"Well, at this time, you don't want to do what you have to do, but you came to me to do what you are doing......?

Aisha was sitting at the counter sipping hot tea when an unexpected guest walked in through the door.

"I knew you should be here...... As for why I'm here, I'm just asking for your help. ”

"Huh, do you still need my help?" "In Aisha's opinion, someone like Skarsa should be able to deal with the situation in front of him, right?" ”

Aisha shrugged helplessly, signaling that there was nothing she could do.

"No, by help, I actually want you to lend me something......

Skasa's request made Aisha's eyes narrow.

What is there here that Skarsa desperately needs right now, and it applies to the situation at the moment...... Aisha soon had an answer of her own.

"This is a relic left to me by my biological mother in this life, how can it be so easy to 'lend' it to you?"

It's not that Aisha is determined to lend it, but Aisha knows that there is nothing more than what her mother's relics can do, in fact, with Skasa's ability, she can do it by herself - but now Skarsa actually came to him for help...... Aisha felt that one of the things was wrong.

“...... At the very least, you have to explain the situation, right? I still know the details of your side, if you have to rely on the power of that relic...... What the hell is going on?"

"Can the urgency of the situation allow me to talk about it later?"

"For me. This is the only relic that has a mother's breath left - don't you say that you don't know the Dao, this is just a one-time prop once it works, don't you give me a reasonable explanation?"

"How can someone like you care so much about 'mother'...... That's pretty hard. ”

"Since you yourself said that the situation is urgent. Then please don't tear up the topic yourself......" Aisha glared at Skasa, who was habitually crooked, "and. I've always had delicate feelings, and that's not surprising. ”

That is, there is usually nothing that makes her emotionally engaged...... Is it?

Inadvertently, Aisha had taken out a ring encrusted with purple crystals.

"Here you go. ”

"What's the matter, suddenly so heartily agreed?"

Skarsa reached out and took the ring from Aisha, but asked Aisha suspiciously—he didn't think that Aisha was so happy because he was worried about the safety of the people in the city.

"Presumably, it's selfishness, right?" Aisha glanced helplessly at her feet.

Because her body is still very weak, Aisha can't spot all kinds of hard-to-find anomalies as easily as she usually does. But just now, she noticed that Lynn and the others were strange—combined with Skasa's request. She also guessed the specific reason.

Probably Skarsa was in the same mood and was in such a hurry to find himself, right? After all, there were also his precious disciples among them......

[If Lin was alone, it would still be easy for her to run away, but this situation made her leave her friends and run away by herself, no matter how she thought about it, it was not something she did...... Forget it, after all, it's just something with commemorative value. 】

"When you're done, you don't have to pay me back. ”

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

"Without my mother's breath, there's no point in me staying...... At the end of the day, that's just the thing. ”

“...... Appreciate. ”

After Skarsa got the ring. He bowed to Aisha, and then hurried away - although Aisha still handed him the ring "generously" after the last day, but until the last time, Aisha's gaze that never took off the ring still made Skarsa feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

【From ...... Is it underground?】

The act of blasting underground water channels was abandoned. Moving to a deeper underground area, Aisha almost understood what the other party wanted to do.

"Take advantage of the properties of underground waterways. Is it forced to acquire a person higher than the local leyline for a short period of time, making it a network similar to the spirit vein? Sure enough, it's to support the big guy on the ground...... I hope the old man Skasana is not too late. Although Lin will probably have no problem there for a while, Xia is there...... Really, don't die. ”

Aisha tried to summon the magic in her body, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood in her throat, she had to give up the idea of supporting her.

[If you really can't do it......]

=================

"This guy is ...... all of a sudden."

In order to evacuate the people who were still in the city, the mages of the guild collectively arranged an enchantment to restrain the huge monsters that had been inexplicably summoned. The situation that was originally going well was broken by the sudden strengthening of the monster.

The earth, which carried the weight of people, suddenly began to provide strength for the huge monster.

And these mages also discovered the anomaly of the earth under their feet for the first time.

"The spiritual veins of the land have been destroyed...... Now it's been rewritten as a very evil gesture!"

It's as if it existed specifically to provide a steady stream of power to the huge monster - with the help of the power of the earth, the monster in front of it not only increased greatly in terms of strength, but also, like the legendary Titan who would not be hurt if he stood on the earth, received the help of the earth.

"After all, what the hell is this guy!? Although the demons themselves are rare, they can be completely immune to the resistance of all kinds of elemental magic, even dragons are not so strong!

It was hard to rely on the enchantment to trap it, and if such a monster with almost no weaknesses was allowed to act recklessly, God knows how much damage it would cause!

