"That direction...it seems something big has happened!" The man in black robe and Lisa had just walked out of the library when they saw a purple-black beam of light shooting straight into the sky in the direction of Zhaixing Cliff. This strange sight immediately attracted their attention.

As the pillar of light rose, an evil aura gradually spread, enveloping Mondstadt. This evil aura filled the hearts of the people of Mondstadt with fear and unease.

Lisa frowned, gazing towards the Star-Picking Cliff. She said worriedly, "If we don't stop it in time, Mondstadt will surely be plunged into chaos. It seems the Fatui have finally taken action."

The black-robed man's eyes grew sharp, and he said without hesitation, "There's no time to lose. We need to hurry." With that, he flashed and sped off towards the Star-Picking Cliff. Lisa, unwilling to be outdone, followed closely behind the black-robed man, and together they raced towards the Cliff.

……

King Hao looked at the doctor's body with a complicated expression, thinking: This might just be a slice. The most urgent task is to deal with Cole's demon. Originally just a residue, now it has become a whole. The plot of the Black Fire Case has been eliminated, but in return, this large-scale unrest has been brought about...

[Cole is in crisis. Please make a choice. 1. Let Cole suffer and finally be swallowed by the devil and killed.

2. You devour the demon and the pollution, restoring Cole's health. The price is that you will not be able to use your human transformation ability for 1 to 10 months.

"What should we do?" Barbara and Amber looked at Cole, whose breath was rapidly increasing, their hearts filled with worry and fear. Just when they were at their wit's end, the black-robed man and Lisa finally arrived at the scene. However, when they saw Cole, they were stunned.

"How could Cole become like this! What should we do now? Didn't you say there was a way?" Amber was anxious and grabbed the black-robed man's arm tightly, her eyes full of despair.

The man in black robe shook his head helplessly: "I don't have the ability to fight against the entire demon soul... but." His gaze turned to Lisa beside him.

Lisa sighed deeply and patted Amber's shoulder gently: "Child, prepare for the worst. We must do everything we can to destroy the Demon before it is resurrected. Otherwise, Mondstadt will fall into an unprecedented crisis." There was a hint of determination in her voice, but she could not hide the grief in her heart.

Amber widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard: "Eliminate...eliminate? But, in that case, wouldn't Cole be..." Tears rolled down her cheeks, she could not accept such a cruel fact.

The man in black nodded heavily: "This is the only choice. If we don't do this, not only Cole, but the entire Mond will be destroyed. We can't let more innocent lives be harmed." His tone was firm and helpless, as if he had made a difficult decision.

Of course, Ke Lai heard it too. It seemed like this was the end of her life. She tried to maintain her consciousness: "Amber, don't worry. I'm very happy these days. I have no regrets."

"Cole..." Amber shielded her eyes with her arms.

King Hao came from behind and said, "I have another way. Cole will be fine." He ignored the breath of the demon god, walked to Cole and held her hand.

"Enough! Don't touch me, get away! Let me go... I know everything..." Ke Lai looked at King Hao with tears in her eyes, but King Hao did not let go. Instead, he pulled her closer.

The power of the demon continued to flow, and she felt helpless and hopeless. She was afraid of returning to that lonely moment, afraid of death, but she was even more afraid that the people she cared about would be hurt by this ominous power.

At this moment, black mist emerged from her body and ugly scales grew on her skin.

King Hao thought to himself, "I choose to devour the demon's soul and enter the realm of corruption. Although I won't be able to transform into a human for a month or so, it's worth it if I can improve Cole's favorability."

Suddenly, she felt the long-lasting torture slowly disappear, and her consciousness became clear. She immediately raised her head and looked at King Hao in shock.

"What did you do? No... Stop it!" Cole wanted to stop him, but the black energy and demonic scale disease on his body were absorbed by King Hao.

She realized that this person was different from everyone else she had met. He was willing to make such a sacrifice for her, to stop her from suffering from the pain... But why was he doing this? What good would this do for him?

"This..." The man in black robe caught up and picked up the big boat paddle to rush towards King Hao, but Cole stopped him.

"Kole...you..." The man in black robe stopped attacking and looked at King Hao in surprise.

Ke Lai looked at the man in black robes and tugged at his sleeve. "I don't know what method he used... to transfer all those strange things on me to himself. What should I do? Please save him."

"No, the power of the demon in his body is too strong. We can only rely on his own will... Let's prepare for the worst." The man in black robe felt the demon power raging on King Hao's body and shook his head helplessly.

"Don't worry... Kelai... Before you get married and have children, nothing will happen to me... He's just a remnant of a demon god... Even if it's a real... demon god, I dare to face him... This kind of situation... is just... a small matter." King Hao felt that he should act at this time, so he spoke in a weak tone and exaggerated movements.

"King Hao..." Kelai's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to rush up and hug him, but the man in black robe held her tightly.

"We will meet again one day. Don't come near me for now." King Hao stepped back, black air continued to emerge from his body, and his face began to crack.

Just as Ke Lai was about to run over, he was stopped by the man in black robe.

King Hao smiled slightly: "Brother over there, take Kelai away first." Then magic scales grew on his face and fell off. There was a faint light like the abyss at the gap. He lowered his head, hair grew on his body, and his skin began to slowly turn black. Black substance floated out of the ground and condensed into a mask on his face, which was the same mask as the hill people.

King Hao raised his hands and looked at the familiar claws: "I feel... my consciousness is gradually becoming blurred... Now... what's wrong with me?"

The man in black robe: "You have become a hillman."

"Is that so... A certain astrologer is so evil that his predictions for Count Rabbit are so accurate..." King Hao raised his hand, and the Sky AK next to Barbara automatically flew up and fired several shots at King Hao.

Everyone present was shocked. After King Hao collapsed, he fell from the Star-Picking Cliff...

"No!" Kelai wanted to rush over, but the man in black robe held her hand tightly.

"Let me go! Woo..." Cole stretched out his hand and watched King Hao, who had turned into a hillick, fall off the cliff, his eyes becoming dull.

"..." The man in black robe turned his face away, but his hand was still holding Ke Lai. Everyone stayed like that for a long time without saying a word.
