Chapter 144: I Will Be Loyal to You

“I will be loyal to you.”

Such words echoed in the depths of the dense forest, their impact no less than that of the howling storm.

Sula was still a relatively innocent elf princess, but she could also see how reversed the situation was.

So she just blinked her emerald green pupils and looked at him.

Trying to understand.

On the other hand, Yekanda, who had said these words, was terrified.

His surname, Bulu, had also been one of the ten most noble surnames of the vampires.

A thousand years ago, a prince had died in battle, and just as the clan was about to seek revenge.

They had to wait until the Demon God was also defeated by the Hero, and the news that the human army had secured victory in that final battle came.

And because most of the Demon Lords who had come to provide support from the various demon domains had not yet led their armies.

Among the eight Demon Lords, only the former succubus Demon Lord of the western demon domain and the [Raging Wave Demon Lord] of the southwestern demon domain, who had been killed by the third generation Hero nine hundred years ago, had truly participated in that world-changing battle.

But the outcome for these two Demon Lords was not very good.

One had died under the Hero’s sword in the early stages of the war, and the other had been injured and died under the third generation Hero’s sword.

And now, the southwestern demon domain had long ceased to exist, becoming a part of the ancient Kingdom of Elan’s territory.

In this situation, when Her Majesty the Empress had chosen to lead the young princess and order the remaining vampires to leave.

The pure-blooded vampires of the Bulu clan had been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack the human race of the Western Continent.

But except for nine hundred years ago, when they had taken advantage of the third generation Hero going to the southwestern demon domain to fight the [Raging Wave Demon Lord].

They had once teamed up with the [Flame Judgment Demon Lord] of the southern demon domain and had fought their way into the Papal State, approaching Saint Louis once.

After that, until they had inherited the right to rule the western demon domain, there had been no more substantial action.

This made some of the proud vampires very depressed.

The human race, which had once been just a powerful race under the rule of the Demon God, but could not be considered a top-tier race to be compared with their vampire race, had established a home on the land they had once lived on.

And just one race had occupied more than half of the territory of the Western Continent.

This was unacceptable to them, and they always wanted to take back the territory occupied by the human race.

But after the vampire empress had obtained the right to the western demon domain, she had not mobilized the lords in the demon domain to launch an attack on the human race.

She had even completely avoided the topic.

The princess also had no such intention.

This made the vampires who had been looking forward to a counterattack after gaining the western demon domain very disappointed.

And had led to two vampire princes defecting to other Demon Lords.

But now, Yekanda saw hope in Hall.

This Holy Son, who knew everything and seemed to be able to see through the past and the future, controlled the pure power of the Demon God, and was even the princess’s contractor.

And after that contract was signed, the contracted person was almost equivalent to a new Demon God.

In that case, there was no reason not to take back everything they had once lost in the future.

Yekanda chose to be loyal to Hall, not only because it was a thousands-of-years-old tradition for the vampires to be loyal to the Demon God, but also because he had seen it.

Hall could even see through the actions and thoughts of a Demon Lord like Samigina.

He was a person who could do great things.

One who becomes a Demon God must be able to balance the kings.

What made him even more overjoyed was.

When he had expressed his impending loyalty, the other party’s level was clearly lower than his.

But he had not shown any surprise.

This was a king, a natural king.

To be so calm and composed about the loyalty of others, as if he was born to make others submit.

No wonder this young man could calmly say, “Two hours ago, your noble Prince Vier called me big brother.”

Perhaps, even Prince Vier had been conquered?

“I see. No wonder he can become the princess’s contractor even as a human. He is outstanding enough.”

Yekanda thought to himself.

And based on the three identity verifications that Hall had thrown out earlier, he had made some assumptions.

If he wanted to re-ascend the divine throne, he must make all races submit.

Contacting the high-level officials of those human forces and obtaining special honor and recognition was probably just for the sake of the great cause in the future.

Strong, really too strong.

Yekanda was completely convinced by Hall.

