Lord Demon is behind you

Consciousness is squeezed repeatedly in the huge flow of magic power, advancing rapidly like a torrent, breaking into an entire unknown territory.

The souls that were on the verge of being broken were brought together again.After an unknown amount of time, the brave man suddenly woke up and opened his eyes suddenly——

He was standing in a field of golden wheat.It must have been blown by the wind, and the ears of wheat swayed, forming spectacular waves; however, I did not experience the real feeling of the breeze blowing.His body seemed a little sluggish, and his whole body was light; he tried to twist his arm, but he felt almost no pain.

This feeling is very similar to the time when I was trapped in a dream before.

——Looks like... a success?Did I successfully break into the illusion that traps the Demon King?

Such a random method actually works, even the brave himself was a little surprised.He also just held the mood of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't expect that the scroll of spiritualism would really have miraculous effects.

Is this the inside of the illusion?

Suppressing the emotion of a little excitement due to the successful intrusion, the brave man looked for the next direction while observing the surrounding environment.

Just like my own time, this "world" is a stage built based on the memory of a certain stage of the Demon King.At this time, he is an intruder, and he has no understanding of this illusion, nor does he know where he and the Demon King are at all, so he can only grope a little bit.

Shaka said that this illusion may last for hundreds of years——

Since this is a world born based on existing memories, it must only continue for the same length as existing memories.And the devil said that his age should be more than 500 years old, that is to say, is it possible that this place is his memory when he lived in the devil world hundreds of years ago?

In this time period, that guy is either the demon lord or the son of the lord.

This place... Could it be the Demon Realm?

The brave man came to the end of the wheat field, two or three steps across the field path, and looked up at the sky.

The sun hangs in a corner of the southern sky, and the whole sky is as clear and blue as if washed by water.

"Is the sky in the Demon Realm blue too..."

"Of course?" A rough bass voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the brave man's muttering.

Startled, the brave man instinctively took half a step back and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Because, no matter which world, the change law of the refractive index of air is the same."

From the opposite wheat field, a middle-aged man in full armor emerged.

The man was about 50 to [-] years old, with muscles all over his body, no weapons were seen on his body, but a strange-looking satchel was slung around his waist.At first glance, he looked like a powerful fighter, but his brows and eyes were full of burnout.

Seeing the brave man's guarded posture, he waved his hands as if it was commonplace.

"Are you new here? You don't need to be so wary. We are all human beings, and they are considered rare species in the Demon Realm. You must get along well with each other."

"Ah, oh... sorry."

The brave man let go of his sword hilt.

It seems that this is really the Demon World—to be precise, it is the Demon World in the memory of the Demon King.

"Don't be so nervous, young man," the other party nodded at him, "I've seen a lot of newcomers like you, and I always blindly imagine the devil world as the residence of demons and ghosts. Before you came, did you think that the sky in the devil world must be blood red? something like that?"

"Then... not at all..."

The brave man did not deliberately imagine the appearance of the Demon World.For him, the so-called "devil world" is just a concept.

However, the other party didn't pay attention to what he was saying, and just babbled on to himself.

"Oh - how is that possible? Regardless of the human world or the demon world, the basic laws of physics are always the same. The sky is blue and the grass is green. Even if the social structure of intelligent creatures is different..."

This uncle is unexpectedly long-winded.

Speaking of which, ordinary people in the illusion should be "constructed" based on the memory of the devil.However, a random passer-by has such a real personality; it seems that what Shaka said is "like a small world", is really not bragging.

"Excuse me," the brave man made up his mind to interrupt, "Actually, I got here for some reason, may I ask you about the situation in the Demon Realm?"

"Ah——, I know, I know. Young people like you often come to the Demon Realm as soon as your brains get hot, and you don't do any preparations at all, so you don't know anything..." The middle-aged soldier put on an understanding expression again Waving, "Come with me, the human village is over there."

——Is the Demon World a place you can come to just by thinking about it? !

The brave man followed behind the middle-aged uncle and walked slowly along the road.After listening to the other party's brief introduction, he finally understood the current situation a little bit——

This is indeed the Demon Realm hundreds of years ago.

During this period of time, there are still several small nodes in the human world that are connected to the demon world. As long as you have a certain strength, you can get through and go to the demon world through them.

Therefore, occasionally some human beings who hate human society come to the devil world in this way to seek their own ideals and survival.

That wheat field is just at the exit of the node, and the humans who came here have gathered together for a long time, forming a small village.

The Demon Realm knows and acquiesces to the existence of these humans, but has no intention of accepting them.This is also very understandable, no matter which ethnic group is willing to accept foreigners casually, unless——

"Switching from a human to a demon...?"

This kind of thing seems to have been mentioned by the Demon King before.

"That's what happened. Well, young people like you probably came to the Demon Realm just to become a Demon Race." , why do you have to be a demon, but I really have no position to blame you."

"No, I never thought of becoming a demon."

"what?"

The uncle stopped in surprise and looked at him again.

"...Then what are you doing here? You don't look like a criminal who is desperate in the world. Are you here to seek a new world of equality? The Demon World is not that kind of place..."

"I'm here to find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who?"

"Well, what I'm looking for... should be the lord of the demon world, or... the child of the lord's family."

The brave man said casually while looking into the distance.

The outline of the village gradually appeared on the opposite side of the field of vision, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"Haha...then it's still the same," the uncle heaved a sigh of relief, "It's still for transforming into a demon."

"No, so I really don't intend to switch..."

