Author: Nero 2077

This war started far earlier than any other.

Looking at the long sword in her hand, a trace of surprise flashed in Eluma's eyes, but she hid it well. Now a year has passed since the Demon King first appeared. During this year, the Demon King has been alone.

Destroying various buildings and facilities in various areas. The sense of oppression brought by the demon king's powerful strength and strange abilities made humans unite early and form a human coalition.

but···

Eluma calmly handed the long sword to Zhou Li. It was a weapon she found that had been used by the Demon King, or in other words, something that the Demon King had touched. Unlike several other Demon Kings, in this life

The Demon King's cunningness really made her a little helpless. In other words, Eluma had already doubted whether this Demon King could also retain the memory before the restart.

Somehow, according to common sense, the Demon King in this life should not be that powerful at the beginning. Based on the experience of previous + several lives, the Demon King's power increases based on the number of monsters she infects. Therefore, in the very beginning,

The power of the devil will not be as devastating as in the previous life.

However, the strength of the Demon King in this life has been ridiculously strong from the beginning, especially the weird black mist, which will be turned into the opponent's servant once it is contaminated. But what puzzles Eluma the most is that this Demon King clearly

With this powerful black mist, she rarely infects other people on a large scale in crowded places. Instead, she infects citizens everywhere in a weird dot-like form.

This is very strange, or it is inconsistent with common sense. According to normal principles, if there is a large-scale AOE like Black Mist, if you don’t put one in the crowd to play Zombie Rising, you will not be able to play it, but this Demon King showed

The wisdom and fighting consciousness that he has shown are ridiculously strong, which is very contradictory. It is as incomprehensible as someone holding a thousand-year-old meteorite iron and finding an ancient craftsman to make a teeth pick.

but···

Looking at the long sword stained with black mist in her hand, a trace of hesitation flashed in Eluma's eyes when she returned home. After a while, she said to Zhou Li beside her: "Zhou Li, can you feel this sword?"

After hearing Eluma's words, Zhou Li, who was studying spells at the side, put down the scroll in his hand. After taking the long sword, he began to use his will to sense the long sword used by the Demon King.

"Hmm... It's still those black mist, some weird magic energy."

Because he is a mage, Zhou Li's ability to perceive elements such as magic energy is much stronger than Eluma's, so he quickly discovered some weird magic energy reactions in this long sword.

"Magic power?"

After hearing these two words, Eluma's reaction was a little strange. She seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked: "What a strange method!?"

"that is···"

Zhou Li was hesitant. He had never seen such a strange magic energy structure in such a long time. "These magic energies are like groups of flames connected together. They are not harmonious with each other, but they are

And because of the ingenuity of the creator, it seems to be weak magic energy, but in fact it contains far more energy than we imagined."

really.

Eluma pursed her lower lip, emotions flashing in her eyes.

Sure enough, it's you...

Double leaves.

After three rebirths, Eluma would meet the girl named Futaba every time. She still remembered that at the beginning, the expressionless orange-haired girl stopped her carriage, with a pair of golden eyes that looked like she was homeless.

The returning cat was full of indifference and expectation. Since then, Eluma has regarded this girl as her own sister and has always kept her by her side.

Futaba has a very cold personality, so cold that she seldom communicates with others most of the time. Apart from Eluma and Zhou Li, the only people who can talk to her are Herinin, Magnum III and Ti

People like Ya. Of course, although Futaba's character is a bit cold, she will always be Zhou Li and Eluma's most trusted partner on the battlefield. It can be said that even if it is restarted again, the people Eluma trusts unconditionally will always be

It's Zhou Li and Futaba.

Three restarts, each time Futaba fought to the last moment for Zhou Li and Eluma. Each time, Eluma saw Futaba's death with her own eyes. But I don't know why, in the second and third restarts,

, Eluma had deliberately avoided meeting Futaba, but in the end they still got together, fulfilling the same trajectory as before.

In this life, Eluma began to avoid meeting Futaba after the restart, but she only made a subconscious attempt. Because of the previous failures, she was used to Futaba suddenly refreshing in an inconspicuous corner. But

What she didn't expect was that Futaba really didn't find her this time.

No···

Putting the long sword on the shelf aside, Eluma closed her eyes and whispered to herself.

Eluma, you are no longer alone.

She still remembered that in the cave in her previous life, Zhou Li died in battle and she was seriously injured. When the demon king was about to kill Futaba and herself, Futaba suddenly said something like this.

"Eluma, don't worry."

