Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 113: Devil's Fall, Far Light (Both chapters released together)
The blood-colored carriage opened its curtains, and the demon-possessed prince slowly walked out.

He looked like a completely normal, even handsome prince of a great country, without any distortion in his appearance.

He was wearing a court dress with black and red patterns, with exquisite decorations and embroidery.

His face had an unhealthy paleness.

Only in the deep eye sockets was there a strange, flickering red light.

"Why is it you...Invi?"

The demon-possessed prince walked towards the old soldier not far away at a leisurely pace.

Each of his steps had the same gap, no more, no less, as if it had been precisely measured.

"The aura of the Chosen One shouldn't be you—where has the cloak that concealed the divine grace and evaded pursuit gone?"

The demon-possessed prince's voice did not sound crazy.

Instead, there is a strange calmness in the voice, but this kind of voice has a strange influence, making all listeners feel inexplicably irritated.

"Your Highness, I bet you must be tired after chasing me for such a long distance."

Veteran Invi's eyes also flashed with a faint purple-red light. He slowly bowed and drew the sword from his waist. "I'm here... to ask you to rest here in peace!"

But the demon prince remained unhurried.

Perhaps he had lost his human emotions long ago and did not take these threatening words seriously.

"Yinwei, that was your last bullet. I know, and you know, that you can't kill me. You who have betrayed Shenze are still just a mortal—

But why did you change your mind today?"

The demon-possessed prince drew ever closer to the veteran soldier, Invi. A questioning look flickered in his eyes, "Let me think... Have you finally figured it out and begun to yearn for the wild dance feast at the end of bliss?"

The Wild Dancing Prince looked at the old soldier holding his sword across his body, noticing the patterns on the sword, but he showed no fear at all and continued to speak to himself.

The contempt is exposed:
"What is stolen must be returned. Believers who have drunk the supreme nectar will eventually accept the invitation to the dance..."

The demon-possessed prince said this, inserting his hand into his collar. Countless blood threads, writhing like worms, gushed out of his chest.

The blood threads intertwined and combined to form a bloody invitation.

The patterns on it twist, change, and dance wildly, making all viewers dizzy.

"Invi, throw away your useless sword. Take this. You and your partner still have a chance to gain forgiveness, enter the ball, and fill the twelfth vacancy..."

The demon-possessed prince spoke confidently.

In his opinion, an ordinary person, no matter what means he uses.

It's impossible to hurt yourself!
But what he didn't see was that behind him, next to the blood-red carriage, although there was nothing there, the black and red curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted up by an invisible hand!
The sunlight shines into the dark carriage.

Inside was a princess dressed in gorgeous clothes and a velvet white dance dress. The princess was also pale all over, without a trace of blood.

Only in his eyes was there a bloody, empty, strange light.

Seeing the carriage curtain being lifted, the princess' pupils shrank slightly. She was about to do something, but the next moment, invisible hands pressed her down on the carriage seat!
"Your Highness, I am sorry for the inconvenience."

The voice of veteran Invi rang out in the air, and the next moment, the sound of a sword being unsheathed suddenly rang out!
A cold light flashed from the air, and a long sword of Bo Ren appeared out of thin air and pierced into the princess' chest!
In an instant, blood dyed the princess's dance dress red!
The next second, the princess's entire body began to twitch abnormally rapidly. Beneath her pale skin, it was as if countless insects were crawling. Immediately afterwards, her skin broke apart, and countless abnormal limbs that looked like muscles began to rapidly proliferate.

Her mouth opened wide, and her human form began to crumble.

A sharp howl that was not like that of a human came from the throat!
"Princess, please stop calling me that—it's impolite."

The veteran's voice spoke meticulously, as if he really meant it.

Hidden under the invisibility cloak, his eyes began to glow red at the cries of the crazy princess.

But he bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suppressed the restlessness of his body.

The movements of his hands became faster and faster.

The sword that pierced the princess's chest slashed in a circle, and with the engraved sword, it cut a wound. The old soldier reached in, grasped it tightly, tore it apart, and took out a deep red, still struggling and beating flesh.

