Red light flashed in his eyes, Yang Yu’s speed suddenly increased.
Amidst the relentless attack magic, he dodged and maneuvered, unaffected by the magic.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Yu was in front of the Holy Sword.
Lux tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The Holy Sword, wrapped in black magic, was firmly gripped in Yang Yu’s hand.
The black magic, like a violent current, pierced into Yang Yu’s arm, tearing his skin, revealing bright red flesh.
Enduring unimaginable pain, Yang Yu held the hilt of the Holy Sword tightly.
Lux had deliberately placed protective magic on the Holy Sword to maintain control.
He hadn’t anticipated that the Holy Sword would truly fall into Yang Yu’s hands.
The gleaming Light Arrow once again streaked through the sky, arriving beside Yang Yu, releasing pure Holy Light to dispel the black magic enveloping Yang Yu’s body.
Holding the Holy Sword high over his head, Yang Yu absorbed all the attributes it possessed, instantly memorizing its five skills.
The Demon King had already sensed the arrival of the second Light Arrow. He had tried to break it before it touched Yang Yu, but his body, as if unwilling, lagged a bit, causing him to miss the best opportunity.
Raising a hand to his forehead, Lux quickly connected with Vorquis:
"How did you manage to do it?
Don’t casually come to disrupt.
I’ve said this body will be returned to you later, if I die, you’ll disappear along with it."
Through the semi-transparent space, Vorquis vaguely saw the situation outside, as if he could once again control his own body.
But something kept suppressing him, trying to turn everything he saw into pure white, isolating him from the entire world.
No matter how hard that thing tried, it didn’t change Vorquis’s space; Vorquis could still see the situation outside through the semi-transparent space.
"I don’t know why I could do it."
Vorquis looked at his hand; his body gradually became more transparent.
Since earlier, he felt something strange; he seemed to have connected in some parts with Lux, clearly sensing Lux’s emotions and actions.
Yet, he was no longer the observer he was just moments ago; he could weakly control his own body.
"I say, your name is Lux, right?
You are an ancient Hero.
An ancient Hero who saved the world.
Why do this?"
Lux, full of anger, replied: "I have already explained earlier, if you want to know about that part of history, wait until I clean up the battlefield, and I will tell you one by one.
Don’t interfere.
He has already taken the Holy Sword.
That is a weapon capable of killing the Demon King!
Do you want both of us to be killed by him?"
Vorquis bowed his head, "I can feel your feelings. Can you understand mine?
I intend to say, not this.
From the beginning, you didn’t plan to discuss with me, explain the past, and then let me choose whether to assist you or choose another path...
You took my body directly without asking, using it to do anything you desired.
Without consulting me, you... killed her.
Even if you have that kind of technology to resurrect, you shouldn’t act so recklessly."
Lux, somehow, felt a unique anger and grief rising from the bottom of his heart.
The two types of anger born from different reasons actually made the two souls touch more.
Lux tightly pinched his forehead, wishing to crush his own skull to stop this unique feeling from spreading throughout his body.
But no matter how Lux tried, that strange feeling had already become an indelible part of him.
Before Lux could think of how to appease Vorquis and make him join forces against Yang Yu, Yang Yu swung the sharp Holy Sword at them.
Raising his hand, with a hook upwards, a solid Shield released from Lux’s feet, blocking Yang Yu’s sudden assault.
The black Shield splattered golden sparks.
Taking this opportunity, Lux communicated with Vorquis again:
"I had no choice but to do that.
When I occupied your body, the Demon King Army had already descended.
At that time, your strength was not proficient at all. I have always found ways to enhance your strength to withstand the Demon King’s multiple attacks.
Because of my efforts, many people were saved.
Even though I am now the Demon King, it’s to sever cause and effect."
"But also because of you, the Village of Heroes, many innocent people were killed cleanly with just a word from you. Although I didn’t stay there long, everyone there treated me well."
"That’s because you see through a filter in your eyes. You don’t know how they treated me. After I won, there wasn’t the celebration I imagined. Only disdain and exclusion."
"I don’t know what happened in the past. But maybe... it was because you did something wrong."
"I did indeed make some mistakes.
But I’ve already spent my life atoning for them, isn’t that enough?
Besides, it is that guy’s fault... even though I tried so hard, in the end, not a word of recognition exchanged.
What they truly revere is only the goddess; they would never respect a person."
"Never respecting a person..."
Vorquis murmured,
"While I don’t know what your ideal really is, sacrificing some people for your justice is something I don’t agree with.
Many people did nothing, yet left this world in confusion.
They died unclear and uncertain.
If you truly want them to sacrifice, then you should state your intentions clearly, letting them understand the consequences of doing so.
If they agree with your idea and are willing to die for you, then their death has purpose.
But you... never said anything from the beginning."
"I’ve already said, some profound things cannot be understood by ordinary people in a short time!
This era’s Hero, give it a rest.
I indeed have some areas not done well. But just as you want me to correct, you must survive first!"
The Holy Sword covered with Holy Light gradually carved cracks onto the black Shield.
Bai Jin and others in the sky did not recklessly cast magic for support, instead constantly observing the Demon King’s actions to avoid excessive magic release making the battle difficult for Yang Yu to control.
They were more concerned with the magic whirlpool swirling in the sky; Bai Jin could feel that magic, which could potentially demolish the entire Demon King City.
