Chapter 441 Previous life?
441 Previous life?
"Crazy! You are crazy!" Ikarys shouted. Because of a trash person whose appearance is similar to your friend, you became crazy like this."
"That's right." Arine grinned, her smile filled with contempt.
Ikarys took a deep breath, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Arine as if he were looking at a dying person: "Okay, I don't want to stop you either. I hope you are satisfied with your choice."
He felt that Arine's choice was also good. In his mind, he could not let Arine leave this place alive.
After all, she had seen through his facade. If she spreads this story... he won't be able to continue being the Holy Son.
He also didn't believe that she would keep his secret. For Ikarys, the best secret keeper is the dead.
That's right, only dead people can be silent.
However, he also felt a little worried in his heart. After all, he didn't know exactly what Arine's strength was. If both of them risked their lives to kill each other, even if he won, he would have to pay a huge price.
But… if Arine decides to stay in this place forever with Lathel, then that's a good outcome.
She will never tell any of Ikary's secrets, and of course, he does not need to risk his life to kill Arine.
That's why Ikarys easily ignored Arine and Dorothy... Ikarys despised them and considered them to be ants.
If he couldn't convince Dorothy, he felt that he could kill her easily.
Even though Dorothy is a genius, she is also an immature girl. Besides… Dorothy seems to have a lot of 'good things' with her.
If he kills her, he will be able to steal all her assets.
"Okay, you guys don't have to argue anymore." Lathel sighed and said: "We need to strengthen the Demon Lord's seal first, then you can do whatever you want."
Lathel shook his head and sighed. He didn't want to stay here forever. After reinforcing the seal, he will find a way to escape from this place.
Ikarys silently glanced at Lathel, then crossed his arms and stood still as if he didn't want to do anything anymore.
Lathel shook his head; he didn't pay attention to Ikarys and began to look around.
Suddenly, a blinding light appeared at the altar, startling everyone.
On the altar, countless magic circles appeared; they were interlaced on the altar. Lathel couldn't count how many magic formations there were; he only knew they were as numerous as sand.
Right at this moment, in the middle of the altar, a black vortex appeared. A puppet nearly two metres tall flew out of that black vortex.
Lathel frowned at the puppet. He knew what it was because he had met that puppet once.
That is the Demon Lord's puppet.
When Ikarys saw the puppet, he immediately felt fear; to him, it was as if the puppet emitted a cold, murderous aura along with the painful screams of countless people.
The double-winged puppet is made from the countless arms of other puppets; its face is void of any facial features. Its nails are also sharp, like swords.
"Congratulations on making it here, you foolish humans." The Demon Lord spoke up.
Ikarys frowned. He had never met the Demon Lord's puppet, but he could also guess that it was the Demon Lord.
"You are... the Demon Lord?" Ikarys asked.
"Yes, but also no." The Demon Lord said: "This is just a puppet I use to meet people, not my real body."
"However, to deal with people like you, this is enough."
Ikarys clasped his hands together, and a magic circle appeared. Then it shattered into countless light particles, and those light particles fused together, forming a small ball of light.
"Oh! That source of energy to strengthen my seal? It seems… you humans have created many interesting things." The Demon Lord spoke up.
Ikarys was startled when he heard that. He quickly injected magic into that ball of light.
However, he waited for a while, but still nothing happened.
"Hahahaha…" The Demon Lord laughed loudly: "Do you want me to wait a little longer, stupid human."
Ikarys: "??!!"
"What the hell is going on? Why…"
"Why doesn't it work, right?" The Demon Lord smiled and said: "Perhaps they told you that... just bringing it close to my seal will make it automatically activate, right?"
"It's a pity; this place is not the place where my seal is placed."
The Demon Lord waved its hand, and the light particle in Ikarys's hand escaped his control and flew towards the Demon Lord.
"What… you…" Ikarys was about to say something, but he suddenly remembered… that the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary person.
Standing before him was the Demon Lord, the one who had spread fear to the entire continent.
