Chapter 3496: Promise, Farewell

*************************************************** ***************************************

The migration of the two-tailed family was solved so easily with the arrival of Aikarai. This is the charm of Aikarai and the unparalleled talent that only she can achieve.

It seemed that she was very happy to be relied on by me. After hearing my request, Aikalay's smile continued until she left to do the preparations.

"Then I have to leave for a while." Shuangtail pressed the brim of his hat, looking like a stray cat who wanted to embark on the journey again.

"Give me some time. I will come back after I have sorted out things in the clan. I believe that by then, your side should be almost ready."

"No problem, just feel free to go."

I know that it is not easy to gather more than 100,000 tribesmen and make everyone accept the migration. Even if Twin Tails is the demon lord and the leader, this cat is taking the route of conquering people with virtue. , does not rule violently like other demon lords. Of course, I believe it will not be so pedantic and will still use force when it is necessary.

I decided to give Twin Tails a ride, although I preferred to stay in the conference room with Lena.

"It seems that the four-wing realm is now open. Twin Tails, even if your strength is not as good as that of Mr. Gallen, it should not be much inferior. It shouldn't be difficult for you to be promoted to the four-wing."

Along the way, I accidentally mentioned this issue.

"Not to mention the Four-Wing Realm is like a cabbage. I don't need to tell you how many adventurers you humans have who are stuck in the Domain Realm and cannot be promoted to the World Power Realm."

"Of course I understand, but in the hell world, you can be considered a genius under the seven giants, otherwise you wouldn't be able to achieve what you have today. If even you can't break through, then I think counterattacking the hell world is probably not a dream. "

"Hmph, even if you compliment me, it won't do any good." Twin Tails pinched the cat's beard. The cat said this, but his expression became proud.

"Of course, I am confident that I can break through the four-wing realm. This is undoubtedly a matter, but it is not that easy. In my opinion, in the entire hell world, the only ones who can break through now are the Four Demon Kings. Everyone who has blocked this level It has been so long that this road has been filled with thorns, making people forget how to walk."

"Also." The two-tailed unhappy cat glanced at me: "I am helping you to fulfill my promise to old man Gallen and help you get rid of the threat of the Seven Giants. Don't forget that I am still a member of the hell world and I am fighting back against hell. Don’t mention the world in front of me. If you really do this by then, then we will be enemies.”

"I know, I'm just saying casually, do you think there are treasures in your hell world? What's the benefit of us counterattacking? If we occupy this place, we might as well go to the desert to open up wasteland." I rolled my eyes, this cat demon, serious , and really took the joke seriously.

As we walked, we came to Gallen’s grave.

I knew that this cat demon would definitely come before I left.

"Although I feel a little gloating about my misfortune, old man Galen still deserves to die unjustly." He put a few small flowers picked on the road in front of the tomb, and stared at the tombstone quietly, seeming to be saying to me, and also seeming to express his gratitude to it. said an old friend.

"Logically speaking, he should be you humans... no, he is the guy in the entire alliance who is most likely to break through to the four-wing realm. If there is no such thing as a chasm, if that chasm disappears early."

"It's a pity that he died early."

Shuangwei sighed, then fell silent and stood in awe.

I stood behind Shuangwei, with my head lowered, and a feeling of regret suddenly rose in my heart.

Does Old Man Galen have no other desire besides revenge? Not necessarily, I am afraid that breaking through the current realm, whether it is for better revenge or for other reasons, is also one of its wishes.

At the end of his life, I could feel his silent and ardent expectation. He entrusted his inheritance and wishes to his students without caring about whether they could do it or not. Passing over the burden is really a guy who goes too far.

Probably because he went too far, God punished him so that he could not live for a few more months to see the current golden age of silver.

Squatting in front of Gallon's tombstone, I twitched the corners of my mouth and tried to show a sarcastic smile.

Old man, do you feel relief in the world after death? Are you reunited with your lover and your family? Have you told them that you have wasted a thousand years and still failed to complete your useless act of revenge?

Maybe, you have already done these things, but after all, there is no perfect relief. You see, I have your hidden wish, the four-wing realm, but you don’t. Isn’t it very unwilling for a genius teacher to be surpassed by a stupid student? ? Then fight back from there and crawl out of the grave.

"Let's go, really, this time is really the last time I come here. Every time I come, I feel that I am getting old. The guys around me have left one by one. But I still want to live for another thousand years. I am in my prime. Cat."

He straightened his collar and smoothed out the wrinkles on his tuxedo meticulously. He played with his cane and turned away without any hesitation, waving to me with his back turned.

"Don't send it away. Just stay with your teacher here, so that he doesn't cry lonely down there."

You are the one who is crying in loneliness, right?

I silently complained to Shuangwei's back, then turned around and looked at the small yellow flowers swaying in front of the tombstone. They were really simple. After all, they were picked casually by the roadside, and the swaying shape of the flowers was like the flowing leg hair of old man Galen.

Under the flowers, several bright mushrooms grew.

No, no, no, it didn’t grow, it was planted.

