Although the demons of this generation have almost no idea what happened a thousand years ago, a certain name has been remembered to this day.

It is the legend of the Foul Horns who miraculously broke through the forbidden level and made great contributions to the transformation of the demons into human form and the elimination of the spiritual curse. It is also a spiritual symbol that has been revered to this day.

Lan Xiaye - even if they had never seen her before, the demons still regarded her as an object of faith.

"She is, really."

"What! It's actually... true!?"

However, even without the testimony of the mist phantom star in girl form, the cold-faced white-haired beauty still had quite striking features.

——That huge curled horn, which is almost half the size of a head, is one of the bases for the demons to judge their strength.

"I really don't have time to waste with you right now... Marquis Aarons asked me to tell you to gather upstream immediately. Miss Yalu, please take them there."

"Come with me."

"Wait, are you going to look for the manager? But the barrier is failing, the manager might have already..."

Xia Ye didn't care what the young demon was saying. She jumped lightly over the crowd and ran towards the tower without hesitation.

Yalu was floating in the air, tilting her head to look at the demons who had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the battle and the shocking facts, with a somewhat puzzled expression on her face.

"You guys, it's time to go."

……

Of course Xia Ye knew what the barrier was.

Although nearly a thousand years had passed, this shelter still felt like home to her, and the person who supported this home was the one she regarded as her mother.

Huang Yayin - that was a person who could have left with the hero, but in order to protect the demons who stayed behind, she risked her own life to support the barrier and sheltered them and their descendants for a thousand years.

"…Is it about to end?"

But now, the barrier that was originally strong and solid has become fragile.

And this also means that person's life is about to come to an end.

"…I'm back, Mom."

When Xia Ye pushed open the locked door, she immediately saw the rotten thing that was too unbearable to look at.

The dead tree, which barely still had a human outline, looked like it could break and shatter at any time. It had almost no life left.

"Ahem... Oh my, isn't this our... lovely little girl?"

"It's already this time and you're still saying this... My young master is here to fulfill his promise. He will pick up the others and leave soon."

"Really? It seems like my vision is still good... ahem."

The tall Xia Ye slowly walked to the front of the chair, then half-knelt down, and carefully reached out to touch the rotten body that still had some traces of the past.

And she clearly felt that there was very little vitality left in her body.

"But you actually chose that little guy. How lucky you are... I didn't expect that..."

"He is the only one who can bear my memory acquisition, so I dedicate my... life to him."

"Ahahaha, then we can...feel relieved."

Xia Ye knew very well that Huang Yayin didn't have much time left, so she didn't intend to waste time on some useless topics.

"Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"...Take us with you."

Huang Yayin will die soon, so what she meant was definitely not "let her live and leave with them."

"I really want to see how far you can go... so I'll take what I have left with me."

This was a wish that was destined to never come true, and Xia Ye knew very well what she should do - so she just nodded and didn't say anything more.

And the dry and rotten demon patron finally just let out a slightly bitter laugh.

"What a pity! I actually... really want to find a master..."

Before leaving, the brave man must have wanted to take her away.

But she gave up the precious opportunity to leave this world and go to an unknown new world, and chose to protect the demons who could not trust the heroes and stayed in this world.

She gave up her own wish and chose to protect others - and now, only Xia Ye can fulfill her last wish.

"I understand...I will take you away."

"Ahahahaha, being able to see our lovely little girl at the end... I have no regrets at all..."

The withered body seemed to want to raise its arm to touch Xia Ye's face, but the movement stopped halfway, and the shriveled arm fell down weakly.

Xia Ye also closed his eyes, half-knelt on the ground in silence, and prayed to the lifeless corpse.

"Okay, time to go... Mother."

……

The barrier of the shelter was completely broken.

Although Ximu's army had invaded here before, the barrier still prevented a large number of people from entering.

However, now, the barrier that has protected the demons for a thousand years no longer exists.

[Come up one by one in order! Let the elderly and children go first... Those who can fight should stay outside as much as possible! ]

However, at this time, the demons had basically gathered upstream of the river, and under the command of Aarons, they began to board the ship along the special tow ladder.

[Zhu Ying! Yalu! Report the situation! ]

[The invaders close to the evacuation point have been annihilated, but a large number of enemies are entering the area and are expected to enter the warning distance within five minutes. ]

[No, the forgotten person. ]

Although it became an emergency evacuation, Aarons had already made a plan for it. He also had specially designed airships and prepared the corresponding rescue equipment.

So even though the situation was quite critical, a large number of demons still boarded the invisible airship quickly and in an orderly manner, without even any chaos.

[Xia Ye! There aren't many people left on the ground! Come back immediately if you can hear me!]

[I'm already on my way back, Master, you don't need to shout so loudly in my head.]

The reason why stable order can be maintained under such circumstances may be because Aarons' mental power can indeed calm everyone down.

[Have all the people below come up? If they are, I will start to take off now! Zhu Ying Yalu, retreat immediately! ]

The Sunset Army not far away seemed to have realized that something was hidden here and began to randomly fire magic into the air.

But the giant ship, which refracted almost all the light and whose shape could not be accurately identified, had already completed its mission.

Thus, with a deafening roar, the illusory ark carried away the peaceful tribe from their homeland.
