Devil [GL]

"It's really good to hear you say that..."

Hearing Bai Wanwan's words just now, Metvia was slightly taken aback, moved her lips, and finally responded with emotion.

Although she remained calm at this moment and looked calm and composed on the surface, only Metvia knew in her heart that just now, after she heard Bai Wanwan's words, how did her heart suddenly go? paused.

It was as if something was quietly breaking through the layers of ice, singing loudly all the way, advancing by leaps and bounds, directly hitting the bottom of her heart.

So what is it?

Metvia's slender and slightly curled eyelashes moved, hiding the flash of emotion in her eyes.

She didn't know what words to use to describe her current mood.

It seems to be as sweet as sugar, with a little bit of bitterness, mixed with a little anxiety, and ultimately a sense of destiny.

Perhaps, as those eloquent troubadours sang, feelings will always accumulate slowly in a long way, but it only takes a moment to break through the obstacles and conquer a person's heart.

It only takes a moment, and she can understand many things immediately, without any enlightenment or anyone to explain.

She will know that her heart that has been empty all this time is finally going to live with someone.

Even if the gender between the two is the same, even if Bai Wanwan is still in the stage of ignorance.

After thinking this through, Metvia turned his head slightly, and quietly looked at the girl beside him.

Although she knew Bai Wanwan's appearance, she hadn't observed it carefully yet.

Straight black hair, round black eyes, gentle eyebrows, a small mouth, and a delicate nose.Her skin is fair, but it is not the same as the white of the people here, but a little yellowish white.

It seems that she is just a very ordinary and pretty girl, isn't she?

Metvia frowned subconsciously, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled into a nice arc.

She closed her eyes and squeezed towards Bai Wanwan without leaving any trace, bringing the distance between them closer.

At this time, it was almost late at night, and the moon slowly moved into the air without knowing when. The bleak moonlight was reflected on the dark surface of the river, blending with those fine waves, reflecting sparkling patterns of light.

In addition to the slight sound of breathing and the sound of the tumbling and colliding water, they could also hear the faint sound of vehicles slowly rolling over on the shore not far away.

In such a quiet environment, Metvia's body shivered slightly due to the cold.She leaned tightly on Bai Wanwan's body, trying in vain to get a little warmth from his shallow warm body.

Compared with the coldness of the river, this warmth is really small, but she knows that this warmth can support her to survive for a long, long time.

In the silence and peace, Metvia turned his head to look at the sky, looked at the water vapor floating in the distance and the faint moon among the clouds. For some reason, he suddenly remembered that he had seen such a passage:

"All my life I long to be collected, placed properly, and carefully preserved. To save me from being surprised, from suffering, from wandering around, and from having no branches to rely on."

During those years when she had no one to rely on, she had to take responsibility alone and fight alone, these words were like an invisible needle, which pricked lightly at the tip of her heart, which was neither painful nor itchy, but unforgettable.

Metvia knows herself very well. She is completely different from Bai Wanwan, who has a strong personality. Even though she looks strong and indifferent, even though she has a bottom line and dignity that others cannot touch, she is still weak and yearns for peace in her bones.

She doesn't like war, and she doesn't want to be busy running around. She hopes to have someone to rely on, someone who can always accompany her through the ups and downs, and through the next countless days and nights.

And the girl next to him, could it be this person?

If not, how important would it be?

Leaning her head against Bai Wanwan, Metvia closed her eyes silently, and leaned against Bai Wanwan to resist the coldness of the river.

There will definitely be many soldiers on the shore to investigate tonight, and with the horse and the dummy as an introduction, most soldiers probably have a hard time expecting them to be here.

This is the only safe place in front of them, and they must spend the night here.

She had to take a good rest and prepare her strength, after all, she had to continue running around the next day.

In this way, after about an hour, the original situation of Enron suddenly changed.

In a place where few people noticed, Bai Wanwan's face suddenly paled a lot.

Painful emotions kept rolling in her black eyes, she bit her lower lip tightly and kept silent.The slender fingers couldn't help grabbing the driftwood, and the nails turned white from excessive force.

