Then, a woman in a noble black robe stopped at the door. Because of the light behind her, her face could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was that she had a shawl as thick as a dark cloud and a staff with incredible oppressive power. It seemed that all the magic between heaven and earth was submitting to her and cheering for staying by her side.
Although this woman did not reveal her identity, Du Yuqi already knew who she was! He took a deep breath and stood up and said:
"Meet Lord Held."
Yes, she is the second apostle, Held! The true controller of the Zero Organization, the strong man who created Misha, and even survived the last catastrophe!
There is no doubt that Du Yuqi played a huge role in the destruction of the Zero Organization, so he was quite nervous at this time, because Held was the first person to discover and use magic, the ancestor of all magic! It is impossible that she showed up this time to have a drink with him, and Du Yuqi was the weakest link in dealing with magic.
"You ruined my plan." Held said lightly. Her voice was a little low, but it had a peculiar charm.
Du Yuqi was about to speak when Held continued:
"But it doesn't matter. I have already collected all the data that should be collected, and all the experimental materials that should be obtained have been collected in this battle. Since Casillas has been successfully resurrected, it is only a matter of time for the other apostles to be resurrected. So, as long as you promise me one thing, your previous offense to me will be written off!"
Du Yuqi said:
"What's up."
Herd said:
"You should have sensed it by now. There is another person in this world who is born with the power of Kahn just like you! As your strength grows, you will be able to sense the other person's existence more and more frequently and more and more deeply! All I ask is that you kill him!"
Du Yuqi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the feeling of bursting out Kahn's power with all his strength before. He really felt that there was a bloodline resonating with him in the far distance! He was silent for a while and said:
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
Herd said:
"The power of the apostles in him and you has already reached a certain level. It can be said that you are very close to real apostles. There is a world law that apostles cannot kill each other, but his power and yours come from one body, so there is no such restriction."
Du Yuqi asked again:
"Why do you want me to kill him?"
Herd said:
"After you kill him, I can extract the power from his body and take it away to the Demon Realm to revive Kahn. Not only that, all our apostles will also leave Arad and go to the Demon Realm! By then, you will be the last apostle on the continent of Arad! As long as you can fully exert the power of Kahn in your body, with the assistance of Su, you can even build a great empire that can compete with Delos! You can even be called the emperor of the continent of Arad!"
Du Yuqi was shocked:
"Why do you want to leave Arad?"
Herd said:
"Although my experiment failed to rebuild the will of Terra this time, it did allow its world will to awaken for a short while. During the communication, I realized that if we want to rebuild the Terra of the past and the Demon World of today, we must return to the Demon World. The long distance between Arad Continent and the Demon World is the main reason for the failure."
Du Yuqi was silent for a while and said:
"Where are my companions? Are they safe?"
Herd said:
"To be precise, our current communication is at the consciousness level. My magic constructed all of this. Your body is still in the tavern drinking with them. No matter how long you have been in the consciousness space, it will only be a few seconds when you return to your body."
Du Yuqi fell into deep thought for a long, long time...
…
In the dilapidated little hotel,
Jet, who was happily chewing dried fruits, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, exhaling a breath of alcohol with relief.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Du Yuqi who seemed a little tired and was covering his face with his hands, and asked with some doubt:
"Is the boss sick? He looks very tired."
Evening Road:
"Ever since he saw Duize's sister's grave, he has been in a very low mood. He must be feeling sad, right?"
Jeter touched Du Yuqi with his shoulder with some concern:
"Boss, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Du Yuqi maintained his original posture like a stone statue. All of a sudden, the others became a little nervous and stood up.
But at this moment, Du Yuqi suddenly moved his hand away and returned to normal. He looked around in confusion and said:
"Huh? What's wrong? Oh, I'm just resting my mind. I'm fine."
Jet said with concern:
"Are you really okay? Did you fall asleep just now?"
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"It's really nothing. I just remembered some things and I feel a little sad."
Everyone thought that he was thinking about Duize's death and said a few words of comfort.
Du Yuqi stood up and walked to the window of the small hotel to look out. The view here was wide, and one could see large tracts of lush fields extending all the way to the horizon, full of vitality, and the clouds on the horizon had been dyed golden, the setting sun was like blood, and the scenery was magnificent.
"The last... apostle?"
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Du Yuqi murmured to himself and recited this sentence in a low voice.
