Chapter 8: The Weakest Demon King's Choice

Who the hell is he?

Careful planning shows that he is a thoughtful man. But why would such a person still want to assassinate Amilia? The brave man is recognized as the strongest human being, doesn't he know that being the enemy of the brave is completely seeking death?

Besides, he's just a kid.

Could it be that his purpose was not to assassinate Emilia at all, but to ......

Edward vaguely felt that the matter was not over.

"Why?" said Emilia angrily to Edward, who was hiding in the grass in the distance, as if she had found the mastermind behind it.

Edward was depressed.

You ask me, who do I ask? It's like I did it......

"Amilia, I ask you, do you know that boy?" asked Edward.

"Huh, how can I know him?"

"I don't think I know. Sure enough, it's a bit bad......"

I don't know, it means that I am not looking for revenge, and the ruthless style at the cost of my surname also excludes the possibility of buying a murderer. Moreover, that guy also used a seventh-order magic scroll and black magic, neither of which ordinary people can have.

Paying such a huge cost may not be as simple as seeking revenge.

There is only one conclusion...... Emilia is being targeted by some terrible organization!

That is, there must be a follow-up attack!

Edward suddenly remembered that Emilia seemed to have been forced back a total of ten steps. If the whole set of plans is well designed, then ......

It's a trap!

A dark red halo suddenly appeared in the surroundings, the sky suddenly became dark, the magical elements in the air became extremely active, several beams of light spread around Emilia's feet, and strange symbols appeared on the ground.

Eighth-Order Magic Enchantment!

Emilia was bound in place by the barrier, unable to move half a step.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you want to do this, the seventh-order magic scroll is okay, what's the trouble with the eighth-order enchantment? It's just to kill a stupid woman, as for being so popular?"

Now, they're dead......

Edward had a headache.

What level of organization did Emilia provoke, paying for a seventh-order magic scroll and a human life just to lure her into the final magical realm?

Activating the Eighth-Order Barrier requires a huge amount of mana, and Emilia will definitely find out before that, but the boy's suicide attack keeps her from being distracted, and makes her willingly stand at the center of the barrier!

But that's not all!

A whole line of black-robed and black-hooded creatures suddenly emerged from the woods, not saying a word of nonsense, like trained killers who only knew how to hunt their targets!

It's ...... Multicast!

Gather the power of more than a dozen magicians to shorten the chanting time and unleash powerful magic in the shortest possible time.

Forbidden Spell of the Ninth Order Flame System - Falling Heaven and Earth!

The previous suicide attacks were simply bait. They first weakened Emilia with soul detonation and lured her into the enchantment, and then unleashed a terrifying ninth-order forbidden spell to blast her to death. Emilia trapped in the enchantment can't dodge, can't run, can't run away, can only resist a ninth-order forbidden spell!

Her shoulder wound had long since been split open by a few reluctant swings of the sword, and the bloody wound was unbearable to look at. No one dared to resist the ninth-order forbidden spell head-on, and there could be no other ending than being bombarded and killed. What's more, now Emilia is not only injured, but also weakened by the detonation of her soul.

What a vicious plan!

At this moment, after the chanting was finished, a terrifying huge fireball fell from the sky, the size of a small mountain. It seems to devour everything in the world, burning everything up.

Even in the mortal situation, there was no trace of panic on Emilia's face. The milky white light suddenly spread and surrounded her, dazzling like the sun in the sky. She clenched the holy sword with both hands, turned sideways slightly, and made a simple slash that couldn't be simpler.

At this moment, only the girl who refused to admit defeat was left in heaven and earth, stubbornly waving the sword in her hand.

One person, one sword, invincible!

The scorching light nearly blinded Edward's eyes, and it took a long time for it to recover. When I opened my eyes again, the forest was in shambles, the charred grass and leaves were shattered, the fire element in the air was suffocating, and there was no life within a radius of ten meters!

