A few days ago, Ophelia was alone in the vast forest sea outside the town of Blackpool.

She relied on her keen magical perception to probe everything around her, trying to find clues about the demons.

However, she has been on this mission for dozens of days, and she still has found nothing.

She remembered very well that the last time she passed through this forest, she did feel a majestic magical reaction, and there was no doubt that it was the lair of the demons.

But for some reason, she couldn't find it now, and she had to suspect that those monsters had moved.

However, she still refuses to give up, even if she turns this forest upside down, she has to find some traces of the existence of demons.

And the effort was well worth it, for she had found a strange structure in a low-lying area of a mountain col, and although it did not emit any traces of magic, it was certainly unusual for such a thing to appear here.

It was a very small structure, roughly in the shape of a cube, five meters high and three meters wide, and it looked like a rather luxurious tomb.

She soon found this idea strange, because there was a stone door on the building that could open to both sides, and if it was a tomb, how could it be left behind?

However, she immediately reversed this idea, what if it was really a tomb? Then something will come back from the dead and come out of the door.

Normally, this is not the case, but if it is the Demon King who will be resurrected, everything will make sense.

Therefore, she had reason to suspect that this was the lair of the demons, and as for why it no longer emitted traces of magical power, it might just indicate that the demons had really shifted their positions.

So, she decided to go in and have a look, and when she entered the demon lair for the first time, even a person like Ophelia who was not afraid of heaven and earth was a little nervous.

After a while, she took a deep breath, then put her hand on the stone door and pushed it inside.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the stone door did not move, and she couldn't help but wonder if this door should be open to the outside.

Seeing that she couldn't open it with brute force, she began to prepare her most powerful sword technique, and a few seconds later, with a loud bang, the stone door was indeed opened a large hole.

Ophelia glanced inside and saw that it was pitch black, but that didn't stop her from exploring.

She pulled out a glowing crystal ball from her storage ring and swooped headlong into a forbidden place for humans.

In order to prevent the sneak attack of the monsters in the dark, she has been using her magic to perceive, but in view of the fact that some monsters are too weak to perceive at all, she still pays attention to the ahead, trembling with every step, after all, there is nothing more terrifying than the unknown in the dark.

After about half an hour, she finally reached a very open space.

Because it is underground, affected by the infiltration of groundwater, this space is filled with a musty smell.

In order to be able to see the surroundings clearly, she took out dozens of crystal balls and threw them on the ground, which completely illuminated the entire space, only to find that there was nothing except for the eight pillars.

With nothing on the pillar, she continued to walk forward and found five huge sarcophagi arranged in a cross shape against the wall, three of which were empty.

And next to the sarcophagus, she also made a surprising discovery, which were several pieces of charred biological tissue, which were supposed to be palms, but did not look like human.

Thinking of this place that was likely to be a demon's lair, she could only think that it was the body tissue of the monster.

After that, she turned around, touched here, looked there, but found nothing abnormal, the only thing that attracted attention was the sarcophagus at the end of the space.

She found that if the five sarcophagi were matched with the Demon King and the four Dark Knights, it would be just right, because now in addition to the Demon King, there are indeed two Dark Knights resurrected.

Then the remaining two Dark Knights should be in the sarcophagus, and for some reason they haven't been resurrected yet.

But whatever the reason, Ophelia suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to destroy their bodies before they were resurrected, which might help the human side get rid of two great threats.

So, after thinking of this, she immediately carried it out, and the first one was to cut the sarcophagus on the left.

She tried to push the lid of the sarcophagus, but it turned out to be the same as the stone door outside, she couldn't push it at all, and it seemed that she still had to rely on sword skills.

Then, there was another loud bang, the sarcophagus was destroyed, and a puff of white smoke suddenly came out of it.

Ophelia's heart sank, thinking that it could be that the Dark Knight had been resurrected after her tricks?

Then, as the smoke cleared, she swallowed nervously and cautiously leaned over, only to be a false alarm, as there was nothing in the sarcophagus.

"Well, it scared me."

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief, she expected that the other sarcophagus should be the same, so she repeated the trick and destroyed the sarcophagus.

However, something unexpected happened, and as the sarcophagus broke, she suddenly sensed a very powerful trace of magic, the source of which was in front of her.

There was no doubt that she had actually released a Dark Knight, and she couldn't help but regret it.

