When Ash came to his senses, he still thought he had returned to Jia Shi in the Kingdom of Stars.
But when he saw the empty city center, the deserted capital, and the huge bright rainbow light column in the distance, he knew that he had been teleported to another scene by the Holy Grail.
The source angel's chain of tricks is really one after another... Ash looked at the Holy Grail in his hand, and he loosened his hand, and the Holy Grail automatically rotated around him. Then he pulled up the mask to cover his face and headed towards the rainbow light column in the city center.
He could have kept his identity secret before, but now he has the Lost Holy Grail, which means he has drunk the Lost Nectar. His situation is not even worth describing as a crime. If the gods had the chance, they would definitely capture him, squeeze him dry, and find ways to turn him back into the Lost Nectar.
If he were seen by other demons, they would definitely realize that Ash is inside the Kingdom of Stars. After all, only demons can condense the Pale Holy Grail. Therefore, even if Ash is not a demon, he must have a wild demon hidden behind him.
Therefore, Ash was very glad that he took the Holy Grail in time, otherwise if Fili teleported in, she would definitely show off with the tarnished Holy Grail without covering it. Even if she could return to the stars safely later, Ash would have to lock her up in a small dark room in the basement to prevent her from being captured by the devil.
But why did the Source Angel teleport me here?
Ash didn't think that this scene would cause him direct harm. Countless evidence showed that the Source Angels could not directly harm the participants. At most, they could only mix the magicians together and lure them into killing each other.
In other words, the Source Angel teleported me here because he believed that there was an enemy here who could cause me fatal harm.
Or maybe I could become a killer that poses a deadly threat to other targets.
Ash walked to a crossroads, and looking to the right, he saw a girl with pink and purple hair walking out of the cake workshop. She was wearing a coat and a short skirt, with black knee-high socks stretching her thighs. She was holding a brown paper bag in her hand, and was taking out a puff pastry from it and eating it.
If it weren't for the fading Holy Grail circling around her, she would have looked like a high school student going home from school to buy bread.
"Other than her pink-purple hair color, Otochi looks a lot like a grown-up Liz."
Ash's mind raced, and he raised his hand to greet her: "Yinzhi!"
"Um?"
Yin Zhi, with his mouth full of pastry, looked over and tilted his head: "Do we know each other? Wait, you have the Lost Holy Grail, are you a demon I don't know? But even if you are the demon of Senluo or Fanxing, there is no reason for you to be a man, and it is even more impossible for you to know me...ah, I know, you are the common lover that Harvey and Igula often mention!"
"Haha, this joke is very funny." Ash walked over quietly: "Well said, don't say it next time."
"Hey, aren't you guys that kind of relationship?" Yin Zhi blinked, "But you made a liar and selfish fraudster become considerate of others, and made a necromancer who longed for death rekindle his will to live. I thought your feelings had gone beyond friendship and reached the level of distorting human nature."
"What you said only proves that I, who am honest and kind, have accidentally become their idol, shining like a father to their sons." Ash said, "Were you also teleported in by the Holy Grail?"
"Yeah, I was planning to condense the second Holy Grail later, but the Source Angel refused to give me this opportunity. It clearly let me eat an extra portion. Did it want to be fair and distribute its inheritance to as many people as possible?" Yin Zhi complained and continued to eat the puff pastry bun: "But it's not bad to meet the companions that Igula and Harvey mentioned here. Can you take off your mask? They and I are friends. There's no need for you to hide your face from me, right?"
"They mentioned you, too. I'm curious about you, too." Ash lied, "I never take off my mask. Just treat it as my real body."
"Okay." Yin Zhi nodded, and suddenly took a step back: "If you come any closer, I'm going to run away."
At this time, Ash was about 30 steps away from Yin Zhi, which was exactly Ash's maximum attack distance. There was a delay in the activation of the mysterious chain. If Ash rushed within 30 steps, his heart sword could kill Yin Zhi first before the mysterious chain strangled him, but at 30 steps away, the heart sword would be evaporated by the mysterious chain before it touched Yin Zhi.
Ash immediately stopped and realized that Igula's evaluation of her was not exaggerated at all, and even underestimated her. Just based on Ash's initiative to greet him, he quickly guessed Ash's identity, so he was not surprised that his malicious intentions were seen by Yinzhi.
"You're not the defensive type, are you?"
