Linda walked along the main city gate and entered the palace.
The interior was paved with dark blue floor tiles, and blue candles were lit on the walls, creating a dim light.
The vast palace was completely empty.
Footsteps echoed through the palace, cold and eerie.
Linda grips the sword of the warrior, proceeding cautiously.
At the far end of the palace stood a black throne.
A scarlet carpet stretched straight from the front door to the other side.
Linda stopped ten meters away and shouted, "Demon King, come out and face your death!"
Come out and face your death.
Die
die.
The sounds were layered upon each other, like birds trapped in a maze, unable to escape.
Squeak~
What the hell is that noise?
Linda turned around.
The palace's black doors closed silently, and magical runes leaped out from them.
It was clearly some kind of barrier.
"Super Demon Heart Slash!"
A flash of sword light appeared.
Boom!
All talk and no action.
The palace gates remained completely still.
Linda frowned.
With the blessing of the Law of Destruction, the Super Demon Heart Slash deals 99% true damage. How could it possibly fail to break through this barrier?
Even if the Demon King is level 99, he still has to open a gap in this barrier himself.
The image of Tina's dying eyes flashed through my mind.
Like a wife seeing her husband off to the battlefield, knowing he's likely to die. Even though Linda killed her, there was no hatred on her face, only a lament for her fate.
If Tina were a witch, Linda might consider giving her a chance to atone, since witches' minds are controlled by the Demon King. But Tina is different from Baimian, Linxi, and the Crescent Knight; she acts entirely on her own will.
Linda's eyelids twitched. She had seen the Sword of the Warrior and the laws from the Dragon of Time. Tina, who had been defeated by him, seemed to still not believe that he could defeat the Demon King with the expression on her face when she died.
This perception of the Demon King's power comes entirely from Tina herself, rather than from the witch's unusual reverence for him.
I'm already this strong.
Tina still believes that she is no match for the Demon King.
A faint unease arose in my heart.
Linda gritted her teeth and focused all her attention.
He surveyed the Demon King's Palace, extending his magical power to sense its surroundings.
Where exactly is the enemy?
After searching around, I found nothing.
The unease in my heart gradually intensified.
It was as if a cold, large hand was slowly tightening its grip on his heart.
The air in the Demon King's Palace has changed.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the magical elements were boiling violently, like a volcano about to erupt.
A bead of cold sweat seeped from Linda's forehead.
Snap, snap.
suddenly.
A crisp clapping sound rang out.
In the empty Demon King's Palace, the voice sounded abrupt and jarring.
Linda's scalp tingled.
His magic still couldn't detect the enemy's location!
The space ahead began to fluctuate.
It was as if raindrops fell into the lake, creating ripples.
The ripples expanded, opening up a spatial passage.
A large woman, dressed in a bright green dress, walked out with a smile.
Linda's mind was in complete turmoil.
He looked up at the woman with stunningly beautiful features and long, emerald-green hair that reached the ground.
"Goddess?"
The person standing in front of Linda was none other than Tricia, the World Tree Goddess!
What's going on?
Tricia is not supposed to interfere in the struggle between adventurers and demons, is she?
The Demon King's Palace was completely empty.
Where did the Demon King go?
Could it be that Tricia eliminated them beforehand?
Linda was completely puzzled.
Tricia looked at him with a smile, her gentle smile just like when they first met.
"Hero, you have done a wonderful job. Because of you, the world has been saved."
Tricia's voice is like a gentle breeze.
"But I haven't defeated the Demon King yet."
Linda said in a deep voice, "Goddess, what exactly is going on? Where is the Demon King? Why did you descend here? How many things have you been hiding from me?"
"Hero, I did not deceive you."
Tricia: "Let me show you the truth about the 'Demon King'."
She stretched out her left hand, opened her palm, and a fresh World Tree leaf appeared inside.
With a gentle gust of wind, the leaves flew towards Linda.
In mid-air, the leaves transformed into a soft green light, entering Linda's eyes.
A cool and refreshing sensation flowed into my body.
Linda's field of vision changed.
He saw various magical elements flowing in the space.
The golden specks represent the element of light, the brown represents the element of earth, and the black represents the element of darkness. Multicolored energy fills the space.
Although one can perceive things through one's own efforts, it is an abstract representation, like the blind men and the elephant.
The world of magical elements in Linda's eyes has never been as clear as it is now.
But that's not what Tricia wanted him to see.
Soon, Linda noticed it.
Black cracks were everywhere in the space!
What is this?
He was secretly alarmed.
The world I live in is like a huge transparent mirror, and on this mirror are many dense black cracks.
The emerald green magic continuously repaired the cracks, much like the "centipede marks" after a wound has healed.
Such cracks are everywhere, and 90% of them are repaired by emerald green magic.
The remaining ten percent expands outwards at a slow pace.
Linda's expression changed drastically. "This is... a spatial rift?"
"right."
Tricia looked sad and said, "They have existed for tens of thousands of years. Since you have been to the Sanctuary and seen the Time Dragon, you should understand what I mean."
