Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 575 Memories
Zariel told her to take the sword and Lulu away from the battlefield together. As long as she could successfully take the sword away, she would be able to be resurrected one day according to that half of the original spark. It was for this reason that Yael and Lulu made up their minds to escape from the battlefield together with Zariel's sword.

At that time, the two had only one goal in mind, which was to complete this mission. Lulu used the Nine Rings to transform into a combat-ready celestial mammoth, and successfully rushed out of the main battlefield with Yael. But just as they were about to cross the portal back to the main material plane, a group of powerful demons suddenly attacked them.

That group of demons were subordinates of Yenogu, the King of the Gnolls. Lulu remembered them very clearly because all of them had hair all over their bodies and jackal-like heads. This strange mutation was only possessed by the demons under Yenogu. If it was just an ordinary group of demons, even if there were legendary demons among them, Lulu and Yael would have full confidence that they could defeat them, or at least successfully evacuate. But their luck was really bad. There was a reason why that group of demons suddenly appeared in the main battle area between the Hell Knights and the Devils.

When the demons suddenly blocked their way, Lulu was planning to just push them away regardless of the consequences. However, before she could take two more steps, her huge celestial mammoth form was severely damaged by a super giant demon that suddenly rushed out from the ground, and was blown away.

The demon that attacked them was Yeenoghu's pet, a twisted being at the demigod level. The thing looked like a giant jackal head, but had a bulging toad chin, and its mouth was full of densely packed, slender, sharp fangs. Its head, which occupied two-thirds of its entire body, was covered with messy scarlet hair and cysts. Its limbs were slender and small compared to its huge body, and looked very ridiculous. Its overall appearance was like a distorted and mutated beast-style mudskipper.

This abominable evil creature named Kalokotok suddenly rushed out from the ground, scattered Lulu and Yael, and then spit out countless demons from its bloody mouth. Its huge and twisted body also became an obstacle to Lulu and Yael.

They had no choice but to choose to fight it there briefly, and at the same time try to find an opportunity to rush into the portal at any time, but their efforts failed due to the obstruction of Kalokotok. The demon spewed out of the monster's mouth destroyed the teleportation array, which forced Lulu and Yael to choose another direction to escape.

But no matter how far they walked, the monster kept following them closely. During the long chase, Lulu was the first to run out of strength and could not maintain the strength to change her shape. She turned back into her original form of Holy Flying Elephant which did not have much combat power. Without Lulu's celestial mammoth form to help them travel, they also lost most of their mobility and were soon caught up by Carlokotok.

Not only could that twisted evil creature freely burrow underground and move quickly, but even when it returned to the ground it could instantly jump across a long distance. Lulu and the others were caught up in this way, and they saw with their own eyes that Carlokotok suddenly jumped out from the ground, flew a long distance in the sky, and landed directly in front of them.

This forced them to fight in this unfavorable situation, but they were all too exhausted by then, and Lulu had almost completely lost her fighting ability. In order to keep Lulu alive, Yael chose to hold Zariel's sword and fight Kalokotok alone, while Lulu, who had lost her fighting ability, could only escape.

At the last second when she was about to escape from danger, Lulu looked back, only to see Yael holding the Sword of Zariel and confronting Kalokotok. The blue holy light emanating from the sword was extremely dazzling, but it was swallowed by Kalokotok's huge mouth of the abyss as soon as it turned around.

Having failed to protect Zariel's sword and having witnessed the death of her friend, Lulu became confused and didn't know what to do. She just instinctively walked along the tributaries of the Styx. In her last conscious memory, Lulu only remembered that she seemed to have met a human dressed as a merchant. He called himself Mahadi, a hell merchant from the outer plane, who specialized in selling rare things in hell to the devil, such as clean water, food, fine wine from other worlds, or even more unimaginable enjoyment.

Lulu had no interest in this at first, but Mahathir was so eloquent that he deceived Lulu with clever words, comforted her, and said that he was her friend, but the moment she relaxed her caution, he poured a bottle of water of the Styx directly on her face.

The river water eroded her memory and made her forget everything she had experienced before. Only the instincts of the Holy Flying Elephants remained. After she lost her memory, Mahadi deceived Lulu and wanted to sell her at a high price. But in the process, Mahadi accidentally learned about Lulu's life experience and knew that she was once Zariel's mount, and at that time Zariel had become the new Grand Duke of Hell.

In order to please Zariel, Mahathir gave her Lulu, who had lost her memory at that time. Although Lulu had lost her memory at that time, she still remembers the scene when she first met Zariel and her struggling expression.

At that time, Lulu didn't know what that expression meant. After all, she had lost her memory at that time. But now, looking back, Lulu has understood what Zariel's expression meant.

She was struggling with the fact that after she fell into the status of the Devil Archduke, Zariel should have executed her, a celestial being, personally, but she did not do so. Instead, she was locked up in a cell in the floating wall, and was released again after just a few days.

Although Lulu had lost her memory at that time and Zariel's appearance had changed a lot and turned into a real devil, when she was released from the cell, she still instinctively felt a sense of intimacy with Zariel. She instinctively ignored the terrifying aura on Zariel and wanted to fly over to say hello.

But before she could get close to Zariel, Lulu's expression of excitement and joy froze, and her consciousness fell into darkness in an instant. Her body was covered and sealed by a red crystal. The only memory left was Zariel's struggling eyes.
