Bride of the Great Demon King

"The birth of every evil creature requires the price of pure love."

……

Early in the morning, an uninvited visitor ushered in the gravel town.

Seeing him in the half-monthly market, the birds and beasts scattered.People ran home and closed the doors and windows tightly. Even the door of the Red Rose Hotel, which is open all day and never closes, put up a temporary closure sign.Only the bravest dare hide behind their windows and peek through the cracks at the lone figures walking the empty streets.

The dark brown hooded cloak tightly covered the short figure, and a thick scarf of the same color wrapped around the face completely concealed the face of the future man.The long oak stick in his hand poked to the ground one after another, making a dull crashing sound.This small sound was like a death knell from hell, hitting the hearts of everyone who heard it.At the top of the wooden staff is a skeleton, which is different from ordinary dry bones. This deformed guy is pale green. Two vines protrude from the skull's eyes, swinging up and down with the wooden staff's ups and downs.

There is no doubt that this is an ascetic monk of the Epidemic Cult.

Legend has it that these ascetic monks grew up soaked in the poison taken from the sick, which made them surprisingly resistant to the disease.They wandered around to rescue the dying patients who were tortured by the epidemic.But the premise is that the patient must donate all his family property and wholeheartedly convert to the epidemic religion that enshrines poisonous angels.No one can tell where this weird belief comes from, but even the most powerful Church of Light on the mainland dare not easily offend these ascetics.

Although the ascetic monks of the Epidemic Cult save people from fire and water, they themselves are regarded as symbols of the plague.Just like vultures that can predict death, they can often arrive at the place where the plague occurred in advance, and some people even think that the plague was spread through their hands.

People watched the man wrapped in the cloak walk slowly up the mountain through the town with horrified eyes, and they were grateful that his footsteps did not stop in the town.Seeing the figure representing death gradually disappearing, the people couldn't help muttering, where is this ascetic monk going?

There are not many houses left in the mountain behind Broken Stone Town, but there is a paradise for the legendary harpies.This evil creature makes its lair on the cliffs and roars in the mountains in search of prey.With their inaudible voices, they seduce human girls to become their dishes.

There have been several rare blizzards in a row this year, presumably because of food shortages, and crazy harpy beasts attacked the nearby villages in groups.Just two days ago, an unfortunate girl in the village was snatched by those big black birds.There is only one way to wait for her. Flesh is the ration of evil creatures, and bones are used as decorations in their lairs.The girl's parents, eyes swollen from crying, have chosen a resting place for their eldest daughter in the town cemetery, though no bones are destined to be buried there.

Could it be that a terrible plague is about to break out on the other side of the mountain?Although it is difficult for ordinary people to cross this mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles and is infested with countless poisonous snakes and monsters, maybe it is nothing to the ascetic monks of the Epidemic Cult?

Shrewd businessmen began to calculate what impact the plague would have on the prices of mountain products this year.But the timid mayor has already packed his bags and is going to avoid the limelight at the house of his son-in-law who lives in the city. God knows how far this plague will spread!

Bairiel was oblivious to the confusion he had caused as he passed by.

He was just in a hurry, and it would be a disaster if he couldn't reach his destination before dark.The power of the Great Demon King can only last for one day, and he must find what he is looking for before the sun rises tomorrow morning.

Turning the stick in his hand, the boy observed the surrounding environment through the vines growing out of the skull's eyes.This was a small gift given to him by the Great Demon King after he lost his weak eyesight again, together with the suit on his body.The Great Demon King explained that this attire can keep the world away from him, thus avoiding unnecessary troubles.And the magic cast on the stick allows him to see through the eyeballs the size of fish roes hidden in the vines.Although this is a world with only miserable green, it is better than invisible.Along the way, the young man couldn't help turning the wooden stick to observe the new things he had never seen before. It wasn't until he found that the sun was setting that he realized that his time was running out.

I looked around again.Good, no one around.

Bairiel unbuttoned the cloak, took off the scarf and cloak, folded them, and hid them behind a big rock.He picked up the stick and floated up the mountain.

Yes, float away.

Baliel didn't have to walk at all, but "walked" through Gravel because she needed signposts to find her way.His current body can float and pass through obstacles because——

He is a ghost.

Perhaps it is not accurate to say that it is a ghost, and Bailiel does not know how to describe his current state.In his impression, only a person whose body has died can be called a ghost, and his body is still hovering between life and death.

To this day, he can't help but blush when he thinks of the hot lips of the Great Demon King that night.Bailiel secretly made up his mind that he must have a good taste of himself after returning to his body. Why does the Great Demon King make him feel like he is a delicacy?

But what happened after the intense verbal entanglement was completely beyond the boy's expectations.

The Great Demon King let go of his lips, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and stretched out his right hand.The nail on his right index finger suddenly became as long as a palm.With a slight movement of the sharp nails, Bailiel suddenly smelled an unusually mellow smell.Why does it feel a bit like the red wine I drank just now?

