"Combined~~~~"
“n~~~~~ya~~~~~”
The next moment, the two suddenly pulled closer, their movements perfectly synchronized.
"Ha! (nya!)"
The canine-like monster pounced and grabbed the boy's outstretched right arm, securing it firmly in an octopus-like position. The boy raised his right arm high, striking an unprecedentedly cool pose, and groaned loudly:
"—Human and beast as one, the Sacred Beast Divine Sword!!!"
"Holy shit!!! Kill me!!!" Mino, lying in bed, suddenly let out a pig-like scream.
He rolled around in bed, tears streaming down his face, his body contorting like a maggot, constantly shifting from S to L, emitting strange screams in a repetitive cycle.
"Spare me! I'll confess, I really will!!!"
The young Mino caused unprecedented psychological trauma to the older Mino.
Outstanding effect.
Beside the bed, Migo's face was as red as a ripe apple. Mino's wails were no longer audible. Like a camel, she buried her head deep in her chest, muttering in shame, "That's not me, I don't know it...that's not me, I don't know it..."
The cacophony of howling ghosts and wolves lasted for a full half hour, during which time the boy and the monster in the projection continued to desecrate the corpses of the two people on the bed.
Migo pressed her small chest against her chest and bit her lip.
Enough! She had made up her mind—even if she died here today, she would keep the projection going!
She resolutely raised her gaze to the projection in the room. The most embarrassing part was over, and she refused to believe that there was anything she couldn't show...
Suddenly, Migo's eyes became vacant—
She stared blankly at a small tree next to the cave.
The young horned demon lazily took small steps to the tree, stretched out one hind leg, rested it on the trunk, and was about to...
"Eeeeeahh ...
An unprecedentedly sharp explosion rang out in the cell—
Chapter 95 The Weakest Hero in Human History
Migo was devastated.
Bang! The sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out.
The mental fluctuations emanating from the white crystal in the center of the forehead became chaotic and violent in an instant, and the projection in the field collapsed inch by inch like a bubble illusion.
The light projected by the mental barrier on the bed surface was completely extinguished and detached from Mino.
The once vast and boundless projection was reduced to its original form, reverting to a closed and oppressive prison cell... but the expressions of the two people present were as if they had escaped to heaven.
"Waaaaah, is it finally over?"
With tears in her eyes, Mino turned to Migo: "Now, you can tell me the questions you want to interrogate me with..."
The words caught in his throat, and Mino stared blankly at the twin-tailed girl in front of him.
The girl looked like a defeated woman, biting her lip and glaring at Mino, her face flushed with shame and her eyes still glistening with tears of humiliation.
"Mino, don't think... you've won just like that!!!"
The next moment, with tears streaming down her face, Migo covered her face and ran away without looking back.
"A second goal?!" Mino's eyes widened.
"Hey! That's not fair! Hey!"
Looking in disbelief at himself being caught skipping the fare for the second time, with the quest in his taskbar turning gray, Mino still muttered to himself in disbelief:
"...I've always considered myself a freeloader, but I ended up getting freeloaded..."
"Can we still believe in love in this world...?"
I am destined to have no sleep tonight...
The Demon King's Castle, bottom level.
In Migo's room, Migo, dressed in a pink and white nightgown, dejectedly lifted her head from under the covers, her little pearls having fallen all night.
"Failed again..." Her delicate shoulders trembled slightly as Miguo curled up on the bed, muttering dejectedly.
"Mino ten years ago was just as stupid as she is now... They were very kind to me."
Although it was just a brief flashback, as a horned demon with keen insight into people's hearts, Migo could sense the affection Mino and Shana had for him—not just as familiars, but like family…
In that case, you wouldn't be considered abandoned, right?
A hint of warmth and a glimmer of hope appeared in Migo's eyes... her expression was no longer discouraged.
We're so close! We're so close to finding the truth!
“But…” Migo’s face turned red again:
"No, we can't let Mino see such a shameful scene... What should we do..."
She has recovered most of her strength, but she no longer has a more secretive ability to peer into someone's memories without them noticing.
