Hill easily won twice in a row.
No matter how arrogant Elena is, she can only admit that indeed, as a new generation apostle, there is still a big gap in strength between her and these older generation apostles.
The succubus snorted and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Hill thought that Elena had recognized her, so she released the shadow that was holding the succubus on the rock wall, and very considerately, she used the shadow to help the succubus land properly and stop falling. .
Elena originally vented her anger, but instead of venting her anger, she instead asked for trouble. Seeing how depressed the succubus was now, Hill couldn't help comforting her:
"Elena, as a new generation apostle, you are able to equal me in just a thousand years. You are already the most talented among the demons I have ever seen, even higher than your mother."
"I believe it won't be long before Elena, you will be able to surpass all our apostles."
Although Hill's "equally divided" in the first half of the sentence is a bit caring about Elena's mood.
But the rating of the succubus's talent in the second half of the sentence is by no means false. It even predicted that Elena would soon become the number one among the apostles, and that even the great demon Hercule would not be able to catch up. This was completely serious.
Demons are different from humans.
The lifespan of the demons is almost ten thousand years.
Elena, who has just been born for a thousand years and has already lit up the fate of the "Four Plastics", is extremely rare when looking at the entire history of the demon clan.
You know, among the older generation of apostles who have lived for tens of thousands of years, only a few have reached the perfect destiny of the "Seven Plastics". The remaining apostles, including her, are just It's just stuck on "six plastics".
What's more, now that the summoning ritual is successful, the new demon king has arrived.
As a succubus, Elena only needs to perform rituals unique to the succubus clan with the new king, and her strength will be greatly improved again. It is said that surpassing the great demon Hercule is really just around the corner.
but...
Now that I mentioned the succubus ritual.
Hill felt a little strange and asked the succubus: "Elena, your power seems to have no signs of weakening as usual. Didn't you...didn't you go to perform the ceremony with the new king?"
According to tradition, on the day the Demon King is summoned, the Succubus Apostle should perform a ceremony with the King as soon as possible. After that, the King's power will be increased, and the Succubus Apostle will fall into a short period of weakness.
But Hill looked at Elena's appearance now. She was still so angry that she came to fight with her. She didn't look weak at all.
"No."
Elena could only admit it even though she was reluctant.
"The king doesn't like you?" Hill asked with concern. After all, holding a ceremony is not a private matter for the Demon King and the Succubus, but a major event for the entire Demon Clan.
And when she heard Shadow Demon's straightforward words, Elena suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and whose fur had exploded.
“You*—fart!”
"The king feels sorry for me and is unwilling to ask for my power at this time, so he decided to postpone the ceremony!"
"oh."
Hill nodded in understanding.
After a few seconds, she seemed like she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"If necessary, I can help you contact Alice and Dadaya. They can make Wang more sexual towards you..."
Before Hill finished imparting experience in the tone of an elder, the angry Elena glared shut.
Seeing Shadow Demon obviously didn't believe it.
Elena was also annoyed.
In order to maintain her dignity as a succubus, Elena opened her sleeves and showed Hill a faint but real magic pattern on her arm.
Pattern of Succubus.
Hill was suddenly confused. The cloak under Shadow Demon's petite body tilted his head.
"Elena, are you saying that the king is unwilling..."
"Humph, of course I have other ways!"
Elena held her chest and head high.
He looked like "Don't underestimate the succubus".
There is not only one way to get the king's essence.
Although...
This method is much different from the normal ritual.
Pull back the frustration.
Elena showed the succubus pattern to Hill not only to prove herself, but also for a more important purpose, and it was also the second main reason why she came to find the shadow demon.
"Hill, reach over here."
Although Shadow Demon was surprised, he did as he was told.
But later...
When her hands overlapped with Elena's, the ritual light of the spell flashed from the succubus' body, and Hill recognized this spell as... a transfer spell!
"Elena, what are you...?"
"Pass the magic pattern to you." The succubus said simply.
But what goes behind this sentence is far more than that simple.
If we say that the soul stone that the evil devil had sacrificed in order to make amends to the king had consumed a lot of the evil devil's soul power.
Then the magic pattern that Elena is going to give her now is equivalent to the origin of the succubus!
even more...
It symbolizes the most important proof of the "bond" between the succubus and the devil!
In the follow-up ceremony, the Demon King fed his power back to the Succubus. The Succubus was able to board the Demon King's ship and its strength skyrocketed, also relying on the connection established by the "Magic Pattern".
It can be said that the magic pattern is the most important thing about the succubus.
But now...
Hill's shock was already expected.
While performing the transfer ceremony, Elena pretended not to care and said:
"Don't think too much, because the king and I did not perform normal rituals, so this magic pattern is only a semi-finished product. Its main function is to help the holder sense the king's current position and status, that's all."
After hearing this, Hill finally understood the reason why Elena did this.
"Use it to protect the king."
"Promise me not to let our demon clan... lose another king, okay, Hill."
Elena's transfer spell ends.
The succubus was obviously much weaker than before.
Even semi-finished magic patterns are still magic patterns.
It is equivalent to Elena willingly giving half of her original power to Hill.
And the purpose...
Just to allow Hill to better protect the king.
Why do you say just.
Because it can be seen from the battle just now that Shadow Demon has strong combat power, as well as powerful reconnaissance and transfer capabilities.
If there really is a huge danger.
Shadow Demon is definitely the apostle who can detect it first and evacuate safely.
Perhaps this is why Wang chose to take Hill with him.
but...
Even if Hill is 99% sure that he can protect the king, Elena is still willing to devote all her efforts, even if it is just an additional 10%, half a percent, or even less.
Hill was silent.
After a long time, the Shadow Apostle spoke.
"Elena, you and Diane...are really similar."
Diane, the name of the previous succubus apostle.
He was also the only apostle to die in the war between humans and demons thousands of years ago. He died together with the Demon King at the hands of the Son of Destiny.
To this.
Elena replied:
"But I don't want you to be the same as you were a thousand years ago."
After the succubus spoke, there was another period of silence.
But this time the silence was short.
"I promise you, Elena."
"I will protect the king."
"With...my true body."
The apostles all came through projection invasion and hid their true bodies in safe locations. This is why the Demon King died in battle a thousand years ago, but the remaining eight apostles survived.
In a sense, although the Demon King is a king, it is more like a tool that the Demon Clan can produce at a specific time.
Therefore, there is a saying that the devil kings change from generation to generation, but the apostles remain unchanged - except for the succubus apostles.
Forcing Hill to come in his true form, to protect the king, and to advance and retreat with the king, this is Elena's ultimate goal.
and.
Hill was actually wrong.
She, Elena, is nothing like her mother.
Back then, my mother was faced with the choice between the king and the demons, and finally chose the demons, instead of forcing the other apostles to fight the king in a last-ditch battle.
She is different.
Suppose, Elena said, Suppose, one day, the new king, her king, also encountered life-threatening danger.
Elena is sure of that.
At that time, she would choose the latter between the demons and the king without hesitation.
Countless succubus apostles in the past were too stupid, including her mother.
At the moment when Hill didn't notice, a dark haze flashed across Elena's eyes, a kind of sickly hollowness.
Suppose the king no longer exists.
That demon...
There is no need for this anymore.
Elena's eyes quickly returned to normal.
Of course she would not make any public announcement about such a taboo and rebellious thought, but would just bury it deep in her heart.
The purpose of being here in Hill was achieved, and the succubus was ready to leave.
But before leaving.
Elena seemed to have thought of something again and hesitated for a moment. Although she thought it was unlikely, Elena still had to issue a serious warning to Hill just in case.
"Hill, if I find any changes in the magic marks on your body after you come back, then..."
There is only one way for the magic pattern to change.
Its owner also performed a ritual with the Demon King and had a relationship.
That...
"Then you're dead."
The succubus stared at Hill who was hiding in the shadow of the cloak and spoke word by word.
It is not difficult to see that Elena has a very good attitude towards her elders and never beats around the bush.
Hill didn't react much.
She understands.
After all, this is the sovereignty of the succubus.
Hill returned to her usual indifferent tone and said, "You are worrying too much."
"I am a shadow demon, not a succubus."
"We are professionally trained."
Seeing Hill's frigid look, and looking at the Shadow Demon hiding in his cloak all year round, even Elena had forgotten the last time she saw Hill's true form.
It's definitely not pretty.
