Chapter 904: Chapter 771: Lost, New Life
“Let’s go, leave this place!”
Suddenly, Heavenly Consort’s voice woke the seven maidservants from their stupor, and they realized that she had flown above them without them noticing. With a pale face, she spoke to them.
The seven maidservants dared not delay and hurriedly rode the Seven-Colored Luan, surrounding and protecting the soul-damaged young lady, flying away in the direction of Qi City.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” Fang Wu asked with concern.
The Crowned Phoenix King had only suffered some Demon Flame burns, and her combat power was not affected. However, Heavenly Consort seemed to be severely injured, her lips turning pale!
Heavenly Consort bit her lip, her eyes full of anger and humiliation, but she had to suppress the rage building inside her.
Heavenly Consort’s Crowned Phoenix King might not necessarily lose to the Silver Demon, but she had previously been severely injured by him and then suddenly burnt by the Soul Demon Flames. As a Soul Pet Master, she had a hard time supporting it. If they continued to fight, her own soul would definitely suffer irreparable damage.
The Silver Demon’s strength far exceeded Heavenly Consort’s expectations. Because of her recklessness, her Crowned Phoenix King was now at a slight disadvantage. If they continued to fight, it would be even more disadvantageous.
Although Heavenly Consort was full of resentment, she did not act rashly. To deal with this Dominator Level Demon Man, she had to plan carefully!
“I’m fine. After arriving in Qi City, immediately send a message to the Soul Covenant and have Xiong come to assist!” Heavenly Consort said.
After speaking, Heavenly Consort sat on the Crowned Phoenix King and closed her eyes to recover, entering a state of meditation.
It was the first time the seven maidens encountered such a situation. They nervously looked back, fearing that the group of powerful demons would pursue them.
Fortunately, the demons did not chase them, allowing the girls to breathe a sigh of relief. With lingering fears, they speculated about the origins of these demons.
…
…
“Hie~~~~~~~~~~~”
The Nightmare Demon Ruler let out a mocking laugh at the fleeing human Female Soul Pet trainers. He intentionally added a mental effect to this sound, causing it to enter the ears of the maidens and Heavenly Consort. The faces of the maidens became ugly, losing their previous air of arrogance and pride. Heavenly Consort was even more enraged and unable to calm down, her chest heaving. It wasn’t until they flew far away and could no longer hear the harsh, sharp laughter that she could finally begin her quiet recovery.
“They might bring reinforcements, we need to leave here,” Little Beauty Ning Man’er urged anxiously.
No matter what, this area was still human territory. Even if they were powerful, they would be surrounded by a large group of human strong ones if they were discovered. The demons who came from the depths of the Forbidden Domain would also be buried here.
“Why did those women want to capture you?” the King approached the little girl, questioning her.
“I don’t know, I don’t know them,” Ning Man’er shook her head, her beautiful eyes clear and pure, not seeming to be lying.
“Throw her down.” The King withdrew his gaze, speaking indifferently.
“Ah? Don’t throw me down, Brother Half-Demon, please, many people want to capture me…” Ning Man’er panicked and begged.
“Half-demon? What’s a half-demon?” The King looked back at the little girl again, asking with confusion.
“Half-demon refers to the fusion of human and demon souls, just like what happened to those humans and your White Nightmare Demons. It’s a half-human, half-pet existence in a shared body. Brother Half-Demon, don’t you know your own race?” Ning Man’er replied.
Based on her observations, Ning Man’er initially thought the King was a Dominator Level White Nightmare Demon. After careful observation, she concluded that he was not a White Nightmare Demon, but a very rare half-demon in this world!
Ning Man’er’s talent didn’t work on her own kind, meaning it didn’t work on humans. If the King were a White Nightmare Demon, he would definitely be as friendly to her as the other White Nightmare Demons. The indifference he showed towards her meant that he had human blood running through him. Ning Man’er concluded that he was a half-demon, explaining why he could speak the human language.
However, it was clear that this half-demon with a bewildered look in his eyes was dominated by his Demon side…
After Ning Man’er’s explanation, the flame deep within the Silver Demon’s pupils suddenly flickered.
“I used to be human?” The King slowly raised his hand, staring at it.
