"That's right." Lathel said, smiling.
He was not surprised that his fist was stopped by the demon lord. After all, the other party is a terrifying existence, and his level is only level 40.
If he could easily defeat the Demon Lord, then the existence of a male protagonist is aningless.
"Are you sure about this choice?"
"Of course!" Lathel replied.
Crack!
Lathel's fist that was stopped began to push towards the Demon Lord. The invisible energy wall in front of the Demon Lord started cracking.
"That ans your enemy... Ikarys will also live."
"I don't care." Lathel frowned and replied: "As long as Arine and Dorothy are alive, that's enough. As for Ikarys... I don't think he will die here."
The Demon Lord heard that and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, it seems like you are really not normal. Lathel, do you know the secret of the world's will?"
"Not necessarily." Lathel smiled and shrugged, but he still did not forget to try to push his fist towards the Demon Lord.
More cracks appeared in front of Lathel.
"I just feel that… I want to make a deal with you, Demon Lord."
"Oh! Are you qualified to trade with ?" The Demon Lord said contemptuously.
"Of course I don't have that qualification, but I know... what your future is like."
"Hm?! Little human, do you think you can fool ?" The Demon Lord replied.
"Heh?! If you are not interested in what I say, why do you ask?
"Hahahaha… human, you are very smart. However…" Before the Demon Lord could finish his sentence, the puppet raised its hand, its claws aid straight at Lathel's head as it slashed down.
Lathel frowned. In just this small mont, he couldn't do anything. His fist seed to be stuck to the invisible wall in front of him.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of him.
"Arine?!"
Whoosh!
The claw slashed down, and a cut could be seen extending from Arine's left shoulder all the way to her stomach. The cut was so deep that her bones could be seen inside, and fresh blood flowed out like an unstoppable stream.
Lathel never thought that Arine would protect him.
She slowly fell to the ground, her blood spilling out. At this mont, his mind seed to be frozen; he only saw Arine glance at him with a satisfied smile on her blood-stained face.
Arine's lips moved as if she were saying sothing. He didn't know what she was saying, nor did he hear her clearly; he only saw her eyes slowly close.
"Ah! How touching..." The Demon Lord said teasingly: "For love? For fa? Or... does she have another reason to save you?"
"You humans are so strange, so confusing, and so stupid. I feel very humiliated to be defeated by humans like you and then imprisoned here."
"Of course, I will still keep my promise and let those people leave. As for this girl… she died because of her stupidity; you can't bla ."
The Demon Lord waved his hand, and Ikarys and Dorothy were imdiately swept into the space vortex behind them.
Ikarys felt extrely happy. He glanced at Lathel, who was standing still, looking at Arine lying in a pool of blood with satisfaction.
'In the end… this is the best outco. Hahaha… I'm still alive.... and she is dead.'
Ikarys and Dorothy disappeared.
Lathel just stood still. He looked at Arine lying in a pool of blood, dead.
He slowly knelt down and held Arine in his arms with both hands. At this mont, the mories that seed to be covered in dust, obscured by a layer of fog, gradually beca clear.
This girl... he had t her before.
Not while he lived on Earth, nor while he lived in this world.
Those are mories from a world that he wants to forget. That's right, that's the world where he helped Dandite fix the bug.
Even though his mories were not complete, he could recall a lot of things about this girl.
A girl with two personalities, no… It's not like she has two personalities, either. In reality, she is not as lovely as she looks.
It's just... she tries to create a lovely, cheerful, and innocent personality to fool everyone for her job as an idol.
Lathel knew well the mysterious personality hidden in her. However, he doesn't hate that personality; on the contrary, he finds her very interesting and a bit pitiful.
"Arine…" Lathel suddenly cried, his tears flowing out: "Why did you co here? Why are you so stupid?"
"In that world… you would have had a good life and a future full of roses. Why?"
He didn't understand... he didn't understand how Arine could co to this place. He also didn't understand why she sacrificed herself to save him.
Lathel didn't understand, nor did he want to understand.
"Human… how long will you cry?" The Demon Lord suddenly spoke.
