Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 119 The Meaning of Existence
Two nights ago, in the dark alley near the Baifeng Town Prison.
A young boy covered in blood was lying on the ground. He had long lost his vital signs. The cool breeze of the autumn night was blowing, and as time went by, the warm blood gradually turned cold.
However, after an unknown amount of time, the boy's body suddenly made a strange sound, which seemed to be an unwilling beating of his heart.
Immediately afterwards, his whole body began to radiate heat, the wounds healed automatically, the heart continuously pumped out fresh blood, and the skin that was pale due to blood loss regained its vitality.
In this dark alley, a young man named Nova suddenly opened his eyes. He was finally resurrected, but his originally gentle eyes became indifferent, and his gestures were full of inexplicable majesty.
Then, countless memories suddenly poured into his brain, as if they came from a very long time ago. He suddenly had a splitting headache and could hardly breathe. His eyes were bloodshot. In the end, he could only kneel on the ground and hold his head in his hands.
However, such a painful process did not last long. After he regained his composure, a warm current appeared in his body and was flowing to his limbs.
Soon, the discomfort on his body completely disappeared. He lowered his head and glanced at his hands. With just a little thought, blazing black flames appeared in his hands.
Immediately afterwards, those flames quickly spread all over the body, and finally turned into a layer of solid armor, glowing under the moonlight.
At this moment, he finally remembered important things, the memory that lasted for thousands of years, his true identity, and his deep-seated hatred for mankind.
It turns out that he is the devil.
…
Zelens quickly swung the giant hammer and smashed it behind him. Under the influence of his sword skills, the hammer made a big hole with just one hit.
Then, he looked into the pit to confirm whether he had hit the enemy.
As a result, there was nothing but dirt in the pit, and the penetrating voice sounded again.
"Stop it, you can't escape the fate of destruction, you should take advantage of the last time to pray..."
Zelens refused to admit defeat and attacked the direction from which the sound came, and then created another large crater. This time, the force was even greater, and even the surrounding monsters were shocked to the point where their brains burst.
A few seconds later, the voice came again, and the figure of the other party was as erratic as a ghost.
"Or, join our demon clan. This is the only way that fragile humans can escape their tragic fate."
"Shut up!" Zelens roared.
Then, he used his second sword skill. This is a trick that will definitely kill the enemy once it is used, but the disadvantage is that it will cause serious backlash to himself.
This was a sword skill he created when he was young, in order to win the first place in the knight competition, but because the side effects were too great, he almost became disabled, so he only used it once during the civil war in the empire, and then it was permanently sealed.
.
Now this war is probably the last battle he will participate in in his life, and he must make a perfect ending.
But after fighting against this demon commander, he knew very well that the opponent's strength was far superior to his. If he continued to delay, not only would he die here, but the remaining thousands of soldiers would also be buried with him.
Therefore, he had to use the sword skills that had been sealed for decades.
The Demon Commander, or Demon King Nova, suddenly felt a huge force surge inside Zelens's body, and then all that majestic force gathered on the giant hammer, creating a very strong gravitational force.
All the surrounding monsters were pulled by gravity, and then flew towards the giant hammer, turning into bloody flowers. Only the monsters with larger bodies and stronger bodies could barely maintain their shape, but all the bones in their bodies were shattered.
Primo, who was not far away, looked shocked. He had heard of his father's move, but he couldn't understand that he was just a demon commander. Is it worth using this sword skill that could lead to death?
After all, the reason why Zelens was able to withstand the backlash of his sword skills in the past was mainly because he was still young and strong at that time, but he is now seventy years old. Even after years of training, his body is still strong, but it is impossible for him to withstand it.
Liveable.
"Father, come back quickly!"
Primo couldn't help shouting loudly, and then rushed over desperately, trying to stop his father, but the gravitational force on the monster turned into a push force on him, pushing him further in an instant, until
Get out of the influence of sword skills.
Next, nearly tens of thousands of monsters were turned into blooming blood flowers or compressed into a ball of wreckage by Zelens' sword skills.
Even Nova, who transformed into the Demon King, couldn't resist it, and his body was pulled towards the giant hammer.
At this time, the giant hammer had been wrapped into a ball of flesh by the monster's corpse, and there was still a dark purple electric light flashing on it.
Zelens's move takes a long time to prepare, but during this period, all enemies he targets will hit the hammer under the influence of strong gravity.
In fact, when the sword skill is ready, few enemies can still stand. Needless to say, he will use the sword skill later, and the sky will be shattered by then.
Five minutes later, Zelens's sword skills were finally prepared. Looking at the entire battlefield, there were only about 10,000 monsters left alive, and they escaped because they were relatively far away.
As for Nova, at the critical moment, he pulled out a huge black sword from his chest and stuck it on the ground, so that it was not pulled by gravity.
On the other side, Zelens's body suffered a huge backlash. He became panting, his eyes were red, his muscles were sore, and even his bones had cracks.
