Chapter 100: The Shadow of the Devil

As an experienced sheriff, Ares could see that Given's smashing of the gray-haired ape into the stands was not a mistake or a whim, but an unusually precise attack. The giant ape landed right next to Rutgers, crushing him without hurting his life.

Risking this in a public gladiatorial fight, Ares believes that this was never Adella's order, but rather Given's own initiative. So whether as Adelia's friend and half the owner of the arena, he had to ask for a reason.

Hearing the question, Givens looked up at Ares's sharp eyes, and replied calmly, "This is not a fair gladiatorial fight, but a premeditated murder!"

"Murder!" Ares was a little surprised.

"That gray-haired giant ape is best at mind controlling opponents, and that's why you've failed before. ”

Ares' eyes widened, and it suddenly dawned on him, no wonder the previous four games had always been extremely weird, but those summoned beasts were all kinds of beasts, unable to speak, unable to tell what happened to them.

"But what does that have to do with murder?"

"Rutgers was hired by Madame Freddie to bring down your arena, and he just wanted to control me to assassinate Adelia. ”

"How do you know that?" Ares' expression suddenly became serious.

"I forced him to admit it just now. ”

A look of anger immediately flashed across Ares' face. The sheriff, who has fought the dark side of the city for hundreds of years, is not the kind of person who cowers when threatened, and he survives because of his unique way of administering justice.

Now that the Freddie family has extended its black hand to himself, he will never rest on his laurels.

"But you just let Rutgers go?" asked Ares. In Ares' opinion, Given, who has been rumored to be terrifying, should directly screw Rutgers to death in this arena.

"In full view of everyone, let yourself summon beasts to kill, it's not good for Adella. So that's all I can do. ”

Jiwen said his reason, a prospective student of the Royal Summoning Academy took the summoning beast to participate in the arena gladiatorial fight, and if he rashly killed the opponent in the gladiatorial fight, it would be grabbed by people with ulterior motives. Givens didn't want any more twists and turns in Adella's education.

"Yes, you've thought it through. ”

Ares looked at Givens with admiration, and he finally realized that Adelia's summoned beast was not the kind of simple warrior who fought with fighting instincts, and he could hold his weight at critical moments.

"Rutgers is injured now, and when he's out of the arena, it won't be too much trouble to clean him up. At least that's what I thought. ”

Hearing this, Ares laughed.

Yes, now Rutgers has lost a lot of money, and apparently it won't all be his own, and there should be a lot of creditors looking for trouble with him today. Not only that, but neither he nor his arena partner had a personality accustomed to patience. Since Rutgers provoked first, then they will definitely retaliate back. Fighting the Freddy family may require a long period of covert planning, but cleaning up Rutgers is obviously not that difficult.

"Yes, it won't be too much trouble. ”

Ares laughed again, and then left the center of the arena. He had to hurry up and tell his partner and his friends about the challenge.

After Ares left, Gilvin slowly walked to the stands, and at this moment, he found that most of the spectators in the stadium had left the arena stands to collect their bets, and the entire stadium was empty with not many people. On one side of the stands, a familiar figure was quietly waiting for him.

It was Adella, but when Givens got closer, he noticed that her expression was a little strange, and Adelia seemed to be extremely cautious today.

Isn't she happy with the way she ended up treating Rutgers? But it's no wonder that Adelia doesn't know Rutgers' evil intentions, and for her, it's a fair duel that shouldn't end in bloodshed.

Just as Given's speculation was secretly guessing, Adelia started.

"Jiwen, what happened to you just now? Your movements are so strange. ”

Strange?Given's sudden realization that what Adelia was talking about was what happened when the demon took control of his body.

"It's the gray-haired ape, it can control my spirit, so I can't control my body at that time. ”

Given's attempt to fool himself this time out of his mind was that he didn't intend to let the second person know that there was a demon's soul hidden in his body.

"Oh, that's right. ”

Hearing Given's explanation, Adelia answered softly. Just when Jiwen thought that this question had been dealt with, Adelia suddenly asked again, "But why did you answer me in demon language when I tried to telepathize just now?"

