Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

Generally known as slow and stupid, Ariel had also commented on him in this way, and Ash was right, D had told him...

What managers do is only monitoring and adjustment, which is what gods should do, so they cannot kill specific people, and Sariel certainly does not want him to do so.

Although D spoke in a gentle tone, D probably just didn't want him to break the rules of the game, or to kill Potimas to see how interesting Potimas could create.

Yes, he really wanted to kill Potimas, the guy who had kidnapped a dragon child and was still doing evil until now.

Finally, he also proposed a crazy plan to turn the goddess into a living sacrifice, and successfully executed it.

If all humans are guilty, then Potimas is definitely the one with the most serious sins, and he has played a leading role in the evil deeds of humans and is still doing evil to this day.

But after being told by D, he naturally couldn't kill Potimas, so he could only let him continue to live.

Therefore, no matter how much he hated Potimas, he couldn't do it... Otherwise, what would become of Sariel, himself, the world and the system, Qiu Lie couldn't predict at all.

Fortunately, Qiu Lie only warned Potimas that if he did something intolerable, he would kill him; if he wanted to escape from this planet, he would also kill him.

Such warnings were unexpectedly very effective. Basically, Potimas's body never left the boundary of the Spirit Village.

Although Qiu Lie couldn't take any substantial action against Potimas himself because he was warned by D, Potimas knew nothing about the content of the warning, so he always behaved very honestly and obediently.

However... Although Ash didn't get similar information, he also saw through the fact that he couldn't act casually, and ruthlessly exposed it.

In the end, even if I have power, I still can't do anything? ——This huge black dragon was floating in the sky, slowly lowering his eyes, full of regret.

Ash looked at the dragon that lost its will to fight after being exposed, and its killing intent instantly disappeared. He shook his head helplessly: "....What's wrong, do you have anything else to say?"

"I..." Qiu Lie hesitated, not knowing how to respond, but Ash looked at him with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes: "Actually, I have a suggestion."

"....Proposal?"

"Dustin doesn't have any valuable chips, so I won't talk to him, but you are different." Ash's face showed a confident smile, "You are a real dragon, a natural god, so we can still cooperate with each other."

"You are talking about..."

"You are an existence outside the system with many restrictions on your actions, but I am inside the system, I can help you save the world and do things you can't do."

Ash's words of persuasion were like the whispers of a devil, full of attraction, making it difficult for Qiu Lie not to be moved.

But he shook his head vigorously: "It's useless, this world is finished, it can't be saved."

"I know this too, so I believe that the goddess Sariel must still hope to preserve some native species, right? And what are your plans for the future after destruction? Tell me, maybe I can help you improve it."

Ash did not give up because of Qiu Lie's refusal, and continued to explain his ideas.

"Future?"

"....It seems that you have never thought about it, so let's think about the future after destruction together."

Qiu Lie was a little confused about this question. Combined with his stagnant situation for three thousand years, Ash basically understood that this dragon really didn't think about anything.

Although he was giving blindly, he only stayed at the level of mechanical giving, without further preparation, and did not consider what would happen after the world was destroyed.

"Rather than stagnation, perhaps drastic reforms and changes can bring new hope. Of course, before that, we can also calculate the remuneration for hiring me."

"Wait a moment..." Qiu Lie finally couldn't help interrupting him, and saw that the huge dragon body began to change, gradually turning into a handsome young man wearing black armor. He stared at Ash with a tense expression and said slowly: "Before discussing cooperation, tell me your purpose."

"My purpose? I just want to become stronger and then seek immortality."

"... Your body and soul should have a very long life before reaching the end. You are still young. As far as your race is concerned, you should still be in your infancy, right?" Qiu Lie looked at Ash with some doubts, not understanding why he started to consider the issue of immortality so early.

"Just preparing for a rainy day."

"....It's a little too early to prepare for a rainy day."

"Believe me, I have no ill will towards this world. All my actions are just a path to becoming stronger. I am here just to fulfill the promise made by my old friends, save my hometown, and let the people I like live longer, instead of taking care of them in their old age. In addition, I also hope to help those who need help in the process."

Ash answered frankly, his eyes clear and firm.

Although his words sounded a little strange, he didn't hide anything...at least Qiu Lie couldn't see any trace of lies.

But even so, he still shook his head: "No, I don't trust you."

"Why?"

"...You seem to be the kind of cunning person who is good at manipulating people's hearts. I need to think calmly before making important decisions."

"What kind of slander is this?" Ya Xiu retorted with a black line on his face: "I seem to be a cheerful and harmless person! After all, isn't this a win-win situation?"

"...You give me the impression that you are the kind of guy who talks about a win-win situation, but actually wants to take it all."

"That's not the case. If your eyes don't work, go back and see an ophthalmologist. Don't throw dirty water on others for nothing, okay?"