That's a heart.

With his other hand, the veteran took out a golden wine glass from under his invisibility cloak. The body of the wine glass was engraved with mysterious runes, with a hint of ancient charm.

He placed the princess's heart in it.

Then, he took out a piece of paper covered with runes and sealed the mouth of the cup.

"It's time to rest, Your Highness. Consider this... a request from the old king."

A hint of sadness flashed in the veteran's eyes.

The sword in his hand, as well as his breath, quickly disappeared into the air again, taking with it the golden wine cup that sealed the princess's heart.

As he began to assassinate the princess, the prince standing in front of the Poro-disguised veteran suddenly changed his expression.

"what have you done--"

His face suddenly collapsed in an uncontrollable state, with his limbs twisting and turning.

He turned around and saw the old soldier thrust his sword into his dance partner's chest from the air!

"Wait, you're the—asshole!"

The old soldier's assassination of the princess seemed to have affected the possessed prince at the same time. His calm expression was instantly shattered, along with his luxurious court dress!

The body and the dress collapsed together, turning into countless bloody dancing limbs!

Just like...

Just like the prince that Poro had met in the dwarf cave before.

He was just about to rush towards the invisible veteran in front of the carriage, but at this moment, countless green and red vines broke out from the ground and entangled the prince's dancing body.

At the same time, the demonic explosion from the Poro hit the prince's torso!
After possessing the [Spiral Beacon: Sage], Poro's speed and accuracy in mastering magic have been greatly improved.

The most common magic explosion can be cast simultaneously with the spells of the Blue and Red Witches.

The range of the magic explosion was compressed under the Poro's gradually increasing control, like an invisible knife, piercing into the torso of the Demon Prince!
In an instant, a gap appeared out of thin air in the prince's disordered body.

But then, it gathers and heals like water!
However, due to Poro's delay, the figure of veteran Invi has completely disappeared into thin air, along with the princess's heart!
"How dare you... do such a thing? You will all die today if I take back the Shenze you stole!"

The prince's voice, filled with fury, emanated from the monster, layer upon layer, like countless voices speaking at once!
He still retained half of his human face, and his red eyes turned rapidly.

He stared at the only Poro still on the field.

Poro had changed back into wolf form in order to cast a spell. The moment Prince Boren spoke, he felt that he could no longer suppress the energy of the "Wild Dancer" in his body.

And the moment the prince's blood-red pupils looked over.

Poro's whole body froze, and the magic he was performing was interrupted instantly!
He felt that his soul inside his body could no longer suppress the bloody energy!

Before, this crimson energy, although belonging to the Wild Dancer, would be controlled by it within the Poro's body.

But now, this energy, which originally did not belong to the Poro, began to be deprived and extracted by the prince!
It's like a sharp knife...penetrating into the bone marrow!

Severe pain surged from every nerve in the body!
If it weren't for the special nature of Poro's soul, he would have been deprived of consciousness by this unbearable pain!

"Die like this, you who disobey, dance wildly and die, taking your ignorant soul with you!"

The Demon Prince roared, and countless disordered limbs froze at the same time, pointing at the Poro!

first--

Poro felt that his control over his body was being eroded by the power from the "Wild Dancer"!

But the next moment, the huge shaking of the ground interrupted the prince's control!

The prince's bloodshot eyes looked towards the source of the sound in horror.

A huge shadow that had been hiding for a long time stood up from the forest on the side of the road, and then strode forward!

The trees along the way were smashed into pieces.

The ground shattered under the wall-like body!
It was a giant made up of white bones!
"Boom - boom -"

The giant crossed a distance of dozens of meters in one step and rushed to the front of the Demon Prince. Then, it raised its huge bone fist, and with blood-colored lines flashing all over its body, it smashed down with a bang!
"Boom!"

The air made a sharp explosion!
The next moment, the giant bone fist smashed heavily on the body of the demonized prince at a speed that was difficult to see!
The prince's bloody, twisted figure instantly changed shape and was thrown to the side.

But then, in the smoke and dust, the skeleton giant's arms gradually stopped moving.

