With a bang, the brave man opened the bloody arrow with his sword. At this moment, his eyes clearly showed anger and anxiety. He shouted: "You... bad bastards!"

"Stop him!"

Ariel gave the order again, and at the same time, she also stepped towards the magic ball that fell to the ground.

If that magic ball really represents the power of the Demon King...if accepting this magic ball means becoming the Mother of the Earth and becoming the new Demon King!

Then let this power be loaded onto yourself! At least according to Napa, he has the potential to become the Demon King to some extent, right?

Rather than letting the Demon King's power really fall on the Demon King, why not let yourself be the future Demon King? Maybe the world will be safer?

"Don't...come closer!"

The brave man who landed on the ground suddenly swung out his hook, grabbed the rock throne and pulled at the same time. His body quickly flew towards the magic ball and Ariel. At this time, Jelly had already taken the lead to block in front of him.

The famous electric mage raised his left arm, and in an instant, the floating weapons around him seemed to be pulled, and they stabbed at the brave man like thousands of arrows.

A large number of ancient weapons formed a huge python. When faced with such a weird attack, even the brave man could only grit his teeth and raise the sword and shield in his hand to block. There was no way to get close to it.

Magic ball.

But just when Ariel's hands were about to touch the magic ball, she heard a whooshing sound, and she felt a sudden pain in her palms!

In a daze, Ariel saw that a flying knife had stabbed her palm accurately, and the force it brought even lifted her entire body two meters away.

Ariel covered her bleeding hand and looked back, only to see that when the brave man threw out the flying knife in order to free his hand, his body had been grazed by several weapons one after another, and there were more wounds.

This was just a small episode, because soon, the mermaid army and cheese also joined the battle besieging the brave man.

Here, no one can stop her anymore... No one can stop Ariel Garcia from touching the magic ball and becoming the inheritor of the power of the Demon King!

"You...stupid bastards! Do you want to watch that woman...inherit the power of the Demon King?!"

"The power of the Demon King should be sealed again! It should not appear in the human world again!"

"This power will destroy everything! At least half of the people in the entire Golden Continent will die!"

"What you are doing now is no different from the Demon King's Army——!!!"

"You are creating the next Demon King with your own hands! And that Demon King... will be your president!"

"You stupid bastards ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

In the battlefield, the angry roar of the brave man resounded throughout the throne room.

But no matter how much he screamed or struggled, he could not get closer to this side even though he was seriously injured.

The remaining members of Mermaid Song are doing their best to stop him, and all the soldiers of the Mermaid Army who come over are performing their duties.

Do they know that they will become the devil's subordinates?

maybe.

But they also know that even if their president... their mayor, their leader has really become the new devil...

Then this female devil will definitely be able to lead them to a better world! A more beautiful...

"…………???"

The moment before her palm was about to touch the magic ball, Ariel's palm suddenly stopped.

The power of the Demon King was already at her fingertips.

Next, it seems that all you need to do is touch it and accept the power inside.

but……

At this last critical moment, a voice in her heart suddenly shouted out!

(Stop! Think! Think before making the most critical decision!)

(Think about all the causes and consequences of the matter again! Think about why you are here and why you want to make this decision!)

(Is this decision really the answer you want? Have you thought about this question carefully before making this decision?)

In an instant, Ariel felt a cold sweat suddenly break out on her back!

Why did you come here?

Because the brave man went here, and he wanted to prevent the brave man from becoming the devil.

So, why do you think the hero came here to become the Demon King?

In other words, before coming to the Evermian Mountains, had I thought carefully about the cause-and-effect relationship?

Who told me that a brave man would become a demon king?

And who told himself that as long as he became the Demon King, he could stop the Demon King from harming the entire world?

The answers to these questions did not appear in that moment.

But even when she just thought of the problem, Ariel's pupils suddenly dilated!

Her hand paused, even slightly retracting its movement to touch the magic ball.

then……

"Alas~~~You are indeed a woman with the potential to become the Mother of the Earth. But, it is only 'potential'."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from above Ariel's head.

