Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

5/9

The Wicked Demon was greatly shocked. He had no idea how Freya had approached.

However, Lordan quickly adjusted his emotions and forced himself to calm down. After that, the Wicked Demon quickly scanned Freya up and down and immediately recognized her.

"You are... that Saintess?"

Lordan was both surprised and puzzled. After all, although Freya's appearance was the same as that Saintess, the words she spoke and her current aura were vastly different from the Saintess in the intelligence reports.

Bringing up what Freya had just said...

The Wicked Demon frowned and, after confirming that the Saintess seemed to have no malicious intent, immediately asked in return, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"By Master?"

"Could it be that you are also..."

Freya didn't need to say much. She waved her hand, and a projection of Radiant magic was reflected on the wall, recording the process of Reji's battle with the apostles.

The Wicked Demon was initially puzzled. After seeing the contents inside, Lordan's emotions, which had just calmed down a bit, immediately became flustered again.

No, this time it directly escalated to horror.

Because in the footage, Lordan could clearly see the strength of Reji, the Hero. All six apostles were not even a match for a single move, not to mention there were also two traitors among them!

"How... How could this be..."

"This wasn't how it was in the prophecy. The Hero should have been very weak. Why, no..."

Lordan didn't doubt the falseness of the footage at all.

After all, a battle of this level couldn't be easily simulated or faked.

He was a bit dazed, muttering to himself, seemingly having a hard time accepting reality.

However, very quickly.

When Lordan saw a certain little succubus beside Reji in the footage, his expression instantly turned ferocious, as if he understood everything in an instant.

"Eileen, it's her! Damn it! I knew she wasn't dead! Succubus... it's them... it's them again!!"

The Wicked Demon let out a roar.

Anger crept up all over Lordan's body.

The Succubus Race would only be loyal to the true Demon King.

Eileen's appearance beside the Hero, showing such closeness, proved an extremely cruel fact to Lordan.

A new Demon King had been born again.

And coincidentally, it was the Hero.

"Why, no! This isn't right! The Demon King should only be summoned. Only high-level 'Descended' can become the Demon King! What qualifies him, what qualifies him!!"

"There must be some secret hidden by that damn bitch succubus Eileen! I knew it! I knew the Succubus Race was still hiding the key summoning item!"

Lordan raged impotently like this for quite a while.

The Wicked Demon smashed things frantically.

After all, the situation had almost taken a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

The apostles had all betrayed him.

The Demon King position he had worked so hard to usurp was also gone.

The most desperate thing was that the other party had already gathered the two Fate Tracks of "Hero" and "Demon King", which meant that the other party was already fully capable of becoming the vessel for the Evil God's revival.

No wonder.

No wonder the human Saintess in front of him said he had been abandoned by the Master..

His Master had actually given him a false prophecy.

Deceived him!

It turned out he was the clown.

The one truly favored by the Master was that person, the Hero!

Why!

Why!

After venting his resentful emotions, Lordan also knew that no matter how unwilling he was, it was useless here, and the situation had not yet reached a point of complete despair. Perhaps there was still a chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, the Wicked Demon shifted his gaze back to Freya.

"So, what did you come to me for? Did the Hero send you? To enjoy the ugly state of my failure?"

As the vessel chosen by the Evil God, Lordan didn't believe the Hero was a good person at all.

Therefore, by extension, Lordan also believed that the darkness and ugliness in the Saintess's heart could only be even greater than his.

Freya also hoped the Wicked Demon would understand it this way.

Her previous pretense of calling the "Master" was for this purpose.

"Do you want to take revenge on the Hero?"

The Saintess spoke.

Making Lordan both surprised and feeling it was only natural.

Looking at the still expressionless Freya, the Wicked Demon actually laughed. He said mockingly, "No wonder you came to find me. What, could it be that you also covet Master's power?"

Freya didn't say anything.

In the Wicked Demon's view, that was not denying it.

Heh.

Hehehe.

The Master had betrayed him, and the Saintess had betrayed the Hero.

Lordan had no doubt about Freya at all.

After all, that was Master's power.

Who wouldn't want to become the vessel for the Evil God's revival?

"Tell me about your plan."

"Next, the Hero will come to exterminate you immediately. You are certainly doomed to die, but if you and I cooperate and help me distract the Hero's attention, and if necessary, hold him back for me, I will be able to ambush the Hero from behind and... kill him."

"At that time, after the Hero dies, I will become the only vessel for Master and become the revived Evil God. I will promise to also revive you as a reward."

"Not a bad plan, but how can I trust you?"

"Do you have any other choice?"

After Freya spoke, the Wicked Demon fell into silence. It could be seen that he was still very unwilling, but as the Saintess said, he indeed had no bargaining chips.

Either he would be killed by the Hero for nothing.

Or, cooperate with the Saintess's betrayal and at least make the Hero take the fall for him. If he was lucky and Freya could really fulfill her promise, he could still be revived in the future and make a comeback.

No matter how he looked at it, he only had one choice.

In the end, Lordan took a deep breath and nodded to the Saintess.

"Alright, I agree."

"Let us... kill the Hero together."

After reaching an agreement with Lordan.

Freya, who had left the demon race, walked alone in the wilderness.

Looking at the darkened sky, she couldn't help but recall the last agreement between her and Reji before they parted ways.

Is this world line good now?

As long as Lordan is killed and the subsequent events are not carried out, peace can be achieved, but... only "short-lived" peace.

Because this way, the world line will have completely changed.

Eileen, who has already achieved the "perfect ending", will no longer perform the Demon King summoning.

Vielsia, with the perfect ending, will also not become a demon apostle.

The future is completely messed up.

The Philosopher's Stone will inevitably shatter.

With the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone, neither Reji nor she knew what would happen. At best, they would lose the Demon King's power. At worst, even Reji's existence might disappear.

After all, Reji's current power and the Demon King Fate Track were both retained from the second playthrough, and it could be said that it was the Philosopher's Stone that maintained the historical state.

Moreover, the problem of the Evil God had not been solved at all, and the dimensions were still being polluted.

So no matter what, Freya clenched her fists. She knew she had to continue the development of history and continue to become the Emperor.

Only in this way could Reji, her Hero, continue to be the Demon King in the future.

Thoroughly solidifying the two Fate Tracks of "Hero" and "Demon King".

Becoming the new Evil God.

From then on, the dimensions would no longer be polluted.

The current story could not yet come to an end.

Sorry, Eileen, Vielsia...

You will definitely hate me a lot later on.

But for the future...

I still need to play the role of this villain.

I...

Must become the Emperor.
