Chapter 969: Chapter 25: The Difference Between Demon Kings

It’s over?

Feeling the massive threat retreating, Emilia was somewhat suspicious and uncertain. She hadn’t seen what had defeated that demon, nor did she know the true form of the tornado.

She instinctively questioned if it might be the handiwork of the Demon King.

After all, Demon King Satan’s magic power fluctuation appeared, definitely acting from afar once... It was clearly targeting that wild boar, though she had no idea what Demon King Satan’s plan was. However, in such a situation, Miss Brave instinctively felt slightly worried, wondering if the opponent had already succeeded.

The next moment—

The wave of magic power that made her feel disgust surged again and swept over, countless dark beams of light blossomed like lotus flowers, soaring skyward and then indiscriminately falling, bathing everything within while also impacting and spreading toward farther horizons!

In just the blink of an eye, the whole world suddenly turned silent.

As if the entire space, shrouded in a dark canopy, had even stopped the flow of time itself.

—Magic Barrier!

Miss Brave immediately recognized what it was; this level of magic barrier instantly sealed the space within its scope, absolutely the Demon King’s signature move! What does that vile demon plan to do?!

Could it be that he’s finally gathered enough strength in this world, no longer planning to lie dormant, but instead ready to tear off his disguise and build his own Demon King Castle in this city?!

For a moment, due to preconceived notions about Demon King Satan, Miss Brave immediately deduced a shocking conspiracy, imagining that the future of this world would fall into a hellish scene.

Just like this city is now.

The international metropolis named Tokyo was extremely prosperous and peaceful before today. However, it suddenly turned into a chaotic scene this evening, with many buildings collapsing and elevated bridges and highways cracking open, an apocalyptic sight...

This might just be the beginning. When Demon King Satan truly conquers the world, it will undoubtedly be like ravaging the Ante Yisula world, turning every continent in this world into a demon realm, into hell. Every inch of land would be cursed ominously, leaving no grass to grow...

Maybe it’s prejudice, maybe it’s resentment, or perhaps it really is the case. In any case, Emilia tightly clenched the fist of her other hand in that instant.

Absolutely, absolutely cannot let such a thing happen again!

Wait! Seems like something has been overlooked...

This means, doesn’t it...

As if she suddenly thought of something, Emilia freed herself from the increasingly gloomy assumptions, snapped back to reality, and quickly turned to look back, her pupils visibly dilated for a moment, and then she couldn’t help but open her mouth, but said nothing.

"..."

"..."

A dead silence, not a sound.

Just like the tone of this space where movement has been halted.

Gu Mo blinked and watched the girl opposite him... He was curious to see how this Saintess and part-time hero, Miss Emilia, would deal with the upcoming events. She didn’t realize her situation was unique, always considering him as an ordinary person.

" You... You... That, no..."

Seeing that the other party was indeed unaffected, Emilia finally reacted, instinctively looked at her hand tightly gripping the other’s wrist. To protect him, she had been sharing the sparse Sacred Magic Qi with him all along.

—The purpose was to enhance his physical ability so he could keep running and wouldn’t be exhausted.

—It also served as basic protection, preventing minor accidents, bumps, and scratches.

This was all she could do earlier...

However, perhaps due to this reason, her Holy Power naturally transferred to the other through physical contact, granting him anti-magic power, hence he’s unaffected by the magic barrier, unlike others who were immobilized.

So, how should this situation be explained?

Miss Brave bit her lip, facing the gaze of the person in front of her, her eyes hovered uncertainly, feeling her mind in chaos.

Why is everything going so unsmoothly!

She just didn’t want this kindhearted person to be caught up in this! He’s just an ordinary person, originally knowing nothing, so maintaining things this way is best; life should be like this—the more one knows, the less happy one is, so there’s no need to know too much...

Especially those things that cause her pain, yet she is powerless against.

Emilia chuckled helplessly then deeply inhaled, seriously facing the person opposite: "Actually, it’s like this..."

"Excuse me, you two over there—sorry for the interruption, shall we collaborate?"

A voice full of elegance yet seemingly suppressing some anger arrived at this moment. In this space sealed by the dark canopy, a third person appeared who could continue to act.

Like a queen, she stood there, a golden-haired, red-skirted beauty quickly surveyed the two across from her, a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she didn’t take it to heart. The Eastern mysterious power system and Western magic are, without a doubt, two different styles.

She is accustomed to the world of magicians and knights.

But here, it’s the ancient land that the Alchemists and Martial Artists have dominated for five thousand years. Those mighty Martial Dao leaders, and the Alchemists who plan heavens and earth, are the mainstream group of this mysterious world... Although this island country is not truly an Ancient Eastern Country, being a feudal territory so close by, it naturally has been greatly influenced.

