The madman's roar almost echoed through the park.

The silence of the night was broken in an instant, and many birds in the dark woods were even startled by the screams.

And in this poignant roar like killing pigs...

The addict turned and spread his legs and ran away into the distance, moving so fast that he couldn't even bother with his hands that had fallen to the ground—and of course, after losing them, he managed to pick them back.

Bugarati was not interested in chasing him either.

He's done what he's supposed to do, and the addict has been punished accordingly.

Regardless of whether this guy can change in the future, he will never be able to do anything hurtful in the future after losing his hands.

And these futures are not something that Bugarati needs to help consider.

He is fighting for something greater, and he is moving forward so that the tragedy he is witnessing will not be repeated.

So, Bugarati stopped looking at the addict, but prepared to leave the woods as soon as possible with Apaki.

But at this moment...

The addict, who had just escaped not far away, suddenly let out another scream:

"Demons... Demon! ”

"Ahhhh

The next second, this annoying guy suddenly flew upside down and was thrown back by something.

He slammed into a tree, and his injuries were finally so severe that he couldn't move.

Through the dim light of the path in the woods, Bugarati and Apaki saw the image of him spitting blood.

"This..."

Their faces changed suddenly.

The surprise was not because of the injuries on the addict's body, of course, but because at this very moment, a mark suddenly appeared on his body.

The mark looked like a fish, glowing a faint red glow in the night.

Apaki had just beaten the kid, and of course he knew that the other party hadn't had this strange supernatural mark on his body more than ten seconds ago.

Obviously, this is a stand-in attack.

"Huh."

And at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the dark woods:

"Demons..."

"That's pretty accurate."

As he spoke, the owner of the voice slowly approached from the forest.

He ignored the waste addict who couldn't move, and just unabashedly revealed his form in front of Bugarati and Apaji:

It was a teenager.

He was dressed in a modest black suit, with a high top hat on his head and shiny leather shoes on his feet.

"Bugarati..."

"Apaji..."

"That's right, you two are my target."

The boy took off his hat and greeted his enemy slightly.

His every move is very delicate, and he behaves like a noble gentleman only in TV series:

"Anthony Kenchi."

"Two gentlemen, please don't hesitate to give me advice."

The young man named Anthony revealed his identity, told the door, and stood in front of him in a dignified manner.

However, Bugarati and Apaki did not pay attention to each other at all.

Because, their eyes were attracted by the stand-in next to the young man:

It was a very peculiar stand-in.

It was more than three meters tall, and its chubby size was in great contrast to Anthony, who was still a teenager.

At first glance, it looks like a humanoid double, but it's not a humanoid double:

Short limbs, fat body, black skin up and down the body shiny in the light.

A long, huge tongue hung out of the gaping mouth of the blood basin, and two strange tentacles that trembled on either side of the mouth.

It doesn't look like a human being in any way, but it's wearing a human suit and a human top hat.

All in all, it looks like...

"Toad?!" Bugalati was slightly stunned.

"Catfish?!" Apaki blurted out.

"It's a toad..."

"How can a catfish have such a long tongue?"

"No... I think it's catfish. ”

"Look at those two beards, only catfish have such a beard."

Because the enemy's stand-in was so strange, the two of them couldn't help arguing at this critical juncture.

"Stay! Mouth! ”

The aristocratic boy, Anthony's face distorted instantly.

The previous elegance disappeared in an instant, and he roared angrily like an evil dragon that had been touched against the scales:

"It's not a toad! It's not a catfish either! ”

"It's a demon—"

"Mysterious and noble demon, do you understand?"

At the time of the awakening of the stand-in, it was Anthony, a second-year teenager, who happened to be at home according to the teachings in the third-rate supernatural magazine, secretly playing some black magic summoning ritual at home.

As soon as the "magic array" was drawn, the big black-skinned toad appeared.

Therefore, he has always believed that his stand-in is the Abyss Demon who has signed a magical contract with him.

Whoever doubts this is Anthony's worst enemy:

"How dare you humiliate my 'demons' like this..."

