Chapter 140
If the owner of that breath is not still familiar with it, they even suspect that mankind will usher in real despair...if this is the case where the other party is really the devil.
The ruined Frilian, the Golden Land and the Empire: Chapter 5: The new strongest demon clan, Aura in the finale, and the new demon king are you, right?
Even though they were all acquaintances, the three of them still couldn't suppress the panic in their hearts.
Because it was not a physical impact, but a simple sense of crisis where life was under a huge threat.
The sky was filled with the smell of death, which also aroused instinctive fear, making everyone's chests tighten, and monsters and beasts from further away fled desperately.
But compared to the exclamation and fear of everyone... Solitier, who had already withdrawn from the city fortress, even though her hands were shaking, her face was still filled with indescribable excitement.
She could not even control herself, staring intently at the "black moon" that suppressed the earth with her fiery gaze:
"——This is mine, the real... Demon King! It's... amazing~!"
Because the figure suppressing the gold everywhere brought unprecedented oppression, making the air become extremely heavy, as if even the shape had changed.
Looking from a distance, under the black moon.
The entire urban fortress was caught in this weird distortion.
With that amazing pressure, even an urban fortress made of steel can be crushed into pancakes and crushed into powder in an instant.
Even the golden city that was broken into pieces should have risen from the ground and into the sky, launching an unprecedented anti-gravity tsunami towards the sky with a huge golden ocean.
But at this moment, the countless golden "cannonballs" that were hiding from the sky and the sun were all forced to stagnate, just suspended in mid-air.
This scene seems to be in the process of the heaven and earth turning upside down, time is pressed and suspended, and the entire broken city is suspended in the air.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a golden desert suspended in the sky.
"...Isn't it impossible to resist gravity just by the magic power it radiates?"
Mahat, who was holding the trident tightly with his hands trembling slightly, was still looking at the world shrouded in gold despite the sweat dripping from his body.
Even so, he could no longer see any moonlight or the figure that "swallowed" the moon.
However, a regretless smile bloomed on his face: "But this is the best, let us use the purest magician's way, so that in the end, in the magician's way, we will have a fair duel - until the end! "
Before he finished speaking, countless golden fragments seemed to respond to his call, converging into a golden torrent going upstream, soaring into the sky with his tall and straight figure.
Huge magic power surged in and around him, as if a golden dragon had broken free from the constraints of gravity and soared into the sky. The huge mass alone was enough to shake mountains and rivers and destroy everything.
At the same time, the huge gravity field that oppressed all living beings also underwent drastic changes at this moment.
All the power converged at one point, causing the surrounding space to emit bursts of wailing. "——Not bad! Mahat, now...at the end, show me all your beliefs, your magic, and your lifelong secrets—speechlessly!"
The broken black moon turned into distorted light and shadow at this moment, converging into a huge thunder that tore apart the space.
There was no sound, all the sounds and light fell into the void, but the terrifying power seemed to shatter the entire continent.
And that can no longer be called "thunder", because when the strange singular point fell, it dragged a huge "black" tail, but it was actually the trajectory of space being ruthlessly cut through.
It has surpassed the category of thunder and should be called the "falling moon". It fell from the sky and directly hit the golden dragon.
At the top of the world, two demon giants, veritable terrifying beings, set off an unprecedented confrontation head-on.
It is a terror beyond the reach of human beings, and it is also a power that no one can interfere with.
But...the conflict between the two is not evenly matched.
Luoyue, who far exceeded the concept of heavenly punishment, eroded the golden dragon like a broken bamboo, causing the entire "dragon" protected by Mahat's magic power to obviously begin to decompose and collapse.
Unable to stop Luoyue's tyranny, the Golden Dragon's huge body exploded and collapsed without further ado.
Victory or defeat is clear at a glance.
When Luoyue completed its mission and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, the huge shock wave that had lost its restraint shook the surrounding world.
A huge roar echoed through the sky.
Countless gold fragments turned into a golden torrent of light and spread around.
The shock wave that shot straight into the sky blew away the thick clouds, allowing the moonlight to shine gently on the ruined land again.

On that land covered with strange things, covered with devastation and gold-colored dust, Ma (Hart lay quietly) was heartbroken among the eight ruins of the city.
