MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 250 Ebony's Counterattack
While Flallo saluted to show his submission, William kept turning his eyes to the side of Nezemar, who was so excited that the corners of his mouth were almost pulled up.
It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with her previous behavior, after all, he will do it sooner or later to make Flaro and the entire Jade Province government surrender. Just according to her statement, isn't it true in these people's hearts that they are the eighth Holy Spirit who came into the world?
However, after feeling the solemn atmosphere around him, William sighed in his heart.
Forget it... If there is a misunderstanding, I will slowly resolve it in the future. Looking at the current atmosphere, it is not the time to explain.
On the other hand, he was a little worried that the executive officer of the Punishment Church, who was in a hurry, would give himself a passionate speech such as "Congratulations...".
Fortunately, I don't know if Nezemar noticed the glance that he turned away - although she seemed very excited at the moment, she planned to open her mouth several times as if she was going to say something, but in the end she gave it to herself. pressed down.
After completing this whole set of etiquette that symbolized surrender, William bent slightly and stretched out his hand to help Flaro up.
Also at this time, a voice mixed with anger and ridicule came from behind them.
"Hahahaha, promise? Is your promise worth a little bit?"
Ebony pointed at William with trembling all over.
At this moment, he clenched his back molars, and the hoarse voice was almost squeezed out of his own throat.
However, before William was about to answer, Flaro, who was beside him, spoke first:
"I know that you have been replacing the 'rotten root sap' used for execution with an alchemical potion used to fake suspended animation. I also know that you have sent those people to the depths of the world tree's roots to hide up, but do you know why I haven't exposed you?"
Her words were flat and calm, but it made the other party stunned.
If he had heard the tyrant mention this secret about him before today, he would have been horrified to pieces. However, at the moment, he didn't know how to respond to this question for a while.
"You already knew that?"
he asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Actually, preparing those alchemy potions is completely superfluous, because 'Rotten Root Sap' will only work on living people."
Flaro didn't answer the other party's question, but turned to talk about another matter.
But the meaning of her words was already obvious. Those who Ebony thought he had saved were all undead.
And this is exactly the same as what William said before, the forty-two people who were rescued by him are all undead driven by residual memories.
"By the way, the [Green Guard] you released is something I have been sending people to maintain. Continuously releasing that spell with the body of the undead will indeed cause a greater burden on the body."
Frallo continued. She looked straight at Ebony as if she was about to kill someone. Although there was no emotion in her tone, her words were full of provocation and sarcasm.
"No, it's not impossible...they've been me all these years..."
After hearing these words, Ebony looked back and forth at William and Flaro before him, and stepped back slightly involuntarily, with a tone so light that he felt helpless.
"You guys... united to deceive me, right?"
After saying these words, he stopped his involuntarily retreating steps.
"That's right, it must be so! You are all deceiving me together!"
At first, he seemed to be muttering to himself, and then he seemed to convince himself. In the end, there was no longer any hesitation in Ebony's voice. He clenched his fists sharply and looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes showing a firmness that was close to fanaticism.
is like the eyes of the gambler who put his arm on the table after the failure of the stud.
Seeing this, William turned to Flaro and asked:
"Can you explain? What the **** is going on here?"
The forty-two people he saw in the underground roots were indeed undead, although William didn't quite know why they were able to maintain that level of sanity.
But before, he always thought that those undead were the handwriting of the Duke of Sacred Tree. After all, he takes the initiative to control the most radical opposition forces in his own hands. On the one hand, it acts as a pressure relief valve for his high-pressure rule. On the other hand, it can bring the opponents together so that they can be eliminated in one fell swoop before they become uncontrollable—this can be said to be a Standard operations for dystopian rulers.
However, from their previous conversations, Flaro didn't seem to take the initiative to participate in converting those forest elves into undead, but only acquiesced to them to manage their own forces in the underground roots.
"Yes, Lord Holy Spirit, if you want to know the answer...they, including this Mr. Ebony, are the so-called 'wedges' laid by the rotten lady for the final ceremony."
Flaro replied with a slightly bowed head.
"Wedges? You mean they 'crossed' from another timeline to ours, like a needle in a lead?"
asked William.
He doesn't like this statement very much, because it's like saying that people in other archives may run into the current timeline and have two selves that can appear in this world at the same time.
Fortunately, Flaro shook his head.
"You know, it's impossible... The two timelines are not two worlds that exist in parallel, but two possibilities for one thing at the same time. So, he could be someone who was abandoned on an ebony branch. It can be a tribal warrior born in the ebony tribe; it can be a forest elf with a breath of life, or it can be an undead created by a lady of hunger and rot."
She said and turned to Ebony Road:
"So for you, for those poor people who are still brewing in the depths of their roots to overthrow me, it may just be after waking up one day, they changed the timeline and became what they are now. That timeline is almost identical, but in detail and in essence, it's a very different timeline."
After she finished speaking, she held the spell matchmaker in her hand, and calmly looked at the ebony who wanted to eat her alive at the moment.
"This is downright... a lie!"
Ebony gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence, but other than this sentence, he didn't seem to know what else to say to refute him.
William felt that the opponent would be able to act directly after being stimulated again, but since the opponent's combat power could not last three rounds in Flaro's hands, he did not smooth the game, but continued to ask Flaro:
"So you acquiesced to them to stay deep in the underground roots just to keep them from noticing?"
Flaro nodded and said:
"Once they realize that they are not in the same time line in the past, this cognitive conflict may cause confusion in the timeline, which in turn becomes a fuze for the rotten lady to trigger the replacement of the timeline. So once I found out If there are such people, they will 'actively' send them to the isolated place in the underground root system, so that they will not be aware of the violation."
