After a while, Emil and others left the demon stronghold. They retreated while guarding against Cones' pursuit.

It was not until everyone returned to Blackpool Town that Emil could no longer sense the traces of Cornes' magic, that they breathed a sigh of relief.

But as Alice worried, if they don't find a way to kill Cones, they will never be at peace.

Now that the magic of the White Dragon reversing time is that Emil is not as frightened as before, the biggest difficulty next is how to solve the problem of Cones being able to continue to resurrect.

Competing with him on physical strength, whoever exhausts first loses, this is the only effective way, and Cones is also afraid of it.

If it weren't for their physical strength and magic combined, Emil would have chosen to continue the stalemate at that time.

"What should we do next?" Alice finally couldn't help asking.

After all, if you do nothing at this time, you will be complacent because you survive for the time being, which is too unreasonable.

"Don't worry, Alice, Emil will definitely come up with a solution. Let's take a break first." Ophelia comforted.

Emil expressed gratitude for this because they were facing the unfathomable demon king. If they did not deal with it in the best condition, they would not have a chance of winning.

However, he could understand Alice's idea. After all, dragons are different from humans. They never knew what fatigue is.

"...Okay," Alice stopped forcing her. She walked to the city gate and said to the others, "You guys hurry up and rest, I'll stand guard."

Emil couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this guy looked irritable, but he didn't expect that his mind was quite delicate.

"Well, then I'll ask you." Emil said solemnly.

Then, they entered the town together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Emil sensed a very familiar trace of magic, and a burst of unreasonable joy suddenly surged out of his heart, because he knew it was Anne who was back.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the lobby of the city lord's mansion.

Emile noticed that there were three strange faces with Anne.

One is a woman who looks over twenties and has an elegant temperament, and the other is a woman of about the same age. She wears a pair of monocles and doesn't seem to pay much attention to her image. Her long brown hair is chaotic and has deep dark circles. The last one is obviously a little girl, but since she can come with Anne, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, they were planning to hold a combat meeting to deal with the Demon King's attack, or to attack the Demon King.

Anne noticed Emil's gaze and took this opportunity to introduce it.

"Let me introduce you to you. They are members of the Pandora Box, the organization I belong to. This is Lesti Brewster, and the title is Blue Witch. As you see, he is a nerd. There is nothing special about it. This one is amazing. He ranks second among the seven witches. Charlotte Stuart, known as the Obsidian Witch..."

Anne paused at this point because she found her sister showing a surprised expression, of course, Emil was the same.

It is obvious that their surnames are all Stuart, who is very famous in the empire, which means that whether they recognize them or not, they are at least related.

Afterwards, Anne did not develop this topic. After all, the situation is very urgent, so she continued.

"Let's discuss the detailed situation later if you have time. Of course, the premise is that we can all survive. Although this last person is not a formal member of the organization, her strength is greater than that of most witches..."

Before Annie could finish her words, the little girl smiled cheerfully and stood up. Because the table was taller, she had to stand on the chair.

"Hello brothers and sisters, my name is Mi'er. I will work hard to help in the next battle, so please give me some advice in the future."

Her appearance looked very similar to the self-introduction made by a child who had just entered school. It was not that Emil looked down upon others, but that he was just worried whether such a little girl could really participate in the battle to fight against the Demon King.

Because many of the people present had magic power, Emil couldn't tell who these messy magic traces belonged to, so he didn't know Mi'er's strength.

Of course, Annie also knew that most people here did not believe in Mier's strength, but as long as she was guaranteed, even Emil would not say much.

Next, Emil also introduced the situation of the others to the new three, and then officially started the meeting.

The content of the meeting was very simple. They already had a way to control Cones, who became the devil. All they had to do was to crack his amazing recovery ability.

At this time, Ophelia spoke, but she was a little inquisitive.

"Annie, didn't you say that the seven witches you organized will participate in the battle to fight against the Demon King? But in the end, your leaders didn't show up. What was going on?"

Sure enough, Anne showed an embarrassing look when she heard this, because she also told Emil at the beginning, but now she has not fulfilled her promise. Although it is not her problem, she has to take responsibility in the face of questioning.

"I'm really sorry." Annie lowered her head.

Seeing this, Mi'er apologized.

However, Ophelia was embarrassed, and she did not think of accusing Anne.

"No, you misunderstood. Actually, I want to say that since your leader has not come, you might as well join our camp. Of course, this is only temporary. It doesn't matter if everyone is over after the battle."