Originally, Metvia had to rely on her, but seeing Bai Wanwan's state, it was obviously difficult to support the weight of the two of them.

This kind of change came too suddenly, not only Metvia, but even Bai Wanwan herself did not expect such a violent reaction from her body.

It wasn't because of the cold, nor because of anything else, but because of her cultivation technique and her devouring ability.

There is no skill that is invincible and flawless. There are two sides behind any energy acquisition, and the devouring ability that Bai Wanwan obtained from Mahama Yuli Raja is no exception——

She should have only been able to absorb the energy of the demons, only those dark abilities.

In order to intimidate those knights before, she absorbed the ability and vitality of a human knight. Although the situation was urgent at the time, this was not allowed, but because of this, she would suffer an extremely strong backlash from her body.

Originally, she overabsorbed the negative emotions around her, and her meridians were already a little unable to hold on. Now that this happened again, Bai Wanwan's body began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not wanting Metvia to find out that something was wrong with her, Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth and tried her best not to make a sound, but such severe pain was not something she could bear, let alone Metvia had been secretly watching she.

"Iris, how are you doing?"

After discovering that she couldn't help curling up, Metvia frowned, quickly protected her, and released two spells with a calming effect, trying to make her feel better.

She is a dual-line mage, and her talents are related to wind and water respectively. Wind can make her spells powerful and offensive, while water can let her learn many healing spells to calm the pain of the injured people around her.

As the Duke's daughter, Metvia's water-type healing skills are naturally very good. Although it is not as good as a light-type mage, the effect should not be weak.However, even such spells have no effect in the face of the pain caused by backlash.

"No, it's okay... miss, keep hiding here... don't be found out... I... don't hurt at all..."

Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth and wanted to deny it. It took so much effort for Metvia to escape from those people, how could she ruin everything so easily?

But the physical pain was too obvious and too intense, making it difficult for her to hide it.

Bai Wanwan's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse, and now she was staying in such a cold river, which would undoubtedly make her body worse.

Metvia was aware of her situation, and as smart as she was, she immediately understood Bai Wanwan's intentions and the reason why she concealed her physical problems.

But she didn't want to accept such a favor at all!

"Your situation is very bad, Iris, I will take you ashore now."

Metvia was so heartbroken that she couldn't allow Bai Wanwan to refuse, and immediately pushed the driftwood to send her ashore.

"Miss...don't go up...I..."

Bai Wanwan wanted to struggle, wanted Metvia not to go ashore, wanted to say that staying in the water was fine, and there would be no problem.

But her body was really exhausted, and the pain and torment came up one after another, like a tidal wave continuously hitting her brain, directly crushing her sanity.

"Don't go up...Miss..."

On the way to be pushed to the shore, Bai Wanwan managed to hold on and uttered a few words, trying to stop Metvia's movements.

For some reason, she felt a burning sensation in her chest that was hard to ignore. This feeling was very strong, as if something very hot was pressing against her.

What's this?Why does it suddenly heat up?

Bai Wanwan didn't know, but she could clearly notice that as the temperature of this thing gradually increased, the pain in her body was also shrinking little by little.

This thing... can save her?

However, before she could express herself clearly, the next moment, she fainted directly due to the severe pain.

"Iris!?"

Before she passed out, she seemed to hear Metvia's panicked screams.

Bai Wanwan opened her mouth weakly, trying to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything.

And after Bai Wanwan fell into a coma, the originally dull golden ball hanging around her neck suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light, covering her whole body in an instant.

-

After coma, Bai Wanwan's consciousness did not fall into chaos as she expected, but remained extremely clear.

As if she was not in a coma at all, she could remember everything that happened just now, knowing that she was in a coma, and also knowing that Metvia would probably not listen to her, but would choose to continue to send her ashore.

In fact, the scorching heat had a great effect on relieving her pain. She could have resisted in the water without going ashore.

I only hope that the pursuers who pass by the river bank will not find them.

