Chapter 14: Demons
The Purgatory Dragoon should be the name of John's current body. Touching his chin, John picked up his sword and walked out of the jungle.
Outside the jungle is a grassland, there is no wind, and there are no traces of the existence of other animals or demons, it is a dead land, and only the sound of walking footsteps and legs rubbing against the grass can be heard around. This is not normal, no matter what world it is, it is impossible for a grassland like the one in front of you to be so quiet, and it can even be said to be depressing.
"Aren't there any other demons here?" John asked. "No, in fact, there are no other demons besides you, after all, I haven't finished it yet. Ann replied, "But you just wait a minute, I'll release all the demon beasts here right away." β
As he spoke, John saw countless spatial distortions appear in the prairie in front of him, and after these distortions were all calmed down, countless creatures appeared on the prairie, some of them buried their heads to graze, some lurked in the grass and prepared to ambush other creatures, and some demons hunted with various weapons in their hands, as if they were doing these things here in the first place, and it didn't look like they had just been released.
John watched a demonic beast like a leopard lying on the ground not far away, letting the towering grass completely cover his figure, and slowly approached a deer with a single horn not far away, when the two were close enough, the leopard rushed out with all four limbs, and its four feet were shining. The grazing animals not far away noticed the moment the leopard rushed out, and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction of the leopard, the single horn emitted a yellow light, and on the way to escape, there were constantly earth walls rising from the ground, blocking the leopard's sprint route, and the leopard would spit out energy balls from its mouth one by one, breaking the earthen wall, or directly stepping on the earthen wall, jumping back and forth between the earthen walls. If it weren't for these earthen wall energy balls, this scene would be no different from the African savannah in the rough stone world.
"There's no way, I can't make a new ecology now, not only is it very troublesome, but if this world is more similar to the original stone world, the easier it will be for us to enter the original stone world to find it." Ann explained, but John felt that the main reason was that she was lazy.
Well, even so. John didn't bother with it, and walked forward. John saw that the leopard that had been jumping back and forth in the middle of the earthen wall had caught up with the unicorn, and with the help of the high wall built by the unicorn and his ability to bounce with the blessing of the wind, the leopard jumped high into the air and pounced on the unicorn from above to below.
"Whoosh!" At this time, there was a sound of breaking the air from the side, and John watched a demon who was originally crawling in the distance stand up and threw a spear in his hand, which seemed to be on the trajectory of the leopard's fall. And as if it was a signal, after this throwing spear was thrown, all the demons who were lying around stood up and threw all the throwing spears in their hands at the leopard that was still in the air and the unicorn deer below. In an instant, both the leopard and the unicorn were covered with spears like raindrops.
The leopard and the unicorn deer could see that they didn't notice these lurking demons at all, and they were drowned out by the rain of guns without the slightest dodge.
Watching these demons cheer and rush towards the leopards and unicorn deer who were still moving on the throwing guns, they pulled out a knife from their waists, and began to peel the leopard unicorn that had not yet died, and began to peel and cramp and bloodlet and debon, and soon, these demons took the most fleshy parts, such as the legs and chests, drew those throwing guns that could still be used, and ran away with hulala.
"Are they running away?" John said, watching the demons move. "The Dog Race, the Demon Race, which is at the lowest level of the Demon Race like the Little Inferior Demon but is slightly higher than the Little Inferior Demon, is naturally able to blur its own existence, making it difficult for other creatures to find themselves. Ann said, then pointed to the leopard and the unicorn deer that were still left there: "As for why they are running away, this is why. β
In fact, it didn't take Ann to point it out, John had already seen the change: a monster with the body and hind claws of a lion, but the head and front claws of an eagle, fell from the sky and ate the corpses that were still there. "Griffons, born with the ability to use the power of wind and thunder, belong to the high-ranking demon clan. β
"This is also a demon?" John asked, "I thought that only humanoid people could become demons, so can these become demons" "Yes, demons refer to purgatory creatures that can communicate the will of purgatory and obtain their true names, not limited to appearance. These creatures possess intelligence beyond the confines of animals, and are able to obtain their own species of magicβin fact, all Infernal creatures possess their own kind of magic, but they are unable to communicate the will of Infernal and cut off their path to advancement. β
"Actually, whether they belong to the demon clan or whether they belong to the demon beast only depends on whether they can use the purgatory language, because as long as they become demons, they can obtain the purgatory language in the will of purgatory. "But you were talking about races, not individuals. John was a little confused, because he always felt that Ann was not on the point. "The so-called demon race, that is, some members of this race can communicate the will of purgatory, this race can be called a demon race; of course, if a creature born from the demon race communicates the will of purgatory on its own and obtains its true name and knowledge, he can be called a demon alone, but his race cannot. Just like the griffon, the griffin race is just a magical beast that can use magic, although it is powerful, but it does not have enough intelligence, but this griffin is special, it has gained its own wisdom and communicated the will of purgatory, thus obtaining its real name and becoming a demon. Ann paused and said, "But the Purgatory Dragoon to which your current body belongs is different, every newborn Purgatory Dragoon has enough wisdom to be able to communicate the will of Purgatory on his own as long as he spends his childhood and reaches his youth, which is one of the few races favored by Purgatory." John thought for a moment and concluded, "So, demons can refer to both races and individuals?"
Well, John shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the grassland: "How do I think that the creatures here are not aware of my presence?" John said as he watched a monster that was similar to a rabbit seem to be being chased by something and ran all the way in front of John without hesitation. Ann said, "Because I didn't let you intervene in purgatory, you are indeed completely non-existent to them. You must know that you are now the upper race of Purgatory, and you are born with suppression and domination over the lower races, if you appear here, just with your own coercion, you can lay all the demonic beasts in this kilometer radius on the ground and wait for your orders. β
