Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

The Demon King's face, which had almost lost its original appearance due to the growth of black scales and black exoskeleton armor, began to tremble slightly with his tightly closed eyes, as if he was about to wake up.

Yesterday at the Siren Fortress, the white-haired demon king could still roughly identify as a young Liaozhou Asian girl.

In just one night, Lin Lan felt that compared with yesterday, the feeling he got from the Demon King was more like facing a horrible monster from the abyss.

In particular, the devil has a pair of black horns on his head and a pair of pale strange bone wings behind him, which are very similar to the demons in countless Blue Star film and television works.

"!"

At the moment when the last layer of the small barrier was broken, the Demon King suddenly opened his eyes.

A pair of black and red vertical pupils were filled with a raging brutal aura, and the moment she woke up, a thick black mist emanated from around her body.

Lin Lan was no longer unfamiliar with these black mists that seemed to be corrosive. Both the former Abbott and the fragments of the Invisible Breath he had just seen possessed similar abilities.

Before Lin Lan could react, the Demon King who was lying on the ground had disappeared.

"Ding!!!"

A crisp sound of metal collision suddenly exploded in front of him, followed by a series of sharp and piercing sounds caused by hard objects being cut.

Yun Xian, who was standing beside him, was also

The space was right in front of him.

Looking through Yunxian's back, Lin Lan saw that the Demon King's hands seemed to have mutated, and were covered with sharp black bone claws, which were colliding with the sharp blade of the slender sword in Yunxian's hand.

The collision between the two produced a large amount of golden sparks, but it was obvious that the Demon King could not gain any advantage in front of Yun Xian.

Because in the next second, accompanied by a gust of air and a dull thud, in just a flash, Yun Xian had actually stomped the Demon King hard to the ground.

It turned out that in this instant, Yun Xian kicked the Demon King in the stomach with great force, causing him to fly backwards uncontrollably.

Afterwards, the great sage of Sakura Empire caught up with the Demon King at a speed that was almost impossible for Lin Lan to catch with his naked eyes, and stomped him to the ground in mid-air.

The outcome of the battle was decided in just one confrontation.

The demon king, lying on his back on the ground, had his abdomen stepped on by Yunxian. From the crack that was covered by black bone armor and could still be called a mouth, black liquid like blood spurted out uncontrollably.

The Demon King was still squirming, trying to get up, but Yun Xian's fierce attack just now was fully exerted, and two kicks made the black monster lose the strength to even raise its arms.

In order to prevent the Demon King from making any more dangerous moves, Yunxian even pointed the tip of the silver-gleaming sword in his hand at the Demon King's throat.

Lin Lan had no doubt that as long as Yun Xian pushed forward gently, the black monster would be immediately beheaded.

But even so, the Demon King still seemed unafraid of death. He frantically twisted his body, which had long been covered with black bone armor and scales, trying to stand up again.

"What a crazy monster, Commander, right now."

Yun Xian's serious words awakened Lin Lan, and he also knew that he could not waste the opportunity Yun Xian created for him.

So Lin Lan immediately used the Light Butterfly skill on the rich light element ball in his hand, transforming it into an extremely shining white butterfly, and controlled it to fly towards the struggling Demon King.

But the next second after the Butterfly of Light appeared, Lin Lan and Yun Xian were surprised to find that the Demon King, who had been struggling desperately, suddenly seemed to be stunned and stopped all movements.

This monster, whose entire body was covered in black bone armor and scales except for its eyes, stared at the light element butterfly that passed through the thin black mist and kept approaching her with a look filled with cruelty and madness.

Lin Lan also noticed that the madness in the devil's dark red eyes was gradually fading away.

It seemed that at this moment, this ordinary butterfly of light awakened the demon king's human sanity.

Lin Lan controlled the light butterfly that gathered a high concentration of light elements and flew it to the forehead of the Demon King. The next second, he felt that the light elements in the light butterfly were constantly dissipating.

In contrast, the black scales and bone armor on the demon king's face and body began to disintegrate and collapse, like ice melting under high temperature.

This meant that the Demon King was indeed being replenished by him, just as the Purifier had said to him at the time...

Pah, the erosion of the body is being curbed by the light element.

In order to prevent the light element contained in the butterfly of light from

Enough, for the Demon King to be filled with crazy emotions again.

Lin Lan waved his hand, and condensed several butterflies of light that flew to the forehead of the Demon King, replenishing the light element inside the first butterfly of light.

