Chapter 273: Dekan Tearfully Takes Down a Powerful Ally |
The moment the Saintess of Darkness managed to see Dekan's demonic figure, her body began to tremble violently.
The Saintess of Darkness only felt an endless fear enveloping her like a dark cloud, suffocating her.
“Ah… ah…”
The Saintess of Darkness' expression gradually became terrified, and her eyes grew redder and redder.
She seemed to want to speak, but she could not control her vocal cords at all.
The little bit of strength she had managed to muster was about to dissipate completely along with her hope.
In her eyes, the magic on Dekan seemed to be able to materialize.
That seemingly visible, supreme and most evil Demon King magic was being controlled by Dekan at will as if it were a servant.
This could only mean one thing.
Although she was different from the Demon King in her memory.
But the one here at this moment was undoubtedly a genuine Demon King.
The Saintess of Darkness quickly understood.
During the time she was sealed, the Demon King had already changed generations.
And this current Demon King.
Was a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than the original Demon King!
Originally, no matter how powerful the force or how evil the aura, it would not have made the Saintess of Darkness feel fear.
What terrified her was the bizarre scene before her.
She saw several humans before her, seemingly getting along harmoniously with the Demon King like partners.
As if they were really a group of close friends!
This succubus Demon King's ability to control the human spirit had probably reached a level she could not comprehend!
To be able to turn mind control or brainwashing into this state!
No matter how real it looked.
The Saintess of Darkness knew that all of this was fake.
All the goodwill of demons was just an act.
Because they would not feel any guilt no matter what they did, and could not even understand what malice was. All their disguises were just for toying with and hunting humans.
They were just humanoid creatures that looked like humans.
Believing in demons would only lead to corruption or death.
The more harmless this succubus Demon King looked, the more it made the Saintess of Darkness' hair stand on end.
The Saintess of Darkness made a decisive decision and chose to destroy herself with the little magic she had left!
She absolutely could not let this succubus control her mind!
“Hey, hey!”
Dekan frowned, seeming to have sensed the Saintess of Darkness' reaction, and quickly looked at Cloix.
And Cloix also sensed the movement of the Saintess of Darkness' magic.
Although she was Rank 8, after being sealed for many years, her health, mana, and stamina were all empty, and she had almost lost all combat effectiveness.
She needed emergency treatment.
Cloix immediately launched a magic attack on her.
“Hehe…”
The Saintess of Darkness laughed mockingly.
Although she felt a fatal pain.
She could finally be free.
However.
Amidst the Saintess of Darkness' painful moans.
She found that her condition was unexpectedly getting better.
“???”
The Saintess of Darkness looked at the human mage before her, questioning her existence.
It did not take long for her to figure out the situation.
Had the new Demon King found an excellent interrogator?
One who could provide healing while inflicting torture?
This endless torment.
If she held on.
She might suffer unimaginable pain at all times until the end of her life.
Suddenly, the Saintess of Darkness felt a bit of despair.
“Let me explain first, we are here to save you.”
Seeing that the Saintess of Darkness had finally calmed down, Dekan said gently.
“Hehe.”
The Saintess of Darkness raised her head and glared at Dekan as if looking at a mortal enemy. Her eyes, which seemed to be burning with flames, indicated that she would still choose to persist to the end.
“…Can you cooperate with us a little?”
Dekan naturally understood the Saintess of Darkness' reaction and said with a frown.
Saintess of Darkness: “Whether you want to torture me or control my mind, just come at me. Let's see if you can get what you want!”
“No, why can't you listen to reason!”
Dekan had originally thought the Saintess of Darkness was a wise person, but he had not expected her to be another person who was impossible to communicate with!
“Wait.”
However, at this moment.
Clay seemed to have realized the problem, patted Dekan on the shoulder and said:
“Is there a possibility that it's not her problem? From her perspective, your problem is a bit serious.”
Dekan looked at the people around him with some confusion.
He saw that Cornelia was currently supporting the Saintess of Darkness, but with just a little force, she could break the weak Saintess of Darkness' bones.
And Cloix was still continuously healing the Saintess of Darkness.
Beside them, there was a very ominous-looking human holding a cat and watching the show, seemingly already calculating the remaining value of the Saintess of Darkness.
Only Clay looked like a normal person.
Dekan: “…”
He suddenly discovered a very serious problem.
The mechanism of the eighth level seemed to have already determined that it was impossible for the Saintess of Darkness to easily believe him.
It seemed that for a while, it was really impossible to explain clearly.
Just as he had scared Warden Karst earlier, he was now scaring the Saintess of Darkness.
It was too real.
So real that it was irrefutable!
On this level, Dekan's Demon King status special effects were almost maxed out.
If Dekan still stubbornly said that he was not a demon, it would be like treating the Saintess of Darkness as a fool.
It was precisely because the Saintess of Darkness was not a fool that he could not fool her now!
“I was overthinking it…”
Dekan covered his face.
Just in her current state, for the Saintess of Darkness to recover her full Rank 8 combat power would probably take another ten days to half a month.
And he was still hoping for the Saintess of Darkness to help him?
It would be a success if he could just keep her from committing suicide!
In the mission's design, this person was not a powerful ally at all.
But a negative combat power that super-sized the difficulty!
If by any chance the Saintess of Darkness committed suicide, this entire Shadow World would be screwed.
Dekan felt so tired for a moment.
He had fought his way down from the first level alone, endured so much, and was still misunderstood as a demon.
He was clearly such a pure and hardworking person.
If it were in the past, no matter who took him for a demon, he would have to properly persuade them with virtue.
But this time, he really could not say anything.
Since it was already hopeless, he might as well just go with the flow.
So Dekan handed a syringe of medicine to Cornelia with an extremely pained expression.
Cornelia understood in a second.
With extra familiarity, she plunged it into the Saintess of Darkness' neck.
“THUMP!”
The Saintess of Darkness' eyes widened as she fell to the ground, unable to move.
She felt her body was completely paralyzed.
“Work's done.”
Dekan shook his head helplessly and walked towards the portal to the ninth level.
Cornelia carefully carried the Saintess of Darkness on her back and said to her patiently in a soft voice:
“We will protect you and take you away from the Demon Realm.”
The Saintess of Darkness just stared with wide eyes, unable to speak.
She had a feeling.
Compared to being taken away by these people, was it actually safer to stay in the Demon Realm Prison?!
