Chapter 148: The Old Man

Although emotionally I never agree that I am the demon king, but when I heard that Gragon dared to ridicule himself in public like this, I still couldn't help but feel that my heart was on fire, and the recent demons didn't know why, and their attitudes were more and more arrogant when they met me. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be angry: "Do you know that you just did something stupid!?"

"I think it's stupid for you!" Gragon opened his mouth and attacked us again, this time the fire was bigger and fiercer than before, like a flying earth dragon, I hurriedly opened my shield to block the attack, and launched a counterattack at the same time.

"Since you don't recognize me as the master, then I don't need to show mercy!" With this in mind, even though I had a "curse of the night", the black aura wrapped around Gragon like a long snake, but when I was about to touch the other person's body, it seemed to hit something and was violently bounced away.

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw this, since the fusion, this was the first time that an opponent other than the "Demon" could directly block my attack, even the previous Malthus couldn't do this, could it be that Gragon's magic has improved to this extent for thousands of years? It's impossible, with such doubts, I couldn't help but increase the output and try again, but the result is still the same!

"How? Your moves don't work, do you? I said you were a loser before, and you didn't seem to be convinced, but now you understand, right? Your time is over!" Gragon laughed unscrupulously, and at the same time stepped up the attack, the flames slanted towards us like a tide, and the entire clearing suddenly became a sea of fire, the scene seemed to make people in purgatory, the temperature around them began to rise significantly, I have no problem for the time being due to the protection of magic, but Maria was a little unable to support it, I saw that her whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and the sweat was dripping and dripping, and it was estimated that it would not take long to be roasted if it was consumed like this.

"You run first, I'll deal with these guys!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but hurriedly say.

To say that Maria is a long-time enemy after all, her mind is very clear at the critical moment, she understands that leaving this situation by herself will only drag me down, and immediately gritted her teeth and said: "Then we will meet at the place where we were found by the patrol last time!"

"Got it, if I don't arrive in three days, you can go first!"

"Then take care of yourself." Maria patted me on the shoulder as she spoke, and although it wasn't the first time we'd had physical contact, it was the first time I'd felt the care of our companions from her, and our relationship was clearly a big step closer than it had been after last night's battle. Of course, we didn't have to think too much about the situation at that time, and I tried to launch a counterattack to attract the attention of the enemy, and at the same time Maria activated the St. Andrew's Staff again, and everything was going well, and she was about to take off into the air, but suddenly a cold light flashed from the stab and went straight to Maria's neck.

"Beware!" Seeing this, I hurriedly raised my hand, and suddenly a strong wind rose from the ground and went towards the cold light.

"Ahh Immediately I heard a man scream, and then I saw that the cold light flew out at the same time with a black shadow, and at the same time, Maria's whole person was also affected by the strong wind and fell to the ground with the staff.

"Are you alright!?" I lifted Maria up from the ground, and because of the fall just now, her whole body became a little gray at the moment, and the corners of her forehead were broken, and blood flowed.

"It's okay, it's just that next time you want to leave someone else behind, it's better to be gentle." Maria stood up from the ground as she spoke, and judging by the fact that she was still in the mood to complain, it should be fine.

Seeing that Maria was safe and sound, my hanging heart finally let go of a little, and at the same time turned my attention to the guy who had just sneaked up on me, who dared to play such a trick in front of me, I wanted to see what the sacredness was, thinking of this, I couldn't help but reach out and try to catch that guy, but the result was the same as when I used the "Night Curse" on Gragon before.

"What's going on!?" At that time, I was shocked again, there were so many incredible things tonight, one after another, I felt that my mind seemed to be a little unable to keep up, and I couldn't help but change the method several times, but each time the result was the same, my magic seemed to be ineffective.

"Bastard, that's a lot of energy." By this time the dark figure had risen from the ground on its own, rubbing its head and muttering something, and the voice was so low that it made it difficult to breathe was all too familiar to me.

"Jack!" I was shocked again, although it was already surprising that Gragon was able to block my attack just now, but no matter how I said that the other party was also one of the "Seventy-two Commanders of the Demon Race", a top powerhouse enough to fight against the gods, but now in the face of a mortal like Jack, my magic actually failed again, which couldn't help but make me fall into great confusion and panic.

"Be careful!" Before I could recover from my surprise, I heard Maria shout and pulled me to the side, followed by a piercing sound of metal grinding, and when I looked up, I saw a big man rushing to our side at some point, the blade in his hand shining strangely against the surrounding firelight, and that heroic face I will never forget.

"Sherlock!" I screamed again, I don't know what happened tonight, I met old acquaintances, saying that I really hadn't seen these people for a long time since the First World War on the outskirts of Karadezan, and that Sherlock was much older than last time, and that he was blind, and that he was blind, and that he couldn't imagine what he had been through these days...

"It's your old acquaintance again!" Maria spat at me as she drew Sherlock's sword.

"Well, he's in the same league as Jack, and they're both "Templars" under the former princess." I explained to Maria as I stepped forward slowly, although I was a traitor, Sherlock had a much better image of me than Jack in the past, who was simply a madman, and it was unreasonable for this kind of person not to work for the devil, but Sherlock was more like a professional soldier, although he would give you a headache as an enemy, but aside from the character of these people themselves, there was nothing to blame too much, which was also confirmed by the princess, Afterwards, she had mentioned to us more than once that Sherlock was a man who couldn't find fault with him except that he was a little belligerent, and that he was even better as a subordinate, so even the princess couldn't figure out what prompted him to rebel with Jack and the others. It was for these reasons that I decided to try to get some information out of his mouth...

"Long time no see, Sherlock, why, after betraying the Holy See, this time you betrayed George?"

As I expected, Sherlock's face obviously revealed a trace of embarrassment when I said this: "Good birds choose trees, good ministers choose masters, we are also forced to do so..."

I have to say that Sherlock's words contain mystery, first of all, it can be determined that they really betrayed George and "Gorsa", and now this new master is obviously more powerful than the former, which undoubtedly surprises me a little, you must know that there are only a handful of demons in the world who are more powerful than the vampire clan, not to mention that the other party can still let such an unruly character as Gragon work for himself, could it be that this time the opponent will be...
