Chapter 436 The Demon Egg is Happy
Sally was a very timid child when she was young.
Because of his timid character, he was often teased by his two brothers when he was a child. Of course, the one who teased him the most was his second brother Wilder, who was idle every day.
What he remembers most vividly is that once his whole family went to see a horror stage play together.
The content of the stage play is very simple. It tells the story of a cursed puppet who kills people in a small town in an extremely cruel way. The puppet often appears in the victim's home one day in advance. He was so scared at the time that he was trembling with fear and almost fainted just by watching it.
When he was about to go back to his warm bed to sleep at night with an uneasy mood, he suddenly saw the murderous puppet named Slappy in the stage play on his bed!
What was his reaction at that time? It seemed like he was screaming and scratching non-stop. The entire Bed family was in chaos because of his screams.
Later I learned that Wilder bought this thing specifically to scare him and play a prank on him.
Later, Sally grew up and became braver. He was no longer afraid of puppets, but his childhood experiences left a psychological shadow in his heart.
He would be afraid of things in fantasy works that appear in the real world.
And now.
When he saw the thing in Eliphis' arms that looked like the Overlord's Egg, the childhood fear that had been buried in his memory finally emerged uncontrollably!
Now I remember, this isn't the first time I've seen this red thing, I've seen it on other captains before!
But why do I only remember it now?
It was as if someone had cleared the dust from his memory. The vague memories of the past in his mind were becoming clearer little by little. The effect of Happiny had taken effect a long time ago, but it was not until now that a real obvious impact appeared!
The clarity of memory is just the beginning. When he is able to examine his memory with a clear mind, more and more things that are wrong gradually surface.
Cold sweat kept coming out of his back. What on earth had he been doing these days? What kind of place was he staying in?
Eliphis, the man.
Sally looked towards where Eliphis was, however.
Gone.
The other party disappeared.
His heart was in a mess and he took a few steps back, trying to rush out of the door, but he bumped into a tall body.
"What did you see?"
Silver-white hair fell from above. Sally swallowed and slowly raised his head.
He faced Eliphis's face shrouded in shadow, with only a pair of eyes emitting blue light that were extremely cold.
"Captain Eliphis!"
Perhaps to give himself courage, Sally directly shouted out the other person's name. This shout was indeed effective. His body overcame the numbness caused by fear and resumed movement. He turned around and hit the other person with his elbow.
“Pah—”
This kind of surprise attack certainly couldn't hurt Eliphis. Although he was defeated by Elsa, the former left the Light Eagle Group, so he was still the strongest person here.
Sally was about to fight back, but the next second he felt dizzy, followed by a heart-wrenching pain in the back of his head, and he was knocked to the ground!
My head was concussed so hard that I almost passed out from the pain, but now was not the time to leisurely fall asleep.
He barely opened his eyes and just halfway raised his arm in resistance when his expression suddenly became horrified.
"Incredible, even you have learned to resist."
Eliphis's somewhat hoarse voice came from above, but Sally couldn't see the other person's face.
Because his face was tightly grasped by the other party's big hand, his consciousness fell into nothingness and darkness.
The face was giving a warning of pain. The hand gripping the face did not feel human. It felt like an eagle's claw as hard as steel and as sharp as an arrow!
"Just let me see what happened between you and Gus."
"Knock, knock, knock, Captain, what happened? We heard some commotion."
There was a knock on the door, and along with it came the voice of the archer captain.
Outside the door, a group of captains who had not walked far heard the noise coming from the house, so they turned back.
But when they knocked on the door, the noise inside the house disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Several people looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Since the leader didn't say anything, it meant that what happened next was not something they could interfere with.
However, just as they were about to leave, the door of the room opened.
When people turned around, they first saw Sally lying on the ground.
Then, Eliphis appeared at the door.
Her long hair was scattered and a little messy, but her eyes were sparkling.
"You guys, come with me."
He stretched out his right hand, and the painting world of Berserk suddenly unfolded in front of everyone. The black sun hanging high in the center of the painting attracted everyone's attention.
The sun, the symbol of life, as long as it appears, it means that the world is still running as usual, giving people hope for the future.
However, when the sun, a symbol of vitality, was stained black and hung high above the sky that seemed to be smeared with blood, a strong sense of blasphemy appeared in the hearts of every viewer.
"Sure enough, the effect is even more shocking when you see it in person."
Soon, in the world of painting.
Eliphis stared at the black sun in the sky, and his eyes revealed a look that no one else had seen.
It was as if the shadow of being defeated by Elsa had dissipated, and now he saw something new that could cheer him up.
Not only the black sun, but also the human faces that made up the sky and the ground, the twisted and deformed apostle monsters, and the giant hand standing in the center, all these extremely grotesque scenes made him happy.
