Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"……Is it me?"

The speaker was Amiya, who had not spoken for a long time. Ever since the Carters girl saw the face of the black-armored knight that did not belong to Levi, her expression showed visible disappointment.

But the topic has reached the point of the power of the"Demon King" After that, she couldn't help but ask softly

"Um."

The black-haired Sakaz girl nodded:"You are one of the targets, and you are also beyond his control, the successor of the Demon King.’——Seizing or destroying this power will become his goal, and it will also be an irreconcilable conflict between you, Rhode Island and him."

"However, you said that there are two obstacles in total, and Amiya is just one of them. Kelsey quickly captured the hidden information in Levi's words:"The other obstacle... is also beyond Tracy's control - who is it?""

Levi nodded, raised a finger, then turned her wrist and pointed at herself

"——I. Kelsey closed her eyes, as if this answer was what she expected:"As expected, Miss Levi, you not only possess Levi's essence, but also the power he controls, right?""

Levi answered Kelsey's question with a faint smile.

"In Chernobog... no, maybe earlier, you had already noticed that the power of Regulus Harvey was actually the power of the Demon King, right?"

"——It was only really confirmed at Chernobog. Kelsey glanced at Amiya who was sitting next to her:"The carrier that can extract the power of the Demon King was exhausted as early as the first experiment, and the power of the Demon King was passed down from generation to generation by the kings of Sakaz. , until...Amiya"

"……Um."

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Carters girl who was named, as if she remembered the warm figure when she first gained power:"Sister Theresia should have had no reservations when she gave me power, so Brother Levi The power he possesses probably does not come from Sister Theresia."

"If power could be easily divided, then there would be countless more demon kings in Sakaz throughout the ages."

Levi looked at Amiya with a hint of tenderness in her eyes:"Amiya... you guessed it right, Levi and I are not the devils we acquired, but were born like this... No, rather, it belongs to us now. His power is purer and more essential than that of the Demon King."

Kelsey's breathing began to quicken a bit, but at this moment, Levi raised a finger and blocked it in front of her lips.

"I think – that’s it for sharing information on this aspect."

Ignoring Amiya's doubts and Kelsey's dissatisfaction, Levi thought for a moment and threw out a more important piece of information:"Compared to this, I think you should be more curious about what happened to Levi's 'missing' During this period, where did he go, what did he do, and why hasn't he come back yet, right?"

Amiya's ears immediately stood up, and her eyes became a little more eager. However, Kelsey's eyes only opened slightly, and then she regained her composure and narrowed her eyes.

"——Is there any information you can share about these three questions?"

Levi nodded, then shook her head. The contradictory movements made the Carters girl and Dr. Filmin who were facing each other feel confused.

"These three questions are actually not important. The reason why Amiya is so enthusiastic is because you want to infer the current situation of the individual 'Regulus Harvey' from my words."

The black-haired Sakaz girl sighed slightly:"It's a pity that even if I tell the truth, it's just an irregular hope. It's no different from drawing a big pie."

"……"

"Okay, okay, I'm telling the truth - of course I hope Levi can come back soon, but it's a pity that this matter can't be rushed."

Seeing Kelsey and Amiya's expressions falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, Levi's expression also became serious.

"However, I can indeed tell you that Levi is in a very bad state right now, and the reason for all this is because before he 'disappeared', he met a person, a person who... caused him misfortune."

This time, not only Amiya, but even Kelsey's breathing began to quicken. Her two pairs of eyes were fixed on the face of the Sakaz girl, as if she wanted to go straight through that face. A mind that hides countless secrets

"Levi met... Theresia and almost died at her hands."

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent, and you could hear the drop of a needle.

————Dividing line————

Morning Star, Parliament Hall.

The white-haired old man Sakaz clutched the thin piece of paper tightly. His face, which should have been older, wiser and gentler, was now covered with dark clouds, as if a mountain fire was about to break out at any time, using purgatory-like lava. Devour everything.

The Wendigo and Stonewing Demon standing aside also maintained deadly silence, and the low atmosphere almost stagnated the flowing air.

"To desecrate death... is more shameful than to bring about death itself."

For a long time, the ancient Balrog let out a long sigh, and the sigh contained igniting flames:"No matter what the purpose is, the essence of that woman is indeed the Speaker himself, and he also brought... enough to make me angry. information."

The Wendigo was silent, its scarlet pupils exuding ominous resentment and fierce light.

The stone-winged demon raised its head, and the lines of the secret technique spread all over the body along the wings of the tombstone.

"The Parliament declares war on them—the Courts of Kings."
