This war is far earlier than any other.
Looking at the long sword in her hand, Eluma's eyes flashed with surprise, but she hid it well. It has been a year since the Demon King first appeared. During this year, the Demon King has been destroying various buildings and facilities in various areas alone. The sense of oppression brought about by the Demon King's powerful strength and strange abilities caused humans to unite together early and form a human coalition.
but···
Eluma calmly handed the long sword to Zhou Li. This was a weapon she found that had been used by the Demon King, or in other words, something that the Demon King had touched. Unlike several other demon kings, the demon king in this life was so cunning that she was helpless. In other words, Eluma has already doubted whether this demon king can also retain the memory before the restart.
Somehow, according to common sense, the power of the Demon King in this life should not be that strong at the beginning. Based on the experience of previous + several lives, the Demon King's power increases based on the number of monsters she infects. Therefore, in the very beginning, The power of the devil will not be as devastating as in the previous life.
However, the strength of the Demon King in this life has been ridiculously strong from the beginning, especially the weird black mist, which will be turned into the opponent's servant once it is contaminated. But what puzzles Eluma the most is that this demon king obviously possesses this powerful black mist, but she rarely infects other people on a large scale in crowded places. Instead, she infects people in a weird dot-like form. Infecting citizens everywhere.
This is weird, or not common sense. According to normal logic, if there is a large-scale AOE like Black Mist, if you don't put one in the crowd to play Zombie Rising, you will not be able to play it. However, the wisdom and combat awareness displayed by this demon king are extremely strong. To put it bluntly, this is very contradictory, as incomprehensible as someone holding a thousand-year-old meteorite iron and finding an ancient craftsman to make a tooth pick.
but···
Looking at the long sword stained with black mist in her hand, a trace of hesitation flashed in Eluma's eyes when she returned home. After a while, she said to Zhou Li beside her: "Zhou Li, can you feel this sword?"
After hearing Eluma's words, Zhou Li, who was studying spells at the side, put down the scroll in his hand. After taking the long sword, he began to use his will to sense the long sword used by the Demon King.
"Well...it's still those black mist, some weird magic energy."
Because he is a mage, Zhou Li's ability to perceive the element of magic is much stronger than Eluma, so he quickly discovered that there were some weird magic reactions in this long sword.
"Magic power?"
After hearing these two words, Eluma's reaction was a little strange. She seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked: "What a strange method!?"
"that is···"
Zhou Li was hesitant. He had never seen such a strange magical energy structure in such a long time. "These magical energies are like groups of flames connected together. They are not harmonious with each other, but they are And because of the ingenuity of the creator, it seems to be weak magic energy, but in fact it contains far more energy than we imagined."
really.
Eluma pursed her lower lip, emotions flashing in her eyes.
Sure enough, it's you...
Double leaves.
After being reborn three times, Eluma would meet the girl named Futaba every time. She still remembered the expressionless orange-haired girl who stopped her carriage at the very beginning, with a pair of golden eyes full of indifference and expectation like a homeless cat. Since then, Eluma has treated this girl as her own sister and has always kept her by her side.
Futaba has a very cold personality, so cold that she seldom communicates with others most of the time. Apart from Eluma and Zhou Li, the only people who could talk to her were Herinin, Magnum III and Tiya. Of course, although Futaba has a somewhat cold personality, she will always be Zhou Li and Eluma's most trusted partner on the battlefield. It can be said that even if it restarts again, the people Eluma trusts unconditionally will always be Zhou Li and Futaba.
Three restarts, each time Futaba fought to the last moment for Zhou Li and Eluma. Each time, Eluma saw Futaba's death with her own eyes. I don’t know why, but in the second and third restarts, Eluma had deliberately avoided meeting Futaba, but in the end they still got together, following the same trajectory as before.
In this life, Eluma began to avoid meeting Futaba after the restart, but she only tried subconsciously, because she had become accustomed to Futaba suddenly refreshing in an inconspicuous corner because of her previous failures. But what she didn't expect was that Futaba really didn't find her this time.
No···
Putting the long sword on the shelf aside, Eluma closed her eyes and whispered to herself.
