Chapter 678 Secret


Chapter 678 Secret

The seal was lifted.

The iceberg is broken.

But the most important demon king is missing.

It must be said that this news was a huge shock to Alleria and others.

"How is it possible..."

Looking at the coffin in front of her, Alleria couldn't believe it.

"Why is this happening? According to legend, the Demon King should be in the coffin..."

"Let me see."

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and pressed the edge of the coffin. Then, his eyes gradually became deep and dim.

The world around him began to change. It was dark, and a blizzard with howling cold wind blew in his face. Duanmuhuai could feel the coffin shaking, and then stopped. Then, the coffin lid opened, and a strange old face appeared in front of him.

"Can it really be sealed for five thousand years?"

"I don't know either, but for now, this is the best way."

Another voice sounded, but Duanmuhuai couldn't see his face. He was just looking back to the past through this coffin. As for what the coffin could feel, he couldn't control it.

"If I can, I really want to kill him directly."

"But you know this is impossible. If you kill him now, he will come back in three hundred years at most."

This is quite true.

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. This is the troublesome thing about subspace creatures. As soul creations, they are almost immortal. The reason for dying is because different races have different treatment for resurrection. Some of them are just like the protagonists of the rebirth stream. They die and are resurrected with their own memories as babies. Others lose their memories after resurrection and become completely different people.

But no matter what, unless you have the ability to completely kill even the gods like Duanmu Huai, or the God of Destruction has the power to completely destroy everything, otherwise, compared to killing the opponent and waiting for the opponent for three hundred If it resurrects and makes a comeback later in the year, it would be better to just seal it away.

If you are lucky, it will be sealed for 5,000 to 10,000 years, which is not much more cost-effective than killing it directly.

Therefore, the way most worlds deal with subspace creatures is basically sealing.

As for whether the devil who is in jail and going crazy after 51,000 years will come out to take revenge, that is none of their business.

Ten thousand years from now, even the bones of their grandson’s grandson’s grandson’s grandson will probably be turned into ashes. Do they still care about this?

"Quickly, let the devil in now!"

Soon, another man dressed as a priest came over and gave the order. Then Duanmuhuai saw a tall barbarian warrior walking over carrying a corpse. Duanmuhuai couldn't see clearly in this direction, but he could see the clothes on the other side. Black armor, black hair, and a pair of devil's horns on his head - well, you said this is the devil, and it does look like that.

"Bang!"

The Demon King was thrown directly into the coffin, and the whole coffin was smashed.

"Be careful!"

At this time, the old mage from before glared at the barbarian with dissatisfaction.

"The magic circle on this coffin is very delicate. If you break even a little bit, all your efforts will be wasted!"

"If this can be broken, it means your magic is not very good, old man!"

The barbarian glared at the old magician and snorted. The elf archer next to him waved his hand helplessly.

"It's already this time, and you're still arguing! Let's get it done quickly, I always have a bad feeling in my heart..."

Hmm... Warrior, priest, barbarian, old mage, archer, no matter how you look at it, they all look like a fixed five-man group in adventure novels.

Duanmuhuai concentrated his energy and looked at the scene in front of him again. At this moment, everyone had stuffed the devil into the coffin and pierced the holy sword into his body. Then the old mage, priest and archer raised their hands and began to chant incantations, while the barbarians and warriors were guarding him. Soon, the magic circle began to emerge, huge energy trembled within it, and the ice gradually began to condense. Soon, the ceremony reached the most critical moment.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a change occurred.

The warrior who was originally standing aside walked behind the barbarian at some point, and pierced the barbarian's heart with a sword. The latter did not expect to be betrayed by his companions at this time, and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open without saying a word. Then the warrior drew out his sword and rushed directly towards the elf. He threw out the dagger in his hand and stabbed the elf in the back of the heart without any bias.

"What are you doing?!"

Seeing this scene, both the priest and the mage were shocked, but it was too late. The soldier had already killed the priest with a backhand sword, and then stabbed the other sword into the heart of the old mage.

Since everyone's attention and all their strength was focused on sealing the Demon King, they were completely unprepared for the warrior's sudden attack, so that the warrior easily succeeded. After a moment, the four adventurers fell to the ground, staring wide-eyed. His eyes became corpses that remained in silence.

The warrior walked to the coffin, stretched out his hand and grabbed the holy sword - well, at least it seemed that he was quite accomplished in this area.

