Slay the Dragon (3)

"Well, I'm going to give you a big gift, please accept it well."

The words Fei Leng said a few days ago emerged clearly in my mind.

Coming towards him, Bixi, with her hair casually tied up, walked slowly. She was no longer wearing the gorgeous divine attire, but simple and easy-to-wear clothes. Her top and trousers had been washed countless times and were beginning to fade. However, such simple attire could not conceal her graceful demeanor, just like when he first met her.

"Teacher, long time no see, you look good."

Inger still called her teacher.

It was she who led him into magic.

"I eat well, sleep well, and don't have to work. I've been resting for so long that I'm almost like a pet pig. How can I not be good?" Bixi's eyebrows curved, eyes bright, "Yes, this is the first time we fight on the same side. As your magic enlightenment teacher, I feel very accomplished."

Inger couldn't help but curl his lips.

But his smile froze slightly at that moment.

When he met the goddess before, he was too devastated to learn the truth about the Phoenix, so he didn't focus on anything. But that doesn't mean he doesn't remember what the goddess said.

He kept every word they said in his heart.

Finally, they said to him, "There is one more thing. The bishop who is good at healing magic has another person living in her body. I think she used the incarnation spell we used. The incarnation has an absolutely independent personality, and even we cannot change it. We usually don't control the clones, we only collect memories, and we won't give her our memories. Moreover, we have never had the original body die. She now has the memories of both people in this body, so it is hard for us to say which person she is now. I'll leave it to you to judge, okay?"

There was no way the goddess could lie to them.

What she meant was that the original body died, and the clone took over all of the original body's memories, and now this body contains all the memories of both people.

So is this person in front of me Lucia or Bixi?

Or is it a bit like having a dual personality?

I have to say that Alex and Ola's intuition was accurate.

However, Inger looked at Bisi, her every move, especially what she had done on the battlefield during this period, and he absolutely could not connect this person with the queen who was madly thirsting for destruction.

Just like in her previous life, she was doing her best to save people.

Bishop Bishop spent his whole life saving people.

"Is it combat magic this time? I haven't tried it before, I hope it will be successful." Bixi said this without any nervousness in her eyes.

Inger smiled and said, "The teacher is a genius, he will definitely succeed."

Bixi: "In front of you? I dare not call myself a genius."

I guess she was afraid that he would grow too fast at that time, so she tried not to tell him much, but he eventually found out his true level.

Inger: “You definitely did it on purpose.”

Bixi: "I finally got such a good seedling. Of course I have to study it myself first. Besides, it's not a good thing to be famous too early. I see you don't want that at all, do you?"

Inger nodded at her smiling gaze.

Alex came up from behind him: "Are you all ready?"

The two looked at him and said in unison: "There is nothing to prepare."

Then they smiled at each other.

Alex also laughed: "Then I'll leave it to the two great wizards."

At this moment, the three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked down at the valley from the cliff where they were standing.

The place was densely packed with demons.

Just as Fei Leng told him, he led a large group of demons here.

Alex: "Yes, it's just as you said, but I'm curious, how did you know they would gather here?"

Inger smiled.

Fei Leng's words are still ringing in my ears.

"I found that Hawley had been looking for you like crazy. I thought he must be very interested in your intelligence, so I gave him some information about where you would go and asked him to take as many troops as possible with him."

Inger said, "I saw it when Finne went out hunting. He took me to fly nearby, and I saw that these demons were moving in a group in a certain direction. They were moving low through a tall forest and river valley caves. There were mountains on both sides, so it was difficult to be discovered. Judging from their direction, they should be heading towards the granary in the north."

Grain storage areas are often also refugee bases for civilians.

"Such a large-scale gathering, and maintaining a certain team formation, must be led by a demon king." Alex pondered, "See if he is alone. Try to get rid of this demon king, or at least force him to retreat. For the time being, we must not let the demon mother tree discover the Purifier."

So far, they have not purified the vines that extend from the Demon Mother Tree's clone. Whenever they come across them, they cut them down and seal them in barrels with chemicals.

Their original strategy was to kill some of the demons and purify some of the land.

But after Inger shared his concerns, they changed course slightly.

First kill the demon army, then capture the demon king, and finally purify the land.

