"Since you know it in your heart, then admit it openly."
Irina stared straight at Josh. Her azure blue eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. The faint golden Holy Light landed on her, making her look like a goddess.
Anyone could tell that Irina was targeting Josh.
The various representatives looked at Josh and Irina with shock and uncertainty. The feud between the two of them was not rare on the Norland Continent.
There was a rumor in the early years that the king of the Roth Empire and the elven queen had discussed a marriage alliance. Josh and Irina might have already been engaged.
It was said that it was because of this that Irina left The Wind Forest for the first time to travel the continent. That led to a series of legendary stories, as well as the many legends she left behind with Alex on the Norland Continent.
No one knew what Josh was thinking, but more than three years ago, Alex was ambushed in Rodu, and disappeared without a trace. There were rumors that he died on a rainy night.
Irina went into seclusion, and there were no more legends about this heroic couple.
The Roth Empire blamed it on an enemy's attack, but all the other forces knew about it.
Furthermore, there were also people who were involved in the ambush on that rainy night. Westin retreated to a corner, and sized up Josh, Irina, and Alex carefully.
Very few people knew that Alex and Irina had a daughter. She disappeared with Alex back then, and no one knew if she was dead or alive.
Josh and Alex had a feud that would not end until one of them was dead. Irina obviously knew the truth, so he was not sure if Irina was trying to take revenge on Josh with the excuse of the devil, or if she had really discovered something.
Everyone present had the same mentality, so they were cautious and did not rush to express their opinions.
"Irina, don't you dare slander His Highness the second prince!" Richard shouted in a low voice. He stood protectively beside Josh and looked at Irina cautiously.
The knight beside Joshua was also standing guard beside him with his sword in hand, and he appeared to be quite nervous.
"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us. This is the first time I've come here, and I've seen this demon. How can I be a traitor?" Joshua did not try to hide anything. Instead, he looked at Irina in surprise.
"Perhaps you don't know, but the first person I came into contact with who exchanged souls with the devil was Borg. He attempted to use demonic energy to invade the Tree of Life and strengthen himself with it. In the end, his soul was controlled by the devil, so I killed him."
"Next was Ferdinand from the Falk Tribe. He also exchanged his soul with the devil and released the devil in his heart. He plotted to kill his family, and I used the Holy Light to dispel the demonic aura on him."
"No one knows demons better than I do. The Holy Light will guide me."
Irina raised the magic caster's staff in her hand, and a dazzling holy light began to condense.
"Irina! Stop what you're doing now! If you attack the second prince for no reason, you and the Night Elves will have to bear the wrath of the Roth Empire. " Richard shouted in a low voice as he raised his hand to form a magic barrier. At the same time, he pointed the magic wand in his hand at Irina.
"Irina, don't be rash," Michael also said. Everything happened so suddenly, and this was not part of their plan.
Joshua was the second prince of the Roth Empire. Now that they were facing a great enemy, it was time for all the races to work together. If Irina really hurt Joshua and incurred the wrath and displeasure of the Roth Empire, it would be adding insult to injury.
"Since that's the case, I'll let you see what he did earlier." Irina tossed out an image-recording stone. The image of everyone attacking the devil together appeared, and the focus of the image was on Joshua.
When everyone was attacking the octopus monster from afar, Joshua released an explosive fireball. The fireball was mixed in with all the magic spells, but it did not fly towards the octopus monster. Instead, it slanted to the side and landed at the edge of the spell formation.
However, at the instant that the fireball landed, a light shield appeared on the ground and absorbed all the power of the fireball.
"This?!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically when they saw this scene.
After experiencing the terrifying power of that devil, they had already realized the significance of this seemingly thin sealing spell formation.
However, Joshua's explosive fireball just now almost destroyed the spell formation and killed everyone here.
Everyone looked at Joshua with anger and questioning gazes.
Even Richard and that knight from the Roth Empire had a slight change of expression.
"How did this happen?!" Josh's expression was not as calm as everyone else's. Instead, he looked at the image that was still playing on loop in mid-air with a look of disbelief as he muttered, "My attack was clearly aimed at that octopus monster, so why did it appear there? This is completely different from what I saw. "
"Stop pretending. I already felt that you were a little strange when we were at the restaurant," Irina said coldly with a frown.
"Irina, I know you have resentment and misunderstandings towards me. I will explain it to you in the future. However, as the second prince of the Roth Empire, I have everything that others can't even dream of having. Why should I exchange my soul with the devil and become like Ferdinand, who is neither human nor ghost? " Joshua shook his head, and said sorrowfully and self-reproachfully, "I was too careless. Ever since I entered this cave, I had an inexplicable feeling of fear. I acted hastily just now because I wanted to do my part. Now that I see this scene, perhaps my mind was already controlled by that devil from the moment I entered the cave, and almost caused a disaster. I was too weak, and my mind was not strong enough. That gave the devil a chance to take advantage of me. "
"Luckily, you noticed the abnormality and stopped the disaster from happening. If I had really released this devil, I would not be able to redeem myself even if I died a thousand times." Joshua looked at Irina gratefully. He took two steps forward, and looked at her frankly. "If there is still demonic aura on me, or if I am possessed by an evil spirit, please use the Holy Light to expel it for me. I, Joshua, am magnanimous. I would rather die than be controlled and used by a devil!"
"Your Highness!" Richard wanted to go forward.
"President, don't come forward." Joshua raised his hand to stop Richard. With a serious expression, he said, "This concerns the future of the Norland Continent. I believe in Irina. If the devil really controlled me and I didn't know, I would really become a sinner for all eternity."
Joshua's words were honest and sincere, and made the various representatives fall into deep thought.
Even a top powerhouse like Louis could be controlled by the devil. It didn't seem hard to understand that Joshua, who was only at the 7th-tier, would be controlled by the devil to do such a thing.
Meanwhile, Joshua's attitude made the crowd admire him.
"Those who dare to fight for the throne are indeed not simple." Meg looked at the honest Joshua, and frowned slightly.