The Poro was surprised to see that the prince's collapsed and deformed arm gushed out a stream of blood, which blocked the giant's fist, and countless twitching feet plowed deep grooves in the ground.

The demon-possessed prince uttered a hoarse, overlapping sound:
"What... is this thing? No flesh, no veins, it's so ugly!"

"Yeah, but there are some uglier ones now, I won't tell you who they are."

Poro curled his lips and said.

As soon as the demon prince's attention was diverted, he left the prince's sight, and the orange-red spherical crystal in his mouth flashed again under the control of Poro.

The ground shook, and the second giant skeleton guard also walked out of the forest.

"boom!"

The giant's foot, carrying astonishing power, stepped down towards the prince!
In just a moment, the deformed prince emitting a crazy red light was squeezed deep into the ground!
But just when Poro breathed a sigh of relief, the prince's voice rang out again.

"Even this much strength can't kill me. How can I dance without muscles?"

Immediately afterwards, the prince's body became like liquid, and all his flesh and blood were strangely twisted. He actually cut off a part of his body and crawled out from under the attack of the two giants!
Afterwards, the prince's broken flesh and blood began to spread to the legs of the skeleton giant who was still standing there!

Red flesh covered the bones, extending towards the joints...

Poro discovered that the Skeleton Guard's legs, covered in flesh and blood, began to lose control -

"Crack!"

The legs of the Giant Skeleton Guard began to twist and break abnormally, with countless broken bones protruding from the muscles and tendons.

The flesh and blood that had separated from the prince twitched wildly, like liquid, and were not affected by the giant's power.

The Poro controlled the giant's arm, trying to pull out the tarsal maggot, but the flesh and blood of the demon prince spread to the hand bones of the giant skeleton guard instead.

"How can the power of mortals compare to the grace of God?"

The remaining flesh and blood of the demonized prince began to reorganize, once again forming a half-human, half-deformed monster. The half of his human face was still looking at the giant in front of him that was gradually being destroyed by him.

The red light on the surface of the body slightly retracted—

But at this moment, a long sword shining with bright starlight flashed out from behind the giant's corpse lying on the ground!

Lake's red cloak separated light and dark shadows under the starlight.

The sharp sword edge instantly pierced through somewhere in the Demon Prince's body!

"Again—"

The Demon Prince had just spoken disdainfully, but he realized something was wrong this time. "You, what did you do? How could a mortal…"

He wanted to say something else, but the brilliance of Lexing's killing sword suddenly became sharp again.

The twisted mass of flesh and blood began to wither and shrivel rapidly.

The prince's voice turned into a fading mumble.

Countless tiny blood-red rays of light poured out from the wound on the prince, but were wiped out by the starlight in the sky.

Finally, the frantic dancing of the limbs finally stopped.

They dried up and shrank rapidly, finally turning into a foul-smelling slurry.

……

"Polo, are you okay?"

After confirming that the Demon Prince was dead, Lake ran to the Poro's side, and the old soldier also appeared beside him. There was concern in their eyes.

"Huh... I'm fine, but the energy of the wild dancer seems to have changed again."

The Poro coughed. After the Demon Prince died, it could sense out of thin air that the aura of the "Mad Dancer" in its body had undergone another qualitative change.

It becomes thicker, stronger, and more agitated.

The only good news is that after the death of the Demon Prince, the ownership of these energies temporarily fell into the hands of the Poro again.

This allowed his soul to suppress them once again.

"It's almost done, I just feel—"

Poro stood up, and the red light in the depths of his pupils flickered, as if indicating a certain direction. "I have a vague sense of direction. It should be... that direction?"

The Poro raised his forearm and pointed into the distance.

The old soldier standing by suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene.

"That's where the 'Dancing Wild' is."

Veteran Invi said, "That's also where Dansi and I came from."

The veteran opened his mouth when he said this, but fell silent.

It seems like I haven’t figured out how to say it yet.

Seeing this, Lake and Poro did not ask any further questions.

The slime on the Lex Star Killer Sword slid off after the sword was pulled out. Even without the blessing of starlight, it was still a sharp sword.

