The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

"Wow, really, it's really flying!" Annie watched her feet start to move further and further away from the ground, but she was really taken aback. For ordinary people, it is simply impossible to go to the sky. It is a privilege that belongs to the magician and the truly super strong.

Hearing Annie's voice mixed with surprise and excitement in his arms, Ulysses smiled happily. If this makes her feel happy, then just keep flying like this.

How long can he support flying now? One hour, or longer, the new body seems to be a lot different from the previous one, not only the recovery speed of magic power is much faster, but also the perception of the surroundings is much more acute. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so easy to feel the connection between himself and the group of Apostles and Fari's contract just now.

Has the power of the realm of infinite desire strengthened again? Ulysses had more experience with this power from the demon king named Astaroth.

It doesn't have to be in battle or cultivation for this kind of power to grow. Even in daily life, you only need to have a strong will and a dedication to power, then it will continue to provide power. Just like now, when he hugged Annie and wandered freely in the air.

Walking in the air sounds much easier than flying at high speed. But if you add a person and need to maintain the most stable posture, the difficulty is not as simple as one plus one, but a straight rise in geometric levels.

Because Annie's stamina and endurance levels are below normal, Ulysses can be said to love small animals and prevent her from getting hurt. When she was in the air, she even took the initiative to open a small shield of light to block all the cold wind for her.

"It's so warm..." Nestled in Ulysses' arms, Annie put her head on his shoulder. Although she was in the air which was a kilometer above the ground, she didn't feel the cold at all, a faint warmth surrounded her, like the sunshine in winter.

It would be great if time could stop like this. Annie prayed, though, this is an extravagant hope that even God can't realize.

"Annie, is there any place you want to go?" The question was almost exactly the same as before. However, Ulysses now has proven that he can really take Annie anywhere.

"That lake." This time, Annie didn't refuse again. It refers to a small lake that can be overlooked from the sky.

The lake was not very far away from where Ulysses and Annie stood now. Seen from the sky, under the soft moonlight of the night sky, the cool lake water exudes beautiful silver light, as beautiful as a silver mirror dotted on the dark earth.

Still don't want to trouble me? Really, it's almost exactly the same as Yulia... A trace of sadness flashed in Ulysses' eyes.

Sometimes, the younger sister is too strong, which is also an annoyance for the older brother. It would be great if I could know more clearly what my sister was thinking. It is a pity that he has no talent at all in guessing the mind of a girl.

However, fortunately, it seems that Annie really likes the look of the lake, not really trying to force herself. Next time, when you take her out, pay attention to whether there is any scenery around you to see.

With this thought, Ulysses flew to the sky above the lake with an eager expression of Annie, and then fell from the sky.

Although it was late at night, because of the moonlight in the sky and the reflection of the lake surface, the shore of the lake did not appear gloomy, but was full of a mysterious and quiet atmosphere unique to a moonlit night.

However, it seems that the guests here are more than Ulysses and Annie. In the gloomy forest, there are a few gleaming green eyes that have stared at the two humans falling from the sky...

"Annie, wait a moment." After sensing the uninvited guests who might frighten Annie, Ulysses gently patted her on the shoulder, letting a white light guard her, and then walked to the shore of the lake. In the forest.

"Snapped!"

"Roar!"

"Hey!"

"Woo!"

A few minutes later, Ulysses walked out of the forest easily, drew a cross on his chest, and smiled as he was done.

"Brother, is there anything?" Annie looked at the dark and secluded forest curiously. The forest at night looks extremely terrible, maybe there are any monsters in it.

"It's nothing, just a few small animals." Ulysses shook his head. Such small things are not worth mentioning.

In the forest, several small animals (including three giant lightning leopards, a black ghost tiger, and a huge black python) that were hung upside down on a large tree burst into tears...

In the cold moonlight, Annie, bare-footed, humming a brisk little tune, walked up and down on the beach time and time again, leaving shallow footprints one after another. It seems that this very simple action has completely fascinated her.