Magic doesn't do much. Do you still have to count on warriors? Even a warrior as good as the Lord of Bourne Castle is not enough to deal with such a monster with a large difference in size.

"It's a matter of course that you have a strong resistance to magic. After all, this is a doppelganger of the demon god summoned through sacrifice, although it is due to the strength of the sorcerer himself. In the end, I got such a monster that is difficult to control under the wisdom, but the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse......"

Originally, the mage who was just complaining alone, didn't expect anyone to answer him.

He maintains a corner of the enchantment here, and there are no teammates of his own, and he doesn't think there will be any civilians stranded at this time-the size of that monster is really impossible to hide......

"You ......"

"Ah, I'm just a passing dark mage. ”

Natsu doesn't care about revealing his identity, and perhaps for others, "Black Mage" is a discredited title. But in the eyes of senior mages, "black magician" is not an equation with "evil".

Although it cannot be denied that there are indeed many notorious scum, there are not many black magicians with reliable character - besides, in fact, there is no shortage of black magic research in the association. It's just that compared with other types of magic, black magic is more likely to arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts and lead people to depravity.

And now the girl beside him has clear eyes, and she is not the kind of person who is bound by the evil thoughts of magic.

"The barrier is running out of control...... Originally, it was intended to rely on the power of the earth to restrain the other party. I didn't expect this to happen now. ”

Xia was also worried a little in his heart at the moment for Lin, who was in the underground waterway.

"yes, it's a shame. ”

The mage, who was still doing his best efforts, trying to delay as much as possible for a second is a second, said helplessly.

What will happen when the barrier shatters? The mage couldn't imagine that in order to maintain the barrier, which was already on the weak side of the scales. They had already done their best, and they didn't have the extra energy to fight the monsters after that. Fortunately, the elder of the Scazar is still here. And he's trying to resolve the crisis.

Only, during this time. Who is going to stop this furious monster that has escaped its shackles? If you get close, you'll be ruthlessly crushed, right?

"Peace of mind, I'm here for this situation......"

"Kid, don't be foolish!" the mage was frightened into a cold sweat by Xia's "bold words", "This guy is not an opponent that can be defeated by man!"

Although the girl in front of him is a black mage (self-proclaimed), it is rare that she does not have that dark taste, this mage still has a very good impression of Xia, and he doesn't want Xia to have any accidents because of this.

"That's right, it's true that manpower is invincible......" Xia nodded in agreement with the mage's dissuasion, but turned around and asked the other party again, "But I didn't say that I want to use 'manpower' as an enemy of it~"

"You ......"

The mage also wanted to dissuade Natsu, but the black aura that suddenly overflowed from Natsu's body made his words come to an abrupt end.

"I'm here just for a child, and for my own relationship with 'them'...... No matter what you say, no matter how much you say, I won't listen to you~"

What a pure, poignant despair.

It is also extremely evil, if that monster is chaotic and mixed with a fiery desire to kill, then the aura overflowing from the girl in front of her is extremely pure, and unlike the other party's killing intent, she is wrapped in a desperate despair that is enough to collapse an army with strong fighting spirit.

"As you can see, at that time, my mind was blank and there were only such emotions left. Although the desperation around her almost affected the cultivator, Xia herself was not affected, and she turned back to the mage with a "V" gesture.

"But don't worry, the kind of guy who is bound by instinctive malice can't win over me. ”

"You...... Finally...... Who is it?"

It's all up to this, he won't be naïve enough to think that the girl in front of him is just an ordinary black magician.

"It's all said. It's just a passing dark mage. ”

"At least...... Tell me your name, will you?"

Xia thought for a moment and said softly:

"Nevermore"

......

After holding on for a while. The crumbling barrier was finally shattered by the enraged monsters. However, at this time. There are still many people who have not been able to evacuate from dangerous areas.

Emotions of panic, fear, and despair continue to enter the brain of the giant monster, making it feel heartfelt pleasure.

In that case, why not make the pleasure even more intense?

Without the obnoxious barriers, the monsters can finally stretch their hands and feet. Just as it was about to step towards the residential area where many civilians were still left, a sudden change occurred from under its feet.

The pitch black was like a flame, and the magic power full of the same fiery malice burst into the sky, and the black magic power gradually condensed into a huge and vague human form. Forcibly blocked the way of the monster.

"Uh...... The first time I tried to do this, it was a bit of a struggle......"

At the position of the forehead of the black humanoid, through the layers of black magic that surrounds him, Xia can clearly see everything outside. At the same time, the burning pain seeped into her body from every pore on Natsu's body, almost making her breathless.

