The battle between the Demon King and the "Assassin" has begun.
..
..
..
"Bang!"
The last long sword was knocked away, and after spinning several times in the air, it was inserted into the soil.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights.
Ye Shi lay in the soft soil, looking at the blue sky that had finally cleared up, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.
She lost.
He couldn't even move a finger, and even though he used up every last bit of strength in his body, he still couldn't defeat the demon king.
but...
All this is finally coming to an end.
"Da da..."
The petite figure of the Demon King appeared before her.
The opponent clenched the staff in his hand and stabbed it towards her brain...
..
Quiet...
Finally it's quiet...
The noise in my brain finally disappeared, and it was like emerging from the bottom of the sea, and I felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
This is...
Death?
wrong...
“Thump, thump—”
Ye Shi could feel that her heart was still beating and she was still alive.
But why...
She should have been killed by the angry demon king, but why... is she still alive...
"Why..."
Ye Shi's thoughts were in great confusion, and at this moment...
Tick-tock
Warm water droplets dripped onto her cheeks, and sad sobs came to her ears.
Ye Shi felt something strange and when he slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was...
The Devil...
The crying devil.
"Why, why do we have to fight..."
The pink-haired demon king did not kill Ye Shi, but instead stabbed his staff into the soil beside her cheek, and tears as big as beans fell from his cherry eyes.
The demon king, who was called the most evil by humans, now looked like a heartbroken girl.
"you.."
Ye Shi lay on the ground, feeling the wetness of the other person's tears falling on his face, and his chest ached slightly:
"Why... don't you kill me?"
She gradually recalled what she had just done and realized that her hands were stained with blood, as if countless pairs of dark hands were grabbing her body.
To the demons, she is a "sinner".
He killed so many innocent civilians and turned the city that had finally been reborn into ruins. Such a "criminal" deserves to be executed with the most vicious punishment.
But..
The demon king in front of him did not do so.
"Because... you look... in pain too..."
She cried, her tears for the dead civilians and for the suffering "assassin" in front of her.
"...You just...want to die..."
Not long after the battle began, the Demon King noticed her abnormality.
That desperate attack, as if he didn't care about his life, didn't seem like a prepared killer at all, but...
A wolf cornered.
Instead of killing her, she tried her best to calm her down and finally tried her best to block out the noise in her mind.
"I... killed many demons..."
In the face of the Demon King's mercy and sympathy, such charity was like poison to Ye Si, melting her heart and making her feel even more painful.
"I... killed your relatives..."
If she still had the strength, she would have chosen to cut her throat, but unfortunately she couldn't even move a finger.
die...
This is the only fate for a "sinner" like her.
Hell... is where she is destined.
"Just kill me."
“…”
The Demon King bit his lower lip, thinking of the moment when his sister was killed by the person in front of him. His cherry eyes were filled with tears of sadness, and his hands holding the staff were shaking constantly.
Anger was driving her to take revenge on the murderer, but until the end, she did not do so:
"Even if I kill you, the dead won't be resurrected, and nothing will change..."
The Demon King dropped his hands helplessly, looking at the town around him that had turned into ruins, his eyes becoming empty and lifeless.
The cool breeze after the rain blew past, but it could not take away the gloom in my heart, nor could it blow away the stench of blood.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Ye Shi closed his eyes.
She was already tired. There was no reason for her to continue lingering. Her brain gave up thinking:
"Doing this....you can at least feel a little more comfortable..."
"What do you think of your life!"
The Demon King was furious. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted angrily in a crying voice.
"My life...is worthless..."
Ye Shi thought back on his life, which was as stupid and unsuccessful as a clown. He had accomplished nothing except killing and destruction.
Whether it is the human world or the demon world, there is no place that can accept her.
“Why can you say such a thing…”
The devil didn't know what the woman in front of her had experienced. She only felt endless despair and sorrow from her, as if she were a corpse without a soul.
"How could it be worthless? There must be someone in this world waiting for you to return..."
She tried to dig out what was in the other person's mind and spoke comfortingly.
"No." Ye Shi replied.
"So...what about your home? Don't you want to go home?"
“No home.”
"So...what about friends?"
"No."
"What about the others..."
“Basically, it’s gone.”
...
The air was as silent as death.
The devil closed his mouth, realizing that he had stepped on many landmines, and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Strange guy..."
Ye Shi opened his eyes again and looked at the girl who was sad for him, with an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.
The Devil...
It should be the most evil creature in the world.
But the girl in front of him, despite being covered in wounds, felt sad for this evil person who deserved to die.
Is this kindness or stupidity?
No matter which the answer is, this is a noble emotion that Ye Shi has never seen before.
In war, in the intrigues of mankind, Ye Shi had seen too many filthy and corrupted souls. The girl's character was too dazzling for her...
but..
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, such beautiful things are destined to be destroyed and trampled under the feet of war.
"Run away."
Ye Shi said.
"Humans will attack sooner or later. Run away... somewhere where there are no humans."
This is advice from her heart.
Regardless of whether her assassination mission succeeds or not, humans will attack and try every possible means to conquer the demon world. She is just a human bomb to weaken the power of the demons in advance.
Ye Shi no longer wanted to see beautiful things wither away before her eyes. Even if the possibility was not high, she hoped that the girl in front of her could survive.
However, the other party’s answer was:
"I'm not leaving. I want to stay here with everyone."
The girl shook her head and stood up with the help of the reinforced concrete in the ruins. Her eyes were firm and there was no trace of retreat in her tone.
"...If you keep going like this, you'll die."
Thinking of the girl's cruel fate, Ye Shi's tone was filled with strong anxiety:
"Soon, humans will come to harm you again in the name of defeating the Demon King..."
"Then, as long as the 'Demon King' doesn't exist, isn't that enough?"
"What..."
The girl's sudden words left Ye Shi stunned.
The breeze gently blew the white flowers in the cracks of the ruins and the girl's soft light pink hair:
"As long as the Demon King doesn't exist, isn't that enough?"
She gripped the staff tightly in her hand and repeated it again.
"What's the meaning..."
Ye Shi had no idea what the other party was going to do, but he had a bad feeling.
