After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 112 The Newborn Black Knight
The altar is a very important thing in the demon king's domain. Whether it is a headless horseman or a black knight, they will be born from the altar, and they will use blood, flesh, and soul to exchange for new births with the things of the dead.

This is quite a way of adding new members with a sense of inheritance.

"Mr. Ira~look at you~"

Satan Ye said happily, and handed the head of the wolf man leader who was dying on the sickle, with round eyes and a nasty expression, to Ira to see.

Yila turned her eyes away from the team that kept sending the wolf man's flesh and blood to the altar, and looked at the head of the wolf man leader raised by Satan Ye... With a very decisive scythe, the head and body of the wolf man were cut separate.

Ira, who was judging in this way, immediately noticed the penetrating wound on the forehead of the wolf man leader. He understood everything in an instant, nodded and said, "That's right, the gouge that killed him with one blow, and then cut off the opponent's head to avoid it." Accident."

This kind of skill, or [thought], was called [repair knife] in Yila's previous world, and it was very necessary to make up the knife for those enemies who were dying.

Many villains are killed by inexplicably revived protagonists in the later stages of the plot development of film and television and animation works because they did not make up for the dying protagonists, and their great careers are over.

In the case of the Demon Lord, he can be regarded as a villain even if rounded up.

"Huh? To avoid accidents?"

Satan Ye asked such a question. She looked shocked, as if she hadn't considered the matter of making up the knife at all. She pondered for a while, then nodded, and said, "I understand... I originally cut off my head. It's for you to see."

"I saw it, you did a good job."

Ira, who praised so much, touched Satan Ye's head. He watched the black knights lining up to help the little ghouls pile up the flesh and blood of the wolf man on the altar.

It was a huge stone platform, surrounded by a circle of stone pillars as thick as a human being. There were many runes arranged on the stone platform and the pillars. Ira could tentatively recognize the incantations used for transformation.

Constructing flesh and blood into steel, condensing the consciousness of awakening flesh and blood, turning into a dark knight... It's amazing, it's like trampling on the laws of physics that the Federation has studied for thousands of years.

While Ira was thinking about the principle in this way, the flesh and blood of the jackals whose bones had been removed had piled up into a hill, and then in the eyes of everyone, the flesh and blood began to slowly melt into the altar.

As if corroded and melted, part of the flesh and blood turned into juice, seeping into the interior of the altar from the runes one after another, and some flesh and blood that were not qualified to become black knights remained on the altar.

Until they are taken away by the little lemurs...these will turn into new little lemurs.

After that, there was another round of transportation, repeating the action of moving the flesh and blood to the altar. I heard that the birth of the black knight would take a certain amount of time, so there is no way to see the new black knight being shaped today.

However, the black knight transformed from the body of the gnoll is not seen today, but it does not mean that the black knight transformed from the body of the Gorgon before will not appear today. After all, transformation is a rather long process.

Perhaps it was because of Ira's luck that when everyone was piling up flesh and blood, the runes in a small area of ​​the altar began to glow, and Mana could be seen converging there.

Some pitch-black powder gushed out from the altar, and under the construction of the rapid Mana, a hollow prototype of the jet-black armor was formed—the prototype of the black knight standing there appeared within a second.

The black powder that sticks to each other and turns into a body is the transformation of the flesh and blood swallowed by the altar. Perhaps turning the flesh and blood into this other substance is the magic of the altar.

"Where did this altar come from? Who created it?"

Ira asked this, and Satan Ye beside him didn't seem to know.

Satan Ye lightly threw the head of the wolf man with the sickle in his hand to the center of the altar, and said: "The function of the altar is to replace the ritual. In fact, it is the same concept as the lich transformation ceremony, but whoever develops it, who Improved, I don't know."

Indeed, Yila could also see this, but it was precisely because of this that Yila felt that the person who transformed that complicated ritual into a simple and clear transformation was a genius... at least a genius in alchemy.

……

"Have you thought about your name yet?"

Black Black asked this newborn black knight, watching the other party accept the generated knowledge ignorantly... It turned out that there were special black knights asking similar questions and arranging the whereabouts of the new arms.

But Xiao Hei happened to be here today, so he also came to give some guidance.

"..."

The newborn black knight just shook his head.

"Then, let's find the answer from the battle... I look forward to the moment when you decide on your name."

As Xiao Hei said this, he motioned to the black knight beside him to take him down to prepare to join the team. The meaning of [think of a name] in his words was to let the black knight gain his own strong consciousness.

Here I have to mention [Royal Black Knight] and [Black Flame Headless Horseman]. The headless horseman is the transformation of the warrior's soul, and the black knight is the transformation of the warrior's flesh and blood, so the black knight did not have a strong self at the beginning of its birth. conscious.

The headless horseman only has his own consciousness, while the war horse is like a puppet, which has the shape and nature of a horse, but is not a tool for a real independent individual.

When the headless horseman and the horse have the emotion of "comrades in arms", the blue flame on the headless horseman's head will turn black, and the horse will have its own consciousness just like a real horse, becoming a higher-level arms.

Black knights, on the other hand, when they generate their own emotions and enough [self] awareness, they will become royal black knights with more gorgeous and powerful armor.

And the sign of "self" is the urgent need for a name that belongs to oneself.

Ira watched from a distance, he suddenly thought of something, asked Satan Ye beside him, and said: "Speaking of which, when Lodia went out before, she used ordinary headless war horses, right? That should be It's the other Headless Horseman's, but what about her own Black Flame Steed?"

That's right, when Lodia took him to the expedition, there was obviously a blue flame on the head of the horse she stepped off.

"During a battle, he died protecting Lodia."

When Satan Ye said this, she lowered her brows and eyes in lamentation. It was because of this that Lodia fell into self-blame from time to time. With a slightly apologetic expression on Ira's face, she added: "However, even if there is no black flame horse , she is still the best Headless Horseman."

In response, Ira also nodded...

"Well, I never doubted that."

----------

Lodia, who came from a distance and just overheard her: So... so embarrassing, but the smile on her face couldn't be removed.
