The seal was lifted.

The iceberg shattered.

But the most important demon king is nowhere to be found.

I have to say that this news has too much impact on Aurelia and others.

"How could it be ..............."

Looking at the coffin in front of her, Aurelia couldn't believe it.

"Why is this happening? Obviously, according to the legend, the demon king should be in the coffin........."

"Let me see."

Duanmu Huai reached out and pressed the edge of the coffin, and then, his eyes began to gradually become deep and dim.

The world around him began to change, it was dim, and a blizzard with a howling cold wind was blowing in his face, and Duanmu Huai could feel the coffin shaking, and then stopped. Then, the lid of the coffin opened, and a strange old face appeared in front of him.

"Can it really be sealed for 5,000 years?"

"I don't know, but for now, it's the best thing to do."

Another voice sounded, but Duanmu Huai couldn't see his face, he was just going back in time through this coffin now, as for what the coffin could feel, it was not something he could control.

"If I could, I'd like to kill him directly."

"But you know it's impossible, if you kill him now, he'll come back for three hundred years at most."

That's right.

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, this is what the subspace creatures are more troubled about, they are almost immortal as soul creatures, and they die because of different races, and the treatment of resurrection is different. Some of them are like the protagonists of the rebirth stream, who can die and bring their own memories to resurrect again from the baby, and some of them lose their memories after resurrection and become a different person entirely.

But in any case, unless you have the ability to completely kill even a god like the death of a fateful person like Duanmu Huai, or the power of the god of destruction to completely destroy everything, it is better to directly seal it than to kill the opponent and then wait for the opponent to resurrect and make a comeback in three hundred years.

If you are lucky, sealing it for 5,000 years and 10,000 years is not much more cost-effective than killing it directly.

Therefore, the way most worlds deal with subspace creatures is basically seals.

As for whether the demon king who will be imprisoned and crazy after 510,000 years will come out to take revenge, that's none of their business.

After 10,000 years, it is estimated that even the bones of their grandson's grandson's grandson's grandson will be turned to ashes, and they still care about this?

"Quick, it's now, let the Demon King in!"

Soon, another person dressed as a priest came over and gave an order, and then Duanmu Huai saw a tall barbarian warrior carrying a corpse coming over, Duanmu Huai couldn't see clearly in this direction, but he could see that the other party was wearing black armor, black hair, and a pair of demonic horns on his head———Well, you said this is a demon king, and it does look like that."

"Bang!"

The demon king was thrown directly into the coffin, and the entire coffin was smashed for a while.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, the old mage from before glared at the barbarian dissatisfiedly.

"The magic array on this coffin is very exquisite, if you smash it a little, then all your efforts will be wasted!"

"If you can smash it, it means that your magic is not good, old man!"

The barbarian glared at the old magician and snorted. And an elven archer next to him waved his hand helplessly.

"It's all this time, you guys are still noisy! Hurry up and get it done, I always have a bad premonition in my heart........."

Well............... Warriors, priests, barbarians, old mages, archers, all look like a fixed group of five in an adventure.

Duanmu Huai concentrated his mind and looked at the scene in front of him again. Now the people had stuffed the demon king into the coffin and stabbed the holy sword into his body, and then the old mage and priest and the archers raised their hands and began to chant incantations, while the barbarians and warriors guarded them. Soon, the magic array began to emerge, a huge amount of energy trembled in it, and the cold ice gradually began to condense, and soon, the ritual reached the most critical moment.

However, at this time, suddenly, a change occurred.

The warrior who was originally standing on the side walked behind the barbarian at some point, and a sword pierced directly through the barbarian's heart. The latter didn't expect to be betrayed by his companion at this time, and fell to the ground without saying a word with wide eyes. Then the warrior drew his long sword and rushed directly at the elf, and the dagger in his hand was thrown out directly, impartially stabbing into the elf's heart.

"What are you doing?!!

Seeing this, both the priest and the mage were taken aback, but it was too late, the warrior had already killed the priest with a backhand sword at this moment, and then stabbed another sword into the old mage's heart.

Since everyone's attention and all their strength was focused on the matter of sealing the Demon King, they were completely unprepared for the sudden attack of the warrior, so that the warrior easily succeeded, and a moment later, the four adventurers had already fallen to the ground, their eyes widened, and they became dead corpses.

The warrior walked over to the coffin and reached out to grab the holy sword———Well, at least, it seems that he is quite skilled in this area.

