For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 159 Dragon and Mist

   Time goes back a few minutes.

  In the cabin of the battleship, outside the captain's room door, the two guards who were guarding the door heard the harsh sound of hinges rubbing behind them.

   "Squeak, kakaka..."

   A girl with long chestnut hair pushed the door open a crack and stuck out her head.

   She stared at the two guards outside the door with her eyes as clear as the bright moon, chewing a piece of horseshoe cake in her hand.

   "Miss Diana, what's the matter?"

   When one of the guards saw this, he hurriedly walked over and saluted.

   She put down the horseshoe cake in her hand, looked up at the direction of the deck, and the two guards followed her and set their sights there.

   "Is something wrong?"

   After watching for a while, nothing appeared, and the guard repeated the previous question.

  Diana slowly swallowed the pastry in her mouth after hearing the words, and then kept her previous unwavering tone and asked:

   "Is the situation on the deck okay?"

   Hearing this question, although it was unclear what the specific situation was, the guard replied in a soothing tone:

   "Don't worry, it's just a group of ordinary pirates..."

   But before the guard finished speaking, the girl named Diana continued to ask:

   "Are you sure it's a pirate?"

   This question made the other party nervous.

   In the early years, in order to encourage the Imperial Navy to take the initiative to eradicate pirates, the Royal Family of Riel promulgated the Anti-Piracy Law, which stipulated that after defeating pirates, the navy could keep 70% of the spoils of pirates looting as its own budget.

   However, it is legal and legal for the Imperial Navy to loot pirates, but looting smuggling ships is not.

   Of course, because of the lack of effective regulation of this Act, plus the fact that the Navy is monolithic. In the past, there were a lot of cases of killing the good and taking advantage of the good, and the Imperial Navy used smuggling ships and even regular merchant ships to loot and loot as pirates. Until later, the royal family came forward to establish the Imperial Shipping Company, and private merchant ships could receive official protection after paying expensive registration fees.

  The Star Council equips each merchant ship registered with the shipping company with a "recorder" inscribed with the [Reverberation] spell as a sign and warning to prevent "accidental injury" by the navy. Until then, the Imperial Navy's harassment of ordinary merchant ships was greatly reduced.

   "Of course they are pirates..."

   Quickly pondering how he should make the current situation clear, the guard said slowly.

   But what Diana said next made the words that he had managed to organize in his mind instantly become fragmented.

   "I mean... I just felt an extremely huge magic power appearing over there, but ordinary pirates shouldn't be at this level, right? Could it be a strong man from the high elves?"

   After Diana finished speaking, she threw the remaining small piece of horseshoe cake into her mouth, patted the crumbs in her hand, and pushed the door completely open.

   "Extremely huge magic power?"

   Another guard asked curiously:

   "How huge is that?"

  Diana did not answer the other party's question. After swallowing the cake, her eyes lost focus for a moment, and then she said like a dream:

   "And dragons, and mists..."

   The two guards looked at each other, a little unsure how they should deal with the situation in front of them.

   This girl named Diana is a "God Revealer" certified by the Eighth Order.

   The Eighth Holy Spirit, as the only Holy Spirit in the Church of the Holy Spirit who has been on the Heavenly Throne by mortals, is now the only object of worship of the Personality God that is officially allowed to exist in the Empire. And since the birth of its religion, there have been people who claim that they can hear the teachings of the Eighth Holy Spirit, and some even arrogantly claim that they are the new generation of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

   Those who claimed to be reincarnated were naturally suppressed by the royal family as rebels. However, among the former, a very small number of people have been certified by the church and become so-called "God enlighteners". On the one hand, they are the "messengers" responsible for delivering the Holy Spirit's oracles, and on the other hand, they are the "Holy Grails" that carry the power of the Holy Spirit and walk in this world.

   In formal occasions the diviners are addressed, even prefixing their name with "holy".

   And this girl in front of me is such an existence.

   Although the two of them are not believers in the Eighth Holy Spirit, they are not even devout believers in the Church of the Holy Spirit. But they didn't dare to neglect the words spoken by people in the capacity of divine enlighteners.

   Especially when the other party suddenly fell into a trance state—God knows if it was her own words, or it was an oracle issued by the Eighth Holy Spirit through her mouth.

   "Miss Diana... What did you mean by dragon and mist just now?"