"Like it here?" Leaning on a big tree, Ulysses smiled and looked at Annie, who was walking around happily.

"Like it!" Annie nodded without hesitation, then lifted one side of the skirt corner with both hands, and happily made a circle on the beach.

The light movements and graceful posture are particularly charming under the moonlight. Just like the elves dancing in the moonlight in a fairy tale.

In Ulysses' eyes, Annie's every move reminded him of the past that he had forgotten. The good memories, the sad memories, the funny memories, the sighing memories, all came up together.

Both good memories and bad memories are remembered. Perhaps it was because of deliberately forgetting for too long, when he really remembered it, it became clearer instead. Even some scenes that he thought he had forgotten returned to his mind.

...

"Brother, how far it is forever." Yu Liya asked curiously about Ulysses who was lying under the tree, facing the sky in a daze.

"Probably, it's very, very far." Of course Ulysses could not answer such a profound question. In fact, at that time, his mind was full of light magic magic that he had cultivated. Because the aptitude is too ordinary, no matter how hard he tries, the progress of light magic is still very small. If he hadn't had the ideal of becoming a priest, he might have given up long ago.

Recently, the time spent with Yulia and Laxia has decreased a lot due to the practice of light magic, so that Yulia seems to be a little unhappy. Up. Therefore, today he specially took time out to rest in this secret valley with Yulia.

Laxia had also made an appointment to come together today. However, she went out for a solo adventure yesterday, although the destination of the adventure seemed to be the hill on the right side of the village. However, it is a pity that after he and Yu Liya waited for her for more than an hour, they still couldn't wait for her at the agreed meeting place.

When I went to her house and asked, I realized that Laxia, who had set off for adventure early yesterday morning, has not yet returned... (The hill on the right of the village seems to be able to run back and forth in a day)

So, now, it has evolved into a state where he and Yulia are alone together. Because Yu Liya's body is not very good, the weather is not very good and her body condition is also good, it is impossible to come to such a far place. Generally speaking, he and Laxia came with her. It's really rare for two people to be here alone today.

The warm sun shone from above the valley, and it was warm, making Ulysses feel very comfortable. Recently, his sleep state has gone from bad to worse due to studying the book that records the basic magic of the light system all night. However, recently, he finally memorized it. Now, even if he doesn't need to bring that book, he can practice light element primary magic anytime and anywhere.

Ah, the sun is so warm, it makes you want to sleep...

"Brother!" Yulia, who had finally been alone with her favorite brother, shook Ulysses' body very hard. It is a pity that that little power is not enough to wake Ulysses who has fallen into the temptation of the Sandman.

"Ah, my sister, let me rest." Under such warm sunlight, Ulysses, who had stayed up all night for several days, unconsciously stretched out his hand, and then caressed Yulia's face by accident.

"Ah..." Yulia's face turned red when she was touched by Ulysses' hand. Although this action is very ordinary, but when the two are alone together, for some reason, her heartbeat seems to speed up.

"Huh..." Unknowingly, Ulysses had fallen asleep. However, that hand still stayed on Yulia's skin.

"Really, brother." Yulia sat down beside Ulysses, then looked up at the blue sky.

"Angel, is it really there?" Because of the relationship between her elder brother and her mother, Yu Liya has some understanding of the faith of the Supreme God. Although she herself did not deliberately believe in the **** who is said to be omnipotent, the beautiful angel she saw in the story book made her like it very much.

Because the paintings of those angels are really beautiful.

"Brother, Brother Ulysses." Yulia lay down with her favorite brother's name softly. Then, in the dimness, fell asleep with Ulysses.

When Ulysses woke up, the sun was about to set. The light of the setting sun shone from the other side of the mountain, although it still had a hint of warmth, but it was getting weaker and weaker. Judging from the distance between the sun and the horizon, it will be night in another half an hour.