"What a surprise, a wonderful betrayal."

At this moment, another strange man's voice sounded, and Duanmu Huai didn't need to think about it to guess that this was probably the Demon King.

"When the Demon King is defeated and everything returns to peace, the brave man kills his companions. So, what do you want? A mortal?"

"A contract."

The soldier stared at the coffin coldly and said.

"A deal."

"Hahahaha."

Hearing the warrior's words, the Demon King burst into laughter.

"That's interesting, a deal, what kind of deal?"

"Give me your strength, I need your strength."

"You need my power?" The Demon King's voice was full of questions.

"You defeated me and now you actually need my power?"

"You are no longer my enemy, Demon King."

The soldier's tone was colder than the cold wind in the ice and snow.

"Now, I have other enemies, enemies that cannot be defeated by just swinging a blade."

"So, it's funny that you need my power."

The Demon King chuckled.

"So, what's your deal?"

"You give me your power, and I can give up sealing you, but you have to make a contract with me and you are not allowed to enter this world again within five hundred years!"

"This is simply not enough!"

The Demon King is obviously not a soft persimmon.

"This is not a fair deal!"

"It's not your turn now, it's me who controls the ceremony!"

The warrior suddenly raised his voice.

"If you don't want to, then you will be sealed for five thousand years! Make your own choice!"

"But this is not enough! In that case, I also have a proposal!"

"…………What proposal?"

"I can agree to your request, but I also have my own request, which is that in five hundred years, your descendants will become my slaves and be driven by me from generation to generation! Forever! This is a contract!"

"……………………"

Upon hearing the Demon King's request, the warrior gritted his teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Deal!"

As he spoke, the warrior suddenly pulled out the sharp blade that penetrated the Demon King's body.

"Very good!"

The next moment, the coffin suddenly opened, and then a human-shaped shadow flew out.

"When the contract is established, I will return to my plane immediately. Ah, by the way, in order to avoid accidents, I will leave part of my power here - after all, you are the heroes who defeated the Demon King, aren't you? Yes. Yes, I have taken away the souls of your companions. I think they will enjoy their life in hell.”

"Go away, devil!"

"Hahahahaha, I'm looking forward to that moment five hundred years from now!"

After saying this, the black shadow suddenly flew into the sky and disappeared into the darkness, and the flames it left behind exploded in all directions, instantly devouring the four corpses, and then transformed into a huge demon standing in front of the coffin. . At the same time, the warrior roared and suddenly raised his right hand. The next moment, endless ice broke out of the ground, completely sealing the huge demon and the coffin.

"………………"

Looking at the frozen demon and coffin in front of him, the warrior was silent for a moment, then he decisively turned around and disappeared into the blizzard.

"………………"

How can I put it, this plot is really unexpected.

Duanmuhuai opened his eyes silently and glanced at Aurelia with a complicated expression. The latter noticed his eyes and looked at Duanmuhuai doubtfully.

"What's the matter? Mr. Duanmu?"

"No, well, I'm very interested in the story of the hero of Ruminas Kingdom. Why don't you tell me about it?"

"The legend of the brave? Everyone knows this story. The original brave and his companions went to the far north and eliminated the demon king who tried to rule the world. In this great battle, the brave lost his Four companions, but finally succeeded in sealing the demon king. After returning, King Ruminas married the princess to the brave man, and Ruminas also became the most powerful person in the land under the glory of the brave man. One of the most powerful countries…………”

As she spoke, Alleria reached out her hand and pressed the badge on her chest.

"I am a descendant of the brave family, and I once swore to protect this country like my ancestors did!"

"Well, I think it's good that you're not like him..."

Faced with Alleria's answer, what else could Duanmuhuai say.

He felt that if he told Alleria about the history he saw from the coffin, the latter might come after him to fight for her life.

In fact, to be honest, Duanmu Huai can guess a little bit why the brave will rebel. The cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked. This is an eternal law. Once the devil dies, the brave will naturally be useless. For the ruler, the hero's high reputation among the people and his powerful force that can even destroy the devil are obviously a threat.

It's obvious that the hero himself knows this too.

He is not a demon king and cannot live for hundreds or thousands of years. Human beings will always weaken, grow old, and lose everything.

Maybe this brave man discovered this and finally made this decision.

As for that story - just kidding, he is the only survivor, so he can't make it up however he wants.

But if this happens... things will become more troublesome.
