"Wow~ Alex, looks like you're going to get a brother-in-law~"
"Too talkative."
Alex sensed that the nine-star ability user guarding Aurora City was rapidly approaching with undisguised power, so he waved his hand and brought Long Yi and the four others, along with the Bewitching Demon, into his domain.
While considering whether to take Xiao Dai with her, Verania suddenly stood up and came to Alex with a sad expression.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine, he's just exhausted."
Furthermore, I will grant him the protection of the demon race. This protection will ensure that, as long as he does not initiate an attack, other demons will not harm him.
Hearing her brother's assurance, Verania still looked at the unconscious Dai behind her with some reluctance.
"Will I... will I ever be able to come back and see him again?"
"Little sister can't bear to part with her little boyfriend? Then take him all with you! The Netherworld Abyss is so big, it won't make a difference if he's not needed."
The Lord of Shadows quipped from the side.
Alex forcibly pulled him back. Didn't he see that Vera's face was flushed with embarrassment? And he still dared to say that!
"If he doesn't forget you, that day will come."
And I respect your choice: take it with you, or leave it behind?
"No... If he were still awake, I would love to know the answer, but I also know that Xiao Dai has his own family and friends. His communicator has never stopped since he met Cen Zhuoqun. He also has his own freedom."
I admit I like Xiao Dai because he's as reliable as my older brother when I was a child, has a chivalrous spirit, and would always stand up for me in any danger. He's also very gentle with me...
I don't want to use his unconsciousness to control his freedom, brother... let's go.
Alex nodded, said nothing more, and waved his hand to let Verania enter his Netherworld Domain as well.
As he mounted the ghostly horse radiating green flames, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Dai had also wielded a demonic spear and rode a ghostly horse with blue flames.
Haha, and he's a knight too? That really does remind me of myself...
He then imprinted the Demon Clan's protective seal onto Xiao Dai.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xiao Dai was jolted awake in his dream, releasing the light of revelation!
However, the light of revelation quickly disappeared, and its power was only slightly less than one star, and it struck thin air.
Upon seeing that Dai Shanren was still unconscious, Alex frowned slightly—was it an instinctive stress response?
"Holy crap! What was that noise just now?!"
"What? Why are you getting so worked up again?"
Alex frowned as he watched the Shadow Lord reappear. Every day, he questioned the decision he made back then. Why had the Shadow Lord, whom he had obeyed, turned out the way he was now?
"Holy crap! How can I not be excited! This damned holy light, isn't that the power that suddenly appeared when I was still in my complete form?!"
Without this power, I would have resurrected myself using your body long ago!
Um?
Alex's expression hardened. What? It was him?
However, Alex didn't have time to stay there any longer.
Because the humans in Aurora City had already entered his attack range, and he would see him in just a few steps.
"Interesting... a benefactor from across time and space?"
Then the Demon King of the Underworld disappeared from the spot, leaving only the unconscious Xiao Dai and Cen Zhuoqun who was crying and laughing hysterically beside him.
"Disappeared?"
Lord Takla, wielding a giant scythe, suddenly sensed that the powerful demonic energy source had vanished. Ren Tianchi and the military personnel following behind him also noticed Cen Youzhi, the Aurora City Lord, who was lying unconscious in the ruins.
Of course, they also found the unconscious Dai Shanren and the insane Cen Zhuoqun.
"So this traitor was here!"
"The Aurora City Lord has been unconscious for some time. Did this young man capture Cen Zhuoqun? How did he do it?"
"Such a strong demonic aura. This young master Cen is truly beyond saving."
The shadow power that had been scattered due to the battle had covered the demonic energy of the magic spear on Xiao Dai's body. Lord Takla, as a nine-star ability user, also asked everyone to search for nearby survivors and brought Cen Zhuoqun to the temporary mechanical trial platform.
"I'll leave this place to you. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and we can't stay in Aurora City any longer. I'll lead the team to clear out the demons at the rear exit and meet up with the support troops from the Southern Region. Then we'll head back to the main force together."
"May you have a safe journey, Lord Takla."
The military region commander and Ren Tianchi respectfully bid him farewell.
The military region commander also looked at Cen Zhuoqun on the stage with a complicated expression.
In fact, not only on the surface, but also in terms of personal relationships, he had an excellent relationship with the Lord of Aurora City. Just when they had decided to defend the mechanical factory, the Lord of Aurora City brought a crystal coffin.
Inside... was Cen Zhuoqun's mother, A Qing!
That old bastard was still deceiving everyone during the meeting. If Aurora City hadn't really fallen, and he couldn't just abandon everyone with Ah Qing, it would have been a different story.
He also wouldn't let himself protect that demon Aqing.
If other people in the military region find out about this, well, even if they aren't completely dismissed, they'll at least be placed on the list of key targets for surveillance.
"The rest of you can leave. Director Ren and I will handle the trial. Any objections?"
Those surrounding them shook their heads, leaving the judgment table to the commander and Ren Tianchi.
There are many things to do now, and since they don't need to attend the trial, they can go and do their own things.
