Chapter 22: Curtain call

"Unexpectedly, that summoner of mine was actually killed by you. Samael said.

Diana was slightly stunned, although she had expected something just now, but when Samael admitted it herself, she still felt a trance.

"The human beings in this plane are really a race that is good at creating miracles, this was the case in ancient wars thousands of years ago, and it is still the case today. Samael was very emotional.

There was a huge crack in his cyan armor, which was equivalent to a quasi-legendary armor, and finally died under a "divine slash" swung by Diana, who was incarnated as an angel.

And the "initiator" Diana also paid a lot of price, a pair of light wings hung weakly beside her, and the light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye

Samael chanted incantations in demonic language, although he knew that after being cut off from the abyss, with his current strength, he could maintain his existence in this space for no more than five minutes at most, if he wanted to forcibly summon his true body and release all his power, it would inevitably attract the attention of other powerful beings in this plane, and even the church might come forward, even if he got Diana's soul, he would probably fall here.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of capturing Diana's soul and prepared to expend his few strengths to completely destroy this divine being.

For demons, destroying the servants of the light is already an instinct.

Behind Samael appeared a large dark red volcanic image, above which hung an eternal red cloud.

The magma rushed out of the crater, and a huge magic eye formed by the solidification of magma appeared on the top of the volcano, and its eyes were filled with evil powers that did not belong to this world.

As far as the eye could see, dark red flames erupted from the void and merged into a sea of flames, burning towards the distant sky.

This is one of Samael's most powerful magics, and it belongs to the Abyss Lord's abilities ----- Hellfire.

The people on the ground exclaimed in disbelief what they saw, and the knights prayed for their Highness with solemn eyes.

On the street, Mordred stood beside the corpses of the three bone demons, the tips of their spears slowly raised, shaking and pointing to the sky.

Only Constantine was expressionless, and he looked at the fiery sky very calmly, feeling that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

As long as a century, the town was silent, and everyone was staring at the clouds of fire rolling in the sky, nervously waiting for the final end.

At this moment, the sky has completely turned into a huge melting pot, and a whirlpool has appeared in the sea of flames, devouring everything.

Until a long time later, a golden streamer suddenly flew out of the sea of fire, wrapped in flames, and fell to the earth like a meteor.

Just as it was about to fall to the ground, the golden meteor suddenly stopped, and the golden wings of light turned into countless butterflies and dispersed, and a delicate figure fell weakly from it.

Without hesitation, Mordred jumped up and hugged Diana, who had fallen from the sky.

"The knight saved the princess, what a perfect ending. Looking at the cheering people, Constantine sighed with emotion, and at this moment Mordred, who was holding the royal daughter tightly, stood in the crowd, like a true heroic knight, surrounded by countless happy townspeople.

Indeed, there is no better ending than this, and in many years' time, this scene will surely be remembered by all the people of Quanshui Town and become a legend.

Leaving no one to cheer with the people and share the joy of victory, Constantine calmly withdrew his sword and walked through the bustling crowd towards the inn.

No one looked at him, and all eyes were focused on the Four Imperial Maidens and her brave knights who had just saved Springwater Town, making his back look particularly lonely in the crowd of people who came forward to cheer.

Diana snuggled up in Mordred's arms, looking unusually weak, and her pale face barely squeezed out a laborious smile: "Thank you, Mordred." ”

"It's good that you're okay. As Mordred walked forward with the princess in his arms, the people automatically made way for their hero, and many of the young men in the town looked at him with longing and adoration, and their blood boiled just by remembering the moment when the knight with the spear had single-handedly defeated three powerful bone demons.

"You see, they adore you, and it seems that you must have done a great job just now, and I regret that I couldn't witness your heroics, my knight," said Diana, laughing, and raised her head and kissed Mordred's mask, which caused the hearts of many young people and girls in the room to be excited. "Maybe many of them will become knights of the Empire because they worship you. ”

"Let them go and fight the demons for themselves, maybe they won't think so. Mordred looked around and saw that there was no such thing, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The stars seemed to be shining brightly tonight, and the people of Springwater Town came to the outskirts and lit bonfires to celebrate this hard-won victory.

However, before the party begins, the people of Springwater Town receive bad news: their old mayor, Clough, fought bravely to defend the town during the battle against the evil demon king, and finally fell under the demon's blade. This unfortunate news added a touch of sadness to the party.

So, before the party began, all the townspeople gathered for a brief funeral for their mayor and a collective silence.

What made Constantine smile bitterly was that because of his status as a priest, the officiant of this funeral was actually presided over by him, who killed Elvis.

Would this old fellow be so angry as to jump out of his coffin when he heard the news in Hell? Constantine, dressed in a black monk's suit, pretended to recite a beautiful eulogy under the collective gaze of the townspeople, but he couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

After finishing this somewhat embarrassing mission, Constantine immediately left the meeting.