In fact, if they want to go to the East Continent, they must solve the problem of purification. At that time, it doesn't matter even if the existence of the Purifier is exposed to the Demon Mother Tree, because its body has already taken root firmly in the East Continent. The entire East Continent is almost itself. The continent is surrounded by the sea, and she has nowhere to escape.

They saw the demons below moving towards their target location.

Alex looked behind him, where were knights and soldiers ready for battle.

They all had resolute faces and were not afraid of sacrifice.

They have killed countless demons, and will continue to do so, but this time, they are hunters. No matter how many there are, they will hunt them all down until not a single one is left.

Alex didn't say much, just smiled slightly, drew his sword, raised it high, turned around, and jumped off the cliff.

Compared to the steep cliff, his figure was insignificant, however, the moment he jumped down.

A brilliant light burst out from him.

In an instant, the clear sky dimmed.

Like a powerful bolt of lightning, it smashed heavily into the dark pool of enemies!

“Kill!!!!!!!!”

People appeared on the peaks on both sides. The noise of tens of thousands of knights and soldiers was deafening. They rushed down the mountain path like a torrent and surrounded the demons from front and back in a few blinks of an eye.

Inger and Bixie raised their wands.

* “Some people say that the world will eventually be destroyed by fire…”

Bixi chanted the spell in sync with Inger's slowed-down speech.

Two small fireballs condensed in front of the two wands, like a pair of twins.

Inger looked at her and smiled.

He knew she would succeed.

Because it was Bixi who first taught him offensive nature magic.

Under the magic system prescribed by the goddess, she could still explore some possibilities. She was never a person who followed the rules when it came to magic. In this respect, she was similar to Lucia.

Inger put the strange thoughts in his mind aside.

The two of them signaled with their eyes and gently sent out the fireball.

The flames of destruction exploded among the demons, but they controlled the range so as not to affect the human knights.

Inger closed his mouth, looked at the scene below, and chanted the spell again.

He has to do what he has to do.

He had massacred enemy troops more than once.

But every time I see a war scene that is like a meat grinder, with fresh food going in and red and white minced meat flying out.

Especially as wizards, they will be looking at everything from a high place, and the overall picture will appear clearer.

The blood of the demons has more than one color: red, blue, green, black... This valley is like a palette.

The more lives that die.

The colors on the palette tend to be increasingly dirty and chaotic.

The colors mixed and blended together to form a disgusting hue.

No matter how many times I watch it, I never get tired of it.

Inger frowned and threw out magic power again.

This time, humans have overwhelmed the new power and slaughtered the demons until there is not a single one left.

Corpses filled the valley, and poisonous blood turned the stream black.

Alex had already ordered people to build a dam downstream to block the flow of the stream.

After dealing with the escaped fish, the soldiers quickly retreated.

Inger, Bixi and others landed at the bottom of the valley.

He opened the protective barrier and the detection barrier at the same time.

But they didn't go far before they ran into Alex.

Alex had been killing people since the war began, but they never worried that their magic would hurt him.

Alex came over carrying a tied-up demon.

The moment he saw them, Inger's pupils dilated.

Inger could recognize it at a glance by the double pupils emitting fluorescent light.

Transform the Demon King.

Holly's limbs and neck were twisted into a knot and he couldn't move, but he could still breathe and stare at him with a smile, which looked very weird and terrifying.

Inger's scalp tingled and he put his clenched fists behind his back.

He did not forget what kind of torture he would have suffered at the hands of this man if it had not been for Fei Leng's help.

Alex said to Inger, "I'm looking for this guy's heart. He seems to think we don't know his weakness, so he acts like this. Ignore him."

Sure enough, when Hao Li, who had been smiling creepily just now, heard the words, his smile froze on his face instantly.

Inger found it hard to believe this fact for a moment: "………How did you catch…his…"

Alex raised the thing in his hand nonchalantly: "Him? It's easy. His fighting ability is not as good as Pride and Berserker."

The Lord of Pride Dagon and the Lord of War Siska are both with Levi.

Alex did not look good as he said this so easily. He had wounds of all sizes all over his body, and some were even starting to rot, but he looked like he didn't care.

The two of them must have had a fierce battle.

But it can also be seen that his strength has been greatly improved compared to before the war.

Inger reached out and hammered him on the shoulder.

Alex was caught off guard and cried out in pain: "Ouch!"

Bixi chuckled: "Still trying to be brave. Go back and 'clean' first, then treat the wound."

Inger silently removed the poison from him, then looked at Holly calmly.

