After a while, Emil and others left the demon stronghold. They retreated while guarding against Cornes' pursuit.

It wasn't until everyone returned to Blackpool Town that Emil could no longer sense traces of Cornes' magic power that they were temporarily relieved.

But just as Alice worries, if they don't find a way to kill Cornes, they will never be at peace.

Now that the White Dragon has the magic of reversing time, Emil is indeed not as worried as before, and the biggest difficulty next is how to solve the problem of Cornes being constantly resurrected.

Competing with him for physical strength, whoever runs out first will lose. This is the only effective way, and Cornes is also afraid of this.

If their combined physical strength and magic power were not comparable to that of Cornes, Emil would have chosen to continue the stalemate.

"Then what should we do next?" Alice finally couldn't help but ask.

After all, it would be outrageous to do nothing at this time and instead feel complacent about surviving for the time being.

"Don't worry, Alice, Emil will definitely find a way. Let's take a rest first." Ophelia comforted her.

Emil was grateful for this, because they were facing a demon king with unfathomable strength. If they didn't deal with it in the best condition, they would have no chance of winning.

However, he can also understand Alice's thoughts. After all, dragons are different from humans. They never know what fatigue is.

"...Okay then," Alice no longer pressed. She walked to the city gate and said to the others, "You should take the time to rest. I will stand guard."

Emil couldn't help but secretly lamented that this guy looked frizzy, but he didn't expect that his thoughts were quite delicate.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Emil said solemnly.

Afterwards, they entered the town together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Emil felt a very familiar trace of magic, and a burst of unexplained joy suddenly surged out of his heart, because he knew that Anne was back.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the hall of the city lord's mansion.

Emil noticed that there were three unfamiliar faces coming with Anne.

One is a woman who looks to be in her twenties and has an elegant temperament. The other is a woman of about the same age. She wears a pair of monocles and doesn't seem to pay much attention to her image. She has long brown hair and deep dark circles under her eyes.

The last one is obviously a little girl, but since she can come with Anne, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, they were planning to hold a combat meeting to deal with the Demon King's attack, or to defeat the Demon King.

Anne noticed Emil's gaze and took this opportunity to make an introduction.

"Let me introduce to you that they are members of Pandora's Box, the organization I belong to. This is Lusty Brewster, whose title is Blue Witch. As you can see, she is a nerd. Other than that, there is nothing special about her.

, and this one is very powerful, ranking second in strength among our seven witches, Charlotte Stuart, known as the Obsidian Witch..."

Anne paused here because she found that her sister had a surprised expression, and of course, so did Emile.

It was obvious that their last names were Stuart, who was very famous in the empire, which meant that, whether they knew each other or not, they were at least related.

Afterwards, Anne did not expand on this topic. After all, the situation was very urgent, so she continued.

"We will discuss the detailed situation later when we have time. Of course, the premise is that we can all survive. Although the last one is not a formal member of the organization, her strength exceeds that of most witches..."

Before Annie could finish speaking, the little girl showed a cheerful smile and stood up. Because the table was relatively high, she had to stand on a chair.

"Hello brothers and sisters, my name is Mi'er. I will try my best to help in the next battle, so please give me your advice in the future."

Her appearance was very much like the self-introduction of a child who had just entered school. It was not that Emil looked down upon her, he was just concerned about whether such a little girl could really participate in the battle against the Demon King.

Because many people present had magic power, Emil couldn't tell who these messy magic traces belonged to, so he didn't know Mi'er's strength.

Of course, Anne also knows that most people here don't believe in Mi'er's strength, but as long as she guarantees it, even Emil won't say anything more.

Next, Emil also introduced the situation of the others to the three newcomers, and then the meeting officially started.

The content of the meeting was very simple. They already had a way to control Cornes who had become the Demon King. All that was left was to decipher his amazing recovery ability.

At this time, Ophelia spoke, but she seemed to be questioning.

"Annie, didn't you say that all seven witches in your organization would participate in the battle against the Demon King? But in the end, none of your leaders showed up. What's going on?"

Sure enough, Anne looked embarrassed when she heard this, because she told Emil the same thing at the beginning, but now she has not fulfilled her promise. Although it is not her problem, she has to worry about it when faced with questioning.

Take responsibility.

"I'm really sorry." Annie lowered her head.

Mi'er on the side saw this and also apologized.

However, this made Ophelia feel embarrassed, and she had no intention of blaming Anne.

"No, you misunderstood. Actually, I want to say that since your leader didn't come, you might as well join our camp. Of course, this is only temporary. After the battle, it won't matter to everyone."

