The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

There was darkness in front of Ulysses, with nothing to see or touch, as if sinking in the deepest seabed.

Even if you stretch out your hand, you can't find warmth. Even if you try to open your eyes, you can't see the light. In front of Ulysses, there is only darkness, endless darkness.

Where does this darkness come from? Ulysses looked around him blankly, there was no light, as if all the light had been far away from him.

Then he understood that this darkness is him, the darkness that belongs to him. Since inheriting the blood of Demon King Astaroth, they have been hidden in his body. Gradually awakened in battle after battle, until it became a substance by his side like now.

They are him and he is them too, only now I feel this so clearly.

Compared with the power that does not belong to him in the Abyss Condemnation, this is his own darkness, the darkness that has been integrated with his body.

It doesn't belong to this world, it doesn't belong to the laws here, but it's true in his body, waiting for this moment to come. It was in the deepest part of his body, just for this day and this moment.

It looked at him coldly, as if waiting for his decision.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ulysses held his hands, he couldn't adapt to the eternal darkness. Even if you have infinite power, what is the use of being swallowed by the darkness? This darkness is not what he wants.

As Ulysses' emotions fluctuated strongly, the darkness around him began to deform.

Ulysses, who was furious and uncontrollable, was completely plunged into this frenzy. The darkness also twisted following his will, turning into a liquid that constantly tumbling like hot magma.

The ground eroded by these liquids showed an unnatural gray-black color. It instantly lost all its vitality and became a place of complete death.

Centered on the location of Ulysses, this land full of death and destruction is still expanding. There is no power to summon the abyss of conviction, this is the power that Ulysses leaked out of control. Even a little bit is enough to kill the earth and make the world tremble.

"No! No!" Ulysses watched all this happen, but couldn't control it. The darkness leaking from his body is polluting the earth and devouring the energy of this world.

Ulysses, who had grown too quickly and had no sufficient foundation to master his essential power, finally had serious consequences on the spiritual level.

This is probably a serious consequence that Aya had never imagined. Ulysses' progress in the awakening of the Demon King's power was completely beyond her imagination. The sudden breakthrough of boundaries at this time is not the right time, and it can even be said to be a disaster.

...

"..." At the edge of the forest, about one kilometer away from where Ulysses was, a girl in a black and white shirt was sleeping comfortably on a big tree. Beside her, some small animals were standing curiously less than one meter away from her, watching this uninvited guest who had been here since last night.

The morning sun fell from the sky and shone on the girl's lazy face. Even the snowflakes that fell occasionally just now could not disturb her quiet sleep.

She opened her eyes slowly until the panic and uncontrollable darkness came from the other side of the forest and scared away all the animals around her.

It was a pair of beautiful ruby-like eyes, set against the two strands of red hair hanging from the front of the forehead, which looked particularly moving.

Noting the panicked little animal and the sinister atmosphere in the air, she seemed to understand something and gently jumped off the tree.

"Don't worry... it will be okay..." After comforting the little animals who were obviously in extreme panic, the girl carried her red halberd and walked towards the origin of all darkness, where the person she needs to guard is located.

...

"G...cough...Stop..." Ulysses hissed in pain. However, the energy far beyond his control limit was not obedient at all. It not only exploded in his body, but also quickly rushed out of his body, starting to destroy everything around him.

Everything began to corrode and decay. It seems that I have felt the crisis happening here. From the big tree that supports the entire branch school, there are more light spots than when the sky was just repaired, and it seems that I want to repair Ulysses’ damage. The earth dropped.

But it was useless. These little guys with incredible power were completely swallowed by the darkness around Ulysses before they could get close to Ulysses. The power that can repair the sky, when faced with the corrosive power of all things, there is no power to fight back at all. This is not a contest on a level at all.