During this period, Yunxian was vigilantly holding the knife pointing at the devil's neck and observing the surroundings.

However, she unexpectedly discovered that the black fog around her, which had become increasingly thicker as the Demon King awakened, was gradually dissipating.

These black mists seemed to have actively avoided Lin Lan, as if they had seen their natural enemy.

Lin Lan naturally did not notice this situation, and Yun Xian thought about it for a moment but did not tell Lin Lan about this discovery.

Just like that, as Lin Lan kept a distance and continued to inject light elements into the Demon King, after about two or three minutes, most of the hideous black bone armor and scales on the Demon King's body had melted.

The melted black liquid slid onto the ground and turned into the black wriggling matter surrounding the corpse of the ordinary monster that Lin Lan had seen.

However, due to the illumination of the Butterfly of Light, these disgusting black substances quickly evaporated, without even a trace of mist.

The disappearance of the bone armor and scales also revealed the Demon King's true appearance.

The tall and slender body is matched with a pretty girlish face, yellow eyes that seem to have been sucked out of the soul, and pale skin hidden under the tattered white cloth.

Although the Demon King was a real beauty after shedding most of the black stains on her body and revealing her original appearance, to Lin Lan, this Demon King girl did not have any attraction to him at all.

This is the confidence that being a commander brings him.

Rather than admiring the appearance of the Demon King, Lin Lan paid more attention to the white bone wings behind the Demon King and the black horns on his head.

These seemed to be the Demon King's original body organs and did not disintegrate with the injection of his light element.

But Lin Lan noticed carefully that there were several lines on the surface of both the bone wings and the horns that were about to break.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem..."

Before he could observe further, the Demon King suddenly seemed to feel unwell in his body, and he showed a painful expression and started coughing violently.

Yun Xian seemed to sense something as well, and immediately stepped back, protecting Lin Lan.

The next second, the white-haired demon girl climbed up from the ground, sat on the ground and covered her throat in pain.

Then the devil vomited out a large amount of black worm matter from his body.

Chapter 653 Memories of Lihu County

After vomiting a pool of black worm matter, the Demon Girl, who had basically returned to her normal appearance, seemed to become extremely weak.

Before Lin Lan and Yun Xian could look at each other and try to communicate with her, she fell backwards and fainted.

After Lin Lan used light elements to eliminate the black substances in front of the Demon King, he and Yun Xian walked to the side of the Demon King and observed him carefully.

Yunxian crouched down, summoned two blue butterflies, and closed her eyes slightly after the Demon King's body fell.

After a long while, Yun Xian opened her eyes, stood up and whispered to Lin Lan:

"Commander, she has been severely eroded by the disaster. It is so serious that the only reason she can still maintain her life is because of the pollutants of the disaster."

Lin Lan was not surprised to hear the conclusion reached by Yun Xian after analysis.

Because according to the historical records of the Nine Islands of Liaozhou, the Demon King's army had been wreaking havoc in Liaozhou thousands of years ago.

The Demon King who already existed at that time was defeated by Yuki and has been sealed ever since. The Siren used some unknown means to unseal and capture him.

After being eroded by the power of the mysterious enemy for such a long time, the fact that the demon king in front of him could actually recover to his original appearance already felt like a miracle to him.

But if the Demon King really relies on the energy of the mysterious enemy to survive, if he rashly eradicates the mysterious enemy's energy in the Demon King's body, wouldn't the Demon King die on the spot?

Then what's the point of the Purifier handing the Demon King over to him?

Considering that the black bone armor and scales on the Demon King's body yesterday were not as serious as before, Lin Lan also thought about it and analyzed it and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, if these pollutants in her body are not completely eradicated, they will definitely continue to regenerate and turn her into the monster she was just now."

"Not only that, Commander."

Yun Xian controlled the blue butterfly that was resting on the Demon King's chest to fly to her fingertips. She turned sideways and looked at Lin Lan, her tone somewhat complicated:

"The source of disaster pollution in her body will continue to emit the aura of disaster, which can subtly affect the surrounding environment and creatures, transforming them into life structures similar to hers."

When Lin Lan was reminded by Yun Xian, he also remembered the black mist that had just filled the air around them.

Needless to say, it was precisely because of the Demon King's innate ability that the fragments of the Invisible Breath, which had been basically harmless within the Imperial Sacred Tree barrier, were awakened.

This is really a big and tricky problem.

