Soul of Burning Steel

There are times when demons are more secretive than humans.

Of course, definitely not now.

After hearing Joshua's words, Laldan Asi was very grateful that the human being who was stepping on his head didn't seem to intend to kill it for the time being. But unfortunately, this is just lingering for a while, not to mention that it will not live long after being seriously injured. If it takes too long, when the strong enough to penetrate the abyss comes, its body will be afraid. Not to suffer too.

As a demon who takes pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, Lal Danas understands that as long as it is alive, human beings have ten thousand ways to get the information they want, and in this world where magic flourishes, death may not be able to avoid this. One point, countless necromancers are worried that there are not enough experimental products, and they don't mind cutting open a demon's soul at all, and take out the news they want.

This led to a very embarrassing thing-it was impossible to live, let alone dead.

Above the head, there were magical fluctuations, and Laldan Asi noticed that the surrounding city guards had begun to wake up gradually, and several footsteps came towards this direction.

In this regard, this one-eyed demon is not afraid. Anyway, it is ready to tell everyone what it knows if someone asks it. Even this clone cannot escape the fate of destruction in the end. It would rather blew itself up. , and I don't want to try the feeling that the soul is being dug open over and over again.

Anyway, demons have never had any sense of propriety, justice, shame, integrity, and morality, so just say what you want to say.

Because its head was stepped into the soil, the one-eyed demon couldn't hear clearly who and what the human beings were talking to, but it didn't dare to struggle or even move. It could only feel the blood and internal organs slowly. It felt like an outflow, but after a not too long period of time, Lal Danas felt a hand grabbing the broken magic horn on his head and pulling it out of the soil.

"Listen, demon."

The soldier's familiar voice came: "If you don't want your soul to be roasted by the holy fire, then I will ask and you will answer."

— the same scene, not so long ago.

The big silver sword in his hand was transformed into a petite silver-haired girl holding his hand with a flash of magic power, and the big black ax stuck on the ground not far away also returned to its youthful form, heading towards where Joshua was. come.

"Master, you only use my sister this time, so you put me in there alone!"

Before approaching, Rin's complaints followed, and the black-haired boy looked unhappy: "Too eccentric!"

Hearing her younger brother's complaint, Ying smiled slightly, held Joshua's hand tightly, and did not speak.

Because the ax is suitable for chopping big things, it's a bit difficult to chop the devil - it's plugged in easily.

Without saying this sentence, the soldier just rubbed the head of his little butler, frowning and thinking at the same time.

Just now, when he was in the Mage Association, he suddenly had a vague premonition for no reason. He felt that there would be a chaotic atmosphere somewhere, but because it was just a premonition, he hesitated and didn't start looking for it immediately. After a while, the Azure Orb vibrated, and there was a reaction of awareness of chaos, and the vague premonition turned into a seemingly real image, showing everything in the sacrificial place before his eyes.

This feeling cannot be narrated to others. Before witnessing it with his own eyes, Joshua could not believe that it was actually a real thing. disasters around.

Behind him, familiar footsteps sounded, and Joshua turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the blond swordsman with a surprised and unbelievable expression.

Brandon walked to the side of the warrior. He bent down and observed the demon who dared not move under Joshua's feet. After sighing with emotion, he said, "Peak Gold, the great demon in the spiritual realm, if you hadn't cut it open If you desecrate the magic circle and break through the perception barrier, then when the summoning is successful, the demon will launch a large-scale attack, and at least tens of thousands of people will be killed or injured in the imperial capital, causing great panic."

"At that time, the royal family and the empire will lose face, the ceremony will not be able to start, and all the high-level officials of the city guards and imperial guards will be demoted... Your sword has saved at least dozens of people's official positions."

He raised his head and looked at Joshua, with a complicated expression on his face: "Although you are close to me and can't use my full strength, you can kill such a demon so easily... Joshua, do you want to advance..."

"Not so far."

Shaking his head, Joshua looked at the system's [2/30] task prompt bar at the edge of the retina, and immediately changed his words: "Actually, it's still quite a bit worse."

This answer is irrelevant, and Brandon naturally had an estimate in his heart. He nodded to express his understanding, and then the swordsman lowered his head and frowned at the demon: "Why do you keep this demon?"

"There's something I want to confirm."

Speaking casually, Joshua reached out, grabbed the demon's severed horn, and then roughly pulled it up: "Listen, demon."

He said in a tone that could not be refused: "I ask, you answer."

"Yes, a strong human being."

