Chapter 56: Demon Lord

After experiencing an unexpected massacre, even with Christine's quietness in the past, she was a little shaken at this moment. But she was still confused and followed Catherine and arrived at the underground world through a mysterious magic circle. This place was obviously a huge cave dug by hand. Judging from the surrounding environment, Catherine had obviously been operating here for a long time, perhaps for more than ten years!

"Follow me, don't worry, you have to believe that your mother will not hurt you." As if seeing Christine's concern, Catherine gently patted her shoulder and walked slowly into the narrow corridor. Two minutes later, the two of them had appeared in the wide cave. A huge magic circle almost occupied the entire cave, and the flashing light illuminated the dim environment.

"What is this?" Christine frowned slightly, looking a little confused. Catherine gently put her hair on her hair and was about to answer this question, but a voice had already come from the shadow of the cave: "Dear Christine, don't you understand it yet? Whether it is the discs cast by the magic caster or the cube cast by you personally, it is all props to make the Demon Lord come..."

Accompanied by a gloomy low laughter, the figure of Marquis Rhine appeared from the shadow, and he seemed to be dragging a coma body in his hand. Christine was stunned for a moment, but suddenly changed color slightly: "Rhine, why are you here? Wait, does the so-called Demon Lord mean..."

"Catherine, this is your wrong!" Rhine shook his head as if nothing had happened, and looked at Catherine and sighed softly: "I thought you had told Christine the truth long ago, but you didn't expect you to hide it from her. But it doesn't matter, so let me tell the truth! Dear Christine, have you ever thought that the blood of the demons flows on your body."

"What, what!" Christine trembled, and her expression suddenly turned pale. She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Catherine with a calm expression. The latter nodded slightly and said lightly as if nothing had happened: "Yes, you do have the blood eyes of the demons on your body, because I..."

"No, I don't believe it!" Christine was stunned for a moment, and suddenly roared in disbelief. Although she had seen descendants of the demons several times, when it was her turn to become descendants of the demons, Christine still couldn't believe this fact. In fact, since she was very young, Christine had known that she was Catherine's biological daughter, not her adopted daughter. But this came, wouldn't that mean that the seemingly amiable Catherine was...

"This is the fact, whether you believe it or not." Catherine stared at her quietly, her tone as calm as if she was narrating something that was so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary. "Think about it, why did you have a body that would not get sick since childhood, why did you always have the energy that you can't consume forever, and why would you recover so quickly if you were injured occasionally?"

"No, that's just because..." Christine retorted frantically, but she suddenly found that she could not find a reason to refute. Catherine sighed softly, stepped forward and gently hugged her shoulders, and gently hugged her into her arms: "Agree, this is your destiny, who made me destined to be a demon."

Although she had guessed countless times in her heart, Christine still felt confused when she heard Catherine telling the truth in person. But her shoulders suddenly trembled and she quickly raised her body: "Mom, if you are really a demon, then my father is again..."

"Well, he is dead." As if he had expected Christine to ask, Catherine replied lightly: "As I said to you, he died of an accident shortly after I joined your father. After that, I took you to the Northern Continent, and then I found the current situation."

"I said, have you two finished the tragic drama?" Just as Catherine was talking to Christine, Marquis Rhine sneered impatiently and raised the unconscious body in his hand. "The Demon Lord has only been ten minutes since he arrived. If you plan to miss this critical moment, then continue to talk nonsense!"

Hearing his mockery, Catherine couldn't help but look slightly angry, but she still gently pushed Christine away and threw the crystal to Rhine. Only at this moment, when Christine saw the body beside Rhine, she suddenly was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Cruise? Is this Cruise?"

Although he had no good feelings for this suitor, Christine still felt a little embarrassed to see Cruise falling into this fate. Rhine shrugged as if nothing had happened, and dragged Cruise into the magic circle, and sneered coldly: "It's very correct, this is the right container I've been looking for for a long time. But in more than ten minutes, we will say goodbye to him forever, and the Demon Lord will also successfully descend on this continent."

