"I've finally caught you this time!" As I spoke, I pulled Maria to my side, if it was just a simple struggle, this girl would never be my opponent, but it was a little surprising that this girl was not panicked at this time, and even showed a smug smile on her face.

"No, it's actually you who got caught..."Before I could figure out what Maria meant, I suddenly saw a blinding glow from the ruby on the top of St. Andrew's staff, and at the same time I felt a familiar wave of energy converging in front of me...

"Red Thunder!" I reacted immediately, is this girl crazy!? Wouldn't she care about her own lives and the lives of her companions if she wanted to use black magic with such destructive power in such a place? No, how did I forget that she was the "Iceberg Grim Reaper", isn't this kind of reckless style of play exactly her usual style? It's just that she forgot that all the "black magic" doesn't work for me... Wait, her target is not me, but Ah Zi! If it is at such a close distance, with a mortal fetus like Ah Zi, she will definitely not be able to resist the power of the "Red Thunder Flash", she wants to use this method to force me to let go of Ah Zi, why are all the crazy madmen I have met recently, but now I can't care about this, I immediately had to push Ah Zi away, followed by a violent explosion, its power even made the surrounding ground shake violently, people were staggered by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and finally waited until the smoke dissipated, People were stunned by the sight of them again.

"Let go!" Maria, this sacred and inviolable "iceberg death" is being held tightly in my arms at this time, in fact, I didn't want to save her at that time, but maybe I stayed with the girls for a long time, when the explosion happened, I almost reflexively wanted to protect her, so I took her into my arms, so that most of the energy after the "Red Thunder Lightning" was launched was blocked by my body, because the black magic was ineffective against me, so it didn't cause much damage except for blowing my clothes into pieces. And as for Maria... Judging by the strength she showed as she struggled in her arms, it shouldn't be a big deal... Of course, if I had to say anything, it might be a few holes in the robes and a veil blown away...

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen Maria's true face, it is a pure and handsome face, although not as charming as Scarlett, but it has its own elegant beauty, when the two of us looked at each other for the first time, Maria was also stunned, maybe this is the first time she is so close to a person of the same age and the opposite sex, for a moment I obviously caught the shyness and nervousness in her eyes, but unfortunately this look is only a flash, and soon I was greeted by the same kind of horizontal eyebrows.

"Let go of me, bastard." Maria said viciously, struggling as hard as she could.

"It's a shame, she's such a lovely girl," I couldn't help but sigh quietly.

"What did you say?" Maria was stunned when she heard this.

"It's nothing, I just thought it would be more flattering if you didn't keep such a straight face."

Hearing me say this, Maria's expression froze, perhaps no one had dared to say these words to her face for a long time, but soon this surprise was replaced by more shame: "You will pay for these words..."

"Please, these are good words... Well, it doesn't seem like the time to talk about that." Seeing that the effects of the ball of light were about to wear off, I realized that there was something more important to deal with.

"Stop it all!" I couldn't help but shout, everyone present was stunned, the chaos gradually subsided, and people's eyes were focused on me.

"Your companion is in my hands, if you want her to live, give me all the truth!" I don't know if it's because I've met too many bad guys in the past few years, or because of the influence of fusion, I found myself becoming more and more proficient in saying certain villain's lines.

At this time, the effectiveness of the ball of light has basically disappeared, and although people's eyesight has not completely recovered, they can still roughly see that Maria has been captured by me, and for a while, everyone in the light group can't help but look at each other and don't know what to do.

"Don't listen to him, carry out the mission." Maria commanded loudly in my arms, but her companions were visibly hesitant.

Seeing that the crowd did not react, Maria couldn't help but be furious and shouted, "Are you cowards deaf? Attack him!?"

"Hey, hey, you're crazy and don't want to live anymore?" Speaking from my heart, Maria's reaction at the time was indeed somewhat unexpected to me, didn't this woman value her life at all? In order to prevent her from continuing to mess around, I had to scold her while trying to control her movements.

"As long as we can get rid of you, we will do whatever it takes." This is not the first time someone has said something similar to me, but when it comes from the mouth of a pure and handsome girl, my heart is still touched somewhat, yes, Demon King, the source of all the evils in this world, the public enemy of all righteous and good souls. Imagine how the world would react when they found out who I really was, frightened, terrified, and of course... It's more hostile and angry, and they'll do everything they can to attack me and get rid of me. If these were just careerists, madmen, or political enemies, I might feel better inside. But what about the good common people? I don't even know how to face them, I'm not a demon king, and I haven't done anything against my conscience so far, but I have inherited the memories of that guy, and even its power... Therefore, people's hostility towards me is not entirely unreasonable, and in the future, do you really want to live like a rat crossing the street like this? Thinking of this, I can't help but fall into melancholy.

"Beware!" Just when I was out of my mind, I suddenly heard someone shouting, listening to the voice seemed to be Antonla, I was startled, and looked up to see a member of the Light Regiment with his chest open, and the whole person fell in a pool of blood, maybe because everything happened so fast, he even kept a posture until he died, a posture ready to launch magic, and from the position he was in at the time, it was obvious that his target was me...

"Do it!" I don't know who shouted the first sentence first, and then the Illuminati launched a new round of attacks on us as if they were crazy.

"Wait, don't you want her life!?" I was shocked when I saw this, and shouted at everyone, but this time no one paid attention to me... Maybe it's not accurate to say that, they just changed their way and attacked with no mercy...

"Crazy, you guys are crazy." As I spoke, I opened my shield, in fact, I couldn't hurt me at all with the ability of this group of mortal beings, but unfortunately there was a Maria in my arms at this time, so the scene suddenly became very funny, the "kidnappers" tried their best to protect the hostages, and the hostages' companions didn't seem to care about her life or death.
