Chapter 3318: One More Time Left, Now Gone
*************************************************** ***************************************
After staying in the dim Night Demon Temple with swaying flames for a long time, when I came out, the gloomy sky of hell seemed a bit dazzling. Lilith's emotions have calmed down. She has always been very mature and calm. The pain of genocide may make her prompting her to become more mature.
I'm just a little worried, what should I do if she can't smile again? Well, if you think about it carefully, Lilith didn't seem to smile much in the past.
Aikalay and the evil dragon Reina were waiting at the entrance of the Night Demon Altar. When they saw us coming out, they crowded over and looked at me and then at Lilith. It was rare that even the evil dragon Reina changed her usual rudeness. The problem with blocking is that he hesitates to speak. He wants to know the news, but he can't bear to ask in front of Lilith.
Just by looking at the tears still on Lilith's face, they knew that the news they wanted to know was not good news.
The evil dragon Lena wanted to know the truth as if her butt was on fire, but had to worry about Lilith's feelings. I wanted to laugh a little, but I glanced at Lilith, but she remained silent.
Silence represents acquiescence, right? Recently, Lilith and I seem to have formed such a silent understanding.
It is not a secret. There is only Lilith left in the Night Demon clan. It is impossible to flaunt it to the outside world, but it is not an untouchable taboo. If it is hidden, the Night Demon clan will not suddenly pop up. two.
I waved and took the two dragon girls aside who were overflowing with curiosity. I rambled and roughly told them what happened in the temple.
"Lilith is so pathetic."
Leona said this. Although she had almost never spoken to Lilith and was a stranger to her, she was the daughter of this idiot. Therefore, she subconsciously felt that she was the same as her daughter who was a stranger to her, so it was natural for her to care about her. If it were an outsider, not to mention that there was only one left and the clan was exterminated. Miss Leona, who had a straightforward personality, would not say a word of hypocrisy.
"I didn't expect that Belial was behind it again. What's her conspiracy?" Compared to the outspoken Leona, Aikarai thinks much more deeply, and her own wisdom can help the German in front of her. Rui, isn't it great?
"That bastard is causing trouble everywhere."
My hatred for Belial can be said to be an old hatred that has not gone away, but a new one. This old fox usually keeps quiet. Once there is any movement, it must be making big news. A small fight is definitely not what he is. You have to be careful about your style.
"That monster is, as we suspected before, sealed by the Moon God."
"Yes." I nodded.
When I was walking around with Aiwa'er and the others, I already had this speculation. It must be a huge sealing magic circle that can only be used by the four-winged angels with all their strength. After thinking about it, Lord Moon God is not the most qualified. Candidate?
However, we were unable to draw this conclusion at the time. The reason why Lord Moon God died was to break the World Stone connecting Hell and prevent Hell from invading. What was the purpose of setting up this big seal? When was it set up to seal what? What does it have to do with her original actions?
Now that Night Demon has confirmed our guess, there are still many questions that remain unresolved.
"Aikarai, what do you think?" Lena and Linya were not here. I was accustomed to relying on the wisdom of the white dragon girl. I couldn't figure it out, so I looked at her.
"The mastermind behind the scenes is Belial, but we have no way to deal with it now. We can only passively resist. This is a helpless reality. Since Belial's purpose is to release the sealed monster, then we can only start from this The head monster is starting to do it.”
"Yes, I'm afraid I thought too simply at first. This monster is most likely coming for us."
I totally agree. That bastard Belial is definitely brewing a conspiracy against the Holy See Mountain. Although restricted by Lucifer, the Four Demon Kings cannot blatantly deal with the Holy See Mountain within these five years. It's definitely something they're very happy to see.
Andariel has a fiery and cruel personality, not because he lacks IQ, but because of his personality, he is too lazy to use intrigues.
Duriel stays at home all year round. The Horadric tribe of the third world has been wandering under its nose for so long, but it has never seen it take action. It only sent Brother Ka to hide and seek with them, and was finally rescued by us.
Azmodan... is a fool as the rumors say. His projection and clone came to the Dark Continent for a period of time. The prototype was a skeleton demon king holding a pitch black sword, with a skull head, demon horns, a dark crown, and an abyss. The armor and cloak may be the devil that best fits the image of the devil. He is indeed much stronger than the other three devils. If it were not for the suppression of the experienced magic circle, the adventurers might not be able to hold on.
