According to Heath's notes, the cage of the Kingdom of Stars will gradually trap the angels to death, but there is a "digestion" process in the process. The Starry Lord is like eating the angels into his stomach and cannot steal the authority of the Ruby Angel immediately.
As for why the other gods allowed Ruby Mountain to be blocked and watched the Lord of Stars capture angels, rather than saying that they 'didn't know' and 'couldn't interfere', Ash would rather believe that hunting angels was related to the common interests of the gods, and with everyone's tacit consent, the Lord of Stars made such smooth progress.
But when the angels rotted in the pot of the Kingdom of Stars, the contradictions between the gods immediately emerged - the meat is ready, why can't I be the one to eat it?
For the past few thousand years, we allowed you to create cages to imprison angels. Isn't it time you return the favor?
In the virtual world, besides human relationships, there is also fighting and killing!
In short, this is actually a classic plot of thugs robbing thugs.
So the gods secretly interfered in the Kingdom of Stars. They did not dare to destroy the mysterious chains and the concentric chains. After all, destroying these two chains would cause the angels to escape, so they left many "weapons" in the Kingdom of Stars.
The significance of these "weapons" is that they can become the magician's helper, allowing the magician to ignore the restrictions of the chains and hunt angels before the Star Lord.
Ash had previously thought that because the ultimate goal was to hunt angels, these "weapons" were called demons, forming a literary echo. If Ash was right, there were already many legendary magicians who had infiltrated the Star Kingdom, looking for traces of angels while seeking the help of demons.
What he didn't expect was that the devil was actually literal.
Looking at the horned blonde girl sitting on the ground, the cult leader touched his collar. The cool feeling from his fingertips made him clearly sense the power contained in it:
Domination!
Ash feels that 99% of his soul has been invaded by the devil, and one order from the devil can determine Ash's fate!
But precisely because of the almost complete soul connection, the demon also copied his magical power and magical spirit, and might even have shared his magical realm.
Just now, when Ash triggered the Sword Servant's phantom, the demon also triggered her Sword Servant's phantom, and they almost chopped off Vichy's dog head together, which means that the demon also replicated Ash's miracle!
However, the most powerful aspect of the demon is not that she can copy the combat power of the magician, but that she can break the restrictions of the chains - even in public, she can abuse the magic miracles at will without triggering the mysterious chains, which would cause the magic spirit and magic power to be locked and evaporated!
In the Kingdom of Stars, a sorcerer without demons is like a prisoner dancing in shackles, and a sorcerer with demons is like a jailer who can do whatever he wants!
Ash didn't even think about looking for the devil. Firstly, he didn't have any clues about the devil. Secondly, the devil was obviously a living person, and he still needed to pay attention to and win over the talent.
He doesn't have much experience getting along with normal people, so he doesn't dare to recruit anyone to join his gang.
Moreover, Heath didn't mention that if you want to use the power of the devil, you have to become the devil's servant. Although Ash didn't mind working, he had the dignity of a legendary magician, so he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
Wearing a collar is weird, it's not like I'm having sex.
And what if the devil is a bastard, then wouldn’t Ash be dreaming of the time before he traveled through time?
but……
"demon?"
Fili shook her head stupidly: "I'm not a demon, I'm Fili Lena, yes, I'm a student here."
"Felix, is that it?"
The sword color and magic power vibrated in the soul, and the scattered starlight gathered on Ash, like a gauze draped over him. He stood in front of Fili, like a bright star that fell into the world.
"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but you have been involved in a mysterious incident. You will face endless crises and battles. I am willing to be the sword and shield to protect you, but in return..."
The huge flaming halberd suddenly exploded and hit Ash from behind like a train!
Fili exclaimed: "Behind you——"
"...Can you be my demon?"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
In an instant, dozens of explosions were heard, and flames and sword lights roared violently in the classroom. Ash did not retreat a step and blocked Vichy's continuous attacks. He said coldly: "Why don't you run away?"
"Why should I run away?" Wei Xi smiled coldly, "Just because I offended a demon, I should retreat obediently and give you and the demon a chance to grow?"
"You should have read the Ghost Handbook, right?"
Ash's face darkened, he didn't want to fight to the death with Vichy right now.
It was obvious that Fili was not a veteran who had been through many battles, and it was impossible for her to participate in a battle of their level, so the battle dessert did not lean towards Ash at all.
Anyway, Vichy has already offended Fili to death. From now on, she will take the TV station and Fili to encircle Vichy and let this ghost prophet enjoy the taste of impotent rage before chopping off her head with one knife. This is the safe and satisfying strategy route.
But Vichy, a scum who had lived for a thousand years, did not panic because of the appearance of the devil. On the contrary, she was frighteningly rational - since she had offended him to death, she might as well cut the weeds and eradicate them!
She was originally the kind of devil who liked to kill geniuses. The Ghost Handbook recorded that she had assassinated hundreds of genius seeds who would become legends of the Holy Land in the future. Picking the most beautiful flowers in the garden in advance was almost her instinct, and even her preference!
"Fili," Ash said calmly during the fight, "Go outside and ask for help. Call for others to come and catch the arsonist!"
In a flash, Ash considered the current situation clearly - it was too much of a stretch for Fili to join the battle, a newborn demon, but it was no problem for her to run away and call for help. He only needed to drag Vichy until others came over, and without the demon, Vichy would naturally be locked up by the mysterious chain!
Ash shouted twice before Fili, who was sitting on the ground, finally reacted and quickly got up and ran out of the classroom. But when she ran to the stairwell, the wall behind her was suddenly pierced, and Ash, whose abdomen was burned, smashed a human-shaped hole in the wall with a snap. Fili felt that the scorching temperature was about to burn her neck!
clang!