Thinking of this, Bai Wanwan felt a little helpless.

"Don't worry, it won't take too much of your time."

When Bai Wanwan was worried about Metvia, a voice suddenly came from above her head.

Who is this?

Bai Wanwan was startled, and suddenly became uneasy.

Someone talking in her head?Is it a human or a ghost?

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just saw that you didn't know anything, so I came out to explain the situation to you." The voice seemed to be able to see through Bai Wanwan's thinking, and laughed twice, and said, "You Right now, you are at the moment of accepting the inheritance from Mahama Yuli Raja, and logically speaking, you should have been able to get this inheritance long ago, but because of the problem of your soul, it has been delayed until now."

The owner of this voice sounded like a man with a good temper. He seemed to know a lot of things, and he showed no malice towards Bai Wanwan.

There was an inexplicably convincing ability in his words, which quickly made her let her guard down, and turned her attention to the so-called inheritance.

The phagocytosis ability that Bai Wanwan could stimulate before was passively triggered after she faced death directly. It can only be regarded as the body's self-protection mechanism, allowing her to learn it without a teacher.

Later, although she was able to use the devouring ability, she did not get the completely correct exercises. The ordinary demon cultivation exercises were not particularly suitable for her. They could only help her suppress the negative emotions absorbed for a while, and could not be used effectively at all.

As a human being, it is impossible for Metvia to fully understand the cultivation system and skills of the demon god, so naturally he cannot see Bai Wanwan's problem.

In the past month of fear, Bai Wanwan suffered from the distress caused by the devouring because she was worried about Metvia.

"A few hours ago, you devoured the vitality and energy of an ordinary human race. The energy he brought to you was pure and bright, completely different from the dirty energy that demons and negative emotions can bring to you. The voice explained, "The pain you suffered just now is the rejection reaction caused by it."

This principle is easy to explain, and Bai Wanwan understood it almost instantly.

She who has always only absorbed dark things, is like a vegetarian who usually only eats vegetables and refuses to eat meat dishes, but she absorbs the vitality of that knight, like a vegetarian who has been eating greasy meat dishes for many years Immediately cause severe physical discomfort.

"So you have to remember that you must not absorb anything other than those filthy things, which will have a great impact on your body." Seeing that Bai Wanwan understood her words, the voice continued to remind her kindly.

It's just that after hearing his words, Bai Wanwan, who had no doubts in her heart, suddenly felt something was wrong.

She thought of the rumors about the God Eater she had heard from Metvia before, and thought that the reason why Maha Mayuli Raja was enshrined as a demon god by the demons was because he was jealous of the light and eventually devoured the god of light, Let the demons feel that he is on the side of the dark camp.

If Mahamayali Raja's ability, like hers, can only devour darkness, then he should also know this is the case.

She devoured an ordinary knight, and the pain was already inhumane. After Mahamayuli Raja devoured a god, how could she still survive?

No matter how jealous he is, it's impossible for him to seek his own death, right?

These doubts kept circling in Bai Wanwan's mind, making her unable to figure it out.

"I know you have doubts. I'm just sorry, I can't tell you directly about many things because of the rules."

What Bai Wanwan didn't expect was that before she could figure out how to ask, the voice had already sensed her confusion.

"Because you devoured the wrong energy, the inheritance has now been fully activated, and I just temporarily locked your consciousness here in order to help you eliminate the pain in your body... But it's okay, you will enter the inheritance soon , into the memory of Mahama Yuri Raja.”

I don't know what came to mind, his tone suddenly became extremely serious, and he paused every word, as if exhausting all his strength, he was able to say the following words:

"Before entering, please remember that you are not wrong, and neither is Mahamayuri Raja... Don't trust the words of other people in your memory too much."

The tragedy of Mahamayuri Raja I was related to many factors. Although his personal character was one reason, it may not be without other factors.

After he finished speaking, before Bai Wanwan could understand what he said, the power of inheritance roared in and snatched Bai Wanwan's soul from here.

She felt a white light rush towards her quickly, sucking her consciousness into it instantly.