"No, you can't do this!" Even without common sense, Christine could vaguely guess what the Demon Lord was. Her body was indeed filled with blood from the demons, but Christine always thought she was a human rather than a demon. So when she saw Catherine and Rhine try to do this, she instinctively wanted to regain the crystal to prevent the terrifying incident.

With a light bang, Christine felt dizzy and could not help but fall slowly. In her blurry sight, Catherine was put away the faint light flashing from her fingertips and said lightly: "Sorry, Christine, I can't let you destroy our plan. You can rest for a while, and after the Demon Lord arrives, I will explain this matter in detail to you."

"What a boring human relationship. Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? Why waste time?" Rhine was not interested in this performance. He shook his head and dragged Cruise's body directly to the center of the magic circle. Although his expression seemed casual, when the crystal was slowly taken out and placed in the core of the magic circle, Rhine's expression suddenly became very serious...

"After waiting for so many years, has it finally succeeded?" After breathing a long sigh, Rhine finally trembled and put the crystal into the core of the magic circle. Almost at the same time, a strong light suddenly burst out from the magic circle. Rhine was knocked away in an instant like a kite with broken strings. Now, this light surged from all directions of the magic circle, like a wave of surging anger hitting the crystal, forming a column of light up to several meters, rushing directly to the top of the cave!

The black light enveloped the entire underground world at this moment. Catherine and Rhine had already been pushed onto the cave wall by a powerful airflow, and their bodies were even slowly sinking into the cave wall. Amid the strange vibration and sensation, a human-shaped light and shadow condensed into shape in the void and slowly landed below. As if he had found a suitable residence, he suddenly roared and flew towards Cruise, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After a few minutes of silence, Cruise's body suddenly moved slightly, as if it woke up from a long sleep. With the gentle movement of his head, neck, hands, and legs, he gradually supported his body and stood up from the center of the magic circle. At this moment, the light flashing in Cruise's eyes was no longer the blue color before, but the red red like blood. He looked at Catherine and Rhine who were still pressed on the wall of the cave, and suddenly waved his hand gently...

The whistling air flow suddenly disappeared, and Catherine and Rhine fell from the cave wall at the same time and hit the ground heavily. But they both knelt on the ground without caring about the pain, touching the hard ground with their heads. Cruise calmly accepted the bowing and said lightly: "Very good, you did a good job this time, and I will give you a generous reward."

"Yes!" Hearing Cruise or the Demon Lord's praise, Catherine and Rhine looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at the same time. But before they could say a few words of modesty, the Demon Lord snorted coldly and said a little angrily: "But Catherine, have you never tried to open the Tower of Heaven except for me coming to this world for so many years? You must know that compared to my arrival alone, letting all our clans come to this world is the most important thing!"

Hearing the Demon Lord's scolding, Rhine couldn't help but smile slightly, but Catherine had already turned pale. She crawled on the ground with trembling all over and whispered: "Your Majesty, I opened the Tower of Heaven with Niya at that time, but the man suddenly activated the magic circle regardless of everything, so that the entire Tower of Heaven would be closed by itself. Niya protected me to escape smoothly, but she disappeared from now on, perhaps already..."

"Enough, I don't care about Niya's whereabouts. She was originally a victim and came with you." The Demon Lord raised his hand and interrupted her, shouting quietly: "Anyway, since I have come to this continent, then we will open the Tower of Heaven as our only goal. Tell me, what we need to do to successfully open the Tower of Heaven?"

"Yes, that man was also left out of the Tower of Heaven. As long as we can find him, we can find a way to open the Tower of Heaven." Catherine did not dare to say anything, and reported it briefly and clearly. At the same time, she glanced at Christine in the unconscious. The Demon Lord looked at Christine with a slight head, followed her gaze, and suddenly smiled slightly, "Well, is this woman the child of you and that man?"

Catherine nodded slightly, not daring to say anything more. The Demon Lord glanced at Christine again, suddenly raised the corner of her mouth ferociously, and said, "Very good, then she is very useful to us, don't hurt her for the time being. However, she looks really beautiful, maybe she can let me enjoy it for a few months first?"