At the critical moment, Ash used the Sanctuary to protect Fili, but the price was that the flesh on his arm melted like ice cream. He was of course using the sword to heal his injuries, but the pain of melting and regeneration made his voice intermittent.
"Don't be afraid, just keep going. I'm here to keep you safe."
"In fact, you might as well run away by yourself." Wei Xi grinned, "As long as you run away, I will definitely not chase you, and of course I won't kill her. After all, I am a soul demigod. There are many ways to solve small misunderstandings like "almost killing her" in the soul faction..."
Wow!
A blue phantom of the Sword Servant appeared on Ash's body. The Substitute Spirit seemed to know that its master was going to die, so it also fought hard! At the same time, a black phantom of the Sword Servant also appeared on Fili's body. The double phantom cut into Vichy's sanctuary, forcing the Ghost Prophet to retreat and defend!
Seeing this, Fili, who was running along the stairs in panic, suddenly stopped. Ash naturally noticed the cessation of footsteps immediately, and without turning back, he asked, "What happened?"
"I can actually help you fight, right?" Fili said with courage, "Before I call people back, you might be killed by her! If I help you, can you defeat her?"
"I really can't deny this possibility," Vichy said with a grin, "After all, you are a 'devil'. You possess the most powerful violence. If you know how to use your power, I can't beat you... two!"
She clenched her hands and grabbed two huge flaming halberds. At the same time, her whole body burst into flames, and the floor tiles and windows began to deform and melt under the high temperature.
In order to wield the double halberds, Weixi can no longer accurately control every bit of her strength... She is going to fight to the death!
What she said was just to seduce Fili to stay and wait for death. With Fili around, Ash had to protect the demon, which limited his space to hide.
But facing the completely crazy Vichy, Ash had no confidence that he could resist. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I don't know how you can help me, but I will buy you some time."
"If I lose, run as fast as you can and don't look back."
Ash stood at the stairs, drew three sword marks on the ground, and then three warm yellow barriers appeared in front of him.
Miracle: Triple Sword Barrier!
Wei Xi smiled and said, "Why would you go to such lengths for someone you don't even know?"
"Aren't you asking about peace or dignity?" Ash said, "It's okay if I can't catch or see it, but dignity... must be visible and tangible!"
Suddenly, it was as if fireworks were blooming in the complex building. The flames were burning at an extreme level, and the air was compressed to the limit and exploded, like a meteorite falling to the earth!
boom!
The triple sword barrier shattered at the touch, and Ash swung his two swords to block Vichy's flaming halberd, but the hot wind continued to invade the sanctuary, igniting his skin and tearing his flesh!
But the stairwell guarded by Ash was safe and sound. Fili looked at the figure blocking the way ahead, forced herself to calm down, and racked her brains to think about the problem she could solve.
What is a demon? What is the power of a demon? How can I help him? We are strangers. He could have abandoned me and left me alone from the beginning... but he fought against that monster for me... I can't, I can't watch him die...
It was like that time when I watched my mother die.
Fili almost bit her lips until they bled, but she felt nothing. She was not a devil at all. She was just a lamb who knew nothing!
Suddenly, she noticed the chains on her handcuffs. Without any time to think, she grabbed the chains and pulled hard.
Ash, who was confronting Vichy head-on, suddenly felt his neck being pulled, revealing a gap in his tight defense. Vichy would naturally not miss this opportunity, and the flaming halberd smashed into the sanctuary, and the blazing hot wind was about to blow Ash's body apart -
Boom!
The sudden gust of wind blew Vichy away. She turned three times in the air and landed steadily, staring at the stairwell filled with black fog with a serious expression.
The black fog soon dissipated, leaving Fili standing there with a dazed look on her face, and Ash was nowhere to be seen.
Wei Xi was startled, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that he had such a trump card to escape. He didn't even notice the spatial ripples... How did he escape? But it doesn't matter."
She looked at Fili, and a sweet and lovely smile gradually appeared on her face: "So, do you want peace or dignity?"
However, Fili just stared at Vichy's back stupidly. Vichy frowned slightly. She didn't feel anything, so she wouldn't be fooled by such a trick...
Snap!
Vichy dodged it narrowly. She wiped the blood off her neck and her expression suddenly became serious - she had just encountered an unpredictable attack!
What happened? She had clearly opened her sanctuary, but it didn't respond?
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The sharp sword light in the air made Vichy dodge in a panic. She simply summoned out the flaming halberd and swung it around, but she didn't hit anything.
She thought about it, and spent some time concentrating on shrinking the sanctuary until it was completely pressed against her skin, leaving almost no space for air to flow in. Then she raised the flaming halberd and smashed it at Fili!
Under the arrogant skin of Vichy, she is cautious and decisive. Although she wants to use this demon for her own benefit, in order to save her life, she would rather kill the demon to get rid of the current weird situation!
At this moment, Vichy's Holy Domain finally felt the fierce attack coming from behind, and her spine was even cut a little. She could only heal herself while turning around in the air and fighting back frantically!
boom!
As the flames and sword lights bloomed, she saw a familiar face——
It's Ash!
Ash, who should have run away and disappeared, suddenly appeared behind her at this moment, and the light of his two swords fell on her sanctuary like a storm!
In a flash, the battle-hardened Vichy understood the truth behind the strange situation: "How can you be perfectly invisible? Are you hiding in another dimension? Or maybe..."
"It's not invisibility." Since he was discovered, Ash had no interest in hiding it anymore, and his figure disappeared into thin air. "It's the viewer."
