Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1321: Alice

"Is it alright?"

Laura, who had returned to her normal state, looked at Alan. The latter stood beside Blue Devil and smiled as she waved her hand, so Laura walked back. In front of her, Bai and Belmord supported Hubble left and right, and Trisley had long since returned to the city. Apart from the Fire Horned Demon dragging the corpses of the dead spiders and other spiders into the distance, there was no one else.

Except for Ellen and Blue Devil.

Blue Devil coughed in his hat and said, "Why did you let Yami go? With the speed of your final blow to Luci, she can't escape if you want to kill Yami."

Alan thrust the Anthem of Shatter to the ground and looked up into the sky. "As far as I know, there are no characters like you in the Wilderness. Those big shots won't work with Luci, so I guess you're one of hers."

"She?"

"The woman mentioned in the Book of Roddy, isn't she?"

Blue Devil said in a solemn tone, "What's hers? That's Lord Alice!"

'"So her name is Alice" Allen nodded. "It seems that I'm not mistaken. I've seen your Lord Alice before. I suppose this spatial fault was also created by your Lord, right?"

"That's the curtain of time. It can seal off the entire realm, making it impossible for the Lost Realm to enter or exit." '"You should be honored. Lord Alice has decided that you are the target of this hunt. Apart from Blue Devil and me, other generals will also be targeting you " Yami's voice was filled with pride.

Alan waved his hand and interrupted him, "I'm not interested in being your prey, nor am I willing to be your enemy. But don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid, I just don't need to."

'"Originally, because of the existence of this spatial fault, I intended to go deeper into the Realm of the Forgotten. However, there is no need now. I will leave this place very soon. Thus, I let go of your companion and did not kill you. I just hope that your lord will understand that it is not beneficial to be my enemy." Alan frowned. "I've only seen her once. There's no hatred between us. If she's still pestering me, don't blame me for being impolite."

Blue Devil laughed, "Young man, do you think you can survive until now if Master really wants to kill you?" The so-called hunting carnival is nothing more than an entertainment program for adults. At the same time, it is also used to temper us generals. Furthermore, let's not talk about whether you can defeat the lord. "Even if you can, do you think you can leave the Realm of the Forgotten by relying on your own abilities without Lord's consent?"

Ellen did not laugh and said indifferently, "If it was yesterday, I really wouldn't have been able to do it. Now, I can."

His tone was calm, as if he was describing only one fact.

Then, he stretched out his hands and grabbed it, and the Shattering Hymn that was inserted into the ground beside him fell into his hand. Alan raised his hand and drew, but nothing seemed to have happened. Although the Blue Devil's head was in the hat, there were two bright blue lights in the shadows. This general was also looking at the sky. It wasn't until a moment later that thunder rumbled in the air. The screen of light interweaved with various colors suddenly split apart, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible blade, and a crisscrossed crack appeared. On the other side of the crack, one could see the sky and sunlight outside.

After a few seconds, the cracks closed again and the curtain of time returned to normal.

However, Blue Devil was speechless.

This was something that had never happened before. A human was actually able to cut open the curtain of time, so the sealing off of the Forgotten Realm was meaningless to him.

'"You see, your blockade is no longer working on me. I hope that your lord will stop pestering me. I believe she should know that it won't do me any good. Then, can you go back on your own?" Ellen said quietly as she put away the devil's praise from her waist and looked at the blue devil on the ground.

"I..."

Blue Devil was about to speak when he suddenly trembled. Alan also sensed a vast will surging from the west of the snowfield. He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Looks like your lord has come by himself."

Above their heads, the light screen began to distort, gradually forming a female face. It was the woman Alan had seen at that time, as well as Alice, the master of the Nethercastle whom Blue Devil served!

Alice did not kiss him, only her will descended here. Blue Devil struggled to get up. The huge woman's face on the screen slowly said, "Lie there, Blue Devil, or I'll really take your life."

Only then did Blue Devil obediently lie motionless.

Alice then "looked" at Alan with an elegant smile on her huge face, "To be honest, you've given me many surprises. Not only does your aura resemble his, it can even cut through the curtain of time. What should I call you, mighty human, you have the qualifications to let me remember your name."

'"Miss Alice, I think this game is over. As I said to your family just now, there is no point in fighting between you and me at all." Allen said straightforwardly, adding his name, "Miss Alice, I think this game is over."

