Chapter 10 Chapter Seven: I Saw the Demon King

The ancient castle of Smara is very large, and with the sound of jingling, the souls of the dead are ascending to heaven.Yundi was tired and was at a loss.She leaned against the stone railing, thinking about the past, her hands were colder than the stone railing.But it was night, and what she was waiting for hadn't come yet. Suddenly the big clock rang, and midnight came, and all the souls looked outside the gate of the castle. There was a knock at the door. It's very quiet, but everyone can hear it.At this moment, all moving people froze, and Yundi knew that time had stopped, and this day would never pass.

Kant and his party walked into the ancient castle of Smara, and there was no monster as they imagined. The castle now looks like a large primitive rainforest, and only the clothing patterns of stone carvings can be vaguely seen.All kinds of exotic plants have engulfed the place, and the sound of rattling growth spreads everywhere. "What should we do?" Joanna said anxiously, "The ancient knight of Smara is still fighting the monsters in the castle, I hope he is all right." "I only care about where the devil's treasure is." Reid rummaged through the strange bushes, "Wow, these things can bite."

"Stay away from them." Amos said, "These things eat people without spit out bones." "I found a monster!" Xi Tan suddenly yelled and pulled something out of the bushes. "You're the monster!" the thing roared, "I'm here to help you... that singer can testify!" Ron suddenly wanted to hide in the bushes, because he saw that it was the dwarf Az who forced him to recite the ancient elf language version of "The Epic of Ruo Xinghan". "Do you know this dwarf?" Sitan asked Ron. "Please throw this trash back into the piranha bushes!" Ron tilted his head.

"Hey! I gave you such a precious intelligence potion, and you're treating me like this!" "Don't mention the wisdom potion!" Ron was angry when he heard it. "Well, maybe you can be useful to us." Amos said, "At this time, it is always good to have an extra helper, especially a dwarf who can rush forward and act as a human shield when encountering monsters..." "You are like a meat shield!" Aziz countered, "I am a great magician!" "Dwarves use magic?" all the people shouted together. "What's all the fuss about!" Az yelled violently.

"Then it seems that us swordsmen should learn how to tame beasts or summon elements." Reed laughed. "The stairs are covered with vines, how can we get to the second floor of the castle?" Xitan looked at the height and said worriedly. Duris, the black-clothed swordsman, stood alone at the end of the team, looking around. He looked at the plants on the high roof that were slowly extending down. "Our space is getting smaller and smaller. They're closing in," Duris said. "It would be nice to have a magician at this time." Reed muttered, "I can set a fire or something. It's too troublesome to deal with these things with a sword."

"This dwarf is said to be!" Xitan pointed at Az. "I'm an earth mage, setting fires is out of my control!" Az clasped his hands and tilted his head. "So what's the use of talking about a master? A baker can do this..." The little Xitan took out a small glass bottle from his arms, which contained orange powder, and threw it towards the stairs, booming. The flames burned immediately, and the magic vines squeaked in the flames. "No, you have angered them." Duris said loudly, holding down the sword, "their growth has accelerated!" "Okay, now the stairs are full of fire, and we can't go up even more." Reed complained.

"Who made the noise at the beginning?" Xi Tan shouted angrily. "Who told you that you can only put it on but not extinguish it...Wow, the fire is coming..." Reed stepped on the flame. "Catch this vine." Suddenly a severed vine fell from above. Everyone raised their heads, "Duris, when did you go up?" Amos asked in surprise. "As long as you move fast enough, climb up before they entangle you." Duris tied the rattan to the railing, and walked to the depths of the second floor of the castle. "Hey! How did he run so fast? Is he trying to steal the treasure all by himself? Follow up!" Reid yelled, leading the desperate mercenary group to climb up.

Ron looked at Kant: "Please go ahead." "There is still one person who knows how to behave." Kant said, "No, you should invite him first." "But your trousers are on fire," said Ron. Kant, who was smoking, yelled and stepped on the heads of Amos, Sitan and Reed on the vine. When all the people climbed up to the second floor, they saw that there was already a passage opened by Duris in front, leading directly to the depths of the corridor. "That guy must be a savage who grew up in the jungle," Sitan said. "He's here like a rat in a water pipe."