He asked Alex, "Where is his heart?"

Alex: "I have a rough idea." He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put it on Inger's shoulder, pointed in a direction and told him to go there and take a look.

Inger looked at him suspiciously, but still activated the teleportation array.

What Alex meant by "knowing what was going on" was that they had basically walked around the area.

They finally found several suspicious farm houses.

"I really know it, I just need to find the specific location!"

Alex is still making excuses.

But as soon as he opened the door of the house, his face turned completely dark.

His tense cheeks and the bulging veins on his fists showed his uncontrollable anger.

Inger had a poor appetite in the morning and didn't eat much, so he couldn't vomit. But his empty stomach was still churning.

He closed his eyes immediately, but the image was still firmly imprinted on his eyelids, lingering.

The calmest among the three was Bixi.

She took in every detail of the scene in the house.

The house was filled with corpses of various creatures, the most numerous of which were humans.

Just like in a slaughterhouse, various organs were scattered on the chopping board and hung on the wall.

Or put together with different parts of other organisms.

Some people, or rather, the experimental subjects who could not be called humans, had some organs still moving slightly, looking half-dead.

The reason why Hao Li is called the Demon King of Transformation.

It's because of his hobby.

He likes to modify organisms and assemble chimeras.

This is one of his laboratories.

He cannot perfectly integrate the genes of various organisms like his "mother", so he can only imitate and roughly splice together different organs. The result is predictable.

He likes to use humans because humans are much more sensitive than other creatures, and they have sensitive reactions, making them more suitable for experiments.

Bixi looked around and confirmed that there were no living creatures. Then he said calmly, "Go out."

Alex hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and walked in.

He suppressed his disgust and searched everywhere, and finally found the heart that was still beating alive even though it was far away from its owner's body, in the chest of an experimental base.

Holly's tongue was chained and he couldn't speak. He stared at Alex with eyes like pure poison.

Alex removed two more hearts from a bear's leg and a deer's belly.

Hao Li is used to carrying the Heart with him, usually storing it in the laboratory closest to him, inside something that seems the most dangerous but is actually the safest.

To be honest, he probably never thought that he would be captured.

This was also what Alex discovered in his previous life after going through many twists and turns in order to kill him.

Alex was about to crush the three hearts when Inger stopped him.

Both Bixi and Alex looked at him.

Inger smiled a pale smile. "It's so rare to capture a demon king alive, but just letting him die like this, don't you think it's too easy?"

Alex was stunned. He had never heard Inger say such cruel words before.

There was a secret and strange light flashing in Bixi's eyes.

Inger bent down, reached out and lifted Holly's chin, and said in Eastern Continental language: "Do you remember the bet I made with you?"

Holly stared slightly.

* "If I run away, no matter where you are, I will make you want to die but cannot. Believe me, you will like it. My method is much better than yours."

He made him review their bet.

Of course he still remembered the captives who watched him being tortured and shed tears for him.

Those human warriors he hadn't had time to save, and many more whose faces he didn't know.

They didn't deserve to die that way, they didn't deserve to suffer that way.

Even for the sake of the humans who were being used as experiments and tortured to a state worse than death, Inger was not going to let this thing die easily.

It is unwise to punish the demons physically, as their bodies have become so mutated that they don't care about pain.

However, the high-level demons and demon kings are intelligent creatures. Their wisdom represents their spiritual world, so there will definitely be opportunities to take advantage of them.

He didn't need to treat him with the same kindness he gave to soldiers who had made mistakes.

Inger said to Alex, "Leave him to me."

Alex felt like he seemed to have seen a different side of this man today. The process of getting along with him was a bit like peeling an onion. After peeling off one layer, there is another layer inside, and the closer to the inside, the stronger the stimulation.

Alex was angry himself, so he could feel that even though Inger was smiling, he was just as angry as he was.

He didn't like Inger like this, so he gave Inger the right to dispose of the thing.

In addition, he had another question, so he asked, "When did you learn the demon language? What did you say to him?"

Inger: "There is a bet between us. I want to fulfill this bet... As for the language, I can translate the spells. I learned it over a long period of time. I was very good at it before. Do you want to learn it? I will teach you?"

Alex smiled and said, "Okay."

Bixi looked back and forth at the two of them, a faint smile with ambiguous meaning curled up at the corners of her eyes and mouth.