"That's because you don't know my identity and origins. In my opinion, it means more than you believe in CUHK."

Ellen frowned. "Do you want to continue fighting?"

"No, on the contrary." 'I'd like to invite you to meet me,' said Alice coolly. 'Alan Blue Devil will bring you to see me. I have a lot to say to you. And I'll give you a big present.'

"What gift?"

Alice pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'll see when you get here."

"What if I don't go? Are you going to start the war again?" Allen laughed.

"No, you will come." 'I know what you are, young Son of Twilight,' said Alice, shaking her head. 'It looks like you haven't fully awakened yet.'

Alan's smile stiffened, and then he bitterly smiled, "What's wrong? It's as if everyone knows about the Son of Twilight now."

"Actually, many people don't know. Well, are you interested in meeting me now?"

"I know that if I don't go, you have plenty of means to send me to your door. Since that's the case, why don't I be generous?"

"I'm glad you said that." 'You can bring some companions, but not too many,' said Alice cheerfully. 'You can rest assured, I suppose. Besides, to show my sincerity, I'll remove the curtain of time later. If you want to go back on your word, I won't stop you from leaving.'

"I look forward to meeting you soon."

With these last words, the face on the screen gradually disappeared, and Alice's will quickly disappeared. After her will completely disappeared into the depths of the Realm of the Forgotten, the mysterious changes in the sky gradually faded away, until the sky returned to its previous dim state.

As expected, Alice removed the curtain of time.

Alan looked at the dim sky and was somewhat distracted. A moment later, he looked at Blue Devil and said, "You can still bring me back with you like this?"

"Of course I can. I just have to pay a price." Blue Devil's body suddenly twitched. After maintaining this state for nearly a minute, his arm gradually lost its luster and turned into a gray trunk. Then something drilled out of the hat, first a few blue tentacles, they rolled on the ground, pulling out a strange creature.

It looked like it was stuffing a brain into a jellyfish. Under that translucent membrane, one could see a blue brain, and every groove on it was incomparably clear. Below, there was a cluster of whiskers, from the root to the end of the whisker. The color of the whiskers gradually changed from transparent to dark blue. At this moment, the jellyfish-like thing raised its head and rolled its two blue eyes. Then, the Blue Devil's voice rang in Alan's mind, "This body is no longer usable. You have to give me a new body. No need to live, a corpse is fine, but you can't die for too long."

Alan had a completely new understanding of life on Agares. When he found Luci's subordinate, the corpse of the expert named Landor. At this moment, Blue Devil, who looked like a jellyfish, drilled into Lando's corpse's mouth. Then, Lando's mouth continuously emitted some green and blue liquid. A moment later, Lando's skin began to turn transparent and blue. Finally, he rolled his eyes tightly. Seeing those blue eyes, Alan knew that Blue Devil had been reborn.

He stood up, moved his body slightly, and pressed the broken joints back into place. He used his muscles to bind them, and then said, "This body is a bit worse than before, but it's barely usable."

Looking at the newly born Blue Devil, Alan had an indescribable strange feeling. He had seen many strange creatures, but this was the first time he had seen such a fragile Blue Devil that he could use a parasitic method to obtain the life of an expert's body.

"Then, when do you plan to leave?" Blue Devil asked.

"Tomorrow."

Blue Devil nodded and sat down in the snow, "I'll wait for you here."

The Curtain of Time in the Land of the Forgotten Realm suddenly rose and retreated even more suddenly.

Almost as soon as the Curtain of Time was removed, Sbernak, who was in Demoic Ring City, immediately sensed it. The Dark Shadow Hall was now empty and cold. Ever since the curtain of time rose that day, Sbernak had forbidden anyone from entering the hall. This relieved all the officials in Shadow Castle, big and small, as well as a beautiful woman. At the very least, they didn't have to worry about suddenly dying in the Dark Shadow Hall one day.

At this moment, the shadow-like Demon King was standing by the narrow window of the hall. Even though the rarely seen sunlight outside the window fell on the edge of the window, it was as if it was blocked by an invisible wall, unable to extend into the hall inside the window at all, let alone onto Sbernak. The Demon King, who did not show his appearance, only stretched out a palm that was wearing ferocious black iron gloves and placed it on the window edge. He bent his finger and lightly tapped the sharp finger tip that was as sharp as a claw.

The Demon King did not say anything. His thoughts were as deep as the shadows in the hall. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
