Cornes stood there and was stunned for a moment, it was impossible to say that he did not have the slightest affection for this companion.

Although they had been intriguing for hundreds of years before this, when Knoey did die, his heart was empty.

However, as the new Demon King, he shouldn't have such a compassionate thought, so he immediately interrupted his thoughts and decided to deal with the invaders first.

Elena also sensed it, and looked at the black staircase, and once again condensed terrifying ice crystals in her hands.

However, in the next moment, she noticed something unusual, because she was about to crush the ice crystals in her hand, causing tiny dusty fragments to fill the air, but the fragments were restored.

She couldn't figure it out for a while, but Cornes had seen this trick once, so she immediately reminded her daughter.

"Don't fight with them, retreat when you find an opportunity."

“……”

Elena glanced at him, as if hesitating for something.

Although Cornes can understand her desire to realize her self-worth, she has no stand-in, and once she dies, she can't be resurrected, this is Cornes's only daughter, not to mention, he will have a more important use in the future.

So, he unleashed his teleportation magic and forcibly moved Elena to safety.

"Then, I'll meet you ants myself."

Cornes laughed arrogantly, he was worried that he didn't have a chance to show off the strength he had just gained, but he didn't expect these people to come here without knowing the height of the sky.

A few seconds later, the Emir and the others arrived at the ground floor hall of the colony.

At this time, the white dragon also followed, and due to his huge size, Alice had to turn him into a human form.

He is indeed the image of an old man, wearing a white robe, with a tall figure, and looks quite noble.

In fact, the white dragon's time magic has a range, and it can affect an area of almost twenty meters around it.

Just now, it was Emir who wanted to test the reality of the ground floor hall, so he let the white dragon release his magic in advance.

At this time, he was relieved to see that there was only one person in the hall.

Although he had discussed countermeasures outside, he was still jealous of the Demon King, so he had been nervous since he entered the Demon Stronghold, and coupled with the violent shaking just now, he almost thought that the sky was about to fall.

Facing this empty hall, he guessed that the Demon King should leave, as for Cornes, he was controlled by the white dragon not long ago, and then he was beaten by them, he still vividly remembered.

However, this was just wishful thinking on his part, as he soon discovered that the terrifyingly powerful traces of magic came from Cones.

"Yo, long time no see, boy." Cornes stared at Emir, smiling maliciously.

"Phew, stop talking nonsense, get my sister back!" Seeing that he wanted to talk nonsense again, Alice hurriedly yelled angrily.

Seeing that the atmosphere on both sides had reached this point, the emir could not retreat, so he had to force his composure and say.

"Cornes, we're here for nothing else, we just want to go back to Lilith, to be honest, we don't want to fight you now, although I don't know when you gained such great power, but it won't help at all in front of the white dragon, since it's not good for both sides to fight to the death, then we might as well take a step back, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Cornes was surprised, he didn't expect that the emir would dare to negotiate terms with him at this time, he didn't know for a while that the other party was too stupid, so he didn't understand his situation, or was he deliberately bluffing.

To be on the safe side, he used his magic sense, and in the end he was sure that the combined magic power of these people was not as good as his, so he could only think that the emir should not understand his situation.

It's just that he's not in the mood to explain the situation to these people right now, and he still has to devour Lilith as soon as possible, and then he just needs to let them experience it for themselves.

So, he condensed dozens of black flames in his hands and threw them at the emir.

These Black Flames have their own tracking capabilities and will never be extinguished without burning enemies to ashes.

Naturally, the white dragon would not let him succeed, and immediately released the magic of reversing time, and this effect only affected Cones.

Immediately afterward, all the black flames flew back into Cornes' hands, and in the process, all of Cornes' actions turned into slow motion.

"Let me go first." Alice said and rushed straight out.

Today, Cornes was burly and heavily armoured, but no matter how strong his defenses were, they were useless in front of the dragon princess's iron fist.

The punch hit Cones in the head, not only shattering the helmet, but also shattering his skull and bursting his brain.

At this time, Cones's movements became quite slow even when he was attacked, and Alice took the opportunity to make up a few more punches to completely shatter his body.

When Emile saw this, he was tempted to believe that Cornes had been killed and that Lilith would no longer be in danger, but reason told him that it seemed too smooth.

Sure enough, when the effect of reversing time was over, although Cones turned into a puddle of meat sauce, without the support of his body, his body actually recovered in an instant, and his self-healing ability simply surpassed that of the Demon King.

