Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 125 Aula's Last Meal

"I just want to rule the world with [Domination Magic] and make everyone my slaves—"

"Am I really that bad?!"

"Huh?! Answer me!"

"Why, why do I have to live like this?!"

Because of his fear of Simmel, he dared not even return to the castle, much less show his face.

Forced to hide in a secluded cave in the southern part of the Heavenly Dragon for a month, the violin-playing lady burst into tears from hunger.

In the days before the arrival of the Hero Squad

Although she was just as miserable, at least she had soft tree bark and fresh grass to eat...

But ever since those guys arrived...
She dared not even look at the sun and could only fill her stomach by eating dirt.

The most useless demon race proved the tenacity of demonic life through their own experience.
At the same time, it opened up a survival path that was unprecedented among the demon race—

Demons can survive not only by eating grass, but also by eating stones!

Our demon race has such outstanding genes!
"No, we can't keep going like this—"

Already emaciated and barely recognizable as a monster from hunger, Aura leaned weakly against the cave wall.
She weakly raised her hand.
After realizing that his magic power was almost completely depleted, he fell into utter despair.

"Although I can forcibly break down ores and soil into the energy my body needs using magic..."

"But this is far too inefficient, and my magic can't be restored in this state of extreme hunger..."

"You can't use magic detection if you don't have enough magic power."

"Without using magic detection, we cannot confirm whether Simmel and the others are still there."

"We can't be sure if Simmel and the others are still around, which means that going out means the possibility of death."

"Since we might be killed immediately if we go out, we might as well stay in the cave and live a miserable life."

"But if you try to survive in the cave, you'll die soon enough..."

"But going outside might mean dying even faster."

The logical deadlock caused by the will to survive led Aura into a mental overload.

The mental overload made her stomach rumble once again.

The most useless demon race, in their despair at seeing no future, stopped thinking.

"Simmel, Frilian—"

"Damn those heroes!!"

He lay completely flat on the stone bed he had carved out while he still had the strength.
Even the sunlight outside the cave was too much for Awula to look at directly, and he could only huddle in the shadows, his voice hoarse.

She complained bitterly about the brave adventurers who had put her in this predicament.
But her roar, utterly weak from hunger, was barely audible—

“Shurahat…”

Didn't you say I was still useful to you?

"Please, please come and do everything in your power to urge me on and use me—"

"Cuck!"

“I will never talk back to you again, Shurahart.”

"I will never again call you a riddle-maker or a traitor to the Demon King's army behind your back!"

"Please, please, come and save me!"

"Anything I can do—"

"No, even if it's something I can't do, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

"real……"

"I really can do anything—"

Aura, who was on the verge of fainting from hunger again, muttered to himself in his hazy consciousness.

She reformed herself after being disciplined by Agushid through a form of free-range upbringing.
Right now, my only thought is to eat my fill and survive.

"Wadasi, Wadasi—"

"I'm really willing to do anything!!"

Just before his consciousness was about to completely dissipate, Aura prayed once again from the bottom of his heart.

then……

It was as if heaven had answered her expectations—

In her hazy gaze,
That familiar, slender figure from her memory actually appeared before her eyes.

Am I hallucinating?

"Shurahart came to save me, why would I have such a dream..."

With blurred vision, I watched the silhouette of that figure slowly step into the cave from under the midday sun.
Aura, in a fit of self-pity, mocked his current predicament.

"Hallucination?"

"Heh... Aura, is that what you think?"

"In that case, I'll go back the way I came."

A magical force emanating from the outside world gradually reawakened Aura's senses.
So she instantly grasped the reality of the situation—

It wasn't a dream, Shurahart really came to save her!!

Using the strength restored by the transmitted magic, he forced himself to sit up.

Aura grabbed Shurahat's cloak without hesitation.

"It really isn't a dream..."

As my vision gradually returned, I looked up at the familiar face whose lower half was hidden by a mask...

And that same unchanging look of disdain, as if looking at trash—

The most useless demon clan member was moved to tears at this moment, shedding tears on the spot.