And the distance from this secret valley to the village is about an hour, and finally through a small forest. If you leave at night, it is a bit troublesome for him and Yulia who are not adults yet.

Really, why didn't Yu Liya wake him up? It's so late. Ulysses, who complained a little bit, looked around, and found his sister lying beside him.

"What? It turns out that you are asleep too, more asleep than I am." Ulysses shook his head and sighed. In this way, the two of them are almost exclusively here to sleep. If you knew that, it would be better to sleep comfortably at home, so why bother to come here.

"It's time to get up, Yulia." Ulysses patted his sister on the shoulder lightly, and then found that it didn't help at all, but Yulia fell asleep completely.

It is not easy for your sister to scream once she slept. This point, Ulysses, who slept in a bed with Yulia for many years, knew nothing better.

"No way, it seems that there is only that way." Ulysses shrugged and decided to use the fourth plan for his sister.

In fact, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. Yulia, who is not physically strong, will easily go into a dormant state due to exhaustion when playing with Laxia and him. At this time, she needs a strong shoulder to carry her back to the village. It's a pity that the powerful shoulder is not Ulysses, but Rasha, a genius swordsman with superhuman strength and endurance.

Laxia is not here today, so Ulysses can only helplessly appear as "Powerful Shoulder". Fortunately, Yu Liya's body is very light. At least, much lighter than Laxia. If it was Rasha, Ulysses would give priority to returning to the village by himself, and then calling someone over. (Laxia: Ulysses, are you going to die!)

"Let go of your heart, give you wings, acceleration." Ulysses first added an acceleration to himself, then put Yulia's petite body on her back and began to move towards the village.

Twenty minutes later, Ulysses began to admire Laxia sincerely, and she could run back to the village without changing her face and carrying Yulia on her back. And he just walked with her on his back for twenty minutes, and he also added an acceleration technique to himself, but he had already begun to have symptoms that he needed to rest.

Lack of stamina is a fatal injury to the wizard, Ulysses sighed. This weakness of the spellcasting profession is said to be less than 7th level, and it is impossible to fundamentally change. Unless it is those violent shamans of the orc race, it is said that the totem poles they use are very thick and heavy, but they insert it into the ground as easy as eating.

"You must let Laxia come with you next time." If you don't know it, Ulysses is now fully aware of his fatal weakness in physical strength. However, he didn't have the idea of ​​putting Yu Liya down, but continued to move forward with a steady speed step by step towards the location of Mira Village. That little light is the best sign.

Yu Liya slowly opened her eyes, and her sleepiness gradually disappeared. Then she soon discovered that she was moving automatically. She is no stranger to this kind of feeling. Every time, when she is too tired to walk due to lack of physical strength, Sister Laxia carries her back.

I'm really sorry, this time, did you trouble Laxia again... You Liya blinked, and her sleepiness quickly disappeared.

Huh? It seems, that's not right... You Liya tried to open her eyes, and found that although the figure in front of her was very familiar, it was not like the figure of Sister La Xia who often carried her on her back. Moreover, the feeling of movement is different.

Sister Laxia's movement is steady and powerful, and she can feel her being carried. However, now, although the feeling of movement is also very stable, it seems that there is no such firm strength.

"Are you awake?" Of course Ulysses was aware of his sister's awakening. The time is really unfortunate, it just happens to be going through the grove. Although there is no creature that can be called a "beast" in this small forest, because the sun has basically set, the view will become very poor, and it is really not easy to go through.

Fortunately, he is a light wizard. Although he is only at an elementary level, he can still easily use the elementary light magic such as the Illumination Ball.

"Brother?" There was a hint of surprise and doubt in Yu Liya's voice. It seemed that she couldn't believe that the person carrying her was actually Ulysses who had the impression that her physical strength was only one level higher than her, which was like Ulysses who was not even a normal person.

"Is it surprising? The endurance and stability of light magic is very good, so don't underestimate it." Ulysses concentrated his mind and summoned a small light ball for lighting. This is the basic and enhanced version of Light Element Magic's introductory magic, which can be used by a Light Element Wizard.

