Chapter 14 Chapter Eleven Underground

The underground river was rushing, it was cold and dark here, Kant and Baiya stood by the river. "Darkness still makes people feel at ease. There are always countless eyes watching you in the light, and here, there is only the sound of eternal water flow. You listen quietly until the age of time." Baiya stands by the river, she is incomparably harmonious with the darkness , as if this is her destination, "Maybe one day I will die in this underground river, and I don't need anyone to know my departure." Kant didn't understand why this girl who bluffed in the light would be so sentimental in the dark, he just kept tripping over the rocks under his feet. "What did you bring me into this underground cave?"

"You should know the ancient temple war recorded in the "Epic of Ruo Xinghan". That war once divided the entire Ruo Xinghan continent into two, and King Fan Kedel and his knights reunited it with huge sacrifices. , It was a magnificent war. The cause of it was the leader of the demons - the demon king Kaqiyunde who possesses the power of darkness and earth fire. He wanted to lead the demons back to the sun on the ground through the huge passage under the temple. After 300 years of war, the knights finally fought against the devil in the ruins of the Jinx Temple, the exit of the devil world. At the last moment, the paladins used the armor of the night paladin who had died in battle as a container, and used the "seal" spell of the great mage Uluka to inhale the soul of the demon king into the armor, and opened the "devil god" that had been open for three hundred years. The Eye was finally closed. However, due to the last curse of the Demon King, when the magic power of the God of Balance was lifted and the continents overlapped, the impact of the two continents brought about a huge earthquake and tsunami. Mountains and volcanoes rose up at the impact The huge rock was sprayed thousands of miles into the sky, and then fell down with fire, almost no one survived, and the tumbling of the earth's crust buried everything deep underground, including the armor that sealed the demon king."

"This history has been featured in countless novels and dramas. But, what does this have to do with my future self?" "He was...in fact, now, he got the armor that seals the power of the demon king here...in this river." "But why did he come to this underground river back then? Almost no one can find it without magic." "He didn't say...it's time to ask you," Bai Ya said, "Isn't he you? Isn't that time and now?" "But now, a girl brought me here and forced me to become the devil king." "No one can force you to become the Demon King." A voice suddenly said in the darkness, "This power should not be obtained by you. The power of the Demon King will always belong to the Demon Race! It is not a ridiculous Siang."

"Who is it!" Bai Ya pulled out the crystal sword. Countless shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness, as if a large army had surrounded them long ago. "I brought the Flame Army from the dungeon, and I have been following you secretly for a long time. Where is the paladin's equipment that seals up the demon king? Is it in this river?" In the darkness, the voice of the demon man Ruo came. Bai Ya sneered: "You summoned the Hellfire Army of the Demon Army? Unfortunately, the one who gets this power can only be Kant, because it is destined. You are the Demon Race, but you want to prevent the resurrection of the Demon King?"

"The devil can only be resurrected under the auspices of the high priest of the dead!" If shouted. "You actually believed such deceitful nonsense. Why did the demons obey the orders of the undead?" "When the Demon King was away, it was the High Priest of the Undead who used his power to protect the dungeon." "So he also became the master of the dungeon, right? Would he want the demon king to be resurrected to take his place? What is the real purpose of him asking you to bring back the container that seals the demon king's soul? Think about it with your pig heads... Ah, I'm sorry , I am also a demon, I shouldn't scold myself like this... But you are really stupid!"

"Will what she said be true..." the voice in the darkness asked timidly. "Damn it!" Ruo shouted, "We are warriors trained by the high priest, and we will not be provoked by you. Even if you are a demon, your behavior has already become a traitor!" Countless black figures in the darkness suddenly spread their wings and flew towards them. "Bat spirit?" Bai Ya screamed, perhaps no one knew the demons better than her, "Go! Find that thing!" She kicked Kant into the water. Kant heard the laughter of countless banshees in the water, like many hands reaching out and dragging him into the very dark heart of the river.

Kant started to yell, water poured into his mouth, a string of bubbles came out, he began to struggle, and the banshee who held him back scattered away in shock. Suddenly his foot stepped on the sandy soil at the bottom of the water, and he opened his eyes. There is no rapid current here, and it is a very quiet and dark world. But his eyes could still see something clearly. The undercurrent raised dust and mist, and the twists and turns of the water shook the tiny light. In a haze, he saw a person sitting on a rock at the bottom of the water and meditating. The nixie swam like fish made of countless tiny air bubbles, circled the shadow, stroked him, and left.

Kant walked over curiously. As he approached, he saw clearly. It wasn't a person, but just a suit of armor, a knight's armor from helmet to boots.The strange thing is that this armor actually looks like a person holding his jaw in meditation.At its feet, there is also a sword. Kant moved his head closer to look into the helmet. He seemed to hear heavy and long breathing, like the tide of the sea. Kant climbed onto the bank. There were no demons here, and the sound of fighting could not be heard. The river had washed him far away.He also brought up the armor he had found from the bottom of the river.They are very heavy and black, with a layer of river mud attached to them, but when you wipe them with your fingers, they immediately reveal a bright luster.

