The city guards outside the forest quickly formed a fan-shaped encirclement formation. When the formation was formed, the team lit up their torches in an orderly manner. A mage in the team released a " Bright Light Spell ", illuminating the area where White Crane and the others were as bright as day.
Even this well-trained army was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Two black-robed Mages and a winged Protoss beauty stood together. Not far away, a terrifying zombie was chasing a few knights. There were also a few torn corpses scattered on the ground. There was also a guy who was moaning weakly in the air. A ball of black flames had completely burned his lower body…
"Dark magic! There is a Dark Mage here, everyone be careful!”Someone in the army shouted.
"Magicians, stand by!" A man in military uniform shouted and then rode his horse forward.
"I don't care who you are, stop!”
Unfortunately, the zombies wouldn't listen to his orders, and the guys who were being chased by the zombies didn't dare to stop.
Elena stared at the white crane with all her attention. As long as the white crane moved, she would attack. Unfortunately, her magic fluctuations could not fool the white crane at all.
Bai He glanced at her and said in a threatening tone,""You know the consequences of doing this!" Then, he slowed down his tone and looked at the army in front of him. He said to Elena,""I will give them a chance."
" Listen up!" Bai He said to the army." These humans have just brutally raped and killed a female slave. Now, I want them to receive the punishment they deserve!"”
"You have no right to do that. Whether they should be punished or not should be decided by the laws of the Imperium!”A person who looked like an officer spoke.
"Then according to your laws, what kind of punishment should you receive for raping and killing an escaped slave girl?”Bai He looked at the officer.
" As a knight, I despise this kind of behavior." Facing the cold gaze of the White Crane, the officer was silent for a moment and said,""But they have the right to do so!"
The white crane ignored him and looked at Elena with a mocking gaze.
"This is the country protected by the Protoss. This is the law recognized by the Protoss.”
Elena could no longer face the White Crane's gaze. She lowered her head, and her heart churned. Was that really the case? Is this really the law recognized by the country protected by the Protoss? No, no, the great and righteous Father, the wise and merciful eight elders, how could they allow such evil behavior…
"Stop your Dark Magic immediately!”The officer was angered by Bai He's attitude and shouted,""This is the last warning!"
"Warning?" Bai He laughed coldly." I'm executing my law. Anyone who stands in my way will. Kill. None. Pardon!"
The last three words were filled with a threatening tone, and when it came out of Bai He's mouth, it made people tremble in fear.
The officer waved his hand, and a dozen mages in the team attacked at the same time. A huge bolt of lightning broke through the sky and struck the white crane.
The white crane formed a semi-circular barrier with itself as the center, blocking the army outside. The huge lightning struck the barrier, emitting a dazzling light like a gorgeous firework, but it could not cause any damage to the barrier.
Elena was shocked. This demon was finally going to attack.
She knew that Bai He had long been on guard against her, and it was impossible for her to sneak attack him to stop him. Thus, without thinking, she flashed in front of Bai He and opened her arms.
"As a god, I have to protect my people. If you want to kill the humans in front of you, you have to step over my dead body!”Elena's beautiful face was filled with determination. The great pride of the God Clan filled her body and soul. In her heart, the Protoss was a combination of justice, kindness, and courage. She had always been proud of being a member of the Protoss. When the dignity of the Protoss was about to be trampled by the demons, she could only sacrifice herself for justice. Sacrifice for the Protoss. This was the belief of every Protoss!
"I won't kill you, nor will I kill these soldiers.”Bai He said expressionlessly.
Elena felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She felt that Bai He was not a true bloodthirsty demon.
She had followed Bai He to the human world to travel. She also had a thought in her heart. She hoped that she could gradually change him, break away from the abyss of evil, and let him have a kind heart again. This way, there would be no more killing and wars…
Bai He's next words made Elena's heart turn cold.
"I want this army to be the witness, to let humans know what the laws of darkness are. I want humans to know that in front of the laws of darkness, even the gods they believe in are powerless!”Bai He used the power of darkness to transmit his voice. This sentence deeply shocked everyone's hearts.
Baron Theron let out one last mournful groan as if he was going along with the White Crane's words. The knight who was being chased by the zombie also kept screaming before he died. Under the effect of the White Crane's Dark Magic, everyone could clearly hear the soul-shattering dark sonata.
