Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 161 Solitaire (Part 1)

kill him……

Kill the Demon King—

kill?

Vlamed, who was standing in front of Agushid, paused for a moment.

It's not because I don't believe Agushid's declaration at this moment—

After all, since Agusid was able to so confidently tell her that he possessed the power to crush this era,
Therefore, Vlamé had no reason not to believe it.

The real culprit that left humanity's first great mage stunned in place...
This was the first time that the most powerful demon had shown such killing intent towards a demon king who was of the same race.

Killing intent...

It feels like I'm dreaming—

How could something like this appear on Agushid?
He actually came up with the idea of ​​taking someone's life...

After a moment of astonishment, Vlamed realized the root cause.
Then, as she quietly gazed at Agusid, she slowly lowered her eyes.

"Is it still... because of me?"

"Agusid clearly didn't want the Demon King to interfere with our reunion—"

"Or perhaps in the future, what did the Demon King do to prevent him from seeing me?"

After making some guesses about why the most powerful demon who "doesn't kill" would say something like "kill XX,"
The first great magician of humanity, once again feeling deeply guilty, sighed inwardly.

She glanced guiltily at the most powerful demon standing in front of her, unsure of what to do.

"Agusid..."

"It's not worth it to force yourself to go to this extent just for me..."

It's no wonder that Vlamé had such self-deprecating thoughts.

In fact, any human or demon who knows anything about Agusid can understand why Vlame would have such thoughts.

because……

The fact that Agushid crossed his deepest bottom line was a scene that no one who knew him could imagine.

It's important to understand that Agushid's 1,500-year-old principle of "non-killing" was not simply a matter of "I will not attack unless attacked."

The most powerful demon race, surviving from the mythical era to a thousand years later, is truly...

He has never personally killed any human or member of his own kind who could be called a living being.

Even if it were as extreme as the Elven Queen who unified the empire and mobilized the entire nation's army to capture Agushid alive.
Even someone as presumptuous as Vlamé, who unleashed a devastating "Lightning of Annihilation" upon their first encounter in the "Fl Basin"—

The most powerful demon race never took a single person's life from beginning to end.

The most extreme revenge he ever took was nothing more than minor injuries like losing a hand or a foot.

"Not caring about one's own life, but caring about the lives of others" —

This comment, originally uttered by the Demon King and later known to Celie, Volamé, and others, is not just a casual remark.

In respecting intelligent life

Even if you combine the moral values ​​of everyone Vlamed has ever met, they still cannot compare to those of Agushid.

That’s why——

It was truly unbelievable to hear the word "kill" uttered by the most powerful demon.

Vlame raised his head and gently patted the leaves that had fallen on Agushid's shoulder.

Gazing at the most powerful demon's expression, which was completely devoid of any connection to the word "joking"—

Humanity's first and greatest great mage was completely speechless.

Vlamé found it somewhat difficult to judge...

The future Agushid was even willing to break his own principles, which he had upheld for a thousand years, for her sake.

Is this good or bad?

"Volamei..."

“Are you surprised to hear the word ‘kill’ from my mouth?” Agushid was not good at reading people’s expressions.

It took Vlamé his entire life to understand 'emotion'.

Who else would be foolish enough to dedicate their life to such a meaningless trifle?
Therefore, his guesses about Vlamé's feelings and thoughts all came from his understanding of his wife.

The worry emanating from Vlamé at that moment was the reason he asked this question.

"Is it really that hard to believe that I would say I want to take the Demon King's 'life'?"

It's more than unbelievable...

I've fallen into complete self-doubt—

Vlame was speechless at the question about the most powerful demon, but the helplessness in her eyes clearly represented her answer.

Aren't you going to ask me the specific reasons?

Seeing Vlame fall silent before him, Agushid, who thought this was not in line with his wife's usual habits, asked softly.

A gentle breeze blew along the tree-lined path, causing Volamey's long, light red hair to flutter.

"Do I even need to ask?"

She slowly reached out and tucked her stray red hair behind her ear.

Vlame slightly averted his gaze and responded to Agushid's question in a low voice.

"Even the most obtuse person would have guessed the answer by now..."

"Not to mention I'm not stupid, Agusid—"

Vlamay paused briefly, then slowly shifted his gaze back.

"Agushid, how could you say such a thing..."

"It's still because of me, isn't it?"

The most powerful demon did not answer; he simply gazed quietly at his wife's profile.
like a statue.

But not answering is often the best answer.

Vlamé, of course, knew that this was, in some ways, no different from tacit agreement.

The wind on the tree-lined path had picked up, and even the small pebbles around were dancing in the dust.

clatter--

He raised his hand with perfect timing and precision, catching the pebble that was about to drift towards Vlamé.

After releasing it in another direction, Agushid's gaze returned to his wife's face.

"Volamei..."

"I--"

Seeing Volame's mood sink once again, the most powerful demon wanted to say something.
But a fluctuation that could only be detected by mages capable of interfering with the 'space' dimension, occurring not far away, made Agusid stop speaking.

— 『Spatial Displacement Magic』

In the memories of the most powerful demons, the one who mastered this magic in this era...

Besides Agushid himself, there were only two other people.

One of them was one of the Oración Seis (Shoguns) whom he mistook for a stray dog ​​and kicked to death when he first attacked the Demon King's castle in Agushid.

—'Kazalim the Void'.

The other is the one who still rules over the entire demon race in this era.

His Majesty the Demon King is now the closest thing in the world to an omniscient and omnipotent "goddess".

The answer can be obtained without thinking.

Because the former simply wouldn't have the guts to appear before Agushid.
After some experiences, he didn't even dare to use his magic in front of the most powerful demons.

Therefore,
The culprit who used 'spatial displacement magic' to disrupt her date with Volamere is now quite clear—