"Shurahart, I knew you and His Majesty the Demon King wouldn't abandon me!!"

"Uuuuuu——"

"I'll never curse at you again, Shurahart!!"

"—She actually survived..."

Looking at Aura, who was full of emotion and didn't seem like a demon at all,

Shurahart muttered to himself silently.

Two days after the Southern Hero left Agushid's side,
Having rediscovered the future of the Southern Hero and himself, and having confirmed that Agushid would no longer interfere in their affairs—

Shurahat did not delay at all.

He arrived at the Celestial Dragon directly following the magical aura that Agushid had left him.

He came here for three purposes.

The first thing is to hear a positive answer from Agushid himself.
Secondly, it is necessary to determine whether the Southern Hero did something unknown to him by using Agusid's ability to shield the future.
Finally, we need to temporarily take Aura away to help her recover and prepare for the final battle with the Southern Hero.

But to be honest...

Shurahat didn't initially think Aura would survive.

After all, let's not even talk about whether the Southern Hero might change his mind at the last minute—

Based on the few words Aura had said to Agushid at Vlame's tombstone not long ago, Shurahat was convinced that she was doomed...

But unexpectedly—

She actually survived in the end.

"From a human perspective, was it what I said to Agushid that had an effect?"

I shook my head, trying to clear all those thoughts from my mind.

Shurahat lowered his gaze and turned it back to Aura, who had regained basic consciousness.

He made no delays, nor did he offer any explanation for Aura's background.

Shurahat, with his back to the sunlight, merely bent down slightly.
He whispered a question to the most useless demon in front of him, who was swallowing his saliva:
"You just said you'd do anything..."

"Awula, are you sure?"

Absolutely!

If I'm not sure soon, I'm really going to die!!

Although I don't know why Shurahart appeared at this time.
But Aura can't care about that now.

Listen carefully, then demonstrate your abilities and continue to live happily.

That was her only thought when she heard Shurahart's voice, which sounded like salvation.

"Yes, of course I'm sure!"

Aura responded even more urgently than Shurahat, the one who asked the question.

She was as impatient as if she were afraid that Shurahart would suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear again.

"very good."

Shurahart snapped his fingers casually.
A whole roasted chicken from the North appeared before Aura.

The ending is self-explanatory; facing the ravenously hungry Aura,
The fate of the roast chicken was predictable.

But he didn't notice Aura's ferocious, predatory behavior—

As Shurahart watched her tearing at the right leg of the roast chicken, she took her first bite of the meat.

He spoke slowly and deliberately:

"I will take you away from here temporarily, but in return, for the next month, all your actions will be subject to my arrangements. Any questions?"

"No problem—" (chewing)

I didn't pay any attention to the word "temporary".
Just hearing the word "leave" completely drove Aura to madness.

He spoke sincerely as he ate his first normal meal in months, savoring the meaning of its deliciousness.

"If only you could take me away..."

"I'll do whatever you say—"

Shurahate nodded, offering no comment.

However, he never concealed his purpose and thoughts from beginning to end.

"Alright, Awula..."

"Wait here for me. I'll take you away after I've finished dealing with these matters."

"At the same time, I will help you recover to your full strength, so that you can become a true demon again."

"And all you need to do is..."

"The task is to assist me in the final battle against the Southern Hero in a week."

After saying those words, Shurahart turned around without hesitation.

Gazing at the distant castle, its magic seemed to tear the clouds apart...

He ignored Awula.
Instead, he headed straight for the location of the place's owner, Agushid.

Shurahat is the only great demon among the demon race who has a reputation for integrity.

Therefore, Aura had no doubt about what he said.

"Mmm, mmm—" (chewing)

Aura responded by nodding repeatedly.

Ok……

Ok?
Watching Shurahat's departing figure, Aura, whose hands were covered in grease, suddenly realized something.

He just said...

He wants me to help him in his final battle against the Southern Warrior—

Aura, who had initially thought that Shurahat brought hope for survival, remained silent.

He looked down at the roast chicken in his hand, which was most likely his last meal before his execution.

The violinist suddenly felt dizzy.

Lost consciousness.