Is Biansha here? During the battle with the Heroic Spirit Aggregation, she sent a wave of mushroom assists, and I haven't seen her since. For more than half a year, my little junior sister has been really elusive.

Does she know that old man Galen has belched his fart? I would have known it a long time ago, if the mushrooms that often appear in front of tombstones were not accidental.

As I was thinking about it, a gust of wind blew by, and when I opened my eyes again, there was a dark and petite figure in front of the originally empty tombstone.

"Beansa?" I shouted in surprise. Could it be that I was dreaming? What a coincidence, just when I was missing my cute little junior sister, she appeared.

I took a step forward, and just as I was about to step forward, there was a warm reunion between the long-lost senior brothers and sisters. However, the strange aura emanating from Beansa made my steps pause, as if I was frozen.

He turned around without enthusiasm and threw himself into my arms as usual, asking for hot meat buns, sweet honey, and honey meat buns. Without even responding to me, Beansa silently bent down and put a few mushrooms on the table. In front of the tombstone.

The biting cold wind that came from nowhere blew the black jumpsuit behind her, and a bit of an aura of a boss appeared out of thin air.

With a bit of solemnity, solemnity, and even depression, she placed the mushroom in front of the tombstone. This is Beansa that I have never seen before. Even if she occasionally puts on a serious expression, she is still cute and adorable. Never like this.

It seems that Galen's death was a real blow to her, and I couldn't help but think, if I were to die, would Biansha be so sad?

"Beansha, Beansha, it's me, senior brother."

I waited silently until Beansa finished his worship and stood up again, then I shouted a few more times.

"Senior brother..."

Turning his back to me, Beansa finally seemed to react and murmured, full of softness, hesitation, and helplessness. It made my heart feel sour. The strangeness and coldness that Beansa brought made me pause. , either fading away, or getting rid of it, so that I could finally continue to take steps forward, came behind Beansha, reached out and hugged her slender body.

"Beansa, I'm here. You and your senior brother are here. I will take good care of you in the future. Here are your favorite meat buns and honey. Let's go back together, okay?"

Biansha in his arms did not speak, but silently turned his face to one side, and caressed my chest coquettishly. It seemed that he accepted my suggestion, but for some reason, I felt uneasy. Rather than accepting it, Biansha The current behavior is more like nostalgia and farewell.

Biansha, you...

Before he could speak, there was a bang, and blue flames erupted from Beansa's body. He had no time to react, his chest felt tight, and his body was launched dozens of meters away.

"Biansha, you..."

"Don't call me Beansa!" I was interrupted by a cold and angry scolding. I saw Beansa with his back to me, his fists clenched, as if he had used all his strength to hold back these words.

However, this sentence that summoned all the strength and courage became the key to making Beansa determined.

"My name is not Biansha!" She slowly turned around and faced me, her body burning with blue flames. One of her eyes was covered by an eyepatch, and the other, originally dark pupil, now became It was a deep blue, burning purer than the flames on his body, as if it was a blue fire that could burn out hell.

Just being stared at by this pupil gave me a creepy feeling, like a frog being stared at by a snake. My body subconsciously activated defensive instincts. However, even the cospy bear’s unstoppable destructive power , in front of Beansha's pupils, in front of her cluster of faint blue flames, everything became jerky, and its operation was several points slower than before.

The powerful aura looming on Beansa's body made him, already a four-winged strongman, feel powerless and desperate, just like when he faced Andariel who suddenly appeared when he was recovering the Holy See Mountain.

There is no need to fight such an enemy, there is no way you can win!

Ah, it turns out that this is Beansa's true strength. Even if he has broken through, there is still a huge gap.

However, now is not the time to think about this. If I don't do something, Beansha will really leave me, and I will lose my cute little junior sister forever.

Under the pressure of Beansa's strong momentum, I stood up, step by step, facing her piercing gaze and piercing flames, and walked over without fear.

Beansha was also unmoved. She was usually a cute and stupid little junior sister, but once she made up her mind, she would do it to the end regardless. She was such a stubborn, stupid girl.

"Remember, humans, we are destined to kill you all in the future and engrave the word fear deep in your souls. This is me, my true identity, Azmodan, one of the Four Demon Kings, and your enemy. He is the culprit who has plunged you into thousands of years of war and suffering!"

My steps paused slightly, but only for less than a hundredth of a second. I continued to take steps towards Beansa.

"Speaking of this, are you still stubborn? It's really stupid. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't understand the current situation."

The coldness that was originally only shown to others, now finally opened up to me, with cold and piercing eyes and words, I finally understood why Vilas and the others said that Beansa was a bit scary.

She is obviously such a cute, innocent and cute little junior sister.

Recalling Beansa's stupidity, I raised my head, and when I was about to reveal my firm gaze, I saw Beansa raising her left hand, her delicate and small palm facing me.

There was no temperature, no sound, and blue flames that should not exist in this world spurted out from the palm of his hand, drowning him in an instant.

In the flames, I opened my mouth wide, and every muscle and nerve in my body was twitching and torn. My strong mental power was ruthlessly knocked to pieces, and my soul was undergoing indescribable torture and judgment.

All the tortures in the world combined may not be able to compare with this kind of power.

