"Damn it!"

Arnold couldn't help but curse, in the face of so many enemies, no matter how strong Beatrice is, it is difficult to deal with so many enemies at the same time and protect Arnold without area magic.

"Lily!" With enemies on three sides and a wall behind him, Arnold has no way to escape, "Hurry up and help the handle!"

"Watch behind you!" Lily shouted at Arnold as she ran quickly towards him.

Arnold was stunned, he was now leaning against the wall, what could be behind him?

Arnold reacted quickly, though—he remembered the assassin who had escaped into the wall.

It's just that he remembered it too late.

The dagger stabbed Arnold into his heart from the back of the wall, straight into his heart. Blood slowly poured out of his wounds, staining the white shirt he wore inside, but it wasn't much, it only soaked his shirt.

At that moment, Arnold subconsciously thought that he was dead, and the horror of death eroded his will in an instant, as if all the light in front of him was dimmed in an instant.

All Arnold felt was a sharp pain in his chest.

In the midst of the severe pain, Arnold slowly regained consciousness, although his chest hurt, his body was still moving, and his mind was still clear, as if it was not a sign of death.

He realized that his heart had stopped beating, and this time it didn't kill him.

Perhaps it was the pain that gave Arnold a very sober reaction, he was no longer as sluggish as he was just now, and immediately reached into his sleeve and tore the magic scroll directly in his sleeve.

This one stores lightsaber, which is usually useless for Arnold, because his swordsmanship is very bad, but now, it is his best way to save himself.

When Arnold pulled his hand out of his sleeve, he also pulled out a dazzling lightsaber, and then held the sword in his backhand, without thinking much about it, and stabbed it directly into his heart.

"If you have given me the sorrow of death, then let me borrow your mercy now. ”

The lightsaber pierced through Arnold's chest, alongside the dagger, and stabbed into the wall where Arnold's back was leaning.

There was a muffled grunt from the wall, and then blood gushed out, spraying a blood-stained picture on the wall, and from a distance, it looked as if a pair of bloody wings had suddenly opened behind Arnold's back.

When the men besieging Beatrice and Arnold saw this, their attacks became more and more violent, and Beatrice's blazing rays were almost unable to stop them. But fortunately, Lily also turned back immediately, she was like a sturdy she-wolf, after killing into the crowd, like a meat grinder, tearing those men in black to pieces.

However, Arnold didn't see any of these scenes, and although he didn't hesitate to send the lightsaber into his heart just now, the heart-rending pain still made him almost unconscious. Arnold was now slumped against the wall, his eyes rolled upward, revealing only the whites of his eyes, and he looked like he had fainted in pain.

"Arnold!" Lily was still fighting in the crowd, she didn't have any weapons in her hands, but with her bare hands, she killed the man in black. However, there were too many assassins in black, and Arnold was surrounded by a group of them, and although Beatrice barely guarded him, for a while, Lily could not get close to Arnold's side.

Arnold's consciousness slowly sank, and he vaguely heard Lily's cries, but in a trance, the voice gradually moved away from him.

————————————

"If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. ”

"It is written, 'Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" ’”

"If you are the Son of God, you may jump down, for it is written, 'The Lord commanded his angel for you, to bear you by the hand, so that your feet do not touch a stone.'" ’”

"It is also written, 'Do not tempt the Lord your God.'" ’”

"If you fall down and worship me, I will give you all these things. ”

"Stand away, Satan, for it is written, 'Worship your God, and serve him only.'" ’”

Arnold slowly opened his eyes.

He subconsciously touched his chest, where the pain was no longer there, but his head hurt as if it was about to burst, as if the wounds on his chest had been transferred to his brain.

His consciousness was still in a trance, the scene in front of him was shaking, and Arnold staggered to his feet, only to find that his surroundings were something he had never seen before.

A few broken columns stood to his left and right, and looking at the distance between them, Arnold could roughly tell that these pillars were once part of a palace, and they were arranged quite neatly. There were also some fragments of carpet left on the ground, and the red high-grade materials were still roughly in their original positions, and the outline of a carpet could barely be seen. Further back, although the throne has been broken and the Cloud Majesty has fallen, it is still vaguely possible to see what they once looked like.

However, there was nothing but the ruins, and there was darkness behind the pillars, and even if Arnold was only a few meters away from them, no matter how much he opened his eyes and looked closely, he could not see what was behind the darkness. It seems that the darkness itself is not a shade of light, but something substantial, tangible.

"Don't look around. A familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind Arnold, "Those things are dangerous. Black is a color that has such a terrible attraction that if you keep staring at it, you will be sucked into it without realizing it. ”

Arnold turned his head, and the face that he remembered was fresh again.

"I didn't think you'd call me here...... although his head was still hurting, Arnold quickly reacted, and he had a clear idea of the situation he was in.