"That's because there is the devil's treasure in front!" Reed kicked Xitan from behind, "Hurry up and catch up!" "If you have the ability to kick Amos!" Xitan kicked back angrily. "Ah, Yamos is stuck at the entrance of the cave." Reed looked at the big Yamos who was struggling at the entrance of the corridor and laughed. "That's because they're growing and the hole is shrinking," said Ron. A group of people hacked and drilled, and finally came to the other end of the corridor, all of them were shattered and injured, but the scene in front of them made them ignore it.

"This place seems to have been completely transformed into a demonic realm." Reed exclaimed looking at the permeating fog. "Be careful, this mist is often hallucinogenic," Saitan said. In the mist, a woman's singing came faintly. "The song of the wraith? You will lose your mind if you hear it." Reed said, "Come on, Amos, sing two voices to fight." "Oh no! Then I would rather lose my mind." Saitan said painfully. They walked into the fog, and the fog was indeed magical, and the space in the fog seemed to be stretched infinitely.Everyone was walking next to each other. At some point, Kant suddenly realized that he was alone, and there was no response to his shouts. The thick fog seemed to cut off the sound.

Kant suddenly saw a shadow standing in the depths of the fog. "who is it?" There was no answer, the fog was thick and thin, the shadow seemed to exist, and it seemed to be an illusion, and when the fog was thinner, the shadow suddenly moved a lot closer. Kant ran to another place in fear, and suddenly tripped over something, and some slippery things immediately rolled up his arms. He was so frightened that he struggled violently, and bumped his head against the thick board wall. Crashing away, he fell into the darkness. Someone shouted in the dark: "Ah, it was discovered..." "You idiot, I said earlier that hiding here is worse than hiding on the roof." Kant heard the two voices: "Could it be, what if! You two hateful devils, hand over Yundi!" "Hush..." Could it be that he stepped forward and covered his mouth, "Can't you keep your voice down? Don't let her hear you." Seeing the tense look of the two devils, Kant was a little puzzled. In the distance, in the dark fog, there was a sound. But the two demons immediately ran to the other side as if they heard the roar of the fire-breathing dragon, and Kant was taken around twice and fell to the ground. Kant walked forward strangely. Through the long darkness, he saw two figures standing opposite each other, he even knew them both. The one on the left was Yundi he was looking for, and the one on the right was Baiya, the tempered demon envoy of Miss Jiao. "I didn't expect you to stop me a few years in advance, but you can't stop me, and you can't stop fate." Bai Ya held a purple crystal sword in his hand. "Baiya, you are the one who can't change your fate. The Demon King must be defeated. If you bring him out of the darkness, he will still go to that end." "But that's his own choice, isn't it?" "of course not!" "Could it be that you, as an enemy, know him better than I do?" "I've been by his side all these years!" Bai Ya sneered: "Then your mission is over now." She slowly raised her sword. "No!" Kant rushed out from the side, "Don't hurt her!" He turned his head and shouted at Yundi: "Run away!" Both girls looked at him in surprise, as if he was the real danger. "You..." Bai Ya pointed her finger in surprise, "Aren't you..." "Kant, go!" Yundi screamed. "Kant?" Bai Ya made a louder cry. Yundi suddenly realized that she said something wrong, raised her hand, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed between her fingers, and slammed at Baiya, knocking the magician who was caught off guard to the ground. Kant opened his mouth wide. He and Yundi have been together for so long and have talked about countless legends about magicians, but he never thought that this girl could be magic. Immediately after Yundi thought something, many ice thorns condensed out of thin air around Bai Ya, suspended in the air, the demon might be stabbed by the ice thorns if he moved.And Yundi rushed over, pulled Kant and ran away. Kant felt as if he was being pulled by a gust of wind, and his feet couldn't even touch the ground.He saw a halo rolling under his feet, it was Yundi who had cast acceleration magic on the two of them.Behind them, the ice thorns flew away, and Bai Ya swung the crystal sword to hit the ice thorns chasing her, ignoring the bloodstains they drew on her body, and chased after her. Yundi