Chapter 678 Secret

The seal was lifted.

The iceberg was broken.

But the most important demon king was missing.

It must be said that this news was too shocking for Aurelia and others.

"How is it possible........."

Looking at the coffin in front of her, Aurelia couldn't believe it.

"Why is this happening? According to the legend, the demon king should be in the coffin..."

"Let me see."

Duanmu Huai reached out and pressed the edge of the coffin, and then his eyes gradually became deep and dim.

The world around him began to change, dim, and the blizzard with a whistling cold wind blew towards him. Duanmu Huai could feel that the coffin was shaking, and then it stopped. Then, the lid of the coffin opened, and a strange old face appeared in front of him.

"Can it really be sealed for five thousand years?"

"I don't know, but for now, this is the best way."

Another voice sounded, but Duanmu Huai couldn't see his face. He was just going back to the past through this coffin. As for what the coffin could feel, it was not something he could control.

"If I could, I really want to kill him directly."

"But you know it's impossible. If you kill him now, he will come back in three hundred years at most."

That's true.

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. This is the troublesome thing about subspace creatures. As soul creations, they are almost immortal. At most, they are treated differently when they are resurrected because of different races. Some of them can be resurrected again from infancy after death with their own memories, just like the protagonist of the rebirth stream. Some of them lose their memories after resurrection and become completely different people.

But no matter what, unless you have the ability of destined death like Duanmu Huai, which can even kill gods completely, or the power of the God of Destruction to completely destroy everything, it is better to seal it directly than to kill the other party and wait for the other party to come back after three hundred years.

If you are lucky, sealing it for five thousand or ten thousand years is much more cost-effective than killing it directly.

So most worlds deal with subspace creatures by basically sealing them.

As for whether the devil king who has gone crazy in prison after five thousand or ten thousand years will come out for revenge, it is none of their business.

Ten thousand years from now, even their grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren's bones will have turned to ashes. Why do they still care about this?

"Quick, now, let the demon king in!"

Soon, another man dressed as a priest came over and gave an order. Then Duanmu Huai saw a tall barbarian warrior carrying a corpse coming over. Duanmu Huai couldn't see clearly from this direction, but he could see that the other party was wearing black armor, had black hair, and had a pair of demon horns on his head. Well, you said this was the demon king, and it did look like that.

"Bang!"

The demon king was thrown directly into the coffin, and the whole coffin was smashed.

"Be careful!"

At this time, the old wizard glared at the barbarian with dissatisfaction.

"The magic circle on this coffin is very delicate. If you break it a little, all your efforts will be wasted!"

"If you can break it, it means your magic is not very good, old man!"

The barbarian glared at the old magician and snorted. And an elf archer next to him waved his hand helplessly.

"It's already this time, you're still arguing! Hurry up and get it done, I always have a bad feeling in my heart..."

Hmm... Warrior, priest, barbarian, old wizard, archer, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a fixed five-person group in an adventure novel.

Duanmu Huai concentrated his mind and looked at the scene in front of him again. At this moment, everyone had stuffed the demon king into the coffin and stabbed the holy sword into his body. Then the old wizard, priest and archer raised their hands and began to chant spells, while the barbarian and warrior were responsible for guarding beside them. Soon, the magic circle began to emerge, huge energy vibrated in it, and the ice gradually began to condense. Soon, the ceremony reached the most critical moment.

However, at this moment, suddenly, something strange happened.

The warrior who was standing aside walked behind the barbarian at some point and pierced the barbarian's heart with a sword. The latter never thought that he would be betrayed by his companions at this time. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and said nothing. Then the warrior drew out his long sword and rushed directly towards the elf, and swung the dagger in his hand directly, piercing the elf's back.

"What are you doing?!!"

Seeing this scene, the priest and the mage were shocked, but it was too late. The warrior had already killed the priest with a sword, and then stabbed the old mage in the heart with another sword.

Because everyone's attention and all their strength were focused on sealing the demon king, they were completely unprepared for the warrior's sudden attack, so the warrior succeeded easily. After a moment, the four adventurers fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, and became corpses with eyes wide open.

The warrior walked to the coffin and reached out to grab the holy sword - well, at least it seems that he is quite accomplished in this area.

"I really didn't expect it, a wonderful betrayal."

