You, Your Sword Ancestor, Looked a Lot Like That Great Devil Who Betrayed the Abyss

Where is this? The human girl in front of him looked somewhat familiar. She was wearing a tattered, fiery red mage's robe and holding a staff. Her once pretty face was now pitch black, as if it had been scorched by fire. There were wounds on her hands and sword wounds on her body. And this body Lance raised his right hand to look at it. It was a stone-carved body.

A feeling of déjà vu.

He was summoned to his current state by believers, similar to descending to a deity through the power of faith.

Only by relying on the power of faith to become a being of the gods can one be qualified to respond to one's believers, and through the power of faith, descend into the idols sculpted by the believers to help them resolve their crises.

He did not rely on the power of faith to become a god, so why could he descend into the stone-carved statue?

He remembered the human girl who had summoned him, but he couldn't recall her name. He only remembered that she and another human girl wielding a sword had summoned him before.

How did a fire mage become a follower of this "Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor"?

If she does not sincerely believe in him, her prayers and supplications will not appear in his mind.

The environment before them was a dark corridor, about five meters wide, with various hideous and bizarre demons, ghosts, and evil Source Beast carved on the walls on both sides.

The style is somewhat like Underground Demon Palace. He had also entered a similar Underground Demon Palace when he was adventuring in the human world.

In addition to monsters, treasures, and mimic chests, the Underground Demon Palace also allows you to summon demons or make deals with them through sacrifices.

"Sword Ancestor, please save Caroline! A demon has possessed her body."

Upon seeing the Sword Ancestor's response, Ailiya, who had excitedly stood up, hurriedly knelt down on one knee again, begging the Sword Ancestor before her to save Caroline.

It was because the Sword Ancestor cared for his followers that she knelt before the Sword Ancestor. Before kneeling before the Sword Ancestor, she had also knelt before the Fire God she worshipped. Unfortunately, the Fire God did not respond to her. After all, she was a fire mage, and naturally she could not bypass the Fire God and directly kneel before the Sword Ancestor's statue.

Unexpectedly, when she was desperate, the Sword Ancestor actually answered her prayer. After returning last time, she and Caroline carved a statue of the Sword Ancestor to carry with them, which was indeed the right thing to do.

Buzz—

With a buzzing sound, a scarlet magic circle appeared on the wall of the Dim Corridor, and a girl with a high ponytail and a greatsword walked out of the scarlet magic circle.

"Where can you run to from here? Become my vessel, like your companion. Don't worry, I won't devour your souls for now. I want to move around in the human world, and when necessary, I'll need to rely on your souls. Hmm? Divinity."

Holding a greatsword, the girl with her hair tied in a high ponytail revealed a solemn expression in her blood-red eyes. Divinity had actually appeared in this dark, murky, and evil Underground Demon Palace. Had the gods bestowed upon this human girl a certain degree of divinity? No.

It wasn't the human girl in front of me, but the statue behind her. To be precise, it was a statue of a god.

Statues cannot be born with divinity; only idols can possess divinity.

The divine aura is so strong. Has a deity descended?

True God?

Not the power of faith.

It is faith that makes one a god.

The human girl Caroline has this idol in her memories.

Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

She called this statue the "Sword Ancestor".

Awe and a desire to kneel were Caroline's thoughts. She was still struggling, and if she hadn't struggled so fiercely, the human girl in front of her would have already become a vessel.

Should we test the waters with the human Sword Ancestor? If we could devour the Sword Ancestor's divinity... Caroline's face showed anger, which quickly turned into a sinister grin.

"Caroline, hold on! The Sword Ancestor has responded. Just wait, the Sword Ancestor will soon be able to slay the demon that has taken over your body."

Lance, standing behind Ailiya, did not move. Through Caroline's eyes, he saw the appearance of the demon that had possessed Caroline's body.

A humanoid demon.

The fingers and toes were blood red, the hands were like eagle claws, and the feet were similar to human feet, except that the demon's feet, which had invaded Caroline's body, were larger and more ferocious, with curved toes.

It looks like a demon, with horns on its head, a long tongue, and protruding eyes.

Evil Spirit.

The demon that possessed Caroline's body is called: Evil Spirit.

This type of demon is classified as a ghost. It has no physical form, enjoys devouring the souls of living beings, and can enslave spirits. Powerful Evil Spirit can even easily extract the soul of a living being from its body and then take over that living being's physical body.

The Evil Spirit is more powerful than the Shadow Fiend.