It turns out... this is Beansa's power of original sin... is this the essence of the power of original sin...?

I understood, but I couldn't resist at all. As the fire torture ended, my body fell to the ground, unable to move even a finger.

"Do you understand? Stupid humans, we...are the enemy."

Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, Beansha's footsteps were approaching, he came to the front, left these words, and then left again.

I don't know where the strength came from. I stretched out my trembling hand and grabbed a corner of Beansa's cloak. It seemed as if the cloak owner's heart was wrapped around my heart. The footsteps stopped.

Holding on to the only hem of clothes, I stood up little by little, and held the trembling Beansa in my arms again.

"I won't let go. Whether you are Biansha or still in Azmodan, you are still my junior sister, so I won't let go."

There was a long, long silence, until the arms folded on Beansa's chest felt the dripping water droplets falling on them, soaking the large area instantly.

Turning Beansa over to face me, I realized that the originally cold little junior sister had lost her disguise, and her face was covered with tears.

"Don't be like this... Beansha... Beansha finally made up his mind..." Beansha wiped away his tears vigorously, shed his disguise, and choked with sobs, sobbing loudly.

"The teacher is dead, what should Beansa do?"

"Beansha is very sad... Beansha already... doesn't want to be so sad anymore... so... so don't be like this... Beansha can't... can't abandon his sister... can't be with his senior brother... and his senior brother... Together... Although I really want to... I really want to... But this kind of naive thought... I can't continue... otherwise... otherwise... I will be like the teacher again... Beansa has... …I don’t want to be so sad anymore…so…so…”

I cried intermittently and said words that were difficult for others to understand, but I understood them all.

"Really...Is there no other way? I don't ask Beansa to betray them, even if you stay neutral..." My heart ached, and I held Beansa in my arms again, head-on.

"There's no way...there's really no way...Senior brother is Beansha's senior brother...and everyone...is also Beansha's elder sister and younger sister...so...so there's no way...and...and...this is the mission... Beansha doesn't understand either...I don't know why...but Beansha tells Beansha this in his heart..."

"so……"

After desperately wiping away his tears, Beansa broke away from his arms and took a few steps back. His tear-filled eyes almost looked like pleading.

"So... so don't be so nice to Beansha, otherwise... otherwise... Beansha... really don't know what to do... really... really... wuwuwu~~~ "

Looking at Biansha, who was crying loudly and crying like a child, I suddenly understood.

I felt her determination and understood what I should do.

If I can force Beansa into my camp, of course I will do so, even if it makes Beansa sad, I will just make up for it in the future. After all, I am not the protagonist in the gal. Even if I am the enemy of the whole world, even if the whole world dies, I still want to make my junior sister happy. I swear this in my heart in such a selfish and ugly way.

But, in fact, Beansa will not betray her sisters, the other three demon kings. I not only felt it from her words, but also recalled her past actions. Not to mention other demon kings, she is so How could the sister who loved her so much betray her?

Even remaining neutral is impossible.

Besides, there is also the weird mission she just mentioned that even she herself doesn’t understand.

Totally useless.

In this case, I can no longer embarrass Beansha. This is my mission and responsibility as a senior brother, as Beansha's last-minute senior brother.

The old man under the tombstone probably scolded me the same way.

so……

I stretched out my hand and touched Beansa's head. The smooth black ponytail has now turned into a flaming blue, but the feel has not changed.

The other hand stretched out towards her, making a hook with the little finger.

"Do you still remember the agreement?"

Biansha hesitated and nodded.

"Then it's agreed." I touched Beansa's head more gently and said with a smile, "I know you don't like killing."

Thinking of Beansa's nickname of Demon King Zero, I wonder if Beansa would attack him with a knife if he said it outright.

"Go back to your sisters. From now on, we are enemies."

Biansha raised his head in shock and looked at me.

"So, this is an agreement between enemy and enemy. The grudges between us will end with the battle between us. Whether you kill me or I kill you, there should be no regrets or regrets. Complain, before that, don’t hurt innocent people, okay?”

After looking at me blankly for a long time, Beansa tilted his head: "Is this...an invitation to a duel?"

"You can think of it like this." I tilted my head and thought about it, and it seemed to be true.

"Okay, I promise, senior brother." Beansha still had an expression that said she couldn't let go, but having no better way, she still stretched out her little finger and hooked with me.

"Beansa... no, it's me, Azmodan. Remember this sentence. Senior brother and I... you and I are enemies. There will definitely be a battle in the future. It's better for you to die at the hands of others than to die in the hands of others." It’s settled in my hands, Azmodan.”

Hmm, he nodded. My stupid little junior sister seems to have understood, but why must I lose?

As a result, my mind was seen through again, this time it was actually Beansa!

Under the setting sun, the blue twin ponytails burning with flames and the black jumpsuit fluttered.

He stood on his tiptoes, pressed his hands on my shoulders and reached up. There was no sweetness at all, only a cold, slightly salty, bitter, farewell kiss falling on his lips.

"Because, you are still too weak now. Not to mention me, Azmodan, even my sisters and the others are no match at all..."
