Balan gave out orders, and the three-headed magic eagle that received the order bowed its head reluctantly, but could not do anything. It was a little too far from the line of life and death, and was actually not very comfortable here, but because it was intimidated by the demon, it could only stay here in humiliation and continue to cooperate with him in acting for a while.
Anna had already begun to review the vocabulary after replaying the situation in her mind, but suddenly she heard a loud noise in the direction where Balan had left. She turned in shock, but because it was late and the moonlight was not bright enough, she could only see two dark shadows, one large and one small, fighting about a hundred meters away in the sky.
The big one was probably Balan; his wings were very large and distinct, and the small one…could it be the demonic creature that had snatched her up earlier?
Anna was a little worried at first, but after seeing the general situation, although she was still worried, her thoughts had already gone completely in another direction.
That demonic creature was obviously arranged by Balan. What kind of act was he putting on now…
If she didn’t think about the intentions behind this play, then this shadow puppet-like show was actually quite nice to watch.
The two black shadows went at each other in mid-air. Because they were different in size, it was easy to tell who was who. For a while, the big black shadow would have the upper hand, and then the little black shadow would have the upper hand. From time to time, there would also be dark or gorgeous elemental rays of light flashing, colliding, exploding…
After a while, Anna couldn’t help but want to applaud. This was a fantasy blockbuster full of special CGI effects!
In the end, the big and small shadow collided and both fell into the forest.
At this moment, Anna remembered what she should do, and took two steps in the direction where Balan fell, saying, “Balan, are you there? Are you okay?”
Anna waited for a while, and saw that a dark shadow in the forest was slowly moving over. The dark shadow seemed to be seriously injured, walking extremely slowly, and staggering, as if it might fall down at any time.
When the black shadow came within the range of the fire, Anna saw that it was Balan who looked battered.
While thinking about being too dedicated, she ran over and exclaimed, “Balan, what happened to you!!”
When Anna ran over to him, Balan fell to the ground with a grunt, and Anna squatted down beside him in a hurry. According to the trope in the movies and on TV, she should cradle his head in her arms and listen to his heartfelt words…but she pushed that thought away..
Anna knelt down beside Balan, and asked a reflective question that seemed to be caring, but in fact interrogative: “Balan, are you not the most powerful Duke of The Abyss from the Demon Realm? How could you be hurt to this extent!”
Balan clutched his chest, looked up at Anna and lied: “Creatures from the Demon Realm in the Human Realm are just like human creatures who go to the Demon Realm; they will all be affected. My strength in the Human Realm does not compare with even a tenth of my strength in the Demon Realm..”
After explaining and rationalizing his injury, he immediately proceeded to the main point: “But that three headed demonic creature was following you; I can’t let it have the chance to hurt you!”
Although Balan was giving his “emotional deathbed speech”, Anna was a little distracted. So, the demon had always possessed other people in order to propose to her because if he didn’t possess others, then his powers would be very weak?
Then when she finishes her studies, and then tricks the demon to show his true form, wouldn’t there be a chance to kill him?
Anna was still lost in her thoughts, but she heard Balan say: “Anna, I actually lied just now. I want to take you back to the Demon Realm because I have fallen in love with you. A demon will only fall in love with one person in his life, and you are my destined person. Anna, if I can survive, will you marry me?”
There it is, the climax!
Anna heard Balan’s confession of “true love”, and a touched expression appeared on her face: “Balan, you are so kind to me, you are such a good person.”
Balan said affectionately, “For you, I would die without regret.”
Anna then said with a touch of emotion: “Thank you, you are really a good person.”
After being issued two “good guy” cards in succession, Balan also felt something was wrong; he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Like humans, the blood of demons was also red.
“Anna, are you willing to marry me?” he asked again.
Anna said moved: “Thank you for your willingness to die for me. If you die, I will give you a proper burial.”
Balan: “……”
His marriage proposal was ignored several times; Balan finally realized that he really couldn’t make Anna promise to marry him. Unexpectedly, his trump card, which was being willing to die for his lover, would be ineffective one day!
But the show must go on. Balan didn’t want Anna to actually bury him, so he said bitterly: “Anna, it turns out that not even when I am dying will I be able to win your heart……Don’t bury me; when demons die, they are decomposed into natural elements. Just let me lie here and return to nature.”
Anna also didn’t want to put on the act of digging a hole. Balan was so big, she would have to dig until dawn. And so, she replied kindly: “Okay, I will remember, Balan. There was once a demon who was willing to die for me; I will never forget this kind of matter.”
Balan felt that Anna’s words sounded weird, but now he was anxious to get out of this situation, so he didn’t delve into it. He looked at Anna affectionately and closed his eyes and “died”. Demons had more control over their bodies than human beings, and could stop their heartbeat and breathing as they wished.