"I, I can come down and walk." If it is Sister Laxia, Yulia can of course rest assured. But for her brother, she was very worried. Wouldn't he, he would fall down before reaching the village of Mira?

"It's okay, just go through here and you will be there soon. Don't worry, I will protect you." Ulysses said nonchalantly. Since I have already carried it here, I can just carry it back home in one breath, there is not much distance anyway.

"Is it really okay?" Yulia had no confidence in Ulysses' physical strength.

"Don't underestimate people, Yulia, haven't you already been here." Ulysses became a little angry. It turns out that his physical strength is so vulnerable in the eyes of his sister? Taking ten thousand steps back, doesn't he still have light magic.

"Well, thank you, brother." Yulia gently hugged Ulysses's body with her hands. This kind of warm feeling, as well as the feeling of peace of mind, is different from Sister Laxia, completely different. If you can, it would be nice to be memorized by my brother next time.

"You're welcome, I'm the older brother." Ulysses smiled, taking care of his lovely sister, which is a matter of course.

However, the night road at night is really hard to walk. If it weren't for the lighting ball, it would take him more than three times the time to find the right path back.

Fortunately, there are only a few small animals in the woods, and the larger beasts have all been cleared by the soldiers in the village. Only small animals such as rabbits and birds are left. People in the village often come here for picnics when the sun is good.

If you meet a beast here...

"Huh!" Less than a hundred meters away from Ulysses and Yulia, there was a strong and powerful swaying sound of branches, causing the heartbeat of the two to jump from sixty to one hundred.

"Brother, what's that sound?" Yulia's voice trembled a little.

"The sound of the wind, it must be the sound of the wind!" Ulysses said decisively.

What a joke, how can there be beasts here? It's only a few hundred meters away from the village. The beasts around here have been cleaned up countless times by the strong men in the village, and no beast does not know that this is the chassis of the strong human beings. According to the defense concept of the beasts, this place belongs to the hunting field of monsters like "humans", and it is impossible to invade.

"Papa!" There was another sound, this time it was louder and clearer than the previous one. Moreover, it is completely different from the sound of the wind blowing leaves.

"Brother, what sound is that?" Yulia's voice seemed to be even more frightened.

"This..." Even Ulysses could no longer ignore the facts and say that it was the sound of the wind this time. Moreover, to make matters worse, the voice seemed to be advancing violently in this direction.

"Plap! Pap!" This strong and powerful voice is definitely not something ordinary animals can make. Foxes and wild dogs are not qualified, at least they are at the level of tigers and lions. For entry-level light wizards and Yulia like Ulysses, it is completely impossible to defeat opponents.

"Ka! Boom!" A more violent voice came, seemingly accompanied by some gasping voice. In the blur, Ulysses saw a tree with a bowl-thick mouth crashing down.

No, his estimate just now is far from enough. It is more terrifying than ordinary tigers and lions that can make such a loud sound and influence. In addition to ignoring the fixed field that has formed around it, it is very likely that this is a vicious beast that ran out of the mountains.

Only this kind of big guy can act so unscrupulously, ignoring the surrounding area that has been divided by various beasts. Because it has the absolute power to kill all beasts. In recent years, more than one hunter in the village has been attacked by this kind of monster.

This kind of big guy, even a well-trained warrior is not necessarily an opponent, not to mention Juss, who can be said to have no offensive power, and Yulia, who has no power to escape.

Moreover, judging from the path of this big guy, he did not hesitate to move in a straight line towards the position where he and Yulia were. In other words, they have become its prey.

What should I do at this time! What should I do? Climbing a tree? However, since the monster can easily sweep through the trees with the thickness of the bowl, it is useless even if he takes Yulia to climb the surrounding trees. The thickest tree around here is nothing more than a human being. With the power of that monster, it's nothing at all.

