Understand humans!

There was no way of escaping.

Chapter 54: Locked Up Forever

When Volame returned, the purple-haired demon was already motionless.

Volame held a staff in his right hand and grasped the heads of two demons in his left hand. Volame tied the hair on the heads into bundles and held them like a bunch of fruits.

Hissing and rustling——

The Giant Sword Demon and the Star Disk Demon died with their eyes open, revealing a look of disbelief before death. Wisps of black smoke spread out from the broken necks of the two demons.

Only when most of the heads of the Giant Sword Demon and the Star Disc Demon turned into ashes did Volame put them down and kick them away.

"This time, he's definitely dead."

The magic of the demons is varied and all kinds of magic that are considered miracles in the human magic system can be seen everywhere among the demons. Years of experience in fighting against demons have made Volame develop the habit of watching the demons reduced to ashes before he can feel at ease.

Volame walked up to the purple-haired demon, and a guard on the side came over and reported to Volame.

"We have confirmed that this demon has no ability to resist, but she is still breathing and has not bled, so she should be able to live for a while. If you have anything you want to ask her, you can ask."

"Didn't I tell you? Kill the demons wherever you see them. Don't hesitate. Don't show mercy. Demons won't tell the truth even before they die. All the information they give is false. I know this very well."

Volame lost her temper for once. These soldiers were not all her personal guards. Some were sent by the kingdom to assist her. Perhaps these soldiers were instructed by the generals behind them to follow her and get information about the demon army from the defeated demons.

But the demons are considered a non-human species because they are completely different from humans. They have no social characteristics, no military organization, everything is commanded by the strong individual pressure of the demons, and their actions are entirely based on free will, without any discipline.

An individual demon will not know the movements of other demons. Even if they do, they will not tell the truth, but instead tell misleading lies.

If humans listen to it, it will cause great losses.

Volame had long ago experienced the demons' tendency to lie, from the mouth of a purple-haired demon.

"Yes, my lord."

"Get out of the way, I'll finish her off myself."

The guards made room, but the surrounding spearmen still held their spears tightly, pinning the purple-haired demon to the ground, fearing that she would counterattack before dying and injure Volame.

Volame walked up to the purple-haired demon and lifted her chin on her tiptoes to look at her.

Uh, I was right before. This is the demon who strangled me and then let me go ten years ago to humiliate me.

However, ten years have passed, and the anger that Volame had at the time had long been worn away by time. Seeing the purple-haired demon who used to be so arrogant and domineering now crawling in front of him with blood all over his head and scars, Volame did not feel happy.

Just a numb calm.

Too much time has passed. She is already 32 years old, a stable adult among humans. How could she still be as restless as the little girl she was before and get upset by one or two things?

The human mind grows very fast, unlike demons and elves. Things that touched their minds ten years ago will no longer matter to them ten years later.

This is why human growth is superior to that of the immortal species.

However... not everything fades with age. There is one thing that Volame still cares about - the teacher Aura who saved her twice when she was a child and taught her magic. Volame has not found her yet.

The purple-haired demon in front of him might know some information about Aura, but Volame didn't want to ask. Volame had been deceived by the demons too many times and hurt each other too many times. All he had left towards the demons was hatred and the obsession to kill them all.

"Take off your head too, and see if you can still live." Volame stretched out his hand, touched the top of Aura's head, and was about to activate the cutting magic.

buzz-

As if she felt being touched, Aura, who had been silent, suddenly gasped again. Her pair of purple bloodshot eyes opened, and what caught her eyes was Volame's Roman-style cross-tied shoes.

"Flame..." Aura stretched out his free left hand and begged, grabbing Flame's ankle.

Ah, it turns out that she still remembers my name. I thought I was just an insignificant one among the countless people she toyed with.

Shouting my name, are you begging for mercy again?

Volame jokingly raised his foot and stepped on Auras hand. Volame didn't feel any pain or struggle. It seemed that the demon was really exhausted.

"Please... please, Volame... at least... at least let this child go..." Aura's weak voice came from below, and Volame was slightly startled.

Eh? She didn’t even beg me to let her go. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a demon… Let the child go. Where did the child come from?

