Two completely opposite voices came from Darkness's mouth.

Logically, the atmosphere should be tense and solemn at this moment, but for some reason, Mo Li felt something was amiss, even though Darkness was possessed.

"How could this be? What's going on with this 'beautiful' girl? You bastard, don't you dare interrupt and mess around!"

"But what's going on here? This guy's spirit is just too strong... [He's practically a paragon of knights!]...Shut up, shut up!"

Darkness was panting heavily, and it seemed that Barnier couldn't fully control the body.

Barnier's power all comes from that mask. It's not possession in the traditional sense, but rather a connection to Darkness's nerves through the mask, which allows him to control her.

This scene only occurred because of Darkness's powerful mental strength.

"Mr. Barnier, please release Miss Darkness immediately."

"Shut up, you traitor! Why did we come all the way here to find you? You despicable traitor!"

"Hey—! How can you say that, Mr. Barnier? Quickly apologize to Lord Mo Li, and perhaps your life will be spared!"

"What a joke! We're all demons, don't I have any dignity?"

Barnier was clearly furious and yelled at Wiz.

Mo Li tilted his head, weighed the Blade of Rebellion in his hand for a moment, and slowly walked towards Darkness.

The creature attached to her felt fear and retreated repeatedly, trying to distance itself from Mo Li.

"Don't come any closer, Demon King! [Mo Li, don't worry about me! Leave me here and go!] Don't think things will go as you wish. [Ah, I've always wanted to say this line!]"

"Demon King, you wouldn't want to hurt your own subordinates, would you? If this girl keeps enduring my power, [actually, it's okay, I can keep taking it!] It's so annoying!!!"

Backup 9 Leek Si Neighbor

If he could, Barnier really wanted to leave this body and possess Darkness; it was the thing he regretted most, but…

Leaving this body means that Mo Li can kill him without any scruples.

For a moment, Barnier was caught in a dilemma. Moreover, his actions in this body were extremely restricted. Not only could he not use his killing ray, but his strength was also greatly weakened.

"It's alright, Darkness, I'll make you recover completely, without any pain!"

Mo Li's golden eyes quickly transformed into copy eyes. He clasped his hands together, and a white magic circle appeared on Darkness's body, carrying a divine aura.

"Hey, this is really strange! How can a demon king like you possess the divine judgment of the gods?!"

"Oh, an old man named Tarel taught me this. To repay him, I used his most proficient elemental magic to send him to his death." Maru.

Chapter 312 Tsukuyomi Space, Barnier's Death

Barnier had obviously heard of the name of Tarel, the most powerful mage in the Southern Empire, but what surprised him even more was that the Demon King had actually learned light magic.

"Sasha, Barnier, what are you going to do as a pure-blooded demon?"

"Hahahaha, I have completed my control. If you use light magic, you will purify this girl as well. Now it is your turn to make a choice!"

Upon hearing Barnier's words, Mo Li immediately stopped what he was doing, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't sure if what Barnier said was true or false, but judging from what he had just said, Darkness's personality hadn't appeared, which made Mo Li's expression somewhat unpleasant.

Upon seeing this, Barnier stretched out his arms and burst into laughter, his expression particularly exaggerated.

"Hahahaha, it's useless, Demon King. After the girl's excruciating pain exceeded a certain level, [I, I can't take it anymore!] she satisfiedly gave her body to... Damn it, don't make those strange noises!"

The voice of "850" appeared again, allowing Mo Li to assess the current situation.

A smile appeared on Mo Li's lips. The purification magic that had been stagnant reappeared at Darkness's feet, and this time the holy aura was even stronger.

"Wait, wait a minute, I admit I was lying to you just now, no, no—!"

"Tch, I never thought I'd actually say that. Prepare for judgment, SacredExorcism!"

The white light completely enveloped Darkness's body, and the holy aura made everyone present feel disgusted, so they all retreated.

As the light faded, Darkness knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

Mo Li frowned. Barnier's aura hadn't disappeared, which meant he had failed.

"Hahahaha, so close! Demon King, I have to admire this girl's physical strength. If it were my true form, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the purification magic!"

"This is bad, this situation is not easy to handle. Even if it is under the purification spell, that demon can withstand it."

Mo Li guessed that the reason why Banir was able to withstand the magic was mainly because of Darkness's body.

Knights of the Crusader are holy knights who serve God, therefore Darkness has a particularly strong resistance to light magic. Damn it, I should have reincarnated her first.

"Demon King, do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? This girl can't hold on much longer!"

"I really can't do anything with you. In that case, I'll just have to separate you from Darkness for now."

"Oh? You think you can do that? My mind control isn't something an ordinary mage can break."

"Mind manipulation? What a coincidence, I'm an expert in that!"

As the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun, while Barnier was still puzzled, the surrounding scene instantly changed, with a red moon hanging high in the sky and the occasional cawing of crows.

Barnier carefully observed his surroundings, squatted down, and touched the ground beneath his feet.

"Illusion? Or something else..."

"Welcome to the world of Tsukuyomi. Everything here, including time, place, and quality, is under my control. No matter how strong you are, you are powerless before Tsukuyomi."

"Hmph, it's just a little illusion. Watch me break it!"

Barnier snorted coldly, his body radiating terrifying magical power. He raised his greatsword with his right hand and slashed down at his other arm, trying to use the pain to return to his original world.

Mo Li did not stop Banir's actions, but watched coldly from the side. If Tsukuyomi was such an easy illusion to break, then what kind of strongest mental attack was it?

The greatsword, swung down with all its might, snapped in two, but Darkness's left arm remained unharmed.

"Impossible! I should still be in the dungeon. This is just a visual trick you used to fool me!"

"You are very smart, but unfortunately, you are using your intelligence in the wrong place."

