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 9 Judge
Chapter 9 Judges
"die?"
How arrogant.
The white ringworm, whose head was still exposed outside the dark quagmire, made a sarcastic sound.
That's right, being completely controlled by this evil spell, it can only serve as a mermaid at the moment, and its fleshy body in this world will indeed be destroyed by this magic caster.
From a mortal point of view, it is indeed going to "die".
but…
"Okay hero, come on, come and try to kill me."
White Ringworm gave the magic caster a wild laugh.
"Kill me with your weapons, with your magic, with your wisdom, courage, will, or whatever."
Although it is still suffering from being bitten by thousands of hungry undead, it still cannot hide its happiness.
"Kill me like a fool who breaks the reflection in the mirror, kill me like a madman breaks the moon in the water. You are welcome, and in vain, tear up my shadow in this world. If you are not happy, kill me. It's okay to torture me before I die."
White ringworm said fiercely.
"And then I'll come back again, again and again, with hatred for you, with the experience of losing the last time. I have infinite time and countless opportunities, so what if you win this time? You can't keep winning, mortal."
"There is a story in the Moon Realm that is very widely circulated, and you must have heard of it."
After the other party finished speaking, Zhou Mu spoke slowly.
"A long, long time ago, there was the most cunning and arrogant liar in the world. He made a bold bet with the thirteen kings of nothingness in the moon realm, and won twelve games in a row. Every time he won a game , he asked the Void King to build a weapon that was enough to hurt himself."
Zhou Mu said, opening a secluded space fissure, reaching in and groping for something.
"But in the last bet he lost, and his soul was eventually divided among the Void Kings. This story is often used to warn mortals not to try to bet with demons, but I think the liar was a great warrior .Because he has left twelve weapons to the world that can hurt the essence of the king of nothingness."
Under the uneasy gaze of White Ringworm, he drew an unpretentious straight sword from the space rift.
It was a sword so ordinary that no one might pick it up even if it was dropped in the downtown area.
"Later, someone went all over the continent to collect these twelve weapons and gave them to his friends. He formed an organization to fight those monsters that can't be killed no matter how you kill them. As you may have heard, that organization is called the Thirteenth Tribunal, and those who hold those weapons are called…”
Zhou Mu said, and pointed the plain straight sword to the throat of the white ringworm.
"Judge."
Feeling the power contained in the straight sword that can kill him completely, it was the first time that the white ringworm felt a strange emotion.
Fear.
"Wait...wait a minute, I don't..."
Looking at the sword that was touching his throat, White Ringworm was terrified and planned to say something, but Zhou Mu ignored it and stabbed it in with a sword.
No flashy special effects and no deafening sounds.
The staggering demon died silently.
The corpse did not dissipate as black salt crystals, but was gradually engulfed and disappeared by the quagmire.
Die as simple and crisp as a mortal.
…
A swirling flame of flame rose from the bright spore cloud, but the cursed mist was burnt out within ten seconds.
【Purgatory Storm】
The eighth-order spell of the fire department.
If she had witnessed the release of this spell with her own eyes a few days ago, Liliana would have been screaming with excitement, but now she sees the eighth-level spell without any emotion except numbness.
Today, she has seen more 8th-level spells with her own eyes than in her entire life before.
The man who shattered her three views countless times today is standing on the devastated scorched earth, staring at the huge jet-black gem floating in the air.
"Come here, it's safe."
The other party's voice came, and Liliana walked over obediently. The air was filled with the stench of charred feathers, and she felt the lingering warmth of the previous flames with every step she took.
Liliana asked as she walked.
"What about that monster?"
"died."
The man answered in a hoarse voice, his eyes still resting on the large dark gem.
"Is David Orbis locked up here?"
"That's right, I still have some things to ask... cough cough cough, grass, cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly coughed violently.
Liliana watched nervously at the man who was suddenly out of breath, and waited for a while until he calmed down before asking carefully.
"Are you OK…"
"It's alright, just choked by the fog just now, I'll be fine later."
Is it just choking...
Liliana's mind came to the scene of those birds, beasts and insects being devoured from the inside by the mycelium.
If it wasn't for that person's sunbird pendant, I'm afraid she would have died in that terrifying fog.
Thinking that the other party's pendant was still hanging on her body, she quickly took it off and prepared to give it back to him, but the man just waved his hand and motioned for her to keep it for herself.
"How does this work? Such a precious thing..."
"There may be more things to ask you later, so this is the reward. And this thing is a fake imitating the enchantment of the Phoenix Pendant by myself, and it is not a precious thing."
Self-enchanted…
Liliana's mind was numb again because of the other party's words.
Zhou Mu ignored Liliana who was stunned behind him, took a few steps back, and raised his staff to release the effect of [Shadow Cage].
The floating huge jet-black gem turned into a shadow and dissipated, and the genius mage named David fell to the ground from mid-air.
His sense of time seemed to remain at the moment before he was imprisoned. As soon as he landed, he clenched the staff in his hand and pointed to Zhou Mu and Liliana not far away.
But he soon realized that the fight was over.
"Where is my contract monster?"
Probably failed to sense the Staggering Demon connected to his soul. After seeing that neither of them had any intention of attacking not far away, David asked directly.
"Since you can't sense it, of course you're dead."
Zhou Mu answered as a matter of course.
The monster in the moon realm will not die. Even if its body in the world is destroyed, it will just smash the reflection in the mirror and banish it back to the realm of the moon, and it will not harm the body of the monster in the slightest.
But at this moment, David was not in the mood to correct the other party's words.
"You beat it?"
The other side nodded.
With a clang clang, he threw the lead-colored staff to the ground.
"I surrender."
David said decisively.
"I thought you would struggle a bit."
"Being able to exile the Staggering Demon alone, I have no chance of winning."
Zhou Mu nodded, and a silver thread stretched out from the top of Blight Cold, tying the opponent tightly.
"So what am I going to do? To the church or..."
"You answer my question first."
Zhou Mu walked up to David and unfolded a parchment map towards him.
"This treasure map in the southern part of the Mourning Mountains was deliberately distributed by you through the black market, right?"
Liliana felt her heart tighten when she heard this question.
When they were still in the Dusk Fortress, the mysterious mage asked her in detail how she found the ruins.
After she told him how she had bought this treasure map from a mysterious street vendor in Nordland's underground black market and paid a lot of money, the man took it away from her. copies of the map.
So, this map, this ruin...
Was a trap from the start?
Is it all her fault? Did her two classmates and the adventurer team she hired all die because of her?
"Yes."
David replied.
"I distributed the map on the black market in Nordland to attract reckless adventurers or archaeological teams. Whether it is the communication ceremony of the rotten lady or the anchoring ceremony of the moon monster, it needs..."
Liliana fell into an ice cave.
"All need enough blood sacrifices, I know, you don't need to tell me, that's not what I'm asking about."
Zhou Mu bent down a little bit, so that his eyes were level with him.
"I paid special attention when I came here. Many places marked on this map are different from the actual ones. For example, the forests on the map have disappeared, the largest pass is blocked by landslides, and these The rivers have dried up."
Zhou Mu pointed to the locations he described on the map and said to him.
"Do you know why?"
Even though was a question, the other party's tone didn't seem to be asking him at all.
David shook his head.
"Simple, because this map is of the southern part of the Mourning Mountains a thousand years ago."
Something in the man's eyes made David feel the hairs stand on his back.
"Where did you get this map?"