Yin Zhi licked the pastry on his fingers calmly and said, "But you haven't killed many people, right? Your killing intent is too obvious. I can even tell at a glance that you are about to attack if you get one step closer. The most critical preparation for assassination is not the weapon or the location, but not treating people as human beings."
"You are not a demon, you are a magician, and a magician infected with the secret poison of hell, so you want to sacrifice the virtual wings to assassinate me. This is a net profit for you. And it's not just me. You plan to kill all the demons in this scene to ensure that your side can inherit the legacy of the source angel."
Ash was still able to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"Just like I know who you are, your thoughts are too easy to guess." Yin Zhi smiled and said, "Now that I have appeared, other demons will definitely be able to condense the Lost Holy Grail and be transported here. In other words, by then, almost all demons will appear in this scene, but there will be no magicians around them."
"And you happen to be a magician. As long as you are willing to break your virtual wings, you can easily slaughter us. Coincidentally, you have four virtual wings, and we are also four demons."
"There is no better opportunity than this. As long as you kill us all, you who possess the demon will become the final winner..."
“…?”
Yinzhi threw the garbage on the ground, walked to the vending machine next to her, kicked it hard, and a bottle of drink fell out of it. She took it out and gulped it down. The whole process seemed defenseless. If Yaxiu took the opportunity to run over, she would definitely not have time to escape, but Yinzhi's stability and calm analysis made Yaxiu want to hear more from her.
"In fact, I have been keeping an eye on you. If you dare to move, I will run away." Yin Zhi laughed and said, "As compensation for letting me go, I will remind you that our biggest enemy is not each other, but the Star Master."
"The more we gather together, the higher the risk to the Star Lord. So if we kill each other, the Star Lord will definitely be the happiest." She shrugged: "But even so, the chance that we can snatch the Source Angel is not zero. When the Source Angel fights against the Star Lord, there will inevitably be opportunities that the demons can take advantage of."
"So your idea is also my idea. I would rather face the Star Lord alone than kill all the other demons. After all, the more competitors there are, the fewer chances I have."
Yaxiu was confused by what he heard, he thought Yinzhi advised him not to do it.
"But unlike a weak pretty girl like me, Le Huai, Ye Jian, and Long Yuan are very strong. You may not be able to kill them even if you have four chances to attack." Yin Zhi finally showed his fangs: "So do you want to cooperate with me and kill them all? When there are only two of us left, we can rely on our own abilities, how about that?"
"By the way, I just met Igula and Harvey. You know I'm a demon, so let's help each other." She blinked her eyes and said pitifully, "If you fight with me, they will be sad."
Ash was skeptical: "You met both of them here?"
"Yeah, first I met Harvey, collected all the pieces of the Holy Grail, and then summoned Igula." Yin Zhi put his hands on his hips: "Holding her left and right, aren't you envious!"
Ash's expression changed drastically: "You summoned Igula? Why not Amilo?"
"Igula looks good!"
"Then..." Ash said anxiously: "After you condensed the Lost Holy Grail, did Igula touch you?"
When others touch the Faded Holy Grail, the Faded Wine will spill out and cause fading. If you don't drink the Faded Wine, you can't prevent fading and death!
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then Igura...is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay." Yin Zhi blinked, looking confused: "What are you talking about?"
She succeeded in making Ash doubt himself - wouldn't the nectar spill out if someone else touched the Discolored Holy Grail? Was it an exclusive gift package for the Four Pillars' sense of touch?
Because Ash was used to being targeted by the Source Angel, he couldn't judge for a moment. No way, Source Angel, if the Four Pillars are provoking you, then you can kill the Four Pillars, why are you messing with me?
At this time, Yin Zhi asked calmly: "How is it? Do you want to cooperate with me?"
To be honest, Ash was quite tempted by Yin Zhi's proposal. After all, he only had three virtual wings left, and he was not sure he could kill four demons. If he could cooperate with Yin Zhi to kill the other demons, and then kill Yin Zhi with a miracle, it would be more feasible than fighting alone.
Moreover, Yinzhi seemed to be familiar with Igula and Harvey, which made Ash hesitate. He even thought that it would be good to keep Yinzhi. When they couldn't solve the secret poison of hell, they would all go to Yinzhi's side. After all, they were all dogs, so it wouldn't be bad to be dogs for the all-knowing weaver...
wrong!
Yaxiu was shocked, thinking that he had originally planned to kill Yinzhi, but how come he ended up cooperating with Yinzhi and even joining Yinzhi's side?
