The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

Yakuya's choking sounds echoed in the breeze. 】

199: Devour (two-in-one)

【"..."

In a dim European-style building, Stellius, who was making final adjustments to a woman who looked very much like Sophia, suddenly stopped writing the magic circle with his hand. His golden pupils looked somewhere, as if Feeling something.

"What happened, Lord Stellius?"

Charybdis, who was reading on the side, turned his gaze to Stellius and felt that his master's mood was getting lower and lower.

"It's nothing, I just feel that we are the only rare species in the world now."

"Only two?"

Charybdis touched her head, and as always she did not understand the inscrutable words spoken by her master, but she did not care, as long as she obeyed the orders of the adults as always.

Stellius quickly cast his gaze into the distance again, and after calculating in his mind, he came up with the answer he wanted.

"That's right. Is this the ending you chose for the natural disaster? It's a beautiful ending, right?"

Shaking his head, Stellius returned to his work.

…

In another park in another place, Mio, who had sensed the danger in the fantasy world and escaped to the real world early, was silently watching the children playing in front of her.

She hugged her knees and thought about Liusu's last words to herself.

If she meets Shiori and gives her power, Shiori will no longer be able to interfere with the real world. The story she wants to write and the happy life she lives with her companions will become things that will never return.

Can I really deprive Shizhi of his future because of his own selfish desires?

For a child who is not yet mentally mature, such a problem is too heavy, causing Mio to fall into autism.

"Ah! It's Mio-chan!"

"?"

Mio's silent thoughts were interrupted by an energetic voice. Mio turned around and saw a blue-haired editor who looked not much older than her rushing towards her. His aura was like a student who had learned that the school cafeteria was open. .

Mio was so frightened that she just wanted to run away, but Yoshino's behavior in the next second made her stop abruptly.

"Crack!"

On the flat grass with nothing, Yoshino actually made a real-life flat fall while running with his left foot and right foot.

Seeing the miserable look of the other person burying his face in the ground, the kind-hearted Mio hesitated for a moment and decided to step forward and care about the other person.

"Are you OK……"

"Mio-chan! Are you okay? Did those bad Megido do anything to you? Are you hungry?..."

It was clear that her face was covered in dust and looked very miserable, but the first thing that Yoshino thought of was to care about Mio in front of her.

Although the behavior is very clumsy, the kindness in it is definitely not fake.

Seeing that the other person was such a silly but very gentle person, Mio smiled at the corner of his mouth, but at the same time, the bitterness in his heart continued to spread.

With so many outstanding friends, do I really want to deprive Shizhi of these things?

With this kind of thinking, after chatting with Yoshino for a few words, Mio seized the opportunity and left here. 】

Izuki: Not only Shiori, but also Mio is worried about this matter. It turns out that everyone is a good person.

Super high school level luck: I really hope everyone can have a happy ending in the end.

Leader of Hope: It’s okay. If it is a shining protagonist like Ms. Shiori, she will be able to overcome despair and reach a hopeful ending.

[Soon after, everyone returned to the North District base and began to exchange the information they had.

Everyone learned from Shiori's mouth that Stellius wanted to end the world; they also learned from Yoshino's mouth that Mio had not been caught by anyone yet, but was wandering in the real world; what's more, I learned the big news from Mana.

"Because of Onii-sama's death, the fantasy world that had been under management began to go berserk. Not only that, it will collapse soon. After all, the fantasy world exists because of Onii-sama's will. Without Onii-sama, it will It is equivalent to taking away the load-bearing walls and foundation of the house, and collapse is just a matter of time."

Mana hugged her chest and said solemnly.

"Without the fantasy world, would the power of the holy sword and the book disappear?"

Qi Zui asked doubtfully.

"It's not that simple. If the power just disappears, I won't be so nervous."

Mana shook her head.

"The fantasy world and the real world are like the front and back sides of paper. They do not interfere with each other but are interdependent at the same time. If you use a paper knife to cut the back side of the paper, the front side will suffer the same damage. In the same way, if the fantasy world If it is destroyed, the real world will be the same."