Elena's face was pale. She felt that the White Crane was even more terrifying than the Dark Demon King. Although Bai He's power was slightly weaker than the Dark Demon King, compared to the Dark Demon King who only knew how to kill and use force to solve all problems, Bai He's scheming made her afraid. If the news of tonight's incident were to spread, it would definitely deal a huge blow to the prestige of the Shen clan.
Elena's pale face blushed. She flapped her white wings and slowly floated up, chanting loudly,""In my name, Elena, summon the holy elements. With my body, explode your power!”
The powerful light element expanded rapidly. Elena's body was like a balloon filled with light element, gradually reaching its limit. This was the sign of the Protoss self-destruction!
The white crane suddenly leaped into the air and punched Elena's flat abdomen. The immense pain caused Elena to faint.
At this time, the army outside the barrier was not idle either. The colorful magic and fighting spirit hit the barrier like brilliant fireworks, looking particularly beautiful against the dark night sky. Although these mages and knights had no lack of experts, they were unable to break through the white crane's barrier with their strength.
The zombie finally tore the last knight in half. The zombie that had lost its target slowly walked towards Bai He.
"Little sister!" The young girl cried out loud. Although she had turned into a zombie, she was still her dearest sister, and on the other side was her master. She did not want any harm to come to either side.
However, the scene she had imagined did not happen. The zombie walked in front of the white crane and knelt down.
Bai He's eyes were filled with pity, not showing the slightest disgust for her dirty appearance. He gently placed his hand on her head and softly chanted,"In the name of me, Bai He, I command the dark flames to purify your soul and let you find peace in the eternal darkness! Dark Blessing!"
A drop of blood flowed from the zombie's eyes. It was a bright red tear that contained too much hatred, too much humiliation, and too much regret. Her body began to burn. Under the burning of the dark flames, countless tiny ashes danced in the wind. At this moment, all the slaves knelt down and looked at the girl's corpse turning into particles in the wind, sobbing. The black ashes seemed to have a life of their own as they danced around the white crane and the crying slaves, as if they were reluctant to part, but also as if they were comforting her friends…
Elena woke up and slowly opened her eyes. She saw the blood and tears of humiliation in the eyes of the zombies and the gratitude in the eyes of the slaves. Was this evil? Was this a demon?
Elena's heart was in a mess. This night was something she would never forget. The princess of the Protoss once again doubted her beliefs.
In her confusion, Elena met Bai He's gaze. She suddenly realized that she was still lying in Bai He's arms. She had been pampered since she was young and had never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex. The men who pursued her in the Protoss treated her like a god and did not even touch the corner of her clothes. Now, she was actually being hugged by a man, and this man was an evil demon!
Elena's face was red as she struggled a few times, but the self-destruction that she had just activated made her entire body ache, and she couldn't even use any strength.
"Demon, let me go! Why did you save me?”Elena flew into a rage.
"Do you think that I'm stupid enough to let you self-destruct in front of these people so that I can establish the image of the God Clan that they would rather die than surrender? Do you think that I would ignore the lives of these slaves and let them turn into ashes under the power of self-destruction?”
Indeed, if Elena self-destructed in front of these humans, even if she couldn't hurt the White Crane, it would at least make these people feel grateful and respectful towards the God Clan. However, if a Protoss was helpless against a demon and allowed it to slaughter its own people, it would be a heavy blow to the respect humans had for the Protoss.
The white crane stared into Elena's eyes and said as it moved its face closer to Elena.
Elena didn't want to be outdone and glared back fiercely. The tips of their noses were about to touch. Elena turned around with a red face and turned her ear to the white crane.
Bai He moved its mouth closer to her delicate ear and said in a low and slow voice,""Your voice can't pass through my barrier. The people outside won't know what you're doing. All they knew was that a Dark Mage was wantonly slaughtering humans in front of the gods, and that beautiful goddess was not only powerless, but she was also obediently lying in the arms of this Dark Mage!”
" This is just the beginning," he said after a pause." I want humans to abandon you arrogant and self-righteous Protoss and become the subjects of darkness! I want this world to follow my rules, including humans and the gods!”
