At this moment, the empire has long been devastated and full of traces left by the war, countless civilians have been displaced, and John inquired along the way, only to know that his father Zaom IV had died in the war, and the emperor ** team was leaderless, otherwise it would not have been defeated so quickly, but fortunately, the royal city has not yet fallen into the hands of the kingdom.

"It's Prince John! He didn't die! ”

"There is hope!"

When the soldiers and civilians in the royal city saw John's appearance, they seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and John sighed lightly, now that the empire is at sunset, what can he do to save it? All that can be done may be to live and die with the empire.

In any case, John's presence was a shot in the arm for the Imperial forces, and at least now they had a worthy allegiance. John also knew the current situation, and gathered all the remaining armies in the royal city, ready to fight to the death with the kingdom.

The kingdom's army still came after all, and the one who led this army was the one John least wanted to see at this moment - Saya. In John's heart, Saya is as important as John, he can give up his status as a prince for Saya, but he can't watch the empire fall.

Swords and swords, bloody rain, soldiers on both sides roared and fought, Saya and John did not speak, at this moment they were not each other's partners, but enemies of life and death.

The ice and the flames constantly collided and annihilated, like an eternal enemy, and John was silent, expressing his will with the weapon in his hand.

"I'm so tired......"

John had never felt so tired, and he closed his eyes softly as he watched the dance of the snow stabbing at him.

"Let this all be over......"

John's vision began to blur, and he felt as if he had fallen into a tender embrace.

"I'm sorry ......"

John's consciousness sank into the endless darkness, and in this darkness, a crimson light enveloped his body, and in this crimson light, there was a vague figure.

"Is this figure me?"

John was shocked to find that the figure that gradually became clear was exactly the same as himself, and when he looked back at himself, he found that he had changed.

"No...... I'm not John, who am I? ”

John...... No, it should be said that in Dongfang Xiao's mind, many hidden memories gradually emerged, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"You're awake."

The shadow in front of him, or rather John, said lightly.

"You ......"

Dongfang Xiao was a little unsure, could it be that the person in front of him was the real John? "I'm the Flame Spirit: John, you should know who I am, young man."

"Flame ghosts? But wasn't what I accepted the trial of the ice ghost god Saya? Dongfang Xiao was full of doubts, but he didn't speak easily, after all, ghosts and gods are not easy characters.

John didn't continue to ignore Dongfang Xiao, but said lightly: "Since you have already come, why do you need to hide?" ”

A blue figure appeared out of thin air, and that figure Dongfang Xiao was also very familiar, this was the Saya he had seen countless times, but Saya did not speak, but looked at John coldly, there was hatred in that look, and there was some inexplicable meaning.

John sighed softly and looked at Dongfang Xiao:

"Young man, I have to say that you are very powerful, and there is only one person before you who can be recognized by the two of us at the same time."

"Is it Jig?" Dongfang Xiao blurted out that he had heard that Jige, the strongest Devil May Cry in the world, was able to summon the Flame Ghost God.

"Since you know her name, it is not surprising that those who have embarked on this path have more or less some knowledge of his affairs."

John seemed to remember something: "Most of the Devil May Cry have signed a contract with Saya, and only a few of them are able to carry out the trial of the ghosts and gods, some choose to defend the empire, and some choose to give up their status as princes and spend their lives with Saya, and many more are forever lost in this dreamlike dream, but you are an exception." ”

"Exceptions?" Dongfang Xiao remembered what he had experienced, shook his head helplessly, and asked with some curiosity: "How did Senior Jige pass this trial?" ”

"He took complete control of the empire, then defeated the kingdom and prevented the war." John sighed, "I have to say, that man is just too strong. ”

Dongfang Xiao swallowed a mouthful of spit, he was able to defeat such a behemoth as the kingdom, Jige is really a peerless fierce man......

John glanced at Saya and turned into a streamer into Dongfang Xiao's arm, and on Dongfang Xiao's arm, a fiery red mark appeared, and with John's departure, Saya also came to Dongfang Xiao's face.

"You...... A completely different choice was made. ”

Dongfang Xiao's eyes were a little complicated, the things he experienced in the ghost and god trial were too real, it was as if he had experienced it himself, and now facing Saya who was a ghost god, there was an inexplicable meaning in his heart.

"I finally chose the Imperial ......" Dongfang Xiao shook his head slightly, "Even so, you ...... Still feel like I passed the trial? ”

"It is impossible for the real John to give up the empire, and I have never seen John admire such a man so much that he would be willing to sign a pact with you at the same time as me."

Dongfang Xiao was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Perhaps, he has already regretted his choice back then......"

"He won't regret it, and if he does, it's not John." Saya glanced at Dongfang Xiao, turned into a blue streamer and entered Dongfang Xiao's arm.

"Accept my gift, young man."

As the sound gradually disappeared, Dongfang Xiao finally woke up, and the moment he woke up, an irresistible feeling of exhaustion poured out from the depths of his soul, and Dongfang Xiao, who had just woken up, fell into a deep sleep again.

This is the time experienced by the ghost and god trial, which is too long and too long, far more than the last Kazan trial, so it is very normal for Dongfang Xiao's spirit to be unable to bear it for a while, he needs a period of rest and rest, and completely digest this memory that appeared out of thin air. This kind of trial also has a lot of benefits for Dongfang Xiao, not only for a certain improvement in spiritual power, but also those residual memories may be a more precious gift than the improvement of strength in a certain aspect.