"Captain, what should we do?"
The captain of the assault team stood beside him holding a sledgehammer and a shield, staring seriously at the monsters that were slaughtering the members of the Eagle Group. As a result, this painting world only allowed two people to enter at the same time.
The two of them finished watching the images in this painting world. However, the simple-minded captain of the assault team did not think too much like Sally. He was just thinking about how to protect his leader from the siege of monsters. He can be said to be a loyal person.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, the leader of the assault team asked again curiously:
"Captain?"
Eliphis heard it, but he didn't want to talk now.
What does the life and death of the Eagle Group have to do with him? If they all died, it would save some noise. An overly noisy environment would only affect his thinking.
"It's something very similar to the Fallen Demon Egg."
He reached his hand inside his clothes and grasped the red and green Fallen Demon Eggs from his arms. He felt their uneven surface in his hands but did not take them out. In his mind, he recalled the Overlord Egg that Griffith used when he summoned the Eclipse.
The two are so similar that it almost makes people doubt whether they are the same thing.
But Eliphis shook his head after thinking for a moment.
No, the Demon Egg and the Overlord Egg are not the same thing. Not only are their methods of effectiveness different, but they are also not the same thing in essence.
He had watched up close the process of the demons producing fallen demon eggs, which had nothing to do with the Overlord's Egg, which might have been of a very high nature.
He linked the Overlord's Egg to the evil god, and believed that the Eclipse was a ritual to gain power through sacrifice to please the evil god.
It's really amazing that in the distant past, who knows how many years ago, there was a person who was somewhat similar to him who formed an organization that was somewhat similar to the Light Eagle Group, and unfolded a story that ended in tragedy.
Even now, this story made Elsa and Sally, his subordinates under Eliphis, think of rebellion, and one of them has already put it into practice.
Eliphis just felt it was wonderful, everything in the eclipse was wonderful.
And when the screams of the Eagle Group completely disappeared, the giant hand slowly opened, and the Dark Wing Femont flew out of the giant hand.
The wonder in Eliphis' heart reached its peak, and he suddenly grasped the green demon egg in his hand.
Sacrifice to gain power.
Griffith's actions opened the door to a new world for Eliphis!
He has never found a method to use the fallen devil egg that suits him. If he could learn from this senior,
The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing his neat teeth.
The green demon egg suddenly jumped, as if responding to his thoughts.
Eliphis was stunned. This was the first time that the green demon egg responded to him in this way, even though it had been indifferent before.
"I see, so you think so too."
He pulled his hand out of his pocket. At this moment, the painting world had restarted and the dead Eagle Groups were resurrected one after another.
"My ugly allies really made something good."
With a sigh, Eliphis drew his weapon from his waist. His mind was now clear and he really wanted to find a place to release his excessive emotions.
"Are we going to attack, Captain?" The leader of the assault team said, "There are too many monsters. It looks like we are going to have a tough battle after a long time."
"A tough fight?"
Eliphis laughed softly, a smile that could charm thousands of girls.
A small ball of light formed in his hand. He aimed his attack magic at the target, and the light shot out in a straight line, exploding in an instant.
The heads of two members of the Eagle Group.
"What are you doing?" asked the team leader in confusion.
Eliphis just kept smiling and said:
"It's been a while since you've fought humans. You need to start your rehabilitation now."
A question mark appeared over the leader of the assault team.
[And compared to these humans, the other side should be our friends.]
Eliphis' voice sounded in his mind, and the captain's expression changed. Finally, he gripped the sledgehammer tightly and rushed into the monster.
One hammer kills an eagle group.
Seeing the other party's performance, Eliphis was very satisfied.
Although he just said that he wanted to follow Griffith's example, his current situation was different from that of the other party. He still had a very high status in the kingdom and had a future of becoming king. He was not like Griffith, who was like a stray dog.
In other words, he has no reason to use the Demon Egg yet, and his future is bright.
“Drink…”
A man's roar came from the side. He turned around and saw Gus fighting with the captain of the assault team. The angry former actually prevented the latter from fighting back in a short time.
Guts' figure gradually overlapped with the black swordsman he had seen in the Casas crypt, and the upturned corners of his mouth gradually subsided.
So this is the origin of the Black Swordsman?
It's really tragic.
Looking down at the other party's miserable appearance from a high position, the frustration of being defeated by the other party disappeared in an instant.
However, in Eliphis's eyes, Guts gradually turned into Erza again.
He frowned immediately, not knowing what he was thinking.
He then looked at the giant hand again, thinking about Griffith's deeds who was hatching inside, and suddenly said to himself:
"It's time to go to the princess tonight."