Volame squatted down, and then she found the white-haired elf that Aura was holding down. Several spears pierced through the body of the purple-haired demon, but the elf under her was well protected, and none of the spears hurt the elf.

Volame stretched out his hand to pull the white-haired elf out, but he didn't expect that this seemed to touch upon some taboo of the purple-haired demon. The demon, who was already on the verge of death, began to tremble all over again, his confused eyes suddenly flashed, and his voice became sharp.

Aura trembled and begged:

"Wait a minute, Volame, Volame! I can die, but she is innocent. Her name is Fulilian, she is an elf, and her relatives were killed by demons just like you."

"I taught her the magic of the demon clan...but Fulilian never knew that the demon clan would kill other elves...she didn't understand anything and believed everything I said...she still believed that there were good demon clans in the world until she was exterminated by the demon clan!"

"Flillian is innocent... please... don't kill her..."

Aula began to gasp again. She opened her mouth and said a few words, and blood began to flow from her throat. Aula vomited blood in small gulps and spoke intermittently.

Volame took a step back in horror, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

The demons would actually plead for the elves’ lives?

Volame looked back and the waiting warriors immediately came over and told them about using the elves to subdue the purple-haired demons. They also mentioned that because the elves were in a coma and posed no threat, they decided to wait for her to come back before making a decision.

"This demon is indeed strange. The warriors are all discussing it in secret. They have never seen a demon with this kind of expression before. When they surrounded her, it didn't seem like they were surrounding demons. Instead, it looked like they were killing people." A squad leader of the warriors whispered in Volame's ear.

"Please, Volame, I lied to you... Twenty years ago, it was my fault. I shouldn't have taught you the wrong magic..."

Wait, what is this demon talking about?

Twenty years ago? The day when Aura rescued her from the roadside?

Volame opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She had never told anyone that it was at that time that she was first introduced to magic.

"Ahem... I shouldn't have knocked you out from behind and tried to sell you out thirteen years ago when you were seriously injured and protecting me... I shouldn't have cut open your stomach and ate your internal organs later..."

Thirteen years ago?

Volame was about to forget.

In order to protect Aura, she was hit by the magic cannon of the demon tribe. When she told Aura to leave quickly... Ah, she suddenly had a headache and lost consciousness... When she woke up later, the wound on her stomach had been cleaned, but it was all bite marks... At that time, at that time? At that time! Could it be? ?

"I'm sorry, Volame..." Aura raised her head tremblingly and gave Volame a bitter and sad smile. Aura's expression was already very human-like. "I shouldn't have wanted to abandon you again and again."

"It's just... this has nothing to do with Fulilian. Can you please forgive me? Please let her go..."

"Please, I'll do anything..."

Aura seemed to remember something, and the hand that was stepped into the mud by Volame moved back little by little, and she reached out and twisted her left corner.

"Don't you want my horn? I can give it to you...right here."

click-

Aura broke off most of his left horn, which had been injured thrice and healed, and handed it to Volame with hope in his eyes.

Aura's purple eyes were filled with tears and pleading.

Volame's eyes were dazed, and he didn't react to what Aura said for a while. When he saw Aura handing him the horn, he took it instinctively.

The moment he held it, he felt a familiar touch, and several images of himself being carried on the back of a purple-haired, horned figure flashed through his mind while he was half asleep and half awake.

“No…no…no no no no no!!!”

Volame stepped back repeatedly, fell to the ground and half-knelt, his face full of fear.

She always thought that those vague memories were dreams. Volame always thought that they were just confused dreams caused by the chaos when her consciousness was confused!

How could this be? How could this be! When Aura was carrying me on his back, the thing I held in my hand felt like a demon horn. It really was a demon horn!!!

Volame remembered something, and crawled to Aura in a panic, staring at Aura's face with his eyes fiercely and asked in a stern voice:

"But why didn't you reveal your identity at first? Why did you hide it from me? What is your conspiracy?!"

"…I am a demon, Volame."

Aula gasped in pain and suddenly vomited blood. She couldn't cover it with her hands. When she was able to speak, Aula stared at the pool of blood in her open hands and smiled bitterly.