"As for him, I recommend him as a listener of the Holy Tree Mother, on the one hand, to grasp the actions that the lady of hunger and rot may have. On the other hand, in this temple, he does not have many opportunities to go out and contact the outside world. things. He is more willing to immerse himself in that story, and is willing to continue to plan here that there is no chance to realize..."
Before she could finish her words, the tattoo of the beast spirit coiled around the ebony body instantly came to life.
A roar that seemed to make blood coagulate came out from the mouth of the beast spirit, and Ebony rushed towards Flora at a speed that did not match his burly figure.
His left fist was clenched like a cannonball straight into Flaro's face. Because the speed was too fast, the air was beaten with a sharp whistling sound. At the same time, a pale lion's head roared and appeared on his fist, its mane was like a burning flame, and its eyes were full of wild wildness. And the **** mouth that opened, seemed to be able to gnaw off her entire upper body before Ebony's punch sent Flaro's head flying.
This is the special innate power of the forest elves. By signing a contract with the great spirits of beasts, they can get the help of those wild souls.
"Boom!"
It was like a truck hitting a wall, and almost instantly, an ice crystal barrier blocked between Flaro and Ebony.
A punch with the power of the white lion beast slammed into the ice crystal wall, and the dense cracks were like lightning rapidly extending on the wall.
Ebony's fist smashed into the ice wall several inches deep - almost the entire fist was smashed into it.
The seventh-order frost spell [Wall of Ice Crystal] is enough to block pure physical defense spells that pass through the city-breaking giant crossbow.
Flaro stood on the other side of the protective wall, and the entire protective wall was punched by the opponent's extreme anger. A bulge - the funnel-shaped bulge was less than two centimeters away from the tip of her nose, and it continued to move around. There are new cracks extending, and it looks as if it will shatter like glass in the next instant.
"Very good, at least you still have anger."
Looking at the ice crystal wall that seemed to be broken at any time, Flaro stood there and said without blinking.
"And my anger can tear you to shreds!"
Ebony roared back, and then tried to pull out his right arm, intending to punch the wall through the white lion beast spirit.
In this regard, Flaro sighed slightly.
"Sometimes I really don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to explain the cruel truth to the client."
William on the side was not interested in her exclamation, but asked another question:
"But is ebony also undead? I didn't see any clues when I used [Dead Detection] before."
Regarding William's question, Flaro turned his spell agent slightly. The ice-blue magic circle at the bottom of the staff changed with her movements.
"It's normal not to see the clues... Anyway, he has to stay in the Holy Mother's Temple. It would be too bad if tourists from other provinces discover his true identity."
Ebony found that he couldn't pull out his right hand - the air around him cooled down rapidly, and the fine and regular ice crystals climbed up the wrist, forearm, elbow joint along his right fist...
He tried to break free, but it was in vain. Whenever he shattered and shook off an ice crystal that was imprisoning his joints, more ice crystals would start to spread on his body.
It was only ten seconds, and half of the opponent's body was completely imprisoned. Seeing this, Flaro tapped the spell matchmaker in his hand, and the ice crystal barrier blocking her and Ebony's face instantly shattered and dissipated.
She took two steps forward, stood in front of the other party, and then gently took off the antler crown from the other party's head, and then looked back at William and said:
"Lord William, what about now?"
William didn't even need to use [Necro Detection]. The moment the antler crown was taken off, he felt an extremely strong aura of death emanating from the opponent.
"Um…"
William nodded.
Flallo turned his head to look at Ebony, at this moment the opponent's entire face was frozen, so he couldn't make any complicated expressions at all. But his eyes full of anger showed his current mood.
"This is the reason why I will give you the antler crown... In addition, I believe you must have heard from the revelation given to you by the 'Holy Tree Mother', and heard him say many times that he asked you to take off the antler crown in front of outsiders. Right? Is your devotion to the 'big mother' only at this level, or is your desire for secular power in Cuiyu Province too strong?"
"After all, in your opinion, the person who should sit on the throne of Kurong should belong to you originally. In fact, in your timeline, maybe it's really like that... If you don't recognize me."
Flaro said so.
For Lady Hungry and Rot, she who received Neh's inheritance is undoubtedly the blind spot and variable when the two timelines are synchronized.
"You... a poisonous woman who plays with people's hearts..."
Wiggling his lips with difficulty, Ebony squeezed out such a sentence.
Although he said so, the anger that had been brewing before, and at this moment, it was like a balloon that had been punctured.
William also walked in front of Ebony. He also tapped the spell matchmaker in his hand, and the ice crystals on the opponent were instantly dissipated and invisible.
Ebony, who was released from the confinement, fell to his knees on the ground, panting heavily with his hands on the ground.
Seeing this, William frowned.
The other party is still trying to breathe that is not necessary for him, which proves that deep down in his heart, he still does not think that he is an undead.
William was going to help Ebony up, but the other party threw his hand away and said coldly:
"No matter what, you didn't keep your previous promise."
In response, William shrugged his shoulders, reached into his storage space and took out the "Judgment Three", a rough dagger that looked like an obsidian.
"Come on, let you come up with this thing to win my trust, and use my hand to get rid of the current Sacred Tree Duke, it should be a part of Camilla's plan."
William said, causing the dagger to float in mid-air.
"Unfortunately, He didn't know he was in Black Crowwang not long ago. The Widow of Iron Heart told me that the "Judgment Three" He created is now in the hands of the Tacoma Order."
said, William activated the light spell [Item Destruction], and with a flash of strong light, the dagger turned into a pool of debris floating in the air.
"Trial arming is not something that can be destroyed. So... it's your breach of contract first, isn't it?"
After doing all this, William didn't care about him anymore, but got up directly, looked around and said:
"Next, let's control those 'wedges' in the underground root system."