Like a pebble accidentally falling into the abyss, Bai Wanwan's consciousness sank rapidly, and finally sank into the river at the bottom of the abyss without even breaking a wave.

And that river is the memory of Mahama Yuli Raja.

When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer Bai Wanwan, but "he", Mahama Yuli Raja.

Without hesitation, he directly stepped into the memory of thousands of years ago.

-

"Maha, why did you do something wrong again!?"

When Bai Wanwan completely entered the first scene of memories, the first thing that appeared in front of her was a sharp scolding.

When she was in the inheritance memory, Bai Wanwan was possessed by Mahama Yuli Raja. She could not move her body freely and could only passively observe everything around her through Mahama Yuli Raja's perspective.

At the beginning of the memory, Mahamayuri Raja was still in the form of a bird and had not yet cultivated into a human form.

After hearing the voice, Mahamayuli Raja raised his head slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

Through his perspective, Bai Wanwan could see an extremely beautiful woman walking towards him quickly.

This woman has long black hair and a pair of black eyes. She has a beautiful appearance. Apart from her temperament, she is [-]% similar to Bai Wanwan.

It's just that her demeanor is dignified and her manner is elegant. In terms of bearing alone, she is a few blocks away from Bai Wanwan.

At this time, the woman's face was extremely angry, as if Mahamayuli Raja had just done something unreasonable: "No, I have to deal with you...you are really hopeless The medicine is gone, if you continue like this, you will be the same as the prophecy!"

She clearly felt that when the woman said the word "prophecy", Mahamayuri Raja's tail retracted without leaving a trace.

"That's my mother," came a man's deep voice from nowhere, "She believed in the God of Light, and thought that I would be paranoid and dark like the prophecy said, and eventually walk on the path of devouring God. "

His tone was flat, without any emotion at all.

"She is actually a very gentle person. She loves me very much. Even if she believes in the prophecy, she seldom really kills me."

Therefore, the rare scene of Maha's mother's anger remained in his few remaining memories because of its deep impression.

Bai Wanwan knew that it was Mahamayuri Raja who was talking to her, explaining the scene before her.

It turned out that when Mahamayuri Raja was born, was it prophesied that he would devour gods?

And this prophecy, now it seems, has come true.

"Later, she died because of me, and her people were afraid of me, so they imprisoned me in a dungeon on the dark side of the mainland."

As the words of Mahama Yuli Raja fell, Bai Wanwan only felt that the scene in front of him changed, and the place of memory changed to another place——

She saw a very dark and small room.

At this time, Mahamayuri Raja was still in the form of a bird, but now he has grown up a lot. Although he has stayed in a dark place for a long time, he has beautiful tail feathers.

Surrounding him were the corpses of many poisonous insects. During these days of living in the dungeon, he did not have enough food, so he could only feed on these insects carrying all kinds of dark emotions.

Bai Wanwan recognized one of the insects as "Nightmare Insect". It is good at weaving nightmares and lives on the fear that people have when they have nightmares. It is a unique insect on the dark side of the mainland.

According to the legends collected by Metvia, God Eater Maha has gradually acquired the ability to swallow all dark and filth because of eating such insects for a long time.

"I was born able to absorb the negative emotions in other people's bodies, and I was also affected by these emotions. When I was young, I never knew my ability. I only thought that my nature was as dark as the prophecy said."

This is so similar to Iris, the original owner of Bai Wanwan's body.

Isn't it the same for Iris, who has been absorbing the negative emotions of the people around her in a daze, and finally became withdrawn and vicious, and paid her own life for it.

"Through these days in the dungeon, I found that I like to eat these bugs that feed on people's negative emotions, because they can make me stronger and stronger," Maha continued, "It is because of them that I can It made me aware of my devouring ability, and by observing them, I created a technique to balance the emotions in my body."

It turns out that Maha's ability is not as in the legend, it is acquired.

By observing these monster insects that also devour negative emotions but are not affected by them, he discovered the unusualness of his body and created his unique cultivation method.