It is even more impossible to escape. With Yulia on his back, he moves faster than ordinary people, let alone compares with this kind of monster. You don't have to run a few steps, you will definitely be caught up.

Fight, this... Ulysses checked his own armament, a piece of cloth, a knife, and a notebook. This knife is not a small knife that can cut everything in the legend. The note is not a note that can be used to start the curse of death by writing the name or seeing the opponent. The clothes are ordinary cloth that even Yulia can tear. How can such equipment be able to fight the monsters that can easily break trees?

There is no way to hide! There is no way to escape! There is no way to fight! So, what should I do! Ulysses felt a mess in his mind. At this time, he really didn't have any way to escape the crisis, who was just a junior light wizard.

"Brother, put me down." Yulia's voice no longer trembled, but was full of firm belief. It seems that when Ulysses did not know, she had already made some important decision.

"Well, but Yulia, your speed is slower than mine, is that okay?" At this time, Ulysses couldn't hide anything.

The sound of the monster on the opposite side was getting louder and louder, without any intention of hiding its tracks at all. This also means that in the eyes of that monster, he and Yu Liya are simply prey at their fingertips, and there is no need to cover up, just rush over and eat them.

Sadly, this is indeed reality. No matter what Ulysses thinks, there is no possibility of escape. The power gap between the two sides is really too big.

"Brother, let's run separately, here is not far from the village, as long as we can run to the vicinity, call someone to come." You Liya proposed the most possible plan. Indeed, in this case, this is probably the only way.

However, judging from the speed of action, there is no doubt that Ulysses is faster. In this case, Yu Liya is much more dangerous.

"There is no time, I will pretend to be dead, this is my stunt! And, I remember there is a tree hole there, as long as I run in and hide and pretend to be dead." Yulia said confidently.

This is true, because Yulia is often at rest due to lack of physical strength, so it is not wrong to say that she will do that. However, is there a tree hole there? Why didn't he have any impression.

"Then, let's run separately, Yulia, you go over there." Although this method is not safe, it is already the best method Juss knows. To this end, he specially put the ball of light in front of him, illuminating the road, and preparing for the fastest rush in his life. In this way, he should be more conspicuous, hoping to draw the monster's attention.

"I know, brother, come on. Don't look back, run with all your strength." Yulia nodded, then turned around immediately.

"Then, run!" Ulysses didn't have time to think so much, and ran toward the village at the fastest speed. The power of acceleration is still there, and now he runs faster than usual. As long as you run to a location not far from the village, you can immediately call for someone to come. There are several warriors in the village. If they gather together, it will be okay to destroy a few monsters.

With his heart beating violently, Ulysses could swear that he had never run so fast before. Moreover, because of the high concentration of energy, even the sound of the monsters getting closer and the sound of another starting to run can be heard clearly.

However, the sound of the footsteps seemed a little strange, and Ulysses couldn't help turning his head back. Then all of a sudden, the whole person solidified, as if hit by petrified magic.

Because his stupid sister actually ran in the wrong direction in a panic. Instead of running in the direction of the secret tree hole she said, she ran in the direction where the monster came. According to that trend, she didn't need to wait for him to call someone, she would put herself in the monster's mouth.

"That idiot!" Realizing this, Ulysses turned around without hesitation. What are you doing, how can you make such a big mistake when it's most important! No, she must be brought back.

Ulysses, who was blessed by the acceleration technique, quickly caught up with Yulia, who was obviously weak, and then pulled her hard. However, unexpectedly, Yulia, who has always listened to Ulysses' words, showed an unusually rebellious mood.

"No, no, brother!"

"Wrong, Yulia, where are you going? Hurry, no time!" According to Ulysses's visual observation, the monster with great power is already less than 30 meters away from them, and it can even be done. Seeing the dense trees over there began to shake violently.

"I didn't get the wrong direction, brother, as long as I am alone is enough. Brother, you run, you can be saved." Yulia tried very hard to break free from Ulysses's hand. However, for her, this is an impossible task.

