Alan Jacques clutched the wound on his chest with his hands, but the nightmare continued to flow like a tidal wave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The black liquid substance was thicker and deeper than before, and the floor was corroded by it, and black smoke was emitted from it.

Alan Jacques let out an unwilling wail, those nightmares seemed to be a source of his strength, and as the nightmares continued to pour out, his body gradually became thinner. Eve, who was on the side, staggered to her feet, and she fell so hard that she seemed to hurt her head.

It took her some time to refocus her gaze and see what Alan Jacques was doing, and to Eve it was like the scene she had seen so many times—the death of a beast. This is undoubtedly good news for her, and it means that this long battle is about to end in her victory.

Needing to keep her balance, Eve had to cautiously approach Alan Jacques, both to prevent herself from falling and to watch out for his near-death counterattack. But it wasn't long before Eve realized that these precautions were unnecessary - for Alan Jacques had not only lost his claws, but his whole body had begun to degenerate, and the image of the demon that had crawled out of the hell had gradually changed back to the appearance of the young man he had been before.

Eve approached Alan Jacques step by step, and at this point he was powerless to fight back. Eve struggled to her feet, aiming Andra at the wound in his chest, ready to make up for the final blow. "At least you'll go to hell in human form. Eve sent this word of blessing or mockery, and stabbed Andra out.

But things didn't go the way Eve had imagined. I saw that Alan Jacques, who was already dying, suddenly stretched out his right hand at an astonishing speed, blocking the tip of Eve's sword. Andra pierced his palm, but he grabbed it firmly with an incredible force.

"Please, please wait......" Alan Jacques's tone became very calm, like a shy child, innocent and innocent, but mixed with some idiosyncratic intentions unique to adults. But Eve didn't care what he had become at the moment, she tried to pull Andra out of his grasp, but at this time she had lost the vines wrapped around her hands, and with the strength of ordinary people, she could not compete with Alan Jacques.

"Anyway, listen to me. I know this must end with my death, but you can't kill me now, or the nightmare will eat away at ......the world," Alan Jacques said in an almost pleading tone, which made Eve even more resistant, because it sounded like a demonic trick - deceptive rhetoric.

"To hell, as long as you're dead, it's all over!" Eve strained again, this time, Alan Jacques snorted, and his palms welled up with nightmares.

"Master, kill him! kill him! so that I will have new powers!" Eve's mind was flooded with a fierce thought, unlike before, it was not just a sentence, Eve clearly felt that along with the influx of thoughts was a strong desire, which was killing, gluttony, jealousy, and arrogance. At that moment, Eve was touched by that emotion, and for a moment she felt that she had lost all reason, and wanted to surrender her body and mind to this desire, and no longer think about anything else.

But then, Eve wakes up and regains control of her body. The whole process lasted less than a blink of an eye, but it was enough to terrify Eve. She subconsciously let go of the hand holding the sword, and she truly realized that this sword was a gift from the devil and a product of evil.

But this action also means that Eve has completely lost the ability to hurt the demon in front of her, dressed in human skin.

But this is undoubtedly good news for Alan Jacques, at least he has finally bought time to talk. He breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Andra out of his palm and placed it in front of him.

"Look, I don't want to argue anymore, at least not while I'm still awake...... I hope you will listen carefully to what I have to say, dear lady. Alan Jacques said, as if he was getting more and more energetic because of the nightmare.

"Do you think I'll still be able to listen to half of your nonsense?" said Eve, with a hint of hatred, and she had to admit that she wasn't sane enough at this point, and she didn't want to.

"I understand very well, my lady, but I hope that you will listen quietly to what I have to say, and after that, I will gladly accept any judgment you make. In contrast, the badly injured Alan Jacques looked very calm, and despite the bruises all over his body, his eyes flashed with tenacity.

Eve stared at him for a few seconds, and finally, she realized that she had to compromise. "Well, I'll listen to your nonsense, but don't expect me to believe a word. ”

Alan Jacques heard Clothes' answer and showed a relieved expression. He wasted no time and cut straight to the point: "I don't know how much time I have left, so I'll make a long story short." I was a 'demon', and I am, but before that I was affiliated with an organization that was fighting it. For centuries, I have had a special task. But now, my mission has failed, and I am gradually falling under the erosion of nightmares. ”

"I don't care about your problems, it's not about me. Eve interrupted him, she had no interest in any of this at the moment.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say, my lady. I don't know when it was built as a city, but it was once a huge prison. Alan Jacques explained. "It's used to hold demons that can't be killed, or can't be killed. But demons are eternal, and humans cannot watch over them forever. So, in order to prevent them from escaping, we have also laid out some of them, and the last resort ......"

