Devil two hundred and five

In a remote and deserted church.

Minato was slightly surprised, and then suppressed the expression on his face.Although the appearance of King of Angels Aitalon was sudden, it was not surprising when one thought about it carefully.

God's covenant said: The holy angel lifted up its throne, located at the place closest to the Lord, and it looked at the earth with mercy.The sky is its book, and it writes words in stars.

The holy angel here naturally refers to Aitalong. Although there are many disputes among sects in this passage, the same opinion is that Aitalong is an angel of mercy, and it watches all the sufferings in the world.

Then, in the present world where the Demon King has come, it is normal for his relationship with Pingke to be exposed.Minato thought calmly, this day came sooner than he thought, but he seemed to have been waiting for this day for many years.

Minato didn't seem to notice the resemblance between himself and Aitalong, and stretched out his hand to each other: "Hi, it's the first time we meet, I'm Minato Hein."

Aitalong raised his head and stared at Minato. His pair of blue eyes reflected the luster of metal. At first glance, he looked a bit terrifying that didn't match his appearance: "Hello... Although it's not the first time for me. See you once."

Minatoquan pretended not to hear what Aitalong said, and asked straight to the point: "Is that unicorn your pet...do you want to see me?"

Minato's official tone made Aitalong slightly helpless, and it sighed: "You don't have to be so on guard, no matter what, I will not be your enemy. You don't have to worry, I will deprive you The identity of the brave."

Seeing that the other party lightly stated the incident he was most worried about, Minato still didn't say a word. He was not sure whether Aitalong's words were a gesture of goodwill or a hidden threat, so he could only say directly: "I see, And then? What did you bring me here for?"

"I really don't know where there is a problem that caused your character." Aitalong shook his head and sighed, "I just told you the truth about the devil and the brave, the truth about the existence of this system .”

"The light of the world gave birth to the angel Atalon, and the darkness of the world gave birth to the devil. The meaning of the existence of the devil is to destroy the world, rule it, and destroy it. Of course, this kind of thing is evil for us. , but for the Demon King himself, it is not entirely the case. Just like people have life and death, the world also has birth and withering, the existence of the Demon King is to end the life of the world. He is the end of all things."

Minato remained silent. He keenly noticed that Aitalong used a nickname like us.At the same time, the evil used by Etalon once caused a subtle discomfort in his heart.

"...The existence of the brave is the corresponding setting that I use to stop the self-destruction system of the devil. The eight sets of sacred tools are the weapons I created. Even you are my product."

"Product? What do you mean?" Minato frowned.

"Aren't you surprised? Why is there such a voice in your mind, telling you that it is your mission to become a brave man?" Aitalong said flatly, and Minato's face changed drastically. He finally found that the other party's voice was very familiar. It's just that the voice in my head is more mechanical and cold.

"Under normal circumstances, the existence I created to interfere with the human world is a princess... a girl who was carried down by an angel and adopted by the royal family. She is kind and beautiful, but she is peeped by the dark. This is the previous script." Etalon said quietly , "The only difference this time is that I set you as a male, and you have the dual identities of 'brave' and 'princess'."

Minato was silent for a while. Although there were still blind spots in Aitalong's words, it explained why Minato had no memory of ten years old—because his actual age was ten years younger than what he thought he was. At the same time, his mind There is also a reason for the mysterious voice in the movie.He opened his mouth, his voice was terribly astringent: "So?"

"I want to entrust you to kill the Demon King."

"No..." Words were faster than thought, and Minato subconsciously pulled out the sword, and the sword of the Holy Angel came out of its sheath with a clang, making a small beeping sound.

Aitalong stared at Minato, the reflection of the golden sword in its pupils.

"You don't know anything yet... This kind of ignorance is really enviable." Aitalong sighed, "I don't need to harm you, as an archangel, I don't need to use such despicable means, just ...You don't have enough understanding of the truth of the world."

"... Forget it, there is no evidence for words, you can only understand it when you experience it yourself. I hope you will not regret it like Mei's incident."

Minato's pupils shrank suddenly. He was prepared in his heart. There was a gap in strength between himself and the King of Angels, but when he really faced it, the gap was beyond his imagination.Terrified, almost unable to move, Minato watched as Aitalong's fingers lightly tapped on his head.