"So serious? What should we do?"

"There are two ways."

Mana raised two fingers.

"The first is the simplest. Let's find Mio and ask her to hand over her power to onee-sama. The main reason for the current situation is actually that onee-sama, the manager, has disappeared. If onee-sama takes over his position, then this problem will No longer exists.”

"Can't!"

Origami objected loudly.

"If Shizhi succeeds Liusu, she will disappear from the real world!"

"Yeah, that's not okay!"

Yoshino also jumped out to support Origami, and the other swordsmen also echoed.

"Don't worry, I know you won't agree. Isn't there a second option here?"

Saying that, Mana lowered a finger.

"The other way is to take back the book that contains Onii-sama's power from Stelius. Onii-sama has long expected that he will die, so he left a lot of things in that book. With backup and strength, as long as I can get the book back and put it back into the fantasy world, I should be able to stop this rampage."

"What are you waiting for!"

The impatient Nanami stood up and wanted to go out and grab Stellius and beat him, but Miku caught her in time.

"Wait, do you know where Stellius is?"

"Ah this..."

Just when Nanami showed an embarrassed expression, Origami spoke up.

"In the future I saw before, there were several places where I fought Stellius. I think I can start investigating from these places."

After taking the map and pen handed over by Sophia, Origami quickly and accurately circled several places on it.

With the target in mind, the swordsmen immediately split up and began investigating these places after the discussion.

The place Shizhi investigated was the Tiangong Bell Tower, a famous landmark building in Tiangong City, but when she arrived there, she saw an unexpected figure.

"Kurumi-chan?"

"Ah, Gui'an, Miss Shizhi."

Seeing the black-haired lady silently watching the bell tower, Shizhi felt a little surprised.

"Why is Kurumi-chan here? I remember you were busy rebuilding the South District, weren't you?"

Because most of the equipment in the southern base was destroyed by the Holy Lord of Truth when he went crazy, and temporarily lost its detection and communication functions with the whole world, and Shizhi and others deployed the barrier in time to prevent the spread of the fantasy world, so Allen and Kurumi probably don't know the current situation, and Sofia is also trying to contact Allen.

"Well, we don't stay at the Southern District base all the time. This time we are out to purchase some supplies. The two of us will purchase them separately, which will be more efficient."

Kuang San smiled shyly, and then showed a somewhat serious expression.

"As for the reason why I appear here, it's just an old habit. I have always tried to track down the stronghold of Megiddo in my free time. According to the research I did before, this is probably a stronghold of Megiddo. . But it seems that I missed everything and found nothing this time."

"That's right."

Shizhi later learned from Allen that Kurumi hated Megiddo because a friend of hers named Sayaka Sanda was killed by Megiddo in front of her, so she hated Megiddo. Out of hatred, he chose to help the Holy Lord of Truth.

Feeling sorry for the lady he had never met before, Shiori told Kurumi the current situation, causing the latter to frown.

"Such a thing actually happened. Stellius, the last member of Megiddo's three cadres, is indeed an unpleasant guy. I'm here to assist you in the investigation. By the way, Allen should be informed of this first. "

Kuang San took out the Gatling motorcycle mobile phone that comes standard with the Sword of Truth. When he made a call, he suddenly noticed that Shizhi's expression became very strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Kurumi-chan, did you hear anything?"

Her ears twitched slightly, Shizhi raised a finger in front of her lips to signal Kurumi to quiet down, and listened carefully to the subtle sound. The fire sword fire on her body that had not appeared for a long time was glowing slightly, enhancing the master's hearing.

"It's a cry. An unimaginable number of humans are mourning."

Looking directly below the clock tower, Shizhi's eyes lit up with a faint light, and unnatural distortions appeared in her vision.

"Draw the holy blade! Kill the blade king in one volume!"

