What is the feeling of not being able to protect the person you want to protect, the feeling of seeing the tragedy happen in front of you again, and the feeling of feeling powerless again?

Sadness, anger, pain, all of this intertwined and turned into deathly coldness.

This is not the first time Ulysses has encountered such feelings.

Once, he had a carefree youth, a gentle and kind mother, a cute and clingy sister, and a healthy and lively childhood sweetheart. There is no fighting in the quiet village of Mira, and it is a peaceful and quiet small village.

He once thought that he would grow up like that, and try to become a priest, cure Yulia and her mother's illness, and take Yulia with him to see the scenery she wanted to see.

Remember, she always wanted to go to the beach, and he fantasized that he would one day take her to the beach, and the two held hands and stepped on the lines of footprints together.

However, that wish did not come true. Right in front of him, his first love, the brave girl he had longed for, seized Yuria's body and pierced his body with a gun, completely shattering the hazy feelings in his heart.

She didn't explain it to him, perhaps because she didn't think it was necessary, or maybe she thought it was something she couldn't say to him. She took everything from Yulia like that, and made Yulia disappear from this world, leaving only the Sword Warrior named Lara.

At that time, he couldn't do anything, because he was too weak, and he couldn't do anything even if he watched such a tragedy happen.

For the first time, he knew what it felt like to be heartbroken.

The first time, he was so painful that he couldn't close his eyes, and he fell to the ground like that.

He was still young, unable to accept that reality, and the nightmarish sight kept repeating itself in his mind, laughing at him, oppressing him, and making him cry constantly.

He was only twelve years old that year.

At that time, he was just a child with no strength. For him at that time, that scene was too heavy and tragic, and finally forced him to choose to forget.

So, he really forgot everything, forgot that he once had a cute and clingy sister, forgot her favorite little blue flower, forgot the weak figure that used to always look at him and Rasha with envy.

But in the end he remembered it, because Lara appeared in front of him again, forcing him to remember. It turned out that the sad scene had never really been forgotten by him, but he himself sealed it in the depths of the sea of memory.

Perhaps, there are still many things that have been forgotten and can never be recovered. But he will never forget that he once had a sister, a girl who always followed him and could be happy all day just by holding his hand.

He lost her and wanted to get her back, which was the biggest reason why he resolutely gave up the path of the priest he longed for and embarked on the path of the demon king.

Not because of the guidance of others, nor because of the temptation of dark forces, this is his own desire in his heart, his own faith.

This belief, when I saw Yusha die to protect himself, became more firm and unshakable.

Aya said that the essence of the demon king is that he doesn't need to make a choice, but to get everything he wants.

For the Demon King, as long as it is what he wants, he will definitely try his best to get it. Even in order to get such a thing, there is no hesitation to go against God.

For this, what is needed is strength, incomparably great power.

Only the strong will be the real demon king, and the weak cannot become the demon king.

If you want to become a demon king, you have to be stronger than anyone else, so strong that even the gods can defeat it, and so strong that you can even destroy the laws of the entire world.

"You have nowhere else to go. Floating in the air, Ulysses' golden eyes grew deeper and deeper, as if connected to the infinite void.

"How is it possible, has this guy seen through your spell?" Becias looked at the black-winged swordsman with some consternation.

Their escape route was not chosen randomly, the entire escape route was covered by the dark realm of the Demon Duke Hain's "Absolute Shadow", which is the famous skill of the Demon Duke Hain, who is good at mystical spells, and is known as the ultimate stealth skill that even the head mountain of the Supreme God Cult can come and go freely.

This is not the kind of low-level trick used by human thieves, but a legendary realm ability that really comes and goes without a trace. In addition to revealing flaws when attacking opponents, it is almost invulnerable to rush and escape, and the principle involves an extremely deep layer of shadows.

"It seems so, no wonder there have been some strange little things under the ground since just now. Hine lifted his own domain "Shadow", exposing all traces of the three of them.

That's right, it was no one else who saw through the realm of the Demon Duke Hein's "Shadow", it was one of the daughters of Ulysses, who loved the abyssal butterfly that inhabited the earth.

In order to find the enemy who killed the rain sand, Ulysses sent all types of fantasy butterflies out without leaving any dead ends.