... If the other party harbored any killing intent, Minato's head would have fallen to the ground at this very moment.

"This pair of angel wings can protect you from fatal attacks and survive twice. I think that twice is enough for you to understand what kind of existence the devil king is..."

……

Minato squinted his eyes, the sunlight made him feel a little uncomfortable.The conversation with King of Angels Aitaron seems to have happened yesterday, but what Aitaron hinted at has already happened.

Until now, Minato still couldn't believe that Pink would raise the sickle and aim it at his chest.He turned his head and looked at Pink in disbelief.Pink looks very different from the past, the previous ignorance disappeared, replaced by a vicious confident.

...Is this the nature of the Demon King?

Minato opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to call Pink's name.But the other party pulled the sickle out like a prank, blood gushed out, and those unspeakable syllables turned into a series of bloody coughs.Minato felt a coolness on his forehead, and he knew that one of the winged emblems had disappeared.

"It's really worthy of being the host of... Aitalong, her level of human creation has risen again."

Pink pulled out the sickle, Minato's body was surrounded by the sickle, and he knelt directly in front of Pink.Pink raised the scythe again, this time aiming at the neck——in this case, even the angel crest cannot save Minato.

"Block!" The sickle sparked a string of sparks on the shield.Pink looked at the shield, his expression darkened instantly, "This is..."

There was a phoenix's clear cry, and Minato was picked up by the waist.He coughed twice, feeling that all the blood in his body had flowed out in just a few seconds.The lack of oxygen made it take him a while before he realized that he had been rescued by Pink's father, Master Geralt.

But why did he appear here, the shield that can block the devil's sickle...

Minato paused his eyes on the face of the middle-aged man standing behind Geralt for a long time before digging out this man from the depths of his memory.He once had a relationship with this person, and it was he who held up the shield to avoid a confrontation between countries when the prince of Mélière proposed to Helen.

He is a priest?

"Don't think about it anymore, unless you want to waste another life... You know, the coat of arms corresponds to the wings of Aitaron, and every time it is consumed, Aitaron will lose a wing and grow it back It’s just a few years from now.”

"You...how..." What Minato wanted to ask was why Geralt knew about Aitalong.

But Geralt obviously misunderstood Minato's meaning, and muttered softly: "...who cares about the destruction of the world, alas, who told the devil to be reincarnated as my son, if my son gets into trouble, only my father can do it Wipe your ass."

That's right, Minato thought vaguely, the blood loss made him unable to maintain a clear consciousness any longer.He tilted his head and fell into a long darkness.

……

Yes, that's how I was injured and rescued like this.This kind of cognition made Minato somewhat disheartened. He arched his body and surrounded himself with a quilt—the so-called fate, is it really...even if he struggled, he still went back to the old way?

Minato didn't know, but somehow he didn't want to admit defeat to Etalon.

Clearly, clearly only one step away from victory.

Is it really as it says, that I have no understanding of the real world?

"Wake up...don't stay in bed."

The gray-haired man said sarcastically.He sat at the desk, flipping through an old magic book, and the sunlight flooded the room through the windows.Minato got up from the bed in a slightly unhappy way, with a heavy bandage wrapped around his chest, and he still felt a dull pain during the action.

"...What's the matter with your hair?" Minato himself was also surprised that he chose such a strange topic.Then he realized that he really didn't want to talk about what happened before.

"Oh, a little accident."

Geralt said lightly, he raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.At this time, a fire phoenix covered with flames flew in from the window.Someone reminded Geralt: "... Fire Phoenix seems to have brought mail back."

It was only then that Minato noticed that there was a third person in the room, it was the Vulcan priest, and he didn't bring the shield with him.Minato's pupils shrank slightly. Although Minato's strength had declined due to Minato's injury, it still reflected the opponent's strength.

When... this world became full of strong people?

The two people present obviously didn't realize the shock in Minato's heart.Geralt took the package from under Huofeng. Huofeng uttered a clear cry obediently, jumped onto the railing, and tilted his head to watch the master's actions.Geralt stared at the words on the package for a long time before saying: "...It is from the God of Cupid, to Minato, may you get out of the haze in your life."

While unpacking, Geralt said, "Tsk, when Helen and I were in a relationship, why didn't we get this kind of treatment..." He stopped, and inside the thick kraft paper, there was a hand-sized animal lying cross-legged. Crystal elk, it opened its eyes and looked at the three people present, it turned out to be a living creature.

Minato blinked his eyes, he really didn't know what was the purpose of the God of Cupid in giving him this elk.Geralt has already found the attached manual, and he is reading it out in a strange tone: "The true elk, this is a mythical animal in love, it can tell whether a person's words are true or false, it keeps silent to the truth, and when it barks, it means This is a lie, if you call it twice, it means that it is outrageously false, and if you keep calling it, it means you can tell such a lie, it makes people laugh out loud..."

"I hereby present it to Minato. Suffering is always temporary, but the brilliance of love will shine on you forever."

"Sounds interesting." Geralt put the elk in his palm, "Do you want to test it?"

"Try to tell a lie first." Priest Vulcan suggested.

Geralt touched his chin and tested, "I am God."

"Yo!"

"Well... I was once a god."

This time the elk was silent.

"It looks quite accurate." Geralt said lazily, but he didn't know that his words set off a huge storm in Minato's heart.Geralt turned his head to look at the Vulcan priest, and suggested, "Would you like to try it too..."

"I'm not very interested in it, forget it, I won't disturb your chat when I go out."

"Yo!"

"...I'm going down to chat with pretty beauties. You know that ancient immortals like us are always very interested in young and beautiful girls."

"YoYo!"

"Well, I'm gay and I'm not interested in pretty girls. It's not that I'm not interested in this truth elk, it's just that I'm not interested in being its experimental subject... I won't go downstairs, I'll just lie outside the door Listen to your conversation and turn it into a joke around the world."

Minato: "..."

Geralt: "...What should I do if I feel so ashamed when I think that you are my kind?"

The pastor clicked his tongue: "If you have the ability, you can say in front of this elk, compared to mine, your behavior has nothing to do with boredom?"

Geralt was strangely silent for a moment: "... Hurry up and get out!"

Seeing that Vulcan Priest had rolled out obediently, Geralt looked at Minato again.Unexpectedly, Minato asked before him: "What's the matter with your hair?"

"...No big deal." Geralt replied subconsciously.

"Yo!"

"I've convinced you. Well, I tried to revive Pink's mother before, but I was overwhelmed by the god of the underworld and lost a lot of vitality. Now, it's all right, and I sent Helen back." When referring to that When he mentioned the name, Geralt still couldn't help showing a gentle look on his face.

"About the Demon King and the Hero...is it really destiny?"

Geralt squinted at Minato for a while, and finally replied: "There is no fate... To put it bluntly, it is just a game of our group of immortals. There are many solutions to a problem, and Etalon chooses This one, so many things are running according to its will... It's like you want an ant to go somewhere, and if it goes far, you can catch it back at any time and force it to go to the only place. The ending...that's what Etalon calls fate."

"The difference is that at our stage, there is no need to use such a violent act of 'catching'... By the way, don't put me and Aitalong on the same side. I have been a mortal for a long time."

"Yo."

"Well, it's only been more than 30 years..." Geralt gritted his teeth, gnashing his teeth at the elk.

Minato's heart sank, and he was immersed in his own thoughts for a while, without making a sound for a long time.

Geralt interrupted Minato's thoughts: "What's your plan?... Now there are not a few people who know the identity of the Demon King. If you can't perform your duties as a hero, I have no doubt that the Church of Light will replace you. .”

"...Isn't it Etalon?"

"Atalon has great confidence in you." Geralt recalled, "She never does anything she is not sure of, let alone sacrifice her own pair of wings for useless work."

Minato couldn't help being silent for a while when he heard that.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said in a very obscure voice: "If, there is such a day, I will... I will cut Pink from the devil, the devil, with my own hands..."

Before he finished his final words, the elk cried out:

"Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo..."

At that moment, Minato, whose true inner thoughts were exposed, became furious: "Don't stop me, I'm going to hack this thing."

"No, I still need to borrow it." Vulcan Priest hurried in from the door and blocked Minato's attack, "I still want to use it to determine a person's mind!"

"Get out of the way!"

"No flash!"

Looking at the two people making noise in the room, Geralt couldn't help but smiled, and picked up the ancient magic book in his hand again, but the smile on his brow and eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Well, son, your father can only help you here."
