Although I don't understand Hercules's strange behavior, it's safe to put it down.

So, the two launched another attack, but it backfired, and no matter how they attacked, Hercules just didn't fall.

It stood in place, like a tall statue, and the Emir finally understood that the only reason why he had been able to bring it down was by shaking itself.

"Damn, is there nothing that can be done?" Lucius said angrily.

The emir calmed down and looked at Hercules' feet.

Although the soil here is not as soft as the big crater, as long as you create a drop under its feet, it will not be able to stand steadily.

As soon as he thought of this, the emir carried it out, and he used what little magic he had left to bombard Hercules' feet.

As the soil was blown all over the place, a deep pit gradually formed, and Hercules' soles were so large that they had to be large enough to be blown up.

Seeing this, Lucius immediately understood his intentions, and hurriedly ran over to help, so that it wouldn't be long before Hercules would collapse again.

At the same time, inside the Iron Giant's body, Cornes successfully infiltrated it.

He had seen Hercules' internal drawings, and the instructions that the stone chairs in the cockpit would be moved to a safe place once enough energy was available to activate them.

It was pitch black, a rather small space, about the size of a giant's head, and it was also the strongest part of the giant's body, unable to explode even with its own attacks.

In fact, when Cornes saw his ultimate weapon again, he was shocked by the sight of its left arm severed.

He couldn't figure out for a moment that the invincible Hercules would have one of his arms removed, until he found the emir on the battlefield, and it dawned on him.

Although Cornes was defeated at the hands of the Emir several times, and even fled in embarrassment every time, he still looked down on this weak human boy from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was just relying on the people around him and luck.

But now it seems that he has to be annoyed by his underestimating enemy, after all, he may not be able to survive a single blow against Hercules, let alone injure the opponent's body.

However, the situation in front of him is not too grim, and he knows that Hercules has a self-healing function, and as long as it is fully activated, the world will still be under his control.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that Byron guy betraying me, maybe I would have been able to get the power of the other half of the Demon King."

Cornes gritted his teeth with hatred, and he decided to capture Byron when he had eliminated the Emir.

In order to see clearly in the darkness, he summoned a crystal ball for lighting, and the entire space was illuminated.

A large, heavy stone chair sat on which a petite girl was asleep, dozens of tiny glass pipes extending from the girl's thin body and connecting to Hercules's body to achieve complete control.

But for some reason, there were still two glass tubes dragging on the ground, as if they had fallen from Elena's body.

Cornes walked over and picked up one of them, and found that there was some blood stains on it, and he picked up the other one, which was the same, but this one was a little different, that is, he could feel a hint of warmth.

Obviously, this is not a natural shedding, and Cornes clearly remembers that when it was activated, the glass tube pierced Elena's spinal cord, which was not a blood vessel at all, so there would be no blood stains if it fell normally.

The only possibility for this is that Elena woke up and pulled out the two pipes.

One of them was lukewarm, probably just pulled out, and it still had Elena's body temperature on it.

At this point, he couldn't help but get nervous, because Elena was the only container he had available now, and if something went wrong, or he suddenly betrayed him, all his plans would be ruined.

“…… Elena, are you awake? Cornes asked cautiously.

But the girl sleeping on the stone chair did not react, her breath was very stable, and her sleeping face was quite peaceful, if she was pretending to sleep, it was too seamless.

Cornes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this would be fine, at least Elena wouldn't suffer any more pain.

It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for this only daughter, if he could, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for his daughter, but he can't die now, he still has the dream of conquering the world...... Or rather, a mission, and his life is not his own at all.

Once upon a time, his only mission was to serve the Demon King, but as the first Demon King suddenly began to reflect on his sins after killing too much, his heart began to waver.

More than 500 years ago, when he transformed from a human to a monster, a seed of world conquest took root in his heart, and he thought that the Demon King had the same idea.

But later, he found out that the Demon King only wanted to strengthen his own race and had no interest in conquering the world at all, so he decided to take the position of the Demon King.

Now, he is only one step away from his goal, how can he give up this opportunity for his daughter?

"I'm sorry, Elena, I can't help it."

Cornes looked at Elena's face, his eyes full of pity, but a little helpless.

Then, his eyes became fierce, and he picked up two glass pipes and inserted them into Elena's back.

This action made the sleeping Elena frown, but then returned to normal.

……

Elena was dreaming, a very beautiful dream, she dreamed of the days when she was a child, snuggled up to her mother all day.

If given the chance, she didn't want to help the abuse, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the guy who killed her mother.

Not long ago, when she witnessed the death of her newly made friend Adele at the hands of Cornes, she suddenly felt a strong shock in her heart.

She really didn't want to experience a second time about the feeling of losing someone important forever, but Adele's death stimulated her again.

Coupled with the fact that Cornes later used the magic of erasing memories on her, perhaps many times, she finally gained resistance at that moment, and only then did she remember all the memories of the past.

Including what my mother said to her the night before she died.

