Chapter 30: The Shadow of the Night

On the other side of New York, the night is getting darker.

RayΒ· F. Stein F. Stein) went to a nearby bar for a drink after work as usual, sat for a while and left. Although he doesn't need sleep, he is still very careful, always remembering to try to behave like an ordinary person, and his life routine is very ordinary, so that it is not easy to attract extra attention.

It's just that the ordinary indigenous creatures in this world are too fragile, plus they can't go too far, so as not to attract the attention of the state apparatus, and it seems a bit far away to recover the power by devouring the human race, Ray turned into a small path while thinking about his plans for the near future, but suddenly stopped.

I saw a tall figure standing motionless in the darkness not far from the alley.

Robbers? Ray thought about it, but he didn't feel like it, and he vaguely felt a hint of a somewhat familiar atmosphere. It can't be some kind of people hunting here, right? Ray felt a little ridiculous, and he was a daredevil, who had no sense of territory.

"This is my territory, get out of here." His mind was spinning, but Lei didn't stop, among the lower demons who relied on devouring to gain power, there was not much to be afraid of. If this guy doesn't know anything, maybe he will be reduced to his own food.

"Ray S. F. Stein? Then the man standing in the shadows spoke.

"You've mistaken someone, don't bother, man." With Lei's dark vision, it was already clear that this was a very tall man. But why did he know his name and wait for him here? Ray finally became vigilant, and he cautiously stopped, deciding to probe the details of the other party.

"Come with me, an adult wants to see you." The man moved slowly, out of the shadows, the black armani suit could not hide the strong body, even the neck that ordinary people could not exercise, was full of knotted muscles, like a volcano containing terrifying power, it was Ma Qi who was sent out to do things under Li Jie's order.

And Ray S. F. Stein was obviously the blonde man who was next to Peter Russell in the first place, and he would never have thought that just an accidental meeting would make Li Jie remember him, and because of Peter Russell's disappearance, Ray must have regretted his appearance at that party.

Sure enough, this guy is in demonic language! My lord? Only a high-ranking demon with a high status would be given such an honorific title, how could he be targeted by these powerful beings! Ray finally panicked, but he still managed to compose and continued to converse in English. "Hey man, what did you say? Why I don't understand. ”

Although he did a good job of disguise, March had lost his patience, and he had managed to find a place that was not easy to attract attention to block the other party, but he didn't want to miss the first errand and lead to the anger of Master Mephisto. Anyway, the adults only said that they would take this guy to meet him, and if it wasn't for his own kind, he would be unlucky.

"Boom!" March swooped up at a speed that was no match for his tall and majestic body, and almost instantly arrived in front of Ray. So much so that he only had time to raise his arms, and he was hit by the unimaginable force of the other party and rolled up, soaring several meters into the air, and even drew an obvious arc trajectory, reaching the highest point in the air in an instant.

If it is an ordinary person, according to this trend, under the impact of March's huge force, coupled with the effect of strong inertia, when he falls to the hard cement floor, he may either be seriously injured and dying or have a broken limb and fracture. However, something strange happened, when he landed at the bottom of another part of the parabola, and was about to fall to the ground, Lei's body suddenly scattered like a cloud of smoke dozens of centimeters from the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

Yes, without leaving a trace, as if the whole person had never appeared, it disappeared into thin air.

However, such a bizarre situation only made March slightly stunned, and did not seem particularly surprised. It's just that the posture in which he was originally going to continue to pounce stopped, his legs were firmly rooted on the ground, and his mouth opened and stretched to the limit in an instant, but it still did not stop, but continued to expand like a rubber band, forming a terrifying giant mouth, which could almost hold an entire basketball!

An indescribable, pungent, burning breath suddenly filled the air, and the strong smell permeated the entire alley, making it almost immediately suffocating.

Endless fiery red light erupted from March's eerie maw, starting from where he stood, and swept away in the direction of the exit of the alley, covering the entire area at a breakneck speed.

When the red light first appeared, it was so bright that it seemed as if even the nearby air had been completely ignited, and even the light had become distorted, but it quickly dimmed a lot. At this time, it was clear that it was all an extremely thick liquid, mixed with countless residues and sparks, and it was actually rolling magma.

In just a few breaths, most of the alley turned almost completely into a sea of fiery light, everything in the line of sight was completely ignited and "crackled", and even the old iron staircase on the periphery of the house was burned alive and disappeared into the scorching magma.

In the alleyway that turned into a sea of red light and fire, a human figure suddenly emerged from the middle of the magma, and it was the thunder that had disappeared before! At this time, he no longer resembles a human at all, not only has two tiny horns growing on his forehead, his head has become a narrow inverted triangle at the top and bottom, and his whole body is covered by a layer of strange black scale armor, which shows extraordinary toughness and heat resistance, firmly resisting the scorching magma outside.

Lava spit! This is only an ordinary power in the demon world, but at this time, it is like a death spell that makes Thunder panic, although he can hide without a trace, but he will become extremely vulnerable, plus the strength of his new self is too weak to resist the invasion of lava. If he hadn't immediately appeared in his original form and relied on scale armor for protection, I'm afraid he would have been burned by magma at this time.

But Ray didn't bother to rejoice, he struggled to break free of the swept magma, jumped high, and plunged his hands and feet into the wall at the same time, the hard brick wall was stabbed like powder in front of his pitch-black claws, holding his entire body firmly in place.

At the same time as he appeared, March, who was not far away, immediately stopped spitting, and his muscle-inflated right claw grabbed the escape staircase above his head, and with a few "clicks", half of the iron staircase was broken by him, and he threw it towards the location of Ray with sudden force.

Lei, whose body had just been fixed in the wall, had no choice but to continue to jump up to dodge. However, this gave March a chance to catch up, only to see that his huge feet had already completely burst the leather shoes, revealing his full and bulging lower limbs, completely ignoring gravity, and his claws slammed against the wall and rushed upward. With each step of his toes, the masonry walls were as fragile as a foam wail and sinkled in a circle, showing the power of his lower limbs. Ray only had time to climb up twice before he was struck by a powerful March, pinning him in and falling into the lava below.

The lava that had occupied the entire aisle cooled and receded almost at a rate visible to the naked eye, and disappeared without a trace in a matter of moments, leaving behind walls and floors that had been almost scorched and countless unrecognizable debris and debris.

Ray looked very embarrassed at this time, lying on the ground in an awkward position, his head firmly held down by March's giant claws, even the demon body that had been tempered for thousands of years still made a creaking sound, obviously a little overwhelmed. The latter brought his large mouth full of fine sharp teeth close to his head: "Demon, surrender or perish!" ”

The smell mixed with fishy smell and pungent smell permeated his head, and Lei could only use the corner of his eyes to see this guy who had eaten himself to death, the dark and heavy carapace made him a little helpless, it was actually a giant helmet demon! This lowly guy doesn't know which adult has favored him, giving him great strength, and he is almost all-round superior compared to himself. However, the originally famous Shadow Demon Jirito has become a weak human body thunder, and can only rely on slowly devouring humans to recover his strength, but instead he has fallen into a situation of being bullied by the Giant Helmet Demon.

"I'll go with you." Survival comes first, and Ray Stein is so familiar that he gives up resistance.

By the time the cacophony of sirens pierced the night sky from all directions, the alleyway was empty, leaving only a mess and a burning fire.