"The boss is right, you guys really damn it!!"

He erupted in anger in a way that ordinary people could not comprehend.

And the demon standing in front of him...

The big black-skinned toad, which was more than three meters tall, took a heavy step forward like this.

The smell of gunpowder on the battlefield suddenly became extremely strong.

Everyone could see that the battle would start in the next second.

And in the midst of the lightning, Apaki cast a glance at Bugalati.

Although they haven't known each other for a long time, after two days of high-intensity fighting, Bugarati has been able to tacitly comprehend the signal sent by Apaji:

"Let me make a move, and use melancholy blue to probe each other."

Melancholy Blues is not very combative.

There is no doubt that now Bugarati and his steel chain fingers are the main force in this fight.

But that's why Apache wants to get his melancholy blues on the front lines -

You can't help with the battle, but at least you can help test the enemy's stand-in ability.

This is a tactic similar to Tian Ji horse racing, and using the melancholy blues to take the riskiest first round of testing will ensure that the steel chain fingers will gain a greater advantage in the subsequent battles.

"Well, you go first."

Bugarati did not refuse Apachi's kindness.

While this is dangerous for Apaji, now that everything is about victory, they must choose tactics that have a better chance of winning.

So, as the big black-skinned toad approached this way...

Apaki was the first to greet him:

"Melancholy Blues!"

The blue-purple humanoid stand-in instantly appeared in front of him.

Compared to the humanoid toad, which was more than three meters tall, Melancholy Blues' figure looked extremely thin.

But Apaki is not afraid, he wants to use his body to exchange his companion for the greatest advantage:

"Let's go!"

Melancholy Blues suddenly threw a punch forward.

"Uhhh

A burst of sky-breaking sound sounded instantly.

The fat toad's mouth opened wide, and the long, thick, wide, large dark red tongue popped forward.

Like a toad that preys on insects in nature, the tongue breaks through the air almost so fast that only a shadow can be seen.

In the next instant, fists and tongues collided violently in the air.

Melancholy Blues staggered back instantly, and the black-skinned toad was unscathed.

"That tongue is fast..."

"In terms of speed alone, it's about the same as your chain fingers."

Apaji's figure immediately shuddered.

But he didn't care about the extra injuries on his body at all, but seized the time to summarize the information for his companions:

"However, it doesn't seem to be very powerful."

"It's a little better than the blues, but at least I didn't get seriously hurt from it."

"But..."

Apaki paused slightly.

He saw the fist of melancholy blues:

On the fist, where the big tongue had just been licked, there was a shiny red fish-shaped mark.

"That homeless guy also had it on him..."

"What does this fish-shaped mark mean exactly?"

Apaki couldn't understand the meaning of the mark, but only subconsciously felt dangerous.

And by this time, the enemy's attack had already continued to unfold.

The big thick tongue struck at an incredible speed, making it impossible to avoid the melancholy blues that were not fast enough.

Then, the long tongue struck Melancholy Blues on the shoulder.

The damage wasn't that high, at least Apaki was still able to stand well after receiving the second blow.

But...

Just when his tongue touched Melancholy Blues' body, a second "fish" suddenly appeared on Melancholy Blues' body.

"Two fish-shaped markers, and nothing has happened."

"Does this mark have to accumulate a certain number before that catfish can really show its stand-in ability?"

Apaki still stubbornly calls the stand-in catfish in his head.

He still didn't have the ability to read the other party, and that huge tongue was a phantom for the third time.

It's so fast that you can't avoid it.

Whether you want it or not, Melancholy Blues was hit a third time by the long tongue of the black-skinned toad without any suspense.

A third "fish" soon appeared on its body, a third fish-shaped mark.

"Hahahaha."

Anthony, who had been hiding behind the black-skinned toad, laughed out loud:

"Letting the melancholy blues, who are not strong in battle, make a move, is it trying to test my ability to 'make demons'?"

"So, let me show you..."

"The River King—"

"Swallow it!"

The demon opened its bloody jaws.

In this instant, silently, the melancholy blues disappeared.