Barnier was about to retort when he found that the scene around him had changed again. When he realized what was happening, he was already tied to the cross and unable to move.

Mo Li, holding a sharp blade in his hand, walked up to Barnier with a wicked grin and casually brandished it.

Barnier tried to mobilize the magic within his body to resist, but he didn't expect that the originally abundant magic would disappear without a trace at this moment, and he finally felt a little panicked.

"Hey, don't do anything reckless! You should know that you're harming this girl's body, while we won't be hurt at all. I advise you to put the knife away!"

"Really? Then take a look at who's behind me."

Barnier looked curiously behind Mo Li and saw Darkness's figure gradually appear.

"How is this possible? I clearly didn't leave her body on my own, how could this be..."

"The moment you entered the Tsukuyomi world, I had already separated Darkness from you. I told you, I'm the best at mind manipulation!"

"Damn it, I lost again. Defeating the Demon King is definitely not my specialty."

Barnier's tone turned somewhat dejected; he had already foreseen his fate.

Mo Li tossed the knife aside. Ordinary torture was ineffective against Banir, and the demon's mental strength was formidable; it would take a very long time to wear it down.

If he cannot be erased in the Tsukuyomi world, Darkness will still be in great danger when she returns to the real world.

Fortunately, in this world, time is under his control, giving him ample time to eliminate Barnier.

Let's start with the purification magic package.

And so, Mo Li began a three-month-long tormenting journey with Barnier, using all nine spells in turn.

As expected of the man known as the Duke of Hell, even ordinary people might not be able to endure it for three days, but Barnier actually lasted for a full three months.

However, the effect was still quite obvious. Barnier's aura was getting weaker day by day, and his mental strength was not as good as before.

Finally, in the last month, Barnier breathed his last.

Four months is but a fleeting moment to the outside world.

Mo Li exited the Tsukuyomi space; if it weren't for his passive skill "Unbreakable," his magic power would have been depleted long ago.

Darkness easily removed the mask from her face and handed it to Mo Li.

"This guy is really troublesome, but thankfully, we managed to erase his mind!"

"Hey, what happened? What's going on?"

To Wiz and Youyou, it seemed like only a moment had passed before Darkness removed her mask.

To prevent Barnier from having any other means of resurrection, Mo Li immediately split the mask in two.

"If the main body is destroyed, even a demon cannot be resurrected!"

"Ah, what a pity, I wanted to try that feeling again!" 5.2

Darkness stared at the mask that had been split in two with a complicated expression. Just as she was about to pick it up, Mo Li dragged her aside, shouting loudly.

"Let me go, I need to give my partner a proper funeral."

"What kind of partner are you? You idiot! It would be better if such a thing didn't exist in the world!"

Seeing that Darkness was deeply obsessed with the demon, in order to break her thoughts, Mo Li immediately decided to destroy the mask, leaving not even a trace.

"Yan Ling·Jun Yan!"

As Mo Li finished speaking, flames landed on the mask and began to burn it to ashes.

Darkness cried out loudly, as if she had lost a dearest friend.

Mo Li shook his head helplessly and pulled Darkness away from the dungeon.

"No, let me go! Let me say goodbye to my partner one last time!"

"Are you out of your mind? You absolutely are! Behave yourself, you masochist!"

Chapter 313 Barnier II, News from Eris

After eliminating Barnier, Moli led Wiz and the others back to Axel. At the same time, they heard that Sato Kazuma and his group had once again escaped capture.

However, this is hardly news to Mo Li; it would be surprising if he couldn't escape.

After resting for a night at the villa in Aldap, Mo Li prepared to return to Demon King's Castle. He hadn't been back for so long and wondered how the preparations were going.

Before leaving, Wiz said he wanted to go back to the old shop to take a look, as he had forgotten some equipment there. Mo Li thought it wasn't a big deal, so he agreed.

But when the group arrived at the shop, they found it had reopened and was still a magic item shop.

"That's strange. Someone actually bought this place. It was completely empty last time."

"Why don't we go in and take a look? I'm also a bit interested in this person."

After Wiz's reputation as a lich spread, the shop remained vacant, and no one dared to open a shop there, even though the landlord repeatedly tried to lower the price to sell it.

Now that someone has actually taken over this place again, it has aroused Mo Li's considerable interest.

The four of them walked into the shop together and heard a familiar and gentle voice.

"welcome!"

A tall, new shop assistant, wearing the shop's apron, greeted the four of them with a warm, upturned smile, if not for the mask on her face. 09

Seeing this, Mo Li quickly shielded Darkness and the others behind him, getting into a fighting stance, ready to act at any moment.

Barnier waved his hand, still starting with his exaggerated laughter, still twisting his stiff body.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Demon King, and the girl who called me 'partner' before, welcome!"

"Barnier? Are you some kind of immortal being, or is the claim that the mask is your true form a lie? You really do need to go to hell!"

"No, no, no, please don't do that. Even we can't be immortal. Look, take a closer look at this mask."

Barnier tapped his mask, gesturing for Mo Li to come forward and check.

Mo Li cautiously stepped forward, bringing his face close to examine it closely. Compared to before, there was an extra character in the middle of the mask, but otherwise, there were no changes.

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Barnier held up two fingers and explained:

"I lost one life, but now I am the second Barnier!"

"Tch, I knew I'd let you experience the taste of Tsukuyomi again."

"That illusion? Yes, those four months were the most difficult time of my life. But rest assured, I am no longer Duke Barnier of Hell. I am now Mr. Barnier, the owner of a magic item shop!"

Barnier, wearing a pink apron, made unusually comical movements.

Mo Li said she still didn't believe his words; after all, who would be foolish enough to believe the words of a demon?