"Your Highness Beler. ”

Arnold struggled to support his body on one knee so that his kneeling position would not look too ugly.

Belette glanced at Arnold, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and then flicked his fingers to signal that the other party could get up.

"You came here a lot earlier than I thought. Belette didn't look at Arnold, but walked towards the ruined throne, "Maybe my expectations of you are too high, you are only a mortal after all, and death is too easy for you." ”

Arnold bowed his head, not daring to respond to Belle's words.

"Why don't you make a sound?" said Belel, sitting down on his throne and looking down at Arnold, "weren't you very eloquent in that forest?"

"Now I am just your servant, Your Highness. Arnold bowed his head deeply and said very respectfully.

"My servant?" Arnold heard a chuckle from Belier, but he didn't look up, so he didn't know what the expression on his face was.

"You are indeed very good at puffing out your tongue, and you are obviously acting according to other people's plans, but you still dare to claim to be my servant?" Belle leaned back on the back of his chair, which was already half-left, and looked at Arnold with a rather playful look in his eyes, "What's the use of me asking for a servant like you?

"I have been blessed by you, so this body and spirit are all yours. ”

"Your body is weak, your soul is filthy and ugly, and you deserve to be rejected are not worthy of my gift. Bellet's voice echoed through the ruined temple, and though he didn't deliberately accentuate it, it still looked immense, "Arnold Svan Feglaf, your life was saved because of your sister's purity, and yet I hate you to the extreme. Moreover, I have given you the power to live according to the contract, but you yourself did not use this power well, and now you are to blame for the situation you have fallen into. ”

Belette held out his hand, palm facing Arnold. "Perhaps, I can end this contract early, incorporate you into my legion, and let you be the worst of the worst demons?"

"It is an absolute pleasure to serve you, Your Highness. Arnold still didn't look up, but his voice was calm and powerful, without the slightest panic, "However, with all due respect, now that our contract has just begun, please allow me to continue to fulfill the rights given to me in this contract." ”

Belel raised an eyebrow. "It is not necessary to use the word 'fulfillment' of rights. ”

"Forgive me for my gaffes, Your Highness. ”

Arnold took a deep breath and looked up.

"You made me your dependent, giving me the strength to live, you took my heart and gave me an immortal body that is both a blessing and a curse, so now our contract is not over, I am not dead, and I can still fulfill this contract. ”

"Immortal?" Arnold saw the corners of Belle's mouth curl slightly, and then turned into a nasal voice of disdain, "You are really self-righteous, would I give you an immortal body like this?"

Belette held out his hand, and Arnold felt as if his neck was being grabbed by an invisible hand, as if Belial's hand had grabbed him directly by the neck, ignoring the distance of twenty or thirty meters between them.

Pulled by that invisible force, Arnold was dragged in front of Belier. His body slammed into the steps under the throne, the pain clear and severe.

"I'll show you, what you think is the truth about the immortal. ”

Arnold endured the pain in his body, and when he raised his head with difficulty, there was already an extra box in Belier's hand at some point.

There was a "pounding" sound inside the box, as if it were ...... The heartbeat is the same.

Arnold subconsciously touched his heart.

"You guessed it right. Seeing Arnold's movements, a mocking smile appeared on his face, "This is your heart." ”

Belel opened the box, and a living heart was lying inside, beating vigorously.

Who has ever lived to see their beating heart?

Arnold suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and it seemed that he couldn't breathe well.

"This is the truth of your 'immortality'. Belette closed the box, then bent down and looked at Arnold, who was as wretched as a dog at the bottom of the steps, with a terrible glint in his eyes. It was only then that Arnold remembered that the person in front of him was Belel, one of the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell after all.

"You're just a poor man without a heart. ”

The sullenness intensified, and Arnold felt like he was running out of breath.

"If I pierce that soft thing in here......"

Belel placed the box on the stone armrest of the throne and slapped his hand heavily on the lid.

"Guess what you're going to become?"

A feeling of nausea lingered in Arnold's throat, and when Belle slapped it on the box just now, he felt as if it had been slapped on his heart. Moreover, it was directly slapped on the heart, imagining that his organs were being directly slapped, and that feeling almost made Arnold vomit.

"I want to know too......"

Suddenly, a voice came from the other end of the hall, and Arnold subconsciously turned his head, and before he turned back, he faintly saw the look of surprise and even some panic on Bellier's face.

A light, a blinding, extreme and pure white, broke through the black curtain and shone in front of Arnold. And the voice in the light seems so joyful, so kind, that people can't help but want to get close to each other.

"What will happen to him?"

The voice in the light asked.

"Yellard ......"

Belle stood up suddenly, his eyes changed, and those seemingly ordinary eyes turned into linear pupils as fierce as a poisonous snake in an instant.

"I'm glad you remember me!" said the voice in the light, "my dear brother!"
