Demon King Priest

"How could this happen! How could my Hercules would be..." Iphia, who was holding Sin of Ice and Snow, looked at what was happening before her eyes in disbelief. In the battle between Ulysses and Hercules just now, she couldn't interfere at all, she could only put all hope on the giant who was close to invincibility in her mind.

However, what she couldn't believe was that Hercules, who possessed an invulnerable body, was defeated by Ulysses. When his huge body crashed to the ground, her heart stopped beating, and an icy chill ran through her body.

And Ulysses, who had taken the Judgment of Abyss back, moved quickly towards the place where Iphia was without stopping for a second. She could feel the cold killing intent in his eyes even if it was more than ten meters away.

"No, no!" Iphia, who was occupied by fear, yelled, desperately waving the Sin of Ice and Snow in her hand, and one after another white cold energy waves shot out from the sword. In this way, she no longer had the cold and calm image that she had when she commanded Hercules to attack Ulysses. Now she was just an ordinary little girl whose mind was filled with fear.

But it was useless. The white cold energy that was cast out wildly couldn't hit Ulysses, who was moving at high speed. He just shook his body a few times, easily dodging the attack of the white cold energy.

"It's over." Ulysses, who moved before Iphia's body, said lightly, and then swung down the Judgment of Abyss in his hand...

Suddenly, the sword could not be swung down. And the reason was that Ulysses stopped himself from swinging the sword. His left hand hit his right hand holding the sword fiercely, and the Judgment of Abyss, which should have divided Iphia into two halves, stopped in the air.

Then, Ulysses had a look of great pain on his face, and big drops of sweat flowed down from his forehead and dripped to the ground. His body also began to tremble uncontrollably, and he finally stepped back a few steps, as if something invisible was giving orders in his body.

"Understood. So you don't want me to kill this girl. Okay, but we can't let her off easily. Don't worry, I won't kill her." This abnormal situation continued for several seconds. After Ulysses said this in a low voice, he stopped.

When Ulysses fell into an anomaly, Iphia didn't take this perfect opportunity to attack him, but stared blankly at the blood-red magic eye on the Judgment of Abyss' hilt above her, as if something was devouring her consciousness.

"What a lucky girl, you actually met a benevolent demon king. Now feel this sword! You should be honored to receive this sword." Ulysses returned to normal. After saying it calmly, he swung down the sword that he should have swung down long ago.

"Judgment of Abyss!..." Following Ulysses's low shout, the dark red giant sword struck Iphia's right hand holding Sin of Ice and Snow, leaving a black sword mark on it.

"Pa!" The Sin of Ice and Snow in Iphia's hand fell to the ground, red blood poured from her right hand, and the severe pain woke her up.

"No! Hercules!" The first thing that Iphia did after she woke up was not to look at Ulysses in front of her, but to run to the place where Hercules had fallen and take his right hand. Then she began to shake Hercules' huge body vigorously, hoping to awaken the black giant.

However, no matter how hard she tried, Hercules couldn't give her any response. He couldn't even move his finger after he was hit by the Judgment of Abyss just now.

"Wait, we will go back to Darkwing Gate right away. The sisters over there will heal you!" After discovering that no matter what she did, she couldn't wake up Hercules, who had turned gray, Iphia gritted her teeth and took out a purple crystal from her arms, and threw it to the ground forcefully.

With a sound of "Crack!", the purple crystal turned into countless small fragments. These fragments did not fly around randomly, but floated into the air, forming a six-pointed star magic circle that surrounded Hercules and Iphia.

"Positioning, Darkwing Gate, teleport!" As Iphia whispered, the space suddenly produced a wave of ripples like when the surface of the water was broken by stones, and then a purple light flashed, and both her and Hercules disappeared into the air.

What made people feel strange was that in this series of actions, she didn't even glance at Ulysses, who could kill her at any time, as if he didn't exist at all. Ulysses, who was on the side, also watched her perform this series of actions without doing anything, until she and Hercules disappeared. The two parties who were killing each other just now suddenly became like passers-by who had nothing to do with each other.

