Lord Demon is behind you

There were bang bang bangs on the opposite side, each sound getting stronger and stronger, and the whole corridor seemed to be shaking.

In less than two seconds, the door was knocked out of the door frame and fell outwards, stirring up a cloud of dust.In the smoke, a white shadow jumped out like lightning.

"How can an obstacle of this level stop me! It's useless to run away, my lord!"

Xuelu locked the position of the brave man at a glance, and rushed straight to this side.

"—Gate of Devouring!"

When there was no time left, a large pitch-black vortex emerged from the opposite side, and while spinning, it emitted a strong suction force—it was the high-level dark spell, the gate of devouring.

Caught off guard, even Xuelu was dragged by this suction and staggered for several steps, had to lower her body to lower her center of gravity, and managed to stabilize herself.

"You maggot from the devil world..." Xuelu growled angrily, "Come out and get in the way at such a time... I'm so annoying!"

"What a crazy woman who has no understanding. The timing of my appearance is obviously the best! Otherwise, wouldn't it be too late to wait for you to catch the brave man?"

The devil came out from behind the side door, looking as if he had been prepared.

"Eh?" Olga blurted out a puzzled voice, "How did you, the previous generation, appear so timely? The room is clearly soundproof! I was going to call—"

Seeing him like this, it was obvious that he had been waiting nearby.

"If you think about this kind of thing, you will know it! The brave man has given enough hints. If I can't guess his plan, I am not worthy to be his companion. Right brave man?"

While the brave man was still hesitating whether to pretend he didn't hear it or to respond, Xuelu screamed on the other side.

"—It's really...hateful!"

Xuelu screamed, the ends of her limbs gradually stained black, "What's there to show off, it's just a temporary companion! That kind of relationship doesn't even count as a real bond!... Even if you have been together for many years We all lost one by one, how could you let this guy..."

The floor beneath her crumbled in all directions in a spider web.

With her strengthened feet, she withstood the suction force brought by the "gate of devouring" magic and forcibly stood up straight.

"Only you, I will never—!"

"The reverse is also true. For a crazy woman like you, I will never have any mercy! Brave, don't worry. Leave this to me!"

Unknowingly, a white magic scroll appeared in the Demon King's hand.It is not the same as the one used before, it seems to be a fairly advanced scroll.

"...A scroll of light?"

When dealing with Xuelu, isn't light magic only counterproductive...?However, the Demon King was determined to win.

"Crazy witch, your role is over!" He shook the scroll vigorously, and the runes on it radiated dazzling brilliance, "Prisoner of Light!"

A cross-shaped light appeared above Xuelu's head.

"—!"

Xuelu's face suddenly changed.She immediately jumped to dodge, but her speed was somewhat hindered by the "Gate of Devouring", and finally she was brushed aside by the projected white light.

"Goo, woo..."

As if stuck by something, her movements became very slow, and her body couldn't leave the original position at all.The white light gradually gathered around her, binding her like a rope.

"Indeed, light spells have compatibility with you, not only can't cause any harm to you, but will restore your health," the demon king dragged his chin, showing a meaningful smile, "but... if it is a control spell of light attribute, The control effect won't just go away."

"Prison of Light", an advanced light spell.Although the attack power is so low that it is almost nothing, it has the effect of sealing, weakening, binding feet and other abnormal conditions.

"Your movement speed has been deprived!"

The demon king raised his cloak, put one hand on his forehead, and assumed his favorite posture, "Now you are like a fish on a chopping board, and you can only be slaughtered by me. Well, get ready and accept the secret of darkness." Baptize!"

The brave man exhaled lightly, and also took an offensive posture.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xuelu. I want to... wipe you out here."

Up to now, Xuelu has fallen into a strange silence.She no longer just stared at the brave man, but looked over the brave man's shoulder and looked behind him——

Just one second before the brave man swung his sword forward, strange changes suddenly occurred around her.

The ground hummed.The originally neat floor cracked, and several walls made of masonry rose from the ground, but in a short moment, they went straight through the entire space, growing to the ceiling, completely enclosing the snow dew inside the brick walls.

"This is--"

This is not the effect of any spell or skill, but - a change in the ground itself.

The Demon King stopped chanting the incantation, and suddenly turned to the magic image not far away.

"Hey! That cat girl over there, did you do it?"

At the other end of the image, Olga has recovered her flawless smile.

"It is indeed meow. Thanks to the previous generation who successfully contained her, Olga, I added a few maze walls in time to lock her in meow! Oh, meow, as expected of the previous generation, it is indeed very good in actual combat Meow!"

However, the Demon King would not be easily fooled by her like this, but instead sullenly sullenly.

"Doing this kind of thing at a time like this...Which side are you on?"

Obviously, Olga and Xuelu have a bad relationship and even oppose each other.Just now, Xuelu violated the rules she made and attacked the brave man without permission on her floor, which can be regarded as completely tearing her face apart.

However, when Xuelu lost her ability to resist and could only be beaten by the devil and the brave man, she built a wall to completely separate them from Xuelu—this kind of behavior is nothing compared to helping the brave man. It's helping Xuelu.

"Oh, oh, what..." Olga put her fingers on her lips, as if trying to get away with it.

"...Forget it," the brave man struggled for a moment, then held the Demon King's shoulder apologetically, "Olga has her position after all."

However, in the final analysis, the Demon King was helping him eliminate the witch, but in the end it was he who stopped the Demon King from continuing to question him... I always felt that I was weird.

"You're wrong again, brave man," the Demon King didn't give in directly, "the demons don't have any sense of companionship, not even a sense of fellowship. From their point of view, they are individuals who have nothing to do with each other." —Have you forgotten about the second floor?"