Just as he was thinking wildly, the Great Demon King slowly raised his left arm, still muttering something.Something fell drop by drop on the boy's cheeks.Stick out your tongue and carefully roll it in, it's blood!

Bairiel's eyes widened, what dripped on him was the blood of the Great Demon King!

For a moment, a monstrous anger suddenly surged in his heart, and Bailie wanted to stop the big devil's actions. He wanted to rush forward and hug the big devil's injured arm, but his body suddenly became completely uncontrollable.The fingers that obviously wanted to cover the wound opened the wound a little more, and the lips couldn't help but moved to the bleeding place, sucking desperately.The Great Demon King moved slightly, but did not stop Bairiel's behavior, allowing more and more sweet liquid to pour into his throat.Bairiel was so anxious that he was about to cry, he didn't want to see the big devil bleeding, not at all!

A burning sensation suddenly came from the right calf, and something broke out of his body.Bairiel screamed, and his only vision suddenly went away, and the last thing left in his eyes was the big devil holding a twisting long thing in his hand.

"Well……"

When Bairiel woke up from a deep sleep, he found that his body seemed lighter than usual.He sat up with a whoosh, but his nose slammed into something hard.Stretching out his fingers to touch it, there seemed to be a circular wall in front of him. Bailiel turned around and found himself trapped in... a chimney?

"My little bride, I'm sorry that I had to restrict your freedom a little bit. Even I can't touch you for a long time without hurting your soul. So the Soul Refining Bottle is really a Good props, I can even see your current appearance through the special glass." Because through the glass, the voice of the Great Demon King seemed a little hazy, and there were some echoes.

"Soul? Am I dead?" Bairiel pouted.Although there is nothing wrong with death, the dead should not be able to eat that delicious cheese, right?

"No, it's very lucky that you didn't die in this accident. I have already given a small punishment to the guy who disturbed our wedding. It's a pity that his body is not here, otherwise I must let him cause the demon king Pay the price for your anger!" Hearing the slow voice of the Great Demon King, Bailiel couldn't help but tremble.

"Then what's wrong with me now?" The boy's face was full of doubts, how could he suddenly become a ghost if he wasn't dead?

There was a knocking sound next to my ear, like the sound of fingers hitting the glass bottle wall.The Great Demon King pondered for a long time before sighing quietly: "The ceremony was interrupted. Your body is still undergoing the baptism of darkness, but your soul has escaped due to the vibration. I have to say that this situation is very rare, The soul of an ordinary person rarely loses contact with the body, but your soul was bounced back when I tried to put it back. Of course, this can actually be regarded as your luck. There are not many people who can survive the baptism of darkness , but I’m afraid you can’t find one among a million people. Now our problem is that you must return to your body before sunrise tomorrow. Otherwise, your soul attributes and body Becoming unmatched, the soul will permanently lose its carrier, wander endlessly in the world, and finally become crazy because of the long loneliness."

Bailiel sat there blankly, and spent a minute digesting the words of the Great Demon King. "Then how can I return to the body? Even you can't help it?" In his impression, the Great Demon King is undoubtedly the most powerful person, if even he can't do anything... The boy suddenly found that he had begun to miss The warm embrace of the Great Demon King.

"I can help you make a solid soul potion, which will stick your soul back together like glue. But I still lack one ingredient, an ingredient that only the world on the ground can have." The big devil stuck his finger into the bottle, although Knowing that Bailiel wouldn't feel anything if he did this, he still stroked his hair.

"But the good news is..." The Great Demon King chuckled, "The gate here can only block me, but not your entry and exit. Maybe it's because I didn't expect that I would let you out! I will use mine The power teleports you to the place closest to the target, and I can only ask you to help retrieve that thing. Please don’t forget that you must come back before sunrise tomorrow. Your body is waiting for you. I, too, am waiting here you."

Then came the simple preparations. The Great Demon King told Bairiel what he was looking for and how to get it.Before leaving, the boy finally saw his body lying in the black crystal coffin with the enchanted wooden staff.That was the first time he saw his own face, and it felt both novel and familiar.With a delicate and thin face, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, because the eyes are closed, no natural defects can be seen.

The next moment, he saw the face of the Great Demon King.The boy had never seen such a beautiful person in his life. After a brief shock, he searched for all the beautiful words he knew, but found that any of them were so pale in front of such a face.

The Great Demon King is really nice!he thought blankly.

There was indescribable tenderness in the long and narrow eyes of the Demon King. He moved closer to Bairiel, gave him a touchless kiss, then pulled the hood on the cloak and tied the scarf for him.

The light and shadow were shattered, and when the vision gradually recovered, Bailiel found that he had left the palace in hell and came to a small hillside.

"I'm waiting for you here too."

The young man took a deep breath, recalling every subtle expression of the Great Demon King when he spoke, as if he wanted to draw strength from this sentence.Finally, he floated up the rock wall, and a strange whistling sound passed by his ears.

He saw his destination——

Lair of the Harpy.