Looks like a nice set of knight armor. But what use is this to a person whose heart is ashamed?Riches can only be a disaster to a weak man. Suddenly a voice from behind said coldly: "You finally found it, very good." A few figures stood behind him at some point.Kant turned his head, and he saw the stinky-faced knight Smaragu, behind him were Yundi, Ron, Reed, Xitan, Amos from the downcast mercenary group, and the black swordsman Duris and Soldiers of Smaragu. "It? What is it?" Kant asked. "Not surprisingly, this is the ancient jihad equipment, which seals the soul and power of the demon king during the temple war. If you wear this armor, you will gain this dark power, and at the same time lose your soul and become a new demon king."

"Smaragu? Why are you here? How do you know these things?" "Because of the female mage from the future ten years later, she told me everything. We are looking for you everywhere. And my sensory crystal ball can tell me where the dark power is! But we are lucky, God gave us in time Guidance. Now, all this will be stopped!" Smaragu strode forward, Kant stepped back, but fell to the ground.Smaragu raised his hands and stabbed down with the sword. Kant reached out and grabbed the blade. He didn't feel the pain, because he had no feeling for a long time. "Why? I haven't done anything wrong!" Kant yelled in despair.

"Wait a minute!" Yundi shouted, "We don't need to kill him, we just need to destroy the equipment that seals the dark soul." Smaragu looked back at Yundi, and suddenly sneered. "Innocent little girl, if the powerful dark will in this can be destroyed, those great knights and mages did it hundreds of years ago, why do you think they use a set of holy knight's sacred armor to seal the demon king's body?" soul?" "But..." Duris said, "That can't kill him before he becomes evil, and he hasn't done any evil now!" "But he will become the devil king. This is the future you told us yourself, isn't it? If you don't kill him now, then who will be responsible for what happened?" Kant saw in despair, Yundi fell silent.Everyone was watching indifferently, and Smaragu raised his sword again with a sneer. But Kant's head did not fall off, a flying stone hit Smaragu, and he screamed loudly.Bai Ya appeared behind him. "Kill the future demon king? You are not qualified! He will not die under the sword of an inferior knight like you." "Is this the sorcerer from the future?" Smara turned to his soldiers, "It's time, pick up your weapons and kill her!" With a sneer, Bai Ya first raised his sword and rushed towards the crowd hunting Kant.But Kant saw blood oozing from her waist, she had been injured in the previous battle with the demons. This was a war of disparity in strength. Bai Ya stood like a deer with a wounded leg in the pack of hounds. She was surrounded from all sides, swaying her sword from left to right. "Kant! Put on that armor, put on it, and no one will be able to defeat you!" she shouted anxiously with all her strength. Smaragu and some soldiers wanted to turn around and walk towards Kant, but Bai Ya rushed towards them crazily, forcing them to turn around and fight. Kant looked at the helmet in his hand. It was black and heavy. It had been buried in the river mud for too long, so that its former brilliance was lost. Is that terrible dark will inside?The power to destroy the world is waiting to explode? "No..." Kant thought, "I can't do this... I can't become a demon king hated by people, even... be killed by them. I can't prove to them that I am the source of disaster." "Kant, what are you waiting for?" Bai Ya's voice had become desperate, as swords stabbed at her from all sides, she was making the last desperate effort.The soldiers around were waiting for the opportunity to insert their swords into her body. "Why... Bai Ya, why me? Why do you want me to become the devil?" Kant stared at the armor, suddenly wishing that he had never been in this world. At that moment, he could hear the sound of Baiya's blood dripping on the ground, but he knew that he couldn't do anything, he didn't have the strength to put this helmet on his head, he couldn't turn into another terrible demon, even if that Power can go and save the girl. He wanted to tell Bai Ya to leave quickly, but seeing her eyes, Kant understood that she would not leave, she would rather die here, why?That cold and evil self in the future, what power does such a person have to give up his life? And Yundi, Dulis and the Luoluo Mercenary Group have never joined the battle, or they feel that it is unfair for so many people to besiege a woman, even at the critical moment of deciding whether the darkness will be reborn.Or they have their own ideas in their hearts, and they don't believe that the future will be changed so easily.Yundi hesitated, and finally raised his hand slowly. The electric light hit Bai Ya, she bounced out with a scream, and fell down on the river beach.Soldiers surrounded him. "Wait a minute!" The black-clothed swordsman Duris suddenly rushed forward, blocking the soldiers, "It's unwise to kill her now." "Damn it, you guy in black." Smaragu couldn't help cursing, "Last time you also came here to rescue that female mage from my sword. Is it your habit to save beautiful women?" "It turns out I'm always right." "But this time you will give the dark rebirth a chance. Get out of the way!" Smaragu suddenly thought of something, turned around, and strode towards Kant. "Great Lord Demon King! What