The head of the one-eyed demon was pulled out from the soil. It quickly realized that the rift in time and space had been completely closed, and the connection with the main body was completely severed. : "Everything, everything, as long as you want to know, I will tell you all!"

"...?"

Brandon looked at the demon with a strange face, his eyes were full of doubts, he turned to look at Joshua, and found that the two guys seemed to think this kind of conversation was normal, which made the swordsman feel very incredible .

When - the devil will cooperate like this?

Shouldn't the normal rhythm be all kinds of coercion and coercion, and torture the soul to get a little bit of news? !

But he didn't understand that normal demons don't have any brains at all, and no matter how hard they ask, it is impossible to force them to ask something they can't remember, and only intelligent monsters like Laldan As can communicate.

Joshua was very familiar with this kind of reaction from demons. He quickly asked some questions that Brandon didn't understand at all, such as who was the lord of the twenty-seventh floor of the abyss, and whether the Blood Rain Plain on the thirteenth floor had started. Building the Temple of Bones, what is the recent movement of the controller of the Valley of Tears Fortress, and whether the abyss waterfall that runs through almost all the abysses shows signs of drying up.

The blond swordsman couldn't understand any of these questions. He knew that the abyss had many layers, but he didn't know which layer was called, let alone those special nouns. Even the archmage who is most proficient in demonology may not be able to fully understand the hidden existence.

"The lord of the twenty-seventh floor is Mouldari, the king of ghouls, the Temple of Bones? I don't know. The lord from the Valley of Tears has not come out of his castle recently... The deep river Styx has indeed shrunk, but Not exhausted..."

And the one-eyed devil also answered one by one neatly. If you don't know, say you don't know. If you know, you can say it as clearly as possible. The conversation between the two is very fast. It has begun to fail to keep up with the amount of information in the dialogue between the two parties.

Brandon on the side also couldn't understand, but he gradually grasped the context of the conversation.

Joshua seems to be confirming the map of forces in the abyss and the corresponding movements through repeated inquiries, but this is what makes him very puzzled. You know, most people don't even know the existence of the abyss, even if they are soldiers. This kind of chaotic guardian is also unlikely to know the situation in the sealed sunken world, but now it seems that the other party is more familiar with the abyss than this one-eyed demon, because during the process of questioning, it can't answer. Know more and more times.

But it seems that the prototype of the Azure Orb is the fire of order taken out by the sages from the abyss. The sages must have been to the abyss. Thinking of what Joshua said when he communicated with him, Brandon felt that this was not surprising. things.

Not long after, the questioning ended, and Joshua nodded slightly: "It seems that there is not much change—it's better to say that there is no change."

This group of demons had no plans to start invading the Mycroft world. They were fighting each other as usual, without any intention of working together.

It was indeed the case. If the seal of the abyss hadn't been inexplicably lifted in the later generations, and the gate of the abyss had opened, these demons would probably still be fighting among themselves and beat each other's brains out. Who would have the heart to invade other worlds.

"However, you repeat."

After thinking for a long time, Joshua lowered his head and said to the silent demon, "Are you sure, you saw a group of dragons in the plague swamp... Wait?"

After getting a little closer, Joshua confirmed it: "Dead?"

This incident really surprised him. The soldier tried to kick it, and then found that the huge monster had indeed stopped moving, and the breath of life had completely dissipated. This not only made him frown: "Suicide?"

"I think it's just blood loss."

Brandon glanced at the one-eyed demon's abdomen - Joshua caused a huge wound there, almost all of the monster's body fluids and internal organs flowed out, that is, the demon has the vitality to struggle to this day, even if it is a giant dragon, it is This kind of injury has already gone to meet the dragon god: "This demon was on the verge of death, and you asked so many questions, it is normal to die."

"I forgot that it's just a clone, only gold-level, so I can't help but beat it... to save it, and I originally planned to give it to Master Nostradamus to see if there are other hidden messages in its soul. "

Sighing, Joshua looked at the city guards who were gradually approaching and cleaning up the ruins along the way, while Brandon took out a mirror with a communication circle from his waist, and the swordsman glanced at the message on it , and then shrugged to Joshua: "Coincidentally, Joshua, Teacher Nostradamus just wanted to see you."

When he said this, his tone became a little serious: "Of course, with His Majesty the Emperor."

After yesterday’s update, I went to the airport to pick up my luggage. I fell asleep in the afternoon because I was too sleepy. I thought two or three hours of sleep would be enough... I’m sorry!