There is no doubt that if the Red Flame Witch Katerina was present, she would definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request, after all, she and Byron are also in a competitive relationship.

But Anne is different from the other two witches. The reason why they joined Pandora's Box was just to find a place to live without fighting. They didn't have much obsession with the throne, and they didn't understand the importance of the throne to Katerina.

So, the three witches discussed it for a while and made a decision. In fact, Anne had considered Katerina's opinion, but as an irresponsible revenge on the elder sister, she didn't care so much.

"Of course, our purpose is consistent anyway."

"That's great. It seems that our beheading team was gathered together in an instant." Ophelia clapped her hands excitedly.

At this time, Charlotte looked at Emil.

"You guys have fought with the Demon King just now? Tsk tsk, you can even come back alive. Your strength is indeed not simple."

"Everywhere, it all depends on this Mr. White Dragon, who can use the magic of reversing time." Emil explained with a smile.

Charlotte suddenly became interested because the magic she was best at reversed time, but it could only affect what happened within two minutes at most. She didn't expect that a giant dragon would have the same magic.

Then, she began to have in-depth discussions with Bailong, which were basically theoretical topics, and Emil couldn't understand a single sentence, but it could be imagined that they could make the time controlled by Cones longer next.

"Ahem," the taciturn witch Lesti suddenly spoke, "By the way, have you heard of a legendary ore that can inhibit the monster's self-healing ability?"

Of course Emil knew the most, so he responded to her.

"Of course, you should be talking about Jinhui Mine. I happen to have a sword made of Jinhui Mine 100%.

After he finished speaking, he took out the holy sword he carried with him and handed it to Lesti through the table.

"oh?"

Lesti showed a very surprised expression. She carefully took the holy sword, and then gently stroked and observed as if she was looking at the priceless treasure.

Emil thought to himself, this witch should like to collect treasures very much.

"It's amazing, by the way, Emil, where did you get it? Because as far as I know, the Golden Rain Mine is not easily obtained by humans, and even if you get it, it cannot be forged. It is said that only the elves understand this technology."

At this time, in order to explain the situation to her, Ophelia took off her helmet. After all, there is no need to hide it now.

When Lesti saw her appearance, he suddenly realized it, but then he was a little disappointed.

"This sword does have the ability to kill the demon king, but unfortunately, it did not awaken its due power."

Emil naturally understood what she meant, but the problem now is that he could not pin his hopes on the illusory holy sword, so he had to think of other ways to deal with the devil.

However, Lesti changed his mind.

"But, Emil, I've heard of a way that I don't know if it's reliable. Do you want to hear it?"

"What?"

Emil seemed to see hope again.

"Oh, Lesti, don't keep it aside," Anne urged, "it's now, let's talk about it whether it's reliable or not."

"Okay, Anne should have said that our Pandora's Box has been collecting information related to the demon race. According to some intermittent information at present, the four dark knights under the Demon King have their own magic swords. These magic swords are mixed with golden mines, so they can awaken their own consciousness. Their method is to sacrifice their most important people. In other words, the so-called autonomy consciousness is nothing more than integrating the soul of the sacrifice into the demon sword. There is a strong bond between the sacrifice and the sword master, so they will naturally work for the sword master."

"…So that's it." Emil thought.

Although this method is indeed very reasonable, the price is to sacrifice his most important person, and Emil can never do such a thing.

The moment he heard these words, Emil subconsciously thought of several people, Ophelia, Anne, or Lilith. He couldn't tell who was the most important, but even with the answer, he could not put it into practice.

"Is this the only way?"

"I don't know the specific situation," Lesti shook his head. "To be honest, I can't determine the authenticity of these materials. Besides, you won't do such things, right?"

She returned the Holy Sword to Emil, and then fell into silence, as if she could not think of any other way.

Next, others also put forward their own ideas, but none of them were specific and feasible, and the meeting was deadlocked.

However, at this moment, an upsetting horn sounded from the city gate.

Emile had arranged for reconnaissance personnel before, responsible for issuing alarms when danger came, and at this time, Cones should have chased after him.

However, Cones was unable to crack the magic of the White Dragon for the time being, and Emil couldn't understand the reason for him to attack again.

"Let's go out and have a look. Alice must be in a tough battle."

So everyone rushed out of the city gate immediately, and after arriving, they found that there were a large group of enemies, more than a hundred of them, all of them looked exactly like Cones.

Although there is nothing to be afraid of Cornes's stand-in, it still makes Emile's scalp numb when he comes so much at once.