are you still doing? Use your terrifying power to destroy us! Hahahaha... You are trembling like a dying rabbit. The end has come! God has given me a great mission , the hero who finally destroys the hope of the demons is me, Cosi Smaragu!" He raised his sword.And Kant was silent. But there was a voice: "Are you going to say it again?" Suddenly, in the darkness, countless red eyes appeared. "Who said just now that you want to be a hero who defeats the demons?" A voice laughed loudly. "It's that poor long-haired hound!" The voices of tens of thousands of people echoed together, and a whole army had already appeared on both sides of the river. "My God, the demon army has come!" The soldiers shouted in panic. "Hmph," Smaragu still raised his sword, although his voice was trembling, "you can't change your fate, no one can stop my sword from beheading his head in time." "No one wants to stop you. We only obey the devil's call, but that guy is not. The devil's soul has not entered his body, and he is just a poor undead." The voice laughed. "Yes, we won't leave anything alive, just take the paladin armor that seals the soul of the devil back to the high priest of the dead. We will use the body of the devil himself in the catacomb mountain to complete the resurrection." "Kant, only you can save us now." Bai Ya shouted, "Put on that helmet and inherit the power of the Demon King, and this army will obey your command." Kant stared at the helmet in his hand with wide eyes. There seemed to be an abyss hidden in it, and a loud voice in the abyss was calling him.But he knew that the helmet was as heavy as a mountain, and he would never be able to lift it up. Smaragu suddenly swung his sword, but an arrow flew towards him and hit him, and he screamed and fell to the ground. There was the sound of cracking footsteps in the darkness, and the demon army surrounded them again. The Majin Is and What If came out of the darkness. "Okay, this is finally the end of a demon race's victory." "Victory?" Bai Ya sneered, "Do you think the High Priest of the Undead really wants the Demon King to be resurrected to replace him as the guardian of the dungeon?" "The high priest of the undead has been guarding the dark kingdom with his power. If he can't believe it, who else can he believe?" "If you really want to resurrect the Demon King, then it's now, don't have long nights and dreams. Don't forget that we used to always collapse at the last moment when we were about to win." "She seems to make some sense?" Could it be said to Ruo, "Anyway, the devil's soul can be resurrected with only one body, so why do we have to bring this paladin equipment back to the dungeon?" "No!" The voice behind them shouted, "The order of the high priest cannot be disobeyed. The ritual of resurrecting the devil king can only be carried out after returning to the dungeon!" But did it come to Kant: "Now I give you a choice, put on the helmet and become the devil king, or be killed by us here." "Why me?" Kant stared blankly at the ground, then suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Why me? Can't any of you wear this helmet and inherit the power and soul of the Demon King!" "No, of course it's not the same. The soul of the devil in the helmet will be powerful enough to swallow all other wills in the same body, so after you put on the helmet, your soul will be swallowed soon, and the person who stands up again is the devil , instead of you. He will have the memory and personality of the Demon King, and you will disappear forever. Therefore, it would be great if a dead soul donated his body..." "In other words, if I put on the helmet, I will lose myself forever..." "It's up to you... to become the Demon Lord, or to be killed." If you raise your sword up. "No!" Yundi yelled, "Throw away that helmet!" "Kill that woman first!" If he pointed back, the demon soldiers raised their knives and stabbed Yundi. "Wait!" Kant yelled, "Don't kill her... Well, it's just becoming a devil and losing yourself, it's not a big deal, just do as you wish." He slowly raised the helmet. Suddenly a person rushed over, it was Bai Ya, she kicked the helmet in Kant's hand, and it drew an arc in the air and fell into the dark underground river.And the arrow of the magic army also shot, piercing Bai Ya's back. Kant's eyes widened in shock, not knowing why Bai Ya, who had always wanted him to become the Demon King, suddenly stopped him desperately. "Go and get the helmet!" If shouted.The soldiers of the magic army jumped into the water one after another. And Bai Ya fell into Kant's arms, blood kept coughing up from her mouth. "Baiya, why..." "Because... I finally understand one thing... I always wanted you to be the devil king, I thought it was your destiny, but I suddenly understood one thing..." Bai Ya stuffed something into Kant's hand: "Take it, this is the last scroll of God, only it can open the door of time. Now, only it can save you..." When Kant touched the divine scroll, Bai Ya recited a spell, and a red flame door appeared in the space. "Yundi!" Bai Yaqiang shouted, "What are you waiting for? If you miss it, you will never have the chance to go back to the future!" Yundi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what to do.With a wave of her hand, a magical wall of fire rose high all around.At the moment when the magic army was blocked, she jumped to Kant's side, pulled him up and rushed into the red door. Then the red door closed behind them.
