Chapter 943 Outbreak
Am I...going to die?
Perhaps it was because Ji Xing's sword was too fast, or perhaps it was because his background as a demon king was still there. When his head flew away, Cagalli's soul did not leave her body. She clearly saw her headless body fall to the ground and saw Ji Xing holding a sword.
Too fast. This man is probably stronger than I was when I was the Demon King. Now he has a human body and his strength barely reaches A-level. He has no ability to resist and his soul cannot escape.
Why did he come to kill me? Cagalli did not regard Ji Xing as an enemy, and even after learning the details of the Demon King's Feast, she was somewhat grateful to Ji Xing for revealing that Clayman was controlled by the Eastern Empire.
Was it because of that slime? Or was it because he had insight into Yuuki's actions? I just got this body, how did he lock onto me?
All kinds of doubts flashed through her mind, but were quickly eliminated because they no longer mattered.
Apart from the reluctance and guilt towards her four clowns, Cagalli felt relieved at this moment.
What a long and exhausting life it has been. I always thought I could climb out of the abyss, but I always fell back in. It's a pity that this beautiful body has only been restored for less than a month.
As if because she had recognized her own mortality, past events flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.
It was not about her life as Demon Lord Kazaream, but about her life as an innocent girl much earlier.
Now I can no longer remember my original name, but I know that I am a happy princess. Her country was built on the site of the Pureblood Human Empire. She used the natural fortresses and ruins of the Super Magic Empire to create a paradise for the long-eared people - the Super Magic Kingdom.
People live a happy and contented life.
But one day, her father went mad. The gentle and wise man suddenly claimed to be the Magic Emperor 'Jesier', became extremely cruel, oppressed the people, and pursued pleasure.
Jessir conducted various crazy experiments and created various nightmarish products, and Cagalli became one of the victims.
She was killed and resurrected as a demon dead. Her beautiful face disappeared and she became Kazaream wrapped in rotten flesh.
She changed from a beautiful girl to the ugliest man in the world. She had nightmares during that period. It was not until the stupid Jessir angered the Dragon Princess Milim that the Super Magic Kingdom was destroyed overnight and Jessir's life and death were unknown that she was finally freed.
She used the demon dead property to transform the loyal knights, civilians, and maids who followed her into demon dead like herself, allowing them to gain power to protect more people.
Although this made her realize that transforming into the Demonic Dead would not make people ugly, and her own appearance was just Jessier deliberately torturing herself, Cagalli did not fall into depravity because she had a partner.
He and the clowns struggled to survive with their people who had become the Dark Long-Eared Tribe due to the Chaos Dragon's curse. They met Laplace, became the Demon King, and finally struggled to create a stable home.
She thought she had gotten rid of the nightmare, but until the moment she met Leon, a man more beautiful than a woman, she realized that the distant nightmare had been hiding in her heart.
Arrogant action leads to defeat and death.
The escaped soul summoned Yuuki, trying to take over his body, but was countered by Yuuki. Just when she thought she was about to meet an unfortunate end, the summoner boy showed unexpected tenderness.
The soul carrier and artificial body prepared for her, Cagalli, is exactly her original appearance!
After a long nightmare, there is a short sweet dream, and I am finally... waking up.
She closed her eyes and waited for the end, but at this moment, she felt a great power injected into her soul. She heard some voices wailing and saw some familiar faces begging for mercy. They were the Seven Stars that she had met after following Yuuki to this kingdom.
what happened?
While she was in doubt, the wailing soul was purified, leaving only a pure power injected into her soul. Her soul gained a surge of power that even as a member of the demon dead who could reincarnate, she had never possessed before!
She heard the voice of the world echoing: "Confirmed. Acquired the unique skill 'Soul Eater'."
……What's wrong?
She opened her eyes in confusion, spread out her hands and looked at her palms. They were solid entities, a hundred times more powerful than before, catching up with and even surpassing her when she was the Demon King!
Beside him, the torn body of Cagalli was still lying there, blood all over the floor.
