“...... Hallucinations?"

The chaotic feeling of time and space gradually disappeared, and when Aroma cautiously opened her eyes, what greeted her was a scene that had been repeated in her dreams a thousand times, and now that the gap between dreams and reality had been broken, Aroma had returned to that unforgettable time more than twenty years ago.

She even felt her legs tremble slightly.

"I see, this is the deepest enemy in my heart, right?So now that that guy has reappeared, is he going to let me repeat the deepest nightmare?" Looking at the battlefield in front of her, Aroma also fell silent, silently stabbing a wound on her hand with a black blade...... Blood slid down the back of his hand and dripped silently to the ground.

It doesn't look like a hallucination.

After all, the mastery of illusion can also allow people to make their senses work in a false scene...... It's just that, thinking of the intricate and complex gears in the clock tower before, and the clocks scattered all over the place, Aroma doesn't think that this is just a simple illusion.

Although I don't know what is going on here, it may not be too child's play to rely on this means to bring myself to its knees?—— so thinking about the fragrance took a deep breath and soothed some of the ups and downs of his mood.

"What about more than 20 years ago...... It's a time that can't be fun. ”

Inadvertently, Aroma stepped on a broken arm, which had scales that humans couldn't possibly have. The sharp claws on the fingertips are even sharper...... Aroma leaned down and picked up the broken arm. Observe the fractured surface of the wound.

"Is this wound really caused by me?"

Thinking about it, Fang Xiang didn't expect that there would be a second person in the Holy See who would directly rely on brute force to tear the demon's arm off...... Hawkers, recalling some of the actions at that time, Aroma also felt a little embarrassed.

But since the remains of the demon who died tragically at the hands of "oneself" appeared, then, maybe she will meet her past self here? If you meet your past self, will this dignity full of dark power now attract attacks...... Well. After all, at this time, "oneself" should be in a very dangerous state, and there is no reason to let such a "demon" go.

"yes, yes, alas, the thought of being able to come face to face with your past self. There is also a chance to swing a knife at each other. It's really a new ...... that others envy and can't envy A novelty experience, isn't it...... You can observe the corpse maniac who is in a complete 'butcher state' from the perspective of a bystander...... Hahaha...... It's interesting to think about......."

In the end, Aroma still didn't complete the following words.

Despite the smile on her face, her lips twitched as if to prevent something from getting out of her mouth.

The scattered demons wandering in the distance, wandering around with no living prey, and the fragrance stood so abruptly on this messy battlefield, and the "living creatures" that did not have the chaotic aura peculiar to demons on their bodies naturally became the objects of their attacks—demons also like beautiful things. Although their interest is to spoil the beauty...... But the fragrant and pretty figure still has a considerable degree of attractiveness.

"It's noisy. ”

Sharp black spikes rose from the ground. Piercing the wailing demons directly into the air, the sheer power of darkness began to destroy from their bodies, ruffling flesh and tearing their internal organs apart. Eventually, when they converged on the heads of these demons, the hard skulls of the demons were torn apart as their brains were torn into a pulp.

After cleaning up these unknown demons, Aroma's ears also became quiet, and the sudden silence unexpectedly calmed her mood a little.

"Would I have done such a vicious move...... But such an ugly death is just right for you. Seeing the corpse nailed in mid-air, the torso had been twisted into an indescribable mixture of flesh and blood, and the fragrant "conscience" was not affected in the slightest, "'Slaughtering nuns' is already in the past, why don't I call myself 'Brain-bursting girl' next time?" Ha Luha, this joke is really cold...... Haha......"

Aroma laughed at herself helplessly, but when she opened her mouth to laugh, she realized that the laughter could not be stopped.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Unconsciously, in the fragrant laughter, there was already a faint hint of irritability and madness.

When her fragrant abs began to throb from laughter, she finally stopped laughing and stroked her stomach for breath - and then, she felt what seemed to be liquid running down her cheeks, and eventually, slid into her open mouth.

“...... So salty. ”

After realizing that the liquid was tears, Aroma involuntarily clenched her fists. Although she didn't want to admit it, this fact was unavoidable - at this time, in this place, even she couldn't restrain her emotions...... Because, this is the most "incompetent" moment in the aromatic life.

The wishful thinking of the Death Reaper King in the torn robe was indeed good.

Here, there is the only thing that Aroma wants to escape - some things, perhaps over time, will be slowly squeezed into the bottom of the memory and sealed up, but the deeper it is hidden, the more unpopular it proves to be this memory. For Aroma, there was a picture that she didn't want to recall anyway...... Not to mention, witness it with your own eyes again.

"Is 'incompetent'......"

Fang Xiang looked at her empty palms and couldn't help but fall silent. It was a painful defeat in her life - perhaps for the Holy See, the end result was victory, but in an aromatic perspective, there was more important than victory. Something heavier than punishing evil and promoting good is thus lost.

