Old steed in the stable, white hair in twilight years.
Vivian knew that the being before her was a true elder who had witnessed the entire rise and fall of the Violet Family, their last guardian!
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously.
"Let's go!" Sword Puppet raised his head, sword energy surging.
In the blink of an eye.
They arrived at the towering castle walls of Moonlily City.
Sword Puppet lifted his head, his gaze hazy as he looked towards a direction in the city, frowning:
"It's the aura of a headless knight, a high-ranking demon lord."
Vivian trembled, saying: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, you know him..."
Sword Puppet said deeply: "Thousands of years ago, I followed my master to the abyss a few times. Back then, this demon begged to join my master's command, but was rejected..."
Vivian was shocked, her face full of astonishment, never imagining such a thing.
Sword Puppet narrowed his eyes: "If it were thousands of years ago, I wouldn't have given such a creature a second thought. But after all, I am just a puppet, my strength has been declining, and now dealing with this guy will be troublesome..."
Vivian swallowed hard, saying: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, how much of a chance do you have to defeat him..."
Sword Puppet took a deep breath, saying:
"Less than fifty percent..."
Vivian trembled all over.
If there was only a fifty percent chance against this headless knight, then what about the Demon Lord...
Her eyes inevitably revealed immense fear.
She couldn't imagine... she really couldn't believe...
"I'm going!"
In an instant, Sword Puppet lifted his head, a faint glow of magical energy in his eyes.
The next moment.
He stepped on the crenel of the wall. White hair fluttering.
But just as he was about to leap into battle.
Suddenly.
From the direction of the distant city, accompanied by a long, shrill scream, an unknown spherical object instantly shot towards them.
The speed was astonishing.
Swoosh————
The sphere brushed past him and crashed into the wall with a bang.
Sword Puppet and Vivian were instantly startled.
"What just flew past us?!"
They quickly turned their heads and looked at the wall behind them in astonishment.
In an instant, they were shocked.
"This is..."
They saw that what had flown over was a demon's head!
At this moment.
The head was embedded there, lips moving, eyes vacant, nose bleeding, as if it had just suffered unspeakable torment and fear.
Sword Puppet almost immediately recognized the face and shuddered:
"This is... Achsius's head?!"
Vivian was greatly alarmed, saying: "This... this can't be real!!!"
And as that head finally awoke, its gaze fell on Sword Puppet and Vivian, and hope immediately shone in its eyes.
"Save me... save me..."
It screamed in terror, as if finding a lifeline.
"Take me away! Take me away now! Anywhere is fine, please take me away!!!"
The head was hoarse, tears streaming.
Seeing this scene.
Sword Puppet and Vivian were instantly dumbfounded.
What... what's going on?
Why is Achsius's head begging for mercy?
According to Sword Puppet Grandpa, isn't Achsius a high-ranking demon lord?!
Vivian was dazed: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, what's going on?"
Sword Puppet muttered: "I... I'm also puzzled!"
And just as they wanted to further understand the situation.
Suddenly, Sword Puppet felt an immense suction force.
In their shocked gaze.
The head embedded in the wall let out a terrified scream and was immediately sucked back by that terrifying force.
"Help! Help!!!"
The shrill scream echoed through the sky.
"It flew back!"
Sword Puppet and Vivian were shocked, they rushed to the edge of the wall, looking towards that direction in a hurry.
And the next moment, they suddenly heard a loud crash from afar.
In the direction of the distant city, it seemed something was being hammered, continuous crashing sounds.
But due to the distance, they couldn't see clearly.
But the next moment.
Bang——
Accompanied by that loud noise.
The head that had just flown back shot towards them again with a scream.
"Help!!!"
The scream quickly approached.
"It flew back again!!!" Vivian screamed.
Achsius's head swoosh—— passed by them.
Then it crashed into the same spot as before, but before it could speak, it was sucked back by that terrifying attraction again.
"Save—me—"
The scream was stretched long.
"It flew back again!" Vivian covered her face, greatly alarmed.
And in the next few minutes.
Achsius's head repeatedly bounced back and forth along the previous trajectory.
As if there was a being playing a wall-based online game.
Swoosh——
Swoosh——
The head repeatedly crashed into the wall and was sucked back, screams echoing.
Vivian was dumbfounded!
She stared with her jaw almost dropping, her eyes following the head back and forth.
"What's going on?!"
...
Meanwhile.
Outside Moonlily City, at the edge of the valley.
Nanako and several Sky Knights were still in a stalemate with the Abyss Society led by the Thorn Sorceress.
Nanako cast a spell to force back the giant bone dragon, immediately turning around with her ponytail flying:
"Quick! We must leave here immediately, we can't stay here and tangle with them anymore!"
She knew they had made a major strategic mistake.
If they had stayed in Moonlily City before, they might have been able to temporarily fend off the demonic invasion.
But now.
Their entire group was suppressed here, making Moonlily City almost like a defenseless little girl!
In this situation, Moonlily City could fall at any moment under the demonic assault!
But Arnold and the others had nothing to say.
Because they were facing a peak-level demonic sorceress and a terrifying abyss bone dragon.
With such a large gap in rank, if not for Nanako's peak-level mage power making the opponent wary, they might have already perished here.
The Thorn Sorceress looked down, her fingers gently touching her lips, arrogantly saying:
"Don't struggle, you can't go back, because even if you do, there's no chance. If you can't even defeat me, how could you possibly defeat the mighty Achsius?"
She gazed yearningly and fervently towards the direction of Moonlily City, smiling:
"Achsius is a powerful high-ranking demon lord, one man can destroy a nation. Unless the Law God descends, no one is his match!"
"Hehehehe—If I'm not mistaken, Achsius must have already slaughtered the entire Moonlily City!"
She laughed mockingly, her proud chest shaking.
Nanako and the others' faces turned pale.
...
"I—"
"Want—"
"To—"
"Go—"
"Home—"
In Moonlily City.
The head shed tears across the sky.
The scream was filled with longing for home, the voice of despair and the thirst for life, making people tear up.
Achsius's shrill scream echoed through the sky.
The feeling of being kicked like a ball, truly no one could understand!
He realized he was wrong!
He shouldn't have come here!
Gods!
Strike me with a bolt of lightning, give me a quick death!
Plop—
A tear, as the head flew past Vivian, splashed onto her face.
Vivian was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
She and the Sword Puppet beside her had been standing there, staring blankly at the head that was flying back and forth for a full five minutes.
"So what the hell is going on here!"
Vivian glared, feeling completely out of sorts.
She touched the tear that had splashed onto her face and exclaimed in shock:
"This demon is actually crying..."