But it has happened, and she has no time to continue to blame herself, since she is resurrected, she is responsible for killing it again, so as to make up for her mistakes.

Strangely, however, the owner of the trace of magic turned into a blue-gray light and flew up towards the top of the space.

Then, after a loud bang, countless pieces of rubble and dirt fell, and Ophelia quickly dodged away.

After a while, when everything had calmed down and the traces of the Dark Knight's magic were completely gone, she walked over and looked up, and found that there was a large hole in the top where she could see the sky outside.

"Why did you run away?" Ophelia wondered.

But the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to delve into it, so she had to go back and report the situation to Byron.

……

Time comes back to the present.

The moment Ophelia noticed this huge trace of magical power, she wondered if it could be the Dark Knight she had released.

But she quickly denied it, because this magic trace was very familiar, not like the one from a few days ago, but Cornes who had met in White Peak Town earlier.

"How is that possible? That guy should be dead. Ophelia shook her head, trying to dispel the idea.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look," the emir suggested, the corners of his mouth rising, "by the way, test my newfound magic." ”

A few minutes later, the Emir and Ophelia were outside the walls, and the other party was also very martial, standing there like a statue, and did not take the opportunity to destroy the town directly.

Before rushing over, Ophelia had always thought that the person who came must be a dark knight, and since he was more familiar, it could only be his defeated Pedro.

But when they saw each other's true faces, they found that it was not, although the other party was wearing a helmet, and the armor on his body was also very heavy, and it looked impermeable, but from that appearance, it could be judged that his attribute should be water.

And a few days ago, the one that Ophelia released from the demon lair was obviously earth, and now it seems that a total of four dark knights have been resurrected.

"Sure enough, are the demons planning to go to war with humans?" Ophelia muttered under her breath.

"You're also a Dark Knight?" The emir asked aloud.

At this time, there was a distance of more than a hundred meters between them, but for a person of their strength, the distance never had to be considered.

"Oh? By your words, you've probably met other Dark Knights. The man said in a rough voice.

"Indeed, two Dark Knights have already died at our hands." The emir deliberately bluffed.

"Hehe, humans will play such useless tricks," the man chuckled, and then said, "Truth be told, we dark knights have a special sense of each other, anyway, there is no sign of a companion dying on my side, so you should save that trick." ”

"Cut, since that's the case, then let's talk less nonsense and just start fighting." The Emir was on full swing, he wasn't afraid of the Dark Knight at all now.

After all, Anne has the strength to fight the Dark Knight, and he is now stronger than Anne, so except for the Demon King, there is nothing to fear.

"Tsk, I haven't seen you for a while, and you, an ordinary teenager, dare to talk to me like that," the man said with a little surprise, "and I remember that you were devoured by the Nightmare Mansion before, how can you be resurrected?" …… Oh, I see, it was that guy who sacrificed himself to get you back, right? ”

Hearing him say this, the emile couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the person in front of him, and it was Ophelia who reacted more.

"No, it can't be, weren't you killed by my Scarlet Piercing?"

"What?" Emir's eyes widened, "So, is this guy really Cornes?" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm just introducing myself now," the man smiled heartily and continued, "My name is Kones Sandra, and my real identity is the Dark Knight of the water type, but you should be more familiar with this look." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his tall and burly body began to shrink, and finally became the image of a rickety old man, and this appearance was all too familiar to the emir.

This demon who killed his father and mutilated many innocent children, even if he turned to ashes, he knew it.

"Ouch, it seems that this image has aroused someone's anger, that's really sorry, I'd better change back." Cornes said in a strange way, but he didn't make any further moves.

The emir naturally understood Cornes's intentions, and he also said with a grim expression.

"I don't have to, it's this that makes me more motivated to kill you."

"Hehe, unashamed guy, then try it, I'm here today to purge you." Cornes put away his smile and instantly became hideous.

Sure enough, he didn't change back to the Dark Knight, but fought with a wand like he had done as a dark mage before.

At this time, Ophelia was in a complicated mood in the face of Cones, who was impaled by the scarlet piercing in the middle and did not die, but she quickly cheered up, since she didn't die with one shot, let's shoot again.

In the next moment, the scarlet piercing was ready again, and strangely, Cornes had no idea of dodging at all, but opened his arms to Ophelia, as if to embrace this fateful death.