His chest was pierced, and blood continued to overflow like a fountain. Under the condition that his own body could not maintain, it also disintegrated, making it seem as if a black smoke-like substance was constantly emitting around him. It looked like He looked like he was about to die soon.
No, the reality is that his life is short.
Only at the time of death, the magic power that has completely penetrated into every cell in the body will break free from the restraints of the body and cause the demon's body to dissipate into magic particles.
By the way, even the clothes will be eroded by the out-of-control magic power and dissipate into the air, leaving nothing behind.
After returning to his normal state, Ash stood beside him and looked at him expressionlessly: "....Finally, do you have any last words?"
"The demons are really pathetic creatures." Mahat stared blankly at the night sky without a single cloud and murmured to himself:
"The moment I put on the domination stone ring, I thought that I was no longer afraid of death. After all... if it was for the feelings I couldn't understand, for coexisting with humans... and for waiting for retribution, Even if I lose my life, I won’t hesitate.”
"Do you regret it now?"
"Ah, if I can... I'm really going to die now. I really want to escape, but even if you show mercy, my body still can't hold it in, and the magic power is constantly flowing out of my body. It's hopeless. Right?" Mahat smiled helplessly.
"Even if the heart is destroyed, even if you struggle a little bit, you can still do it, right?"
"Forget it, I don't want to continue any meaningless behavior at this time." After that, Mahat finally turned to look at Ash, but showed a smile that was completely different from what he said: "Why do you So... do you understand human emotions?"
"....Does that kind of thing really make sense?"
"Of course."
"Where? More important than your own life?"
"Actually...I'm thinking about this now."
"Yes...that's it."
...
Obviously, he looked like he was willing to die generously, and even all his actions felt like he was seeking his own death.
At least Mahat behaved extremely irrationally before this incident, giving the impression that he hoped humans could defeat him.
But in the end, he is still afraid of death like most demons. This is... there is nothing to say. After all, who is not afraid of death, even he is afraid of death.
But even if he said this, Mahat did not beg for mercy or anything, which was obviously different from what he said.
After just shaking his head briefly, Ash temporarily gave up thinking and asked directly: "At the end, is there anything else you want to say? For example, begging for mercy? Or last words?"
".<.tumour..I'm too cold to do those three things. After all, think about others seriously. This can be considered my retribution."
"Obviously he is a demon, but he still believes in retribution."
"Speaking of it...there is indeed something wrong with this." His words made Mahat slightly stunned, but he looked at the moonlight on the horizon again and slowly closed his eyes: "But, that's probably what happened. ?”
"But now, you still have a chance to do it again. After all, there is still time. You can understand it in a different way instead of killing."
"Are you talking about this now? My body is already like this?"
"It's not a big problem. Just control it first and then treat it slowly."
As soon as Ash finished speaking, a pink-haired girl walked out of the ruins not far away, followed by a group of soldiers.
Although Mahat didn't have much explanation for his thoughts, he could only accept this situation as "nothing can be done".
But for such a useful talent, Yaxiu still couldn't accept the saying "it's impossible to do anything".
Therefore - a month ago, he notified Aura in advance for today.
............................
"It's really embarrassing, Mahat." Aura, who had already settled in a nearby village, raised her chin and looked down at the man on the ground in a condescending manner, with an arrogant smile on her lips:
"You didn't expect it, did you? The big shot in the finale was actually me."
"...What's so strange about this? Have you been his lackey since half a century ago?"
three
"A running dog...?" When Aura heard this, her smile froze slightly, and she felt that a certain string in her mind was suddenly broken: "——If I am a running dog, then what does it mean for you to be a dog for humans? A slave? At least I won't bow down to Ash!"
"Is there a difference? Aren't we all essentially the same when it comes to obeying others? Or are you planning to stab him in the back at a critical moment?" Mahat, who responded with a sneer, said his last words. It smells a bit like sowing discord, and it would be useless normally, but...
"——Of course! I have been waiting for this opportunity! This was what we said at the beginning, right? Ash!" Aura was so excited that she almost jumped up, turned her head suddenly to look at Ash, and said Pushing him hard, asking him to testify for himself.