In fact, Elena's mother is also a hybrid of demons and elves, because she can't see hope in the elves, she decided to contribute to the rise of demons, and later fell in love with the conscientious Cornes.

And that day, not long after the mother and daughter were brought back to the demon by Cornes, Elena only vaguely heard that Cornes was going to involve her mother in an experiment.

That night, her mother quietly took her to a corner, told her not to trust Cornes, that he was not worthy of being her father, and told her to wait until the dead of night to sneak away.

And this happened to be heard by Cornes, who was following his mother, and he did not get angry, but touched Elena's head and smiled slightly.

Then, before the young Elena could figure out the situation, her eyes went black and she fell into a coma.

When she woke up again, it was the next morning, and she found herself lying on the bed in her bedroom, and Cones sat on the edge of the bed with a gentle face and brought her breakfast.

Before she could speak, Cornes told her the bad news and promised that he would always be with her.

As everyone knows, during the time she fell into a coma, Cornes had erased the memory of her conversation with her mother.

Now, after thinking back on the incident, Elena didn't know what the experiment was, only that her mother was killed by Cornes.

She couldn't forgive this villain, originally in order to repay her father's nurturing kindness, she would rather sacrifice her own life, but now that she has learned the truth, she has decided to avenge her mother with her own hands, so she has endured until now.

She had gone to the library of the Academy of Magic in her free time and had obtained all the information related to Hercules, so when it came to her knowledge of this ultimate weapon, she was definitely not inferior to Cones.

Unfortunately, Hercules would only follow the instructions of the person who provided the energy, otherwise she would have taken control of Hercules, and in the end he had to turn his attention to Cones.

And when you fall into a deep sleep and control Hercules with your consciousness, if you are hit violently, the driver is likely to wake up, and then Hercules's actions will also stop.

Of course, she herself could not guarantee that she would be hit, so she could only pin all her hopes on Emir, and Emir did not live up to her expectations.

At this time, Hercules stopped acting precisely because Elena, as the driver, had completely awakened after two impacts.

So Cornes still looked away, she was now pretending to be asleep.

Cornes then walked over to the energy device in front of the stone chair and reached out to grope for the bottom of the device, and after a while he found a circular area engraved with runes.

With the last shred of his magic, he opened the spatial rift, from which he summoned a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, rich in magical power.

He infused a small portion into himself so that he could unleash some small-scale magic and the rest of the magic was supplied to the runes.

As he did this, he didn't notice that on the stone chair behind him, Elena pulled out a sharp crystal dagger, the tip of which shone with a cold light, and slowly approached him.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful your emir is, you can't match Hercules, who has the ability to heal itself."

When Cones finished, he couldn't help but smirk.

But in the next second, his expression distorted, and the severe pain made him can't help but let out a scream.

"Ahhhhh

"Hehe, it's painful, isn't it? It's okay, when I get you on your way, you won't feel anything. ”

Elena sneered and turned the crystal dagger, causing a larger wound.

Although Cornes still had enough stamina to heal himself, Elena was clearly prepared, and the dagger was mixed with goldenrodite.

"Why? Aren't you supposed to fulfill your mission? Cornes said incredulously.

"Mission, you say?" Elena said coldly, "Isn't my mission to avenge my mother?" ”

“…… You, do you remember it all? ”

"That's right, although I don't know what you did to make my mother judge you like that, but no matter what, my mother and I will always be on the side."

"Hehe," Cornes smiled helplessly, and then his face returned to calm, "I didn't expect that such a powerful magic still failed to completely erase your memory, maybe it wasn't the magic to erase memories, but it just hid some sad things." ”

"You ......" Elena was surprised this time, "Impossible, why are you okay?" ”

Instead of answering, Cornes grabbed Elena by the neck with one hand and lifted her up.

"My dear daughter, I would have liked you to let you fall asleep like this, at least you wouldn't witness any more pain, but alas, you didn't take advantage of this opportunity, so it's no wonder that I'm not going to blame."

"Bastard, you killed my mother, and now you want to kill me again?" Elena roared as she struggled violently.

She didn't want to die at all now, because she still wanted revenge, but for some reason, her plan still failed, could she never get rid of this demonic man?

"Don't worry, I won't let you die, but the energy on your body must be handed over to me."

As he spoke, Cones began to extract the magic from Elena's body, and in a few moments, she collapsed to the ground.

The crystal dagger in his hand fell to the ground and shattered in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Elena suddenly realized that a weapon mixed with gold pyroxene would not be so fragile, so it must have been Cones who secretly dropped the bag while she was falling asleep.

Then, with a small amount of magic, Cones summoned a black cage to imprison Elena, then sat down on a stone chair and inserted all the glass tubes into his body.

"Hmph, don't you want to be a good person? Then keep your eyes open and see how I killed those who stood in my way, and this is the punishment for your betrayal of me. ”

With that, Cones fell into a deep sleep and took complete control of Hercules' body.