Such a large strategic goal would be difficult to execute.

And it had to be done under the nose of the church…

“Then, what does the divine throne need me to do next?”

Yekanda started to get to the point.

He already felt that the revival of the demon race was in sight.

“You and your deputy can go back and report to Samigina directly. Just say that you were intercepted by Prince Vier and the elf’s great priestess, and you were lucky to have escaped with the sacrifice of a few subordinates.”

Hall replied after a brief thought.

Although that Demon Lord was very high-pressure on his subordinates, Yekanda was also a vampire noble.

If he was killed or made into an undead puppet just because of one mission failure, it would only make the other pure-blooded nobles who had defected to him uneasy.

Out of consideration for his interests, Yekanda would not suffer a harsh punishment.

“Alright, I will obey the divine throne’s order.”

“However, you can also bring some useful information. Just say that the Child family’s head and Princess Sula have very similar personalities and attributes. You had already gotten her, but considering the possibility of making an enemy of the Child family, you had let her go on your own initiative. Please punish the throne.”

He thought for a moment and then said.

Of course, with such a wise decision, Samigina would not possibly punish Yekanda.

“Alright, I will obey the divine throne’s order.”

Yekanda replied again.

“However, regarding my existence, you are not to reveal it to the other vampires in the northwestern demon domain for the time being. Do you understand?”

Seeing Yekanda’s confusion, Hall continued, “I cannot confirm if all of you who have defected to Samigina are still loyal to the Demon God. And Samigina, this Demon Lord, probably has his own ambitions. At this moment, I have not yet completed the entire contract.”

“I understand, divine throne. When the divine throne is fully established, we will announce it to the continent with the full force of our clan and welcome the return of the Demon God.”

As a revanchist, Yekanda’s tone could not hide his excitement.

Since they had left Her Majesty the Empress with the two princes seven hundred years ago, they had been waiting for this day to come.

“Be low-key. The mission is secret, and the road is treacherous. You must be low-key. Do you understand?”

“Yes, divine throne.”

Since the days now had a purpose, after he had sorted out his feelings, he was no longer so anxious.

“By the way, does Samigina have any other actions against Cateline or the western demon domain? I know he must not be idle.”

Hall wanted to confirm again, just in case.

Rhys was dead, which had eliminated the threat in the early stages of Sophia’s route.

But it was hard to say if the plot change would activate other tricky existences.

“Reporting to the divine throne, Samigina does have some actions. My older brother is active in that area. Should I go and report the situation to my older brother immediately?”

“No hurry. It might alert the enemy. You can handle the situation as you see fit.”

Having said this, Hall did not give any more instructions.

According to the plot development, Christine would continue to travel between the various countries for the Saintess election.

She had to go to Cateline.

After she went, he would take care of the matters there.

However, thinking of the journey to the Kingdom of Cateline.

He had a faint sense of unease.

Because Sophia had asked him and Christine if they knew her sister Elizabeth when she had first come to Saint Louis.

“Sigh, so troublesome. Let’s just live one day at a time.”

At present, he was also pretending to be a prophet and the so-called Holy Son, and also the successor of the Demon God.

If he was exposed and hammered, and identified as a fake…

Hall did not think any more.

Why add to his troubles?

“William, have you solved it?”

“What about your side?”

“Of course I have! Let me suck blood, let me suck blood, let me suck blood!”

After Yekanda had declared his loyalty to Hall, the necromantic power in the crystal ball no longer supported the undead Daniel.

This made Daniel’s strength no longer able to reach his own upper limit after he was turned into an undead.

And Parousia, who had been filled with Hall’s blood, was at level eighty-eight.

She had pierced through Daniel with one sword strike in just a few moves.

Then she had hurriedly run over to Hall to take credit, and with a “give it to me quickly” look, she wanted to suck his blood.

As for Hall’s side, he had already instructed Yekanda.

Yekanda had left the location of Leticia’s coffin and had left with his deputy before Parousia had arrived.