"...Why are you looking at me at this time? And if you want to know a little more about what backstabbing means, and think about it a little bit, how will I feel about being stabbed in the back?" Jumping into someone else's trap with precision. As a girl, Ash didn't want to pay attention to her at all. While letting her shake, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and put his hand on her head, trying to stop this ridiculous behavior from continuing.
Although he felt like he was raising a willful child, and that was indeed the case, but...after all, he raised the child by himself, so he couldn't say anything more:
"Anyway...can we stop saying these weird things at this time and do some serious business?"
"...Doesn't this guy only know how to control dead bodies? What else is there for him?" After he tried hard to change the subject, Mahat said mockingly: "Is it possible? Does her necromancy magic also have a healing effect?"
"How is that possible! My magic is not necromancy magic! The system and precision of magic are completely different! By the way... are you looking down on me too much??"
Aura, who had just been comforted by having her head touched, jumped up as if her hair was about to explode.
This made Ya Xiu Shan couldn't help but feel distressed. He could only grab her by the horns and advised: Dad, "Don't be so excited. He just... hasn't figured it out yet. No." It’s just too clear; but it’s different for me, I know your power very well.”
"Hmph...although I can't say I'm happy, but...it's good to understand!" Aura, who was too lazy to argue with the dying person, adjusted her mood, swatted his hand away, and then put on her arrogant expression again. attitude, looking coldly at Mahat on the ground:
"Now I can't tolerate your refusal. You have to accept it even if you don't accept it."
"....So your magic can still control the living?"
"Of course! As long as I am willing, all lives are under the control of my magic!" Aura replied proudly.
"..." Faced with this arrogant answer, Mahat remained silent for a moment before asking: "Then? What are the flaws?"
"My magic is flawless!"
Aura didn't intend to answer at all, and a scale of obedience appeared in her hand, and then...
"Obey the magic."
At this moment, the magic power of both sides was placed on the balance at the same time.
Of course, Mahat's condition at this moment was not enough to win, and the balance naturally tilted towards Aura's side.
"This binding force...is stronger than imagined..."
Mahat's body stiffened due to the irresistible restraint, and his voice revealed surprise, but... his will and words did not waver.
It was obviously already this time, but he didn't look at Aura at all. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ash and calmly stated the consensus they shared when they turned human friends into gold, and declared: " ....One day, you will also receive retribution, just like me now."
"I think so too." Ash responded calmly.
"Then...it's okay to leave this power to you for the time being. Let me, as a puppet, take a good look at which one is correct, your way or mine."
Mahat resisted briefly, then quickly calmed down, and finally closed his eyes and left a sentence:
"I wish you... a happy journey, my outstanding juniors."

............................
Under normal circumstances, if Jingguo has not expressed any willingness to submit to the five parties in advance, or the final words are quite ambiguous, it is difficult to guarantee his sincerity.
The safest way is to directly cut off its head and make it an unconscious soldier, or to control it through brain surgery.
But once the demons die, the out-of-control magic power will turn their bodies into dust, so naturally such measures cannot be implemented.
Therefore, we can only choose to believe that the other party is really willing to become a puppet...at least for the time being.
If it really doesn't work, we'll just deal with it when the time comes.
After all, even if you have a strong willpower and powerful magic power, it shouldn't be a big problem if you can escape control for a short time.
After all, the gold of all things has been deciphered. Even if Aura is turned into gold, Fulian can be relieved, and an order can be issued later... asking him to commit suicide immediately after committing an act of rebellion.
But this is tantamount to a one-time bomb that may explode. After all... Mahat can exert powerful combat effectiveness without turning everything into gold.
Therefore, how to deal with it properly has become a problem. We can only move him to a distant place for use when the time comes, as far away from Aura and others as possible, so as to avoid problems and reduce losses as much as possible.
And now... Mahat, who was controlled by obedience magic, the bleeding on his chest has stopped, and the loss of magic power has been quickly stopped, and is even gradually recovering.
"It's awesome~my obedience magic."
Aura sat leisurely on the gravel nearby, raising her feet with high spirits and looking up at Ash.
The proud look in his eyes almost said "Come on, praise me!" written on his face.
