The year 898 of the Great Glory Calendar.

The demons who have been sealed for two hundred years have returned from the abyss.

At this time, the human race has been comfortable under the protection of the Temple of Light and the Mother of God for too long, and the kingdom is almost about to forget the terrible race beneath this abyss. Only the old men with gray hair and loose teeth would take the trouble to tell the story of the devil in front of their grandchildren.

"They have huge horns on the top of their heads, ugly scales all over their bodies, sharp claws and teeth... But the most terrifying thing is that this race has a naturally cruel and evil ...... Hey, listen, listen, little thing. If you cry again, the demon king will come and take you away at night and swallow you in your stomach! ”

"Grandpa liared! Grandpa lied! Mom said that the demons have long been locked up in the abyss, and the demon king has long since died! ”

"Oh, little thing, don't you know that the Demon King will come back to life?"

"Then there will be Miko-sama who will kill it again, and that's what the song says!"

……

The wind and sand carried the breath of blood, and drilled through the broken walls between the earthen walls.

The "resurrected" Demon King sits boredly in the middle of the tent, with his long black tail and a pair of stumps that attract the eye too much—but other than that, he has a young face and deep features. If it weren't for the scales of an alien race, everyone who saw him would have been amazed at his heroism.

At this time, he was dipping the tips of his fingernails in red ink, drawing a blood-red line on the parchment map—from the abyss to the royal city.

Suddenly there was a wail outside the tent, and the smell of blood became heavier.

It wasn't a battle, it was an execution.

Since crawling out of the cold and dark abyss and stepping on this rich and warm land, this group of demons is simply crazy, burning and looting all the way, and they can't suppress it at all.

Dusk Yao ruthlessly dealt with a group of misbehaving soldiers, breaking corners by small mistakes, and cutting off heads by big mistakes, so that he could barely find some military discipline.

"No way," the leader Zhenzan sat beside him, "Our warriors of the abyss are not as cowardly and greedy as humans, but those who are too afraid of death are sometimes difficult to manage......"

Speaking of this, the sturdy middle-aged female demon's eyes lit up and said, "Ah, speaking of humans, my guards captured a good-looking human yesterday and dedicated it to me. ”

"Oh, I've never seen such a fine-skinned little guy. The temper is also very cute, especially when crying helplessly at me...... I can't help but want to take him back to the abyss to raise him. ”

Dim suddenly raised his head: "Can humans also take it back and raise it?" ”

He seemed to be interested all of a sudden, threw down the map in his hand, sat up straight and asked, "How to raise it?" ”

Zhenzan shook his head: "It won't be long, it won't be long!" Well, it's good to be able to taste it for a few more months. ”

Okay, it turns out that Zhenzan can't raise it. The Demon King turned his face back in disappointment.

But also, in the eyes of the vast majority of demons, no matter how beautiful a human being is, it is also a beautiful cheap pig, and if it is brought to the abyss, it is probably a fate to be raised as a beast.

It seems that if you want to learn how to raise humans for a long time, you have to work hard yourself, the demon king thought to himself.

At the behest of the king, the demon army chose the most risky strategy.

This group of warlike aliens did not stay long under any city, but went directly to the center of the human land.

Dusk Yao carefully selected for two months before bringing the demon army out of the abyss, and finally equipped with the strongest wildebeest and the most skilled cavalry. If you run with all your might, the mounts of the human army will not be able to catch up at all.

For this kind of high-speed march, the leader Watie was the first to be dissatisfied.

"My king." He shouted, "Why is it not allowed to attack the city?" My warriors are tired and in need of good wine and fresh meat! ”

Riding on the horned horse, Dusk looked back at the outline of the city that had been left behind, and sneered: "Those border cities near the abyss all have a faint aura of light and mana...... Someone prepared in advance. Do you want to send your warriors to death? ”

The leader, Hathor, shouted, "My king, what is so great about the mana of mankind? Can it be compared to the breath of our demons? What's more, with that bit of mana, it is at most a defensive array. I, Black Thor, alone can hammer it to pieces! ”

Dusk Yao pointed to his broken horn: "Some humans knew about the horns of the Demon King as early as seven years ago, and the several cities around the abyss would be defenseless?" ”

"As for the wine and fresh meat," the Demon King raised his head, squinting his eyes to let the sunlight shine on his face, "the most beautiful wine and the freshest meat are all in the royal city of mankind." The good things there are worthy of our warriors. ”

……

That evening, the demon army set up camp in a deserted outskirts. There was no human population around, only a small empty temple nearby.

Pointing to the golden statue of the Mother of Light, Hethor took the lead in laughing loudly: "These stupid human pigs have actually built the temple to be magnificent, better than the house they live in!" ”

"-Now, I haven't seen any bullshit God of Light to save this group of poor believers!"

The idol was quickly shattered, and only half of its body remained. The demons threw the golden statue of the Mother of God into the wilderness outside, and sat on the altar in turn, laughing and playing.

Dusk Yao did not mix with this boring farce, and when he saw that the camp was over, he rode a wildebeest and ordered a dozen guards to go out to investigate in person.

When I returned, the fiery clouds covered the sky, and in the temple of light, which was occupied by the demons, there were people trembling and singing.

Due to some well-known past, the Demon King always remembered the Temple of Light more than the average demon. He wondered if any clerical human had not had time to escape and was caught, and suddenly became a little interested.

