Chapter 183 Invitation from the Demon King
"Ravenna?" Louis looked at the other person's appearance and dressed again, remembering who this person was: "Snow White's stepmother?"
"Oh? Do you know me?" The surprise on Ravenna's face flashed: "That's already his identity, and now I am not someone's stepmother."
Louis found that this time the situation was very wrong, and it was completely different from the enemy he encountered before.
The various enemies I encountered before had almost no IQ. Those monsters just wanted to rush up and kill them, and what they had to do was very simple, just destroy those guys.
But Lavena kept talking in front of Louis, introducing her identity and saying that she was different from her past... What is the difference?
As if seeing through Louis's thoughts, Ravenna spread her hands slightly, and the black skirt decorated with golden feathers was like a deep night sky with starlight hanging, as if she could swallow everything.
After a moment of trance, his spirit woke up immediately. For no reason, Louis instantly realized Ravenna's true identity: "Are you the devil?"
"I knew that as a brave man, you will definitely know my identity." Lavena put down her spreading hands again, then turned to Louis's direction: "Just as I could know that identity."
"That?"
Ravenna smiled and did not continue on this topic. Instead, she waved her hand gently and opened the door of the wooden house in the distance: "That kind of indifferent thing is not the purpose of my visit here."
Louis's hand was already touching the storage belt, ready to take out his weapon and fight the devil at any time. The Force Sensation had been activated with all his strength. He soon discovered that the Lavena in front of him was not the devil himself.
"Classic? Projection?"
"That's right, this is just a clone of mine, waiting here for the arrival of the brave... What a pity, you didn't accept the bright future I arranged for you." While saying this, the ghostly Rachel had already floated to Ravenna. Looking at her expression, she probably didn't fly over voluntarily.
When she flew to Ravenna, Rachel was begging for mercy, saying that she had worked very hard and even if she failed to keep Louis in the dream, she was trying to make him accept him.
Ravenna just looked at Rachel, without any impatient expression on her face, but just said coldly: "I don't mind your failure, but you intend to betray me, that's another matter."
Regardless of Rachel's explanation, she made a fist with her left hand, and the floating Rachel instantly turned into a piece of blue smoke. The blue smoke soon enveloped Ravenna, and in a deep breath, she was all sucked into her body.
"A subordinate who is useless and only wants to run away has no need to stay! You think so, right? A young brave man."
"Yes."
Louis, who casually catered to him, can be seen from the actions Lavenna just now that even if she was just a clone, Lavenna in front of her was still an extremely powerful existence.
"You just mentioned the purpose of coming here? What is your purpose? Come and kill me?"
"Kill you? No! That would not do me any good." Lavena smiled slightly, her smile had a fatal attraction. Even Louis, who was already on guard, felt that his heartbeat had become abnormal and he finally returned to calm.
“I’m here to offer options for those who can come here.”
"choose?"
As the two of them talked, the people who were originally resting in the wooden house had already walked out, but in fact everyone noticed the abnormality. However, everyone was hiding in the wooden house to observe the situation. After finding that the situation was a bit strange, they walked outside to see what was going on.
Everyone heard the conversation between Louis and Lavenna, and they learned that this beautiful woman with noble temperament was the legendary demon king.
Kassel seemed to want to say something, but after being pulled down by Beckett, he swallowed what he wanted to say. This situation is not suitable for complaining. Who knows what the temper of this great devil has? If he is unhappy and kills himself in seconds, he can't even cry. They all saw how this great devil killed Rachel easily.
At this time, Ravenna was also looking at everyone, her eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped on Catherine: "Yes, a choice is just like what I experienced at the beginning."
He mentioned again that Louis could not ignore the information revealed in Lavenna's words. Combined with the fact that Lavenna is actually the legendary great devil, he already had some answers in his heart.
Lavenna's eyes returned to Louis: "I can tell you all clearly that such opportunities are not so easy to encounter."
"Since you said it was a choice, then you should tell me the option." Louis always maintained a position, and seemed to be standing there casually with his hands holding the belt. In fact, his feet were slightly staggered back and forth, and his right hand holding the belt could make a sword swing at any time. This is a standard fighting posture.
No matter how easy he is to act, facing the final boss... even if he is just a clone, he will not be able to relax his vigilance.
"The choice is to decide whether to become a servant who serves me." Lavenna suddenly released an extremely powerful spiritual pressure, and the terrifying pressure instantly pressed towards Louis.
If Louis hadn't been prepared for a long time, he would probably fail directly after responding in a hurry. If he had a little better, he would kneel in front of Lavenna. This might be the effect Lavenna wanted!
Louis, who was prepared, did not become so embarrassed, but he was not feeling well at this time. He forced his back to maintain a stance of his head and chest. The blue veins on his neck made him look a little embarrassed, but he didn't kneel down at least.
"Wow?" Ravenna took back the terrifying pressure: "Your performance is worthy of praise, which makes me want you even more... How about it? Should I choose to serve me? If I don't like the identity of a servant, the knight is also a choice... Your performance is worthy of this identity."
"The Demon King or the Witch's Knight? It sounds cool, but please allow me to refuse." Louis couldn't guess what the Demon King wanted to do. He would not agree to anything if he didn't know the other party's real purpose.
"it's a pity!"
Lavenna didn't care about Louis' rejection, and seemed not dissatisfied with it. She just said to everyone behind Louis: "Don't miss this rare opportunity..."
Then Ravenna slowly disappeared from everyone's sight and completely disappeared.
Louis was a little confused. Why did the demon king leave suddenly? Then he realized that the demon king didn't leave much power in this place. After releasing the spiritual pressure and saying these words, the power had been almost exhausted and could not continue to maintain the existence of the clone, so he naturally disappeared.
When the devil Lavena leaves, Louis seems to be able to breathe a sigh of relief. At least he doesn't have to start a war with the devil so early. Even if he has surpassed ordinary people, if he starts a war with the devil immediately, the ending will inevitably end with his crushing defeat and there will be no other ending.
The gap in strength is obvious. If you want to fulfill the mission of a brave man, he must become stronger.
Apart from this, the strangest thing about him was that Lavena kept talking about choices, but she seemed to have done nothing?
"No, maybe she was talking to everyone in a spiritual link..."
Even Ravenna can directly pull people's consciousness into the spiritual world, where they can communicate calmly, and for a long time in the spiritual world, only a moment has passed for the real world.
In this case, it means that there are a high probability that the group of teammates behind me, or all of them have reached some agreement with the Demon King.
“This is really bad.”
After reaching an agreement with the Demon King and becoming the Demon King’s subordinates, what will these people do? Kill yourself?
Even if they said they had not agreed to the Demon King's invitation, Louis would probably not be able to believe it completely, and at the same time, these people would not be able to continue to maintain their previous level of trust.
Ravenna did nothing, and just used a few words to make a small group that had finally formed a tacit understanding fall apart. She is really a famous devil.
Looking at everyone, the strange expressions on everyone's faces confirmed some of Louis' speculations. He sighed helplessly and did not immediately ask everyone whether they agreed to Lavenna's invitation, but just asked everyone to go back to the wooden house to rest first.
After entering the wooden house, everyone was still silent, and everyone was sitting there thinking about something.
It was Kassel who first broke the silence. Kassel, who usually seemed very unreliable, showed a serious look this time and said very seriously that he did not accept Lavenna's invitation.
"I have no interest in becoming a servant of the Demon King... Although many of the things she said really attracted me, I almost couldn't help but agree to her invitation..."
"Then why did you refuse?" Chrismas turned his head and looked at Kassel beside him. Kassel admitted that he was attracted by those conditions, at least proving that he had expressed his true thoughts.
"Because I can't leave my family." Kassel said his reasons. He couldn't let go of his daughter and mother: "I also know that Inspector Beckett will definitely not agree to be the subordinate of the Demon King, so..."
The seriousness that had been maintained for less than three minutes disappeared in an instant. Beckett rolled his eyes beside him, but she agreed with Kassel's words: "I really wouldn't choose to stand on the side of the Demon King, especially after confirming that this is a real Demon King."
Beckett knew from Louis that some of the devil's actions had hurt many innocent civilians, and even because of this just, the righteous Inspector Beckett would not agree to the devil's invitation.
