Lord Demon is behind you

"..."

As expected, even a brave man with a good temper will be angry.

Right now, life and death are on the line.The two of them could only hang in the air with the help of a few long nails, facing the merciless gust of wind, the enemy would come back at an unknown time; and this guy was actually tangled—name?Does he really understand the situation?

"You should check the situation once in a while!" Enduring again and again, the brave man still couldn't help but complain, "If I can't call you by name, I will apologize to you when I get back to the ground! At least for now- —”

"No..." the Demon King said in a daze, "This is the first time you... called me by my name."

The words gradually dissipated in the wind.

"……Hey?"

"I'm sorry...but, I'm very happy. I'm so happy that I can't help but..."

He covered his face, "I'm sorry, I just said that the goal of the hero should be the goal, but at this moment, I'm getting entangled in this kind of thing—"

——My goal is different from yours.You act for salvation, I act for you.

He did say that before.

Because the ultimate goal of the Demon King is to gain the love of the brave, so just being called by his name makes him want to cry... Is that the case?

"No, but, that..." Unconsciously, the brave man stammered, "It's just a name..."

It's better to say, what else can you call it if you don't call it by name. "That former Demon King over there!"?

The Demon King quickly put down his hand, and showed a bright smile to the brave man: "It's really just a name, but I'm really very happy! Very, very——"

It has to be said that a beauty is a beauty no matter where she goes, even in such a harsh environment, the brave man is unconsciously caught by this smile.He turned his head in a bit of embarrassment, thinking that he had no right to blame the other party now.

Compared with himself who was shaken by "the smile of a man who is impossible to like", the Demon King who is happy because "the one he loves calls his name" seems to be more normal.

"No matter what, under the current situation, we have to find a way to get out quickly—"

Brave tried his best to bring the topic back on track.

He squinted and looked up.From this position, only the half-closed magic eye can be vaguely seen, and the broken cableway and Emily are completely gone.

"Hanging in mid-air like this is not an option. From a safety point of view, maybe it's better to go down now, but..."

The ropeway is broken.If it goes on like this, it will be even more difficult to reach the top.

"So, I want to continue to climb up." Brave said.

Up to the point where the cableway was cut off, they could only use these spikes and the uneven parts of the cliff to borrow strength, and Miss Emily might attack again at any time, so it can be said that there were many crises and difficulties.But, that's better than giving up.

"Well..." The Demon King replied ambiguously.

"Ah, you can go back first. I can go up here by myself. Although it is not easy to go back from here... Anyway, this is for you."

The brave man took a few extra spikes and handed them over.This is a spare prop prepared during previous adventures.

The demon king's physique was poor, and he was easy to be the target of that monster's attack. It didn't help him in the process of climbing up, and he just suffered in vain.

"No, actually I was thinking," the devil habitually held his chin, "maybe there is an easier way—"

"……easy?"

The Demon King didn't speak for the time being, but just took out the big purple medicine bottle and started to drink.After a lot of tossing just now, his health bar and strength bar have dropped a lot.

The brave man looked puzzled.

At this time, a special piercing sound attracted his attention.

The black monster—the fully demonized Emily folded its wings and rode down in the wind.

Her streamlined body was wrapped in the strong wind, and she looked particularly abrupt. She flew towards the two of them like a bullet, and her membrane wings suddenly opened, changing to a suspended posture in the air.

"Hahahahahaha! What a mess this is, Lord Brave!"

Although there was no expression on that face, everyone knew that she must be smiling mockingly at this moment.

However, this place is still within the envelope of the "Eye of Nothingness" spell, and she is still unable to attack, so there is nothing to be afraid of for the time being.

"I lost the only ladder I used to climb, and I can only hang dangerously in the air. If I don't pay attention, I will be smashed to pieces. There is nothing around me to rely on. Must be very sad? Must be very lost?"

She was flying up and down with extra pleasure.

"I know that even in the face of such difficulties, you will definitely choose to go forward, even if you can only rely on your hands, feet and a few climbing nails. You are the kind of man who can do anything with just perseverance. But , there is a better opportunity in front of you—”

She squinted her eyes and approached this side, and suddenly stretched out her long sharp claws.

"—Come rely on me."

"...What did you say?" The brave man looked at her fixedly.

"Look, don't I have wings?" She twirled her body showing off, "Very strong wings, strong enough to withstand such a storm. With these wings, I can easily fly to the top of the cliff. No problem. Do you understand? As soon as you ask—as long as you bow your head and say sincerely, please, Miss Emily, please help me, and I'll take you up."