It seems to realize that this approach is completely dying, and the light spots with incredible energy floating from the big tree no longer try to get close to Ulysses. Instead, he took the initiative to enclose the huge area around Ulysses, forming a huge ball of light, and doing his utmost to alleviate the negative effects of Ulysses' terrifying dark power.

After the ball of light formed, Ulysses and the forest area he was in were completely isolated from the outside world, and no one could enter anymore.

No, except for one person, except for the one who has been silently following Ulysses, who doesn't care what he does, but is by his side for a certain responsibility.

"I want to be with you all the time, never leave. Look at you with my eyes, no matter where you are, I must be by your side."

"Regardless of whether you are good or bad, whether the life you want to live next is happiness or poverty, hardship or peace, I must be with you and live it together."

"So, please be enlightened."

This is what she said to Ulysses. Therefore, at this time, she was the closest person to Ulysses and the only person who came to him.

Bright red eyes, two strands of red hair fluttering in the wind, even if the world is destroyed, the calm eyes will not change. She carried the crimson halberd she loves and came to Ulysses in front of Ulysses, who was plunged into devastating darkness.

"Relu..." Ulysses gasped in pain. More darkness came out of his body uncontrollably, and it seemed that he only needed him to corrode the entire world.

"Do you...very hurt?" The huge dark aura didn't affect Leilu, just like when facing the dark holy grail that is said to gather all the evils of the world.

She has nothing to be contaminated, or the feeling of contaminating it has no meaning to her.

Death, destruction, devouring, everything that would make people terrified, did not feel terrible at all to her. In other words, since she was born, she has never had the emotion of "fear".

This is the born murderer, the red ghost on the battlefield that makes the enemy fearful-Leilu.

"Quickly go away... Relu... it's dangerous..." Ulysses could feel it. As Leilu approached, the feeling of rage in his body became more and more obvious.

What you want to destroy, what you want to kill, to vent your own anger, your own power. This is the darkness hidden in his heart, the sequelae of being killed when he is weak. When faced with Lei Lu who was closer to the essence of killing than the murderer at the beginning, this feeling grew crazily.

"You... want to kill me?" Relu felt Ulysses' emotions easily. But facing Ulysses who wanted to kill herself, she didn't look strange at all, as if it were a matter of course.

"No! That's not the case!" Of course Ulysses couldn't possibly want to kill Leilu. It was just a manifestation of emotional confusion. He even felt that he was becoming more and more terrifying.

It was a feeling of not seeing everything in front of me, only the desire to kill and destroy.

"Then, I can kill you too." Leilu's tone looked like a joke, and her lazy expression was not serious, as if she was just saying ‘I want to eat an apple for you’.

But the exact opposite of that lazy tone was the trajectory of the halberd in her hand.

The bright red flash locked Ulysses's neck tightly, ripped the darkness around him, and delivered a merciless fatal blow to him.

There is no hesitation, no confusion, this is a perfect blow. Ulysses didn't even have time to react, the sharp blade with a howling sound had already reached his neck.

Time became slow, and Ulysses seemed to have returned to the night that changed his fate, the night that made him die once.

By the way, it was like this that day. This sharp whistling sound, this sound tearing away all his defenses, and this kind of inability to breathe, the heart beating like crazy.

A lot of blood flows out of the body. The world is distorting, the body is getting cold, the warm feeling gradually disappears from the fingers, and the consciousness gradually starts to fade, until the eyes are completely dark.

That is death, the end of everything, the eternal dark world.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The powerful dark power gathered together and blasted on the halberd that Leilu had cut to the side of his neck.

A wave of darkness, like a volcanic eruption, shook away the dangerous halberd. But before that, the cold halberd had left terrible scars on Ulysses' body.

Golden blood slowly flowed from the wound, and a cold feeling swept Ulysses's body.

He had never expected Relu to kill himself, and he didn't even have any mental preparation at all. And Relu's attack had no sign of the slightest sign, and even the ‘fighting intuition’ ability she got from Alzeria was completely ineffective.
