Are you worthy of saving the world?

"That's the truth." Yuli said unconvinced, "Just run away, I won't stop you.

Next time we meet, draw your sword—I will let you know a deeper defeat."

"..."

The Black Knight remained silent and said nothing, which was considered as accepting Yuri's agreement.

Black mist diffused from the gaps in his pitch-black armor, making his figure gradually blurry.

"I am one of the four heavenly kings under Demon Lord Rosa, the second phantom Faith."

Huh? Double Phantom?

Isn't this guy's monster race the Black Knight or something?

Double Phantom, depending on the different world views, is also translated as Doppelganger (horror story) and Shapeshifter (fantasy story).

Its name comes from the German word Doppelganger, which literally translates to "twin spectators".

In Western European culture, if a person sees another self in reality, it means that he will die soon.

——Double phantoms are often described as ghosts that look exactly like the victim and even retain the victim's memories.

The appearance of a doppelganger is usually malicious and will suck away the original's energy or even kill him.

But there are also some works in which the doppelganger helps the original body - for example, by making some valuable predictions and warnings.

So that's it… Yuri suddenly realized.

The image of this Black Knight is not the double phantom's own appearance, but an image stolen from Yuri.

Because he was a double phantom ghost, he was more interested in interfering with and destroying Yuri's will than fighting.

After all, this is what an evil spirit that tried to kill its original self should do.

At the same time, Yuli also roughly understood where his inner anxiety came from tonight.

——The other person imitated himself.

Not only his appearance, but also his tone, personality and way of thinking...

It is precisely because the other party has the same personality and way of thinking as himself that he knows Yuli's mentality at the moment.

It is precisely because the other person is similar to himself that Yuli feels a strong sense of disgust.

But... fakes are fakes, and no matter how hard they try, they can never become the real thing.

This was clearly demonstrated by the attitude shown by the double phantom when it saw Celestia.

There is a limit to the imitation of Double Phantom, otherwise why doesn't he just imitate the Demon King and replace him?

Not to mention Celestia, who is stronger than Demon Lord Rosa and exceeds the level cap.

Celestia must be able to see through the double phantom's true form at a glance, so this guy is so panicked!

"Brave Yuri, you can't save the world or anyone right now."

The gradually transparent black knight, the ghost, continued: "If we continue to maintain our current hedonistic attitude...

One day, you will regret your past stupidity. "

"……snort."

Yuri raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After knowing the other party's true identity, his words that once made Yuli feel upset no longer worked.

Yuli just waited quietly for the double phantom to disappear.

"Brave Yuri..."

"If one day you regret your past rashness and recall my words... go to the Temple of Mirrors in the north. There you will find what you want."

north?

Yuli thought about it for a moment and realized that it didn't seem to be the direction leading to the Demon King's Castle.

Humph, I will never go there in my life.

First of all, I don't regret anything I have ever done.

"Don't forget what I said, brave Yuri."

The Black Knight disappeared, leaving only a cloud of mist.

"Lord Brave!"

Celestia ran quickly and rushed in front of Yuri.

It was flying up and down and shaking violently.

"Have enemies appeared? Are you okay? Who were you fighting with just now?" the Elf Queen asked nervously.

"Nothing... just a small insignificant fish." Yuli said calmly.

"Is it really okay?"

Celestia noticed Yuri's transformation into a demon.

This was the first time he used this hidden skill since entering the singularity.

It was obvious that the enemy just now was definitely not some small fry.

"It's okay. I'm sorry... for making you worry, Celes."

After saying this, Yuli turned around and hugged the Elf Queen's plump body.

“Wuwaa ...

Celestia’s cheeks flushed red, and she screamed in bewilderment.

This was the first time Yuli took the initiative to hug her.

In the past, Celestia had always taken the initiative to pay for him, but this was the first time that Yuri had taken the initiative.

"Is this... a dream... so happy???"

Celestia suppressed her shyness and hugged the boy back.

"I'm not dreaming, Ceres." Yuli said with a smile.

"Woo woo?"

The double phantom's night attack was thus circumvented.

Yuri thought as he buried his face in the sweet and gentle valley of the Elf Queen.

For the rest of the journey, let Celes deal with the other enemies.

But only that guy...

Only the double phantom will not let Celes interfere, and must be killed by himself.

175 Death of Princess Ceres

Traveling resumes.

Yuri and Celestia continued to defeat the Demon King's army while advancing towards the Demon King's castle.

As the Demon King, Rosaria seems to be restricted to staying in the Demon King's Castle.

She was not idle either, and had been leveling up madly in the Demon King's Castle, intending to raise herself to the upper limit of the level (Lv. 100) before the arrival of the hero and the princess.

Yuli often receives letters from Rosalia.

"What's in the letter?" Yuli asked curiously.

The letter from Demon King Rosa was written to Princess Celeste.

"Hehe...Nothing, nothing."

Celestia smiled and burned the letter into ashes with the holy fire, then hugged the hero’s arm.

"Let's continue on our journey, my brave hero."

Rosalia asked Celestia to stay away from little Yuri in the letter.

However, this warning letter did nothing but make the Elf Queen more excited and add to the fun.

Soon, Yuri and Celestia came to the territory of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army.

The master of this demonic realm is a dragon.

He is the third of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, the giant dragon Fafnir.

A fat dragon that is so fat that it fills up the entire castle and cannot leave its own vault.

After killing the miscellaneous soldiers, the brave Yuli and Princess Ceres entered his castle.

Unlike the lich Leoric who was killed before, the dragon Fafnir obtained the blessing of the Demon King - actually, it was the potion developed by Rosaria, and its combat power was raised to a higher level than before.

Even so, it was no match for Celestia. The Elf Queen easily killed the dragon in seconds.

"Resurrection magic?" Yuli frowned slightly.

"Well, the Lv.110 sacred attribute final magic... "Resurrection of the Dead"!"

Celestia and Yuri walked hand in hand, saying, “Although it is considered a “miracle” that is absolutely impossible in our original world…

But in this singularity world, resurrection is actually possible, right?

After I entered this world, I automatically learned the magic that can revive others."

Resurrection?

Yuri fell into deep thought.

In the world view of "Apocalypse of the Goddess", resurrection is considered impossible.

After all, that worldview is copied from the real Christian religion, and resurrection is a miracle that belongs exclusively to the savior.

However, in this fictional singularity, the world view of traditional RPG games is adopted, and resurrection is not that advanced.

In games like Dragon Quest, even an ordinary priest in a random village can resurrect the dead.

At least here the resurrection magic needs to be at level 110... um, wait.

"Ceres, you should have exceeded the level cap, right?"
