The Return of the King Chapter 094 The Test of Flames
1)
"Another thing is that if you return to this world, the power of the demon king will fight against the magic in your heart. For a while, the power of the demon king may control you, but it will only become a part of you and use it for you until your heart finally defeats the power of the demon king. ”
"Well, I'll beat you!"
The girl suddenly looked at Shecher with disdain, but she couldn't refute him, after all, she also said that she was the power of the demon king.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I'd like to ask. Shecher suddenly remembered something about the Ritual of Consideration, and it might not be fruitful to ask at this time, but she had to ask anyway.
"You say. ”
"What is the price of the Demon King's contract?"
The girl was suddenly stunned, staring at Shecher motionlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know what the price is, but I guess my price is to live forever in the realm of Xu. There was a mist in the girl's eyes, as if something was disturbing her heart.
If Shecher asks what it means to be a demon king, I'm afraid there will be no answer. She seems to be living happily here, smiling at Shecher from another world, but in fact?
It has been said that the greatest suffering in the world is eternal life, and the saddest years are loneliness. And what did she endure? Lonely eternal life. I don't know how many years she has survived here, but she has only seen seven people, and the long night is just one person sitting alone on the roof of the building looking up at the starry sky. It is true that she is not a life, she is the embodiment of the devil, but what is indisputable is that she also has her own thoughts, she has experienced a lot, carried a mission, and slowly disappeared in the long night of thousands of years.
And what price he will pay for it, no one knows, but he will not ask again. Whatever awaits him, it's just the way to go.
There is no turning back at all.
Shecher stood up and looked at the girl, it was a reverence, a reverence that was unique to her.
"Are you leaving?"
"Hmm. ”
"I wish you the best of luck in getting out of the Realm of Moments. "The girl is no longer as talkative as she was just now, and she has indeed been poked at the pain point. Her eyes were still as clear as the twinkling stars, which was fascinating.
"Thank you. ”
This pure thanksgiving, maybe not so meaningful, but very meaningful. For the girl, she is already very happy, and it is a very happy thing for her to see people.
Although, it is inevitable to experience parting.
It's just that during the time Shecher is still there, she can still see him at any time.
After all, the Realm of Necessity and the power of the Demon King are inherently one.
2)
As soon as I came out of the history hall, it was already night, there were no stars this night, and Shecher didn't know where to go. When I looked back, I found that the history museum had also disappeared.
It's completely dark, and even the Dark Wizard is hard to see.
More precisely, Shecher found that she couldn't use magic at all!
Just now full of vitality, I was hit by this in an instant.
He had no choice but to follow his instincts and walk forward, and after walking for a long time, his body and mind became more and more exhausted. Gradually, the air became heavy, and the light ahead flickered.
Shecher quickened his pace, but a burning sensation gradually emanated from the firelight, gradually engulfing his body. Sweating, the light began to show its outline, the feeling of lava.
But still approach, like a moth to a fire.
Ahead is a cliff of magma, with no end to the left or right. The cliff that blocked his way like a long river, there was no doubt that the first hurdle he had to cross was the cliff that he could not cross with normal strength, and there seemed to be hope on the other side.
How could he have done this miracle without the help of magic?
Shecher stopped on the edge of the cliff and could feel the lava rolling beneath the cliff like a beast trying to devour it, and there were no levitating rocks or other tools to be used everywhere.
He crouched down and stretched out his arms to feel the magma, the only thing that worked was that he could still feel the magic. Looking at the opposite side, it seemed to be a thick jungle, he didn't have enough strength to reach that jungle, but it gave him greater fear, even on the other side, where should he go, danger waits for the opportunity, and he seems to be powerless, the unknown is the biggest enemy forward.
He shook his head and didn't dare to think about it, trying to bounce his own jump, it was no different from the current world, which meant that it was impossible to jump over this cliff.
Thinking, thinking, he needs to know what the test is. Since it is a test, it must not be a test of people's ability to bounce, so what is it exactly.
At this time, the girl reappeared.
"Don't know what to do?"
Shecher looked at the girl as if she was any different from before, and the imperceptible change made him hesitate.
"Sometimes the hope that fate gives you just leads you to the abyss of despair. With that, the girl vanished.
Shecher realizes that it is nothing more than his own illusion, that he is freed from the outside world, that he is just telling himself how to do it.
Sometimes it's more important to trust your instincts than to trust the truth in front of you.
He lowered his head and looked at the magma, the burning sensation of rolling burning inside him, but it drew him in and made him try to grasp the only power he had.
He opened his arms and looked at the other side of the cliff, always thinking that it was even more terrifying, but the sweat dripped down and was immediately evaporated.
Finally, he slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes, and remembered everything in the past. He knew that he might face disappearance, and that there would be no more such person as Scher Salamanda in the world, but he still had to try.
I saw him leap and jump down the cliff, the lava lapping and roaring, cheering as if waiting for food. Eventually devoured Shecher's body.
The scorching heat could have reduced him to ashes in just a moment.
However, the fire phoenix, only by bathing in fire, can it be reborn.
At the moment when Shecher was consumed by the magma, he did disappear, and it was the real magma. But at the same time, this is a world completely constructed of magic, all of which are monsters, and even Shecher is a demonic being. Like a phoenix, the magma gathered his new body, a burning, powerful body.
"Looks like you've passed the first level. The girl actually appeared in front of Shecher, looking at him in the magma.
"This power?"
"That's your innate power of the Fire Clan, it should be what you've been looking for, it's just that at this moment you really inspired it. ”
"I can see why only the Fire Clan people can get out of here. ”
"Huh?"
"Only the Fire Phoenix can be reborn from the ashes. ”
The girl smiled, and the two of them were suspended in the air under the girl's magic. Shecher's lava exterior hadn't faded yet, but he could feel the magic truly blending into him, not burning him.
"Probably, the fire phoenix can do more than that. ”
Shecher tried to use the magic of the flames, which erupted from his body, all of which made him feel incredibly excited.
"It's a great feeling!"
"Go to the other side, sometimes when you realize your hope, you don't have the strength to move forward, maybe you can reach it indirectly to make you more confident. At the end of the sentence, the girl used her own strength to send Shecher to the other side.
Indeed, when you look at the jungle from the other side, you are no longer so afraid.
His initial fear stemmed from the lack of strength, even if he could enter it was futile, and without strength it was like an endless abyss for him.
For human beings, the most terrible thing has never been the immediate difficulties, but the endless darkness. After falling, you can get up and challenge again, but once you lose your direction and lose the strength to go down, you are really like walking with a corpse.
The girl disappeared again, and the road after that still had to be walked by herself, this guide was not so reliable, and always appeared after a decision, which was really a bit infuriating.
Shecher looked around, found a path into the depths of the jungle, and walked straight ahead. Now he is completely different, he is extremely confident in his strength, even if he is not so familiar, it is completely fine.
He will overcome all the trials that lie ahead of him, because he must go out, and he must witness that era.
