According to the brave man, he had suffered countless assassinations and attacks before this, but he had all been resurrected. Moreover, the brave man at that time was holding a holy sword, which was so fierce that it could be said that a person could kill a Buddha if he blocked it.
But when his descendants killed him once with the holy sword, when the hero was resurrected, he suddenly found that his power began to drain away!
It was like a hole was broken in an hourglass, and the sand inside flowed out little by little. This made the brave man very frightened. He tried to find a way to stop this trend, but to no avail... So gradually, he changed from the original one. The strong and fierce man who managed ten women in one night turned into the black-robed eunuch who was panting heavily when he walked.
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai almost died laughing.
The brave man himself didn't understand why this happened, but he knew it all too well.
The Demon King will not die because the Demon King is a subspace creature and can be reborn in the subspace. But the hero is a human being. If he wants to obtain characteristics similar to the Demon King, the only way is to turn himself into a subspace creature. So after signing the contract with the so-called Demon King, the brave man actually became half a subspace creature.
Of course, it's usually fine, but when you encounter a power like the Holy Sword that restrains subspace creatures, once the balance is broken, there is only one end - because the so-called restraint of subspace, in the final analysis, is to exile the subspace creatures. , that is to say, the brave man will gradually transform into a complete subspace creature. This is also the reason why his power will be lost, because the holy sword banishes most of the brave man's power, and only this body maintains his existence in this world. The last anchor point. If the brave man is killed again, he will probably be transformed into a pure subspace creature.
People say that devils are cunning, but information asymmetry is one of the reasons why devils are cunning. In fact, they themselves do not know much about hell and subspace. This is why the Inquisitor has been studying the warp. You have to understand your enemy in order to defeat your enemy.
If any demon king dares to tell Duanmu Huai that he wants to live forever, Duanmu Huai will definitely look at him like an idiot - do you think I'm stupid?
Similarly, if someone is stupid enough to ask Duanmu Huai to send him to the universe, then Duanmu Huai doesn't care and just puts the person into the rescue capsule and launches into the universe.
Um? What to do if there is no oxygen?
It's none of my business. You didn't ask me to send you a living person.
So many times, information asymmetry is the biggest fraud. In fact, many agreements between companies in the real world also have similar parts. It’s your own problem that you didn’t ask me to explain it in detail. I have no obligation to teach you from scratch like a teacher. , so if you were cheated, you deserved it, so what does it have to do with me?
Many people who have been deceived by the devil are actually deceived in this way. When the devil comes to the door, he will talk like an insurance salesman and make people excited. However, when you take out the insurance and want to use it, you will find that the difficulty is comparable to having no head. Unsolved case. After all, the ancients had little experience in this area, but modern people...well, it can only be said that some of them are still resistant.
The reason why it is not all is because there are still many people who fall for phone scams every year.
This shows that the devil never has to worry about being deceived by fools in any era.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Duanmuhuai saw that Aurelia was basically speechless, so he asked on her behalf.
"Of course I want to take back what originally belonged to me."
The brave man seemed quite confident when he said this.
"I originally saved this country, so I want to take it back. This is my right. But to be honest..."
As he spoke, the hero looked at Alleria with hateful eyes.
"I really didn't expect that my heirs are still alive and doing well. I thought they were all dead a long time ago."
For those who can’t wait to see their family die off, this is probably a rare occasion.
"your Highness."
After listening to the story and almost passing the time, Duanmuhuai reached out and patted Aurelia on the shoulder. The latter suddenly came back to her senses.
"Wha, what?"
"What to do with this guy?"
Duanmuhuai pointed at the brave man in front of him, and Alleria also understood Duanmuhuai's problem at this time. For a moment... she didn't know what to say.
But Duanmu Huai doesn't care about this trouble.
"Then get rid of it. Keeping it will be a disaster."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he silently took out the holy sword. But when he saw the huge thing in Duanmuhuai's hand, the brave man's expression changed.
"Wait, what do you want to do? What is that in your hand?"
"Holy Sword, haven't you seen it before?"
"You're kidding, why did the Holy Sword become like this? Wait, you can't kill me..."
"Why? Because the Demon King is no longer in this world, right? Who will I kill if I don't kill you?"
"how do you know…………!?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the brave man was shocked. He looked at Duanmu Huai in horror and was speechless for a moment.
"hehe."
Duanmu Huai didn't answer, just smiled, and at this moment the brave man seemed to suddenly realize.
"You, you took a peek at my diary————"
"boom."
However, before the brave man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai stretched out his right hand, and the big stone in front of the holy sword whizzed down like a hydraulic hammer with black flames, directly smashing the brave man into the ground, and the hammer lay flat against the ground. , there isn’t even a single crack, and as for the flesh and blood splashing out on the ground, it will be flattened by just crushing it.
“Click————”
But what Duanmuhuai didn't expect was that at this moment, the huge stone originally located in front of the holy sword seemed to finally be unable to withstand Duanmuhuai's destruction. It shattered with a crisp burst, and then emitted The dazzling sword blade finally appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the blood of the brave is actually the last step to lift the seal. It's really interesting."
