44 A New Demon King is Born 2 (1/2)
”What will you do, Your Highness?” Asked the ape again.
”...”
Sigh...
”Release the seal from Irkalia's bracelet and let the spirits confined in the relic free... ” Said Rainer after sighing.
Of course, Rainer would be pleased to have his own Army of Demons, but Liann was his only connection with his mother and the demon race that he known, so he could not let her die!
Besides, this was something temporary, he could rebuild an even bigger army in the future!
”At your command!”
The ape took a war horn out of his pocket and blew it out.
Voooooow!
The war horn made the whole ground tremble!
”...!”
The bracelet, which was lying on the ground, began to vibrate and a light came out of it!
Whoosh!
Several thousand lights flew from the bracelet and landed on the ground.
Gulp...
Rainer couldn't help but swallow saliva at such a scene, thousands of soldiers stood upright waiting for his orders!
”These are the soldiers of Veritas, the first Demon King!”The ape's eyes shone proudly at the sight of such an army.
”Soldiers, the Demon King has spoken, you all are free, the war is over!” Shouted the ape as he spoke in front of the thousands army of demons.
Since the General was the Demon King, the Commander was the second highest rank in the Demon Army, he was the only one capable of releasing the spirits of those who died from the sealing prison! Of course, this could only be done under the explicit orders of the Demon King!
”...”
”The war is over!”
The light seemed to return to the face of many spirits, some soldiers smiled, others shed tears while others thankedthe forgiveness...
From the cavalry to the war beasts, everyone bowed as they vanished into light particles.
A stream of warm light shone in the stormy night, light particles swirled around the woods as they were rising into the heavens.
The storm clouds disappeared at the arrival of the light particles, and by an instant it seemed that it had dawned! A blinding flash illuminated the entire Guyi, announcing the birth of a new Demon King!
”...”
All those present watched how the light disappeared along with the storm, and when the light disappeared, a small crystalline drop remained in the now deserted field.
The ape came to pick up the crystalline drop and handed it to Rainer.
”What is this?” Asked Rainer after receiving the strange crystalline drop.
”It is a gift of gratefulness from the soldiers... this droplet is part of their spirit's crystallization, now it is not very useful to you, but when you reach a higher cultivation realm, you will realize its truly value, so you should not let anyone know about its existence.”He replied while he wiped a tear from his right eye, watching the men alongside whom he had fought for hundreds of years reincarnate, moved him.
”By the way, why haven't you disappeared with them?”Asked Rainer to the ape.
”I am...!”The ape could not end his speech when a light covered his body and his size, which was three meters tall, was reduced to the height of a small ape!
”...!”
Rainer was surprised, from an intimidating giant ape, he became a thirty centimeter ape!
”As I supposed... ” Sighed the ape.
”I was the Demon King's right hand, Xarcas! The Demon King welcomed me when I was a simple monkey and showed me the way of cultivation!When he told me about the creation of this artifact, I presented myself voluntarily in order to have my spirit be the foundation of Irkalia's Bracelet, which is why I can release the other spirits, but I need the Demon King to destroy the bracelet in order to release me... ”When Xarcas spoke about Veritas, his eyes shone in pride and loyalty, as one would expect from the man who almost conquered the world....
