She wanted to die... She was tired... Her memories had returned long ago when she fell into depravity.
Brother... Lord Mark... Sister Vivi...
Perhaps a person's life is like living in a cage, with no freedom whatsoever except being confined to this small piece of space.
She...in the end, she couldn't escape her parents' arranged marriage. She could escape for a while, but how could she escape forever?
But after she arrived in the Dragon Kingdom, she met Xiao Dai again.
For some reason, she always felt a sense of closeness to Xiao Dai. Did this closeness stem from her own brother? Perhaps it was because she admired her brother so much when she was a child, and Xiao Dai's chivalrous spirit was so similar to her brother's?
Xiao Dai... I'm not worth your precious feelings...
I am inherently evil and crave freedom, which led to the deaths of my parents, my brother, Lilith, and Lord Mark...
Right now, she's afraid she might kill Xiao Dai!
A mix of pain, inner turmoil, a yearning for redemption, and a sense of self-imposed isolation surrounded Verania.
Not far away, Cen Zhuoqun and Dai Shanren were engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows: "You draw your sword! I draw my shield!"
The two abandoned all supernatural abilities and relied solely on savage hand-to-hand combat in a frenzied melee.
To outsiders, the style of their fight has almost completely changed!
"Oh my god!!!"
"Waaaaaah!!!"
Cen Zhuoqun couldn't break through Dai Shanren's shield, and Dai Shanren couldn't hurt Cen Zhuoqun, but the two of them were determined to attack each other with all their might!
Because Cen Zhuoqun wants Xiao Dai to fall as well, and Xiao Dai can't let Cen Zhuoqun get close to Verania! Both of them have reasons not to lose!
Sudden!
The sunlight in the sky was being blocked by something!
The ground in Aurora City was trembling violently, and Dai Shanren's place was also affected!
"Chance!"
Cen Zhuoqun's eyes lit up. He had been planning for so long and was an extremely intelligent half-human, half-demon who was good at seizing opportunities. He immediately used the space created by the violent earthquake to shake off Dai Shanren, but Dai Shanren held on tightly and wouldn't let him escape.
However, Cen Zhuoqun still managed to get close to Verania and once again repelled Long Yi and his group of four.
He frantically thrust the longsword in his hand at Veraia!
He's gambling!!!
Verania's dazed gaze returned at that moment, and she saw... the sword that was clearly aimed at her had pierced Xiao Dai, who had suddenly dodged in front of her and ultimately collapsed into her arms!
Hahaha! You really think she's your princess?!
"Useless knight! This sword was meant for you from the very beginning!"
Hearing Cen Zhuoqun's mockery, Dai Shanren felt as if his whole body was being corrupted by the power of darkness, his eyes and consciousness were extremely tired, and the huge sphere in the sky had already covered his entire vision.
Did we lose again...? Miss Nia...?
"The power of the Lord of Shadows is mine!"
With no one else blocking his way, Cen Zhuoqun finally caught Verania. Verania tried to struggle, not wanting to watch Xiao Dai faint, but it was no use. Cen Zhuoqun was absorbing the Great Demon Mark within her!
"10%, 20%, 30%..."
Cen Zhuoqun excitedly absorbed this incredibly powerful force, but when he was halfway through absorbing it, a world-destroying force suddenly came from the sky!
As thousands of demons charged forward, the cannons on both sides suddenly unleashed terrifyingly powerful molten lasers!
The laser beam stretched straight ahead, heading directly towards Cen Zhuoqun!
!!
Cen Zhuoqun had no choice but to leave in a flash. At the same time, the place was completely destroyed due to the laser, and the ground beneath his feet also cracked and collapsed.
Verania had also recovered some of her demonic energy, but instead of leaving immediately, she held the unconscious Xiao Dai tightly in her arms.
Everyone continued to fall until the roars of the demons in the sky gradually weakened, and then Long Yi and the others found Verania curled up.
But Verania looked at her arms in a panic. Where was Dai?
"The Demon King's army has been defeated!!!"
A message came from afar: the human forces of Aurora City had finally witnessed the dawn. The mechanical star, which was comparable to one-fifth the size of Aurora City, successfully took off and killed two demon kings, forcing another demon king to retreat with his army. The Ice Skeleton Demon King and the nine-star ability user Takla separated after fighting in the dimensional space.
It looks like they suffered a significant loss.
So... where did the other demon king go?
"Let's continue with what we didn't finish. Shall we begin?"
Cen Zhuoqun, whose strength had skyrocketed from the peak of the six-star level to the mid-eight-star level, climbed up from the ruins and looked at Verania with an extremely excited expression.
He didn't care whether the Demon King's army won or lost; he only needed to achieve his own goal!
"You're dreaming!"
Just as Cen Zhuoqun was about to absorb it again, a demonic spear suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