These two little believers are incredibly unlucky. They opened a blind box and got Evil Spirit Evil Spirit. The most direct way to deal with such a demon is to bring it out and fight it. Unless you can find a Extraordinary Person, ordinary Extraordinary Person can't do anything to this kind of Evil Spirit spirit.

What... what happened?

The statue of the Sword Ancestor... why... why is it emanating an evil aura?

The sacred aura and golden light from before... how... how did they turn black and red? Facing Caroline, Ailiya was horrified to discover that the golden light that had filled the Dim Corridor had instantly turned black and red. Was it all like last time? This time, instead of the Sword Ancestor, the one answering her prayers was that terrifying demon from before?!

Ailiya's legs went weak. She had forgotten... forgotten that the one she had summoned last time might not have been the Sword Ancestor, but a great demon. She only remembered that last time Caroline prayed to the Sword Ancestor, the statue of the Sword Ancestor responded to her and even resolved their crisis. In this moment of desperation, she prayed to the Sword Ancestor again, expecting the holy Sword Ancestor to respond. But to her surprise, the holy aura lasted less than five minutes before being taken away by evil.

Caroline, whose body had been possessed by the Evil Spirit, now showed astonishment in her blood-red eyes. Her divinity had vanished, replaced by darkness.

Could it be that the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor has been possessed by some powerful demon from the abyss? Hopefully not.

Despite being somewhat wary of the divinity she had just witnessed, she still longed to meet this Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

In Caroline's memory, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor was named Lance.

It shares the same name as the demon who betrayed the abyss.

If the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor is the demon who betrayed the abyss.

If she defeats the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor and even brings him back to the Abyss, she will automatically become Demon Emperor Candidate Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor! The reason she took over this human girl's body is because she has the name Lance in her memories.

Is the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor the demon who betrayed the Abyss?

Demons should be unable to attain divinity.

However, this dark aura now seemed rather interesting to her. She wondered if it was some demon who had betrayed the abyss; she'd find out by extracting this guy's Divine Soul.

Caroline suddenly stretched out her right hand, and a thick, blood-red mist transformed into a blood-red ghost hand, which passed over Ailiya and fiercely grasped the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

"Come out here!"

The crimson ghost hand suddenly pulled backward, instantly lifting the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor into the air and flying towards Caroline.

Upon seeing this, the Evil Spirit controlling Caroline's body was about to retreat when it saw the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor extend a ghostly hand burning with Netherflame towards her.

Unable to dodge, her body immobilized, the Evil Spirit possessing Caroline's body watched helplessly as the ghostly hand, burning with Netherflame, pierced the head of the human girl she had taken over.

"No! Caroline... wait?"

When Ailiya saw the ghostly hand emerging from the Sword Ancestor statue and piercing into Caroline's head, she assumed that this great demon would kill Caroline along with the demon that had possessed Caroline's body.

Unexpectedly, the ghostly claws wreathed in Netherflame pulled a hideous, towering, incorporeal, blood-red soul from Caroline's body.

The dark red mist that filled the Dim Corridor transformed into Netherflame in that instant.

The moment the hideous, blood-red soul left Caroline's body, Caroline fell from the sky to the ground. Fortunately, Ailiya reacted quickly and caught Caroline.

As the Evil Spirit left her body, Caroline gasped for breath, her blood-red eyes gradually returning to normal, and the evil aura emanating from her body rapidly dissipated.

The Evil Spirit, gripped by the claws of the underworld, struggled, unwilling to believe that she had been so easily expelled from her human body by an unknown monster.

How could I touch her soul? Is this statue a god? Or a demon?! "Are you alright, Caroline?"

"I... I'm fine. You... prayed to the Sword Ancestor?"

"Hmm." Ailiya gave a wry smile. "But... the response I got was still from that great demon from last time. Caroline... What does the Sword Ancestor actually look like? The statue you sculpted isn't some great demon, is it?"

Ailiya's voice grew softer and softer, because at this moment, the Sword Ancestor statue truly resembled a great demon, its body shrouded in a ghostly light. Furthermore, the Sword Ancestor statue was using a ghostly claw to grasp the terrifying demon, suspending it in the void, making the Sword Ancestor appear even more terrifying than the great demon. Lance glanced at the Evil Spirit demon in his hand. Why were Evil Spirit demons of this level starting to appear in the human world?

Even Extraordinary Person Evil Spirit the Golden Wheel level would have their body possessed by Evil Spirit of the same level as the one he possesses if they didn't have the means to control Evil Spirit.

Excellent, this level of Evil Spirit spirit is perfect for training the dragon cub, making her its rival.

Confine her within the domain.

