You can even unknowingly gain the protection of a demon king!
You want to take a shortcut and gain the power I once possessed.
Sigh... Look at me now. Back then, I risked my life to avoid being sealed in the book, so I forcibly merged my consciousness with Alex's. And what happened? Some holy light appeared out of nowhere and helped this kid out.
They directly shattered the balance that Lao Tzu had established!
So many years have passed, and apart from using my last strength to resist in the Abyss of Demons, I have completely become his second consciousness. Sigh... I can't stop crying when I think back to those days.
Upon hearing the Lord of Shadows start singing, Alex immediately withdrew his voice, telling him not to embarrass him here.
Then he looked at Vera, who looked dazed.
Long time no see... little sister.
"elder brother?"
"It's me."
"You...I..."
Although she had a lot to say, when it came to the point of speaking, Verania suddenly recalled the final fate of Lord Mark and the Holy Crusade, and her eyes dimmed again.
My brother... he's changed...
“We don’t have time to stay here any longer. That weird thing can kill Blood Moon and Ashes, so it can kill me too.”
Although we don't know where they've gone now, someone will be coming here soon.
I'm so sorry, Nia. I used to hold onto a sliver of hope that you'd be doing well in human society, but now... I want to take you away.
"Now? Why...brother?"
Upon hearing the word "leave," Verania instinctively hugged the unconscious Xiao Dai tightly in her arms. Just as she had previously trusted Young Master Cen of the City Lord's Mansion, she now heard familiar words again. That familiar feeling made her very vigilant, and she watched her brother as alertly as a rabbit.
"Oh dear! I said back then that instead of sending her here, we should take your sister with us to the Abyss. Back in the Empire, you, being such a sister-obsessed person, would send Netherworld Warriors to keep an eye on your sister every now and then. After not seeing her for so long, you finally saw her in danger with your own eyes."
Feeling sorry for them?
Alex, unusually, did not refute, but looking at his wary sister, he still gave a brief explanation.
"Back then... we weren't famous when we entered the Abyss. During that time, we encountered many dangerous things. Thinking back on those times, I have no doubt about why I made the decision to let you leave."
However, I am now a Demon King, and I have even opened up the neutral Netherworld Abyss. It's just that because of the Demon Abyss, I was unable to join the first batch of the Demon King's army, and I was unable to meet you sooner. This is my fault.
I will no longer leave you alone... my sister.
Alex knew about Nia's guilt and her yearning for freedom. Cen Zhuoqun and the Bewitching Demon were right about one thing: once Vera accepted the power of the Great Demon, the demonization would be irreversible.
Verania is destined to become a demon, even though she can now transform back into human form.
However, the once sacred power of the saintess has also acquired a touch of temptation.
This transformation takes time. Gradually, the human and demonic bodies will merge, leading to Alex's current state.
It's somewhat like a human, and somewhat like a demon.
Therefore, continuing to live in human society would be impossible, so taking Vera away was Alex's best option.
"I...I don't want to..."
"Little sister, you have no choice. Do you think you can go back to the way you were before?"
Verania looked behind her brother and saw Long Yi and the others!
The four of them had long since become demons, and their consciousness was in a state of confusion. Apart from protecting Verania, they were no longer as active as before.
Then she looked at her own body.
Enveloped in magical runes and energy, she herself understood that her personality and behavior had undergone a complete transformation. The only thing that remained unchanged was the consciousness awakened by Xiao Dai...
"By the way, how does this human manage to switch between human and demonic forms so freely? Should we take him back with us? If we can figure it out, you and your sister can go back to your former forms."
The Lord of Shadows muttered to himself, "This is one way, but Alex just looked at his sister Verania."
Verania looked sad, and finally kissed Xiao Dai's forehead, gently placing him on a nearby rock. She also noticed the Holy Crusader skin charm that Xiao Dai was wearing, which she had given to him.
Trembling, Vera could no longer hold back and buried her face in Dai's arms, crying.
If it weren't for Xiao Dai, she would have become Cen Zhuoqun's sacrifice long ago. She really wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Dai. Xiao Dai's light shone on her, preventing her from going her own way and giving her hope to hold on until her brother's arrival.
"Wow~ Alex, looks like you're going to get a brother-in-law~"
"Too talkative."
