The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

"Huh! Huh!" Ulysses gasped. In order to defeat the dark priest who manipulated the killing alien, he drew too much power of the devil from the abyss of conviction. The feeling that the power that can destroy everything is boiling wildly in the body is not a pleasure. For him now, this kind of power is still too strong, so powerful that his body can hardly bear it.

He hadn't expected that the opponent would retreat without fighting him, and the power he had gathered was not vented at all. That kind of power to destroy everything, when there are no enemies, can only bring him infinite pain.

If it weren't for the blood that belonged to the demon king Astaroth flowing in his body, I am afraid that he himself would be swallowed by this all-destroying power. The power of the Demon King from another world is really not a power that should exist in this world.

One minute, two minutes... Ulysses, who was fully suppressing the power of the demon in his body, couldn't even move. The power of the demon who was about to lose control finally began to slowly calm down under his desperate efforts. At the very least, the power of the Demon King madly gushing out from the Abyss Condemnation has begun to diminish. According to this trend, after a period of time, the power of the demon in his body can naturally return to the abyss of conviction.

But just when he thought he could end all this smoothly, several familiar voices came from behind him.

"It doesn't matter, Ulysses! Was it backlashed by the power of the Demon Sword." This calm and slightly caring voice should be Arcelia.

"Dad!" This voice that expressed concern without hesitation should be his "daughter" Helen.

"Master, is your body okay?" This crystal-clear and transparent voice only belongs to the demon he saved not long ago-Sharon.

No, don't come here! Ulysses wanted to shout loudly. The power of the demon in his body is now at a delicate balance. As long as he is disturbed by a little external force, this fragile balance will definitely collapse.

However, he only had time to say "No!", and a pair of small hands already hugged him tightly. It was really a pair of small, slender hands, even if they tried to hold them higher, they could only reach his waist.

It's Helen! Ulysses quickly figured out who was holding him, and he would never allow himself to hurt her. Even though, that requires him to pay the price of his own injury.

"Abyss conviction!" With no other choice, Ulysses forcibly sent the abyss conviction back to the dark dimension space, and for the first time chose to take the initiative to keep the huge power of the demon in his body.

In all previous battles, he had never tried to do such a thing. Even when he loses control, as long as the battle is over, the power of the demon in his body will naturally return to the abyss of conviction. He himself, never tried to take the initiative to accept such a huge power of the demon king.

It was a natural instinct, and he vaguely realized that with his current body, it was impossible to forcibly accept the power of the devil in the abyss of conviction. At most, it can only absorb a small part, and then get familiar with the way of manipulating that power.

But now he has no choice. If he doesn't do this, maybe the power of the demon that is close to the explosion will hurt Helen and the others. Only by returning the source of the power of the Demon King-Abyss Conviction to the Dark Dimensional Space, can the explosion of that huge power of the Demon King be restrained.

However, in this case, it is necessary for him to fully accept the power of the demon with a strong destructive aura. This is not a joke. With his current body, it is an impossible task to absorb all the power of the demon king that can kill the alien in a single blow.

"I, it's okay." Trying to pretend that nothing unusual happened, Ulysses smiled and stroked Helen's head. If you just look at his face, probably no one would have thought that his body is undergoing the test of the power of the demon that destroys everything.

Even though he had the blood of Demon King Astaroth in his body, but he had only received the Book of the Demon King for a few months, how could he manipulate that terrifying power so easily. If it weren't for the power of the Abyss to suppress and control the demon king entering his body, he would not have the ability to use this power at all.

Seriously speaking, the power of the strongest demon king that can be destroyed by even a **** from a different space is something that shouldn't appear in this world at all. In just a few months, he, who was able to use the Abyssal Conviction for partial manipulation, actually far surpassed Aya's expectations. In this respect, he is worthy of the heir chosen by the Book of Demon Kings. Although strange, he does have a strong acceptance of that destructive power of the devil. Even when practicing the light of the fallen angel belonging to another demon king, the fallen angel Lucifer, he didn't encounter too many obstacles.