At this moment, another strange man's voice sounded, and Duanmu Huai guessed without thinking that this should be the demon king.

"When the demon king was defeated and everything was about to return to peace, the hero killed his companions. So, what do you want to gain? A mortal?"

"A contract."

The soldier stared at the coffin coldly and said.

"A deal."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing the warrior's words, the Demon King burst into laughter.

"That's interesting. A deal. What kind of deal?"

"Give me your strength, I need your strength."

"You need my power?"

The Demon King's voice was full of questions.

"You defeated me and now you actually need my power?"

"You are no longer my enemy, Demon King."

The soldier's tone was colder than the cold wind in the ice and snow.

"Now, I have other enemies, enemies that can't be defeated just by swinging a blade."

"So, it's funny that you need my power."

The Demon King chuckled.

"So, what's your deal?"

"You give me your power, and I can give up sealing you, but you have to make a contract with me and you are not allowed to enter this world again for five hundred years!"

"This is simply not enough!"

The Demon King is obviously not a soft persimmon.

"This is not a fair deal!"

"It's not your turn now. It's me who controls the ceremony!"

The warrior suddenly raised his voice.

"If you don't want to, then you will be sealed for five thousand years! Make your own choice!"

"But this is not enough! In that case, I also have a proposal!"

"...What proposal?"

"I can agree to your request, but I also have my own request, which is that in five hundred years, your descendants will become my slaves and be driven by me from generation to generation! Forever! This is a contract!"

"……………………"

Upon hearing the Demon King's request, the warrior gritted his teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"make a deal!"

As he spoke, the warrior suddenly pulled out the sharp blade that penetrated the Demon King's body.

"very good!"

The next moment, the coffin suddenly opened, and then a human-shaped shadow flew out.

"When the contract is established, I will return to my plane immediately. Ah, by the way, in order to avoid accidents, I will leave part of my power here - after all, you are the heroes who defeated the Demon King, aren't you? Yes. Yes, I have taken away the souls of your companions. I think they will enjoy their life in hell."

"Go away, devil!"

"Hahahahaha, I'm looking forward to that moment five hundred years from now!"

After saying this, the black shadow suddenly flew into the sky and disappeared into the darkness, and the flames it left behind exploded, instantly devouring the four corpses, and then turned into a huge demon standing in front of the coffin. . At the same time, the warrior roared and suddenly raised his right hand. The next moment, endless ice broke out of the ground, completely sealing the huge demon and the coffin.

"………………"

Looking at the frozen demon and coffin in front of him, the warrior was silent for a moment, then he decisively turned around and disappeared into the blizzard.

"………………"

How can I put it, this plot is really unexpected.

Duanmuhuai opened his eyes silently and glanced at Aurelia with a complicated expression. The latter noticed his eyes and looked at Duanmuhuai doubtfully.

"What's the matter? Mr. Duanmu?"

"No, well, I'm very interested in the story of the hero of Ruminas Kingdom. Why don't you tell me about it?"

"The legend of the brave? Everyone knows this story. The original brave and his companions went to the far north and eliminated the demon king who tried to rule the world. In this great battle, the brave lost his Four companions, but finally succeeded in sealing the demon king. After returning, King Luminas married the princess to the brave man, and Luminas also became the most powerful person in the land under the glory of the brave man. One of the most powerful countries..."

As she spoke, Alleria reached out her hand and pressed the badge on her chest.

"I am a descendant of the brave clan, and I once swore to protect this country like my ancestors did!"

"Well, I think it's good that you're not like him..."

Faced with Alleria's answer, what else could Duanmuhuai say.

He felt that if he told Alleria about the history he saw from the coffin, the latter might come after him to fight for her life.

In fact, to be honest, Duanmu Huai can guess a little bit why the brave will rebel. The cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked. This is an eternal law. Once the devil dies, the brave will naturally be useless. For the ruler, the hero's high reputation among the people and his powerful force that can even destroy the devil are obviously a threat.

It's obvious that the hero himself knows this too.

He is not a demon king and cannot live for hundreds or thousands of years. Human beings will always weaken, grow old, and lose everything.

Maybe this brave man discovered this and finally made this decision.

As for that story - just kidding, he is the only survivor, so he can't make it up however he wants.

But if this happens... things will become more troublesome.
