Chapter 144: Team (12)
Asmodeos laughed, almost every devil had criticized its laughter, which sounded like a pink marshmallow in the Endless Abyss, and the laughter of a juvenile succubus, or a baby born to a human woman and a devil, was more threatening than its laughter, and its cry, its shapeshift, its tail and teeth, its size destined it to be less than a piece of food (Asmodeos was quite grateful), and in the bottomless abyss it could not gain the attention of any of the great devils, let alone their favor。 So, like many little devils, it turned its power to the main physical plane, and the red and gray robes were often willing to raise a little devil as a messenger, agent, and assassin.
Asmodeus was fortunate that its first owner was a lich, and although he was not very senior among the undead, he was better than the average grey-robed or apprentice - the little devil had laughed at the kind of people who had been forced into contracts by fools who were only a little better than mortals- It had no idea that it would find itself in such a miserable situation, that it would have to be at odds with a mortal of elven blood, and whenever it watched Dermon make a fool, it could not help but think of its first master, the clever and young (for the undead) lich.
In the eyes of the little devil, he was not cruel enough, nor ruthless enough, and was willing to keep his promises, but perhaps because of this, Asmodeos could even be said to be paid handsomely from him, with that. The little devil quickly rose from a poor devil to a position on par with a succubus over the course of a few decades, both in wisdom and strength - he could serve his master more and more, and the name Asmodeus grew to become more and more popular. And then...... The little devil shrugged his shoulders, its original owner should have known that the devil was always cunning and changeable, that they could not be forever subservient to one master, and that it could not continue to maintain its loyalty when a greater power reached out to it - it did have some dealings with several undead, who were much more greedy than his master, except Asmodeos. They also covet the secrets and powers of their masters.
Its owner actually had dragon blood that Asmodeos did not expect, who could have guessed, from the shape of his hand bones. At best, I guessed that he was a half-elf - the gods were above, and if you were a descendant of a dragon, the little devil thought, you should become a warlock. It's easy to stand at the top of most spellcasters - not to be a grey robe that requires painstaking reciting spell memory gestures with a spell book in your hands. Ah, it's not a matter of being a gray robe, he's also transformed into a lich with only a skeleton of bones.
Transforming a lich is not a fun and easy thing to do, ignoring the countless money, manpower, lives, and precious spell casting materials spent during the preparation period, how many gray robes have failed to transform themselves into zombies with no memory or intelligence left?
But that's what the master of Asmodeos did.
He managed to escape from the siege of several lichs and inflicted heavy damage on two of them. Asmodeus didn't expect him to be slow enough not to discover his betrayal, so. Just as Dermont had done to him, the little devil thought that his original owner was in a precarious state of weakness, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him into breaking the contract between them, and as we have seen, the contract was indeed broken, but another contract was established at the same time - it was banished.
For a long time, Asmodeus not only could not enjoy himself in the main material realm like a free little devil, but also dragged his demonic body to flee around, unable to return to the Endless Abyss, and after being banished, it was not as powerful as an inferior demon. Thanks to its small, harmless appearance, it hides in the human house, gaining the trust of the children, making them quietly take themselves back to their rooms, and then burrow them into their stomachs after they fall asleep, and eat them completely - it has to rely on this flesh to heal its wounds and regain its strength- In a human castle, he was caught in the castle by the owner of Amonis, who was interested in adding a supper, but the owner of the latter did not think so, he was fascinated by the spells cast on Asmodeus, and after months of research, he finally figured out the key, instead of throwing the little devil who had lost his master to make dessert as Ammonis always nagged, he gave it to his disciple Demon.
At the first sight of Dermon, Asmodeos knew that he would not be his true master, and neither could he, even if he forcibly acquired Asmodeus' true name while he was seriously wounded. The little devil's true name is still firmly in the hands of its first master, and his authority is greater than that of the little devil and all the casters whose power is lower than his, while Demon, who is mediocre in qualifications, a little clever but impatient, and short-sighted, can only say that he has chosen a certain path of death when he becomes a red-robed disciple, and the length of the path is completely controlled by his mentor.
Just like now.
The Warlock who worked for the Guild of the "Thin Web", or rather, for the terrible shadow behind the Guild, who, like Asmodeus's original owner, had the blood of a dragon flowing through his body, and did not hesitate to spare the life of one of his disciples - he, Anrui, and the female leader of the Thieves' Guild had engaged in a series of negotiations and deliberations through spells, the details of which were unknown to the little devil, but it knew that Anrui had agreed to build a tower for the Red Robes.
The pain woke Demon to his senses, and he pulled out a wand from the dimensional pouch around his waist, and when it was broken, it could cast a powerful protective spell, but as soon as he took it out, a honey-skinned hand came around the back of his shoulder, gently pulling it away from his clenched fingers, and when he screamed, trying to take it back, a ring-shaped knife that had been enchanted with a pure gold knife came around from the other side, cutting the Mithril chain that held the dimensional bag, and the protective magic on the chain flickered slightly before disappearing。
The dimensional bag filled with scrolls, wands, and wands was held in the hands of the guild leader.
Dermon stared at her in horror, and the wonderful body had given him so many beautiful fantasies that it had now given so many terrible speculations: "...... I have not betrayed you!" he cried out, "No......! I ...... on every piece of paper All stamped. Signed: I'm in prison...... There is not a single thief affiliated with you, I ...... I also let the businessmen ...... Paid the taxes you demanded," he stammered. Even the pain in his eyes was forgotten: "I did all your commands, and I ...... I didn't try to fight for it...... Your rights. ”
"Please," said the archon of the White Tower, kneeling down and pleading in despair, "don't, tell me if there is anything I have done that is not enough for your satisfaction, and I will do it - is my wife displeasing to you, and I can go and kill her with my own hands, and her children, and please do not hurt me!