"Oh," the brave man didn't speak, but the demon king said with great interest, "You are unexpectedly kind."

"Of course, this kind of special service is only given to Mr. Brave. And no one likes to touch you. Even if Mr. Brave kneels down to beg me, I will never agree. Wait to die?"

The witch let out a string of laughter like silver bells, and got closer.

"Then, Mr. Brave, come and grab my hand and come into my arms. As long as you are willing to throw yourself into my arms, I can take you to the ends of the earth?"

——Is this unrestrained monster really Miss Emily?Is it really that reserved and proud girl who is ashamed to express her love?

Despite having the same voice, the same haughty accent, and a similar build, the hero felt a wave of disgust.It seems to be a monster borrowing the posture of an old man, no, maybe this is the truth.

"No," he replied coldly, "I will never ask the enemy for mercy."

"Besides," the demon king said lazily behind him, "are those wings amazing? As a demon, they are ridiculously weak. If you must fly, the hero should rely on me, not you This guy."

He grabbed the brave man by the waist.

——Didn’t it be said that physical contact should not be allowed?The brave man was a little puzzled, but he didn't struggle to resist, considering that it would be too ignorant to speak in such an atmosphere.

next moment.

With the arms around the waist as the fulcrum, his body received a completely different, upward pull.

"Because, now I am the companion of the brave. You stupid women are just past tense!"

An abnormally directed airflow blows from behind, blowing the brave man's sideburns and clothes in the opposite direction.

The brave man hurriedly turned his head, and then saw——

wing.

A pair of larger and more powerful black membranous wings belonging to the demon clan stretched out behind the demon king.With just a slight vibration, a storm was set off, driving the two of them away from the cliff.

"Brave, take your sword." The Demon King said.

The brave man did so in a daze, and pulled out the holy sword from the rock wall.Only then did the witch recover from the shock and let out a scream.

"Impossible! You—why there is, why can you fly!"

"Of course I can fly. Even a miscellaneous card like you can grow wings. I'm a pure-blood demon lord. Isn't it natural to have wings!"

"But—this—"

Brave understands Emily's shock.Before this, the group of them had never seen the flying posture of the Demon King; they didn't even have wings when they appeared as a BOSS. It stands to reason that they should not have any now that they have lost the status of the Demon King.

They thought that the devil king was a breed that was born unable to fly.

"Are you ready, brave? If it's ready, I'm going to fly up."

"Ah... oh."

"Wait... just stop!"

Under the understatement of the pair of membranous wings, the two of them went up against the wind like arrows leaving the string, pierced through the heavy clouds and mist, threw the witch below, flew over the "Eye of Nothingness", and flew past the broken cableway.

His cheeks were sore from the wind pressure, his limbs were numb and he lost consciousness.Even the voice seemed to be left far behind.

It seems that there is only a little temperature left behind me in the whole world.

Seemingly rising endlessly, the two headed straight for the light above their heads.Breaking through the distance that I don't know how long it will take to climb in an instant, and rushing straight to the top——

The whole process took about one to two minutes.

The top of the cliff is a small platform ten meters square, bare, only a platform for placing elemental stones in the middle, and a small switch—probably the switch for teleporting back to the bottom of the cliff.

The Demon King put the brave man on the platform, then fell to the ground with a plop, and remained motionless for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" The brave man was taken aback, he didn't bother to get the elemental stone, and quickly squatted down beside him, "Are you injured?"

"Ah~ah," the demon king made a muffled voice with his face down, "I'm so exhausted..."

The pair of membranous wings turned into spots of light and dissipated, and the black cloak that was originally propped up by the wings hung back on its back again.

"……Eh?"

"Ah, I'm fine." The Demon King raised half of his face and waved his hands weakly at him, "Brave man, go get it first, that... elemental stone."

"What's the matter?" Elemental stones are of course important, but for the brave, companions always have the highest priority.

"It's really nothing..."

After taking a few breaths, the Demon King said in a low voice, "That's right, it's a little... a bit overdrawn, just take a rest. Go get it quickly, doesn't it mean that only the props you have bought are your own, and everything is close at hand. , if the ship capsizes, it will be over."

... There is still time to gossip, it seems that it shouldn't matter.

The brave man took off the wind elemental stone, and then activated the switch.I saw a dark space door floating next to the stone platform—it really was the return teleportation device.

When I looked back at the Demon King, I saw that he had turned over and sat up, and took another bottle of purple potion and gulped it down. After drinking, he finally regained a little vitality.

"How about it?"

"It's all right now," the Demon King threw the bottle over and said with a sigh, "Hero, I didn't mean to keep you from knowing about the wings..."