After the funeral, the bonfire party was carried out in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. As the sparks rose in the meadow, melodious music echoed in the wind, drawing the thoughts of the townspeople into the depths of memory, the shouts of the men were especially loud in the diffuse smell of wine, and the girls carried their skirts and danced gracefully around the campfire, all around them with thunderous laughter.

Constantine sat under a tree not far from the evening camp, looking up at the bright stars in the sky, sniffing the natural scent of the meadow, and enjoying the rare peace.

"You seem to be at a leisurely pace, my priest. Diana suddenly appeared, leaned over to Constantine, and said.

"Good evening, Your Highness. Constantine said. "I thought you should be staying there right now. ”

He could see around the camp's largest bonfire, surrounded by Diana's knights, holding glasses to receive the townspeople's thanks, and many of the maidens turned their fiery gazes to Mordred, who stood beside Diderot. However, the Knight seemed to be puzzled, and shook his head vigorously at the woman who came running from time to time to invite him to dance and begged him to take off his mask.

"I've always wanted to know what your knight's face looks like after his mask. Constantine said.

"He, to be honest, doesn't look as good as me. Diana smiled.

"You're laughing, Your Highness, you are the moon of the empire, and the only thing you can compare with is the sun of the empire. Constantine tilted his head to see the eyes of the princess, who enjoyed a unique reputation in the Holy Empire, as charming as emerald, even compared to the stars in the sky.

It's just that compared to the first time the two met in the carriage, although Diana's eyes were still beautiful at this moment, there were many more tiredness and sorrow that could not be hidden.

Thinking of such a beautiful girl, who has been forced to fall into the worldly conspiracy since she was born, I can't help but feel pity,

However, Constantine was not prepared to say some sensual words to comfort the other party on this beautiful day, and then trigger some very bloody plots, he always remembered the role he played, and had a very clear understanding of his mission, he preferred that no one would disturb him at this time, so as to enjoy this moment of peace.

Seeing that Constantine still had an ancient expression, Diana sighed lightly, from the first time she saw Constantine, she could see that the young man in front of her was not as amazed by her beauty as many people, but deliberately kept a certain distance from her, and this concentration made her have to admire.

"Grandpa Clough is dead, and I don't have much nostalgia for Springs. Diana said lightly. "So, there's no need to celebrate or anything, if they know that I brought the demon here, I'm afraid they'd rather let me go. ”

"Your Highness, there are people who are dead, and he is still alive, and there are people who are alive but are already dead. Constantine said, "This is a quote from my teacher, and whatever the truth may be, at least the townsfolk will always remember that kind old mayor, isn't it?"

"Besides, you defeated the demons and saved them, so it is only natural to accept their blessings on you, and you don't have to feel sorry, just go your own way with them. Constantine said seriously.

"Thank you, Constantine. Diana smiled, her tired eyes regaining some light.

The two were silent, each staring at the stars twinkling in the night.

"Who was the demon that appeared that day?" After a long time, Constantine broke the silence.

"Samael. Diana replied, "Lord of the second layer of the Endless Abyss. ”

"One of the Seven Great Demon Kings of the Ancients recorded in the Divine Codex!" Constantine was shocked, "How could this monster appear?"

"It's because of me. Diana said, "I have the imprint of the Lord of Radiance, this imprint contains very powerful divine power, but it will also attract the attention of many evil beings, Samael did not come in his own body that day, it was only a projection of him, but even so, his strength is still beyond my expectations, if his true body appears in this space, then, even if all the archbishops of the church act together, it is impossible to keep him." ”

"Then you're really remarkable. "Constantine admired, this is the truth, being able to defeat the legendary demon king, even if it is just a clone, is already a record that can shock the continent.

Moreover, after the battle spread, the clamor within the church to support Diana as the next saint will surely rise a lot, and those conservatives who question her can only remain silent in the face of this fact.

"As much as I would love to accept your praise, courage alone is not enough to overcome a being like Samael. Diana said softly, "I fought it with the determination to die that day, and I was able to get away with fighting it off because at the last moment, its strength suddenly weakened a lot, and I was able to hit him hard with the Divine Sword Style, otherwise, it would be me who would fall last, I know this very well." ”

"And Mordred told me that before he and Diderot arrived, the magic circle had been destroyed, and although I couldn't see it with my own eyes, only one person could do it given the scene. The smile on Diana's face deepened, "You're the real hero behind the scenes, Constantine." ”

"It's just a matter of luck. Constantine graciously confessed that he had no hope of hiding from the wise princess

"But what really surprised me was that you were able to defeat Grandpa Clough, judging by what I observed in the church, Grandpa Clough's magic power is probably already at the level of the Crown Mage, and even it will take a lot of effort for me to defeat him. Diana stared silently at Constantine's side face.

"So, who the hell are you?"