Although Ulysses had been reluctant to involve these little things born of wonderful karma in the battle, Yusha's death had made him unable to control his emotions, and he finally sent out the most dangerous of them, the Abyss Butterfly.

Among all the fantasy butterflies, the abyssal butterfly is the most dangerous species, and the energy-supporting sun butterfly, moonlight, starry sky, head-on battle type angel butterfly, puppet butterfly that manipulates life, and exploration intelligence-type hidden butterfly are all different, the abyss butterfly is always extremely silent, but the ability is the most terrifying.

Although they are also a type of energy butterflies, their power is to constantly devour and absorb the power of darkness to give back to Ulysses. Wherever they appear, they will trigger a terrifying magical phenomenon, and they are magic butterflies that are born with the power of curse.

Once they leave the underground, they will cause a horrific death, not because of their malice, but because they are the only dream butterflies that have completely inherited the dark side of Ulysses, the magic butterfly that represents death and the abyss.

Their power was unusually strong, so powerful that even Ulysses could not control it. Because of this, Ulysses rarely lets them out of the Phantom Butterflies' lair until he is unable to control their powers, as their powers are too easy to cause irreparable consequences.

However, at this moment, Ulysses finally stopped restraining their power and let them dance in the dark.

It was a butterfly dance for Ulysses alone, a dance that brought death and despair—to Ulysses' enemies.

If it was Ulysses before the decisive battle with Yusha, he would not have made this decision, because the power of the Abyss Butterfly is too dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will lose control.

However, after witnessing the fall of the rain and sand, Ulysses finally decided to unseal all this hidden combat power.

The silent Abyss Butterflies do not express their feelings as actively and enthusiastically as the Sun Butterflies, but show their strength with their actions.

They instantly cracked the "Shadow" of the Demon Duke, and they spread their wings to summon countless dark forces to fill Ulysses' body.

Ulysses was reluctant to let them fight because he didn't do this before, and Ulysses' own lack of physical strength was also a reason. Because the Abyssal Butterfly's ability to summon the power of darkness is terrifyingly strong, they are the perfect embodiment of darkness, and the most suitable Demon Butterfly for the Demon King attribute among the daughters of Ulysses.

Now, Ulysses, who have been freed from the shackles in their hearts, have finally summoned them to fight side by side, and they have received Ulysses' orders to bring Ulysses the strongest support with the most enchanting dance.

The countless threads that could not be seen were connected to Ulysses's body, making the dark aura emanating from his body even deeper and more bottomless.

The blood and injuries wasted to save Yusha have long disappeared without a trace, and now he is even more palpitating than when he fought Yusha.

It was not an illusion, for he had taken a new step, and in that infinite dark staircase, he would never look back.

All this is his own choice.

For his own desires, he needs more strength, more power.

"What's the matter, how do I think this kid is more of a demon than we are now?" the battle-hardened Becias was the first to notice the strange atmosphere in the air.

It was an air that was more sinister than the breath of the Demon Realm, a darkness that seemed to swallow all life into it.

"It's not funny at all, but I feel the same way. "Because he is good at the shadow realm, the Duke of the Demon Realm, Hein, can perceive the terrifying power of darkness around Ulysses more clearly than anyone else.

It couldn't be the dark power that humans should have, because that dark power even surpassed him, an authentic ancient god-level demon. If it weren't for the personal contact, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this dark energy came from a human being.

The powerful oppressive force, the suffocating dark magic, the golden eyes that are so cold that they make people's backs chill, Ulysses in the sky already has all the posture that a high-ranking ancient god-level demon demon should have, no, maybe it's still above that...... "Ho! ho!" Only Berdiella, whose thinking ability is close to zero, is still unmoved, he opens his big mouth and looks at Ulysses in the air, his eyes are as fanatical as if he is looking at a roast chicken.

Eat, eat, eat! Eat Madness blinded Bedella's eyes, and his brain, which was close to nothing, was prompted by hunger to make a foolish action.

"Roar!" Bediera, who was so hungry that she lost her mind, opened her mouth, and a huge green venom bullet burst through the air, striking Ulysses in the air with terrible corrosive power and toxin.