"You may have known about the later things through legends. I cultivated a human form and escaped from the dungeon."

Seeing that Bai Wanwan realized something, the scene changed, leaving the dark and damp dungeon, and turned to an extremely magnificent location.

This is the Temple of Light.

Thousands of years ago, before most of the gods fell, there were many similar "temples" and churches on the Eswino continent.

It is said that in the Werther Empire at that time, most common people believed in the God of Light unconditionally, and the theocracy of the Holy See was even powerful enough to rival the imperial power at one point.

It's a pity that as time passed, the gods fell one by one, and the temple and the Holy See could only be forced to withdraw from the stage of history, completely reduced to the existence of legends in the mouths of troubadours.

From Maha's perspective, Bai Wanwan knew that he was pretending to be an ordinary human race and making a pilgrimage to Eswino.

He knelt down together with countless civilians around him, and poured out his wishes to the statue of the God of Light on the high platform, with a sincere appearance, but no awe in his heart.

"I came to Eswino, and I wanted to know what the god I was destined to devour looked like." Maha said.

He had just escaped from the dungeon, and he had no one to rely on, no friends, and no understanding of the outside world.He resents his original clansmen, and has no interest in anything in the world. He only wants to know things about his own destiny, such as prophecies.

It is in line with his character to be able to pretend to be a human race to go on a pilgrimage.

"Through the god statue filled with the power of countless people's beliefs, I know that the God of Light should be bright and powerful, completely different from the filthy monsters I can swallow, and if I swallow him, I will definitely die in pain. In the power of light."

What Maha said matched up with Bai Wanwan's previous doubts.

Her devouring ability is inherited from Maha. She devours the vitality of normal people and can faint in pain. If Maha goes to swallow the God of Light, she will definitely die without a whole body.

And Maha obviously realized this too.

"This is the first time I have doubts about my own existence," he said.

"At that time, I always regarded myself as a lowly monster, thinking that I was no different from those nightmare bugs, thinking that I should have such a paranoid and crazy personality... It is obvious that my mother was born a phoenix bird bathed in divine light, Is not it?"

Maha's tone, which had remained unchanged all along, suddenly changed at this moment.

"But, if I'm really the lowly monster I think, why did the God Devouring Prophecy fall on me?"

"I only feed on devil insects, and I have not received systematic cultivation teachings. The exercises are all created by coincidence... Where did I come from? The ability will not only allow me not to be robbed by the infinitely virtuous God of Light If you kill him, can you still successfully devour him?"

"Bai Wanwan, tell me, in your opinion, what is the essence of this devouring ability?"

Caught off guard by the roll call, Bai Wanwan was startled, and at a loss, she didn't know what to reply.

She didn't know how to answer this question.

In fact, she didn't think seriously about her abilities at all.

She uses the devouring ability, just as a weapon, not a part of herself; she doesn't like this ability, the education she received in the past made her think that this ability belongs to the "evil power" type, and it's all villains own.But in order to protect herself and Metvia, she had to use it.

"I...I don't know."

After a while, she whispered.

Hearing her reply, Mahamayuri Raja did not blame her for it.

He sighed and continued, "I didn't know when I was your age."

"But later, after I had the merit to be able to fight against the God of Light, when I succeeded in devouring God and devouring him, I understood."

"Bai Wanwan, please remember that your ability is not evil, but supremely holy; you devour darkness, not to become darkness."

"You devour people's negative emotions, although you will be affected by them, but they can get rid of the darkness and come out of the shadows; you devour the magic energy of monsters and destroy their vitality. It seems cruel, but it can be eliminated. Ghosts, poisons, diseases."

"The essence of your ability is purification."

-

When Bai Wanwan's body was enveloped by the light from the golden ball, Metvia felt uneasy for a moment, but soon, the light disappeared.

Bai Wanwan returned to her original state, but her complexion improved a lot, her originally pale face became more rosy, and her cold body gradually became warmer.

Although Metvia didn't know the situation, she also knew that Bai Wanwan probably wouldn't have any health problems now.