Even if he had a system, he was still just a person with two level 40 professions.
To put it more simply, he is just an ant, and the Demon Lord is a bloodthirsty monster. Just one breath of it can kill 1,000 or even 1,000,000 Ikarys.
"Very interesting… Humanity has evolved so much over so many years." The Demon Lord said, smiling.
"Okay, I'm also imprisoned by the rules of this place, so... I can give you a chance." The Demon Lord suddenly changed its tone.
Instead, there was a sigh and fatigue.
"One final challenge..." After the Demon Lord said that, immediately after, a black vortex appeared behind him, and at the same time, a yellow vortex also appeared behind everyone.
Two vortexes of space appeared together, behind the Demon Lord and behind everyone.
"I know Lathel's promise to the Eye of Puzzle, but for now, I can give you a chance." The Demon Lord said.
"Lathel… Now, you are the one to choose. If you choose to sacrifice the other three, you can reach my seal. After that, you can reinforce the seal and leave this place."
"Of course, you don't need to stay here forever; those three people will replace you."
"If you accept, then you will stay here forever. However, you will be immersed in a river of lava, suffering until someone agrees to replace you."
Ikarys was startled when he heard that: "No! Impossible, why him?"
"Hm?! Do you have any comments? The Demon Lord looked towards Ikarys.
Even though the puppet the Demon Lord used had no facial features, Ikarys could still feel that the Demon Lord was looking at him.
He trembled, but still tried to swallow a mouthful of saliva, then used all his courage to speak: "I... I don't agree."
"Why does such a trash person have the right to decide my life and everyone else's?"
"My life and those of those two girls have a hundred times, a thousand times more value than his. How can such an equal exchange be possible?
The Demon Lord felt strange and asked: "Ah! Why do you think he will choose to sacrifice you? Why don't you think he will choose to sacrifice himself?
"Huh!" Ikarys snorted in contempt: "If he accepts sacrificing himself, I will eat excrement."
"Hm?! It seems... you are very confident in your words."
"Of course!" Ikarys shouted: "No matter how brave a person is, when facing death, he becomes a coward."
"He was originally a trash person; how could he sacrifice himself for others? I think… you should leave that decision to me."
"I am the Holy Son, a genius standing on top of the Dorrack continent. To be more precise, I am the future of the continent."
"If you give me the right to decide, in the future, when I become an existence equal to God, I can release you."
"Even if you kill this entire continent and turn this entire continent into a sea of blood, I still won't stop you." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Wow! What a great deal." The Demon Lord smiled and said: "However... I still don't want to agree. If it were up to you to choose, you would choose to sacrifice everyone else, right?"
"Of course!" Ikarys confidently answered without feeling embarrassed: "My life is the noblest; my life has the greatest value."
The Demon Lord tilted his head to look at him: "So... what about the lives of other people?"
"Huh!" Ikarys snorted contemptuously and said: "Trash!"
"Whether it is the pope of the Lumiere Church or Empress Catheryne… they are all pawns for me to become a god."
The Demon Lord asked: "Are you this confident that you can become a god?"
"Hahahaha… of course. I am a child of destiny, one protected by the will of the world. Of course, I can become a god. It's just… I need time to develop." Ikarys laughed fiercely.
The Demon Lord rubbed its chin in thought. Ikarys now smiled confidently and glanced at Arine and Lathel with provocative eyes.
Arine didn't care about Ikarys; she walked up to Lathel, smiled, and said: "Lathel! If you have the right to decide later, sacrifice me and everyone else."
"Ah! Of course!" Lathel shrugged and said: "I'm very afraid of death. Of course I will make a choice that can help me live."
Arine wasn't angry when she heard that. On the contrary, she smiled, stood on her tiptoes, and caressed his face: "Be happy for me."
Hearing that, Lathel frowned: "Have I ever seen you before?"
Arine shook her head.
"So… why do you trust me?"
Arine smiled: "Maybe... in our previous lives, we were a very happy couple."
"Previous life?"