It is so smooth that even dust has difficulty sticking to it.

After the Demon Prince died, the starlight on the surface of the Star Killing Sword disappeared again, leaving only a mirror-like appearance.

Lake gently stroked the smooth blade of the Star Killer Sword, then put it back into the scabbard.

"Anyway, now, at least in the short term, there won't be any more guys like this following me!"

"Yeah, that's good news."

The Poro looked at the two giant skeleton guards still standing on the flat ground. One of them lost half of its leg under the attack of the Demon Prince and lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Poro felt a little pain in his body.

"Forget it, I can just take the big one with me this time, and leave the other one in the capital of Boren."

He thought about it for a while, and a thought came to his mind.

The Giant Guard, which was still intact, stood up and walked towards the forest beside the road. Its figure disappeared, and only the trembling of the ground in the distance still showed its existence.

After the death of the Demon Prince, those who were controlled by the dancing epidemic fainted due to exhaustion.

The Poros dragged the fainted passers-by to the shade of a tree nearby. Some of them were not seriously injured and should wake up soon.

The Poro searched for the carriage in which the possessed prince had arrived.

The mixed red lines on it had begun to crack, as if some kind of energy that had been overflowing within it had suddenly disappeared, and it began to become more fragile and rotten than ordinary wood.

Nothing.

This prince who has fallen into the devil may no longer need the materials for human survival.

The body of the princess, whose heart had been cut out by the old soldier, was still leaning against the back of the chair, without any vitality, only in a horrifying and weird posture.

"This princess looks quite different from the demon-possessed prince, doesn't she?"

The Poro looked at the princess. Unlike the prince, only part of her body was deformed. After death, the fleshy part that remained largely human did not wither like the demon-possessed prince.

"Yes, the threat posed by these princesses themselves is not as great as that posed by the demon princes. Once upon a time, they were just ordinary people cursed."

Veteran Invi shook his head, staring at the distinctive kingdom emblem on the princess' body. "But now, under the watchful eyes of the 'mad dancers,' they have become the 'dance partners' of these Dancing Plague Princes."

The old soldier was silent for a moment, then continued, "Danse was once the 'dance partner' of a possessed prince—the prince who died in the forest."

"So, these princesses can actually be saved?"

Poro was stunned for a moment.

"No, there's no hope."

Veteran Invi explained, "Danse's heart is always with me, so I can save her, but the other princesses' hearts are with the demon prince—"

If they hadn't died, these princes would have been resurrected from the dead forever!"

Poro opened his mouth, and Lake beside him was also a little confused.

But at least now, this prince with a lot of blood on his hands has died here.

"Let's go, or Dansi won't be able to wait any longer."

Poro said as they walked towards where the carriage was hidden.

When passing by the sticky and filthy corpse of the Demon Prince, Poro seemed to suddenly sense something. He hesitated for a moment, walked forward, and dug something out of the corpse.

Wipe off any slime and residue.

It was the invitation letter from the Demon Prince.

The patterns on it did not lose their energy. Instead, in the Poro's hand, they once again glowed with the evil glow of a living thing.

Poro thought about it and put the envelope away.

It was noon, the day was still long, and the road ahead stretched to the end of the horizon.

There are many stations to stop at, but the destination is still vague and shrouded in clouds and mist.

……

After the figures of Poro and others disappeared into the forest.

A little further away, at the top of an old tree in the forest.

The cracked telescope trembled slightly.

The owner of the telescope is a young hunter - the sharpshooter who was once highly regarded in the city of Aim.

There were several long and narrow scars on his face, one of his eyes was blind, and there was nothing under his left arm except an empty sleeve.

Behind him, he still carried that special air rifle.

"So that's... the Savior Saint who killed the twelve giants and saved the Kingdom of Boren? As expected, she looks exactly like the statue."

The young hunter's voice trembled, his eyes filled with unparalleled admiration and envy, "The beautiful Star-Slaying Sword... and such a tall colossus."

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"In the future, I must...be like her. Only then can I be a true hero!"