Eluma, you are no longer alone.
She still remembered that in the cave of the previous life, Zhou Li died in battle and she was seriously injured. When the demon king was about to kill Futaba and herself, Futaba said something like this suddenly.
"Eluma, don't worry."
"I will break the fate of brave men and angels.
At first, Eluma just thought these words were Futaba's last words, but after she was reborn, she calmed down and realized something was wrong. And when Futaba uniquely appeared in the so-called birthplace of the Demon King, she understood everything.
Futaba also retains memories from her previous life.
After learning this, Eluma had no negative emotions of being deceived or concealed. On the contrary, she just felt unprecedentedly relaxed. She knew that she was not alone. Whether it was Zhou Li who accompanied her firmly every time, or Futaba who also had memories, they all made this girl who had been nervous for decades feel the so-called companionship. of warmth.
She knew that Futaba acted as the Demon King in order to allow humans to establish a coalition in advance. After taking out the map and comparing it with her own memory, Eluma saw that Futaba's whereabouts were connected, which was the main destination of the previous Demon King's attack. Now, because of Futaba, these locations have been tightly guarded. Even if the Demon King sends troops to make a surprise attack, he will never be able to capture those locations as easily as he did in the past few times.
"Zhou Li."
Inexplicably, Eluma raised her head and said to Zhou Li with a faint smile: "I think we should celebrate."
"ah."
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment. Having just traveled through time for a year, he had become accustomed to the strange character of his own divine messenger. However, he cleared his throat more seriously and said solemnly: "Master divine messenger, it is absolutely impossible to open the champagne in advance." Not a good idea."
"No matter~"
Eluma was obviously in a good mood, except for the tail that whipped out the helicopter propeller. She looked at Zhou Li with a smile, and her sweet voice was full of joy, "Go, let's celebrate." Bar."
"Since the God Envoy has said so."
Zhou Li put the scroll in his hand aside, nodded and said: "Then let's have a big meal. Call Tiya too, she has been craving for the honey barbecue for a long time."
"Okay~"
Eluma in this life has a more cheerful personality, perhaps because she left too many regrets in her previous life, or maybe her attitude towards Zhou Li made her regret it. Eluma in this life did not hide her emotions at all.
*******************
"My lord, Mete Town has been captured by us."
Leaning down, the woman whose body was covered with black runes had a chaotic light in her eyes. She lowered her head and said piously: "Next we need..."
"Annie, our mission is not to kill."
Standing on a high platform overlooking the town, Futaba put on her robe, and her beautiful face hidden under the hood was a little helpless, "I know you may say that you are not very friendly to humans, I think you can be less extreme. Some."
"My Lord, I am talking about spreading the gospel of the Black Emperor. What are you talking about?"
The girl named Annie raised her head, her innocent face looking pitiful.
"You~"
Futaba's expression was still calm, but her tone couldn't help but bring a smile. Counting the time of rebirth, she had experienced more than a hundred years of life, but she only had one year to gain emotions, so , Futaba will always reveal emotions she wants to hide involuntarily.
Anne, who was the first to follow Futaba, also knows this. Even though her Demon King is usually cold to everyone, once he comes into contact with her, he knows that the Demon King has always been gentle, but he is not good at expressing himself. That’s all.
“This town doesn’t have to preach the gospel.”
Looking at this familiar town, Futaba said nothing and walked towards the town. At this time, the surrounding area of the town had been completely destroyed, but the farmland and pastures had not been damaged at all, and the soldiers had only been knocked unconscious and gathered together. The townspeople who were driven to the center of the town gathered together and shivered. They looked at the figure shrouded in black robes in fear, waiting for death to come.
The devil, what a terrifying existence.
Among the gathered crowd, a child sitting on a stone stood out. In other words, from the moment they stepped into the center of the town, Annie and Futaba saw the conspicuous girl. Others were curling up in order not to attract attention, but she kept looking at the Demon King's army shrouded in black runes out of curiosity, and she even wanted to reach out and touch those runes.
Ah.
