"Isn't there anything else you can do?" After being tossed and turned, I couldn't help but shout at Malthus.

"Not even you, what can I do?" Malthus said angrily, knowing that he had always spoken to me in a tone before, and this time it seemed that he was also in a hurry. But the current situation is really depressing, if you want to fight, you can't win, you can't escape if you want to, you can't just keep consuming them with Gragon, right? Damn, if only there was no troublesome "edict" from the fourth child....

"Edict!" I couldn't help but think of this, and a bold idea popped into my head, which I still think is too risky and too evil, but at the time I had no choice but to do so...

"Malthus, can you find a way to hold them off on your own first?"

"Yes, but do you want to do it?"

"Let Gragon suffer the consequences!"

Malthus was stunned, as if he didn't understand what I was trying to do, but in the end he obediently put me in a corner of the church, and then crossed over to Gragon and the others to chant to them, and then a black mist quickly surrounded them...

"Dream Prison!" The first to react was still Gragon, but before the "Fire Demon King" made a move, his expression immediately became weird, as I said before, Gragon's face is very much like a rough mask, you can't even find the facial features from it, some are just huge holes, but at this moment these holes form an extremely peculiar shape, as if they are laughing, but that smile reveals a strange evil aura. Then he watched as Gragon's whole body began to shake, as if he was drunk, and the people around him began to dance one by one, crying or laughing, in short, the reactions were strange, varied, and with the dilapidated buildings around him, the whole picture revealed an indescribable gloom.

"Hurry up, I can't trap them for long!" Malthus said loudly, with a serious expression on his face, I know that at the moment it is using a spell to temporarily hypnotize Gragon and others, these guys are trapped in their own dreams, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break free from them, so they can only keep dreaming like this, until they finally die of exhaustion, so this spell is called "Dream Prison", to put it bluntly, it is a dream cage, because controlling dreams is the innate talent of the Dream Demon Clan, so this itself is not considered "black magic", so it is not subject to the "edict" of the fourth child, But the problem is that there is a Gragon in the opponent's array at this moment, and the mana of the "King of the Fire Demon" was originally at the same level as Malthus, and now the latter has cut off part of the spirit body in order to hide his identity, and his strength is greatly reduced, so he can't control Gragon for a long time, and it won't take long for the strength of the "King of the Fire Demon" to wake up, but for me, this time is enough!

"O geist on the brink of life and death, I command you, as the Children of Chaos, Lord of the Night, to wake up from a long slumber!" I began to chant incantations while Malthus was working on the "Dream Prison", and soon the whole church began to shake violently, and I could clearly feel a huge energy surging in the air.

"Damn!" Almost at the same time, Gragon was the first to wake up from the shackles of the "Dream Prison", sure enough, with Malthus's current mana, he couldn't control it for long, and the "Fire Demon King" who realized that he had been fooled was furious at the moment, roaring and preparing to attack Malthus, you can even clearly see the fireball in its hand, but when he saw the situation in front of him, Gragon was stunned, and his mask-like face gradually showed a look of surprise.

"You, you... What are you doing!?" Gragon asked.

"Just to let you meet your old friends!" I sneered slightly, almost at the same time the church began to reverberate with gusts of violent wind, the wind was terrible, as if countless souls were screaming, screaming, although it was still daytime, but the atmosphere in the whole church suddenly became terrifying, even Gragon was a little overwhelmed by what was happening in front of him, and gradually those "winds" became clearer and clearer, it was really a human voice, gray figures swayed and floated out of the gloom of the church, at first their images were very faint, It looked like a mirage, but it soon became clear that they were young and old, men and women, many of them with mutilated bodies, clearly the marks of the fire, their eyes hollow and lifeless, just moving mechanically like puppets manipulated.

"Now I grant you freedom and strength, that you no longer have to hover on the edge of life and death, go and take revenge on those who took your life, and let them experience your long suffering, sorrow, despair, and revenge!" I said aloud like a crappy theatrician on the altar, looking back on that scene was indeed a bit funny, but none of the people present laughed, but with my order, those wandering spirits suddenly stopped, and then an incredible scene happened, their original human form suddenly turned into demons in the blink of an eye, yes, the kind of demons that are common in religious pictures, huge, vicious, ugly, and behind them there are bursts of dark red light, like coagulated blood, Those pairs of originally empty eyes suddenly bloomed with blood-red light, from which you can only feel one emotion, the most primitive and strongest emotion in heaven and earth - hatred!

"Woo~" I don't know which geist was the first to let out a roar, and then I saw those guys start to pounce on Gragon like wolves...

"Damn, you guys stop it! Don't you recognize who I am!?" Gragon shouted as he called out the spirit that was coming at him, and what he saw clearly made it panic.

"It's useless, they have my power now, and from now on they will never be under your control again!" Looking at Gragon's panicked appearance, I couldn't help but stand aside and say coldly, as if a fire was rising in my heart.

"How is this possible, your mana... Damn, there is no "edict" on these guys!" Don't look at Gragon's rough personality, his mind is not slow, and he quickly realized the crux of the problem, it is true that due to the "edict" of the fourth, my magic power is ineffective on these guys, but those wandering spirits trapped here are different, they are not protected by the fourth, although Gragon deceived their souls, but as a demon king, I still have the ability to exert influence on these people, and now they have been converted from humans to demons, although due to the difference in rank, if they fight alone, none of them are Gragon's opponents, But if there are so many together, then even the "King of Fire Demons" may be difficult to parry. Of course, until now I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do at the time, although it was forced by the situation to forcibly convert these people into demons in order to get out, especially since most of them were still cultists before they died, which sounds a bit selfish and even cruel. Sometimes I think that I am not as kind as I think I am, right?