If I had been stronger at that time, this would not have happened, right? It cannot be said that the fragrance has sunk into the horns of the "only force theory". But there is no doubt that this notion did influence her for the next two decades.

"Is 'Failure'......"

Aroma clenched her hand hard.

"The so-called 'the higher you stand, the worse you fall', that's probably it, isn't ......it? I'm stronger than everyone else, but I can't even face the painful defeat, and I'm really going back to the past more and more!

When do you own. Not even a succubus?

In the past, there were no words that could reach her ears in person, so this time, was she going to miscarry again because of her timidity? The Grim Reaper was obviously not willing to let himself change history. At this time when I was teleported, I am afraid that the tragedy has already happened...... But if you hurry, maybe ......

"Doesn't it all say that the sacrificial vitality of the Holy See is tenacious...... At least let me apologize to you in person!"

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

Selena waited silently for death to come.

Despite being a sacrificial her, theoretically. For this kind of injury, which is now fatal compared to ordinary people. It's not that there's no way, but she can't do it to treat her seriously injured body.

Because if you do that, you will inevitably have to draw a lot of your life force, and even if you can heal your injuries, you will definitely get seriously ill, and even lose a lot of life - although the conditions are very harsh, but I believe that people who have no convulsions in their brains will choose to reduce their life and die on the spot. If it weren't for this awkward time period, Selena would definitely choose the former...... It's just a pity. Now, she couldn't make that choice anyway.

Because in her belly, a new life is being conceived.

Selena was only five months pregnant, because she was relatively thin, her belly bulge was not obvious, and she was dressed in a wide sacrificial robe outside, and there was basically nothing abnormal just by looking at her appearance. Selena used special magic to hide her physical abnormalities, so no one discovered that the accompanying priest was actually five months pregnant.

As for what her husband did not put a stop to such a reckless decision...... The man in the small world who was obsessed with his research, Serena hadn't seen him for months, and he didn't know anything about his wife's physical condition, or the status of her pregnancy.

Selena also regrets her reckless decision.

In her opinion, there is no risk in this mission, and the overall strength of the team is almost second to none in the Holy See, and she only needs to do a good job of logistics support, and it stands to reason that nothing will happen...... But who would have thought that this team, in this mission, was almost completely wiped out?

"Luckily, there was another child who survived......"

Looking at the girl who was sleeping sweetly next to her, the corners of Serena's bitter mouth also smiled slightly. At the beginning, she saw that there was such a young child in the team (the appearance of Lori in the past...... She was also taken aback, but she later discovered that this seemingly young girl actually had the strongest strength in the team - if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have survived.

Thinking of the scene of the girl fighting hard to kill the demon, Serena was also very distressed - such a child should enjoy the warmth of childhood, ......right? Serena, who is about to become a mother, really can't imagine how this child has survived until now.

Speaking of children......

"I'm sorry, I'm such an incompetent mother...... I'm sorry for you......"

If she wants to treat herself, Selena must need to overdraw her life force, but in that case, relying on her fetus is tantamount to a direct death sentence. Even the mother herself will be greatly damaged by this, and in this situation, Serena's child will definitely die.

Isn't that the same as using one's own child as a sacrifice to keep oneself alive?

Selena asked herself if she couldn't do this—in that case, the child would die no matter what choice she made, and it would be better to stay with the child herself! Death would die, but let her leave her child to live. Can't do it!

"It's just that you have to live, little aroma ......" If there's anything else Selena can't let go of right now. It was only the girl next to her. Although she laid out the enchantment at the end of the day, she didn't know how long this enchantment would last, because when she was seriously injured, Selena could only use this kind of enchantment to hide her tracks, and her defense against frontal attacks was almost negligible. Once discovered. The consequences are unimaginable.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt the outside of the barrier. There was a burst of force and force—she knew very well that the only way to produce such fluctuations was when the two energies of darkness and light collided with each other. Serena's magic is naturally light-attributed, an intruder on the outside of the barrier. Apparently. is the manipulator of darkness.

"I didn't expect that the last thing I waited for was not rescue?"

Now, Selena found that she didn't feel pain because of the coming of death, but the girl next to her, which made her worry - in the end, it was because she was dragging her feet. If the girl hadn't rushed back to rescue herself, she wouldn't have been caught in an endless offensive at all. With her strength, it is not difficult to break through......

"Found it. Sure enough, here......"

The expected hideous roar did not reach Serena's ears, but instead was a female voice that was out of place with the current scene. Moreover, although the other party seemed to be looking for her two survivors, listening to her tone, it did not contain any killing intent...... If you really want to say anything, the low and gentle voice seems to ...... Feeling sad in?