Didn't you get the wrong direction? When he heard these words, Ulysses was 100% sure that this must be his sister's flustered and hot-headed nonsense. It doesn't matter which direction she runs, but this direction alone is absolutely wrong. She treats that monster as non-existent!

As long as I am alone, this sentence completely stunned Ulysses. At first, he didn't understand what this meant. Whatever one person is enough, what he must be saved, he didn't even know what it was talking about. Until, he remembered a story.

That is a very philosophical story. It was about two close friends who went hunting in the forest. They met a lion. All their weapons had no effect on the lion. And this lion is not slow at all, at least, much faster than either of them.

At that time, one of them ran away without hesitation, without reminding his friend at all, and in the end he was saved.

"Why do you know that you must not be able to run the lion, but you ran away without hesitation?" Other people asked this man about his experience of salvation, and he only said:

"I don't need to run faster than the lion, as long as I run faster than my friend is enough." This is the answer, although it is cruel, but unusually realistic.

Yu Liya's actions are a bit similar to that story, but they are completely opposite.

"I know, brother, come on. Don't look back and run as hard as you can."

"I didn't get the wrong direction, brother, as long as I am alone is enough. Brother, you run, you can be saved."

From the beginning, she didn't intend to escape by herself. That secret tree hole might not have existed since the beginning.

What she wanted to do was to run to the monster by herself, and then use her life to buy him time. In that case, no matter whether he can call the soldiers from the village or not, she will not be rescued, she will be rescued, he is the only one.

Really, too stupid, she was a sister who was so stupid that she couldn't be stupid... At that moment, Ulysses felt hot in his eyes, and almost gave up the idea of ​​running away without hesitation.

"It's okay, just stay together. No matter where you are, I'll be with you, Yulia."

"Really, brother." Yu Liya's body slowly relaxed. She was really scared just now, so scared that she almost wanted to cry. However, no matter how scared, she did not stop her steps.

She ran desperately. For her who had been lacking in physical strength, running so fast almost immediately exhausted her whole body. If it hadn't been supported by strong enough conviction, she might have fallen long ago.

However, only this time, she would not fall down anyway. Before she saw the monster and didn't really buy time for her brother to escape, she would never fall, nor would she fall when she died.

Of course, the tree hole is deceptive. From the very beginning, she made a decision. Give up all my hopes and let my brother be rescued. This is the only thing she can do when she is weak and weak. She is not as strong as Sister Laxia, it is impossible to fight such a monster. Therefore, she can only use her own life to buy even a little more time for her brother.

The only thing that made her feel uneasy was that even if she sacrificed her life, with the power of that monster, it might still be possible to catch up with her brother. What should I do?

If, at this time, she has the strength, it will be fine!

If, at this time, she can swing the sword and knock down all the monsters like Sister Laxia!

If she was not as weak as she is now, she would be able to protect her elder brother one hundred percent, instead of using this gambling method.

When she saw her brother coming back to be by her side, she was so moved that she cried. However, this is wrong, it should not be, how could she put her brother in such a big danger because of herself!

Strength, she yearns for a powerful force, the power that can be used to protect her brother, and the power that can make her weak and weak to fight. No matter what the price is, she wants that kind of power.

"Pop!" A sharp light flashed, and the bushes in front of Ulysses and Yulia were blown away at once. The scattered branches and leaves rushed along with a powerful murderous intent, which was enough to make people freeze their blood. Powerful murderous.

Then, a huge weapon companion appeared in front of the two of them, and the monster that gave them terrifying pressure finally appeared under the moonlight.

"Ah, I finally saw someone. Hey, it was Ulysses you guys! Why are you so surprised? I'm sorry I was late, but it's not my fault, it's just a little wrong way. Right. Now, where is this place? Are you also out for adventure?" Rasha asked curiously, carrying a huge epee and heading out yesterday to take an adventure on the hill next to the village.

...