Actually, using the ancient Central Plains Dynasty as an absolute radiating center, it has always had a nearly absolute influence on the surrounding smaller nations, especially in ancient times, when surrounding regions and countries needed to rely on its endorsement to maintain their own legal systems.

All the mysteries and associated cultures can be traced back to the original source, so it’s indeed quite difficult to escape the imprint it has left.

According to Erica’s understanding, the mysterious side here in Fusang, although it still retains characteristic systems like the Yin Yang Dao, similarly cannot escape this influence. Martial Artists and Alchemists alike are prevalent existences, and when it comes down to it, the Yin Yang Dao and such...

Isn’t it also rooted in the philosophical theories of the Ancient Eastern Country?

Originating from Ancient China’s natural philosophical thoughts and Yin Yang Five Elements theory, it’s ultimately quite obscure and hard to comprehend. Despite being a genius young girl, only sixteen years old, Erica has earned the honor of Great Knight rank, living up to the name of the Bluntree family of magicians.

But she can only be skilled in one area, there’s no way she has extra time and heart power to grasp the profound theories of this side of the Orient.

At most, she understands some surface-level aspects, but there’s no possibility of going deeper; before now, she hadn’t really come into much contact... Therefore, at this moment, Erica naturally assumes that the two people opposite her should be mysterious figures from this side of the Eastern World.

Anyway, they are very unfamiliar extraordinaries, with special energy forms and special spell fluctuations—

Nothing else is considered beyond this.

"Co... collaboration?"

Amilia paused for a moment, not reacting immediately.

Who is this girl? How did she appear all of a sudden? Why is she inexplicably seeking me out, and what does she mean by collaboration?

"Yes, we can collaborate... This situation is beyond what we can handle, isn’t it?" Maintaining that elegant smile, the blonde girl in the red dress gently nods, she glances at the distant sky, the dark curtain still shrouding everything.

Stopping all actions of people or things without sufficient anti-magic power resistance, forcibly enclosing the space around here.

This is a spell never witnessed before, but enough to make her extremely apprehensive.

But regardless, Erica is unwilling to give up; she desperately needs to achieve feats, and the boasts she made compel her to press forward, absolutely unwilling for her outing this time to become a laughing matter... Speaking of which, she really is too young.

Actually, if she resolutely abandoned the task, consciously chose to protect herself, then indeed no one would ridicule her, her uncle would only heave a huge sigh of relief, rather than be disappointed in her.

It can only be said, young people are indeed too young, hence acting on impulse.

"I... I..."

Amilia also feels a faint stir in her heart, roughly understanding that this girl perhaps misunderstood something, but this might also be her opportunity. The question is, whether she should choose to seize this opportunity, is it worth the risk?

She subconsciously glances at the person beside her and finds the other party listening intently with a calm face, not expressing any opinions.

This makes Miss Brave breathe a sigh of relief.

"What’s there to hesitate about, you should understand!" Erica suddenly grows anxious, the two opposite are clearly around her age, don’t they even have a slight notion? She thinks this shouldn’t be the case, youth ambition should naturally include some grand aspirations.

The experience of clashing with gods...

Isn’t an honor that everyone can possess!

"The situation just now, it’s already the level that even the Demon King would be moved by it, don’t you have any thoughts?!" She takes a deep breath and speaks very seriously, trying to persuade the two opposite, she now has to find some powerful allies to collaborate!

"De... Demon King!!"

Amilia’s pupils suddenly contract, has this world already known of the Demon King’s existence?

Is it that the Demon King’s progress is so swift that he indeed has become a major threat to this world already?!

......

...

"This... this is..."

Kusanagi Hikotou wanders aimlessly in the stagnant world, glancing around in confusion, he doesn’t know why this space has plunged into stagnation nor why he is the exception.

He watches as in this fixed world—

Everything is happening as if on rewind, collapsing viaducts, splintered highways, skyscrapers reduced to ruins, under the effects of the space itself, rapidly retreating along some law, returning to their pre-damaged state.

An invisible power is mending the previous great destructions, seemingly intending to restore everything to its original appearance...

His heart is deeply shocked, he proceeds clumsily amid such earth-shaking scenery, like walking in a bizarrely colorful dream.

And then—

He sees at the end ahead, a formidable figure standing on the land.

A tall demon, with sharp horns on its head, the Demon’s Foot resembling a sheep’s hoof, appearing fierce and terrifying...

Kusanagi Hikotou sees a demon striving to repair the damaged world.
