Claire took a few steps back and shouted angrily at the changeling in the king.
The guards who finally understood that something was wrong with the king quickly protected her behind them, pointing their swords and guns at the king.
Jiang Li glanced over at her and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Tch, I didn't expect that the first step of the plan was exposed before it was completed!"
The king looked unhappy, but soon sneered again.
"But what I am using now is your king's body. Do you dare to mess with me?"
He had a confident and proud expression on his face.
"Tie up the father!"
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"
"Eh?!"
Alice shouted loudly, and immediately the responders gathered, took out the ropes, and rushed towards the king.
"Wait a minute, don't come over here!"
The king was stunned and quickly raised his fists in a threatening gesture, but he was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd and was soon tied into a ball with ropes.
He really didn't understand why the princess of a country had such high prestige and would tie up the king whenever she asked.
Is this something not quite right?
But he quickly calmed down and raised the corner of his mouth.
"You may think you have won, but the real battle-"
At this moment, the dense white light suddenly reappeared and enveloped the king.
"It hasn't started yet!"
Claire, who was hiding in the corner, first paused and then shouted angrily.
Uncharacteristically, she jumped out without any response from the guards.
Then he pounced directly towards a certain figure!
"Oops, it's time to swap!"
The little princess quickly understood the situation and her expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Li, be careful!"
Claire's target is Jiang Li!
She was still wearing the necklace set with sapphire on her right hand, and her face was full of a ferocious smile!
Everyone's attention was drawn to the king.
However, without the approval of the necklace itself, the exchange of body-changing necklaces has a time limit, and can only be exchanged for a few minutes at most.
Once the time limit is up, the exchange ends and the souls return to their respective bodies.
But at this time, you can use the second exchange!
"Although it took a lot of steps, it saved me a lot of effort since I could directly target the plan!"
The face of the changeling demon is ferocious.
This boy is the target of this plan!
Originally, he should have exchanged with the king first, quietly become the king of the ancient kingdom of Belze, and controlled the political power of the country, and then went through many steps to target the adventurer named Nanxiang.
The reason why he became a demon king and announced in a high-profile manner that he was targeting the princess was, on the one hand, to arouse mankind's hostility towards the new demon king, and on the other hand, to divert attention. When people thought that his target was the princess, he suddenly turned against the king.
If you take action, of course the king will not be able to guard against it!
But I didn’t expect that the first step of the plan would go wrong!
But since the target himself appears directly in front of you, there is no need to stick to other steps!
Just aim at the target yourself!
"bump!"
Suddenly.
When he made the decision to commit suicide quickly after the exchange in his mind, his eyes suddenly started to spin.
"Uh-huh!"
A sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to scream in agony.
what happened?
He raised his head in confusion.
At some point, the Claire he mimicked was already lying on the ground.
The body was broken at the waist, and the section at the waist was pitch black, with no trace of blood flowing.
Grain is greasy
The young man he targeted was looking down at him at the moment, holding the sword he had wielded before in his hand.
That sword is a magic sword, enough to be regarded as a national treasure of a country. It can cause huge damage even to monsters like changelings that are almost immune to physical attacks!
"……what happened?"
Totally incomprehensible.
Was he cut in half?
When? How?
Isn't this guy a mage?
Why is swordsmanship so powerful?
I didn't see it clearly at all. Hey, he is a superior demon!
"Really? This is why the plan is so complicated, because if you directly target him, you will end up like this!"
He suddenly understood.
He used to think that the plan was so messy, and he was very impatient.
Now that I think about it, it makes so much sense!
If the enemy can be defeated simply, who would be willing to make such a complicated plan?
"It's so amazing. He was killed instantly with one strike. He is worthy of brother Li!"
Princess Alice immediately cast a longing look.
"But why the sword..."
"Hey, I've recovered, please untie me quickly!"
The king shouted over there.
"Tsk!"
Jiang Li slashed with his sword and cut off the changeling's right hand.
The necklace on his right hand flew out, and Jiang Li caught it and put it into his pocket naturally.
"Catch him and then torture him about his purpose. Remember to use special handcuffs."
Jiang Li said to the guard next to him.
"Ah, yes! Come on, come here and get Mithril's handcuffs! No, just to prevent accidents, just get a complete set of them!"
"Is this the end?"
"As expected of a black-haired adventurer!"
"Go find the real Miss Claire!"
The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, the guards cast admiring looks, and the king was loosened.
"Hehe, hehe..."
But at this time, the changeling demon lying on the ground chuckled.
"why are you laughing?"
Jiang Li lowered his head and locked his eyes tightly.
"I admit that I lost this time, but you'd better not be too proud, new devil!"
The people nearby were immersed in the aftermath and didn't notice.
But Jiang Li's face turned cold, and he stabbed out his sword, instantly piercing his heart!
Although the changeling is a disembodied shadow, it has a core. As long as the core is broken, it can be killed.
His body structure did perfectly replicate that of a human being, but Jiang Li's eyes had already seen through his core.
"Well……!"
The changeling groaned.
"Haha, we still have a chance to meet... I hope you can live until then!"
He sneered at Jiang Li, and then suddenly died.
The body also turned into a pool of inactive liquid, as dark as freshly dug crude oil.
And from the black liquid, a colorful crystal ball fell out.
"core?"
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
With a "click" sound, a crack appeared on the crystal, and then the crack quickly spread across the entire sphere.
The dark mist surged out of the crystal ball in an instant, like thick smoke after an explosion, and quickly surged in all directions, enveloping the frightened king, Alice, guards, Yamada and others.
In just a few seconds, black mist covered the entire palace!