Then, after testing by adventurers, Azmodan's projection and clones are indeed better than those of other demon kings and gods... How should I put it, easy to deceive, as long as you can use your brain, it is not difficult to deal with it. I have never heard of it so far. The adventure team has its wings folded there, and it looks like a ferocious image but is actually a warm image from the community.
However, Azmodan's projection and clones did not last long before disappearing. Then they always appeared and disappeared mysteriously, elusive, just like the random Santa Claus or treasure goblins in online games. They can be encountered. It is impossible to ask for, which has always made everyone regretful.
The above three demon kings, at least in the past five years, either have no ability or disdain to use low-level means to attack the Holy See Mountain. I am relatively reassured. Only Belial has never been stingy in showing off his machinations. The greatest threat to the Holy See cannot be taken lightly just because of five years of security incidents.
As for the three demons, it feels like their heads are almost gathering dust, and I don’t know what they are doing. The figure king who is responsible for monitoring the great demon Baal... ahem, that’s wrong, it’s the guardian, Uncle Urric, who has complained a lot. He has suffered in vain all these years and wasted his great youth. Isn't his youth just the house full of figurines?
After thinking about this, I continued to look at Aikalay, waiting for her to continue.
"So, let's put Belial aside for now and sort out the clues about this monster first. No matter what Belial's conspiracy is, I think we will have to deal with this monster in the end."
"Can we really deal with this monster? It's a seal placed by Lord Moon God." I was a little worried because my opponent was too strong, and I felt a little unsure.
"If it doesn't work, ask the angels for help. They won't just watch their balance being broken, right?" Aikalay winked at me playfully, which made me realize, by the way, you can hug your thighs at this time.
It seems that Aikalay is very aware of the turmoil between angels and demons.
I was determined, but I couldn't leave an image in front of the dragon girls of someone who only hugged each other's thighs and ate soft food... Although it seemed a bit too late.
"However, you can't just rely on angels. If you can find a solution yourself, that would be the best. Otherwise, it would be good to collect some information and clues about the demon king and be prepared."
"Well, Your Excellency Wu Fan is right. Now I am very concerned about the last words left by that night devil."
"Aikarai, do you have any ideas? Wraiths, ghosts, revenge, retribution, etc. I'm confused. I can only imagine that the monster should be a ghost or something like that."
I scratched my head and lamented that such a bloody thing happened to me. It would be nice if Teris could explain it more clearly.
"Well, so the available clues lie in the words revenge and retribution." Aikalay fell into deep thought.
"In terms of revenge, I feel like the Night Demons have offended a lot of enemies. They have always been aloof in the hell world and look down on other monsters. I'm afraid they have already aroused public anger. They have a big target."
"No, just the opposite."
"Any idea?"
"Didn't Sir Wu Fan say that in the hell world, Night Demon has always been aloof and looks down on other monsters?"
"Uh-huh."
"I think if it is just contempt and no other more drastic actions, such as massacre of a certain ethnic group, I think the word revenge should not be used."
"Well, it makes sense, but the target is still very big. God knows who these big night demons have attacked. They are not merciful people."
"Revenge should be referring to the monster. It is very likely that the monster has a huge connection with the target they provoked back then."
"Then, the monster was sealed by the Moon God. This should be what happened after the Moon God's death."
"Why? Lady Moon Goddess had great achievements in the past. During the Battle of Original Sin, she almost wiped out the hell world. She is the true God of War and Moon God. Maybe she was the opponent who was sealed by her during the Battle of Original Sin? "
I remembered again Lord Luna's words about never being defeated, mediocre, with a look that would destroy everything.
"The opponent who was sealed during the Original Sin War waited until he fell before sending people to guard him. Moreover, he was still a member of the Night Demon clan with no fighting ability. Isn't it unnecessary and painful to be idle?"
Aikalay didn't say anything, and the evil dragon Rena who was listening on the side couldn't help but said something. It seemed that what she said made sense, so I won't argue with her.
"But when I think about it, I suddenly feel that maybe that monster is not an opponent that I can't defeat at all."
I made some more decisions in my mind. If that monster was the opponent sealed by Lord Moon during the War of Original Sin when its strength was at its peak, it would be terrible. Of course, even after it fell, there was only a trace of its soul left. And the obsessive Moon God, his strength is also terrifying to the extreme. The Seven Giants and others dare not provoke him at all, but at least he is much weaker than in his heyday.
I can only comfort myself like this, otherwise what else can I do? When things have reached this point, I am also very desperate.
