2. Slaughter
Ignoring the increasingly intense shouts in the distance, I hurriedly lower my head to check.
Both arms and chest are surrounded by ominous black smoke, the upper body seems to be covered by a black armor made of unknown material, extending to the thighs, only exposing the position above the lower arms.
Below the legs, the even more intense black smoke, emitting a glaring white light, completely entwines, like a black battle skirt, shielding my legs, connecting to a black liquid that seems like asphalt, yet boiling.
My gaze extends into the distance, under the azure sky, the verdant hills and thousands of ravines connect to the lush grassy plains. Trees full of red fruits stand tall and green, and unknown silver flowers bloom all over the field.
Such a beautiful and desperate situation, yet destroyed by a gigantic chasm spanning thousands of kilometers, the terrible black liquid continuously overflows from the chasm, the flowers and grass wither rapidly upon contact, turning into black powder.
And now, I am standing at the center of this chasm, on top of the black viscous liquid bubbling with boiling bubbles.
There is no sense of discomfort. Even… I might have been born from this terrible liquid.
What—what is this?
A wave of confusion at the bottom of my heart, before I could figure out what my current situation is, the second round of fireballs has already come with an even more piercing whistling sound.
Boom boom boom boom boom————
"Ah—"
The pain instantly makes it impossible for me to think, instinctively wanting to avoid these dangerous fireballs.
Bend the knees, lean forward, jump to the right.
The howling wind sweeps past my ears, and by the time I react, I am already twenty or thirty meters away from where the fireball exploded.
Without time to be surprised, I immediately look up in the direction from which the fireballs came, and about two or three hundred meters away from me, a legion clad in platinum armor comes into view.
The legion's formation is neat and orderly, seemingly a thousand strong. The style of the armor is solemn and sacred, like ancient Western knights.
Behind the knights, stand two rows of people dressed in fiery red robes, resembling mages. Those people raise the magical instruments or staffs in their hands, muttering words, and sparks of fire gather in the air, obviously preparing for the third round of attack.
In front of the legion, there are three men riding strange beasts. At a rough glance, one knight in even more dazzling armor, one elderly man in a robe, and the remaining one is a young man wrapped in a white cloak, wearing silver light armor, with a long sword hanging at his waist, seemingly somewhat like a swordsman.
These three are likely the leaders of the team.
Where is this? Who are these people? Was that fireball just now a spell?
Everything in front of me is telling me that this cannot possibly be the world I live in. Could it be that I have really crossed into a world of swords and magic?!
But why are they attacking me? Although it doesn't seem like I've sustained any real damage, being hit by fireballs really hurts.
"[Abyssal Language] Why!" I shout at them, but to my horror, what comes out of my mouth is not the voice I'm used to hearing, but a… female voice with a strange metallic friction?!
The language is not Chinese either; it's a pronunciation I've never heard before, but I seem to be able to fluently form this obscure pronunciation into language and understand its meaning.
??????
"[Abyssal Language] What's wrong with me!?" A series of incomprehensible facts leave me at a loss, and I shout again at those human knights.
No response.
The leading knight in the center gives an order, and the third round of fireballs with long tails of flame comes at me.
"Ah—!!" Seeing that I'm about to be attacked again, the collapsing emotions make me lose control, and I instinctively swing my arm in the direction of the incoming fireballs, the black dust like a giant python that devours the sky and earth, accompanied by a blue-green flash, sweeps forward.
The incoming fireballs are instantly devoured upon contact with the black smoke, unable to cause even the slightest hindrance, and continue to speed towards the knights.
Seeing this, the knights on the opposite side seem to panic. The leading knight shouts again, trying to respond to the situation, but the speed of the black serpent is too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it engulfs the left flank of the team.
The screams stop as soon as they start, and all the people touched by the black smoke immediately emit white smoke from their bodies, making a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound, and are quickly corroded to nothing, along with their armor turning to ash.
A trail of pale white smoke rises from where the knights perished, swiftly absorbed into the dense smoke, which then quickly retreats back into my body.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
As the black smoke returns, a white mist rises from my body. I immediately feel something surge within me, similar to the sensation when I was in the black liquid, but much more intense. My entire body is stimulated as if in a climax, the excitement uncontrollable, and I tremble uncontrollably. I can clearly feel that every aspect of my body's functions has risen to a new level, this extreme pleasure is irresistible.
I feel as if I've been injected with a stimulant, wanting to vent, to vent! To destroy everything I can see!