waved his hand back, and a wall of fire burned behind them.Ke Mo made Bai Ya cover herself with a cloak and rush out of the flames. But behind the fire wall, a shining magic door opened, and Bai Ya slammed into the door, and Yundi immediately closed the magic door. "Where did you send her?" Kant asked in surprise. "It's a pity that I don't have the magic power to create time gates. I can only send her somewhere far away, but she also has the power to open space gates, so she will come back immediately... oops..." Yundi only looked back while talking, but unexpectedly, an orange space door opened in front of her.She and Kant head-on into it. Yundi wanted to turn back immediately, but the space gate refused them. "Orange door? This door is irreversible, you can enter but not exit." Yundi shook his head and said helplessly. "This... what kind of place is this?" Kant looked around in shock. The sky is purple, the stars seem to be torn into long strands by some strong wind, and the high and distant mountains are continuous in the distance, glowing with blue light, like the back of a dragon.And the ground under the feet is blue-black, with no plants, only the scaly ice moss in the distance, shining like waves advancing in the sky. "This is a different space created by magic. It was created by great magicians in the past according to their own imaginations. It is for seclusion or practice, or to hide treasures. We can only hope that this is a hermitage, otherwise it will be You may encounter many terrible things created by those magicians." Yundi looked around, holding Kant tightly. "Can't we open another space door to go back?" "I opened one just now, and my magic power has not recovered, and it is not enough to open a new door in a short time." "Then how long do you need?" "For a while... just for a while..." "It's a pity that you won't have time anymore." The magician Baiya walked over from the ice moss in the distance. Behind her, there were two strange monsters flying with flapping wings. Their wings seemed to be translucent. , with a butterfly-like illusion, but with hair and claws. Kant could feel Yundi's tension, because she was holding his hand tighter and tighter. "Do you like this place?" Bai Ya looked at Kant and asked, "You brought me here back then. No, it should be said... many years later..." Kant didn't dare to look into her eyes, because there seemed to be an endless sea that would sink him deeply.She was dazed, as if she had forgotten to fight.Kant could feel sweat dripping from Yundi's hand holding him. The girl must be worried that he would be tempted by this language and go back to Baiya. "I don't understand what this witch is saying to me. It seems that there is another me in her heart. Maybe it's her own imagination, maybe it's her deliberate illusion." Kant thought, "Although I can feel her deep Deep sadness, but I can't let this invade my heart." Yundi grabbed Kant's hand tightly and blocked him behind her.Kant suddenly felt a little bit of happiness, although it was too much like an incredible dream, but in the dream, he could feel that the girl he loved cared about him so much. "No, Yundi, I should be the one protecting you..." Kant wanted to pull Yundi behind him, but Yundi resolutely pushed him away. Bai Ya sneered at Yundi: "Why, you want to protect the devil, do you have the qualifications?" "His destiny in the future may be the devil king, but now he has a choice!" "No..." Bai Ya shook her head with a sad expression, "There is no choice, none of us have a choice." The two phantom beasts rushed towards them with screams, Yundi raised his hand and hit them with lightning magic.And Bai Ya took the opportunity to jump over at an incredible speed, and inserted the sword into Yundi's body. "No!" Kant screamed, he hugged the fallen Yundi, and swung the wooden sword at Baiya.The wooden sword shattered on the head of the demon envoy, and Bai Ya didn't even dodge, but just stared at Kant blankly. "Why did you use the sword against me, master? You asked me to come to this era to help you." Bai Ya said sadly, because she was completely defenseless, her head was cut by the wooden sword, and blood flowed down her forehead. "What are you talking about? I don't know!" "Are you Kant?" "I...why are you looking for Kant?" "Because he will become my master - the future Demon King." "The devil?" Kant's eyes widened. "Yes... I come from the era of the future. At the last moment when the devil was defeated, he was not reconciled to such an ending, so let me go back to the past, help him in this era again, and