will be afraid that it is normal, after all, she is a little girl who grew up in the gentle township, but you are an adult man!
If everyone is afraid of this evil devil and dare not destroy it, it will continue to do evil and harm the world! If even Xiao Yuan, who has such great power, is afraid to retreat, who should you expect to destroy it?
After a tough inner battle, Linya finally convinced herself. She took a deep breath and prepared to walk into the passage of the black hole. But Suzanne grabbed it. "Your Royal Highness, let me go ahead. It seemed that the little princess was determined to go in, and Suzanne simply gave up persuasion, but she could not put the princess's safety at risk.
Linya nodded, and Suzanne found a few pieces of dry wood, made a torch and lit it, took Linya's hand, and walked in carefully. Fortunately, I walked all the way to the underground square and there were no accidents. Suzanne held her torch aloft, and the square was silent and messy, apparently no one had been here for a long time.
Linya looked around, and the scene in her dream proved the reality of everything even more. She mustered up her courage and walked in the direction of the Chaos Ash Circle that summoned demons.
The evil circle was still there, the blood stains had long since solidified and dried up, and the ashes that had been burned violently were still piled up there, and the bones of some dwarven villagers who had not been completely burned could be faintly seen. The tragic scenes in the dream resurfaced, and Linya's heart almost exploded like a blazing flame.
But she held back. "Sister Suzanne, help me find some wood and fuel and the like. ”
Ten minutes later, the fire in the Ashes of Chaos circle ignited. Linya suddenly reached out and pulled out Susanna's dagger, and in Susanna's confusion and exclamation, she swung the dagger and slit her left arm, dripping blood into the fire. Then she pondered the situation in her dream, and softly recited the spell that summoned the Horned Demon.
"Halmis Mika, hello, hey, Rhnoikadena Kuma......"
Suzanne held Linya's severed arm, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. "Princess, what are you doing, if you need blood for a magic ritual, you can use mine!" Linya shook her head and said, "Thank you, Sister Susanna." But this time, I had to use my own blood. I had to feel the pain firsthand to truly understand the pain of those innocent people and the grief of losing their lives. It's only through pain that people grow up faster, don't they?"
The flames in the circle became more vigorous, and Linya began to feel the dark demons seeping out of the ground and gathering in the center of the circle. The flames began to turn black, and the smoke was shifting. Eventually, the horned demon appeared in the center of the circle, as expected. When it opened its eyes, it saw no offerings for sacrifice, only two young female humans. It exclaimed, "Humble mortal, why summon me without making an offering? That is an unforgivable sin! Foolish fellow, are you going to sacrifice your life and soul to me?"
Linya looked up head-on into the horned demon's eyes filled with dark flames, not flinching or giving in. Her gaze was also filled with flames, the flames of hatred and anger. "Yes, you wicked devil, do you want my soul, then it's up to you to take it!" Linya scolded angrily, summoning the Sword of Light in her hand and spreading her white wings.
The Horned Demon was visibly taken aback, but then he smirked and said, "It's a winged man!so what? Die!" he said, raising his arms and raising his black boots. But when the whip fell, something surprising happened to him - the winged man in front of him reached out and grabbed its longwhip - and this was not the most surprising, because he immediately realized that the dark energy in his body was flowing down the whip like a tide towards the winged man in front of him.
The Horned Demon suddenly felt a wave of fear. Except for the Demon King and the Dark Spirit, no one could take away its power! But this incredible thing happened in front of it! It quickly tried to pull back the long whip, but its body seemed to be frozen by something, and it couldn't move at all.
Linya spread her wings and flew until she was as tall as the Horned Demon, and she swung her sword of light and stabbed it into the Horned Demon's chest. Wherever the Excalibur went, light energy emanated, instantly dissolving the Horned Demon's spiritual body.
"No! No, it can't be...... You, you're ......" The Horned Demon desperately tried to struggle, to escape, to shout, but to no avail. On the one hand, the light energy is rapidly cutting through its body, and on the other hand, the dark energy is rapidly draining, and the decomposed body turns into points of light and dissipates into the darkness of the night. When the Sword of Light finally melted its head, its consciousness vanished completely.
It died, in an unbelievable way, and was wiped out so easily.
