Cornes stood there, stunned for a long time. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for this companion.

Although they had been intrigued for hundreds of years before that, when Kenoy really died, he felt empty in his heart.

However, as the new Demon King, he should not have such pitiful thoughts, so he immediately interrupted his thoughts and decided to deal with the intruder first.

Elena also sensed it. Looking towards the dark staircase, terrifying ice crystals condensed in her hands again.

However, the next moment, she noticed something strange, because she was about to crush the ice crystals in her hands and let the tiny dust-like fragments fill the air, but the fragments recovered instead.

She couldn't understand it for a moment, but Cornes had seen this trick once, so he immediately reminded her daughter.

"Don't fight them head-on. Just retreat when you find an opportunity."

"..."

Elena glanced at him, seeming to be hesitating.

Although Cornes can understand her desire to realize her self-worth, she has no substitute and cannot be resurrected once she dies. This is Cornes' only daughter, not to mention that she will have a more important use in the future.

So, he used teleportation magic to force Elena to a safe place.

"Then, I will personally meet you ants."

Cornes smiled arrogantly. He was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to show off his newly acquired power, but he didn't expect these people to actually come here without knowing the truth.

A few seconds later, Emil and others arrived at the ground floor hall of the stronghold.

At this time, the white dragon also came in. Due to his huge size, Alice had to turn him into a human form.

He is indeed an old man, wearing a white robe, tall and tall, and looks quite noble.

In fact, Bailong's time magic has a range and can affect an area of ​​almost twenty meters around it.

Just now, Emil wanted to test the reality of the hall on the ground floor, so he asked Bailong to release the magic in advance.

At this time, seeing that Cornes was the only one in the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had discussed the countermeasures outside, he was still afraid of the Demon King, so he became nervous ever since he entered the Demon Clan's stronghold. Coupled with the violent shaking just now, he almost thought the sky was going to collapse.

Facing this empty hall, he guessed that the Demon King should have left. As for Cornes, he was controlled by the white dragon not long ago and was then beaten by a group of them. He still vividly remembered the scene.

However, this was just his wishful thinking after all, because he soon discovered that the terrifyingly powerful magic traces came from Cornes.

"Hey, long time no see, young man." Cornes stared at Emil and smiled maliciously.

"Bah, stop talking nonsense and bring my sister back!" Seeing that he wanted to talk nonsense again, Alice yelled angrily.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties had reached this point, Emil could not retreat and had to force himself to speak calmly.

"Kenes, we are here for no other reason than to get Lilith back. To be honest, we don't want to fight you now. Although we don't know when you gained such a powerful power, you can't stand it in front of the white dragon.

It’s useless. Since fighting to the death is not beneficial to both parties, then we might as well take a step back, what do you think?”

"Huh?"

Cornes was surprised. He didn't expect that Emil would dare to negotiate terms with him at this time. He didn't know that the other party was too stupid, so he didn't understand his situation, or he was deliberately bluffing.

To be on the safe side, he used his magic perception, and was finally sure that the combined magic power of these people was not as good as his, so he could only think that Emil didn't understand his situation.

However, he was in no mood to explain the situation to these people now. He had to devour Lilith as soon as possible, and then just let them experience it for themselves.

So, he condensed dozens of black flames in his hands, and then threw them at Emil.

These black flames have built-in tracking capabilities and will never go out unless they burn the enemy to ashes.

Naturally, Bailong would not let him succeed, and immediately released the magic of reversing time, and this effect would only affect Cornes.

Immediately afterwards, all the black flames flew back to Cornes' hands. In the process, all of Cornes' actions became slow motion.

"Let me go first." Alice said and rushed out.

Nowadays, Cornes has become a burly figure and wears heavy armor, but no matter how strong the defense is, it is useless in front of the iron fist of this dragon princess.

That punch hit Cornes' head, not only smashing his helmet to pieces, but also shattering his head and splitting his brain.

At this time, Cornes' movements became quite slow even when he was attacked. Alice took the opportunity to add a few more punches, completely shattering his body.

When Emil saw this scene, although he wanted to believe that Cornes had been killed and Lilith would no longer be in danger, his reason told him that everything seemed to be going too smoothly.

Sure enough, when the effect of reversing time ended, although Cornes turned into a puddle of meat, his body recovered instantly without physical support. This self-healing ability simply surpassed that of the Demon King.