When he said this, the brave man belatedly recalled Emily and Stella's attitude towards each other when they fought side by side.

"So, this cat girl helped that crazy woman definitely not out of any sense of mutual help," the demon king turned back to stare at the image, "—the demons only act for their own goals. So, you are fighting to the end What kind of abacus, why do you want to do this?"

"...Not really, meow. The previous generation, don't think of him so darkly, okay?"

Hearing this, Olga puffed up her cheeks unhappily.

"For reasons, I can tell you meow. Olga, I was originally in the logistics department, and my combat power was zero. I couldn't help much before. So I don't like fighting very much... Now it's rare to be able to control an area by myself. Their ideal is to turn their own area into a truce zone, meow!"

"A truce... zone?"

This answer was beyond their expectations.

"That's exactly meow. The Brave One just needs to relax and rest as he pleases, and he doesn't need to be wary of any danger—Olga, what I want is a floor like this! Although..."

She bowed deeply, "Because of my mistake, you were attacked unexpectedly. I'm very sorry, Olga will pay more attention to meow! Now the room has been rearranged. Please go back to the room Rest here meow, ah, the previous generation, please go back to the room now, Olga promises that there will be no similar situation again meow!"

How should I put it, opening up a safe zone inside the Demon King's City or something... She is really extraordinary and ambitious.

The brave man remembered the question after passing the first test room.

"—What is her obsession?"

Will it be this?Hope you can avoid fighting and get along peacefully forever...?

"Now there is no other way but to satisfy Olga's wish." Thinking of this, he walked towards the door decisively, "Let's go and rest here first."

"Oh, oh, since the hero said so, then let's do it."

The demon king behind him seemed a little suspicious, but he didn't object any further.

The brave man opened the door and looked back, only to find that the devil was still standing there.

"...Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I still have to sleep, but..."

A familiar conversation.The brave man let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, it's rare that you have arranged everything and perfectly controlled the enemy, but I missed the good time for nothing."

"No no, what are you talking about, brave man, there is no way to do it! And aren't we 'companions'? Apologies are too much to see."

Even so, he still looked forward to something, stood there and looked at this side without moving.

"Uh, so... are you not going to bed?"

"I'll go after the brave enters the room."

If that's the case, you don't have to keep staring here...

Stared at by this kind of eyes, he felt that he couldn't go in the door calmly.

Could it be that he was waiting for what he would say?But the previous requirement of "you must separate the two rooms to pass" should still be valid—no, no, even if it didn't work, he wouldn't be able to invite the other party into the room, right?

Or, are you waiting for yourself to say something?Could it be—

The brave man suddenly blurted out with great happiness.

"Good night, ... Albert."

"--Um!"

As if the long-hanging wish suddenly came true, the Demon King raised his hand and responded loudly as if pouring chicken blood, and then ran to his room door contentedly.

"Good night, brave!"

He bounced and disappeared behind the door.

"..."

This, how should I put it.Always felt……

The brave man touched his heart, which was suddenly hot, and his face was complicated for a moment.

As Olga said, the room has been restored to a spotless appearance.

The brave man replaced the heavy leather armor and shoulder pads, and after a brief tidying up, he lay down on the soft bed.The comfortable touch of the cotton fabric came from under the body, the light at the head of the bed was also adjusted to the minimum, and the faint fragrance of plants wafted in the dark room——

It will not be depressing due to redundant decorations, nor will it be inconvenient to use due to ill-considered design. It is impeccable as a hotel, and it is indeed the result of Olga's careful preparation.

However, in such a perfect resting environment, the extremely tired body could not fall asleep immediately.

After turning over for an unknown number of times, the brave simply sat up, stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, and then pulled down the service bell rope next to the bed again.

"Can't you sleep?"

The magic image appeared not far away, and Olga smiled knowingly.

"Do you want Olga to heat you a cup of milk? Meow? You can also provide a midnight snack—ah, I'm sorry. The food cooked by Olga is obviously terrible..."

"Ah, about this matter—" the brave man remembered that he hadn't explained yet, "Actually, in the last room, we couldn't taste the food you prepared. Xuelu changed things in advance."

"So it's like this...Xuelu is really tenacious. Ah," she suddenly covered her lips and exclaimed, "That is to say, you haven't eaten anything all this time? I'm going to cook something for you now—"

"No need," the brave waved his hands again and again, "Actually..."

It's strange to be able to talk to the witch calmly like this.However, the brave felt that if there was a breakthrough for the enemy, it would most likely be here with Olga.

"Actually, we have some things that we don't quite understand. I want to ask you a little bit—ah, if it's difficult to answer, it's okay if you don't say it."

The brave has many questions about the Witch and her party, about Xuelu, and about Olga.

"...'we', ah."

Olga repeated the word inexplicably.

"It's completely okay to ask questions, meow! Olga has no obligation to keep the witch a secret, and you are the brave man who asked the question, so I must know everything. However, Olga also has some questions that she wants to know the answer to. If so, I also hope that the brave man can answer me meow."

"Huh? Ah, of course."

However, the brave didn't think there was anything worth asking on his side.

"Thank you Brave-sama! Then Olga will ask questions first."

Catwoman folded her hands together and placed them on her chest.

"What do you think... the previous generation?"

The author has something to say:

I feel a little bit crazy lately...

I had a dream last night, I actually dreamed that I was holding a holy sword, and with a beautiful young lady, went to the bottom of a beautiful waterfall together, and fought the boss to the death (the eyes are dead)