"...No matter what you say, I have to think about it carefully first, and I must tell you that although D really doesn't let me take action casually, so I won't do anything to you for the time being, but you'd better remember, If you act recklessly before I think about it well - I will definitely stand in your way."

Knowing that he is not good at strategy, Qiu Lie relies on Long's intuition to make general judgments about others, and before making major decisions, he must think carefully first and not be tempted by immediate benefits.

Although Ash hasn't even made a practical request yet, he has a hunch... that it will definitely be a very difficult condition.

So after leaving these words, he silently took a step back and disappeared into the void.

"...Are the old people nowadays so aware of fraud prevention? It's okay to just guard against bad guys and liars, but why do you even guard against good people?" Ash looked at the calm night sky, helplessly. With a long sigh, he patted his head and became annoyed: "Ah - forget it! Let him think about it earlier."

However, why can a god who has lived for thousands of years be so young and innocent? But it doesn't look like acting... maybe it's because life has no challenges, it's too comfortable, and you've been protected too well since childhood, right?

.....................................

In Galen Territory, where the army was preparing for war, three meteorites that were as bright as shooting stars but carried the aura of death pierced the sky. No one could ignore that spectacular and terrifying sight.

The doomsday-like roars coming from the distance were intertwined together, making everyone even more frightened.

The entire Galen Territory was also in the midst of this natural disaster, shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and fear. People looked at the sky and prayed constantly for the goddess's tolerance.

However, when news came from the front sentry that the coalition forces were almost completely wiped out by the meteorite attack, which could even be called annihilation, the entire territory boiled in an instant.

Cheers and shouts came one after another, and people rushed to tell each other. They firmly believed that this was a divine punishment sent by the goddess, a punishment for the invaders, and God's favor for them.

Only the lord and others knew in their hearts that this was definitely not a divine punishment from some goddess, but should have been done by Ash.

Lord Galen just stood in front of the window sill, looking at the hazy smoke and dust on the other side of the horizon, his fingertips trembling constantly because of the terror shown by Ash.

But just when people were immersed in cheers, a sudden crisis quietly came.

Since the town focused most of its energy on dealing with the main force of the coalition forces, it did not expect that the coalition task force would launch an attack here when the defenses were empty.

Fortunately, the large army had just suffered a devastating blow from the meteorite, which made the task force who had been ordered to massacre the town so demoralized that they had no intention of fighting.

It's just that the orders are like mountains, and they are still prepared to break the city and kill some people. It is easier to retreat like this, at least it will not be without results, but...the army's morale is not stable, and even the attack on the city seems very weak.

Even so, the news of the attack on the town still made the atmosphere in the lord's mansion become tense once again.

At the door of the study, two guards stood guard at the door with serious expressions, watching the surrounding movements vigilantly.

The butler frowned in the study and reported the current situation to the lord. Galen's family of three were also in the study on the second floor.

"...The enemy's task force is more numerous than expected. If their military morale were not unstable, they might have already entered the city by now, but we will definitely not be able to hold on for long if we have too few people."

The butler's voice was low and hoarse, his brows were furrowed into the character "chuan", and his eyes were full of worry.

The lord also looked tense. He looked closely at the direction of the distant city wall and asked without looking back: "....How is the evacuation situation of the residents?"

"It's too hasty, it's too late." The housekeeper shook his head helplessly: "Master, please take your wife and young lady and escape quickly. Once the city is broken, this place will definitely become the enemy's primary target, and those heretics will definitely Will slaughter the entire territory."

"....No, I am the lord of this territory. I cannot leave my people behind and run away alone."

"Then I also..." The housekeeper was about to speak, but couldn't say anything.

Because he was not surprised by the lord's decision. In this cruel era, the lord had such noble qualities. This was the reason why he had been following the lord. It was also the biggest reason why he had always hidden his love for his wife and silently protected the family.

"Melazofi...Sofia, I'll leave it to you." The lord finally turned around at this moment, and put his hand on his shoulder solemnly, his eyes full of trust.

Without waiting for the butler's reply, the lady stood up, with a smile on her face, and said softly and gently: "Melazofi, I also want to ask you for help."

"...I..." The master and the lady's instructions made the butler's shoulders tremble unconsciously, and even tears of reluctance appeared in his eyes.

Hurry up, Ash, if you don't come again...my house will...no, what position do I have to ask him for help? But...really please, I will do anything...! ——It's just a baby, at most a baby who can walk on the ground. Sophia, who was tightly held in her mother's arms, was filled with an indescribable sense of powerlessness in her heart. She almost couldn't help crying, but she could only pray that the only person who could bring a miracle would come back soon.

..................................

In this room where the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost frozen, before they could say goodbye properly, there was a fierce fight outside.

