Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

In the New Shadi capital, beneath the palace, ministers and soldiers stood on both sides, waiting slowly.

On the throne, the candlelight was extinguished, and a huge shadow enveloped Prince Peter's body. The people below felt that something was different about Prince Peter, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

"That's right, in order to resist the common enemy that may invade, the Sri Kingdom, another conqueror behind the Wesser Kingdom, I have decided to establish an alliance with the Goth Kingdom."

As Prince Peter's voice fell, the ministers below nodded in agreement. Obviously, this decision was in line with what most Shadi people thought.

The Goth Kingdom defeated the Wesser Kingdom, which avenged most of the Shadi people who had been harmed by the war.

This also meant that the support rate for the Goth Kingdom in the Shadi Kingdom was not low.

"Continue to recover the lost territories occupied by the Wesser Kingdom, and set up outposts on the border of the Sri Kingdom to monitor their every move..."

During Prince Peter's orders, the ministers began to frown slightly, thinking about the execution process.

Many generals frowned, and in Prince Peter's words, they began to think about the situation and future actions.

After the decree was issued, the ministers and generals began to leave in an orderly manner. Their steps were steady, and everyone understood that the Shadi Kingdom would soon usher in new changes, or rather... this would be a storm concerning life and death.

Watching the last person leave, Prince Peter also stood up and walked back to his room along the shadows.

But in the room, Prince Peter's eyes widened—

Because, in the room that should have been heavily guarded, there were several uninvited guests.

They were three envoys from the Sri Kingdom.

"Prince Peter, is your behavior today meant to be an enemy of our Sri Kingdom?!"

The three priests in gold and white robes stared at Prince Peter, without the slightest respect.

"You are allying with the Goth Kingdom in front of us. Are you looking down on us too much?"

"Or are you thinking that you have really mastered power? Thinking that you have really become the king?"

"Don't you know how many kings have been killed by us?"

The three Sri priests carried an uncontrollable rage in their words.

The surfaces of their eyeballs were covered with bright red blood streaks, like three evil spirits wanting to devour people!

"We will give you one last chance, take back your orders just now, and then be honest—do you understand?"

But in the shadows, Prince Peter did not show the expression of fear and kneeling for mercy that they had predicted. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head:

"Sorry, everyone, I may have to refuse."

"Do you want to die?!"

The Sri priest was stunned, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he asked again.

"Of course I don't want to, after all, I have just become a person. Before, I was just Prince Peter's shadow, but now, I have become him!"

"What?"

The Sri priests paused. They couldn't quite understand Prince Peter's words, but when they heard Prince Peter say "shadow," their eyes reflexively looked at Prince Peter's feet.

But they found that this "Prince Peter" had no shadow under his body!

"No, this person is strange, catch him first!"

The Sri priest's pupils shrank, and then, a scarlet light flashed in his eyes. They burst from their seats instantly!

Their hands became extremely sharp, grabbing towards the "Prince Peter" in front of them!

But at this moment, Prince Peter's body seemed to have lost its support, and he fell straight backward.

But at the moment of contact with the ground, it didn't seem like a collision of heavy objects, but instead merged into it without any tremor.

Just like... the shadow, sinking into the ground.

"What?!"

"Is this some kind of... magic?!"

The three Sri priests stopped when they saw this strange scene. At this moment, the candles in the entire room trembled violently and were all extinguished.

There were no windows in this room. At the moment when the last ray of light disappeared, the entire space was shrouded in darkness.

"What's going on? Is there a trap?"

"Did Prince Peter do it?! Did he exceed our control long ago?"

The three Sri priests did not stop and quickly rushed towards the closed door. At this moment, they were half-demonized, with two protruding horns growing on their foreheads, and their power was even higher.

Even ordinary metal doors could not stop their power.

They slammed into the door of the room—

"Boom!"

The door opened.

But outside the door was not a corridor, but endless darkness like mist!

And in this impact, the entire space also shattered at the same time.

At the moment when Prince Peter disappeared, this space had already fallen into the shadows.

"What... what is this place?"

"Who is pretending to be a ghost?"

The three Sri people shouted. Although they, as high-level members of the Holy Advent New Church of the Sri Kingdom, knew a lot about the mysteries of magic, hell, and heaven, they still felt fear when they were in such a situation.

"You appeared in the Shadi Kingdom, conspiring in the shadows, trying to control puppets... Now, you are asking who is pretending to be a ghost?"

At this time, a voice rang from across from them.

A piece of shadow began to condense into a human form, turning into Princess Marlene's appearance.

Princess Marlene looked at the three Sri people, looked at their demonized appearance, and her eyes revealed a clear hatred:

"You personally came to the Shadi Kingdom, bringing pain and death to our peace. Now, you are still not satisfied?

Are you devils?! Your Sri Kingdom already has so much land and money, and you still want to start a massacre. What... what do you want?"

Princess Marlene stared at the three Sri people and asked sharply. The three Sri people became a little frightened under the cover of the shadows, but soon, a strange red glow overflowed from their eyes again.

"I remember you, you are Princess Marlene of Shadi?"

The leading Sri man finally thought of something. He said slowly, "You are still alive? And these powers... It seems that some of the legends of your Shadi are also true."

"So it's you? Well, it doesn't matter who it is."

Another Sri man shook his head, his eyes revealing a clear sense of coercion, "Even if you know magic, it won't be of much use to us. You can't protect your country."

"How about this, since you have such power, our Sri Kingdom will give you a chance to trade—"

The third Sri man held his hand in the air, and a contract appeared out of thin air.

"Join us and conquer this world. I can leave a place for your country on the ultimate paradise of the end."