Ji Xing, who was sheathing his sword in front of her, was looking at her and asked, "How do you feel?"
Cagalli seemed to be investigating something, so she raised her hand and touched her ears. They were pointed and long, which was different from her artificial ears.
She looked towards the window, and in the reflection on the window, she saw a strange yet familiar self - not a demon dead, but a wind elf.
If I had continued to grow up smoothly as a girl, it would have been like this, right?
"what have you done?"
"Unique skill, Heroic Soul Envoy." Ji Xing replied: "I transformed you into a Heroic Soul that belongs to me. I sensed your soul's desire and helped you return to the Wind Spirit race."
"...Heroic Soul?" Cagalli vaguely felt the connection between her soul and Ji Xing's. She was silent for a moment and said, "Slavery?"
"No, it's a job." Ji Xing said, "I need to practice the skill of the Heroic Soul Envoy and get some help in combat and life. When my skills are upgraded to the ultimate level, the employment agreement will be terminated if you wish. During this period, the power you get and the skills I give you are both rewards."
"…I can't refuse, right?"
"You want to refuse?"
Cagalli lowered her head again, looked at her body, and thought to herself that she didn't think much of it.
In fact, if it weren't for her delicate position, she would have been grateful to someone who could restore her from the demon clan back to the wind elf she dared not even dream of.
This feeling, this relief, even made her want to cry. The first ray of light in her nightmare life was the clowns who accompanied her, the second ray of light was Yuuki, this... could it be the third ray?
Has fate not given up on me? It seems that every time I fall into the abyss, I will be saved.
It’s just… “I won’t be an enemy of Yuuki. Footman, Tia and Laplace, they must have their own freedom.”
"No problem." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Actually, this is also an advance payment. They are participating in an operation they should not participate in.
Well... I've caught up with it, so let's just play this joke for once - Cagalli, you don't want anything to happen to Yuuki Kagurazaka, Dia, and Footman, right? As long as you accept my Heroic Spirit employment, I can let them go this time."
"...?"
Cagalli was stunned. This should be a threat, right? Why... it was weird, not like a threat, but like a joke?
……
Meanwhile, Yuuki Kagurazaka, wearing a clown mask and disguised as Laplace, is working with Dia and Footman, secretly following Domini and the other two.
More than half an hour ago, they entered the Jura Forest and were heading towards the monster town. If it were in the past, they would have been attacked by monsters in the forest if they had gone this deep, but now it was completely different.
"You are really capable, Rimuru-sensei."
Yuuki sighed in his mind, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if something was missed or lost.
But before he had time to check and think, his thoughts were interrupted by magic elements shooting from afar.
"That is……"
"The skill merchant's flaming dragon?"
Domini and the other two in the distance also stopped.
In a flash, Shyvana, who was about 1.8 meters tall and had long crimson hair, stood in front of them. Domini was nervous for a moment, then he recognized that she had changed a little from a year ago.
He called out, "Lady Shivana?!"
Without thinking whether it was appropriate for a paladin to address the devil like that, he asked in surprise, "Mr. Ji Xing, do you know I'm here?"
Shivana remained silent, her eyes flickering over Damrada and Siren behind him.
"Oh, this is Xilian, my deputy." Dominic introduced quickly: "This is..."
"Damrade, a weapons merchant." Damrade explained himself: "I have heard of the name of the skill merchant Mr. Ji Xing a long time ago. Please forgive me for my uninvited visit. Miss Shivana, can you take me to visit Mr. Ji Xing?"
Xivana still didn't answer. Her eyes fell back on Dominic and she said, "When the master sold you the skills a year ago, he should have explained that the relationship between you and the master was just a simple business relationship. We have been strangers since we parted that day. Why did you come?"
Domini paused, and quickly replied: “Sorry, this is a special case… Because of some things, I joined the Western Saint Church, and Master Sakaguchi Hinata helped me a lot.