Is this the woman that even Igula has to be her slave?!
Ash: "So, when there are only two of us left, you have the confidence to deal with me?"
"How could that be?"
Yin Zhi shook his head: "I just don't think we can deal with other demons. They are different from me. They are very strong! If there are really only two of us left, can you accept my surrender for the sake of Igula and Harvey?"
Ash took a step back and shook his head slowly.
He would rather hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity than team up with Yinzhi. Yinzhi looked like prey, but gave him a sense of danger as a hunter.
Seeing Ash's refusal, Yinzhi sighed regretfully, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard nearby.
The two were startled to see a black-haired girl running out from the middle street.
She was dressed in black and white, with rainbow holy grails surrounding her. When she saw Yin Zhi, confusion appeared in her eyes, but when she saw Ash, her eyes instantly lit up and her hair became colorful!
"Witch!?" Ya Xiu was startled.
"A... Viewer!" Diya saw that Ash was wearing a mask and immediately reacted by calling out his code name. She suppressed her excitement, walked briskly to Ash's side, took his arm, and whispered, "Who is she?"
Yinzhi waved politely to Diya: "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Yinzhi."
Then she waved again: "Hello."
Although Diya thought it was strange that Yinzhi greeted her twice in a row, she still nodded in return.
At the same time, in Diya's soul, the gospel spirit living inside the fairy tale spirit suddenly raised his hand and waved, with a smile on his face.
…
…
"That's not right. Only you can drink from the Holy Grail, and he needs the Holy Grail to save his life. Isn't this a dead end?"
In the vault, after listening to Fili's explanation, Freya asked in confusion.
Fili looked at Jian Ji carefully. The latter's face was calm, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy, angry, sad, or happy. She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and touched her lips with her finger, and said shyly, "Actually, there is still a way."
The two of them suddenly realized. Tamashi's expression was calm, and she obviously thought that this kind of life-threatening workaround was not worth mentioning; Freya nodded in understanding at first, but after a pause, she suddenly turned her head to look at the Sword Princess.
"That's not right!" Veela said angrily, "That means just now, Sonia, your dog man was kissing another woman inside the door! This is too much, how could he do this!"
“Stop, Freya,” Tamasi said. “But if you do this he will die.”
Fili nodded repeatedly.
The Veela had a flash of inspiration: "But we can let Sonia in, let Fili pass the nectar to Sonia first, and then let Sonia pass it to her lover! There is obviously a better way, he must be doing it on purpose!"
Is this really a better approach? Isn't this just adding a middleman to make a profit?
Fili was also shocked by the Veela's train of thought, but the blonde girl quickly gathered her thoughts and said carefully, "Sister Sonia, the gentleman was ready to confess and apologize to you before he disappeared. He had no intention of hiding or lying..."
Because there were two outsiders present, Fili did not reveal Ash's name, let alone Sword Princess, and only used the name between them. However, she obviously did not want to use the appropriate name of dog man, so she used the general name of Mr.
"Why should he apologize to me?" Sonia's reaction was beyond Fili's expectations: "He should apologize to you."
"No, I don't blame him." Fili said quickly: "Then do you forgive him?"
"Let's talk about it after we find him. Now we have to ensure everyone's safety." Sonia smiled and said, "Come with us. You have helped him so much. I have an obligation to protect your safety."
Sonia's reaction was even better than Fili had imagined. She didn't get angry, didn't target anyone, and didn't insult Ash. It was just like a spring breeze, making people wonder if Ash had saved the world several times to have such a lover. But for some reason, Fili felt very uncomfortable. Sonia's impeccable demeanor and her love for Fili, who was treated as an outsider, made this little lamb want to bite her.
She tried to pretend nothing had happened and asked, "By the way, I just noticed that the gentleman stretched his hand out of the door. Was he holding Sister Sonia's hand?"
Seeing that Sword Princess' body was about to go out, Fili immediately felt regretful, wondering how she could actively hurt others like this. But besides feeling ashamed, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
At this time, Freya said happily: "Oh, is that so? Then Sonia, your lover has not changed his heart. At least when he kisses others, he is still thinking of you."
Sonia, who was almost unable to suppress her rage, was instantly impressed by the Veela's train of thought. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and signaled everyone to leave quickly.
Before she had taken a few steps, Sonia realized that Fili had not caught up with her. She turned around and saw the blonde girl squatting there with her knees hugged in a depressed mood, looking like she was about to fade.
