Chapter 2794 Demon King
Today is Wednesday and it is almost time to go to work, so Iluna did not stay with Shad for too long. After talking to him about the lists of Miss Wilde, Miss Bister and Miss Metz, she left.
However, Shade did not immediately take the cat to Vesta Forest, because not long after sending Iluna away, the doctor came to visit:
"Good morning. I was worried that you had left. I am ready to go to the woods tonight. You can summon me at any remote intersection at midnight."
He sat down on the sofa in Xia De's house and looked at Xia De seriously with his blue eyes:
"Detective, are the helpers you found here? If they are, we will act together at 12 o'clock tonight. There is no need to drag this matter on. It will be better for everyone if it ends as soon as possible."
Xia De understood very well:
"Sister Develin will be here any minute. I will go ask about Miss Elsa Asberg's location later. But doctor, I can only confirm two of the demon's clones right now. We may not have time to find the other two today."
He explained about George Kant, the "ghost of hatred" in the deserted village, the Deering Zionists, and the devil in the woods, and the doctor was not worried:
"According to your plan, let your fellow nuns deal with the 'Ghost of Resentment' that has the power of the First Flame and the Relic. When I get to the forest, I will go directly to find the most powerful clone that you said has almost become a natural phenomenon. As long as the three of you can clamp down on the remaining three clones, I am confident that I can lock it directly.
So, today you have to determine who among the Derin'or Restorationists is the devil, and then you and the Thirteenth Ring Warlock will discuss who will deal with whom. Of course, if you really can't be sure, I can also detect it after I arrive, but although the possibility is small, I am worried that this will alert it. "
"Let me investigate."
Xia De felt that this was not difficult:
"We should be able to get a conclusion by tonight, but doctor, do we need to act at the same time? To prevent any split bodies from escaping?"
“Of course, and I must remind you that, except for me, when you kill a demon, you are not destroying it permanently. Instead, you are causing its clones’ power to dissipate, with a small portion of its power returning to the original body, which is the other clones.
This means that the fewer the demon's clones are, the stronger the remaining clones will be, and the person who kills the demon in the end will face the greatest pressure. So I will try my best to delay my opponent, and after the three of you have dealt with the enemy, I will make the final blow. "
In fact, according to the doctor, if the four people could kill their opponents almost at the same time, no one would face the greatest pressure. However, this would not only make the battle more difficult, but the more complicated the plan, the easier it would be to go wrong, so Xia De did not mention this idea.
The doctor came this morning to discuss tonight's plan with Shade, and to listen to Shade's progress in investigating the demon. Although he was confident that the fire demon, Dezast, was not an important character, he was not confident enough to really think that he was the nemesis of that demon.
Of course, Shade also warned the doctor that the demon's forest clone was suspected to have joined an even more terrifying enemy, and mentioned the soul of the old woman encountered on Monday during his investigation in Gregory Village and the heritage of the witcher.
The middle-aged blue-eyed psychologist held a cup of tea and sighed:
"I have been investigating demons for many years, and I have heard during my travels that there is still a tradition of demon hunters in this era, but I have never seen them. Even if they still exist, their number must be very small. If possible, I would like to meet them."
"Since we're talking about this, doctor, do you mind if I use you to test my new magic? [Remaining Advice] can reveal some information about the demons that the demon hunters have fought against."
Xia De then asked with a smile. The doctor certainly didn't mind, or rather, he was also very curious about what Xia De could see from him.
So Shade took out the Demon Hunting Seal and put it on his hand. In order to maximize the effect of the magic, he even called out the Life Ring. The two sat face to face on the single sofa in the living room. When the doctor put down the teacup and Mia stood on the sofa behind Shade with her eyes wide open with curiosity, Shade touched the ring on his right hand with his left hand:
"The remaining advice."
The magic was successfully activated, and Xia De felt a slight coolness in his eyes, so he looked up at the doctor who was sitting upright. The doctor immediately shuddered and said uncomfortably:
"Well, just as I expected, when you cast your magic on me, I could feel your gaze directly. I even felt like you saw my soul directly. This is consistent with the knowledge I have. This is not a power for hunters to use during investigations, but a power that prevents hunters from dying too quickly when facing battles with unknown demons."