The shouts of the guards and the collision of weapons intertwined, breaking the brief silence.

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throats. They didn't know whether the enemy had broken through the defense line or there was a new turn of events.

The lord clenched his sword, ready to meet the possible enemy, while the butler protected his wife and Sophia behind him, with a look of determination in his eyes.

Not long after, the door of the study made a loud "bang" and was slammed open. The person who came was the guard guarding the door.

His figure was shaky, and his body was full of arrows, like a hedgehog possessed, blood oozing out like a spring, dyeing his original armor into a dazzling red.

"Master! Yes, yes.....! "He panted, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from his throat with difficulty. His voice was hoarse and broken. He fell heavily to the ground before he even finished speaking. His body was still twitching slightly. I don't know if he was fighting against death for the last time, or it was just an instinctive reaction of the body.

A feeling of despair spread in the room. Are we really going to die here? This thought came to everyone's mind.

The lord's face turned pale as paper. The lady hugged Sofia tightly, buried her little face in her arms, and her body was still shaking.

But at this moment of despair, the space suddenly seemed to be torn open by a pair of invisible big hands, and a familiar figure emerged in front of everyone.

"We chatted for a long time and were a little delayed. I didn't expect... Hmm? Are you late? "Ash glanced around, then reached out to the guard on the ground.

The soft healing magic light enveloped the guard, and the arrow behind the man, who was not really dead yet, seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and automatically removed from his body. The wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The guard also seemed to wake up from a nightmare, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were full of confusion. He subconsciously looked around, as if he had not recovered from the brink of life and death just now.

"Am I... dead?" The guard's voice was weak and trembling. He couldn't believe that he had actually walked through the gates of hell.

"No, you're still alive. "

Ash said casually, but when everyone recovered from the surprise, two elf invaders wearing green cloaks appeared at the intersection of the study room.

They had fierce eyes and the bows and arrows in their hands were shining coldly. It was obvious that they came with the intention of killing.

But before they released the arrows, Ash just glanced at them lightly, and there was an invisible and powerful force in his eyes.

The powerful impact, like an invisible tsunami, made the two elves fly backwards in an instant without releasing their arrows. With a dull crash and a dying scream, they collapsed to the ground and did not move.

But just after solving the threat at the door, they heard a series of "bang!" sounds from behind - that was the sound of the window being smashed.

Everyone looked back and saw that six elves wearing green cloaks who broke through the window had neatly drawn their daggers and surrounded everyone.

"——Mr. Ash! "The lady cried out in surprise.

"Yes, yes... I know, don't worry so much." He tapped the ground with his toes.

Puff--!!

The dense spikes pierced through the wooden board in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the spikes accurately pierced the chests of the elves, hanging them high on the sharp spikes with a series of screams.

The blood flowed down the spikes and gathered into pools of blood on the ground.

"Anyway, I'm going to meet guests in the hall outside. Do you want to... follow me?"

"Please, please! Let us follow! "The lady, fearing that more elves would appear, covered Sophia's eyes tightly to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene, and hurriedly followed Ash.

The others were like drowning people grasping at straws, only feeling safe around Ash, so they all followed without exception.

..................................

..................................

The elves that Ash had just cleared out before leaving, probably came to this Garen Territory again through teleportation magic.

In the hall at the entrance of the house, several elves with bows were already ready.

But in addition to those elves wearing cloaks, the leader was the elf chieftain Potimas who stood there in a dignified manner.

He showed up without any disguise, and his posture was clearly to kill everyone at the scene. His cold eyes shot at Ash like sharp arrows, full of scrutiny and murderous intent:

"Sure enough, you showed up. Are you sent by Ariel to protect the reincarnated? Who are you?"

"A passerby."

"Don't tell me? It doesn't matter." Potimas walked towards him slowly, his expressionless face was filled with murderous intent, and he slowly said: "The anti-magic barrier is activated."

As his voice fell, strange and terrifying changes occurred around Potimas.

Ash also felt that his body seemed to have become much weaker. To be precise... all the enhancements brought by his skills disappeared.

The lord's family also felt horrified that their magic, skills and ability values ​​were all excluded by this barrier, causing a chill to run through their bodies like a cold snake, making them tremble with fear.

"Don't think about it. Although you are a very powerful magician, all magic cannot be used here, and all enhanced skills will be forcibly removed." Potimas, out of vigilance, directly used the trump card of his clone and looked at him coldly:

"Let's admit that you are qualified to be my opponent. I am Potimas Parfenas; remember this name, you don't need to report your name, anyway, you will die here soon."

At the end of the words, after revealing his family background, Potimas did not intend to give Ash any time to react. He flashed his body and rushed to him at an astonishing speed, and punched him fiercely, and hit Ash's head hard. This powerful and heavy fist seemed to directly blow Ash's head.