As for his two little followers, Lance sensed the Underground Demon Palace and found that there were still many monsters. Given their condition, if they continued to move around in the demon palace, it might worsen their injuries. After thinking for a moment, Lance unleashed two dark flames with his left hand. One flame Caroline Caroline's body, and the other Ailiya Aria's body.

These two flames can heal their injuries.

As for what happens next, whether they stay in the Underground Demon Palace to continue exploring or leave is up to them.

He's leaving.

He may save his own followers in critical moments, but he will not protect them.

How can you grow into a towering tree without experiencing wind and rain?

boom--

The Netherflame that filled the corridor quickly retreated back into the Sword Ancestor statue.

Caroline and Ailiya watched helplessly as the hideous demon was crushed into a ball by the claws of the Netherworld Demon and sucked into the right palm of the Sword Ancestor Statue. As the last wisp of Netherflame faded, the corridor became dark again.

Faintly, the demon's wails still echoed in the corridor, "Caroline, has the Great Demon Lord... left?!"

"Yes, they must have left. We were saved by this great demon twice."

"Is the statue we carry with us a statue of the Sword Ancestor God? Or a statue of some unknown great demon?"

Twice now. The power displayed by the statue of the Sword Ancestor each time seems to belong to a great demon.

With a sob in her voice, Ailiya asked, "Even though the great demon didn't harm them, anyone would be afraid if the great demon came twice in a row."

She wouldn't be afraid if it were the Sword Ancestor himself.

"Great demon, if the temple's clergy knew that the statues she and Caroline carried were demon golems, they would be considered heretics." "What we carry is definitely the Sword Ancestor Statue. As Sword Cultivator, I could not possibly be unable to distinguish between the Sword Ancestor Statue and a demon golem."

"Then let me rephrase my question. Is the Sword Ancestor a great demon?"

"That's impossible! The Sword Ancestor is sacred! Every time I sincerely pray to the Sword Ancestor Sword Ancestor, I can vaguely feel his sacred aura, as bright as the sun."

As she spoke, a look of piety appeared on Caroline's face.

Click. Click. "What's that sound?"

"It sounded like something cracking. Wait, could it be that the statue of the Sword Ancestor has cracked?!"

Ailiya rushed to the statue of the Sword Ancestor and examined it carefully. "Ah! The statue of the Sword Ancestor has cracked again!!! Caroline, could it be that a great demon defiled the statue of the Sword Ancestor, and then the statue sensed it and cracked on its own?"

"."

Caroline felt inexplicably guilty. Last time, the Sword Ancestor Statue she carried with her also cracked, but this time it was Ailiya's Sword Ancestor Statue that cracked. "Ailiya, take the Sword Ancestor Statue back first."

"Um."

Ailiya put the cracked idol away.

"Ailiya, the demon that has taken over my body says that the Sword Ancestor we Sword Cultivator worship is very similar to a Great Devil who has turned his back on the abyss, and even their names are the same."

That demon, in order to destroy my faith, even told me that the Sword Ancestor I worshipped might actually be the Great Devil who betrayed the abyss.

"How is this possible?!"

"The Sword Ancestor is human, a Sword Cultivator. The Great Devil who betrayed the abyss must be a vicious and wicked demon king. If the Sword Ancestor is Great Devil, would the major temples allow you Sword Cultivator to worship a vicious and wicked demon king? That damned demon clearly wants to destroy your faith, which is why he used words to break down your defenses."

As for the claim of sharing the same name, that's even less convincing. Aren't there plenty of people with the same name in various kingdoms?

Ailiya scoffed at the demons, saying that even she, a mage, didn't believe that the Sword Ancestor was Great Devil who had betrayed the abyss, let alone Sword Cultivator.

Caroline nodded. There was one thing she hadn't told Ailiya: the Great Devil who had betrayed the Abyss, who did indeed resemble the Sword Ancestor, had shown her a portrait of that Great Devil from the Abyss.

I need to keep an eye on this when I get back.

See if other Sword Cultivator have encountered this before.

Or perhaps the Sword Ancestor has not responded to the other Sword Cultivator.

Also, the demons in their kingdom have been appearing more frequently lately. If she encounters Great Devil who says that the Sword Ancestor is like a traitor to the abyss, she will definitely cut the demon down with her sword!

Even if they resemble him, they are demons who have betrayed the abyss, resembling their Sword Ancestor!

Lance Sword Domain.

The young Dragon Eye as the evil Lance used his dragon claws to pull out a hideous, blood-red monster from between his eyebrows!