"My hands are stained with the blood of so many humans. Even if I want to reform myself and become a good demon...but Volame, can you forgive me on their behalf?"

Volame's breathing stopped, her eyes were empty, she couldn't answer, and had no way to answer.

The moment he was sure that the demon in front of him was Aura, Volame really wanted to let her go and save her, but...but - Volame couldn't do that!

The surrounding kingdom soldiers were all looking at her.

She is the great magician of mankind. If she faces a demon clan that has killed countless humans, but lets them go because of her own selfish desires, then won't the lives of those who were killed by the demon clan before, and those who might be killed by the demon clan in the future, be ignored?

"I'm sorry, Volame... We were born enemies... We shouldn't have had any contact... But because of me... Because I was lurking in front of you in disguise... I was full of lies... But even so, I still want to tell you..."

Aura's purple eyes were filled with pain, regret, and reluctance to leave. Vlamei stared into the purple eyes and saw only his own reflection. This time, whether Aura was imitating a human or was in pain from the bottom of his heart, even Vlamei couldn't tell.

"...Volame, you are my most outstanding disciple."

"…………" After Aura said the last sentence, her breathing became slower and shallower, until finally, those beautiful purple eyes lost their luster. Aura tightly hugged the elf in her arms and fell into a deep sleep of death.

“No, no no no no no!!” Volame collapsed, tears streaming down her face. She covered her face and cried bitterly, then knelt and curled up in front of Aura, almost begging.

"No, please!"

“Aura, don’t die… don’t die in front of me… why… why did you say such cruel words to me!!”

As she grew sadder, Volame's grip loosened more and more, until at one point, the wand in her hand fell.

"It's now!!!"

Aura suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of the lifeless shadow in his purple pupils. At the moment when Volame's wand slipped out of his hand and the forbidden magic ritual stopped, Aura's left hand, which was still able to move, grabbed the golden spear in the middle of his abdomen and crushed it in an instant.

When the golden light had not yet dissipated, she waved her hand, and under the power of magic, all the spears on her body broke into pieces.

Holding Fulilian in his arms, he flashed away in front of Volame's astonished gaze and quickly disappeared at the end of his sight.

It happened so fast that no one present could react, and everyone was immersed in the depressing atmosphere of misery and sadness.

Only Aura's mouth showed a smile of success.

Plan passed!!

From the very beginning, every word said to Volame was part of Aura's plan.

"Awula!!!!!!!"

Volame's grief-stricken roar came from behind, but Aura didn't care. With the speed of a human, it was impossible for her to catch up with a big demon who was accelerating at full speed with the obedience magic!

Human!

You must remember this day, it is your lifelong honor!

You almost killed Aura of the Guillotine, one of the Seven Demons!

"Awula! I will catch you sooner or later! Lock you up and make you atone for eternity!!!"

"forever!!!!"

Volame's roar echoed through the forest.

As Aura ran, he thought:

The so-called ancestor of human magic, Volame, is just like this~~ He was deceived by Aura's superb acting skills and escaped~~ Volame doesn't seem to be as smart as Aura~~

Chapter 55: It's all your fault, Fulilian

After crushing Volame's Demon-Sealing Spear, Aura randomly chose a direction and fled in panic.

Fulilian was held in her arms, and she did not wake up even after a large shock. It should be that her magic power reached its limit and she was forced into a coma.

At this time, Furlian was obviously not as magnanimous as she would be in the future. In the future, she would be able to use the high-consumption magic of purifying the headless warrior in succession and still retain most of her magic power.

"You are so weak, Flillian."

Aura looked down at Fulillian, and found that blood was flowing from his body, splattering large chunks on Fulillian's pale face.

Only then did Aura realize that there was no way to avoid treating his injuries.

Although obedience magic can make even a dead person move, it cannot prevent death or the disappearance of consciousness. After Aura's blood has drained from her body, she will probably become a corpse puppet that protects Frielian based on command instinct.

Aura tried to remove the obedience magic, and at the moment when her own command to herself dissipated, Aura fell down.

While running at high speed, Aura rolled several times while holding Fulilian, and stopped when he hit a tree trunk.