Seeing this, Emir suddenly understood why Cornes exuded traces of magic similar to that of the Demon King, because he was likely to have seized the power of the Demon King.

Then, what they are facing now is equivalent to the Demon King himself, no, even more powerful than the original Demon King.

Just as Emir was frightened, Ophelia tapped him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Emir, our lives have been entrusted to you, and you must not back down."

“…… Well, I see. The emir nodded solemnly.

After all, the countermeasures he had just proposed outside were to deal with the situation of facing the Demon King.

In general, he wants the white dragon to keep reversing time, and he is responsible for recovering when his physical strength is exhausted, thus forcing the demon king to have no power to fight back, and finally has to agree to let Lilith go.

At this time, although Cornes showed his power beyond the Demon King, he did not have a chance to attack, so the current situation was not out of the Mir's expectations.

"White Dragon, Alice, don't waver, continue to launch the offensive."

The emir commanded with full attention, and then observed the state of the white dragon at any time in case of exhaustion of physical strength and flaws.

In this way, Cornes was really controlled to death, he could only rely on his self-healing ability to maintain his life, but at the same time, the consumption of physical strength was also very large, and if he continued like this, he would be exhausted sooner or later.

Although he knew very well that the same was true for the Emir and the White Dragon, his final situation would be even more dangerous, as the other two Dark Knights also sensed the Demon King's disappearance and would definitely come here to confirm the situation.

Moreover, some powerful human mages should have sensed the awakening of the Demon King, and they are likely to follow the traces of magic to come.

Now it seems that his only option is to accede to the emir's request.

Then, after the effect of a certain reversal time was over, he recovered his body, and then quickly motioned for the emir to stop.

However, Alice's fist was not caught for a moment, but it still hit him on the head, and he thought it was time to negotiate, so he was defenseless.

"Oops, sorry, I didn't keep it." Alice scratched her head, completely unapologetic.

"It's okay, he can recover anyway." Emir's tone was cold.

Subsequently, Cornes did recover from his injury, and in order to show his sincerity in compromise, he did not think much about it.

"Alright, Emir, I promise you."

Cornes said helplessly, and then summoned Lilith with magic.

Seeing that Lilith was safe and sound, Alice was overjoyed and immediately rushed over to remove the cage where she was being held.

"Wait, you have to make sure you don't release that magic again." Cones waved his hand, and Lilith vanished.

"Tsk," Alice said impatiently, "do you think we're like you?" I haven't asked you to promise not to play tricks. ”

"Hmph, since that's the case, then there's no need to discuss, you can continue, anyway, in the end, your physical strength will be consumed before me.

"Wait a minute, Cones, it's the Emir who is in charge of our affairs, shouldn't you negotiate terms with him first?" Ophelia reminded at the right time.

"Hehe, that's what I'm saying, I can't be as knowledgeable as this kind of thing." Cornes was dismissive of Alice.

In fact, he said this because he could see that Alice was an impatient and short-tempered person, the kind of person who could not listen to the contempt of others.

However, his little plan failed, and Alice did not show anger and did not quarrel with Ophelia.

At this time, the emir spoke.

"Cornes, I can guarantee that as long as you give Lilith back to us, we will leave directly, and if you don't believe it, then I can't help it."

Cones hesitated slightly, then agreed, and this time he released the humanoid Lilith directly out of the cage.

Alice hurriedly rushed over and pulled her sister over, and then the two sides formed a confrontation situation.

"What? Do you want to break your word? Cornes asked loudly.

"That's not true, it's just that you demons have always been known for being insidious and cunning, so we have to watch out."

"Hmph, you have the ability to turn back time, what else can I do?" Cornes spread his hands and continued, "Emir, if you really keep the agreement, then get out with your men, or I will regret it." ”

However, Alice stood up and said.

"Emir, this guy has no power to fight back in the face of the white dragon's magic, so it's better to take this opportunity to ......"

But the emir did not agree, because with their current ability, they could not kill Cornes at all, and it was very likely that Cornes would be calculated if they continued to stay here.

"Let's go back." The emir whispered.

"However, we finally managed to get him to compromise, is that all?" Alice didn't give up.

At this time, Ophelia stood up and persuaded her.

"Alice, you should know very well, you are the strongest among us, and you fought him just now, do you really think you have the ability to kill him?"

Speaking of which, Alice had to agree with Emir's decision, in fact, she just didn't want to admit it, after all, Cornes could kidnap Lilith today, and he could do the same in the future, and only by killing him could he never suffer in the future.

But now it seems that this is just a luxury, and they can only choose to leave.