The two swirling demon horns paused slightly, and Migo suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply!
"That's right! The Nightmare Mirror!"
Migo's eyes lit up as she recalled the Nightmare Mirror's authority over "dreams".
If it can keep Mino awake in his sleep, and I can then use my abilities to project Mino's memories again, wouldn't I be able to watch all of Mino's dark history—no, I mean his childhood memories—without him noticing?
"Yes, let's do it this way!" After careful consideration, Migo became increasingly certain of the plan's feasibility.
"—Once the Nightmare Mirror awakens, let it help us explore Mino's memories together!"
Closing her eyes, Migo hurriedly recorded the characteristics of the extracted memories on the white crystal to avoid any major leaps in the future.
"The memory features are a dark cave, Mino and I, merging, and then... Mino's sister seems to have secretly followed us too. Hmm, with these clues, there shouldn't be any problems!"
After finishing the record, Miguo excitedly waved her little fist:
"Next time, let's start from here and materialize all the memories!!!"
……
As the night faded under the sunlight, the dim world was greeted by the light of dawn.
The greyish sky enveloped the towering, dark, cedar-like structure.
The long-silent darkness seemed to be stimulated by the dawn, spreading with slight ripples. In the gloomy study, the old man with a sinister face completed the final inscription, revealing an icy smile:
"It's finally finished... Now we just need to wait for the title of Hero to be bestowed upon her. At that time, she will face the most painful torture under the protection of the high platform!"
The "darkness" residing within Chief Lak of the Round Tower stirred:
"It took quite a long time... Tsk, he's just an immature hero. We can just kill him directly."
"Our target is the entire continent!"
Lark's brow twitched, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Before you start spouting nonsense, can't you at least do something yourself?"
"As the most fundamental evil force capable of devouring this world, you who call yourself 'The Abyss,' can't you just unleash a world-destroying spell and wipe out all humans and demons...?"
"Damn it! If I were at my peak power, I wouldn't need to reside inside your body!"
As if its sore spot had been stepped on, "Darkness" became somewhat exasperated.
"You should know that when I possess that level of power, the enemies I face will far exceed your imagination!!!"
The voice from "Darkness" sounded somewhat unsettling.
It is now merely the most fundamental element, the Will of the Abyss.
Although its memories have become somewhat blurred due to the split of its origin, over the past ten years... the scale of that battle has grown larger and larger in its memory!
"In that great dark ruin where I was born, the moment I descended, I was met with a combined attack from a Lightborn with goddess-level power, a Darkborn with chaotic bloodline, and a world-destroying demon beast with terrifying mental strength!!!"
Lak remained silent for a moment.
He has already done his best to deal with the troubles caused by Mino and Shana, the two heroes, right now.
He simply couldn't imagine how terrifying and powerful the enemy "Darkness" would have to face...
"No matter what, I need to do something incredibly important now."
Lark walked to the mirror. Dark bags hung under his lifeless eyes, and his hairline had visibly receded further.
"Oh? What is it?" Darkness asked excitedly.
"sleep."
With his eyes closed, a peaceful smile appeared on Lark's face as he slowly... collapsed onto the floor.
The first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, like a warm quilt, plunging the darkness into a deep slumber.
Hiss—
……
early morning.
Inside the palace.
On the empty training field, awe-inspiring gazes were directed toward the center of the field.
A girl stood proudly, wearing a majestic cloak and holding a dark red longsword. Her long, fiery red hair danced in the sunlight, and one of her bright red eyes was covered by a black eye patch.
In front of him was a trainee knight who had sheathed his sword.
“I don’t like wasting time. So, all of you, come at me together…”
The girl spoke in a deep, resonant voice, surveying the crowd:
"I want to take on ten of them!!!"
The domineering aura seemed to intimidate the surrounding paladins, and the scene became quieter than ever before. The usually disciplined paladins exchanged bewildered glances, while crows cawed overhead.
Finally, it was Grand Master Erwin of the Knights who came to the arena.
Looking at Shana's face, he said with a hint of helplessness:
