Chapter 50: Assassination
The night sky was silent, the earth was asleep, and only the dim moonlight fell from the sky, enveloping the city. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
All demons are silent.
It was originally a demon city full of killing and violence all the time, but I don't know who raised it, and the demons gradually began to distinguish between day and night.
During the day, they make a fuss, and in the evening the busiest market begins, and then after the night the fighting ceases, no matter how big it is, and everyone goes back to their houses or lairs, and waits until dawn to continue the battle that had not been completed the day before.
In the noisy White Devil City, the arrival and death of demons are not uncommon, and there are often demons of the giant clan who come forward to settle disputes, and of course, there are problems that giants cannot solve by force.
For example, commercial disputes, resource preemption, and various incidents in which the public says that the public is justified and the mother is reasonable, in this case, all kinds of complicated matters have to be handed over to the demon Grand Duke Doma who is the city lord of the White Devil City to solve.
"What a bunch of rubbish. β
The Demon Grand Duke Thomas sat behind his desk, a pile of paperwork stacked in front of him.
Originally, these documents should be handed over to his subordinates to deal with, but the demons' intelligence is generally low, and it has taken him countless efforts to govern this White Devil City.
Every day, all kinds of news come up from the bottom, and Doma looks at those events in every detail, so that he can easily grasp the dynamics of the whole field, which is an equal effort and reward for him.
However, he was still quite annoyed.
"What a bunch of rubbish. β
Doma cursed again in that hoarse voice.
In front of him was a report of the escape of the demon girl who was supposed to be his fiancΓ©e.
According to the report of the pursuing giant, let the girl escape in the street.
Not only that, but the girl also defeated the undead knight who was sent to intercept the city gate.
Doma is a little strange, that demon girl from the Northern Realm, Clovina, should not have the ability to defeat the undead knight.
However, according to the reports received, a team of undead knights under Doma has completely disappeared.
That kind of power is not something that such a demon can have, unless it is at the level of Belmont.
Doma pondered, and a shadow had already vaguely appeared in his mind.
"It's him ......"
Doma snorted, then suddenly laughed gloomily.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I didn't expect this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fall into my hands again. β
The man under the robe laughed maniacally.
His body was as weak as a dead branch, but even so, he trembled and laughed.
It was a horrible scene, and Domma's office was rather eerie, with blue flames intertwined with crimson flames dancing in the room.
His voice echoed like a wail in a cavern, and the flames shone out of his shadow, which was the appearance of a skeleton.
- Ugh!
There was a sudden silence in the room, except for the small sound that slowly lengthened, as if someone had slashed a sharp iron sword against a dry hardwood, and the two hard things rubbed against each other with a piercing sound.
The shadows in the room suddenly distorted.
A black sword pierced through Doma's shadow, and the robed demon remained in a ridiculous position as if frozen.
In the darkness, the boy gradually revealed.
"Is it just this level?"
Zero pulled out the sword that had stabbed into Dom's body, and there wasn't even a trace of blood on it.
He looked proudly at the frozen demon in his seat, a flash of contempt in his eyes.
"It's just this level that makes the master so worried, and sure enough, the master is too worried. β
Zero sighed slightly.
Originally, his master had only sent him to inquire about the news, but he found that the White Devil City was not well guarded.
Probably like the group of demons he knew, his intelligence level was not very high, so Zero easily infiltrated the core of the entire White Devil City with the help of his ability to change forms, the office of the city lord Dorma.
And now.
The guy who hindered his master had died under the sword, and Zero's heart was filled with joy, and he would definitely be praised by his master when he returned.
He retracted his sword and went to the table to see what Doma was looking at.
"Click!"
But when he reached out and touched the paperwork, suddenly something covered his hand.
- It was a withered hand, and its black skin was full of wrinkles, and it didn't look like it belonged to a demon.
Zero's expression changed suddenly.
He hurriedly withdrew his hand, only to find that the withered hand was holding him tightly like an iron chain.
"You...... Not dead?!"
Zero looked up at the owner of the arm, it was none other than the demon Grand Duke Doma who had been killed by Zero's sword.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
The originally stiff body slowly tilted its head.
The face under the robe and hat was unintelligible, but the eerie voice was enough to show that it was Doma himself.
"Little one, where are you from?"
Dorma grabbed Zero's hand, and Zero was asked by Dorma, only to feel that some power was flowing into his body in his arm.
Zero's expression was shocked, he no longer hesitated, and a short dagger reached out from the palm of his left hand, and quickly slashed towards his right hand, cutting off the entire right hand.
"Courage, alas, some inexperience. β
Thomas complimented the young man in front of him, and with a squeeze of his hand, the whole room suddenly began to twist.
It was a change without warning, and Zero felt that the space around him was shaking, as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast of the wilderness, and the four walls turned into walls of flesh, and the mucus began to secrete, gradually melting his body, and it was about to swallow him completely.
His body sank into the ground.
Zero struggled, but all the strength was taken away.
The scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and the power was drained.
"No...... No...... ...... hosts"
Zero hurriedly shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
But it was as if a big rock was pressing down in his mind, and he wanted to sleep so much that he couldn't think about anything.
"It seems that you are quite faithful to your master. β
Doma slowly walked in front of Zero, and the room had not changed, except that the boy froze in place, looking dazed.
"Master......" the boy muttered, not knowing to whom he was speaking.
"Then, tell me everything about your master, and let me find out who that guy really is. β
Thomas said, leaning into Zero's brain from the back of his head.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, however, Doma felt a powerful force rush out of the boy's sea of consciousness, knocking him to the ground.
"Is it even a defensive barrier? It seems that it is impossible to enter consciousness directly. β
Dorma slowly stood up, patted his robe, and walked over to the bookshelf to look for something.
"So...... So what?"