“No, not now. I’ll let you suck it next time.”

“No, I… I’ve tried so hard, William. Let me suck blood, just one sip, I promise!”

“No. If you do it again, I’ll never let you suck it again.”

Facing Hall’s ruthless appearance, Parousia almost turned into a soft girl and cried.

But even if she really cried, it would not be easy to see in this heavy rain.

Hall really couldn’t give in on this point.

Because after so long, Prince Vier had probably come to the vicinity.

He would very likely be arrested on the spot.

Then he went into the depths of the forest and found Leticia, who was sleeping in the necromantic coffin.

“Fortunately, Leticia’s sanctity is not low. The necromantic aura in this coffin can only make her fall asleep and cannot harm her body.”

He picked up the rose-colored girl from within.

Sula, on the other hand, covered her small mouth with a look of surprise.

“So similar. This girl looks so much like her.”

“Don’t be too surprised, Princess Sula. She is the little princess of the human Child family. Although she is a great noble, her status is about the same as yours.”

“Oh… is that so? What’s her name? I’d like to get to know her, Mr. William.”

Sula couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

“Leticia.”

If the heroines could get along well and not be as stiff as Leticia and Ye Wangxue, Hall would be very happy to see it.

“Should I use the elven holy art to wake her up faster, Mr. William?”

Sula suggested.

“No need. This forest has been polluted by necromancy, and you can’t borrow the power of nature. Let’s talk about it when we get back to the ancient castle… wait… open!”

Hall, who was holding Leticia, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Parousia, on the other hand, immediately summoned her blood source sword and swung it at the few huge purple-gray necromantic orbs that were coming from the south.

The south was their rear.

There were enemies there…

Gray-purple necromantic patterns began to rapidly appear on the ground.

“Those necromancers should have died… Yekanda doesn’t seem to have lied to me…”

Fortunately, Leticia’s figure was relatively petite, and Hall could hold her with one hand.

His right hand once again drew the Rainbow Sky Sword.

Because it had not been long since the draw effect was triggered, this draw did not show a rainbow curtain.

Sula also drew her emerald green bow, and her pointed ears were using nature to sense those ominous auras.

Then she immediately aimed at one direction and shot a large number of magic arrows.

Samigina probably did not fully trust Yekanda, so he had left a backup plan.

Hall knew that at this moment, there was probably at least a level ninety necromancer in the dark of this dense forest.

His main job was probably to monitor in the dark and see if a vampire prince had come.

But now that Yekanda had defected to him, the other party did not immediately make a move.

And after Yekanda had left, when they had come to the core of the array in the dense forest, he had decided to continue to complete the mission given by Samigina.

“Sula, where is he?”

To deal with a mage, one had to get close.

Hall still had one chance to use the active effect of the Rainbow Sky Sword.

As long as he could get close and block the mage’s five senses, he could kill an enemy of a higher level.

“Mr. William, he is moving fast to the southeast. Pay attention to my arrows.”

Sula’s words made Hall feel that [Nature’s Sense] was really good.

As long as he was in a forest, it was better than [Super Perception].

But before he could move.

A few swift figures, dozens of times more frantic than corpses, appeared from the depths of the forest.

It was the few necromancers that Yekanda had killed, and Daniel.

“Damn it, how is he alive again?”

Parousia was stunned.

She couldn’t believe it.

“You hurry up and kill him again.”

Hall thought to himself that it was too reckless to let this vampire egg deal with the undead puppet.

If this kind of thing was not completely destroyed, other necromancers could use it again.

Parousia hurried forward to block.

But from the looks of her, it would be quite difficult to fight one-on-six.

Now Hall was in a dilemma.

If he helped Parousia, he would easily be worn down by the necromancer with the endless power from the necromantic array in the earth veins.

And even if he and Parousia fought two-on-six, they would still be at a disadvantage.

Unless he used the power of the music box.