"Time is up!" Ten seconds after Iphia disappeared with Hercules, Ulysses whispered and fell straight down.

"Pa!" His fallen body was caught by a pair of hands wearing steel gloves. The one who caught him was Arcelia who had just arrived. Behind her was Helen wearing pajamas that had been dyed red with blood.

"Is daddy okay?!" Helen looked anxiously at Ulysses who had fallen into Arcelia's arms unconsciously, and called out nervously.

Arcelia took a close look at Ulysses' face, then put her hand on his chest to check his heartbeat, and said affirmatively,

"He is okay. He just seems to be out of strength. He should get better after some rest on the boat. Let's go back." After speaking, she picked up Ulysses' body and walked slowly in the direction of the ship.

"That's great! Where are those who were fighting Daddy! It was them who summoned those magic beasts, right? I'm going to kill them all." Hearing that Ulysses was okay, the anxious expression on Helen's face disappeared, and what was replaced was a face of cold killing intent.

"Their scent had just disappeared. Either they escaped or they were wiped out by Ulysses. Don't worry about those things, let's go back to the boat. When he wakes up, let's search the deserted island carefully." Arcelia holding Ulysses reminded Helen that the most important thing now was not to find those enemies.

"Yes, they are not as important as daddy. Let's go back first." Helen said bitterly, then followed Arcelia and walked in the direction of the ship.

At this moment, Aya, who had fainted in the corner of the forest, opened her purple eyes. After waking up, the first thing she did was to close her eyes to feel Ulysses' current condition.

"Fortunately, it seems that it was in time. The master's body has no major abnormalities now, and there are no other people nearby except Arcelia and Helen. Humph! In the Judgment of Abyss's autonomous attack mode, all the enemies should have been torn into pieces already. The Judgment of Abyss will never show any mercy." A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

But her smile didn't last long, because she thought of another terrible thing.

‘Lapis actually used the Ulysses' final weapon system. That weapon would consume the power of the soul that constitutes her body! Then does it mean that she… No, I have to get back to the ship right now. I hope it's still not too late.' Thinking of this, Aya floated quickly into the air and flew in the direction of the ship at lightning speed.

At this moment, in the control room of the Ulysses, the tiny figure of Lapis had almost completely disappeared into the air. Now she was left with a faint shadow, which was disappearing little by little under the shining of golden sunlight.

First it was her feet, then her lower body, and then her upper body. In just a few minutes, most of Lapis's young body disappeared into the air. All that was left was her peaceful smiling face and long flowing silver hair.

"Lapis!!" Aya finally arrived when her body was about to disappear with the wind.

"All-encompassing, all-powerful, all-present, fearless, omniscient, transcending all destinies, and defeating all reincarnations. In the name of demon king Astaroth, I summon the power of the first and final demon king! Fix the soul before my eyes! Soul Fixation!" Aya desperately rushed to the Ulysses control room and saw Lapis who was about to disappear completely, and did not hesitate to recite a spell.

Following Aya's spell, Lapis's figure, which was about to disappear completely, was surrounded by a cloud of black light. As time passed, the black light became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black crystal. There was a hint of silver luster in the middle of the black crystal, and the tiny figure of Lapis was faintly visible. Lapis contained in the crystal closed her golden eyes, the expression on her face was extremely peaceful, as if she was just sleeping.

"Whew! If I came one minute late, Lapis would completely disappear from the world. In that case, the master would be very sad. After all, he is a gentle and kind-hearted master. However, I also dislike his gentleness and kindness." Seeing Lapis turning into a crystal, Aya sighed in relief, fell from the air, and sat on the control platform. The magic just now had completely consumed her magic energy and physical strength. She didn't even have the strength to fly now.

‘But you did a great job. In this battle, you are the best apostle. For the master, you could even use all your soul power without hesitation. I am proud of you. Don't worry, I swear in the name of Lord demon king Astaroth, I will definitely revive you.' Aya picked up the black crystal that had fallen on the control platform, put it on her little face, and made a solemn vow in her heart.Monthly AccessTier 1: 17 Advance chapters Link