When she heard this voice, Ariel froze suddenly, and a large amount of cold sweat rolled down her cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of feet appeared in her sight, and then a hand gently and deftly grabbed the magic ball on the ground and weighed it in her hand.

Ariel's eyes slowly raised along the feet, watching the magic ball being held in the palm of that hand.

Almost instantly, the magic ball that symbolized the power of the Demon King seeped into the palm of his hand as if melting.

"It's in vain that I still have some expectations for you, and it's in vain that Fenapa recommends you to me."

A feeling called fear surged up from the soles of Ariel's feet along with the cold air, and even began to invade her heart and occupy her entire body.

She slowly raised her head, but her chin was pinched by the hand that had just held the magic ball, and her whole body was lifted up instantly!

What caught her eyes was an exquisite face.

It was a face full of elf beauty and intellectual softness and handsomeness that overlapped with each other. It was a smiling expression that seemed to contain gentleness and tolerance that echoed each other.

The long elf ears trembled slightly at this time, and they seemed to be able to shake off countless starlights. The soft and feminine fingers seemed to naturally carry the fresh fragrance of green leaves.

At this time, the cat monster that had been with Ariel for seven years, Napa, the vice president of the Mermaid Song Guild, was hovering next to this elf, silently like a favorite pet.

suspended.

And the lute that once looked so shabby now seems to have completely transformed. The outer layer gradually peeled off, and the remaining limbs slowly twisted and deformed, turning into a translucent hand-held harp.

"But you still let me down after all. You are too smart, so smart that even I think I can't figure you out. If such a smart human being lets you continue to live, it is really a threat to me.

.But it would be such a pity to kill you like this."

The hand holding Ariel's chin slowly slid down, and instead clamped around her entire neck, lifting her up.

Ariel's feet gradually left the ground, and a strong sense of suffocation began to fill her lungs, making her whole body twitch!

In front of her, this former member of the Mermaid Song Guild, the bard - Igotari Terry Einarson.

Now, he is standing here with a smile as the most powerful demon king, with gentle eyes and star-like light in his eyes, silently looking at this ordinary human woman who is about to be strangled to death by him.

However, the appearance of the Demon King here did not seem to wake up the people there who were still immersed in the battle. Seeing that those warriors were still fighting fiercely with the brave, the light in Ariel's eyes gradually dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, the power in this elf's hand began to deepen a little bit again...

"Owner."

At this time, the cat monster slowly floated in front of the Demon King and called out humbly.

Hearing the voice of the cat monster, the tenderness in the devil's eyes increased even more. There was a little understanding in his expression, but also a little surprise. At the same time, the hand holding Ariel's neck relaxed a little -

"It's really rare that you would plead for mercy for a human being."

Napa bowed her head humbly to the demon king and said slowly——

"Just think that she told me the cunning of human beings. She is undoubtedly my teacher when it comes to learning about humans. And this cunning also allows me to contribute to the resurrection of my master. Therefore, please allow me to return this

A friendship.”

After the Demon King pondered for a moment, he nodded slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "Indeed, I was able to successfully capture this human being and I have done a lot of work. In this case, I will give you another choice now.

Bar."

He looked at Ariel and said slowly: "Human, surrender to me, and I will give you great power. At the same time, I can also let you live. But if you dare to say the word 'no'——

"

"I...I will join! As long as...as long as you don't kill me...I will definitely join! I will join...the Demon King's Army!"

Before the demon king in front of her could finish all the threats, Ariel couldn't wait to show her loyalty.

To be honest, the fact that this woman wanted to agree to join the Demon King's army so easily surprised the Demon King Yi Ge. But soon, he figured it out, nodded again, and said: "For

In pursuit of survival, human beings can really do anything. Napa, unfortunately, I have given her a chance. But I still decided that human beings' cunning is too difficult to guard against. So..."

A flash of disappointment and helplessness flashed across Napa's face, and her eyes briefly glanced at Ariel, with a look of farewell in her eyes.
To be continued...