That night, she spent the night in the water with the unconscious Bai Wanwan. At dawn the next day, Metvia took her and fled to the west, where the Demon Realm is located.

The demons originally lived in the dark side of the Eswino continent, and they could sneak/transfer to the front of Eswino through some means similar to the teleportation array, and compete with them for land and resources.

After arriving in Eswino, the demons will not live with ordinary people.Most of them choose to follow the devil to live in a fixed place.There are usually many teleportation arrays leading to the dark side of the mainland, which can facilitate their quick travel between Eswino and their hometown.

The Demon Realm refers to the places where the Demon Race lives in Eswino.

At the beginning, because of Bai Wanwan's coma, Metvia walked very slowly. Fortunately, Bai Wanwan had already prepared a lot of food, clothes and money in the storage ring, which can be used by the two of them in the wilderness. Survive.

And Bai Wanwan woke up a week later, on a certain morning on the seventh day.

She opened her eyes just like that suddenly, with a lightened body and the huge inheritance and exercises in her mind.

During these comatose days, she was not all looking at Maha's memories, most of the time she spent cleaning her body.

She used the exercises taught by Maha to dredge the meridians and get rid of the magic energy and magic power she had practiced before.Before Metvia asked her to learn the magic skills, it was actually wrong in essence.

Although Maha was abandoned in the dark side of the mainland when he was young, he was with the demons, but he was not a monster, and he was not suitable for practicing demons' skills.

His mother is a descendant of one of the rumored followers of the God of Light. She is a phoenix born full of light. Even though his innate devouring ability makes his personality weird and extreme, he is essentially the same as the God of Light. There is a huge gap between monsters.

Previously, Bai Wanwan had no progress in cultivating the Demon Clan's skills. After practicing, she could barely make progress by relying on the magic power of devouring the Demon Clan.

She can barely cultivate, probably because of the annexation of devouring ability, but in this way, she will still be affected by those negative emotions from time to time.

And the exercises taught by Maha can make her completely get rid of negative emotions, and gain strength while eliminating the darkness.

...It's just that the demons didn't know the situation, and thought that Maha was of the same kind as them. After Maha succeeded in devouring the gods, they actually enshrined him as a demon god.

However, regarding the reason and specific circumstances of Maha wanting to devour God with his life, etc., for some reason, Maha avoided the past, did not tell her, and did not show her the memories.

The reason of his death and his final fate became a complete mystery, which remained in Bai Wanwan's heart.

And before she entered the inheritance, the voice that forcibly retained her soul and helped her restore her body made Bai Wanwan even more vigilant.

That voice was obviously not Maha, but he also called himself "Bai Wanwan" instead of the original owner's name "Iris".He is also fully aware of the abnormality of his own soul, and may even know that she was actually reborn in this body.

But at present, she can barely find out that the strange man's voice is related to the little golden ball hanging around her neck.It was specially reserved for her by the original owner's mother when she abandoned her.

Bai Wanwan is an orphan in modern times. She grew up in an orphanage, and she doesn't know the situation of her parents.Now it seems that after a lot of experience, she also began to regard the mother in Iris's memory as her own mother in her heart.

Since her mother left it for her, she didn't care that he was kind to her, and even helped her.

...It's just that if she knew that there were people in the ball, she would never have made this ball into a necklace and hung it on her chest!

She felt more and more that her time travel might not have been an accident, and the appearance of the original owner, Iris, who was almost indistinguishable from her own, could be regarded as a hint.

When Bai Wanwan felt that her body was almost adjusted, she quickly broke free from her body restraints, regained consciousness, and continued to flee westward with Metvia.

With the new technique, naturally the darker the place, the stronger she will be, and she is looking forward to it.

In this way, they headed west all the way. Although they experienced many twists and turns during the period, in the end, the two escaped there safe and sound.

The author has something to say:

This chapter mainly introduces Bai Wanwan's ability

This is probably the reason why she didn't become the Demon King in the end, but Metvia became the Demon King...
