The crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out especially clearly in the darkness.
Ning Feng tilted his head back and swallowed the wine that he should have drunk long ago.
Then, he turned around and slowly walked in the opposite direction from Tataka.
As night fell, Ning Feng's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
In the darkness where no one knew, his scarlet eyes were the only light shining through.
Step by step...
Behind him were tens of thousands of lamps lit up as a vigil, and he walked into the deeper darkness.
In the darkness and cold wind, he walked alone.
"Who is running through the darkness and wind at this moment?"
He hummed softly the poem that made him feel somewhat sad.
Ning Feng, in his own way, is silently sending messages to those departed souls.
After finally reciting all the poems, Ning Feng paused for a moment before speaking again:
"So, in the story... I was actually the Demon King."
Yes.
"I am the Demon King."
This has already been decided.
puff.
Hahahaha!
Looking up at the starry sky, Ning Feng burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
"Hahaha, what a cringeworthy line!"
Shaking his head, Ning Feng muttered self-criticisms under his breath.
At this age, still saying such things makes one sound like an unrealistic daydreamer.
But after Ning Feng said those words, he truly felt a sense of relief.
It was an unusual sense of ease.
It's as if these words have been bottled up in my heart for a very long time, and now they've finally been spoken.
It was as if he had finally accepted himself, or as if he had finally admitted to that matter.
Even though Ning Feng still doesn't understand what that matter really means.
Moreover, something else happened inside his body.
At the moment he recognized the beliefs in his heart, there was also a sound of shattering within his soul.
Kaka...
That was not caused by a trauma to the soul, but by a transformation!
Ning Feng is undergoing a transformation.
Once Ning Feng understood what he truly desired, he realized what he was lacking.
Cecilia once said that as long as Ning Feng knew what he wanted, he could advance directly to the next level.
Extreme idealistic spiritual lineages need this kind of sudden enlightenment the most, no longer requiring external help.
The transformation began the moment he made up his mind, but Ning Feng forcefully suppressed that change.
Because he made a promise, but he hadn't kept it yet.
He succeeded in killing the Flame Demon Queen, but he was still suppressing his emotions.
And finally, after drinking that glass of wine...
He really did it.
Thoughts are clear and open.
The angelic power, which had stagnated for a long time, surged dramatically at this moment.
The bloodshot color in his eyes faded, turning into a pale gold that was as cold as a blade.
Silver wings unfolded behind him, gleaming with a steel-like light.
The illusory halo above his head became more solid this time, not pure light, but like solidified mercury!
The wings on his back did not flap, but Ning Feng's figure gradually floated up, and his feet slightly lifted off the ground.
This posture appears even colder than the image of an angel in the minds of mortals.
It's even somewhat intimidating.
[The Angel of Judgment]
This is not an angel that brings happiness and joy.
Their very existence is a source of punishment and judgment for sinners.
In some ways, this is a special existence that is even more ferocious than a demon!
To fight violence with violence, and to judge criminals in the name of justice.
Ning Feng stopped and took a moment to assess his current state.
"This feeling is probably at level three?"
He raised his hand, and a silver-white spear quickly materialized in his hand. Ning Feng waved it slightly.
Buzz—
Listening to the sound of the gun tip tearing through the air, Ning Feng carefully sensed it, then shook his head.
No, the current situation is far beyond Ning Feng's imagination.
"If this isn't an illusion, then the second pair of wings is already an illusion."
The Judgment Angel's abilities far exceed those of the third rank, and it's even on the verge of breaking through to the fourth rank.
"The angels have finally surpassed the demons by a small margin."
Since the awakening began, the power of angels has finally surpassed the power of demons.
Previously, Ning Feng had been using his more proficient demonic power in almost all battles, while the power of the Judgment Angel seemed somewhat useless and superfluous.
In this trial of the Flame Demon Queen, in pursuit of the purest form of punishment, Ning Feng used almost exclusively the power of the Judgment Angel.
He borrowed Cecilia's power and exerted all his strength to unleash the judgment power of the angelic lineage.
Bring judgment upon sinners!
[Angel Judge - Tier 3]
"ha……"
Silently sensing the power, Ning Feng gradually calmed down and withdrew his outward judgely demeanor.
The light disappeared, and darkness returned to the surroundings.
Just as Ning Feng had fully recovered to his previous appearance, he heard a sigh in his ear:
You're calmer than I thought.
In the darkness, Ning Feng, who was walking slowly in a black robe, paused for a moment upon hearing this and tilted his head to look at the black cat on his shoulder.
Their eyes met, and both the human and the cat kept blinking.
"ah?"
【Meow meow meow?】
The two stared at each other for a long time before Ning Feng finally came to his senses and asked in surprise:
"Am I... being calm?"
Ning Feng carefully considered his previous actions and didn't quite understand what Ariana was saying at this moment.
To be honest, Ning Feng was a little stumped by Ariana's question.
What are you saying, sister?
My soul was directly transported to the abyss!
Regardless of how thrilling the process was, the final result was the death of a demon lord of the abyss.
If this is not handled properly, it could become a huge flashpoint!
If not handled properly, and other demons discover traces of human involvement, it could very well force demons to completely align themselves with supernatural beings.
Ning Feng had actually considered this before doing it, but in the end he still chose to do it this way.
Some things have to be done by someone.
If someone has to take the risk, why can't that person be me?
Although Ning Feng's approach was somewhat risk-free, he still had to admit that it did indeed involve an element of risk.
Such behavior can only be described as insane.
But now, this madness has been transformed into calmness in Ariana's words?
Am I considered calm?
Does it really count?
You call this calmness—doing something so risky...
Are you sure?
Seeing Ning Feng's questioning gaze, the black cat shrank back and said with a smile:
【Hmm~】
【How can it not count?】
