It was as if there was a fire burning in the clouds, and beneath the reddish clouds, a row of dilapidated houses were set on fire.

When Grush and Ondel arrived at the scene, they saw a huge black shadow standing in the midst of the fire, and the arrogant laughter echoed in their ears.

Demon!

They figured out the identity of that 'thing' right away, and if there was no accident, it was a demon from the bottomless abyss!

Although the devils are also masters of manipulating fire, they have never been as brainless as demons, and if they knew that Grush was in charge of the city, they would not be so arrogant.

Caution has been carved into their bone marrow, it has become an instinct, and even the Devil Duke would not do such a brainless act - this is not something to be promoted, and even passing them back will make them laugh at by other devils!

Undel didn't say anything, and stepped aside to extinguish the flames, leaving the demon to Grush.

The holy warrior Huo Ran pulled out the [Blazing Sun] and slashed forward with his long sword, the sword wind pressed downward, blowing away the swaying fire in front of him.

It was indeed a demon, but it was a species Grush had never seen before.

It has two horns, a head that looks like a hyena, strong muscles from top to bottom, and dark red spots on its black skin, making it look extremely ugly.

It looked a bit like a werewolf, but it didn't have fur to cover its body, and there were two black wings behind it, even Grush, at the first sight of it, couldn't help but be stunned.

The flame rippling around him was split by a sword, and the demon was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head to look at the human who exuded the smell of 'holiness' all over his body, and suddenly his body trembled and fell to his knees.

"Holy Warrior, please let me live!"

The hyena demon threw itself to the ground, its tall body completely prostrate on the ground, almost curled up into a sphere, and the two wings behind it drooped down and hung on the ground.

Seeing the demon in front of him trembling like chaff, Grush was stunned again, the weapon in his hand was not put away, nor was it cut down, and for a moment, an extremely ridiculous thought appeared in his mind - or, just let it live?

The hyena demon closed his eyes tightly, waited for a long time and did not wait for a response, opened his eyelids slightly and peeked at it, and was so frightened that he closed his eyes again, trying to shrink his body even smaller.

At this time, the clergy of the church in the city also arrived at the scene, and Ondel dragged out the wounded from the house, but there were five or six rooms that were set on fire, but he rescued only one person......

The priests began to treat the wounded, and Ondel walked over to Grush, glancing at the demon lying on the ground, "What's the matter?"

The flames had been completely extinguished, black smoke was rising, and the stench of burning was in the air, but Grush did not feel sick at all.

He gasped, suppressed the anger in his heart, and glared at the demon, "Tell me, what the hell is going on!"

Hearing the anger in that voice, the hyena demon's body trembled again, and he was silent for a long time before slowly telling the truth of the matter: "Someone, someone summoned me here...... No, no, no, it wasn't to summon me, but to all the lower planes, but I was quick and the first to respond to the call, so, so ......"

With that, the hyena demon hurriedly begged in an accented lingua franca: "Lord Holy Warrior, please let me live, I am willing to be your eyeliner and your undercover agent in the bottomless abyss!"

Grush ignored the sentence behind it, pondered for a moment, sighed and asked, "That man...... What did I pray to you?"

The hyena demon snorted, and after a while, he replied tremblingly, "He made me ...... Homicide. ”

"Kill whom?" Grush frowned.

The demon hung his head and replied truthfully, "A man named 'Mark Norris.'" ”

The Paladin and the Red Dragon looked at each other, if they remembered correctly, it was the name of one of the leaders of the 'Rebels', and when he gave the people a 'surname', he had flaunted to them that his ancestor was an adventurer with a surname.

"And then, you said yes?" Grushh looked up, "So, what about the ruins around you?"

“...... Paladin-sama, I need a soul. The demon pressed his forehead against the ground, but still said aggrievedly, "That guy's soul is simply not enough for me to come to the main material plane, I need to collect more souls, so I have to kill more people before I go to kill that man......"

Greed is the nature of demons, and only a very small number of demons are able to break free from their own nature.

In their eyes, the only value that humans have for them is that their 'soul' quality is okay and can be traded.

For example, the reason why this demon in front of him responded to the prayer of a poor man to come to the main material plane was to take advantage of this opportunity to collect souls.

Grush lowered his head, stared indifferently at the back of the hyena demon's head, and asked softly, "What about the soul?"

Under the admiring and amazed gazes of the surrounding people, the demon obediently pulled out several clouds of white mist from his arms.

When it let go of its hand, the white mist floated upwards, and no one could see it, but Grushh did.

He didn't know which one of them was the soul of the man who had prayed to the demons, who had helplessly prayed to the creatures of the lower planes, causing the loss of many lives...... But in the end, it's his fault!

Obviously, he knew that those guys were not trustworthy, and they would sooner or later become like the rotten nobles, but in order to ensure the integrity of the rebel army, he did not deal with those guys, which eventually led to the current tragedy.

This is just one of them, and it happened to be discovered by him, so is there anything else that has not been discovered by him?

At the thought of this, his arms couldn't help but start shaking - it was all his fault, if he hadn't lost face in the first place, this wouldn't have happened!

Why should he care about his 'good name'? Isn't it worth it if he can make the people live a good life, even if they don't understand it, and they call it a 'tyrant' and a 'dictator'?

"Mark Norris......" Grush looked up, his red eyes looking in the direction of the temporary town hall.

"That's not right!"

At this time, Ondel suddenly frowned, snorted softly, and pressed Grush's shoulder, "Grush, you calm down first, the time is not right!"

"Time?" the paladin pursed his lips angrily, and immediately turned his head to look at Ondel, but even with his anger, he still maintained the most basic thinking ability.

Being reminded by the red dragon like this, he quickly understood, and pointed to the hyena demon kneeling on the ground, "You didn't feel it just now?!"

Ondel was noncommittal, just shook his head, "The time is not right! And it's too far away, if it just appeared, I wouldn't have been able to feel it." ”

At this time, the two of them thought of a place in their minds at the same time - the town hall!

Boom –

A violent tremor came suddenly, and the roar of the explosion suddenly rang out, and Grush and Ondel turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a flame rising into the sky, and then slowly pulling open to both sides, turning into a tall door and standing on the ground.

After a moment of froze, Grush was awakened by the sound of screams that almost pierced their eardrums.

The smell of blasphemy appeared on the tip of the paladin's nose, and even he smelled the stench of evil!

His countenance gradually became distorted and hideous, and boundless anger suddenly rose.

He pulled his sword out of the ground and pointed it at the hyena demon, "Demon, now you have two choices-"

"I choose to follow you into battle!" Before Grush's words could be finished, the hyena demon raised his hands and hurriedly said, "The devil is also our enemy, and I am willing to help...... No, I'm willing to follow you!"

Looking at its unbearable appearance, the holy warrior snorted coldly, turned his head and left, and the figure suddenly disappeared in front of the demon, and before it could breathe a sigh of relief, it felt a cold gaze fall on it again.

With a shudder, the hyena demon scrambled to his feet from the ground, spreading his wings and flying in the direction of the 'Flame Gate'.

And Ondel, following it closely, didn't say a word, and let it hurry up and speed up.

The red dragon's face was gloomy, and the devil had actually entered at this time!