Xia De did not respond to this sentence immediately. He originally thought that after activating the magic surgery, he would see information related to other demons such as "human pus" swallowed by the doctor, but the facts were very different from what he imagined.
Four sentences written in different languages floated beside the doctor. These languages did not exist in the form of individual letters, but in the form of strings of glowing white runes, similar to when Shad summoned Adele in the "past life".
Even without the "Language Comprehending" skill, Shad could understand the meaning of these runes, because this magic itself has the power to allow the user to understand the true meaning of the advice:
[There is a strong enemy ahead. I have abandoned my courage here. It is time to give up. ]
"Give up? The strong enemy refers to the thing inside the doctor's body?"
[There is no weakness in front, so aim to escape. Luck will be very useful next time. ]
"Run away? I don't believe there are enemies without weaknesses in this world."
[The split demon, the incomplete power, it is indeed it. There is no enemy to fight, turn back now. ]
Although this passage is still a reminder for those who come later to leave, it at least provides the effective information of "the divided demon".
As for the last piece of information:
[Invincible, unbeatable, this is the Demon King. ]
"Judging from your expression, you must have seen some incredible information."
The doctor, who was becoming more and more uncomfortable with Xia De's gaze, couldn't help but speak. He felt goose bumps all over his body:
"In ancient times, the longer demon hunters lived, the more information they acquired. Once they died, a lot of intelligence related to demons would be lost, which is why there was a secret method called [Remaining Advice].
Theoretically, the more powerful the hunter's soul is, the richer and more complete the resonant information will be. Your soul must be powerful, so what did you see?"
"I saw people reminding me to run away, saying there was a strong enemy ahead that I couldn't defeat. I thought they would remind me of my weaknesses, like I hate seafood or I'm afraid of the cold."
Xia De adjusted his expression and said, and the doctor also laughed:
"That's pretty much what I expected, but is that the only information you saw about me? I thought there would be information about the demons I devoured."
"There is none of that, which means this magic is very accurate in judging you."
Shade turned around and pulled the cat that was moving behind his head over and forced it onto his lap:
"Also, this thaumaturgy says you are the 'Demon King'."
At that moment, the expression on the doctor's face became stiff, which even looked a little funny.
He and Shade had discussed the topic of the "Demon King" before, and during the short academy escort mission this year, he even admitted that the disappearance of the souls of the former team leader Mr. Shelf Tim and Ms. Shana Aya was related to the so-called "Demon King" (Chapter 1653).
The doctor said at the time that the demon was "the original demon", "the oldest demon", "the demon of sin", and "the first evil spirit demon recorded in rumors, the oldest evil, the original demon".
Although Shad himself had some guesses, the doctor never said that he himself was related to the "Demon King".
When Shade said this so easily, even Bill Schneider, who never panicked easily, was a little overwhelmed. But looking at Shade's expression, he felt that Shade was not that surprised:
"Detective, why do I feel like you've already guessed it?"
"It's not that I guessed it, it's just that the enemy and I have the same origin is a very classic setting."
The stranger spoke in words that only he understood, and continued to look at the bewildered doctor, but he no longer used his magic:
"And you yourself said, doctor, that the source of your current abilities is the accident that happened many years ago. So I have reason to guess that the source of your power is the demon who kidnapped Mr. Tim and Ms. Aya. He caused that horrible accident, but he also brought you power."
"No, it's not that simple, and it's not accurate to say 'my power comes from it'."
The doctor shook his head hesitantly, but his expression became more serious:
"I can't explain what happened back then in detail, but my strength definitely didn't come from it. What happened back then almost caused a consequence no less than an unknowable-level relic going out of control. It was Mr. Tim and Ms. Aya who protected me, who was still very weak at the time, and also protected this world."
He placed his hand on his heart:
"Until now, I still often dream about that night. They are true heroes. Their sacrifice has allowed today's civilization to continue stably. As for me, I was only responsible for guarding the thing that was almost taken away. Yes, just a little bit."
What he said was quite obscure, but Xia De, who was familiar with various stories, understood it:
"Then let me make a reasonable guess."