But I heard that she was bewitched by others and wanted to come here... to eliminate Mr. Jixing who helped the demon king Rimuru, so I hurried over. Lady Shivana, can you take me to find Mr. Jixing? I will convince Lady Hinata! "
"Stupid." Shyvana shook her head in rebuke. "Who do you think you are? Even if the master really wants to clash with Saint Hyuga, what can you do with the master's two skills that barely reach the level of A?"
Dominy was silent for a moment: "I know that my words are insignificant and my power is limited, but Mr. Jixing and Lady Hinata are both my benefactors. I cannot sit idly by and watch them clash. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I must at least... do my best!"
"But have you ever thought that this might cause trouble for the master?" said Shivana.
Domini bowed his head: "I accept all the blame from Mr. Jixing. If my parents gave me the first life, Mr. Jixing gave me the second life, and Lord Hinata saved me when my life was about to end.
If they must fight to the death, please kill me first!"
"Your gratitude is sincere." Shyvana was rarely helpless, "But doing bad things with good intentions is always the most exhausting thing."
She looked behind Domini and said, "Master Velgrind, are you still going to remain silent? Your magic element concealment skills are indeed superb. Even if I stand in front of you, I can't tell the difference between you and an ordinary paladin, but the master is not wrong."
Velgrynd? Who? A paladin?
Dominic was stunned for a moment, then startled, and turned around suddenly: "...Xilian?"
Velgrind chuckled as her long blue hair swayed in the wind. “How shameful. I have been hiding for so long, but was discovered so early. I am performing like a joke to others.”
But the skill merchant Ji Xing doesn't have the courage to appear in front of me, so you are the only one who can come? There is also an ambush, let's come out together, Guy or sister? Or Veldora?"
As the voice spread, her appearance seemed to thaw, her look remained unchanged, but she gradually became otherworldly and exceptionally dazzling.
「You don’t need Guy-sama and Velzard-sama. We are enough.」
Two voices rang out at the same time, and Rain and Misali appeared, surrounding Velgrendo and the other two. The two newly promoted demon kings were actually a little confused, following Shyvana's actions in a daze, and they actually saw the Burning Dragon?
This is Qi Yi and Lord White Ice Dragon's great enemy. In the past, they would hardly be able to withstand even a few moves from him and would never dare to challenge him.
But now... it seems to be just a clone with little magic power, there is no need to shrink back!
“Huh? Blue and Green? You two actually... evolved?” Velgrind was quite surprised to see their appearance.
Dominic was even more shocked.
No, rather than being stunned, he was more panicked. Considering what Shyvana said, how could he not react and realize that he had become a tool for others to deal with Ji Xing!
The two demon kings that appeared behind him brought a terror that made his soul tremble. The names they revealed had only existed in legends before.
"Xilian... No, you are... When was it? Didn't Lord Hinata want to eliminate Mr. Jixing, but you..."
Snapped--
A hand on his shoulder stopped him from continuing. Damrada raised his other hand and said with an apologetic smile, "It seems that I came at a very inopportune time. Um... can you please let us go? If we get involved in your fight, we will both be killed in an instant, right?"
“Go away.” Velgrind said calmly.
“Yes, yes…” Damrada was relieved as he dragged Dominy away with him. He jumped away from here in a few leaps and fled further away.
The magic power of the two opposing parties surged.
……
This sudden change also shocked Yuuki and the others. Velgrynd... that is the name of one of the dragon species, the Burning Dragon, right?
We followed her for a day?
Definitely discovered!
While still feeling frightened, Yuuki was also somewhat puzzled. Judging from what happened at the Demon King's Banquet, it was unlikely that the Dragon King would be dispatched personally, right?
No matter what, the current situation has completely exceeded his expectations. It is estimated that Granbell would never have thought it would be like this. Damrad is still alert, so it's good that he is okay.
"Let's move a little further away."
He whispered, and suddenly felt a strong fighting spirit erupting in the distance.
No, compared to the Scorching Flame Dragon's place, the movement there was only insignificant, but among humans, he was considered a master.
Is it the Paladin who has started to take action?
It's a complete mess...So what can I do about it?
4k, just survive one more day, and recover to 7k tomorrow.