"Still, it feels pretty good. ”

Although the intense pain was eating away at his body every moment, Xia still felt a heartfelt sense of refreshment—he no longer suppressed the residual strength from the demon god in his body. The moment they were released from the body that had bound them for nearly ten years, an indescribable comfort hit Xia's heart.

It's as if the weight that has been pressing down on the depths of my heart has been removed.

"It's a little different from what I expected, even if all these evil thoughts are released, they won't affect me?" Originally, he had made some preparations to deal with the deterioration of his mental state. In the end, none of them came to use, which made Xia a little surprised, "Well." Aside from the compatibility of my body with this strength, I can barely move from 'burden' to 'hole cards'. ”

Just as Natsu was checking his mental condition. A different sensation came from his fingertips - Xia looked down and found that the tip of the index finger of his right hand had begun to show similar signs of melting.

Xia hurriedly mobilized his strength. Once again, he stabilized the state of his physical body.

"Even after so many transformations, is it still unbearable for the body to go all out? Hmph, is it really a 'hole card' that can't be used until the last resort......

The monster, desperately thirsting for blood and wailing, obviously didn't have much affection for the pitch-black humanoid in front of him who suddenly blocked the way in front of him, even though the aura on both bodies made people feel similar and suffocating, but it didn't have any warmth for the "same kind", and launched an attack on the black humanoid with a huge sharp claw.

With the support of the "spirit veins" from underground, its strength has risen by more than one level compared to the beginning! This ordinary attack would not surprise even if it broke the spine of a giant dragon!

Compared with its own strong and muscular body, the black humanoid in front of it that looked fluttering and somewhat illusory was not at the same level at all—it could already feel that this black humanoid with a strong outside and a dry body was shattered by its own claws.

"It's so sweet!"

The black humanoid stretched out his palm and grabbed the monster's claws—an illusory humanoid that looked half-real and fake, and with one hand, it firmly restrained the monster's giant claws.

"You're not the only one who got the kicker!

The black humanoid with the same amount of power as the monster, of course, also enjoys the increase in the amount of power from the underground "spirit vein"!

"By the way, Xia you really gave yourself a subtle name......

Coldly, Carlo suddenly poked his head out to the side. The black magic that is almost instantly poisonous to other beings is also useless to Carlo, who belongs to the Void Creation.

"What's the name?"

"As Nevermore, he actually has a lower body...... That's obviously not right, right?"

"Ha, Carlo, are you on the airwaves again?"

For Carlo to have convulsions from time to time, Xia has long been accustomed to it.

"Xia, you don't know the Dao, the name Nevermore belongs to a black fork-waisted demon king called Shadow Demon in another world...... Good at flipping tables, dancing and taunting. ”

"Shadow Fiend...... Sounds so cool, why do you feel like you are revealing an inexplicable feeling of sadness when you say that?"

[Team battles can be lost, Shadow Demon must die......] Of course, Carlo didn't dare to say this now, and if he didn't keep it, he would be thrown out of the angry Xia as a shadow press.

"Really, every time I say something inexplicable...... But the name Shadow Demon is quite domineering, I think it fits the current image very well!"

No, no, no, it's not domineering at all...... It's true.

The name "Shadow Demon" has three meanings for many people - bitterness, ridicule, and harassment...... What a shameful hand-chosen, Shadow Demon, do it!

"Quick Fix!"

Although he looked majestic and majestic now, Xia himself knew that his body could not withstand the erosion of this state for a long time, and on the premise of ensuring that his body was not affected, it could probably only last for three minutes, right?

Entering this state for the first time, Xia is not ready to step on the passing line.

The black humanoid stretched out his other hand and grabbed the monster's neck violently, because it was more pure than the other party, the underground "spirit vein" had a bonus to Xia even more than that monster!

Natsu controlled the black humanoid and easily performed an over-the-shoulder throw, smashing the opponent into the clearing where the evacuation had been completed - fortunately, the mages of the guild solidified the earth itself in advance, and the monster's huge body hit the ground without causing an earthquake.

But the strength of this fall has not weakened in the slightest, and due to the implication of his own huge size, this time the monster was choked enough.

"I heard that you won't die if you step on this earth?"

The black humanoid placed its soul-snatching palm in the middle of the monster's chest.

Although theoretically, due to the ground under his feet, the monster itself does have enough terrifying durability and recovery, but Xia can be said to know the details of such a monster.

It may be difficult to "kill", but to make it "self-destructive", it only takes a small condition to be met.

For example, the medium that summons it to the present world, or the sorcerer himself...... Separated from the "body" of the monster!

"It's a shame to meet me today. (To be continued......)
