Chapter 11: The Cost of Illiteracy
Although the monsters poured into the city, they seemed to consciously avoid Galusis and the Messiah, and only attacked the humans.
And Gallusis felt it from just now...... The city exudes an unusually familiar atmosphere.
"Damn...... What the hell was that, why can't I remember?" he couldn't remember exactly what it was, but what was certain was definitely something he had before.
[Anyway, let's find that thing first...... But now the question is, how to break this brave man?]
"Demon King, come with me to save people!" The Messiah, whose sense of justice was overflowing, obviously couldn't watch those fog monsters kill civilians so recklessly.
The Messiah's desire to save the helpless civilians was in line with Garusis's thoughts...... But soon Garucis had another problem in mind.
The other party is now a corpse bound spirit, and he can't get too far away from him...... In other words, I must follow him.
Thinking of this, Gallusis immediately refused: "No kidding! Just as you can't watch monsters kill humans, how can I watch you kill my kind?"
The Messiah was furious: "These civilians are innocent!"
"Damn human subjectivity again!" Gallusis was equally furious when he heard the Messiah say this, "It is these so-called innocent civilians who have reaped my kind like the harvest of the autumn harvest for more than a thousand years!"
How much of this is true? Even Galusis himself did not know. It stands to reason that these mist monsters that are not even self-aware are not real monsters at all, they are just imitations of monsters, and they will not have any anger even if they die and add Frostis.
But the problem is that he's really angry now, and even he doesn't know why.
"I ...... Forget it, I'll save it myself. The Messiah didn't know how to refute it, and eventually he gritted his teeth and decided to leave Garucis alone.
"The Sword in the Lake, Love Rundit, show your true form!" Unlike the previous beam sword with a vague form, this time it was the real [Spirit Suit] that appeared in the hands of the Messiah - the Sword in the Lake Love Rundit.
The sword flickered, slashing several mist monsters that pounced on the human children in an instant.
In the same way, the Fog Monsters no longer saw the Messiah as one of their kind, and launched an attack on him.
"Kids, hide behind me...... Explode, Arondit!" The pitch-black light burst out with the Messiah's swing, killing more than a dozen mist monsters in a very simple way.
Garusis, who was not far away, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
[Unexpectedly, he used magic power to explode without any scruples...... But how long can you continue to use this high-cost combat method?]
But it didn't take long for Garucis to know that he was wrong, and that he was wrong...... That Messiah had the cheekiness to use his magic!?
"What the hell, Messiah, you actually use my magic!?Why don't you stop me!" Gallucis remembered that the Messiah was now his own demon, and the magic power was shared between the two of them...... In other words, this guy is squandering his own magic power while also squandering Gallusis' magic power by the way.
"I'm sorry, I can't stop now!" said Messiah, laughing as he slashed several of the Mist Monsters, still using the same mana-consuming attack techniques. Nearly didn't vomit blood from Galusis.
"▂▃▄▅ (Stop your attacks!)" Garusis gritted his teeth and gave a command to the fog monsters, and then all the fog monsters around him stopped, "And you, stop for me! I order you as the master!"
As the words fell, the Messiah's attack was abruptly stopped.
"Garusis, you said you wouldn't forcibly control me!!!We signed a contract!" The Messiah's expression was now unusually sad and angry, like the expression on which he spent a lot of money and ended up buying a fake, and he could not return it.
Oh, I'm sorry, I lied to you. Gallusis smiled calmly, "Actually, it's just an ordinary demon contract, not to mention that I promised you not to do anything that violates your own principles, it's just a verbal agreement without any binding force...... Besides, it's not a breach of agreement if I asked you to stop, is it?"
"You're quibbling!"
Looking at the other party's angry expression, Garucis felt comfortable physically and mentally: "Whatever you say, whoever makes you illiterate just sign the contract in such a daze, I don't lie to you and I'm sorry for myself." ”
"You ......" the Messiah had just spoken, but suddenly stopped.
Not only the Messiah, but even Galusis felt it...... That unusually familiar aura suddenly burst out.
...... Rewind time by dozens of seconds, shifting the perspective to the vicinity of the city gates.
"Hmm......"
The scarred Loren was kicked away and slammed into the wall, spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Wouldn't it be better to hand it over early, why wait until I've almost killed someone...... Even though you were meant to die. Jeep smiled and opened the brocade box that he had found from the other party, which contained a pearl the size of a cherry.
"That's it...... The legacy of the Demon King Garusis. Feeling the breath emanating from this bead, Jeep finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Demon King...... Garusis's ...... Heritage...... What the hell is that?" said Loraine, leaning back against the corner of the wall, and said weakly, "at least let me die...... Why are you seizing this thing!"
This brocade box was a gift from his father when he was 10 years old, and it is said that if he carried it with him, the effect of meditation would increase several times...... As for the other reasons, he was completely unclear.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of explaining the reason to a dying person. Jeep slashed Loran's neck with a sword, and bright red blood spurted out.
Luo Lan's eyes widened and he didn't bat at all, and two lines of blood and tears silently flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
"Then it's time to get out of here, and the magic effect of the crowd charm will be worn off later."
The jeep patted his partner's leg to get him to lie down and ride himself, only to find his partner looking warily ahead and letting out a low roar.
"Al, what's wrong with you?" Turning to look, Jeep frowned. What I saw was a group of fog monsters under black pressure, "The magic has failed in advance?"
This was Jeep's first thought...... But soon this idea was overturned.
"Cub, that's not something you can take away. A voice appeared in the crowd of monsters, and then the mist monsters spontaneously moved out of the way, revealing the figures of Garucis and Messiah.