The Demon Language is the ancient evil language in the mouths of the elves, and it is impossible for Jiwen to speak the Demon Language.

Jiwen was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that this new question could no longer be confused.

Adella's expression was very serious, because she was also shocked by the frenzied demonic words she had just heard. She never thought she would hear the demon's voice from the psychic message.

She can tolerate that Jiwen hides many secrets from her, but if it is something related to demons, she absolutely has to figure it out completely, because demons are the source of all hatred in her heart. So Adelia stared at Given's mask, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Givens was silent, and he had to weigh the consequences of his different answers.

He knew what demons meant to Adella, and if the question wasn't clarified, or if Adella thought he was lying, the trust he had built up with the summoner would collapse. But what if the truth is revealed? Can Adelia accept the fact that she has a demonic soul hidden in her body?

After weighing the possible outcomes of many answers, he finally decided to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry I missed a detail just now. Just as my spirit was being restrained by the gray-haired monster, a demonic remnant briefly took possession of my body. But now it's been re-suppressed by me. “

Givens spoke slowly, hoping that Adelia would hear the meaning of each word. He still hopes to fulfill the agreement he made with Adella, at least if Adella can indeed become a forbidden spell summoner one day, he may be able to return to his former life.

But hearing this, Adelia's face didn't change any expression, she just continued to ask.

"Who is that demon, the one that failed in my summoning ritual?"

Givenn nodded and replied, "The summoning ritual orchestrated by the demons did fail, but the demon that tried to occupy my body hid a little bit of soul. Although the demon is dead, his remnant soul is still there. “

"So I just heard some meaningless demonic words?"

"Yes, the Demon Remnant should be very weak and broken, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to occupy my body at that time. “

At this point, Givens felt that everything that needed to be said had been said. He paused, gauging Adella's reaction.

Given's plan for the worst is true, and if Adelia can't accept this, it's nothing more than no longer trying to summon herself or break the summoning contract with her. It's a big deal that he waits for the next summoner to come, or by then he has given up his plans to go home, and like Quintus and Harvey, he lives a free but meaningless life in the Forbidden God Space.

After a few seconds of waiting, Adella's cold expression finally showed signs of melting.

"Why didn't you tell me about it before?"

Adelia's question surprised Given, as it seemed to mean something.

"Do you believe what I say?" asked Giving.

"I believe it. ”

Adelia replied earnestly.

Just after listening to Jiwen's explanation just now, Adellia felt relieved, and the heart she had been carrying was also relieved.

She had prepared for the worst. Perhaps Govern does have some connection with the devil and is still trying to deceive himself. But looking at the look on Givan and what he explained, Adelia felt that he was not lying.

She had never told anyone what she had seen at that summoning ceremony, and when Jivin descended into this world, there was indeed a strange purple mist that filled his body, and from now on, that mist must have been the soul of a demon.

She was even a little glad that if it hadn't been for the fact that she had accidentally shattered the demon's soul with the Psychic Fire, then Jiwen might have been controlled by the demon. She couldn't imagine what she would be like today.

Although there is still a demonic remnant in Jiwen's body, as long as he can suppress the remnant soul, then he is still Jiwen, a partner and friend worthy of his trust.

Because he also has two different bloodlines in his body, the elf and the silver dragon, or the blood of being called the son of the silver moon, it doesn't mean that he is a monster or a weirdo. As long as you stick to your heart, you will always be Adella, right?

Now that the results have been confirmed, there is no point in continuing this topic. I saw Adelia say: "Okay, this matter is over, only the two of us know, how about it?"

Hearing this, Jiwen also breathed a sigh of relief, and he found that this elf girl was much calmer and more generous than he imagined. It seems that he and Adelia should continue to cooperate well.

After seeing that both of them let go of their knots, Adelia asked the question she really wanted to ask.

"Then you should be able to tell me why you attacked Rutgers just now, right?"