"So, what you want is to destroy this world?"

Princess Marlene heard something from their words, "But our Shadi Kingdom yearns for a peaceful life, not the inhuman slaughter like you demons!"

"Is that so..."

The Sri man nodded, put away the contract in his hand, and showed a matter-of-course expression, "Sure enough, it's a bit difficult to let you see our appearance like this first."

The next moment, the gold and white priest robes on the three Sri people suddenly turned black and red!

The priest robes behind them were torn apart, and huge black bat wings grew out—their speed broke through the boundaries of mortals in an instant and appeared in front of Princess Marlene!

Scarlet hell energy began to block Princess Marlene from three angles.

They had guessed long ago that Princess Marlene would not agree, but they tried to facilitate this siege!

"Since the decision just now was because of your appearance, then as long as we kill you, this 'princess' who shouldn't be alive, the Shadi Kingdom will no longer be an obstacle to the Sri Kingdom, right?"

The surrounding shadows wanted to stop the three demons from attacking, but they could not cause effective damage under the impact of the three demons' red energy.

"You are the demons in the ancient legends? In this case, your Sri Kingdom is also a country related to demons?"

Princess Marlene carefully looked at the physical characteristics of the three Sri people and speculated in her heart.

"You are indeed very powerful, but this is not hell, but the gap of shadows."

Before she finished speaking, her figure suddenly darkened, and in just a moment, she turned into an uncapturable shadow, passing through the claws of the three demonized priests.

"What?"

The three priests looked stunned. When they turned around to check again, they saw more shadows appearing in the surrounding shadows.

Those shadows were wearing the costumes of Shadi nationals. The ones in the front were some Shadi soldiers wearing armor.

"The war you started destroyed our Shadi's hometown. You demons, watch carefully—this is our revenge."

Princess Marlene's voice rang from the shadows.

At the same time, all the Shadi people turned into shadows like tides again, sweeping towards the priests and submerging them instantly.

The shadows tore and entangled with the scarlet light on the Sri people.

"You don't understand our power. Some shadow-like vengeful souls can't hurt us."

The three Sri people no longer had human forms at this time.

They completely turned into demons, with dense blood-colored runes appearing on their skin, tearing in the ocean of shadows.

But in the next moment, an ice-blue sword light flashed quickly in the black shadow—

Before the three Sri people could react, the originally thick blood-colored energy on their bodies was easily torn apart by the sword light like fragile paper.

After that, what was also shattered were their limbs.

"How about now?"

After the limbs of the three Sri people were torn apart, they finally couldn't make any resistance. The scarlet energy was also shattered under the Star Killer Sword.

"It's you?!"

At the last moment of being submerged by the shadows, they saw the figure behind the sword light.

A girl wearing a red cloak.

They finally realized the mistakes in their plan, but they could no longer make any resistance.

"Miss Marlene, can you check their shadows?"

"I'll try. I haven't seen such people, uh, demons, before."

As Marlene said, the shadows from all directions began to surge into the bodies of the three Sri people under her control. After that, she stretched out her hands and grabbed and pulled under the Sri people.

A black curtain was dragged into the air.

On it, some shadows of conspiracy appeared. Princess Marlene narrowed her eyes and wanted to zoom in to listen, but in the next moment, her pupils shrank instantly.

"No! In their shadows..."

The shadow pulled out from the Sri people began to quickly turn into a faint scarlet.

The scene on it also began to distort.

Finally, it turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Ugly incantations floated on the blood, and countless scarlet eyes suddenly looked over here—as if they had discovered Lake and Princess Marlene's peeping!

After that, blood-red flames emerged from the shadows out of thin air. In the flames, the shadow world began to shatter.

Candlelight re-illuminated the palace room. Lake and Poro stood on the ground, looking at the center of the room not far away.

The bodies of the three Sri people had been burned to ashes by the hellfire that burst out of their bodies.

"Sorry, I can't extract their shadows. They are no longer human. Their shadows, or rather souls, no longer belong to them."

On the other side, Princess Marlene's face was also a little dignified.

She turned her head and looked at Lake and Poro again, and said slowly:

"I finally understand why you defeated the Wesser Kingdom's Sky Fleet, but you are still so afraid of the Sri Kingdom—

If the high-level members of these Sri people are actually devils...

Such a crisis has far exceeded the war of mankind!"

...

Wesser Kingdom, underground palace.

Candles burned with blood-colored light, and an inverted cross flashed with blood-colored light behind the king.

In the stone hall, six strange altars were built in the darkness.

The surface of one of the altars was covered with reddish-brown blood, and white bones pieced together an arched, broken door.

A gaunt man put his ear to the ground, as if listening to something.

After a while, he got up and opened his eyes that had just been squinting.

A trace of red light flashed in his eyes.

"Seeker, what did you hear?"

The demonized king asked.

"In the Shadi Kingdom, the alliance may have failed. The three priests we sent were killed. In a very short period of time, I couldn't even hear the slightest sound."

The gaunt Seeker replied.

"Huh? Why? Did you hear who killed them?"

"Prince Peter allied with the Goth Kingdom. Prince Peter may have killed them, but perhaps there are other secrets."

The Seeker said in a hoarse voice, "But due to the death of the priests, the dissipation of hell energy, and the distance being too far, I can't hear the things that happened after that clearly.

As for the means used, it may be magic or something."

"Tsk, the Shadi Kingdom... is really troublesome. We should have killed them all at that time."

The demonized king frowned, "Forget it, in that case, we can only spend more time—let Marshal Giles advance.

Since those Shadi people want to die first, let's fulfill them!"

Yes.