Seeing this, Emil suddenly understood why Cornes exuded traces of magic similar to that of the Demon King, because he had probably taken away the Demon King's power.

So, what they are facing now is equivalent to the Demon King himself, no, even more powerful than the original Demon King.

Just when Emil felt scared, Ophelia patted him on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.

"Emil, our lives are entrusted to you, you must not back down."

"...Well, I understand." Emil nodded solemnly.

After all, the countermeasures he just proposed outside were to deal with the situation of facing the devil directly.

In short, he wanted White Dragon to continuously reverse time, and he would be responsible for recovering his physical strength after it was exhausted, thus forcing the Demon King to have no power to fight back, and finally had to agree to let Lilith go.

At this time, although Cornes showed the power to surpass the Demon King, he had no chance to attack, so the current situation did not deviate from Emil's expectations.

"White Dragon, Alice, don't waver, continue the offensive."

Emil concentrated on the command, and then monitored the status of the white dragon at any time to prevent any flaw due to exhaustion of physical strength.

In this way, Cornes was indeed controlled to death. He could only rely on his self-healing ability to maintain his life, but at the same time, it also consumed a lot of physical strength. If he continued like this, he would be exhausted sooner or later.

Although he knew very well that the same was true for Emil and White Dragon, his final situation would be even more dangerous because the other two dark knights had also sensed the disappearance of the Demon King and would definitely come here to confirm the situation.

Moreover, some powerful human magicians should have noticed the Demon King's awakening, and they are also likely to follow the traces of magic and come here.

Now it seems that his only choice is to agree to the emir's request.

Then, after a certain time-reversing effect ended, he recovered his body, and then quickly signaled Emil to stop.

However, Alice's fist didn't stop for a moment and hit him on the head. He thought he could negotiate, so he was completely unprepared.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't stop it." Alice scratched her head without any apology at all.

"It's okay, he can recover anyway." Emil said in a cold tone.

Afterwards, Cornes recovered from his injuries, and in order to show his sincerity in compromising, he didn't care too much.

"Okay, okay, Emil, I promise you I'll go to the head office."

Cornes said helplessly, and then used magic to summon Lilith.

Seeing that Lilith was safe and sound, Alice was overjoyed and immediately rushed over to remove the iron cage holding her.

"Wait a minute, you have to promise not to release that kind of magic again." Cornes waved his hand, and Lilith disappeared.

"Tsk," Alice said impatiently, "Do you think we are the same as you? I haven't asked you to promise not to play tricks."

"Huh, if that's the case, there's no need to discuss it. You can continue. Anyway, in the end, your energy will be exhausted before mine.

"Wait a minute, Cornes, the person in charge here is Emil. Shouldn't you negotiate terms with him first?" Ophelia reminded timely.

"Haha, that's true. I don't have the same knowledge as this kind of thing." Cornes dismissed Alice.

In fact, the reason why he said this was because he saw that Alice was impatient and had a bad temper. This kind of person could not bear to be scorned by others.

However, his little plan failed. Alice did not show anger or argue with Ophelia.

At this time, Emil spoke.

"Kenes, I can guarantee that as long as you return Lilith to us, we will leave directly. If you don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do."

Cornes hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and this time he directly released the human form of Lilith from the cage.

Alice rushed over and pulled her sister over, and then the two sides formed a confrontation again.

"What? Do you want to break your promise?" Cornes asked loudly.

"That's not true, it's just that you demons have always been known for being insidious and cunning, so we have to be careful."

"Hmph, you have the ability to reverse time, what else can I do?" Cornes spread his hands and continued, "Emil, if you really abide by the agreement, then get out with your subordinates.

, otherwise be careful and I will regret it.”

However, Alice stood up and said.

"Emil, this guy has no power to fight back against White Dragon's magic, why not take this opportunity..."

But Emil did not agree, because with their current abilities they simply could not kill Kones, and if they continued to stay here, they would most likely be plotted by Kones.

"Let's go back." Emil said softly.

"But, we finally got him to compromise, so let's just forget it?" Alice didn't give up.

At this time, Ophelia stood up to persuade her.

"Alice, you should know very well that you are the most powerful among us. We fought him just now. Do you really think you have the ability to kill him?"

For this reason, Alice had to agree with Emil's decision. In fact, she just didn't want to admit it. After all, Cornes could kidnap Lilith today and he could do the same in the future. Only by killing him can he avoid future troubles forever.