"I have also heard a little bit about the big seals of the angel clan. They are usually used to seal opponents that they cannot deal with. Of course, occasionally there is a second situation, which is to seal people who you don't want to kill but want to prevent their actions. To put it bluntly, it is a cage painted on the ground."
"Aikarai, you seem to have an idea?" Seeing that the white dragon girl's topic seemed to be constantly referring to something, I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"There is a guess, but there is no solid evidence to prove it. Your Excellency Wu Fan, please let me investigate for some more time and let you know when it is confirmed."
"Well, I'll leave everything to you. It would be great if I could find that monster now. Even if I take a quick look at it from a distance, I might be able to find some useful clues."
I crossed my arms and sighed loudly. Now that things have happened, I no longer have such naive thoughts in my mind as "Don't provoke that monster, it's best if we don't have anything to do with each other." Since it is Belial's conspiracy, sooner or later, If we want to fight it, if we avoid it now, it will be nothing more than an ostrich burying itself in the sand.
"Lilith must be tired. Let's go back quickly." Aikalay reminded me, which suddenly woke me up. Yes, there is no point in thinking about it in a hurry now. I'd better do the things in front of me first.
We returned to Lilith with the dragon girls. She stood in the same place, unchanged from when we left. She was as dumb as a statue, which made me feel extremely distressed.
"Lilith?" I stepped forward and hugged her, wiping away the last tears on her face.
Lilith blinked, and then looked at me motionless. She neither kicked me away nor turned her eyes blank. It was as if she had lost the reason and meaning of living. Those cold eyes were nothing but too much. Apart from a bit of sadness and a complex look that I couldn't understand, it was just the same as usual.
I was relieved, but also very confused. What on earth was Lilith thinking, and what kind of changes had happened in her heart?
"Going back." Lilith, who had been staring at me, suddenly said.
"Hmm...ah, yes, you are right, let's go back." I nodded happily, happy with Lilith's words. After going back, she still regards the Holy See Hill as her home. It has not changed, my Lili. Si has not changed.
"Go back, let's go back now." Leading Lilith to the teleportation array, I suddenly remembered an important question that I hadn't asked.
"Aikarai, how many times can the temporary teleportation array be teleported?"
"Probably...it can be teleported three times."
"Probably?" I was confused. This is not a problem that can be solved.
"Following the instructions of His Excellency Wu Fan, I used the most economical means of materials, but gave full play to the super long range. It can probably be teleported three to four times. We have to try it to know how many times it can be teleported."
"What kind of trial?"
"It's very simple. Just let me use it once and I will know the status of the teleportation array and how many times it can be used."
"For the sake of safety, just treat it as if there are two more opportunities to teleport. Lilith will go back first, and then Aikarai. It's just right to try it out. If there is still one more chance to teleport, then Rena will be next. I won't go back alone. Question, what do you think?"
I looked at everyone. Lilith must have no objections. We can't let her go back as the weakest one. Aikalay nodded with a smile. The evil dragon Reina rarely showed off and just snorted softly.
Immediately, Lilith stepped into the teleportation array and returned to the Holy See Mountain first, followed by Aikalay, who also stepped into the teleportation array, turned around and waved to us with a smile, and her figure gradually disappeared.
Uh...then what?
I touched my chin and felt something was wrong. Speaking of which, Aikalay, who has already returned, should tell us whether there are any remaining transmission times?
I started to panic a little and looked at the evil dragon Lena.
"Even a giant dragon can't send messages at such a long distance." The little female dragon spread her hands and said indifferently: "But don't worry, Sister Aikarai will be fine. There will definitely be a way."
She always had the confidence to be fascinated by Aikalay. No, she was confident.
The teleportation array suddenly erupted with light, and we thought someone was coming again. However, after the light disappeared, a fluttering piece of paper appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
Immediately afterwards, this teleportation array, which was so expensive that it could bankrupt me, turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind under my distressed eyes.
The evil dragon Leina and I looked at each other and stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper.
I saw it read:
Lilith is back home, don't worry. (Aikarai’s cartoon smiling face)
It turns out that there is really one more time left, and my skills have not deteriorated, which is great. (Aikarai’s cartoon smiling face)
But that's gone now. (Aikarai’s cartoon smiling face)
I:"……"
Evil Dragon Lena: "..."
I raised the note and found that the evil dragon Leina was trembling all over. Perhaps she felt a little shaken. Deep in my heart, Aikarai's tall image might be rapidly crumbling.
Aikalay is indeed very reliable.
But when she deliberately wants to be unreliable, she can make you confused...