"I really didn't expect it, a wonderful betrayal."

At this moment, the voice of another strange man sounded, and he didn't have to think about Duanmu Huai to guess that this should be the Demon King.

"When the Demon King is defeated and everything is restored to peace, and the brave man kills his companions, then, what do you want? Mortal? ”

"A contract."

The warrior stared coldly at the coffin and spoke.

"A deal."

"Hahahaha."

Hearing the warrior's words, the Demon King burst out laughing.

"It's funny, a deal, what kind of deal?"

"Give me your strength, I need your strength."

"Do you need my strength?"

The Demon King's voice was full of questions.

"You defeated me, and now you need my strength?"

"You're not my enemy anymore, Demon King."

The warrior's tone was colder than the cold wind in the snow.

"Now, I have other enemies, and they are not enemies that can be defeated by simply wielding a blade."

"So, you need my strength, it's funny."

The Demon King chuckled.

"So, what's your deal?"

"You give me your power, I can give up sealing you, but you have to make a contract with me that you will not enter this world again for five hundred years!"

"It's simply not enough!"

The Demon King is obviously not a soft persimmon either.

"It's not a fair deal!"

"It's not your turn now, I'm the one in charge of the ceremony!"

The warrior raised his voice suddenly.

"If you don't want to, then you will be sealed for five thousand years! Take your pick! ”

"But that's not enough! That being the case, I have a proposal too! ”

“…………… What proposal? ”

"I can grant your request, but I also have my request, that in five hundred years, your descendants will be my slaves, driven by me for generations to come! Forever! It's a contract! ”

“……………………”

Hearing the Demon King's request, the warrior gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Deal!"

As he spoke, the warrior suddenly pulled out the blade that pierced through the Demon King's body.

"Good!"

The next moment, the coffin suddenly opened, and a humanoid shadow flew out of it.

"The contract is established, I will return to my plane immediately, ah, by the way, in order to avoid accidents, I will leave a part of my power here——— after all, you are the heroes who defeated the Demon King, aren't you? By the way, I took the souls of your companions, and I think they will enjoy their life in hell. ”

", Demon King!"

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to that moment in five hundred years!"

After saying this, the black shadow suddenly flew into the sky and disappeared into the darkness, and the flames it left behind scattered and exploded, instantly devouring the four corpses, and then turned into a huge demon standing in front of the coffin. At the same time, the warrior roared angrily, suddenly raised his right hand, and the next moment saw the endless ice break through the earth, completely sealing the huge demon and the coffin.

“…………………”

Looking at the frozen demon and the coffin in front of him, the warrior was silent for a moment, then he turned decisively and disappeared into the blizzard.

“…………………”

How to say it, this plot is really unexpected.

Duanmu Huai silently opened his eyes and glanced at Aurelia with a complicated expression, who noticed his eyes and looked at Duanmu Huai suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Mr. Duanmu? ”

"No, well, I'm interested in the story of the brave men of the kingdom of Luminas, why don't you tell me?"

"The legend of the brave? Everyone knows this story, the original Brave and his companions traveled to the Far North to eliminate the Demon King who tried to rule the world, and in this great battle, the Brave lost four of his companions, but finally succeeded in sealing the Demon King. When he returned, King Luminas married the princess to the Brave, and Luminus became one of the most powerful nations in the land..............."

As she spoke, Aurelia reached out and pressed the badge on her chest.

"I am a descendant of the Brave, and I have sworn to protect this country like my ancestors!"

"Well, I don't think you're like him as well........."

In the face of Aurelia's answer, what else could Duanmu Huai say.

He felt that if he told Aurelia about the history he had seen in the coffin, he might not be able to find him desperately.

In fact, to be honest, Duanmu Huai can guess a little bit why the brave will turn against the water, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks is the law that has not changed for thousands of years, once the demon king is dead, then the brave will naturally be useless. And for the ruler, the high prestige of the brave man among the people and the powerful force that he himself can destroy even the demon king are obviously a threat.

It is clear that the brave themselves are well aware of this.

He is not a demon king, he can't live for hundreds or thousands of years, and human beings will always weaken, grow old, and lose everything.

Maybe this brave man discovered this, so he finally made this decision.

As for the story——— joke, the survivor is alone, and he doesn't make it up as much as he wants.

But then......... It's a lot more troublesome.