He once stood by the lakeside, staring at his reflection for an entire day. The waves of confusion and illusion after each numb killing made him think over and over again, what exactly was he…
“It must be that a human and their soul pet, the White Nightmare Demon, undergo a soul fusion and struggle process, turning them into a half-demon. Afterward, humans will have one of two outcomes. First, they will become an extremely ferocious White Nightmare Demon, which is generally called a bloodthirsty demon. It has human intelligence and yet the brutality of a demon, making it the most cunning and representative creature of the Death God in the world. The other outcome is also a demon, but not a White Nightmare Demon nor human – but a half-demon who has lost their senses, thoughts, and memories. This kind of half-demon is a newly born entity, naturally possessing unparalleled strength. They will still kill, be brutal, and bloodthirsty like a demon, but that is because they are in the juvenile stage, unable to control their power. As time passes, this newborn half-demon will gradually develop new consciousness and thoughts…” Little beauty Ning Man’er seemed to know everything, speaking with conviction and her gaze not wandering at all.
“Half-demon brother must belong to the second type of demon. This is mainly because when the half-demon brother was a human, he possessed a very deeply rooted faith and determination. Life originates from the tenacious will to live of the soul. Half-demon brother, as a human, was unwilling to annihilate himself. With such persistence, half-demon brother gradually began to think, inquire and explore…” Ning Man’er continued.
The king’s eyes became more bewildered as he stared at the girl in front of him, and a trace of emotional turmoil seemed to flow through his eyes.
Half a year ago, all he knew was killing, slaying from the edge of the forbidden domain all the way to its depths, with rivers of blood, countless tribes, and races disappearing. However, after half a year, he increasingly loathed the mechanical slaughter he inflicted. On one hand, his enemies were too weak, while on the other hand, he had learned to think…
“If half-demon brother is willing to take me with him, Ning Man’er will help half-demon brother find the lost and forgotten things because these truly belong to you. Of course, since brother is a new life and wants to abandon the past and start anew, he can also ignore those things… Ah, anyway, half-demon brother must take me with him. I can tell half-demon brother a lot of things…” Little beauty Ning Man’er anxiously spoke, afraid that the king would directly throw her away.
A new life, starting anew?
If he were willing to start anew, he wouldn’t have set foot on human territory.
He had tried to use his formidable mental power to erase the remnants of some memories, but when he did so, an excruciating sadness filled his mind, even making this ruthless demon shed silver tears. At that time, he realized how important memories and the past were to his walking corpse and hollow soul – they were things even more difficult to let go of than life itself.
“Can you help me find what I’ve lost?” the king asked indifferently.
“Um…” Ning Man’er hesitated.
In fact, she was not sure whether the lost soul could be found. She had never encountered such a situation before. After all, the present half-demon was a new life. As this new life grew mentally, it would form new memories and new ideas…
“Let’s go,” the king said at this moment.
“Huh? Where to?” Ning Man’er looked at the silver demon man with confusion, as he turned to leave, and asked without understanding.
The king did not answer but instead slowly floated and flew towards the dusky dawn on the horizon.
The ten White Nightmare Demons grinned one after another, and the White Nightmare Demon who had known Ning Man’er the longest quickly picked the little bewildered girl up, following closely behind the king.
Only then did Ning Man’er realize that the king had decided to take her on his journey, and a pure and beautiful smile blossomed on her face. She sweetly thanked the cold and proud silver demon man flying ahead.
“Since half-demon brother was once a human, he must still have his own soul pets. These are the brother’s life companions, and according to humans, these are brother’s closest friends.” Ning Man’er shouted towards the silver demon man from a hundred meters away.
The silver demon man’s body suddenly paused, but he soon continued flying forward.
“Eh~~~~ eh~~~~~~~”
At this moment, the Nightmare Demon Ruler let out a cry, acting like a qualified friend!
The other White Nightmare Demons also echoed, looking like they were professional hitmen!
The silver demon man looked back at the group of White Nightmare Demons that loved to meddle, and although they were indeed the only kind he knew, he always felt they lacked something, and they didn’t seem as close and dependable as Ning Man’er described them to be as “soul pets.”
As he withdrew his gaze, he unwittingly glanced at his shoulder. Why did he always feel like this shoulder lacked some weight, or to say, it was because he lost this weight on his shoulder that left him feeling so empty inside?
“I’d better find the lost things quickly,” he murmured to himself.
In the east, a sad voice seemed to be calling out to him. He had a premonition that once he reached there, he would no longer be as dazed and confused as he was now!
“Oh, also, half-demon brother still wears space rings on his hands… These space rings… are supposed to belong to brother when he was a Soul Pet Master.” Ning Man’er observed carefully and discovered that the king, his hands burning with demon flames, wore two space rings!
Perhaps these space rings might hold some clues.