Edward could no longer find the invincible brave man, and he only saw a weak girl named Emilia.

Without an ornate sword or sturdy armor, Emilia was just an ordinary girl.

She stood trembling and panting, the bandages around her shoulders already blown away, revealing bloody wounds, and her clothes in tatters. A breeze blew, and she shook inexplicably, staggering, and the mere completion of this action made her spit out a large mouthful of blood.

To Edward's relief, no matter how embarrassed the girl was, her stubborn eyes had not faded.

There is even a living mouth under the ninth-order forbidden spell! If other magicians see it, it is estimated that their eyeballs will be scared off. But the black-robed magicians were not surprised at all, as if they had never thought of killing the brave man simply, and they continued to chant obscure spells in an orderly manner, preparing for the next magic that would take away Amilia's life!

What should Edward do, escape, and sneak away before the enemy finds him.

"Escape......

Just because Emilia herself is trapped in the barrier can't move, doesn't mean that others can't move either. Edward scurried out of the grass, picked up Emilia like a bride, and ran away, despite Emilia's resistance.

In his panic, Edward saw what appeared to be a small purple object falling out. For some reason, a tear slipped through the corner of Amilia's eye.

Edward didn't understand why she was crying.

She's a strong and brave man.

As the hope of all mankind and the brave man who fought the demons to the end, she was betrayed by humans and assassinated, so the cruel reality made her collapse?

This is indeed a sad story.

"Why......" Emilia asked in a staccato voice.

"Why are you crying, how do I know?"

"I—I didn't cry ......"

Amilia's voice began to tremble, and she struggled to break free of Edward's hands.

"Yes, yes, you didn't cry, can't I cry. Damn, it's another ninth-order forbidden spell, I'm really going to cry if I'm going to be hit by that play...... Hey, be honest, don't move......"

"Let go of me!"

"No...... Oh, don't bite me. ā€

"Let me go, or I—I'll kill you!"

So it was a threat, and Amilia's crying voice was more like a pleading.

"Are you begging me?"

There was no answer. Immediately afterward, Edward's arm was bitten again. Severely wounded, Emilia couldn't even lift her arms, and could only use her teeth as weapons.

"Hmph, being saved by a damn and cunning demon king like me, do you feel very wronged, life is better than death?"

There was no answer, again, a sip.

"Yes, yes, that's it, humiliation, remorse? Good, remember what I said to you when you saved me?"

"I ......"

"That's right, I told you that you would regret it, so, my dear brave man, bear this remorse and humiliation, and live!"

In order to make himself run faster, Edward punched Emilia in his arms and did not pity her.

But just as he was about to get into the jungle, he suddenly stopped.

Because, in front of him appeared a group of soldiers armed with swords. Edward didn't believe he was so lucky that he could come across reinforcements or something.

They are certainly enemies too.

Thinking about it, how could such a vicious plan be set up for Edward and the others to escape so easily? This group of soldiers should be the last insurance, specially designed to deal with the sudden appearance of thorns like Edward.

Desperate.

Now there is only one option left for Edward.

Kill all the miscellaneous soldiers, and then win in style?

What a joke, Edward can't do it. If you want to ask why, he has no strength and can only beg for mercy to achieve "victory", just like against the brave, otherwise, he will only have a dead end.

There is no chance to find the tears of the goddess, let alone recover the memory and catch the real murderer.

So, surrender?

Surrender to the brave, Edward, who lost his memory, couldn't find a better choice, but now, let Edward surrender to these rats who didn't even dare to reveal their identities?

In Edward's memory, all the demon kings of the past dynasties died on the battlefield, either pierced by the holy sword of the brave or killed by the magic that destroyed the world, and none of them died on their knees.

Even if he is the most tragic demon king and the weakest demon king in history, he is no exception.

So......

"Night, if you don't come out again, my master and I will die!"

Edward shouted, his voice echoing through the forest.