Duanmuhuai looked at the holy sword in front of him, chuckled, then put the holy sword away, and turned to look at Alleria, who was just staring at the ground in front of her blankly, as if thinking, It's like he's not thinking about anything.
Duanmuhuai didn't have much to say, so he patted Aurelia on the shoulder, then turned and left.
The reason why he knew that the instigator was no longer in this world was because... the deadline had actually passed long ago.
Yes, logically speaking, the Demon King should have been resurrected a hundred years ago, but there is no trace of him until now, so the problem is already obvious. This world is just a soul fragment, not the real world. It would be okay if the Demon King stayed in this world like a certain evil dragon in Manalia, but since it has been expelled from this world, it is naturally impossible to come back.
This is also the reason why the brave man dares to come out to cause trouble. At first, he was afraid that the devil would settle the score with him. Later, when he hid and found that the devil never came back, he began to boldly want to take back what belonged to him.
As for the Demon King... Well, Duanmu Huai thinks it may be finished.
After all, hundreds of years are indeed not a long time in the eyes of subspace creatures, but in the real world, it is considered a time of great changes. Just like the Lost Land, before Duanmuhuai bombed it, it looked desolate. No one knows what will happen in the end. How was Minas destroyed? In addition, in many cases, the short time does not mean that it is unimportant. In the world of Faerun for more than a hundred years, earth-shattering events such as the coming of the saint and the second return have occurred. The former is completely It changed the ecological environment of the gods of Faerûn, and the latter also triggered a melee between the gods. As for whether the demon king was involved in it and died in which place... I don't know.
In general, Duanmu Huai's work in this world is almost done. As for the demon king...well, if it jumps out, it's not too late to deal with it.
Now there is only one thing left for Duanmu Huai.
"Mr. Judge."
Alleria came to the balcony at some point and looked at Luminas City in front of her with a complicated expression.
"Do you understand?"
"I have nothing to think about."
Aurelia shook her head, and then she looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Mr. Judge, what do you think...what will this world eventually become?"
"This...I don't know."
"Actually, this is not the first time I have experienced this."
As she spoke, Aurelia turned her head and looked forward.
"Mr. Judge, you may not know that for me, the battle in the North Fortress was not just that one time. I still remember that at the beginning, I tried hard to resist the invasion of the monster army, and then... …I was killed by the dragon. However, when I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find that I had once again returned to the time before the war in the Northland Fortress."
Aurelia said calmly, her tone seemed very calm.
"I was very excited and happy at the time. I thought it was God who gave me a chance to do it again, so I cherished this hard-won opportunity very much. I sent additional soldiers again according to my memory, and made various preparations. I tried my best to plan...but, I still failed."
Alleria said this, closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Then I started over again, and I tried very hard to do my best, and it just kept repeating, but... there was no good ending every time."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why Alleria had that expression when she first fought in the North Fortress. When a dungeon player first started playing, it was quite fresh, and when she loaded the game again, she was still gearing up. I want to do my best, but if the team is destroyed dozens of times in a row... then that's another thing.
"There were several times when I tried hard to protect the Northland Fortress, but was betrayed. I couldn't understand or accept it. Gradually, I began to become numb, even if I wanted to commit suicide. When I opened my eyes again, I It will be back to that snowy day in the Northland again.”
As she spoke, Alleria held her chest.
"Gradually, for me, this is no longer a gift from the gods, but a curse from the devil. It seems to want to tell me that no matter what I do, no matter how many times I repeat it, I can't change everything in the end. I even I don’t know when this will come to an end. Until you appear.”
Aurelia turned her head and looked at Duanmuhuai.
"To be honest, I was really surprised at that time, because in the dozens of previous reincarnations, I had never seen you or encountered anything similar. That's why I made that rude request at that time. ……………”
I see.
No wonder Alleria wanted to go to the battlefield by herself. For Alleria, it was a rare NPC that she couldn't let go after she had been playing dungeons for so long.
"And your performance exceeded my expectations, so I agreed to your request. Now it seems... this choice is correct."
No wonder Alleria could even agree to such an outrageous request of her own. It seemed that she was just like those players who would not let go of any outrageous option in order to pass the level.
"So do you think you're out of this cycle now?"
"I have no idea."
Alleria shook her head.
"I'm also afraid of knowing that maybe when I finally open my eyes again after I die of old age, I'll be back in that familiar place."
That's really disappointing.
Duanmuhuai now understood why Alleria fell. Playing over and over like this would make anyone else collapse.
"If you are worried about this problem, then leave it to me. I will ensure that your soul will go to the Tribunal after your death and will not start over again."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Duanmuhuai and approached him again - closing the distance between the two to the limit.
Seeing this scene, Ogis snorted slightly in displeasure, but said nothing.
"You have done so much for me and this country..."
Alleria stretched out her hand and gently touched Duanmuhuai's armor.
"So, what do you want in return?"