Alan Jacques said this, his tone was noticeably lower, obviously bringing back some bad memories, but it didn't last long, because what was going to be said next was the point. "None of us are professional magicians, wizards or anything like that, so it's a very crude spell that he can only deal with vague things, not discern the nuances. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say? Eve felt a faint feeling in her heart, and she instinctively refused to know what was going to happen.

“...... We cast a lot of spells, and they all came together, but the result was the same - burn the area, leaving not a single plant or tree behind. Alan Jacques said bitterly. "It's no ordinary flame, but there is no way for any creature in this area to escape......

"And here, the thing that causes the 'Curse of Sacred Fire' is the 'Nightmare', and once the nightmare spreads outside of this city, it will turn into a scorched earth and no grass will grow. When Alan Jacques had finished speaking, he looked at Eve, who was visibly shocked. "Believe it or not, my lady, I may be the only human in the world who can absorb nightmares...... If I die now, your realm will cease to exist. ”

Eve didn't respond to her, she was already frightened by the possible consequences, which were even more terrible than the nightmare that spread throughout the city. Alan Jacques didn't say anything more, she pushed Andra in front of Eve. "Now, please make your judgment, my lady. You can just kill me and then look forward to withdrawing from the land before the nightmare spreads, and at the current rate, there may be half a day left for you. Or, give me some time, and I can put the nightmare back together, but then my strength will be fully restored, and I will be the same as before, and I can't resist this. Alan Jacques said calmly, leaving the problem to Eve completely.

Eve picked up Andra again, and this time it became quiet, as if it felt Eve's torment at this time, and did not transmit her desires into Eve's heart again.

Listen to him, then he will become an invincible demon, and the whole of Kyredan will be a piece of his mouth, and no one can resist him. Kill him? What if what he said is true? No, it's just a demonic statement, it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it's a lie made up to save his life. Yes, Eve would have liked to think so, but she didn't dare to take the risk, not only for her safety, but for all of Kyredan, for everything she cared about.

"Master, kill him, and I will gain his power. Andra said softly, as if she had seen through Eve's heart.

yes, and Andra. Eve thought to herself that Andra could help her, and she didn't even pay attention to the demon's words. But this evil weapon, which was also given to her by the devil, was it worthy of her trust?

Eve's palms were already sweating, and she didn't know what to choose, and no matter which one she chose, the risk was not something she could afford.

Alan Jacques didn't wait for Eve to make a choice, in fact, from the moment he spoke, he had been slowly absorbing the nightmare back into his body. He didn't hide this behavior, even if Eve saw it, she didn't know what to do at this time.

Eve felt like she was being strangled by someone at the moment, suffocating, but helpless. He watched as Alan Jacques recovered little by little, his broken arm growing back and his wounds healing.

"Ah, I've had enough!" Eve yelled as if she were sudden. Then he held Andra tightly and walked in front of Alan Jacques. "You, are you a human or a demon now?" she asked, holding her sword against Alan Jacques's chest.

“...... Most of the people. Alan Jacques didn't know what Eve wanted to do, but replied truthfully. "Good, that's for the best. Eve said. "If you're a glorious knight, as you say, or a warrior who fights demons, then listen to my proposal. ”

"I, Eveluna Falster, Count of Kerrydan, I will pierce your heart with my sword the moment you absorb all your nightmares!" Eve said. "I hope until then, you'll try to keep your human side so that I can let you die a dignified death while solving my problems. ”

For the first time, Alan Jacques looked surprised, as if he had heard something fantastical, and he looked at Eve in a daze, and then, with a 'poof', laughed. "Oh, my goddess, you're right......" he smiled reservedly, like a reserved aristocratic lady rather than a warrior. "You're so right, that's the best ending for me. Alan Jacques smiled happily, and at this time, he seemed to have finally unloaded all his burdens and revealed his truest side.

"But I can't guarantee anything, I can't fight that pleasure, I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it going, let alone after it's fully absorbed. Alan Jacques said. "I'll do my best, my lady, I wish we hadn't met this way......"