change the fate that the devil will eventually fail. And you pregnant Yundi in the movie is your future enemy, she used magic to go back to an earlier time, and stayed by your side all the time, but she was not willing to kill you, this may be the power of fate." "This is impossible!" Bai Ya squatted down, moved very close to Kant, and stared at him with wide eyes.Kant could feel her breath blowing on his face, and the light blue nebula in her eyes was infinitely far-reaching, which could make those watching lost. "Eat it!" Bai Ya had something extra in his hand. "what?" "Heartworm. After it enters your stomach, if you tell a lie, it will eat part of your heart. When you lie for the third time, your heart will be completely eaten." Kant looked at the little black ball, and swallowed it into his stomach. "Okay, let me ask you, is your name really Kant?" "You said that I will be your master in the future, but you don't know what I look like?" "I've said it before, when I become your subordinate in the future, you will always wrap yourself in thick armor, and no one will know your true face." "Okay. I... am Kant." Bai Ya stared at Kant, and Kant felt that the gaze was going to burn him through. "Really...really? Are you okay?" Bai Ya raised her head and looked at Kant blankly, and Kant saw that the light in her eyes was blurred, as if she had fallen into the surface of pebbles. Suddenly Bai Ya hugged Kant: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kant stared blankly in the girl's arms, not knowing whether the hug was warm or tingling. Bai Ya raised her head: "It's all right now, we are together again, when we find the artifact that seals the power of the Demon King, no one in this world can defeat us, and we can start to conquer the world again..." "Wait..." Kant interrupted her, "Baiya, I don't want to conquer the world. I don't think he has anything to do with me... You don't mean that I am your master, you just listen My order?" Bai Ya froze there, Kant couldn't bear to look at her eyes, as if she sensed what was about to happen, and was just waiting for an answer. After a long time, Bai Ya said, "Yes..." "Then, if this is true, you save Yundi." Bai Ya stared at Kant in a daze: "If...she wants to kill me after waking up, will you agree?" Tears glistened in her eyes. Kant lowered his eyes: "I...I don't want to see anyone die." "This is war! It's about your future and the future of the whole world! I can die! But you can't be so confused!" Bai Ya shouted angrily. "Baiya... I don't understand how I became the devil king in the future you mentioned, but I don't want to be him at all. My dream is to become a heroic knight, do you understand? I... Even if that future It's true, and I don't want it to be fate..." Bai Ya stared blankly at Kant: "Do you want to know...the future you...at the moment when you are about to be defeated, before sending me into that gate of time, what is the last sentence you said to me?" "No..." Yundi in Kant's arms held Kant's hand tightly, "Leave her...Kant...immediately..." Kant felt that she was scratching his hand. Was the last sentence of the Demon King so terrible?It will be a prophecy that affects his soul and destiny. Kant took a long breath and looked at Bai Ya: "Don't tell me, I'll say it again, I'm not him. What I will be ten years from now is up to me. Bai Ya, if you really Treat me as the master, please disappear into my life like a dream, I hope that when I return to the real world, everything will be back to normal..." "Return to the original state..." Bai Ya shook her head numbly, "No...it will never be possible to return to the original state..." She looked at Kant again, like her last hope. "Stay here, Baiya, okay?" "Are you going to leave me here alone again? Lonely, alone?" The sadness in Bai Ya's eyes would make anyone feel sad. Kant was silent. Bai Ya also stopped talking, and Kant helped Yundi stand up slowly. Yundi gritted his teeth and used the last magic power to open a door that could be left.When they walked towards the door, Kant looked back at Bai Ya, she was still half-kneeling, her eyes staring blankly at the ground in front of her, like a statue. Kant and Yundi fell out of the light gate, and the light gate closed behind them. "Are you okay?" Kant helped Yundi up, her body was soft but cold, and Kant felt that all the heat in her body had been sucked away. "That's good, at least she can be warmer." Kant thought, without letting go. At some point, the surroundings gradually brightened up, and they turned out to be in the cold wilderness.