Elena only felt her ears itch, but the shock in her heart made her unable to care about this. She felt that her persistence had completely collapsed. This demon seemed to be able to see through her heart. The strength and wisdom that she was proud of were useless in front of him. She had a feeling of being conquered. She did not dislike this feeling. Instead, she felt a little familiar with it. In Elena's eyes, the White Crane had become as tall as her father, the Radiant Godking, and she was filled with admiration.
The army outside the barrier finally stopped attacking. The army in the town kept coming, but they were also helpless.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. The bodies on the ground were torn apart, causing the stomachs of these warriors who had been through many battles to churn. They couldn't believe it. Why was that Dark Mage still able to kill humans in front of the mighty Protoss? Why was the great god powerless in front of the Dark Mage and lying in his arms without struggling?
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, there was no need for Bai He to stay any longer. He looked at the seven slaves who were still kneeling on the ground and thought about how to arrange them. With their current strength, it was very inconvenient to bring them along and take care of them. Moreover, he couldn't explain it to Tracy and the others.
Bai He still wanted to continue his journey to the human world. At this moment, his original thoughts of traveling in the human world to broaden his horizons faded away. Instead, he wanted to further understand the humans of this world.
" Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles "…Bai He wanted to complete his destiny and lead the dark race to conquer the human world. This was something that was indispensable. If he had been like the Dark Demon King in the past, blindly relying on strength, he might have ended up like him, self-destructing. As he thought about it, he suddenly had a wonderful idea.
"Now, I want to tell you that I am not a human. I am the Lord God of the Dark Association. I'll give you a chance to go back on your word. You'd better think carefully. If you follow me, it means betraying your own race!”Bai He revealed his identity. If he wanted these people to become his loyal subordinates, this was a must.
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened and they did not react for a long time. In their hearts, the Master God of the Dark Association should be an ugly demon, not an ordinary-looking youth like Bai He.
The girl was the first to react and said softly,""No matter if you are a god or a demon, I only know that you are my master. You saved us.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Are you really willing to betray your own race, abandon your beliefs, and become the people of Darkness?”Bai He asked again.
"Betrayal?" A man laughed at himself." Other than you, who else would treat us as humans? In their eyes, we are just lowly slaves, tools, and toys.”
The White Crane's gaze swept across their faces, using the mental spell " Spiritual Peeping " to probe everyone's hearts. After confirming everyone's firm belief, Bai He said,""With your current strength, you are not qualified to be my subordinates. I'm going to send you to a place where you will undergo cruel cultivation until you have great strength. The ones who trained you are not humans. They don't know compassion. You might die in the training. Are you willing?”
Everyone nodded firmly. The white crane used spatial magic and instantly disappeared with Elena in its arms. Only the soldiers were left standing in the forest with their mouths wide open.
That night was the beginning of mankind's nightmare…
Bai He sent those slaves to the mo, letting the mo train them. Due to their extraordinary strength, coupled with the contract with the Dark Lord God, White Crane, and the hellish training of the demons, they soon possessed powerful strength. They also signed a contract with the dragons and became the most loyal guards of the White Crane. 13 Dragon Cavalry Guards. However, this was a story for the future.
By the time Bai He brought Elena back to the hotel, it was almost dawn.
The frequent mobilization of troops at night made Treny and the others uneasy. No one had slept well and thought that there was a high-level magical beast nearby, so they were on full alert. Fortunately, everyone felt that the white crane did not know magic and martial arts, so there was no need to let him be afraid. They did not call him, so the white crane did not wear the armor.
Elena had no strength at all. The battle of wits and courage just now had exhausted all her strength. She leaned against the headboard to rest.
White Crane was leisurely drinking red wine. He had spent a gold coin to buy it from the market. Although it was not of the highest quality, it was still a good thing that commoners could not bear to enjoy. Unfortunately, it fell into the hands of a guy who didn't know how to taste red wine.
Ye Yu went to the Demon Realm. Bai He instructed her to arrange everything for those slaves before daybreak and to formulate a plan to train them into experts in a short period of time. Ye Yu was already very familiar with these things. Just by looking at how she had trained experts like Purple Yan and Satan, he knew that she was very skilled in this aspect.
In his previous life, Bai He liked to drink white wine when he was in a bad mood. Then, he would take a nap to vent the frustration and pain in his heart. The next day, his mood would be better. This habit had not changed in this world. Unfortunately, he had never seen white wine in this world.