"I will break the fate of brave men and angels.

At first, Eluma just thought these words were Futaba's last words, but after she was reborn, she calmed down and realized something was wrong. And when Futaba's unique [Magic Repulsion Power] appeared before the birth of the so-called Demon King

After that, she understood everything.

Futaba also retains memories from her previous life.

After learning this, Eluma had no negative emotions of being deceived or concealed. On the contrary, she just felt unprecedentedly relaxed. She knew that she was not alone, and that she was firmly by her side every time.

Zhou Li, or Futaba, who also had memories, made this girl whose nerves had been tense for decades feel the warmth of companionship.

She knew that Futaba acted as the Demon King in order to allow humans to establish a coalition in advance. After taking out the map and comparing it with her own memory, Eluma saw that Futaba's whereabouts were connected, which was the main destination of the Demon King's attack before. Now.

Because of Futaba, these locations have been heavily guarded. Even if the Demon King sends troops to make a surprise attack, he will never be able to capture those locations as easily as he did in the past few times.

"Zhou Li."

Inexplicably, Eluma raised her head and said to Zhou Li with a faint smile: "I think we should celebrate."

"ah."

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment. Having just traveled through time for a year, he had become accustomed to the strange character of his own divine messenger. However, he cleared his throat more seriously and said seriously: "Master divine messenger, it is absolutely impossible to open the champagne in advance."

Not a good idea."

"No matter~"

Eluma was obviously in a good mood, except for the tail that whipped out the helicopter propeller. She looked at Zhou Li with a smile, and her sweet voice was full of joy, "Go, let's celebrate."

Bar."

"Since the God Envoy has said so."

Zhou Li put the scroll in his hand aside, nodded and said: "Then let's have a big meal, and call Tiya too, she has been craving for the honey barbecue for a long time."

"Okay~"

Eluma in this life has a more cheerful personality, perhaps because she left too many regrets in her previous life, or maybe her attitude towards Zhou Li made her regretful, but Eluma in this life does not hide her emotions at all.

*****************

"My lord, Mete Town has been captured by us."

Leaning down, the woman whose body was covered with black runes had a chaotic light in her eyes. She lowered her head and said piously: "Next we need..."

"Annie, our mission is not to kill."

Standing on a high platform overlooking the town, Futaba put on her robe, and her beautiful face hidden under the hood was a little helpless, "I know you may say that you are not very friendly to humans, I think you can be less extreme.

Some."

"My Lord, I am talking about spreading the gospel of the Black Emperor. What are you talking about?"

The girl named Annie raised her head, with an innocent look on her face that looked pitiful.

"You~"

Futaba's expression was still calm, but her tone couldn't help but bring a smile. Counting the time of rebirth, she had experienced more than a hundred years of life, but she only had one year to gain emotions, so

, Futaba always reveals emotions she wants to hide involuntarily.

Anne, who was the first to follow Futaba, also knows this. Even though her Demon Lord is usually cold to everyone, once he comes into contact with her, he knows that the Demon Lord has always been gentle, but he is not good at expressing himself.

That's all.

"This town doesn't have to preach the gospel."

Looking at this familiar town, Futaba said nothing and walked towards the town. At this time, the surrounding area of ​​the town had been completely destroyed, but there was no damage to the farmland and pastures, and the soldiers were also

They just gathered together after being knocked unconscious. The townspeople who were driven to the center of the town gathered together and shivered. They looked at the figure shrouded in black robes in fear, waiting for death to come.

The devil, what a terrifying existence.

Among these gathered crowds, a child sitting on a stone stood out. In other words, from the moment they stepped into the center of the town, Annie and Futaba saw that conspicuous girl. Others were trying not to

Eye-catching and curled up, she was the only one who kept looking at the Demon King's army shrouded in black runes out of curiosity, and even once wanted to reach out and touch those runes.

Oh.

Looking at that familiar little face, Futaba chuckled in her heart. She walked through the crowd, not caring about the ordinary people who were frightened to death. For her, mortal lives are not important.

Except for the people you care about and the survival of the world, other people don't matter.

Walking up to the little girl, Futaba lowered his head, looking at the pair of black eyes that overlapped infinitely with those in his memory, and heard a cold voice.

"Can I have enough to eat?"

The little girl didn't have any fear of the Demon King, or in other words, after seeing the beautiful face under the hood, a child's unique look of pure love appeared on her tender cheeks. She raised her head and looked

The demon king said crisply: "I'm not full."

"Follow me."
