When the man approached, the emir noticed that he was dressed in a thick armor with a dark red surface, as if there was lava flowing.

It was clear that he was the first Dark Knight the Emir had ever encountered.

"Pedro?" The emir was amazed.

He always felt that it was a pity that he couldn't kill Pedro in time at that time, and there was no news at all, so Emir had to wait until he defeated Cornes to clean up this guy.

But now that the emir did not go to him, he ran out on his own, which can be said to be self-defeating.

As a result, the emir became vigilant, and Pedro dared to appear here must have received an order from Cornes to come and consume their combat power.

However, this is not the case, and the Emir is now able to take charge on his own, even without Anne's help, it is more than enough to kill a Dark Knight.

However, seeing that Emir was about to make a move, and the people around him were ready to join the battle at any time, Pedro hurriedly took off his helmet.

"Wait, don't rush to do it yet, I'm not here to find fault."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's take your life!"

Anne didn't want to hear him at all, and immediately condensed a large cloud of wind elements with her wand and threw it at him.

Seeing that terrifying attack was about to strike, Pedro had no choice but to fight, but instead of using the magic sword, he used two hands to block.

His armor had been restored, and it was supposed to be able to block the attack, but it turned into pieces under the influence of the wind elemental.

At this time, Ophelia saw that he was without the protection of his armor, and planned to end the battle directly with a fatal blow.

Pedro also sensed the change in Ophelia's magic, and he knew very well that if he took this move head-on, he would definitely be killed on the spot.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself that all the current humans were so strong? The dignified Demon Dark Knight couldn't get the slightest benefit.

However, he can't just die, he still has to get rid of the traitors.

When Pedro sensed that the Demon King had disappeared from this world, he immediately understood that someone had betrayed the Demon King, and the answer was obvious, even if the power of human beings was different from that of more than five hundred years ago, it was impossible to defeat the Demon King in such a short period of time, and the only possibility was that Cornes finally showed his true face.

Once upon a time, because of the disagreement of concepts, his relationship with Cornes was very stiff, and not long after that, he happened to bump into a conversation between Cornes and an elf, and learned that they were going to cooperate with the Demon King, and he was furious at that time, and ran directly to the Demon King to denounce Cornes.

But the Demon King knew that the relationship between the two of them was not good, and he thought that Pedro was maliciously slandering Cones, and in the end, the Demon King, who had always hated infighting, scolded him fiercely.

Pedro felt very aggrieved, but he was helpless, he knew that Cornes had always been the strongest dark knight, and his position in the heart of the demon king was naturally self-evident, how could he bring down that traitor?

Now, more than 500 years have passed, and Cornes has really done it, Pedro's mood has become very complicated for a while, on the one hand, the misunderstanding he received has finally been cleared up, because he expected that before the demon king died, he would definitely regret not listening to him at the beginning, but on the other hand, he hoped that the demon king could live, and the grievances he suffered were nothing at all.

It's just that things have happened, and the only thing he can do is to avenge the demon king.

Of course, he was very aware of the gap between his strength and Cornes, not to mention that that guy must have seized the power of the Demon King, and he couldn't have a chance of winning.

So he made a decision that even scared him, and that was to cooperate with humans.

Although he also resisted a little, because he went to Cornes to take revenge, in a sense, he was purging traitors for the demons, and his act of cooperating with humans was also a traitor's act?

However, Pedro is an outlier among the demons, he never thinks about the collective, and the only one who is loyal to the demon king is the only one, so he doesn't care what happens to the demons, revenge on Cones is the meaning of his life.

At this time, in the face of Ophelia's scarlet piercing, he had to resist, but not to kill the other party, but to allow himself to survive.

In the nick of time, a voice interrupted Ophelia's charge.

"Wait a minute! Sister Ophelia. Mi'er suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Ophelia didn't understand what she was trying to do, but she stopped, "What's wrong?" ”

"I could feel it, he was crying." Mi'er said with a serious face.

"What? Who are you talking about? It can't be this guy, right? ”

Anne couldn't believe it, after all, these monsters didn't blink their eyes when they killed humans, they didn't even have feelings, how could they cry when they were facing death.

At this time, Charlotte stood up and touched Mier's head.

"Anne, don't doubt this child, her empathy ability is quite strong, but I wonder that monsters can feel sad."

Listening to their words, the emir thought for a moment, he saw all the actions of Pedro just now, although he did not believe that he had reformed and abandoned evil and good, but he obviously did not come to kill them.

