Chapter 23 + Chapter 24 The Devil Behind the Scenes
"Half-elf, didn't your elders teach you how to respect the strong?" The lizardman druid was angry by Acoste's call, he originally thought that he gave the other party a step down, and this matter would come to a smooth and successful conclusion, no matter how bad it was, the other two people were greedy, and the lizardman druid said that this was not unacceptable to him, and asked them to leave at a little price. But it didn't think that the other party actually completely ignored its proposal, and this attitude of no one in the eyes made the old lizardman angry stomachache.
"I do have respect for some powerful beings, but are you beasts who live in the wilderness worthy of my respect? Don't make me laugh, you tribe doesn't even have a guardian god! Why? Acoste smiled and said to the lizardman druid, and after listening to the half-elf's words, his wrinkled face immediately turned the color of pig liver, which was extremely ugly.
The so-called scolding is not short, Yacoste's words can be described as heart-wrenching, from Io's creation of the planet Torrell, to the birth of the goddess of the moon and night, and until now, there has never been a god who holds up the fire in the lizardman race, and this lizardman race has an eternal scar in his heart, and now among the mainstream races on the continent of Faeron, humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and dwarfs needless to say, there are too many gods in each race to count. Even the lizardmen look down on kobolds, there is a kobold god on their heads who has been protecting them, although werewolves do not have werewolves to become gods, but they have a hunting god Mara holds, only lizardmen belong to the kind that parents don't love and don't love, many lizardmen races give their beliefs to the devils or demons at the lower levels in exchange for power, but how can the relationship between the devil and the devil be so easy to fight? The lizardmen can be said to be one of the most miserable races in the continent of Faeron, and they have been living in inaccessible swamps and wetlands to survive.
This means that ordinary lizardmen can't understand the lingua franca spoken by Acoste, otherwise Acoste would have taunted like this, and they probably wouldn't have waited for the lizardman druid's order, and they would have rushed up in one fell swoop. "Good, good, we lizardmen have never been afraid of battle, nor are we afraid of death, let your blood pay for your arrogance now!" The lizardman druid laughed angrily, and it roared loudly in the lizard language, and the eager lizardman next to him immediately rushed out like a tiger in a cage, and launched a tidal wave of onslaughts towards the two who were slightly thin in the field. "Kogan, I'll let you kill it today, I'll get that druid, you can do it alone here." Acoste was still trying to tease the dwarves in the face of those flood beasts, and when Kogan heard Acoste's words, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty expression. "It's okay, I'll leave it to me here, the blood in my heart can't help but boil, roar!!"
The dwarven berserker suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, his mung bean-sized eyes emitted two scarlet lights, and the muscles that were originally like rocks bulged again, stretching the entire plate armor to the full, and the dwarf hammered his chest twice with his hand, laughing wildly and rushing towards the lizardmen.
The battle between one person and hundreds of people, perhaps all those who still have reason will think that the dwarves have gone crazy when they see this scene, and the huge difference in numbers between the two sides makes Kogan's charge look like moths to a fire, and will soon be torn apart by those bloodthirsty lizardmen......
The dwarf's tiny figure was quickly overwhelmed by the mass of lizardmen, but the shocking scene followed.
Countless stumps with pale blue scales flew out of the center of the lizardmen with hot blood, and with the roar of the dwarves, the hundreds of lizardmen collapsed from the inside in a short time, and Kogan wielded a war hammer to plow a path of death among the dense lizardmen.
There was a rain of blood in the sky, and almost none of the lizardmen were left behind under the dwarven rage, and their corpses were thrown high in the air by the dwarves, and then shattered into countless pieces and fell to the ground. A drop of blood fell on Acoste's delicate face, and the half-elf reached out and touched it, but his heart was full of thoughts.
He'd been fighting alongside the dwarven berserker Kogan for some time, but he hadn't seen the dwarves go berserk except for the time when he saw the dwarves use Berserk at the Dragon's Bridge.