However, this does not mean that he now has the qualifications to completely manipulate the power of the demon king from a high-dimensional different world. If you don't convict through the abyss, but directly manipulate the power of the demon that enters the body, this kind of behavior that completely violates common sense, if Aya knows it, I am afraid it will be desperate to stop it.

However, for Ulysses now, none of this matters. Looking at Helen, who was holding him and was about to cry, he gently stroked her head, smiled, and comforted her.

"When did you come here, I didn't even notice it." Ulysses asked forcibly holding back the deep bone marrow pain in his body.

"Aya is very worried about you, so let us come here to protect you." Now that I have come to Ulysses' eyes, there is no point in keeping secrets, and Arseria simply admitted their purpose of coming here. .

"She is still the same, too worried, in fact, I can handle the opponent this time." After patted Helen on the shoulder gently, let her let go of her arms, Ulysses relaxed. To say.

"Indeed, you have become stronger." Arcelia nodded. Judging from tonight's performance, Ulysses, who relied on her own strength to liberate the Demon Sword Abyss and convicted, is already a powerful swordsman who can stand alone. Up.

Whether from the awareness of combat, the choice of moves, or the judgment of the enemy's actions, they all improved several levels when they first met. Even the weak point she pointed out before-too weak in close combat was made up for with a new treasure.

He is no longer the dark swordsman who only relied on the power of the Demon Sword Abyss to fight not long ago. From relying on the power of powerful treasures to actively manipulating treasures, this is actually a big hurdle. Only those who have crossed this hurdle can be called the 7th-level powerhouse in the true sense. Among those who inherit powerful treasures, many people cannot cross this invisible hurdle, and ultimately cannot become stronger.

The treasure is just a powerful weapon in the end. Even with a powerful treasure, the seventh-level powerhouse who cannot fully control it will often lose to the seventh-level powerhouse who rely on their own strength to make or strengthen the treasure. Even she herself had once been lost in the mighty power of the holy sword Xcalibana. Therefore, she understood very well what Ulysses's step represented.

"So, don't worry so much, I'm okay." Ulysses was a little pleased with Arseria's affirmation. Alzeria, who has always been strict, is not so easy to be sure of others.

Yes, it doesn't matter to him, he can make it through. No matter how painful and tired he is, he can survive it. He doesn't need others to take care of him, and he doesn't want others to see his fragile appearance.

As long as you work harder, it's just the power of the demon king, how can you lose to it. No matter how powerful it is, even if it can destroy everything, so what? He is the Astaroth's successor chosen by the Book of Demon Kings, how could he lose to this kind of thing.

Absolutely, absolutely can't lose! ! How can I lose to this kind of thing! Ulysses fought desperately against the pain in his body, and large drops of sweat began to fall on his forehead.

"Huh..." Looking at Ulysses who was still not moving and started to sweat, Arseria seemed to have noticed something. However, she didn't say anything, but gave orders to Helen and Sharon next to her:

"Helen, Sharon, look for the traces left by the dark priest around here. He seems to have paid attention to Ulysses, and he is likely to appear again."

"I see, anyone who dares to be an enemy of Dad..." Helen shook her fist, and a cold killing intent flashed through her silver eyes.

"Then I will take Helen to the place of his substitute." Sharon nodded and took Helen away.

After Helen and Sharon walked away, Arcelia walked to Ulysses's side and carefully held his shoulders.

"It's painful, did you overuse your power just now? It is definitely a very difficult thing to manipulate that magic sword, and you seem to be too reluctant."

"Arseria..." Ulysses smiled weakly while looking at Arseria's calm and steady green eyes.

Sure enough, he couldn't hide from her.

Something seemed to disappear from the body, and the will to support Ulysses's calm expression collapsed instantly. The body that was standing upright involuntarily softened, and the consciousness began to fade away slowly. He is really tired.

At the moment when Ulysses was about to fall, a pair of hands wearing steel gloves hugged him, and then gently supported him into his arms. In Ulysses' last gaze, it was Arcelia's slightly gentle face.
