The Hero in Exile

"Is this all you have?"

The light wings behind him easily intercepted the black sword.

This time, the black gas did not destroy directly like before. Lingyu controlled the light wings and shattered the black sword with just a little force.

At the moment the black sword collapsed, Soreli jumped back and successfully avoided the counterattack of Light Wing.

"Tsk, Holy Light again? What a hassle."

While saying "trouble", he did not forget to fix his hair with one hand.

"You've been tricked, demon. How about trying this trick!"

Suddenly, a magic circle flashed under his feet. This was the place where Roreid had dodged before. At the moment he dodged, he did not forget to set an ice trap on the spot.

The ice spreading from the soles of his feet surrounded Soreli until he was turned into a huge block of ice.

"Well done."

Seeing that the demon was frozen, Lingyu reorganized his holy light power. He had used too much holy light power to activate the Judge to speed up his journey. Now he only needed a few seconds to inject the power into the holy sword.

Click—

Cracks appeared in the ice.

They should be able to hold on for a few more seconds, the three thought.

The frozen Soreli turned his eyes to look at Reden, and the ice on his body was soon covered with cracks.

In the blink of an eye, the ice was shattered, but Soreli was still standing there intact.

"How annoying, human! Can't you see I'm still fixing my hair?"

The powerful murderous aura almost solidified into a physical form, and Reden was shaking uncontrollably while leaning on his crutch.

It was too terrifying. Even when Kaiden was chasing him, he didn't have such a terrifying murderous intent. And when he almost died in the face of a powerful dragon, he didn't feel so scared.

And the reason for all this was just that I didn't let him take care of his hair.

Reden bit his yellowed teeth and managed to calm himself down and not run away.

Soreli suddenly remembered something, and the murderous aura in the air dissipated.

"I almost forgot that this is not my body. There is no need to care about this."

Reden breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just survived a disaster and felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell.

Lingyu did not dare to act rashly at this time. The remaining power of holy light was still in the holy sword. If he consumed it easily, he would have no chance at all.

As for why Lingyu didn't use his domain, the moment they started fighting, he felt that the power did not have any magical factors, or it could be said that it was not magic but just a pure energy.

If used, it would prevent Reden from using magic, and that would be a very unfavorable situation.

For some reason, Soreli returned to his original state and had almost no desire to fight.

"It's really rare that after hundreds of years of not seeing each other, the Demon King and the Hero can still fight side by side. Human, your magic is not bad. Apart from the magician and the elf in the brave team hundreds of years ago, you are the best magician I have ever seen. It's a pity that you are a little old and your magic has been abandoned for a long time, otherwise you would not stop here, and maybe you can avoid meeting that magician."

Soreli recalled the battle and commented carefully, as if it was not them who had risked their lives just now.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

Reden curled the corners of his mouth to be praised by him, but he was also an enemy of one of the most powerful demons, and he couldn't describe the feeling for a moment.

"But this year's Demon King looks unusually powerful."

For some reason, Soreli suddenly brought up Moran, who didn't even participate in the battle.

The two looked at each other, and Moran found it very strange. There was no hostility in Soreli's eyes, as if he was looking at him for confirmation, and he did not feel nervous at this time, but it only lasted for a few seconds.

While Soreli was distracted, Lingyu and Reden were not idle either. After receiving Lingyu's instruction to get closer to Soreli, Reden secretly released teleportation magic.

"Wha...what?"

Feeling a sword piercing his chest from behind, Soreli turned his head as much as he could and found that it was Lingyu who had attacked him through Reden's small teleportation.

"Human... you are so despicable... but at least this is better than their self-esteem. My real body will not be hurt. We will meet next time."

After saying this, Soreli's soul left Kaeden's body.

"No! Sir, the contract between us is still..."

Kaeden died before he could finish his words. After Kaeden's death, the domain state was lifted and everything returned to normal.

Except for Cadden, who had his head down and a holy sword stuck in his chest.

After pulling out the holy sword, Lingyu got up from the ground and looked at Reden.

"Hey? It's your village chief!"

"You just recognized it."
