Demon King Priest

"Are you sure? Are they not something you just made?" Arcelia looked at the huge black shadows in front of her with a weird look.

"He! He! He!" The huge black shadows made strange creepy noises, making people's hair stand on end. In fact, there was nothing scary about their appearance; they were just some big black trees. Moreover, they were just originally just some ordinary trees that couldn't be more normal. As for why they turned black and made creepy noises, it started an hour ago...

An hour ago, Aya took Helen and found Arcelia who was practicing in the forest.

"Arcelia, come here, there is a task for you today!" Aya waved to the girl who was swinging the sword, signaling her to come over to her.

"Task? What task? Is it the task to perform a ritual of allegiance to that demon king?" Arcelia stopped the sword in her hand and asked a little puzzled.

"No. It is not the time yet. I will try my best to arrange a seemingly normal occasion for you to pledge your loyalty to the master. Among the apostles, you will be responsible for the task of protecting the master openly. At least until the master knows the existence of the apostles, you must have a suitable identity by his side to protect him. And on this deserted island thousands of kilometers away from the continent, there is no normal reason for you to appear." Aya replied.

"What is going on? Is the demon king completely ignorant of the existence of the apostles? Otherwise, why do we have to find the so-called normal occasion to pledge loyalty to him?" After hearing Aya's answer, Arcelia's confusion deepened.

"Yes, in terms of the master's current psychological condition, it is impossible for him to accept the existence of the apostles. You will know what kind of person he is soon. You'd better prepare yourself. He will probably be very different from the image of the demon king in your imagination, very different..." Aya said with a strange expression on her face.

‘It is far from the image of the demon king I imagined? What does that mean? Does it mean that his dressing preference is different from ordinary people?' Hearing Aya's words, Arcelia was confused. However, she did not intend to continue to ask. Anyway, she would be able to meet the demon king Ulysses directly in the near future, and she would naturally know what kind of demon king he was.

"Then if it weren't for me to pledge loyalty to that demon king, what can I do? There should be no enemies on this deserted island, right?"

"Well. It is about making a transportation tool to leave this deserted island. It's better to let Helen do it with you. Come with me!" After speaking, Aya flew to the corner of the forest.

‘Transportation tool to leave this deserted island? Is it to build a ship? But how can only a few of us build a boat that can cross the sea?' Arcelia put away the golden sword in her hand, and with a puzzled mood, she followed Aya flying in the air and walked into the depths of the forest.

Rays of golden sunlight penetrated the dense branches above Arcelia's head, forming beautiful spots of light on the ground, and they were walking on these beautiful spots. Beside them, there would be the sound of small animals moving in the bushes from time to time, and a few green leaves would fall on their heads from time to time. A few of them also fell on their beautiful hair, but they soon slipped off.

After walking for about 30 minutes, they came to a corner with dense trees. In front of them were dozens of towering trees with a diameter of about four to five meters and a height of about tens of meters.

"Mhm! Those trees should be fine." Aya flew in front of these big trees and observed them carefully, and said with satisfaction.

"Should be fine? Are you planning to use these big trees to build a boat?" Arcelia looked at the tall trees in front of her and asked curiously. Since the country she used to live in was also famous for shipbuilding, she also knew a little about shipbuilding technology. The big trees in front of them were indeed good materials for shipbuilding, but there were only a few of them. How would they be able to build a big ship for sea voyage?

‘Wait! She seemed to have said that this is a desert island more than a thousand kilometers away from the continent! How did they get here? ? Could it be that the demon king brought them here directly by magic? If this is the case, they don't need to build ships at all, right? But if not, then how did they...

"Excuse me, how did you come to this deserted island? You said that this is a deserted island more than a thousand kilometers away from the continent!? Did the demon king bring you all by magic?" After thinking for a long time, Arcelia couldn't think of a reasonable answer, so she had to ask Aya who was looking at the trees in the air.

"Uh. No. We took a giant steel ship called Titan Poseidon to come near this deserted island. But the ship was sunk by an eighth-level magic beast, and we had to come to this island to recover. And yes, we are indeed going to build a boat." After Aya explained it, she looked at the huge trees again.

"Oh." Arcelia was not the kind of person who liked to ask many questions. After Aya explained it, she didn't keep asking. But she was still a little curious about what method the little girl in front of her would use to build a boat that could cross thousands of kilometers of sea.

After taking a close look at the surrounding trees, Aya left marks on dozens of them, and it seemed that she intended to use them as raw materials for shipbuilding.

Next, she began to draw magic circles near the marked trees. Before long, every tree was surrounded by a circular magic circle. This time the magic circle was much simpler than the one that was used to resurrect Arcelia last time. It was just a circle with the tree as the center, and then a few magic runes inside the circle, so Aya only took about ten minutes to draw.

After drawing the magic circles, Aya flew into the air and began to recite the incantation: "Poor dark souls wandering in different time and space! I am calling you here in the name of the demon king Astaroth! Possess these vibrant lives!"

Following Aya's spell, a black crack suddenly appeared in the air. And dozens of black mists rushed out of the black crack, rushing towards the trees surrounded by the magic circle. After every tree was surrounded by a black mist, the black crack disappeared.

"Gah! Gah! Gah! Gah!" After being entangled by the black mist, the big trees shook frantically. At the same time, the green leaves on their bodies fell down one after another, and the trees began to slowly change color...

Finally, the trees that were originally green turned into pitch-black trees, and they began to make "He! He! He!" noise...

"What the hell are they? What did you do to those trees to make them like this? Was it a demon summoning? What does it have to do with shipbuilding?" Recalling that Aya made these trees after a strange process, Arcelia seemed to have guessed something.

"Yeah. You are right! I did summon some weak dark souls. These things don't really have consciousness, but if they are attached to these trees, they can greatly enhance the hardness and corrosion resistance of the trees. And there will be a certain degree of magical defense and self-recovery, which is a good material for shipbuilding." Aya looked at these strange trees and said with excitement.

"Oh. But if we cut them off, these powers will disappear quickly, right? After all, those powers required constant energy supply. Unless you are telling me that we will supply the energy ourselves. But the amount of energy required is very, very large! Do you have so much magic energy? "

"Huh? You are a knight who uses the holy sword, but you actually know a lot about the dark magic? But you don't need to worry, it's not me that will supply magic energy, but the master's demon sword Judgment of Abyss. As long as it releases a minute of dark power, it's enough for these dark souls to use for several days." Aya looked at Arcelia in surprise. She really didn't expect that as a knight of the holy sword, she actually knew dark magic.

"I know some knowledge of dark magic because my younger sister... Forget it, it was hundreds of years ago. There is no point in saying it now. Since you said you want to cut down these trees with dark souls, then I will Do it! But can you give me an ordinary sword, using the holy sword Excalibur to chop the tree is really..." A trace of sadness passed through Arcelia's emerald green eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Haha! It seems that you cherish your Phantasm very much! Unlike my master, he actually uses Master Astaroth's demon king sword Judgment of Abyss for fishing! Haha! He doesn't look like a demon king at all!!" Aya laughed suddenly, took out an ordinary sword from the Dark Dimension Space and threw it to Arcelia who was surprised when she heard her words.

The demon king who used a demon sword for fishing? ? What kind of person was the master that I would pledge loyalty to? Arcelia couldn't help but wonder.