In this case, this guy can't afford to turn over the wind and waves anyway, so let's spare his life for the time being and see what he wants to do.

"Pedro, don't tell me you're on the side of the humans." The emir teased.

Pedro was finally relieved to see that they were no longer moving, but he was still a little uncomfortable in the face of Emir's ridicule.

“…… Truth be told, I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”

"Tsk, dare to love that the sun has come out of the west today, right, and the monsters will ask humans for help? No kidding! ”

"Hehe, believe it or not, but I do want you to help me defeat Cornes." Pedro smiled wryly and then stated his purpose.

"Oh?" The emir crossed his arms and looked at him with interest.

"Why? You're companions. Ophelia clearly didn't believe that.

"Haha, mate?" Pedro laughed, then said indignantly, "Would you call the guy who killed your most important person a companion?" ”

When they heard this, they all looked at each other.

Next, Pedro narrated his grievances with Cornes, and finally said that the reason why he was still alive was to avenge the Demon King, otherwise he would have committed suicide a long time ago.

After listening to the narration, everyone present had different expressions, but the common point was that their attitude towards Pedro was still mostly vigilant.

"The story is good, but if we want to believe it, wouldn't it be more sincere?" Anne clapped her hands and said.

"yes, you've got to give us a reason to believe you." The emile also agreed with Anne's words.

Pedro looked at them and nodded silently.

"I see."

He took out the magic sword from the spatial crack and raised it with his left hand, obviously to release some kind of sword technique, and everyone was immediately alert, but he finally slashed at his right hand.

The emir then understood why he held the sword in his left hand, and immediately felt a hint of admiration for his enlightenment.

The golden sparkle in the magic sword can suppress the self-healing ability of the monster, so the severed right hand did not grow, and the others saw this scene and believed him for the time being, after all, a dark knight with a broken hand would have a great reduction in combat effectiveness, not to mention that Pedro's magic level was the lowest among all the people present, probably because the injury last time had not fully recovered.

"So what do you want to do?" The emir asked him, but immediately added, "However, you must understand one thing, we were originally going to crusade against Cones, who became the Demon King, and you can only help us at most, and we cannot do what you have to say." ”

"Yes, of course I do," Pedro nodded, "I just want you to help me fix my armor and magic sword, and other than that, I won't be acting with you so you don't have to worry about me suddenly turning back." ”

"However, who can say for sure what happened at that time, if you go it alone and end up taking refuge in Cornes, we won't have time to regret it."

Pedro suddenly became a little impatient, because he had always thought of himself as a proud Dark Knight, and now he had been humbled to this point, and he didn't expect this group of humans to have to take an inch.

After a few seconds of silence, he still chose to compromise, and at this time his heart was bitter, because even the Demon King was dead, and his arrogance was meaningless.

"So be it, I can give you my most important things."

Without waiting for the emir to agree, Pedro plunged his remaining hand into his chest, and with a low roar of pain, he actually took out his heart.

Strangely, Pedro didn't die because of this, and the palm-sized heart was still beating regularly.

He then took out another box, put the heart in it, and finally handed it to the emir.

"If you find out that I have betrayed you, you can crush my heart at any time, and I will die immediately, how about it? Now you should trust me. ”

Everyone was amazed by this behavior, and at the same time, they had a little more trust in him.

At this time, Lustie, who was familiar with monsters, stood up and said.

"Well, a monster of the level of the Dark Knight can indeed survive temporarily without the heart, but the time is limited, if the heart does not return to the body after three days, he will still die instantly, and then no matter how far we are from him, as long as we destroy this heart, he will die."

Hearing Lestie's words, everyone was completely relieved.

Then, as a sign of trust, the Emir decided to immediately help Pedro repair his equipment, and before leaving, Pedro did not forget to provide the necessary gold sparkle.

"By the way, Pedro," Anne said suddenly, as she waited, "since you want to seek revenge on Cones, there is also a Dark Knight...... Oh, it's the ...... of the wind attribute."

"You mean Roaini?" Pedro blurted out.

"Well, will she join us too?"

As a result, Pedro shook his head.

"Don't think about it, that guy is an admirer of Cornes, and she will definitely be on Cornes' side then."

“…… That's right. ”

Anne couldn't help but smile wryly, because if she wasn't paying attention, that guy would disarm the spherical defense around her and destroy the alien space with a magic sword.

Up to now, the other space is full of holes, and the tens of thousands of small pieces of paper that Emir prepared for her before have been used up, but they are completely impossible to repair, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before that guy escapes.