Selena opened her eyes and was greeted by a heroic and awe-inspiring figure. From the slender figure, delicate face, and long black hair, it can be confirmed that the other party is a woman.

But what was incompatible with this seemingly slender figure was the almost suffocating dark aura of the other party - Selena had never seen or even heard of the existence of such a powerful dark power, and if she really wanted to find one, given the characteristics of the other party's demons, there was only that word that was almost taboo for humans......

"Magic ...... Demon King ......"

"Unfortunately, that's not the type of profession I like. Unexpectedly, the demon woman shook her head in a flat tone, as if she was just chatting with her neighbors, without any feeling of superiority, "If I really want to say it, I'm just a passing ...... Hmmm......"

The demon woman suddenly frowned, as if she was thinking about some profound and difficult question. Serena's heart beat faster as she looked at her like this.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what race I am...... What should I say?,I'm completely one person representing a race.,If you really want to make up a name......" After thinking for a while, the demon woman finally decided to "casually recoup" the name of her race, "Let's call it 'Shadow Demon'~ It sounds quite domineering - in short, I'm just a passing Shadow Demon." ”

The demon woman leaned down, and her palm suddenly pressed against Serena's abdomen.

"You ——!!!" Selena was immediately nervous and almost jumped up, but the demon woman's other hand pressed her shoulder strongly.

"Don't be nervous. The demon woman's tone was unexpectedly calm, "Don't look at me like this, before I have the identity of a demon, I am also a woman...... Besides, where do you think the smell of blood on me comes from?"

Only then did Selena notice that this demon woman's body had a strong bloody aura - in the current environment, it was only possible that such a strong smell of blood could be dyed in a short period of time......

"You, aren't you a demon?"

"Don't talk like humans don't kill each other, little girl. In my eyes, a strong mother is much more pleasing to the eye than those who are full of disgusting violence and strong desires...... Anyway, slaughtering these demons with no eyes is a habit that is hard to change—you don't remember how much bread you've eaten, do you?"

Selena wanted to refute this statement of the demon woman, but she couldn't say anything - this is an indisputable fact, not to mention, isn't the culprit of today's tragedy her own compatriots?

"Do you have any plans to name your child?"

Looking at the soft eyes of the other party, Selena believed the words of the demon woman - perhaps, as she said, she was also a woman.

Selena suddenly smiled: "I'm like this, the child is ...... her"

"Although my strength is not good at this kind of work, but to this extent, some of the more troublesome things can be piled up with 'quantity' - such as letting the child in your belly be born a few months early, it can also be done. However, I am also a god after all, and my ability is limited after all, and if you want to save your child, there is nothing you can do. ”

Serena's somewhat dim gaze suddenly shone brightly.

"My strength is of the dark nature, and if you want to save your child, your own strength will inevitably come into contact with you. It doesn't matter if your child is still a fetus, but this dark power is poison for you......"

Selena grabbed the demon woman's hand violently.

"Son, please save my child!"

"......" The demon woman was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "As you wish—by the way, that's why I hate demons." ”

......

"I think that in such a disaster, she should be called a stronger name after being born with difficulty...... Aophee, what do you think of the name?"

The demon woman was stunned, but this moment of sluggishness did not let Serena, whose attention had been completely taken away by the newborn baby girl, find out.

"You can do whatever you want......

"When you say that, it's as if we're actually old friends who have known each other for a long time~!"

In this regard, the demon woman was noncommittal.

"I have one more request, can I ask you to grant it?"

"Say, I'll listen. ”

"I thought, give Aoife to Aroma - well, this is the girl to raise. I may not be able to hold her up until she wakes up, but when the time comes, can you please tell her all this?"

“...... For what? Although she has no mother, she should still have a father, right?"

Selena shook her head: "He...... He will never be a good father, he is always immersed in his own world, and if I am not there, I will definitely not fulfill my father's responsibilities. He is still a very paranoid person, and as the only survivor today, Aroma will definitely blame this child for all his faults...... And, most importantly, ......"

"You're worried about him using his daughter as an experiment, aren't you?"

"Huh! You...... How do you know the way...... Ahem!"

Is your body no longer able to hold on?

"I understand, I will definitely convey your last wish to this little girl, don't worry. ”

“...... Actually, there is another reason why I entrusted Aoye to the child Aroma...... Well, looking at your mysterious appearance, you should be able to guess it, right?"

The demon woman looked straight at the girl who was sleeping peacefully on the side, and said in a flat tone, "Are you afraid that she will live in guilt from now on?"

"I can't hide anything from you......"

......

"Can you still hear me?"

“......”

"Actually, I have a word I haven't told you. ”

“......”

"I'm sorry, Serena. ...... Well, until the end of the day, don't you still have the courage to reach your ears with this sentence?" (To be continued......)
