"Damn." At this time, I only heard Maria whisper a curse, and then she did something that ordinary people could not have imagined, only to see her hug my waist violently, and at the same time began to whisper a spell in her mouth, and the content of the spell was all too familiar to me.

"Forbidden Seal! Maria, are you crazy!?" I yelled angrily, trying to pull her away from me, but the little girl's hands were now glued to my waist as if they were glued, and she refused to let go of anything, and at the same time my chest began to ache again, this feeling was the first time since the fusion, and I felt more anxious than I had ever been, and I didn't understand why Maria was doing this, wasn't this tantamount to helping Malthus in disguise? You know, that guy just tried to kill you!? In desperation, my movements began to become more and more rough, knowing that it was the first time in my life that I had been so rude to a lady, but I was not aware of it at the time.

In the face of all this, Maria's performance was very simple, no matter what I did, she just refused to let go, and continued to sing, at that time I really thought that this girl was completely crazy, you must know that she could not seal me at that time by herself, but she had to pay the price of her life, and more importantly, at that time I couldn't figure out what reason she had to do this?

"What, infighting?" At this time, Malthus on the side suddenly said tauntingly, I turned my head to see that this guy was actually floating in the air, with his hands crossed on his chest and looking at us with a smug expression, the provocation was obvious.

At that moment, my anger finally reached its peak, and I completely lost my mind, grabbed Maria by the collar and threw her out, originally I just wanted her to stop getting in my way, but completely ignored that the cliff I threw her out of was a cliff.

"Ahh Maria exclaimed, but the skill of the 'Iceberg Reaper' after all is not comparable to ordinary people, at the moment before the fall, Maria reached out in time to grab the edge of the cliff, but due to the damage just now, the soil on the edge of the cliff has already loosened, and Maria is still in danger of falling down at any time.

"Give me a hand, Kane!" Maria cried out, but I couldn't even listen to anyone at this time, and according to Maria's later recollection, I was like a fierce beast that had found its prey, desperately attacking Malthus, and the result was that the castle was a scorched earth for miles around it...

"Stop, Kane, princesses, are they still waiting for us to go back!?" I don't know how long Maria cried out or what she said, but it wasn't until she mentioned the princesses that I finally regained some of my senses.

"Princess?" When I heard my own voice, I was immediately startled, it was hoarse and low, and it didn't even look like me.

"Yes, the princess and everyone are still waiting for you to go back, they are waiting for Roger. Kane!" Maria's words were like a heavy blow, and my originally chaotic brain suddenly felt a burst of clarity, yes, I am that hapless mercenary Roger. Kane, all I've wanted to do for a long time is hope that others won't suffer like I do, but what am I doing at the moment? Looking up at the city burning at night, with corpses everywhere and cries ringing out, it was only then that I realized how wrong I had been.

"What have I done.... What have I done..."I muttered to myself at that moment, feeling so guilty that I could barely breathe.

"Damn, the little girl actually hurt me!" At this time, I suddenly heard Malthus curse viciously, and then I saw a flash of light go straight towards Maria, and I knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran to Maria's side and opened the shield, and finally blocked the blow.

"Are you alright?" I asked Maria at my feet.

"Well, pull me up first!"

I hurriedly reached out and pulled Maria up, as the girl seemed to weigh a lot less than the last time she was at camp.

"What happened to me?" I asked Maria, and it was only then that I realized what the other person seemed to be aware of.

"It's demonization, in other words, the demonic nature in your body suppresses human nature, in fact, all of this is carefully designed by Malthus."

"What?"

"If you think about it, whether it's the previous "Great Exorcism Array" or the "Heavenly Punishment", these tricks can't hurt you in the first place, Malthus should be very clear about this, but why does it still do this?"

"What do you mean..."

"That's right, this guy did it on purpose, in order to make you constantly improve your demonic nature, because it is a wrong fusion, so when the demonic nature reaches a certain critical point, your reason will inevitably collapse, and eventually transform into a madman who only knows how to kill..."

"Isn't it... I was surprised that Maria's reasoning sounded almost whimsical and bizarre at first glance, but if you think about what happened just now, maybe all this is not groundless... Malthus seemed to have fallen into one trap after another from the beginning, and I was unknowingly sliding into the abyss according to its script, if Maria hadn't stopped me in time... I can't think about it anymore...

"So the last time we were sent to attack the Lance tribe was part of this plan?" At this time, Maria suddenly raised her head and looked at Malthus in mid-air.

"Not exactly, my dear Maria." Malthus sneered.

"Originally, I just used you to test Your Majesty's strength, and the result was completely beyond my imagination, but I still want to thank you, it was inspired by this that I came up with today's plan..."

"So you've treated our lives like child's play from the beginning?" Maria's voice trembled a little, as if she was trying to restrain something.

"In our eyes, human life is not worth mentioning." Malthus said coldly, the expression on his face could be described as calm and clear.

When she heard this, Maria's face suddenly turned white, her fists squeaked, and her eyes revealed something that I was very familiar with - killing intent, it was obvious that the "Iceberg Reaper" was really angry this time...

"Maybe it's a little too late to get angry, right?" At this time, I only heard Malthus sneer, and then his expression changed suddenly.

"Don't think you'll leave alive today!" Before Malthus's words fell, the whole person suddenly disappeared.

"It's not good, it's crossing again!" I was so frightened that I pulled Maria to my side, and almost at the same time Malthus's hand came out of thin air, fortunately I was a step ahead of it, and this time it didn't hit the vital point, but it still rubbed a layer of skin from Maria's side.

"Damn!" I couldn't help but be furious when I saw this, and I raised my hand to fight back, but Malthus missed the blow and immediately crossed back into the dream, and I hit it directly, but knocked down another piece of the wall on the side.

"Are you alright?" I asked Maria, who was beside me.

"It's fine." Maria gritted her teeth and said, while her right hand tightly covered the wound, blood slowly seeped out from between her fingers, although it was not fatal, but it was completely conceivable that she was in pain at the moment, and Maria didn't even snort, which shows that her willpower is beyond ordinary people.