   One of them couldn't help asking.

   His question brought Diana out of her trance, and she replied:

   "The Dragon and the Mist, literally the Dragon and the Mist."

   said, Diana walked over to the simple wooden stairs.

   "Miss Diana!"

   Two guards subconsciously stopped in front of her.

   Previously, they were tasked with making sure the captain was here before she returned.

  The captain's behavior is very clear to them. If it is because they did not take good care of this divine enlightener, they mess up his private affairs, and then they will definitely let the two of them take a springboard.

   "There is danger outside."

   Seeing that the two of them were not ready to give way, Diana said while taking the bronze-colored holy holy emblem from her neck.

   "What's the danger? The power of the high elves you just said?"

   asked the guard.

   The other party shook his head.

   "No, it's the dragon, and the mist."

   she replied.

   In this regard, the two guards felt absurd.

   Since the time of Terra I, how many years have there been no dragons in the entire Vic continent?

"Roar!"

   But before they could say the words, a roar that made their hearts freeze and blood coagulate came from not far away. The sound scared them to the point where their legs almost went weak and they sat on the ground.

  Longwei…

  Although they had never seen a dragon, they knew from many legends that a creature named a dragon could stun all creatures around it with a terrifying roar.

   On the other hand, Diana pushed the two of them away as if nothing was wrong with the roar that contained Longwei, and then rushed up the stairs.

  …

   I can't attack my master?

   Feeling the consciousness of the black dragon, William was a little stunned for a moment.

   This black dragon is the product of William's use of the God-level illusion [Shadow of Reality]. As for the master, the only master of this black dragon is himself.

  When did the short woman on that ship become its owner?

  Thinking of this, William tried to control the black dragon to breathe out on the sea around the warship, and the other party did so almost immediately.

   The flames entwined with the pitch-black curse swept across the calm sea level, and a hissing sound of boiling sounded, and almost instantly, the surrounding of the imperial warship was shrouded in a dense layer of mist.

   Seeing this, William immediately ordered the black dragon to turn its head and spit the flames onto the warship. As a result, it stopped at the moment when the flame breath was about to touch the hull.

   What the hell?

  William looked up again at the woman on the opposing ship.

   At this moment, the woman seemed to have relieved her breath. She slowly walked to the side string position, still holding the bronze-colored metal plate high in her hand.

   A metal plate with the holy symbol of the dragon sword.

   Looking at it this way, the thing in her hand really looks like a pair of Holy Spirit iron cards that she uses as a response terminal.

   Holy Spirit Kane's trumpet holy emblem and Holy Spirit Tyra's dragon sword holy emblem, the Eighth Order called them two sides of one body of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

  Thinking of this, William tried to order the black dragon to breathe fire on the Whalebone.

   I cannot attack my master.

   The same will appeared in his mind.

  His...could that be the reason?

Thinking of a certain possibility, William took out an unused iron card from his pocket and threw it into the sea, and then used a long-range spell to summon a tidal samurai in the sea, causing it to sweep the iron card to a few hundred meters. In addition, he continued to order the black dragon to breathe flames towards the sea area.

   The black dragon still refused his order.

   and for the same reason.

I see…

  William suddenly realized.

   In the game, any summoned unit - whether it is summoned by summoning spells, undead spells, or illusion spells - any summoned creature will not attack its summoner.

   That is to say, for these summons, their real masters are those holy symbols.

   At this moment, William's body, which was far away from the Viper's Scar, took out a response terminal from the storage space and threw it on the ground, and then used it as a medium to summon a most basic [Wolf Spirit].

   "Attack me."

  William said to the blue translucent giant wolf in front of him.

   Hearing the order, the wolf spirit rushed towards William unceremoniously, the razor-sharp teeth in its mouth straight to William's throat.

"Snapped."

   The moment it was about to hit William, William snapped his fingers gloomily.

The summoning technique of   【Wolf Spirit】was instantly lifted by him, and in the blink of an eye, the ghostly giant wolf turned into countless dark blue light spots and dissipated in mid-air.

   Those summoned through the holy emblem, their master is not William Kane himself.

  William doesn't believe this is just a feature of summon type spells.

   In other words, when you release the spell with the holy emblem of the Eighth Holy Spirit, although the magic power is produced by yourself, and the weaving of the spell is also your responsibility, but the actual release subject is the illusory "Eighth Holy Spirit"?