Seeing that Nova was unscathed, Zelens had to sigh at the unfathomable strength of this monster. Then he no longer hesitated and directly swung the giant hammer at the opponent, but his movements became very slow.
Logically speaking, anyone should be able to dodge such a slow sword skill, but after Zelens's aim, Nova's body became difficult to move. Every time he moved, his body became heavier.
In other words, after the sword skill is released, even the target's movements become sluggish, and it seems natural to be hit in the end.
Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Nova had no choice but to take the attack head-on. He covered his whole body with a layer of black flames, and the next moment, he was accurately hit by the giant hammer.
As if two planets collided, the ground began to tremble violently, and then countless wide cracks appeared, swallowing up the remaining monsters.
A large amount of dust was blown up by the impact, covering the sky and making the entire battlefield gray.
After releasing his combat skills, the giant hammer in Zelens's hand had turned into pieces, and he could not hold himself up anymore and fell to his knees. At this time, his life was like a candle in the wind.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Byron, I can no longer serve you." Zelens said softly, as if he was angry.
After a while, the dust settled and the battlefield finally returned to calm.
Looking around, not even a single monster could be seen. The more than 10,000 remaining monsters had also been annihilated. Most of them were swallowed up by the cracks in the ground. Those who were lucky enough to escape were instantly evaporated by their sword skills.
.
The place where Nova was located directly turned into a large crater, about a hundred meters in diameter and an unknown depth.
A few more minutes passed, but there was still no movement in the pit, and Nova seemed to be crushed to pieces by this terrifying sword skill.
Zelens, who still had a little bit of consciousness left, couldn't help but smile with relief. It seemed that his knight career had finally come to a perfect end, and he had no regrets in his life.
The range of the entire sword skill was nearly one thousand meters, so neither Primo nor the human army was affected. Seeing that the battle was over, he and Charles hurried over to check the situation.
However, before they could get closer, Zelens suddenly frowned and waved to them with the last of his strength. In an instant, a strong wind appeared and blew them away.
What he worried about still happened, because he could feel the strong pressure coming from the bottom of the pit. It was obvious that the demon commander was not dead.
He didn't expect that the opponent's strength was so terrifying. Even the Dark Knight could be killed with sword skills of this scale, but he could still survive after hitting the monster head-on.
He had to think of the worst possibility. This young man who appeared as the demon commander was probably the demon king himself.
After a while, Nova flew directly up from the bottom of the pit. Surprisingly, his body was broken into pieces, and things behind him could even be seen through the gaps.
Despite this, he did not die, but maintained his human form with some mysterious power, and then all the fragments came together.
The Demon King, whose body was back as good as before, slowly walked up to Zelens and looked down at this powerful human being.
However, Nova did not give him a fatal blow, but smiled, bent down, and stretched out his hand to him.
"It's a good fight. I would like to call you the strongest human being. Unfortunately, your life is coming to an end. Only I can save you, if you are willing..."
"Haha, what are you talking about? How could I, the noble Paladin, succumb to the demons?" Zelens knew what he wanted to say, and refused without mercy.
Hearing this, Nova was not angry. He just put away his smile and returned to an indifferent expression.
"This is such a pity."
After that, Nova did not kill him, but let him suffer the backlash of his sword skills. Eventually, he ran out of energy and completely lost consciousness.
However, when he looked at the body of Zelens, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and he felt great confusion in his heart.
After obtaining the memory of the Demon King, he finally learned what humans were doing on this land. They were greedy and wanted to rule the entire continent and enslave all races. Once they encountered resistance, they launched large-scale wars and massacred all the opponents.
For more than a thousand years, humans have forced the elves into secret realms deep in the mountains, and destroyed the homes of the dragons, forcing them to live on the edge of the continent.
As for the demons, they had already destroyed themselves, but human greed awakened their remaining consciousness, allowing the greedy human rulers to transform into demon kings and raise the butcher's knife against their own people.
I thought that this lesson would make humans learn to behave better, but in the end they defeated the powerful demons and established a new ruler. In the next five hundred years, human power became unprecedentedly prosperous.
But no matter how things changed, the greedy nature and ugly face of human beings never changed. He transformed into Nova and lived in the human world for more than ten years, proving this with his personal experience.
Therefore, he couldn't understand why some people would rather die than submit to the demons. With Zelens's qualifications, he could clearly obtain more powerful power, so why would he still reject him?
After a while, he suddenly remembered that not all humans are ugly. Not long ago, he had seen the boy and the witch who drew a sword to help him, as well as the knight who tried his best to help him find evidence.
Although they failed to take revenge in the end, they at least showed kindness, which was completely different from the humans he had seen before.
However, can this alone wipe out the sins humans have committed on this earth?
The answer is of course no, because this is the purpose of the Demon King's existence, to eliminate the root causes of diseases that threaten this land.