Elena looked at the white crane warily. She was a little afraid, not knowing what the white crane would do to her. After losing her strength, she could no longer find the heroic feeling she had before. She was like a shy little girl, an injured little bird, especially lovable.
At this moment, Bai He no longer had the domineering aura from before. He had completely returned to his usual appearance, giving off a very fragile feeling. It was just that there was less frivolity and more steadiness. His eyes had also become much deeper, as if there were many things hidden inside. Elena had never seen such a deep and slightly melancholic gaze before. Elena felt that her attention was involuntarily attracted by his eyes.
Bai He poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Elena. It was a full glass. He didn't know any etiquette about drinking red wine.
Elena took it. She knew it was wine, but she had never drunk it. She held the cup with both hands and took a small sip, like a little girl who was drinking behind her parents 'back. Elena felt that this thing was sour and a little sweet. It wasn't delicious, but it had a special feeling.
"What should I do?" The white crane said softly, as if it was asking Elena, but it was more like it was talking to itself.
"I hate killing. This world is really cruel. Why are the humans here like this? If I could choose, I would rather return to my world and be an ordinary student to complete my studies.”
Elena asked cautiously," Then why did you kill so many people just now and claim that you want to conquer the humans and the Protoss?”
"I don't know. When I was angry, this thought took over my mind. However, I do not regret killing those humans. This world is unfair." Bai He stared into Elena's eyes and said.
Elena wasn't used to looking at the white crane. She looked away and asked softly,""Then what will you do in the future?"
Bai He's expression was gloomy. After a long silence, Bai He said softly,"I'm a weak person. I always choose to run away from fate and place my hopes on the illusory future. There were also too many pointless pity and concerns.”
He paused for a moment before continuing," I'm the Master God of the Dark Association, but I've never thought about my responsibilities. I'm the God of the Demon Race and the Dragon Race, but I've never considered their feelings. From the beginning to the end, I've always been self-centered and wanted to live a leisurely and happy life. I'm actually very selfish."
Elena looked at Bai He with pity. She could understand his helplessness and self-blame, and she could also understand his conflicted feelings at the moment. In the Divine Realm, she was not free from her own will. If she could choose, she would rather be an ordinary Protoss than the First Princess of the Protoss. That way, she could have many friends and play with them in the garden. She could run in the fields with her pet, Lily, every day. However, she could not. She had to bear her own responsibility. She had to force herself to wield the sword and practice magic. She had to become stronger and fight for the glory of the Protoss. She suddenly felt that when she blocked the Dark Demon King's sword for her father, it was actually a kind of escape. She used death to escape her responsibility. And following Bai He to travel in the human world was actually just to find a reason to escape. Elena felt that she was actually very similar to Bai He.
" I want to." Bai He took a deep breath, then raised his head and downed the red wine in his glass. His tone suddenly became incomparably firm, and the domineering aura from before appeared on Bai He's face again. The gloomy look on his face disappeared.
"I think it's time for me and this world to change!”
Elena looked at Bai He in surprise. She felt that Bai He had changed. The current Bai He was no longer the carefree, shy, and optimistic youth he had been on the road. His slightly childish face was replaced with a mature smile.
"Hey, when are you going back to your original form? Tomorrow, they will find out that there is a goddess lying on my bed. I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.”Seeing Elena's stunned expression, Bai He teased.
Elena was obviously unable to adapt to the White Crane's rapidly changing emotions, and she stared at him blankly. However, Bai He's call for a beauty immediately caused her fair and tender cheeks to flush red. She did not know what to say.
" It's probably... dawn..." Elena said in panic.
Bai He suddenly took out a golden accessory from his body. He had made it based on a hairpin from ancient China and melted eight gold coins with fire magic.
He took the golden buyao, sat beside Elena, and stuffed it into her hand.
"This is for you." Bai He smiled brightly.
Before Elena could react, the White Crane had already rolled onto the bed. With its hands behind its head, it fell asleep.
Elena sat by the bed in a daze, staring at the strange accessory in her hand. She didn't know how she felt. This was the first time she received a gift from the opposite sex.
Elena thought about how she was fighting him to the death just now. The opponent she would rather self-destruct to destroy was lying next to her and giving her a beautiful accessory. Elena felt that it was ridiculous and exciting.
"The human world is really interesting!" Elena smiled and lowered her head to play with the accessory in her hand…