   In this way, the reliability of the eighth Holy Spirit power for him would be a big question mark.

   At the very least, the dragon sword holy emblem in the opponent's hand can also play a role. It is the first time that he has truly proved that he is not the only one possessing the authority of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

   It seems that the development of the power of the Holy Spirit still has to be a long-term plan...

   thought William.

   It is true that the power of the complete Holy Spirit is strong, and William has deeply experienced it in the ending of the waning moon.

  The waning moon ending is also known as the Gundam ending among players. In that ending, the protagonist chose to gather the beliefs of the seven holy spirits to build a body of the holy spirit incarnation to meet the king of nothingness under the condition that it is hopeless to close the lunar rift.

  The king of dead blood, the devil of ruins, the monarch of mad power.

These three symbolize war, destruction, and **** respectively. The most powerful nihilistic king. After stepping into the world, he was beaten like a dog by the protagonist driving the incarnation of the power of the seven holy spirits. In the end, other nihilistic kings came to the rescue one after another. , so that the three gods rolled and crawled back to the moon realm.

  Although this plot is only a broadcast after the decision is made, and the blood bar of the Void King is still not visible, according to what was mentioned in the later discussion of this ending, the three Void Kings have thus far suffered injuries that cannot be healed by eternal life. William estimated that if they stayed in this world for a few more minutes, it would probably be no problem to be directly killed by the incarnation of the Holy Spirit.

   But the problem is, the price.

   In order to prevent himself from turning into a new disaster after using this power that mortals cannot control, the protagonist in the ending of the lunar eclipse is constantly burning his soul to fight. After the battle, the protagonist also became a vegetative person who did not respond to the outside world because his soul burned out.

   can only say that this is justified as a means of perishing together.

   And now, finally, there is a power that seems to be safe to use, but it has proved that it is still not so reliable, and it can be regarded as pouring a basin of cold water on himself.

  William thought of this, and immediately manipulated the mirror on the whalebone, picked up the response terminal hanging on his chest, and tried to break it. However, the moment he planned to do so, the fingertips of the mirror avatar lost strength.

   "Stop praying, and take this opportunity to rouse the gust of wind to get rid of the opponent's pursuit. It seems that fog is about to form around."

  Captain Hobbs patted William's shoulder sharply.

  From his point of view, William had previously stood in place and closed his eyes in silence, and then picked up the iron card on his chest and brewed his emotions in silence. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was praying.

   When William heard the words, he opened his mouth slightly. He originally planned to explain something, but after hesitating again and again, he finally closed his mouth.

   However, before he could start the next move, the vision reappeared.

  As Captain Hobbes said, the surroundings began to fog up.

  I don’t know when it started, and a fog began to fill the entire ocean.

   Previously, William thought that he was letting the water mist from the black dragon spewing flames to the sea disperse, so he didn't care too much. But in just a minute or two, a thick layer of fog filled the entire sea.

   It was as if the surrounding sea water was evaporating, and the fog surrounding the ship was getting thicker and thicker. After a few breaths, William couldn't see the outline of the imperial battleship not far away even with the [Eagle Eye Technique].

  William ordered the black dragon to spit flames into the sky to indicate his position, and then a very faint pillar of fire illuminated the distant location - the flame from the Whalebone looked faint like a candle flickering in a storm.

   "That's not right... Usually, there is such a big fog only when we are approaching Awa Continent. But it's still a four or five day trip."

   Captain Hobbs muttered to himself in confusion.

  William has not been to Awa, after all, there is no map of Awa in the game - it is said that there was a plan for DLC, but it was cut off due to insufficient budget.

   However, William is not completely ignorant of Awa, in addition to reading many books introducing the customs of Awa. He also always listened to his partner, Remedios, who has the title of "Ranger", and talked about his hometown more than once.

  Awa, also known as the foggy country.

  It is said that whenever an alien ship is about to enter the range of Ava, the fog will appear around the alien. If the visitor is a friend, the fog will automatically dissipate, but if it is an enemy, the terrifying existence in the fog will engulf them.

  What is the terrifying existence in the mist William has never seen or heard any specific description, but right now he feels that it must be a very powerful existence.

   Because a few seconds ago, he felt that the black dragon he embodied disappeared.