Looking at that familiar little face, Futaba chuckled in his heart. She walked through the crowd, paying no attention to the ordinary people who were frightened to death. To her, mortal lives are not important. Except for the people she cares about and the survival of the world, other people don't matter.
Walking up to the little girl, Futaba lowered his head and looked at the pair of black eyes that overlapped infinitely with those in his memory, and a cold voice sounded.
"Can you have a full meal?"
The little girl didn't have any fear of the Demon King, or in other words, after seeing the beautiful face under the hood, a child's unique look of pure love appeared on her tender cheeks. She raised her head, looked at the Demon King, and said crisply: "I'm not full."
"Come with me."
There was no question, just a simple order. Futaba looked at the surprised girl in front of him and repeated: "Follow me, I'll let you eat."
"good."
The little girl nodded, stretched out her hand, and said firmly: "I'll go with you."
She didn't dislike the dirty little hands. Under the shocked gazes of others and the envious expression of Anne on the side, Futaba stretched out her white jade hand and held the other's palm. The little girl who jumped off the stone raised her head and said to Futaba blankly:
"Sister, my name is Carrie."
Carrie...
After hearing this familiar name, Futaba couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She looked at that young face, her voice was cold, but a little softer.
"I remember."
*************************
"this!"
Looking at the oracle of the gods in her hand, Eluma had a look of disbelief in her eyes. She raised her head, looked at Lilas who was smiling bitterly in front of her, and asked in panic: "Is this a mistake? How is this possible?!"
"That's right, Lord Envoy."
Liras bowed slightly, his old voice full of fatigue, "I have confirmed it dozens of times and got the same answer."
"The oracle means to gather all the power to kill the Black Emperor."
Eluma was speechless at this time. She fell down on the chair in disbelief, holding the so-called oracle in her hand, and her breathing became rapid.
"Why not fight the devil?"
At this time, Zhou Li pushed open the door and walked in. He spent six years becoming a demigod mage. At this time, he had signed a contract with the twelve elements and obtained the ring of elements. At this time, Zhou Li had faded away from his youthfulness. , only stability and maturity remain. He looked at Lilas, frowned, and asked in a deep voice:
"Obviously the Demon King is our real enemy. Since the Demon King appeared three years ago, Futaba has been on the side of mankind. Even if it cannot be made public, wouldn't Twelve Moments understand that if it weren't for Futaba's activities in the first few years? , have we been caught off guard by the Demon King a long time ago? Can’t the contribution of Futaba and her subjects make up for the trivial damage she did back then?”
Six years have passed since the reboot. In the third year of the reboot, the devil arrived. The Demon King, who was originally full of confidence and prepared to attack Muqi's capital with a surprise attack, was defeated by the joint elite army of Magnum, Muqi and Herinin as soon as he showed up. He was almost beaten out of his head. She never thought that a small country that was about to be annexed by Magnum would have three elite legions going all out.
Don't they have a country of their own?
Then, the Demon King went to a remote area in Magnum, hoping to occupy the magic crystal mine that had never been discovered. Then, she was beaten out of her wits by the brilliant crystal mechanical beast jointly built by Yingnan and Tarik, and almost wiped out the whole army. If she hadn't run fast, the disaster would have been over.
After the Demon King, who did not believe in evil, went to a small town called "Mette Town" in a small border country. Just when she thought that this kind of town wouldn't receive much attention, the facts told her that indeed, the human coalition did not pay much attention to it.
When a girl named Carrie led thousands of Platinum-level Black Emperor subjects to smash the Demon King's heart and lungs, the Demon King realized that humans either didn't want to take care of it or they couldn't.
This place has long been the capital of the Black Emperor.
It can be said that the human coalition's ability to suppress the Demon King now relies almost entirely on Futaba's various activities pretending to be the Demon King. Three years ago, Eluma had already relied on the double guarantees of Herinen and Magnum III to allow Futaba to defeat the Demon King. Ye got rid of his identity as the Demon King and became the legitimate Black Emperor.
However, when everything was heading towards the best ending, this oracle disrupted all plans.
The content of the oracle is simple.
Kill the Black Emperor.
