Chapter Seventy-Three: The Invisible Reaper
'Don't!' With a shout, I woke up from a nightmare.
'Are you awake?' At this moment, a cold female voice sounded, and I looked up to see a resolute face appear in front of me.
'Elena!' I barely screamed, how could it be here? It was only then that I found myself lying in some ornate carriage, my hands and feet handcuffed, and I tried to get up, but I felt a splitting headache when I moved slightly.
'You're not in a stable state right now, so it's better to lie down.' Seeing this, Elena said coldly.
'How did I end up here?'
'You and Antona tried to go to Mont San Michel to rob the prison, but they fell into the trap of the Holy See, and Lancelop tried to extract the 'Demon King's Soul' from your body, but unfortunately Dacula rushed to stop it, and then they fought a big battle, and the entire dungeon collapsed, but fortunately, Dacula finally got you out in time.' Elena's voice was beautiful, but when she spoke, her tone was surprisingly cold, as if she had no interest in everything around her.
'Wait, you just said Lancelop!'
'Yes, Gregory, the chief priest of the Holy See today. Lancelop.'
'How is this possible...' I exclaimed, could it be that the old man in black that night was actually the chief priest of the Holy See today!? And he actually wants to extract the soul of the demon king in my body, wouldn't he know the consequences of doing so?
As if seeing my doubt, Elena shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's normal, after all, it's also a demon.'
'What!?' I sat up from my chair in amazement, my mouth wide open enough to fit an apple straight in.
Elena smiled at this, it was the first time I had ever seen her laugh in person, and although it was mostly mocking, I couldn't help but feel my heart move.
"Actually, we were also surprised when we first learned about it, the chief high priest of the dignified Holy See is actually a demon, I am afraid there is nothing more ironic in this world, but after what happened in the dungeon that night, we can now be completely sure that the guy is the demon, and he is also one of the 'seventy-two commanders'."
"How is this possible..." At that time, I felt that my head was completely messed up into a pot of porridge, as everyone knows, the demon race has a clear hierarchy like the heavenly realm, among which the demon king has the most respectful status, followed by the twelve "children" split from his own body, that is, the so-called "twelve demon gods", and each demon god is in charge of a different number of demons under their own hands, because there are too many daily affairs, so in order to facilitate the management, each demon god commands six senior assistants, which is also the so-called "seventy-two commanders", This group of guys can be regarded as the real elite of the demon race, for example, Dacula was one of them when he met before, don't look at it now in the realm of majesty, known as the "King of Vampires", but in the hierarchy of the demon race, it actually has to obey the "love" of one of the "twelve demon gods", but to say that the dignified "seventy-two commanders" can actually blend into the Holy See and become the chief high priest, this matter can only be described as absurd, but then again, I do think the voice of this black-robed old man is very familiar, In retrospect, it must have been ...
"It's Malthus!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, among the demons, the only one who can deceive the eyes and ears of the heavenly realm and successfully infiltrate the Holy See without being discovered for decades, and can force Dacula to take action in person is probably only our "invisible reaper". ”
Indeed, in this way, everything will be acquainted, the dream demon clan can freely travel between the two dimensions of spirit and matter, so even the angel clan is extremely difficult to capture their whereabouts, and Malthus, who is the elite of the dream demon clan, is a master of this way, in the "starting point war" it has used this characteristic more than once to hunt the enemy silently, and the other party didn't even figure out what was going on until he died, the most exaggerated thing is that it cut off the heads of one hundred and eight angels in one battle, Since then, it has been given a nickname "Invisible Reaper" that has resounded through the gods and demons for two sessions, perhaps because the name is too loud, and then it has become one of the demons with the highest appearance rate in various "mythological stories", and it is said that whenever the night comes, it will wander around the world, and break into their dreams while people are asleep, and can take the opportunity to seize people's souls, which is said to be the reason why people have nightmares, and almost the vast majority of people in the world today are called "Malthus" by adults when they were children because they did not sleep well The name has been intimidated.,Maybe it's because the legend is too wide.,So it's hard to confirm its true whereabouts now.,I didn't expect it to sneak into the Holy See.。。。
"But why would it do that?" I still have some doubts in my mind.
"I think I also want to resurrect "Your Majesty", after all, in addition to our demons in the world today, probably only the Holy See will be the most keen to collect information about "Your Majesty", right? It should have felt that it would be much easier to do something in a high position in the Holy See. For example, didn't it almost succeed this time? ”
Oh my God, first there was a group of vampires in the north who set up an unknown "demon king" to try to dominate the world, and then a dream demon infiltrated the Holy See and was in a high position, and now I understand how the world has become such a mess, and God knows if there will be more nonsense.
"And what do you want to do with me next?"
"What do you say?" Elena asked rhetorically.
"Have you really found the other Demon King's Souls? ”
"Yo, you seem to know a lot? But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, and I don't have anything to say right now. ”
"So where are you taking me? What about my friends? ”
"Oh, if it's the group of beauties who asked you, just rest assured, they are not in danger for the time being, as long as you are willing to cooperate obediently, we will try to be patient not to bite off their delicate necks first. As for where to go next ... You will soon find out ... ”
Looking at Yelena's sharp eyes, I vaguely realized that nothing good awaited me next.
"It's here, get out of the car." When the car door opened, a biting cold wind poured in, I subconsciously shivered, Ilena escorted me out of the car, looking up at the surroundings can really only be described as ice and snow, it seems that this should be deep in the far north of the inland, that is, the legend of the so-called "death zone" not protected by God, not far from us is a lake, but because the weather is too cold, the whole lake has been frozen at this time, from a distance it looks like a huge mirror, And on the shore of the lake stands a majestic castle, and God knows how much time and effort it takes to build such a huge structure in such a deserted and scarce place, and St. Laudrup seems a little poor compared to it, but for some reason you can always feel a strong gloom, even fear, in it, as if it were the harsh environment around you.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Bezukhov, the place where a great new era begins! "Dracula, dressed in a splendid coat, came to us and said in a loud voice, as if a king was showing his kingdom to the world...
