The war had ended. After the revelry at the front line, the alliance army began to organize a retreat.
As the number of casualties was controllable, the injured received appropriate treatment.
The giant dragons even took the initiative to send Chaos City and the Night Elves back to Chaos City. Of course, this was also because it was on the way.
Meg was not in a hurry to leave. Although Cthulhu was sealed, it was not over yet.
Jonas joined forces with several 10th-tier formation masters to set up several powerful spell formations outside the sealing spell formation. While reinforcing the spell formation, it was also to prevent others from breaking in and removing the seal.
Apart from that, the various races also stationed 10th-tier powerhouses to guard the area, and set the rules of rotation. The duration was three years, and the first round would be guarded by the Roth Empire, the giant dragons, and the orcs.
Apart from that, Rankster, who had yet to wake up, was also a problem that gave Meg a headache.
Elizabeth was still waiting beside Rankster with a worried expression.
She looked much thinner after leaving Amy's for more than a month.
Louis and Douglas stood at a distance. They were also troubled by how to solve Rankster's problem.
Irina had already used the Holy Light Technique to perform a few rounds of deep cleansing on Rankster, and dispel all the Black Demon aura in his body.
However, Cthulhu was so cunning. No one knew if Rankster could really regain his consciousness.
Rankster was very powerful and dangerous.
Furthermore, they still did not know how he became possessed. These were all things that needed to be traced back.
After Irina treated Rankster's injuries again, Rankster, who had been unconscious for a few hours, finally woke up.
His eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes. It was a pair of clear, golden eyes.
He was stunned when he saw the snowy scene. He tried to stand up, but he was trapped by the seal, and could not move.
"Father!"
Elizabeth could not hide her excitement as she called out to Rankster.
Rankster looked up at Elizabeth. After a moment of silence, he said, "Elizabeth?"
"Yes, Father. It's me! Elizabeth. " Elizabeth quickly nodded. She looked at Elizabeth, who was trapped by the seal, with heartache in her eyes.
"Why are you here? That devil … "Rankster seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly became tense. Golden light shone from his body as he tried to break free from the seal.
"The demon has been resealed. Father, you don't have to worry. We're safe now," Elizabeth quickly said.
"There seems to be no problem," Irina whispered to Meg.
"I still need to observe a little more." Meg was noncommittal. Back when Joshua was being controlled by the demon, he did not show any signs of abnormality and fooled countless people.
Douglas and Louis were also overjoyed. If Rankster could regain his consciousness, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the giant dragons.
"Has it been sealed again?" Rankster was slightly taken aback. His gaze turned, and landed on Meg, who was standing at the side. He was shocked. "Alex? Why are you here? "
However, a pained expression soon appeared on his face, and some messy memory fragments began to flash in his mind.
"Father!" Elizabeth looked at him nervously.
After a long time, Rankster digested those memories, and sighed with a grave expression. "I am a sinful dragon."
Meg stepped forward, and said to Rankster, "It seems like you have remembered some things. You don't have to be too guilty. However, we need to know what happened between you and Cthulhu. Why did you appear in the sealed cave under Dragon Island? And why did you follow Cthulhu here? "
Rankster pondered for a while, and said, "Three years ago, I discovered that ancient ruin under Dragon Island. Because there was black demonic aura leaking out, and there was a terrifying aura, I stayed behind to watch and observe.
However, I did not expect that black demonic aura to slowly erode my consciousness, and I was finally controlled by it. When it escaped, I tried to kill it, but I was far from being its match, and was completely controlled.
After that, I lost all my memories. However, I remembered some fragments just now. It brought me to the ice field, and started to dig and summon ancient corpses. You and I even fought before, and I also killed humans and my tribesmen … "
Rankster's voice was a little low with deep self-reproach.
As a proud giant dragon, he could not accept becoming the devil's accomplice and bringing disaster to this world.
Moreover, he had personally killed dozens of giant dragons and hundreds of allied forces. His hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people.
Meg nodded slightly. It was not much different from what he had expected.
Before this, almost no one knew what kind of existence the Great Old Ones were. Rankster was controlled by Cthulhu when he was unprepared. After he failed to resist, he became a puppet.
However, with the will of a powerhouse, he at least managed to preserve his own consciousness.
For someone with a weak will like Josh, his soul was quickly devoured, and he became a tool.
"How is your body condition now? Can Cthulhu still exert any influence on you? Does his aura still remain in your body? "Meg asked.
This was very important.
Elizabeth also looked at Rankster nervously.
Douglas and Louis looked at each other. This concerned whether Rankster could regain his freedom.
Rankster closed his eyes, and his body glowed with a faint silver light.
Not long after, wisps of black gas were forced out from between his scales. They dissipated after coming into contact with the sealing array formation.
Rankster opened his eyes, and calmly said, "The demonic aura that I can sense has been expelled from my body. It should be because Cthulhu has been sealed. I am no longer affected by it now."
Meg nodded slightly.
He looked at Louis and Douglas.
These two were respected seniors of the dragon race, and they were considered to be people who had a good relationship with Rankster.
Douglas stepped forward and looked at Rankster. Then, he looked at Meg, and said, "Alex, Rankster was controlled by the devil previously, and that was why he did all kinds of killing. Now that he has regained his consciousness, we dragons hope to let him return."
Louis also nodded, and said, "We can't blame him for this. We all know how powerful Cthulhu is. It is already very difficult for him to retain his consciousness. If he continued to kill each other, he would only fall into Cthulhu's trap."
"That's good too. This was not Rankster's fault. Now that he has broken free from Cthulhu's control, it is naturally the best that he can start his life again." Meg nodded. Even if it was for Elizabeth and Yabemiya, he would not make things difficult for Rankster.
Moreover, just as the two of them said, Cthulhu was an existence beyond the knowledge of this world. Being controlled by him was not something that anyone could change with their will.