There is no doubt that if the Red Flame Witch Katerina were present, she would definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request. After all, she and Byron are also in a competitive relationship.

But Anne and the other two witches are different. The reason why they joined Pandora's Box in the first place was just to find a shelter from the world. They didn't have much obsession with the throne, and they didn't understand the importance of the throne.

The importance of Katerina.

So, the three witches made a decision after a short discussion. In fact, Anne had considered Katerina's opinion, but as an irresponsible revenge on the eldest sister, she didn't care so much.

"Of course, our goals are the same anyway."

"That's great. It seems that our beheading team has been assembled in no time." Ophelia clapped her hands excitedly.

At this time, Charlotte looked at Emil.

"Have you just fought against the Demon King? Tsk, tsk, you can actually come back alive. Your strength is indeed not simple."

"Everywhere, everything depends on Mr. Bailong, who can use the magic of reversing time." Emil explained with a smile.

Charlotte suddenly became interested, because her best magic was also to reverse time, but it could only affect things that happened within two minutes at most. She didn't expect that there would be a giant dragon who could do the same magic.

Afterwards, she began to have in-depth discussions with Bai Long. Basically, they were all theoretical topics. Emil couldn't understand a word. But what can be imagined is that they can make the time controlled by Cornes more interesting.

long.

"Ahem," the taciturn witch Lusti suddenly said, "By the way, have you ever heard of a legendary ore that can inhibit the self-healing ability of monsters?"

Of course, Emil knew best, so he responded to her.

"Of course, you should be talking about gold ore. I happen to have a sword here that is 100% made of gold ore."

After he finished speaking, he took out the holy sword he carried with him and handed it to Lesti through the table.

"oh?"

Lesti showed an expression of extreme surprise. She carefully took the holy sword, and then looked at it as if it were a priceless treasure, stroking it gently while observing it.

Emil thought to himself that this witch must like to collect treasures.

"That's amazing. By the way, Emil, where did you get it? Because as far as I know, gold ore is not something that humans can easily obtain, and even if it is obtained, it cannot be forged. According to legend, only elves know how to do it.

This kind of technology.”

At this time, in order to explain the situation to her, Ophelia took off her helmet. After all, there was no need to be secretive now.

When Lesti saw her appearance, she suddenly understood, but then she was a little disappointed.

"This sword does have the ability to kill the devil, but unfortunately, it has not awakened the power it deserves."

Emil naturally understood what she meant, but the problem now was that he could not place his hope on the illusory holy sword, so he had to find other ways to deal with the devil.

However, Lesti changed the subject.

"However, Emil, I have heard of a method that I don't know if it is reliable. Do you want to hear it?"

"What?"

Emil seemed to see hope again.

"Oh, Lesti, stop being so pretentious," Anne urged, "It's now time, no matter whether it's reliable or not, just bring it up."

"Well, Annie should have said it before. We at Pandora's Box have been collecting information related to the demon clan. According to some intermittent information, the four dark knights under the Demon King all have their own magic swords. These demons

Because the sword is mixed with gold ore, it can awaken autonomous consciousness, and their method is to sacrifice the most important person to them. In other words, the so-called autonomous consciousness is just integrating the soul of the sacrifice into the magic sword, and the sacrifice

There is a strong bond between Pin and the sword master, so he will naturally serve the sword master wholeheartedly."

"...That's it." Emil thought thoughtfully.

Although this method is indeed very reasonable, the cost is to sacrifice the most important person in him. There is no way Emil would do such a thing.

The moment he heard these words, Emil subconsciously thought of several people, Ophelia, Anne, or Lilith? He couldn't tell who was the most important, but even if he had the answer, he couldn't pay.

Implementations.

"Is this the only way?"

"I don't know the specific situation," Lesti shook her head, "To be honest, I can't confirm the authenticity of these information. Besides, you wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

She returned the holy sword to Emil, and then fell into silence, seemingly unable to think of any other way.

Next, other people also put forward their own ideas, but none of them were concrete and feasible, and the meeting reached a deadlock.

However, at this moment, an annoying horn sounded from the city gate.

Emil had previously arranged for reconnaissance personnel to issue warnings when danger approached. It was probably Kones who was chasing after him at this time.

However, Cornes was temporarily unable to break the white dragon's magic, and Emil couldn't figure out the reason for him to attack again.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look. Alice must be having a hard time."

So, everyone immediately rushed outside the city gate, and when they arrived, they discovered that what was coming was a large group of enemies. There were more than a hundred of them, and they all looked exactly like Cornes.
Chapter completed!
