"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Ling seemed to have noticed something, and her expression became nervous, with her little hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
"Can you tell me everything about the Demon King?"
Ye Shi knew very well that even if Zero's true identity was not the daughter of the Demon King, she should know some inside stories that ordinary people could not access.
"Demon King..."
Ling didn't expect Ye Shi to mention this suddenly. He became even more flustered and stammered, not knowing how to answer.
"I will answer this question..."
Suddenly, the shadow of an inverted cross appeared behind him, and a familiar voice reached his ears.
Zero recognized her immediately and said in surprise:
"Maria!"
Maria, the Demon King's personal bodyguard.
After the incident in the church, she never appeared again, as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.
But now, she actually appeared here.
"Maria, where are you going..."
Zero stepped forward, but as he approached, he saw Maria clearly in the burning flames, and his pupils trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.
"You, what's going on with the wound on your body..."
Tick-tock
Blood falls.
Blood stained the white apron of the maid outfit red. Maria was covered in bruises and no longer had her previous elegant posture. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and she looked extremely weak.
"Who did this? The injuries are so severe... I need treatment..."
Ling was so anxious that he was about to cry. He went forward to support her, tears lingering in his eyes.
"It's okay, please don't worry. There are more important things to deal with than treatment..."
Maria covered her mouth and coughed twice, blood seeping out from between her fingers. She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Shi in front of her. After taking a deep breath, she placed her hands on her lower abdomen and maintained the courtesy that a maid should have.
"Ms. Ye Shi, Ms. Yu Yi, next... please follow my steps closely."
“Where are you going…?”
Yu Yi asked nervously.
"go..."
Maria clenched her blood-stained palms and said in a calm tone:
"go with
The Demon King's location."
......
In the dark passage, flames lit up like signposts, extending along the road to the end of the road.
"Da da..."
The footsteps echoed in the claustrophobic space, accompanied by the girl's trembling breathing, slowly moving deeper into the room.
"W-Where is this..."
Yu Yi was very nervous. Looking at the gold-inlaid murals on the wall illuminated by flames, she felt that she was in a very dangerous place and her body couldn't help shaking.
“It’s so cold…”
Zero's arms were covered with goose bumps, and he felt a cold air flow across his skin, and his heart was beating fast.
This place is like the road leading to the final boss in an RPG game.
At the end of the road, something terrifying seemed to be waiting for them.
"The Demon King... is here?"
Ye Shi also noticed that something was wrong here. His eyes dimmed a little and he asked Maria who was walking in front.
Maria led the way on her own, her steps not stumbling at all despite being seriously injured. Facing Ye Shi's question, she simply answered in the calmest tone:
"...Sort of."
"What do you mean by 'considered'?"
Ye Shi clenched his fists lightly and became more alert.
Maria promised to bring them to the Demon King, but after arriving in this mysterious underground space, she began to speak in an ambiguous manner, which made it hard not to be suspicious.
But...
A certain premonition in her body is telling her that this "Demon King" will be the key to solving all these mysteries, and may even be the champion who stops this war.
Even if it's a trap, you have no choice but to go ahead.
"You'll understand once you see it with your own eyes."
Maria didn't intend to say anything more, or perhaps she no longer had the energy to explain, and she dragged her injured body forward.
Finally, they came to the end of the passage and a closed door.
"Master Demon, is he in there?"
Yu Yi never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to meet the legendary demon king. Nervousness, fear, and all kinds of emotions mixed in her heart, making her lack the courage to move forward.
it's wired...
Although I have never been to this place before, I have a vague feeling of familiarity.
"Is that guy... an enemy?"
Before entering, Ye Shi had to ask important questions first.
She didn't know who the Demon King was. If he was a bloodthirsty madman, she didn't have the confidence to fight him while protecting Yu Yi and Ling.
"..."
Maria's attitude remained very cold. She walked straight to the sealed door and said:
"The answer is up to you."
Scarlet magic power gathered in the palm of his hand, and as the blood hourglass in front of the door began to reverse, the seal began to loosen.
"Click"
A crisp unlocking sound.
The chains hanging in front of the door fell off one after another, and the complicated magic lock had been unlocked.
As the door slowly opened, a fishy wind rushed in. Ye Si protected the two petite succubi behind him, ready to welcome the appearance of the Demon King.
"Demon King"
The king of demons.
The ruler of the demon clan possesses the power to destroy the world and a terrifying sense of oppression.
Theoretically, he should be the strongest among the "Demons".
It's a monster.
It is a symbol of strength.
But....
Why is this happening...
“…”
As the sealed door was opened, Ye Shi protected the two people behind him and walked in with high vigilance.
However, the scene before her made her stunned.
The space behind the door was unexpectedly grand and luxurious, as if traveling to another dimension. The blood-red carpet extended to the end of the road, candles dotted the classical brick and tile walls, and there were many gold-inlaid ornaments.
Similar to many fantasy works, this is the stage of fate, very suitable for the "Demon King" and the "Hero" to have the final decisive battle.
Passing through countless luxurious chandeliers, at the end of the space stands a giant headless sculpture, and directly below the statue is a golden chair.
It was a chair made of countless gems and gold, and just looking at it made people feel suffocated and oppressive.
There is no doubt that it is the throne of the Demon King.
but...
What shocked Yoshito was...
On the throne that should have been carrying the Demon King, actually...
...
Empty.
"How is this going?"
Ye Shi looked around and didn't see any other figures. He turned to look at Maria and asked in a serious tone:
"Where's the Demon King?"
Maria didn't answer.
She maintained an elegant standing posture, looking up at the throne not far away, her lonely eyes seemed to tell something.
"Could it be that..."
Suddenly, some unbelievable thoughts appeared in Ye Si's mind, and his blood-red pupils contracted violently.
impossible...
This kind of thing can't happen, but...
"Ye Shi, what happened..."
Yu Yi looked at the empty space, still confused. Her little hands tightly grasped the hem of Ye Si's clothes, not knowing what was going on.
"Please look at this."
Maria took out a mechanical device in her hand, which was a communication device similar to a mobile phone. The cracked glass screen seemed to be playing something.
“Rustle, rustle—”
Snowflakes twinkle.
The equipment seemed to be broken, with only the restless mosaic flashing.
"I... am a demon... I'm bullied... Stop..."
But gradually, the flickering screen began to stabilize, and a familiar face appeared on the screen.
"Mi-Mi-sister?!"
A silver-haired girl appeared on the screen, speaking something passionately. Yu Yi immediately recognized her and made a sound of surprise.
“This, this is…”
Suddenly, Yu Yi noticed that in the corner of the screen, there were messages like "Live Broadcast" and "Emergency News Report", which seemed to be the pictures on TV.
"This is... a device that can connect to the human world..."
Maria handed the device to Yuyi, covered the wound on her abdomen, and explained in a weak voice.
"Human...world..."
The shocking truth left Yu Yi stunned. Looking at the picture on the screen, her brain was in a mess as if she had been in a car accident.
"Has my future sister... returned to the human world?"
incredible....
But it is not completely impossible.