"Ah—woo!"
The exhilaration had just risen when it was immediately extinguished by a severe headache, fading away like the tide, and a flood of information fragments poured into consciousness.
What… what is this? What have I done?
Ah—my head hurts so much…
The brain-splitting pain made me slightly sober, and I realized what I had just done.
Are those people dead? Did I kill them?
No, it wasn't me, how could I do such a thing!
"%￥%￥#￥…" The knight leader opposite was loudly proclaiming, still in an incomprehensible language.
The headache tormented me so much that I couldn't concentrate. I held my head with both hands, and unconsciously let out a beast-like low moan, and the chaotic information kept jumping into my mind.
In a daze, I vaguely saw the old man in the golden robe on the right, holding the badge on his chest, and as he whispered softly, a golden light appeared on his body, as dazzling as the sun, and in an instant, it enveloped the knight legion.
The blinding light did not last long, and a thin layer of golden film appeared on the knights. With a thunderous military order from the leading knight, a thousand knights, accompanied by a new round of fiery rain, let out a high-pitched and excited shout, rushing towards me like a flood breaking through a dam.
"【Abyssal Language】Why! Why attack me——!"
Facing the rolling fire rain and the tide of the army, the pain, anger, fear, grievance, and extreme confusion and misunderstanding in my heart were infinitely magnified, rushing to my head.
"Roar——!!" An angry roar shook the sky and the earth, and I frantically waved my arms at the knights rushing towards me, and the black smoke rushed out again, turning into countless black snakes, converging and merging above the charging knights, condensing into a huge black flame with a sinister white light, and smashing down with a bang.
"Boom——!"
A huge explosion sounded in the middle of the army tide, and the black tongues of flame instantly swallowed countless knights, stirring up even more dazzling white light, rendering the area of hundreds of meters around like a white night.
I was a bit stunned, the headache eased a little, but the fact that I had just killed hundreds of lives again was hard to accept for a while.
As the black smoke from the explosion still wandered on the battlefield, taking away several lives every second.
The surviving knights rushed towards me even more crazily, their shouts mixed with hysterical despair, constantly closing the distance with me. I even saw an emotion called hatred in their bloodshot eyes.
Why? Why hate me?
What did I do wrong again?
"【Abyssal Language】No… it's not me, I didn't… it was you who started it… I don't want to kill you…"
Just when I was at a loss and wanted to run away, the black smoke returned. I was immediately occupied by that intense ** and crazy emotions, and my body uncontrollably trembled.
Ah——hahaha… how delightful!
Why, you weak ants, why do you hurt me unreasonably!
"Roar——!!!"
I couldn't stop a long cry, and my body acted before my consciousness, pulling and releasing like a cannonball, dragging a long black smoke tail, and smashing towards the enemy that was rushing over.
"Boom——!"
Limbs and broken arms were thrown high into the air the moment I landed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and before they fell, they could no longer be called life. The strong smell of blood made me nauseous, and half of a knight's body fell in front of my eyes, I saw the last expression of horror frozen on his face.
"Roar——! !" I slapped the half of the knight's body away with a palm, and I roared, black smoke burst out from my body, and the smoke snakes quickly circled around me, devouring the knights who rushed up to besiege me.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that these knights, or rather, these humans, were only tall enough to reach my thighs.
Heh, it turns out I'm not the same kind as them.
So what am I, a Demon King?
No, I am… a terrible monster.
Swinging arms, reaping, the situation has no possibility of turning back, entering a one-sided slaughter. Any knight who entered my line of sight would be swept by my arm the next second, broken into two.
The black smoke snakes wreaked havoc on the battlefield, and the pale white light smoke kept pouring into my body. Before long, a mountain of corpses piled up under my feet, and the originally lush meadow was no longer green, stained with the bright red of blood.
Disgusting.
So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting.
Please stop…
Just stop already.
Don't kill anymore…
Suddenly, I felt a heaviness in my body, followed by a wave of dizziness.
In the distance, the robed elder clasped his hands in front of his chest, his body once again radiating golden light, his eyes filled with an inviolable majesty.
The next moment, I felt as if I were being crushed by a massive stone, my body extraordinarily heavy, my movements instantly sluggish, even breathing became difficult. The intense dizziness made me nauseous, and I vomited a stream of black mist.
A beam of golden light rained down, and with difficulty, I raised my head to look up, only to see a huge golden bell suspended high above.