But then again, the berserker who starts the berserk in the melee is really the king of all the professions, and Acoste asked himself, he is sure that he can kill Kogan in a heads-up, and he is sure that he can kill a seven-in-seven-out among the group of lizardmen, but to let him be like a dwarf and crush the opponent from the front, the half-elf said that he still can't do it......
Acoste set his eyes on the lizardman druid, the old lizard was waving his wooden staff to release the magic spell, Acoste did not strike immediately, his knees bent slightly, and when the old lizard's spell was halfway recited, the half-elf swordmaster suddenly used his feet and charged towards the lizardman druid's position. "Damn it!" The lizardman druid cursed in his heart when he saw Acoste speeding towards him, he could no longer stop his spell casting and dodge. As we all know, when a mage forcibly interrupts his casting, he will inevitably be counterattacked by the spell, but only a few people know that if a mage is interrupted by someone else when the spell energy is condensed halfway through the spell casting, then this counterattack is not as simple as vomiting blood, the caster who receives this kind of blow will definitely be weak for a long time, and it is certain that he will lose his combat effectiveness in battle, and it is also common to permanently lose 1,2 main attributes, even if he dies on the spot, it will not be surprising.
And the lizardman druid's magic is not a low-ring magic art, the caster's physique is already fragile, as long as the lizardman druid dares to interrupt his spell now, then he will die nine times out of ten, Acoste's ability to seize the right time makes the lizardman druid frightened, and now the old lizard doesn't know whether Acoste chose this critical moment to attack him because of luck or intentionality, if it is the latter, then the lizardman druid is estimated to really seriously consider the half-elf's "friendly" proposal, Fuck off with your own people.
It is impossible for the old lizard to withstand the backlash of the divine magic like this, the only thing it can hope for now is that the elite lizard man who protects himself can stop Acoste, and even if it can't stop it, he will use his life to support the other party until his divine magic is completed.
The lizardfolk guards were clearly prepared for their lives, roaring and picking up their iron spears and charging at the half-elves, hoping to kill Acoste in exchange for their lives.
The corners of Acoste's mouth raised slightly, it was impossible for him to rely on brute force to break through the opponent's defense line like Kogan, but the half-elves had their own advantages over the dwarves, and the Juggernaut also had his own strengths compared to the berserkers......
At the moment when the two were about to face each other, Acoste suddenly braked suddenly, kicked his feet the ground, and the whole person jumped in mid-air as if he had wings, and one turned forward 360 degrees past those fierce lizardman warriors.
The lizardmen warriors underground, saying that they were stupid, they would never have imagined that a half-elf could jump 3,4 meters into the air and then leap over their heads in a brief leap.
And the sub-acoste, who has already landed, said that these beasts are too uninformed, the professional is originally separated from the existence of mortals, the caster studies the use of supernatural energy, and the melee profession will absorb supernatural power into his body in the accumulated training and training. In fact, Acoste has always suspected that all the employed professionals have been transformed by the power of the rules on the Faeron Continent and pulled their potential higher, otherwise why are there billions of humans on the earth in his previous life, but none of them can be as rebellious as those human professionals on the planet Torrell?
Acoste didn't think too much about these illusory things, he only had the old lizard casting spells in his eyes now, and the half-elf sneered, there was no obstacle between him and the lizardman druid, this situation was a scene of death for the spellcaster.
But just as he was about to approach the old lizard, a fiery red flashed from the corner of Acoste's eyes, and the half-elf didn't think about it, and decisively gave up the long sword that was about to reach the throat of the lizardman druid, and bent down and threw himself to the side in an extremely unsightly hungry posture.
"Hehe, what a cunning stinky boy." A deep voice sounded, and Acoste looked up in the direction where he had been standing, and suddenly came back to his senses in surprise.
The other side has 3. 5 meters tall, weighing 300,400 pounds, holding a long chain in his hand, a curved deformed horn growing on each of his foreheads, and behind his back is a pair of black wings more than twice the width of his body, this monster has a crack in the middle of its back, and the blazing flames are constantly surging on its back, which looks terrifying.