Without thinking much, Shizhi quickly took out the Blade King and slashed in that direction. As Kuang San watched in shock, the space in front of him immediately became unnaturally deformed after being struck by the Blade King. The originally empty bell tower wall A black-green space door appeared on the surface.

"This is!?"

Kuang San looked at the door that suddenly appeared in shock. He had clearly used many methods to detect the stronghold here but could not find it. How did the other party find it?

However, this surprise was fleeting. Almost in the next moment, Kuang San's heart was filled with joy. Finding the stronghold meant that the last Megiddo cadre, Stellius, was here. As long as he could defeat the opponent, , my long-cherished wish can finally come true.

It is true that after knowing that her friend was actually framed by the Holy Lord of Truth, her hatred for Megiddo decreased a bit, but after all, Megiddo is an existence that endangers the balance of the world, and her long-cherished wish is not wrong.

And just as she was sighing, a burst of wolf smoke floated over and condensed into the appearance of a tall, silver-haired woman in front of the two of them.

It turned out that Allen, who was shopping nearby, noticed the power of the Blade King Sword, so he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

After the three people exchanged information, they immediately decided to go into the investigation together. After all, Shiori was very concerned about the sound that was still screaming in his ears.

The interior of the clock tower seems to be connected to another dimension, which is a building full of Western style.

After arriving at the front hall, the sight in front of them made the three of them feel horrified.

Books, a large number of books are placed in the bookshelves on the surrounding walls. The number of books at a glance is far more than a thousand, and it truly deserves the word "tens of thousands" to describe it.

What's even more frightening is that illusory human faces appear on every book. Each of them wears a mask of pain and murmurs mournful sounds. Even Kuang San and Allen, who do not have special sensory abilities, are... We all feel the pain of those people.

"There are actually so many..."

Looking blankly at these alternative driving books, Shizori Mitsuru thought that so many people had been turned into books without knowing it, and also thought of the desperate expressions of their families after learning that they were missing, and felt There was a pain in my heart. 】

Bookshelf Guardian: What a wicked collection. Such behavior is almost the same as that of the devil.

Red-haired Killer Princess: Even a demon would not be happy if he saw such an act. Stellius is such a guy beyond imagination.

Yaye: The prophecy clearly stated that collecting 19 copies is enough. Why did you collect so many? What on earth does this Stellius want to do?

After seeing such a cruel act, many viewers began to criticize Stellius verbally, but they did not expect that Stellius' next behavior would be far more than that.

["Welcome, swordsmen."

A young girl's voice sounded, and the three of them looked in the direction of the sound. Shizhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and they saw a girl with black hair and golden eyes standing there with "Sofia", and the girl looked even more like The adopted daughter of the Seven Sins, Ju Ya, looks exactly the same.

"You are indeed my hero. He found my hidden stronghold so quickly and entered the scene at such a coincidental time. We really have a good understanding of each other."

A very familiar male voice came. In front of the guardrail on the second floor, Stellius praised the swordsmen who found this place without hesitation. His attitude was just like a host who welcomes friends to visit.

And this enthusiasm made the swordsmen feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Stellius! Free these people!"

Facing Stellius, Shiori let out the most emotionally powerful roar in his life.

Stellius touched his chin and walked towards Charybdis step by step.

"That's right, let me think about it, right! How about this? Charybdis."

"As you command, Lord Stellius."

The little girl looked at the books on the wall, and the true face of the white Megiddo was revealed under the gaze of Shizhi and others. The latter immediately realized what the other party wanted to do, and immediately stepped forward to try to stop it.

Unfortunately it was too late.

"I'm gonna start now."

With a tone no different from that of an innocent child, Charybdis opened her iconic four-petal mouth. The huge suction force even prevented Kurumi, who had already taken out the Toki Koku Sword Kaishi, from having time to activate it. Without being able to save those books, she had already swallowed them all into her body.

"No!!!"

Shizhi let out a heart-rending cry, and Stellius looked at it all with a happy smile on his face.

"That's great. Your expression is really good, but you could be more lively, Charybdis."