Seeing that the Demon King showed no sign of waking up for the time being, Lin Lan asked Yunxian to call in Nagato, Musashi and others who were guarding outside the shrine.

Now the threat of the Demon King has been temporarily lifted, but he feels it is necessary to discuss with the ship girls of the Sakura Empire on how to deal with the Demon King next.

According to his original idea, the safest way was to kill the devil directly.

But what the Purifier said to him yesterday, and the Siren's attitude towards the Demon King's experimental subjects, made him temporarily list this method as the worst option.

After capturing the Demon King and the monsters in his army, the Siren is fully capable of killing them directly. Why do they have to keep them imprisoned for research?

This shows that the Demon King and his army definitely possess a power that even the Siren cannot break.

the mystery.

Lin Lan even seriously suspected that once the mystery of the Demon King and the Demon King's army was solved, it would be very likely to become an effective aid in their fight against the mysterious enemy X.

After Nagato and the others came over, Lin Lan told them everything that had just happened in a few words.

After listening to his narration and his speculations about the mysteries surrounding the Demon King and his army, the far-sighted senior Mikasa was the first to speak in agreement with him.

"The commander is right. Killing the Demon King may seem easy, but if we don't figure out how she was corrupted by X, no one knows if there will be a second or third Demon King."

Mikasa said this in a firm tone, and Shinano nodded, looking at Lin Lan and said:

"Yes, Commander, do you remember that at the Sardinia Expo, even the research ship Marco Polo could not resist the erosion of X?"

Lin Lan nodded to Shinano. He certainly remembered the game plot at the expo where Marco Polo almost summoned the mysterious enemy X himself.

However, Marco Polo became so extreme because he was affected by the "Crown" eroded by the power of X. After the crown was shattered by Archbishop Richelieu of Iris, Marco Polo returned to normal in the prison cell of the Sardinian Empire.

Seeing Lin Lan nod, Shinano slowly expressed her opinion:

"The situation of this demon king in your description is so similar to that of Marco Polo. It is very likely that she is kind by nature and became a demon king after being influenced by X."

Shinano's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Lin Lan felt that Shinano's reasoning was very likely. The reason why Marco Polo took the initiative to wear the crown contaminated by X was that he wanted the Sardinian Empire to rise and have the power to fight against the Sirens.

It is mentioned in the plot of the game that the crown contaminated by X took the initiative to show Marco Polo the scene of the Siren fleet being defeated by the mysterious enemy.

It was through this method that X gradually distorted Marco Polo's mind.

If the Demon King was like Marco Polo, and became crazy because of X's corruption, then it would be even more impossible for him to kill the Demon King.

You know, the crown contaminated by X appeared out of nowhere on Marco Polo's desk for some unknown reason.

If X uses this method again in this alien world, it is very likely to replicate the horrific world-destroying disaster of the past.

Before that, he must find a way to crack this method from the Demon King.

After all, X was the Demon King of Pollution thousands of years ago, but who knows now whether X will come after his ship girls again in this different world.

However, just when Lin Lan was sure of this and was planning to ask Yunxian and Nagato to seal the Demon King with a barrier first, and then think of a solution later...

The little profiteer Akashi, who had remained silent the whole time, crouched beside the Demon King and made an unintentional remark about the Demon King's restoration of his girlish appearance, which gave him a shock in the heart.

"Even though he's a demon king, he's actually so handsome. He's completely different from the commander of the demon army that the commander first met, meow."

Mingshi's complaint suddenly reminded Lin Lan of the scene in his spiritual world after he was ambushed by Abbott, the commander-in-chief of the Demon King's army, in Lihu County.

The terrifying eyeball monster revealed its true form in his spiritual world and attempted to kill him, but was purified by the talisman that Akashi carried.

And at the moment when Abbott was purified and dissipated, he seemed to see a black and red cube slowly turning into powder.

Later, after encountering Shattered Dome, he learned that the black and red blocks were the Meta Cubes filled with meta energy.

"Abbott was obviously under the control of the Sirens at the time and was sent to the United States of Oran by the Sirens."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Demon King's army, it should be contaminated by X just like the Demon King. It should rely on the contaminated energy of X to survive, so it shouldn't be controlled by the Sirens."

"Why was Abbott not only alive and well at that time, but also had a certain degree of rationality that enabled him to communicate with him?"

"Wait! Could it be..."

Lin Lan immediately thought of a possibility. He looked at the little profiteer who was still squatting beside the Demon King and asked anxiously:

"Akashi, did you bring the Mind Cube?"