But when he took out the magic communication scroll to contact Mandosha Flower, this scroll showed an unstable state.

Because the current environment had been dominated by necromancy.

The only thing he could use was the holy magic communication scroll that Christine had given him to call for external support.

At this distance, Christine could not liberate the Starfall Feather.

The game’s setting was that the wielder must be on the same battlefield as Christine.

Now they were thousands of miles apart.

“Letting this Parousia suck blood might not be enough to fight a one-on-six.”

Seeing Parousia in difficulty.

Hall first activated the active effect of the Rainbow Sky Sword and brought down an eight-colored curtain of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white.

The extra white curtain was the effect of the inlaid [Holy Erosion Stone].

The strong holy attribute made the few undead puppets not dare to rush into the curtain easily, and they circled outside.

It was temporarily able to delay for a moment.

“Sula, if I make you stronger, can you aim at that necromancer in advance with your bow and arrow?”

“Ah? My archery is not as good as my aunt’s… if it were my aunt, she might be able to aim directly at this distance with the help of [Nature’s Sense].”

“You have to believe in yourself. You can do it.”

Hall encouraged her seriously.

Now, besides letting Parousia suck him half to death and directly breaking through to a level far beyond an ordinary level ninety, the only way to break the situation was this.

Let Sula kill the other party.

Even with a level ninety, a mage’s movement speed was still relatively slow.

And the [Shadow of the Death Crow] that could instantly appear had long been obtained.

“But, Mr. William… I don’t have any actual combat experience.”

Sula also understood that the situation was critical.

If she didn’t act, the few of them would be in trouble.

Hall and Parousia had both come for her.

She couldn’t let Hall and Parousia become like Daniel, dominated by the necromancer.

“It’s fine, believe in yourself.”

Hall placed Leticia back in the necromantic wooden coffin by his feet.

It was safer in there.

Then he looked at Sula again, meeting her forest-green eyes with his own dark ones.

“Then does Princess Sula believe me?”

“Mm… Mr. William came for me. Of course I believe you…”

Sula’s little heart was pounding when Hall looked at her like this.

She had never been looked at so closely by a man of a similar age.

And Hall’s appearance was not bad.

The Demon God’s aura that Yekanda had shown just now had not completely faded, making him have a hint of coldness in his gentleness.

“Then next, it may be a bit presumptuous, but please don’t refuse.”

“Ah?”

Sula was stunned.

Looking at Hall’s serious face, her heart was full of apprehension for what was about to happen.

“Mr. William, please go ahead…”

She took a deep breath to ease the tension in her heart.

At this moment, the red curtain outside had faded.

Only the pure white curtain brought by the Holy Erosion Stone still remained.

There was not much time.

So Hall directly kissed Sula’s cherry-pink, delicate lips in front of Parousia.

“Mr. William… mm…”

The kiss was a bit too sudden, so Sula was not mentally prepared at all.

An elf’s kiss was supposed to be very memorable.

Although she didn’t resist Hall very much, but…

How to put it.

It was a very strange, very strange feeling.

However, Sula had no time to think about the touch of the kiss.

An even stranger feeling was traveling through her body.

Power was filling her, and the information from [Nature’s Sense] was becoming clearer.

She could even almost directly unfold [Nature’s Eye], which was a level higher than [Nature’s Sense], and use the flowers and trees to observe the environment further away.

And [Nature’s Eye] was a skill that Sula could only comprehend at level ninety.

In the game, the effect of [Nature’s Eye] was to show the surrounding map in a forest environment, with no more unexplored areas, and to lower the [Arrow Evasion Rate] of enemies within the range, and to increase her own [Arrow Hit Rate].

As long as she had this, and did not challenge enemies of too high a level, there would be no [miss], and at most she would be blocked by the enemy.

“William! Damn it! I’m fighting for my life here, and you still have the mood to kiss Sula! You old lecher!”

Parousia, for some reason, felt a little unbalanced.

But in reality, the holy curtain had not yet faded, and she could still rest for a moment.

