Demons feed on people, just like human predators.

They are far superior to humans in strength and speed, but fortunately they are far fewer in number than humans. They are only equivalent to strong and ferocious beasts with a certain amount of intelligence, and although they are strong individually, they are still afraid of the power of humans as a whole.

Because there is no habit of living in groups, when facing the regular army of human beings, even in the world of big swords in the age of cold weapons, the lone demon has no other way but to flee in the wilderness.

In particular, there are so many great swords that specialize in slaying demons.

So it's not incomprehensible that demons would flee. Li Fang was bored thinking.

It was already the afternoon of the second day after coming to the village, and Annabelle and Li Fang had been searching for the demon that had disappeared, but the result was not to mention the demon, and even the larger beast was not seen. Although it was a paddling search, I kept wading through mountains and rivers, but I didn't get anything, and I was still a little irritable.

In the evening, the two would return to the village for the night, but nothing unusual was found, and the villagers had returned to their daily routines, as if nothing had happened before.

Li Fang had never wanted the agent Kimir to appear like he did now, and if Kimir could appear in front of him now, maybe Li Fang would have a slight change of opinion about the severe burn.

Unfortunately, until now, the sky has been dark, and the search mission is still far from over.

"Anna, I didn't find any demons today." Li Fang couldn't help but complain, he was the most impatient with this kind of long-term thing.

But Annabelle, who was walking in front of a figure, suddenly stopped, and Li Fang almost crashed into it.

"What's wrong, Anna?"

"I sensed it, right ahead." Annabelle's expression became serious: "When you find a demon later, you can find a place to hide nearby." ”

"En......"

Li Fang swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect that the remaining demon really let them find it, however, there was still some distance from the village in front, and this demon was planning to wait for the limelight to pass before going back? But what does it eat these days?

Although the amount of food eaten by the demons was surprisingly small compared to their bodies, it should have been at least five days since the last time the demon ate.

Li Fang guessed that this demon might be dying now.

It can't eat animal offal, right?

Li Fang's thoughts were still diverging, and Annabelle reached through Li Fang's armpit, picked him up, and ran to the location of the demon in her perception.

Although Anna's behavior would always make Li Fang feel ashamed, but this time, for a moment, he felt that the side of his face was pressed against something warm and soft...... My cheeks can't help but heat up.

The wind whined in her ears, and although the terrain was not flat along the way, Annabelle's figure was always bumpy, and a distance of a hundred meters was a blink of an eye for her.

At this time, the sun on the horizon was slowly pressing into the already dark mountains, and the sky was rapidly darkening.

When Annabelle, who was hurrying closer, saw the demon, she stopped and put down Li Fang. Li Fang also saw the demon, so as soon as he landed, he hid behind the tree on the side, and watched Annabelle pull out the big sword behind her back and slowly walk past her back.

If only I could fight with Anna...... Although Li Fang understands that he is an ordinary person's physical fitness, he is only suitable for Anna as an assistant, but which assistant does not have a heart to output?

The closer she got, the more Annabelle felt that something seemed to be wrong with the demon in front of her.

Its body is much thinner than that of ordinary demons, and it can be regarded as a dwarf among demons. It leaned against a tree with a crooked neck, its large, half-open mouth drooling, its gaze unfocused.

Annabelle walked up to it, and it raised its head, with horror and ferocity in its eyes, and made an attacking gesture, but strangely did not make the slightest move.

Li Fang watched from afar, and clearly felt that this demon was like a lizard that wanted to scare predators.

And Annabelle is the predator who has been slow to move.

Anna sensed the demon's inwardness, but she had never encountered such a demon that neither attacked nor fled when she saw the great sword.

She lifted her sword and pointed it at the demon's face that was growing and showing fear.

"Interesting," Annabelle's eyes were a little more curious, "why don't you run?" ”

"I know I can't run away," the demon replied in a hoarse voice, "and I don't want to run either." ”

After saying this, the demon was relieved, and leaned limply against the trunk of the tree behind him.

"Heh, it's the first time I've seen a demon begging for death." Annabelle thought that this was another lie of the demon, and as soon as her eyes were cold, she was about to do it.

"Then I will fulfill you!"

"Wait a minute...... the demon raised his trembling right hand to block the raised sword, "If I say that I have never killed a human with my own hands, would you believe it?" ”

"It's ridiculous, you can't live today without eating people."

Annabelle has a deep hatred for demons. As Kimir said, her parents died at the hands of demons, and then she became orphans and was taken away by the organization and participated in the cruel training that lasted for five years.

So she didn't want to waste time on this demon, and the big sword in her hand was cut down...... A blood-soaked arm fell to the ground.

The demon barely dodged and blocked it with his hand.

"It's true, I haven't killed anyone!" The demon clenched on the blood-spurting arm, gritting his teeth and inhaling.

"The human offal I eat is all given to me by my brother, and although I am a demon, I have never killed anyone!" The demon said in fits and starts, the pain causing the veins on its head to rise.

"Look at me, I'm much thinner than ordinary demons, this is the best proof!"

"So what," Annabelle lowered her sword cautiously, "you have always been a demon, feeding on human entrails. ”

"Do you think you're innocent? Doesn't the death of those whose entrails you have eaten have nothing to do with you? ”

"I want to live!" The demon said helplessly: "I have tried many times, but it can only be human internal organs. ”

"Even though I knew that a great sword was coming, no matter how much I tried to persuade my brother, I did not agree to leave, and I did not leave the village until my brother was captured...... I wasn't as strong as my brother, and I was scared when I saw more humans, so I ran away alone. ”

"Then why are you staying here?" Annabelle asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you run as far away as possible?" ”

"I can't leave my brother behind, he might still be able to escape, but I don't have the courage to go back."

In the face of the crowd that was crazy with fear, the demon did not dare to reveal its true form, and after being locked in the cellar, it could not get out.

The blood from the demon's arm could not be stopped, and its body trembled slightly, as if it was so weak that it lacked the strength to stand up.

"When I saw you, my brother thought that he had already died in your hands, so kill me, it should have ended a long time ago."

The demon leaned against the tree and closed its eyes, its expression very calm.

After waiting for a long time, the sword of the big sword never came over, and the demon opened his eyes and saw that the originally imposing big sword was still standing in place, motionless.

Annabelle was conflicted, she told herself that she must kill the demon, but her arm couldn't lift her strength, and she said to herself looking at the demon whose broken arm was still oozing blood.

Even if I don't do it, it will die sooner or later.

Annabelle chose to give herself an excuse to wait for the weak and badly injured demon to die on its own, so that she would not let it live without killing the demon.

The grim silver eyes were still staring at it, and the demon understood Anna's thoughts.

It let go of the hand that had been holding the wound on the severed arm......

"I don't know why I can't do anything to humans, but it seems like a voice in my head keeps telling me, don't kill people! Can't kill! ”

The demon's eyes remained open, but as the last rays of the setting sun sank, they gradually lost their vitality.