"Otherwise, what are you looking for the lord for? Humans want to see the lord of the demon world, isn't it just for the conversion ceremony."

The brave just kept his mouth shut.

The Demon King did mention before that, generally speaking, the transformation ceremony when transforming from a human into a demon needs to be led by a higher-level demon clan.Indeed, for ordinary human beings, apart from transformation, there is no other event that needs to be dealt with by the lord.

"If you want to switch, now is a good time." The uncle added.

According to him, the lord of the demon world will send special personnel to human villages from time to time, select the strongest people and bring them into the lord's mansion, and perform conversion rituals for them-this is almost the only way for humans to see the upper demons , so it is the most precious opportunity for all humans in this place.

"According to the notice a while ago, maybe demon guards will come over in the next two days... Then, people in the village who intend to convert will gather together and compete under the supervision of the guards. Only the strongest will be able to get places. .”

"In that case, why didn't you wait in the village?"

The timing of the appearance of the guards is uncertain.If they happened to be away when they came over, wouldn't they miss a rare opportunity?

"Me? I don't plan to participate in that kind of competition." The uncle waved his hand disapprovingly, "It's a life-and-death battle, even if you are killed by your opponent... I'm different from you young people, I just came here to survive This ghostly place. If you lose your life in the end, the gain outweighs the loss."

So that's the case, the brave guessed that the other party probably suffered some kind of persecution in the human world.It's not easy to ask this kind of personal matter——

"To tell you the truth, don't look at me like this. I was the deputy director of the King's Research Institute in the human world before."

... There is no need to ask at all, he said it without hesitation.

The brave man began to think seriously. Is this uncle next to him a real person in reality, a person in the memory of the Demon King, or an NPC temporarily created by Shaka to guide him...

He doesn't know much about the principle of spiritual power to construct illusions, and he doesn't understand the nature of human beings in illusions.

"At that time, I was in charge of research related to the Demon Realm. Later, I discovered something extraordinary, but I was almost killed by the higher-ups, so... ah."

At this time, the two were already very close to the village, and the simple houses and rough courtyards could be seen at a glance.At the entrance of the village, there is a group of people walking out, basically young people; behind them are many middle-aged and elderly people who are watching all the way, most of them are men.

"It seems that your luck is not very good." The uncle sighed regretfully at him, and pouted his lips in that direction, "Those are the guards of the Demon Realm—while we were chatting, they seemed to have been monitoring the villagers. The competition is over, and the converter for this round has been selected, and now I'm planning to go back to the lord's mansion."

Needless to say, Brave also noticed.

Of that party, the three leading were clearly not human.Even regardless of the membrane wings folded behind their backs, the aura exuded from their bodies alone is enough for any human being to appreciate the fact that the other party is a stronger race.

In the land of the demon world, the abilities of the demon race can be brought into full play.Even though the distance is still far away, the heavy pressure still makes it difficult to breathe.

Behind the three demons, followed by five or six stalwart humans, they should be the ones who got the conversion quota.

"Is it over yet..."

The brave man hurriedly asked, "How often does this kind of competition usually take place?"

"It's been said that it's not fixed...at least half a year, at most four or five years."

——It's been too long, I can't wait.

Immediately made a decision in his heart, the brave man immediately rushed towards the group of people.

"Sorry!" He shouted loudly when he rushed to the vicinity, "Excuse me—can you take me to meet the lord!"

"--Hey!"

The uncle followed behind him without knowing it, and was shocked when he heard the words, "What are you doing, young man! If you act casually, you will be killed—"

The brave stopped in time at a safe distance.Both demon guards and humans were attracted by him, and countless eyes focused on him for a moment.

"Sorry, I just came today," he bowed and bowed to the opposite side, "I missed the competition because I arrived too late, but I still want to see him anyway. If possible, please give me a chance—"

In a short glance, he had seen the decorations on the breastplates of the guards.That should be the family crest of the lord they served—remember that there is a similar crest on the demon king's cloak, but it is much more refined.

Most likely, that guy is the lord of the neighborhood.

Although it is not in line with the principles of the brave to stalk and forcefully make demands, but there is no other way at this time.But if there is a glimmer of hope, you must work hard to get it to the end.

Now only his consciousness has entered the illusion, and his body should still be left in place.If it had been delayed for a few months, the body would have been rotten to scum by the time I got out.

"Huh?" Before the demon guards could say anything, the humans roared uncontrollably, "Don't the newcomers even understand the rules?"

"If you're late, wait for the next time! It's nothing to run out suddenly—"

"Okay."

Unexpectedly, the leader of the demon guards responded immediately after seeing him.

"Hey, you," he pointed to the man who opposed the most among the five or six people, "in the competition just now, you were the last one, right? You go to fight against him, and if you lose, you will lose your Give him the spot."

"What—" the man immediately turned blue, "But, Lord Guard! I have already won the battle! Why did I have to deal with this guy who appeared out of nowhere—he obviously didn't follow the rules..."

"rule?"

The magic guard glanced at him indifferently, like a worker looking at goods on an assembly line.

"The demons have only one rule, that is, the strong are respected. There is nothing else."

"..." The human choked.

"We just obey the Lord Lord's order to pick the strongest human beings and take them there. It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as the strongest can be determined. Make no mistake, human beings," he waved his hand, letting the other The man retreated to give way to a piece of land, "Don't use the rules of human beings to break with us, of course the guy who is not strong enough does not deserve to have anything. As for you..."

He stared at the brave man again, his eyes seemed to be evaluating his value.

"If you are strong enough, you can go to see the lord."