"There's nothing I can't dislike about you. The female thief said softly, stroking the dimensional pouch made of succubus skin—even the gesture of an elderly grandmother touching her youngest grandson might not be as gentle and considerate as she was, "but we do need you to do something for us......"
"Of course! Of course!" Demont eagerly promised, "whatever it is!"
"Can you open the passage to Grey Ridge for us?"
Demont's movements stopped suddenly—of course it couldn't be. The elves hated him so much that he didn't even dare to leave the White Tower and walk around the Starlight River, let alone negotiate with the elves. Let them resume trade with the White Tower.
"Look. The female thief spread her fingers, "I said it, but it seems you can't do it." ”
"If the elves return," cried Demon hoarsely, "you will not be able to survive in the White Tower." ”
The female thief smiled, baring two sharp teeth, "We have our means," she said, "but she was right to remind us, we want a prosperous commercial city that can bring us intelligence and gold." Not a ruined city. ”
"She?" Demont immediately caught the word, "Who is she?
"It's me. ”
Demont turned around, and he saw his wife. Still so docile, thin, with his hands in front of his abdomen, his eyes full of pity and pleasure.
"She can also help us do things you can't. The female thief added, smiling as she hung the dimensional bag on her belt, "So, dear Demon, you can only be put to a second use - to put our lovely little lord out of the fire." ”
Dermon smiled distortedly, "A dead man can't do anything. He declared and began to turn the magic ring he wore on his thumb.
Anrui didn't back down, the power of the magic caused an inaudible vortex to fill the room, but it wasn't a deadly spell, quite the opposite—it was a teleportation spell, and Demon finally made the right decision, but it was too late, Asmodeos knew Demon's magic device better than anyone present, its tail was like a black line that had been streaked through the air, and it stretched violently, stabbing the surface of the ring.
The tiny flash of fire burned the little devil's tail and Demon's fingers, and the spell was successfully and brutally interrupted, and the caster's bloated form went from clear to blurred and then from vague to clear, and then fell uncontrollably to the ground.
With a howl like a wounded beast, the leader of the Thieves' Guild cut off all of Dermon's fingers and picked up the rings from the pool of blood.
"Alright, he'll give it to you. The female thief said.
"Thank you very much," Anrui said calmly, ignoring Demon's filthy swearing, "I need a little time." ”
"Whatever you want. The female thief said, pacing to the side of the room, snuggling up to a chair that looked very comfortable, and began to examine her booty.
"Come in. An Rui said.
A veiled woman immediately walked in from the outside, trembling at first, but quickly stabilizing herself when she saw Anrui and Demont lying on the ground.
"Take off your veil. Anrui said, "Let him see the sins he has committed." ”
The woman took off her veil, and her mouth was arched like a wild boar, and she was unusually ugly, but just by looking at her gentle eyes and the small straight bridge of her nose, you knew that she was beautiful.
"I promised you. Anrui said, "Do you want a knife?"
The woman smiled, it was a smile that will never be forgotten, "I brought it." She pulled an iron fork from under her skirt, which she used to roast meat in the kitchen, and it was charred black, except for the pointed tip.
Demon tried to escape, but his pet flew over, gouged out his other eye, bit off his nose, and poured his own venom into the bloody wound, which was so tiny that it only served to paralyze the little devils when they were storing food.
"Take your time," Anrui said, "we still have a lot of time." ”
&&&
- What the hell is this?!, the otherworldly soul shouted.
- The original owner of this underground palace, said the lich, besides, please don't say what the hell this is, it is degrading to his current status, although the maggot mage has nothing to praise.
The former undead tore open the scroll, and a fireball struck it, and the flames spread through the mass of maggots, and they soon smelled the disgusting scorching smell coming from the burning of something "more than ten times more protein than beef", but like a wave of maggots, one after another, it immediately covered the flames under the layers of wriggling white worms.
They surged and bonded together to form a human-like body at a speed that was neither fast nor slow - it let out a silent roar of rage, and held out its fingers to the lich and his cohabitants, and a clump of sticky maggots was hurled at him like a baseball, and the lich dodged sideways, and the maggots were thrown into the wall of the rock, eroding it into a hole the size of a fist.
――It's too much, the soul of the other world said weakly, glad that it wasn't itself that needed to face this monster, and it almost didn't want to look at it anymore.
- Observe, as the lich calmly maneuvers the maggot-shaped monster reminding him that such monsters are common, but generally their core is only an ordinary wraith, and as for this one, according to my sage, it may be that the innocent and lovely white robes have not been able to clean it up completely, and they probably think that killing an undead is all that is necessary to break a box......
- Does it have anything to do with the lich?
- The fragment left after the undead was destroyed, there was not much sanity to speak of, but his body, as well as the maggots and worms that had grown in his experiments, would instinctively find the fragment and combine it into a monster similar to the original body, which the lich said was dangerous for mortals and less powerful adventurers.
――What about you?
- I can leave it here and deal with it while you take control of this body. What do you think?
- Thank you, but still not.
The spirit of the other world said, and then it stopped talking, and sank into the sea of consciousness a little, so as not to disturb the reluctant landlord, just like not talking to the driver when driving, and chattering with a spellcaster while he was about to cast a spell is also a good way to kill yourself. (To be continued......)