What's more, they are all tens of thousands of years old. Wang Ye definitely doesn't have the appetite. If he really wants to eat, he will eat himself first, a little girl who has just lived a thousand years.
Elena felt completely at ease and left with satisfaction.
....
....
[Before the demons come, there is still...
——1 hour, 17 minutes and 01 seconds]
The void passage in the Chaos Rift is also the door for the demons to leave here and return to the world.
The magician Dadaya is personally doing the work of strengthening the "door" to ensure its stability when traveling through it.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from behind.
"How is the condition of the passage?" Wise Demon Leon came to do a final inspection.
Dadaya didn't say anything, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhimo like a gentleman.
Leon stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the void passage below. He saw that the current passage, after being stabilized by magic, the space energy in it, if it was a rapid turbulence before, is now a quiet stream, completely tamed. Renovated.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's my duty, but I wouldn't mind if Mr. Leon can help me get some more souls from the demons as condolences."
Dadaya looked regretful. It could be seen that the evil spirit was indeed a good casting material, but it was a pity that it was consumed quickly and the output was small.
Leon ignored Dardaya's obsession with magic.
He was still looking at the void passage below.
After the reinforced passage, the image from the opposite side became clearer. Leon could clearly see that on the other side of the door was the human world, the beautiful world of blue sky and white clouds.
"Dadaya, do you still remember what the world was like at the end of the war between humans and demons a thousand years ago?"
"Of course, the sky is gray, the earth is devastated, the war has burned the entire continent, and there are wreckage and ruins everywhere. Maybe...it's not much better than our current Chaos Rift, right?"
Leon nodded. The brutal war a thousand years ago almost destroyed the entire world.
but...
Zhimo sighed.
"But now, thousands of years have passed. In the hands of humans, the devastated world after the war has regained its vitality, and is even more beautiful than before."
Dadaya was silent for a while and then said: "So, what does Mr. Leon want to express?"
"I think that maybe we demons should also learn to do something other than destruction and plunder, such as... human creativity."
"Well, it is undeniable that it is a very constructive proposal, Mr. Leon."
"But I personally suggest that Mr. Leon should not mention this in front of other apostles, especially Elena."
Leon knew that Jumo was right.
Learning from humans is difficult for many demons to accept, especially some who hate humans very much.
The atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the official arrival, Leon changed the topic to a new topic.
"Dadaya, what do you think of the new king...?"
"Mr. Leon, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
The wise demon's snake eyes glanced at Daya's crow mask.
Seeing this, the magician shrugged his shoulders.
"Just kidding, if you ask me to evaluate, although the time I have been in contact with the king is very short, it is difficult for me to make a systematic evaluation, but so far, I will say that this time our king is... .much like the King of Men, in every sense of the word.”
"in addition..."
Dadaya paused for a moment, then said to Zhimo: "Just now, Mr. Leon also gave me this feeling."
Like...human?
Normally, this sentence is insulting among demons.
But Leon knew that Daya didn't mean this.
After all, Jumo is one of the few apostles who has ever had an "appreciative" attitude towards human beings.
so...
"Do you think this is good or bad?"
"In my opinion, nothing is absolutely good or bad. Mr. Leon, this is like spell magic. No matter how simple and simple low-level spells are, if they can be used in the right place at the right time, On the other hand, it can also play a huge role, but on the contrary, no matter how luxurious and powerful high-level magic is, if it is used in the wrong direction, it will just be wasted and have the opposite effect."
"Just like the soul-seeking curse you unleashed on the son of human destiny thousands of years ago with all your magic power?"
"I don't deny it."
Soul-seeking curse.
A seventh-level high-level spell.
It requires the sacrifice of several high-level magic demons to cast it.
Once it hits, there is no way to relieve or dispel it, and the target will continue to lose its vitality within a week until it dies.
Everyone thought that the destined child who was under the soul-seeking curse would die.
But the great guardian among humans gave the demons another answer.
Transfer magic.
A first-level low-level spell.
The great guardian studied it to the extreme within a week, and the purpose was to transfer the curse on the Son of Destiny to himself.
Obviously, the Great Guardian succeeded.
A week later, he replaced the Son of Destiny and was drained of his life by the Soul Retrieval Curse.