Dusk Yao ordered the guards to go back to the big tent first, and he didn't even get off his mount, and went directly into the horse.

It turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for him.

It is not the priesthood of this temple who sings in it. Rather, it was the human captive that Zhenzan had mentioned earlier: a very fair-looking man, or boy, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

He was dressed in the snow-white robe of an elder of the Temple of Light, which he had snatched from nowhere. The two demons pressed him and forced him to kneel on the ground.

The chieftain, Jeongzan, sat where the statue had been, drinking and waving a horsewhip, as if to force the boy to sing.

The little guy's cheeks were badly swollen, and a few blood marks were drawn from his body, and his tearful eyes were full of hatred. He also has a rare backbone, and he is singing loudly-

“…… In the far north of the snow-capped mountains, beneath the dark abyss,

There are ugly demons and evil demon kings;

The flame nurtures it, forging the heart of greed,

Cruelty, ruthlessness, and cunning, turned into fangs, scales, and claws,

It is the blood of sin and iniquity, the man of evil;

The Mother of God sealed it up, on the borders of Gathol,

until the demon is reborn, and the flames of war burn through the walls;

Bringing the shadow of death, endless sorrow,

The people are hungry for salvation, and the cry is heartbreaking......"

It was at this time that the twilight rode in, and its tall figure was gilded with a layer of golden red light by the setting sun.

He wore a suit of light armor and landed with a sonorous sound. The demons who were originally laughing and scolding were all so frightened that their legs were weak, and they didn't dare to mess around anymore.

Zhenzan, who was already half-drunk, widened his eyes and jumped up as if his butt was on fire: "I...... My King!? ”

The human boy also stared at the faint in amazement, as if he didn't expect the legendary "Evil Incarnation" to be like this, and blurted out: "You-you are...... Beelzebub? ”

"The ugly demon clan and the evil demon king......

The demon king took off his armor at will, chewed the lyrics he heard outside slowly, and said quietly: "The singing is very beautiful." ”

Zhenzan's face immediately turned red with annoyance. She was still fresh to the young man, and even his overly polite struggle could be seen as cat-and-mouse fun.

But she didn't expect that such a disrespectful song would be listened to by the king, which was simply an unimaginable faux pas!

"Damn mean pigs! A crow with a sore tongue! She scolded with bloodshot eyes, and grabbed the whip menacingly, "I should have skinned you early-"

Not only did she not care, but she also stopped Zhenzan's whip and said to the young man, "Keep singing." ”

Zhenzan: "My king ......! ”

Twilight: "Listen to me." ”

The boy's expression changed twice, and he soon regained his feelings of hatred and hatred. He sneered, tore away his trembling voice, and continued to sing—

"Inheriting the will of the Mother Goddess, the Son of God drew the longbow,

Shoot the evil Demon King, on a high cliff of ice;

O my all-knowing and all-powerful Divine Mother, my bright golden sun;

The light shines on the earth,

Driven out the blood of sin and iniquity, fellow citizens of evil,

The people rejoiced with tears for the coming spring!

O Mother God, Mother God......

Fellow Evil Fellow, Fellow Evil Fellow,

and shall perish on the earth......"

……

This song is here, and it is finally finished.

The lyrics went more and more excessively, and the surrounding demons were already frightened and silent.

Dim Bright didn't look at him, and said lazily: "Very skilled." How many years have you been singing this song? ”

The young man straightened his back and said hatefully: "We, the villagers of Kavin Village, have been singing since we were born. Kill me, you demons, everyone knows the end, and there is no shortage of me! ”

Generations, faint sneered disdainfully. I thought to myself that this kid would leave it alone, but his father had not yet been born when he learned to sing this song.

It turned out that in this sunny land, there were many people who began to sing and curse him to death before he was born.

It's a pity that Miko's plan to shoot the demon king didn't succeed. Then it is the turn of this group of singing humans to carefully experience what is called "the shadow of death" and what is called "endless sorrow".

The chieftain, Jeongzan, was very disturbed and insisted that the man who insulted the king should be put to death. Instead, she patted her on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't pretend in front of me." When you chiefs cursed me, they used more vicious words than he did. ”

After saying that, the demon king walked straight out. At the end, he left a sentence: "We will not stay in the world for a long time, it is rare to climb out to see the sun once, what are we worried about...... Just have fun. ”

But in the end, the young man was not only not taken back to the abyss by Jeongzan, but also picked up a life.

That's because after the Battle of the Royal City, the Holy Monarch Ranmuir begged the Demon King to release all the human subjects captured by the Demon Army at the cost of his own submission.

Dusk Flare didn't intend to allow the demons to bring a large number of human slaves back to the abyss. To put it mildly, compared to the cunning human race, the demons' brains do have some tendons.

The bosses, priests and other big demons are fine, and those squeaky and screaming bad demons can only be evaluated as stupid. Let human beings enter the abyss, which may not be able to set off the wind and waves for a while, but it is easy to bury hidden dangers.

Therefore, he agreed to Lanmuir's request, and at the same time became the only demon in the abyss with humans.

As for the boy who was played by the leader of Zhenzan, he had long been left in the corner of his memory by the faint and didn't know where.

Until after seven years of magnificent waves, it seems that the wind and waves have finally stopped and ushered in the end.

The song soaked in hatred suddenly revived, echoing in the demon king's mind like a ghost—

It coldly coincided with the melody that Lanmuir plucked alone in the middle of the night.