But she just wanted to curse Hall now.

‘Damn it, damn it! How long are you going to kiss?’

“William… sir…”

The kiss ended after more than a minute.

Although it was only a little over a minute, Sula felt as long as if a century had passed.

Her heart was beating very fast, and she couldn’t help but savor the sweetness of the process just now.

Hall’s kiss was like that.

The side effect of the succubus.

Ye Wangxue had also felt that she wanted to kiss Hall again after she had kissed him.

But her self-control was relatively strong.

As for Sula, she wanted to control herself, but she had almost zero experience and almost zero knowledge.

If her brain didn’t savor the feeling just now, it would be a blank.

“How do you feel now, Princess Sula? Are you confident in aiming at that necromancer?”

Hall began to consciously guide her thoughts.

Actually, the degree of succubus was also related to the duration of the kiss.

It wasn’t that he wanted to take advantage of her.

If he didn’t kiss for a long time, Sula’s strength increase would not be enough, and he would be screwed.

“Mm… ah… please let me try…”

Sula once again took out her [Forest’s Whisper Bow].

This was an epic-grade bow that had inherited the name of the elf royal family.

It was forged from the essence of a ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree in the forest elf race, which had absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, in terms of strength, it was weaker than an epic-grade bow specially used for combat and killing.

But in the game, its attributes were still stronger than the Black Rose’s legendary-grade [Black Wind Bow].

Its passive effect was that the arrows it shot could absorb the natural power of the environment during flight, achieving the effect of the farther the distance, the faster the final speed, and the stronger the power.

The active was to cooperate with the passive to spread natural power in the surrounding environment, ensuring that the passive effect was effective in any situation.

At present, because it was in a forest, it was a bit of a chicken rib, but it could also be used to expel some of the necromantic aura that was occupying the forest.

At this moment, she drew the bowstring, and an emerald-green, holy, and natural aura began to gather and gradually condense into a beautiful and deadly arrow.

The holy curtain was also about to fade, and the undead puppets, led by Daniel, were蠢蠢欲動.

“Mr. William, I…”

Sula, with the help of the temporarily unfolded [Nature’s Eye], could already lock onto the necromancer in the dark.

The other party’s magic perception, after sensing that he had been locked on by [Nature’s Eye], was about to escape to the very edge where he could control the puppets.

This made her a little embarrassed.

To aim at a moving unit, and at this distance.

With her archery, could she really do it?

And at almost the same moment, someone came behind her and placed his large hand on her small hand.

Stabilizing the golden silk-like bowstring.

“Calm your mind and coordinate with my movements.”

Hall said so.

He was right behind Sula, teaching her how to draw the bow.

It shouldn’t be like this.

Although his archery in the game was also [S], but he…

Had he learned archery before?

He didn’t know why, but just by looking at Sula drawing the bow, he had a sense of déjà vu.

As if in the past, a similar person had also drawn a bow like this, using a similar bow, and doing the same action to demonstrate for him.

“Relax, believe in yourself.”

The roles were reversed.

It seemed that someone had also once been behind him, covering his hand with theirs, and speaking to him so gently.

“Mr. William…”

Sula just felt that because she was covered by Hall’s warm, large hand, her state of mind gradually calmed down.

“Next, believe in your feelings. Shoot the arrow. It’s fine if you fail this time. Since you have become our prey, the thread of fate has been connected, and you are destined to not be able to escape.”

Hall followed the nostalgic girl’s words in his mind.

And taught Sula all those techniques and courage.

“Alright. Destined to not be able to escape.”

She silently repeated Hall’s words.

The arrow was shot out after a moment, at a high speed, and traveled through the rainy forest like a bird, accelerating.

Hall did not check the result.

He believed that this blow from Sula would at least seriously injure him.

He just glanced sideways at Leticia in the necromantic coffin.

And was suddenly shocked when he met those rose-colored pupils.

‘When did she wake up?’