"Horned Demon?!" Acoste stood up from the ground, his expression was much more ugly, this monster must be from the lower level, but the half-elf did not see the demon's tyrannical eyes that hated everything and wanted to destroy everything in the eyes of that monster, but saw a look full of wisdom and order, and knew that the other party should be a Bato hell devil.
In the perception of all high-level professionals, the devil is recognized as more difficult to deal with than the devil.
Because unlike demons, who only know how to kill and fight, the devils like to compare with each other is intrigue rather than power, which leads to many things that you don't see the devil doing it himself, just moving his mouth and performing a little trick can cause a destruction that is no less than that of the devil.
But you must not think that the devil's personal combat ability is weaker than the demons, they are a group of guys who have fought with the demons in the Wanyuan Plain for tens of thousands of years, the nine layers of hell fought against the bottomless abyss, the devils withstood the demon's bombardment with one enemy and one hundred, and the devil once retreated to the demon side for a period of time, almost occupying the first layer of the entire bottomless abyss, if it weren't for the number of demons compared to the devil, maybe the demon would have been beaten down by the devil a long time ago.
"The boy can't see that you have so much knowledge." The horned demon didn't deny that Acoste recognized his own breed, and it opened its mouth wide, revealing two white sharp teeth. "My name is Beldianse, it's a pleasure to meet you, is this your territory?"
"That's right, this is my territory." Acoste looked generously at the two horned demons of his own size, and readily admitted that fighting with the devil is different from the devil, you usually have to fight it verbally for a while before you can make a move. Moreover, the lizardman druid was forced by the devil to stop casting spells after the horned demon appeared, and Acoste was even less panicked.
"Really? It's a pity that now it's occupied by us. Boy, why don't we make a deal. The Horned Demon stretched out his large four-fingered hand and swiped into the air, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air and condensed into a parchment scroll, while it didn't know where to take out a quill and write something on it.
"Boy, as long as you agree to my proposal above, I will help you kill all those lowly lizardmen, as well as this druid." The Horned Demon grabbed the unconscious old lizard from behind his back and shook it at Acoste, "I can also hand him over to you, and even help you brainwash it and make it your most loyal subordinate." “
"The terms do sound tempting, but you've already made a pact with those lizardmen, and is it really okay to break it now?" Acoste said to the Horned Demon, he had a little idea of the whole thing since he saw the Horned Demon's figure. This group of lizardmen must have signed some kind of contract with this horned demon, but the lizardmen who are eager to IQ are 100% set up by the devil, so now the entire tribe is under the control of this horned demon, as for those human captives must have been brainwashed by this devil with magic, and why the lizardmen don't eat these humans There is also an explanation, this horned demon should carry out some evil sacrifice, and those poor humans are just tributes not to raise.
"That's right, those lizardmen are my former partners, but they are too stupid and inefficient, I am ready to find a partner as shrewd as you, don't you humans often say don't dwell on past failures, and life should look forward? I thought you'd understand me. Beldianse tried to keep what he thought was a gentle expression, although it would frighten most ordinary people, "You'd better not try to reject me, you know that we devils are the same as demons in this regard, and you can't really kill me in the main plane." It's a very unwise choice for you to be our enemy, and besides, you may not be able to beat me. “
"You're right, in its current form, it seems that the only way to do this is to work with you," Acoste nodded, and flung the parchment into the Horned Demon's face. "But don't you know that warriors are a bunch of irrational people?"
"Very well, you have succeeded in provoking me, mortal, you may not know my identity, I am the fourth lord of hell, Filna...... Damn it! Halfway through the Horned Demon Berdians' words, a sharp sword slashed into the Horned Demon's huge palm, and its original four fingers suddenly turned into three.
Acoste, however, squinted at Beldianse nonchalantly, and the words that came out of his mouth made the corners of the Horned Demon's eyes jump.
"Do you think that the fourth-layer lord Filna will be able to scare me, and when did that **** who failed to evolve the Pleasure Demon, who was half-human, half-spider, physically disabled, rule the entire fourth layer, and did the Devil Grand Duke Bilair eat Xiang? If you talk nonsense, be careful that I will sue you for slander. “