"You…" Lathel raised his head; his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and countless lightning bolts shot out from him.
At this ti, Lathel almost lost the ability to control his power. His energy poured out like a river as he stared at the demon lord.
"Angry?!" The Demon Lord sneered: "Small, weak, and useless. Even if you are angry, what can you do? Kill ? Hahahaha…"
"Good! Human… let's bet. If you can defeat my puppet, I will save her and bring her back to life. I will even set you free."
"If you lose… you must beco nourishnt for ."
Lathel did not answer; he just stared at the demon lord.
The Demon Lord smiled and said: "It seems you have agreed to this bet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Lord waved his hand, and he and Lathel disappeared together.
On the stone altar, only Arine's body remained.
…
Lathel was startled to discover that he was standing in a strange space. On the ground is a thin layer of water, about 3–5 cm. However, this layer of water is a bit strange.
He lowered his head and saw that his reflection on the water's surface was slightly crazy.
Lathel frowned; he knew that was not his face; however... it seed that this water surface was reflecting the dark side of a person.
He looked around; the sky was dark, but there were countless stars shining, which helped illuminate this seemingly endless space.
"Welco to my dinsion, Lathel." The Demon Lord's puppet suddenly appeared, floating in the air, less than ten tres away from Lathel.
"Demon Lord!" Lathel gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes filled with anger.
"Hahahaha… Don't show how angry you are." The Demon Lord laughed, his voice carrying contempt as if speaking to a dog.
"To survive in this world full of brutality, relying on anger alone is not enough."
"Strength… authority… wisdom… talent… resources… If you have all of those, even if you are a pig, you can beco a genius."
"But if you don't have those things, even if you are a genius, in the future you will just be a pig, waiting for soone stronger to kill you."
"Lathel… I find you very interesting; please follow . I can give you everything and help you beco a genius."
"The church, the empire, or the heroes… those idiots will kneel at your feet in the future. Power, resources, beautiful won… you will have everything you want."
Lathel frowned. He did not answer the Demon Lord; instead, he just adjusted his outfit. He wore a pair of gloves on his hands and a pair of strange shoes on his feet, with a pair of wings engraved on them.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord shook his head and sighed: "It seems... I cannot convince you."
"You… talk too much." Lathel said contemptuously, his voice echoing throughout this space.
"Hahahaha… Even though I can't make you my subordinate, I still find you very interesting." The demon lord laughed loudly.
"Co here! Show ... how big the difference is between you and the other geniuses."
"Gondori!"
Kritt!!!
Lathel shouted, and imdiately afterward, his body was surrounded by countless strange purple lightnings, and the terrifying energy radiated out, forming a gust of wind that blew out around him.
The puppet took out a sickle, then smiled and said: "To make you not feel unfair, I will put myself at level 80, which is only twice your level."
"Very fair, right?"
"Huh!" Lathel snorted in disdain, then…
BAM!
The ground shattered, and water splashed around. Lathel was like a bullet, shooting towards the Demon Lord at an extrely terrifying speed, leaving a trail of purple light in his path.
"Fool!" The Demon Lord said contemptuously.
GRAOO!!!
However, a roar rang out.
A giant lightning dragon suddenly appeared, opened its mouth, and rushed towards the Demon Lord.
"What?!" The Demon Lord was a bit surprised.
"Lightning Dragon… Descend!"
BAM!
The Thunder Dragon collided with the Demon Lord's puppet, causing countless shock waves to shoot out. The space vibrated violently, and countless lightning bolts shot out and wreaked havoc around.
Lathel frowned, seeing that the Thunder Dragon did not seem to touch the Demon Lord but was separated by an invisible wall in front.
"Hahahaha… Lathel… Do you think a level 40 can defeat a level 80?" The Demon Lord said contemptuously: "Even if you are a super genius, you can't..."
Crack!
Before the Demon Lord's words could finish, countless cracks appeared in the space in front of him.
"Impossible!"
"Death Lightning!" Lathel shouted.
Imdiately after that, the space seed to lose its colour; a blinding purple light shone everywhere, engulfing the Demon Lord inside.
BAM!
