The demon first appeared in everyone's eyes, and it was the first time Stan and Rui had seen the demon at such a close distance, and both of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to come out, hiding themselves completely behind the trunk of the tree.

Followed by more than a dozen ghouls, the scale was only a small formation, maybe in the original plan of the dark tide, this team was just a substitute for the first squad, they didn't expect the first squad to be wiped out. The demon glanced around vigilantly, but there was no sound in the forest, and even the birds could not be heard in the bitter cold winter of the north. A group of walking corpses walked slowly to the place where Stan had stopped just now, and there was an open space in front of them, and the demon suddenly stopped, as if he was a little afraid of the open space in front of him, and the atmosphere was very strange.

The demon seemed to think for a moment, and then turned around and yelled at the ghoul behind him, but no one could understand what it was, only a muffled voice that seemed to come from his throat. The two ghouls then broke away from the group and began to walk forward. When they step on the dirt in the clearing, Stan even thinks the ground will collapse, but nothing happens, and the ghoul crosses the clearing, standing on the opposite side waiting for further orders from the demon.

The demon seemed to be relieved, and continued to move forward with the rest of the ghouls himself, while not forgetting to pay attention to the movements around him.

By the time the last of the ghouls stepped onto the clearing, the demon's mount was almost out of the clearing, and Stan knew there must be a mystery here, but now the opportunity was about to be lost.

In an instant, a crisp whistle pierced the strange silence like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and suddenly the demon rarely showed a panicked look. Almost at the same time, the dirt beneath the demons and ghouls suddenly collapsed like an avalanche, giving them no time to react, and with the dense sound of falling water, everyone except the two ghouls who had explored the path earlier fell into the trap. The trap was filled with water, and the ghoul who fell into it immediately lost the consciousness of resistance, and only struggled to die in the water, while the demon did not immediately touch the water in the trap because he was riding on a horse, but his feet were submerged in the water, and he was now screaming in pain while trying to get up from his horse.

At the same time, five warriors jumped down from the pine trees in front and to the left, and they quickly drew their swords and swung them at the two surviving ghouls. The ghouls also drew their weapons and counterattacked, but the warriors were obviously very well-trained, and knew the ghouls' tricks well, and they had the advantage in numbers, so they didn't give them any chance at all, but after a few moves, one of the fighters kicked one of the ghouls into the trap, and the other ghoul couldn't hold it for long, and was knocked down by the two warriors together.

Everything seemed to be going well, and before the warriors could recover their senses, the neighing of horses followed by the howl of the wrath of the demon came from the trap. Stan and Rui can clearly see from the tree that the demon is already standing on horseback, and the next moment he is about to jump out of the trap.

"Be careful!" Rui reminded the warrior loudly.

The warriors turned, and the monstrous face of the demon appeared before them, and although his feet were burned, his momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

"Damn, we've got to go down and help them, and they can't resist the demons. Stan was anxious to climb down the tree, but as soon as he got up, he found that his legs were shaking and he couldn't climb down.

"Don't worry, they seem to be better than Fern. Rui carefully observed the reactions of the warriors, and saw that the five warriors were not overwhelmed by fear like Fern, although their hands and feet were stiff because of fear, but they did not retreat, but confronted the demon like this. "It looks like they must not be civilians, most likely Sarah's surviving soldiers. Rui guessed.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the demon seemed to have discovered a weakness among the five, and suddenly stabbed a sword at a warrior on the back side. The warrior seemed to have a wound on his body, and he couldn't dodge it quickly, so he was stabbed in the chest by the demon. The stabbed warrior looked down in horror at the broadsword that had sunk into his body, and his throat clicked with fear and pain.

"Herus! bastard!" The warrior on the right mustered up the courage to raise his sword and slash at the demon, the demon wanted to pull out his sword to resist, but found that the sword was tightly grasped by Herus, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, so he had to raise his other hand to block the sword, and the sword slashed into the rotten flesh on the demon's arm and was deeply embedded in the bones. But the demon didn't know the pain at all, and was still trying to pull out the sword in Herus's body, but Herus struggled to support it, and couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore, and screamed in pain.

The other three warriors finally broke through the fear in their hearts, shouting and raising their swords in unison to slash at the demon, this time the demon no longer had any extra hands to resist the attack, and was slashed into the head, neck and ribs by the three swords at the same time. Rui also unleashed dark magic on the tree, and a black mist flew from the side towards the demon, enveloping its head, trying to devour the monster. But even such an attack did not make the demon stop drawing his sword, and Herus's hands were stained with his own blood, regardless of the sharpness of the sword, and he desperately grabbed the demon's sword. But he was on the verge of collapse, the sword that had pierced his chest had been pulled out in half, and it was covered with dripping blood and even a viscous liquid, and it looked like Herus's heart had been pierced.

"Basorem...... Answer...... Promise me to stick a ...... in front of my grave Insert a snowdrop, which is Sin's favorite flower. Herus coughed as he said to his comrades, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, making him cough incessantly.

"Don't say stupid things, you'll be fine. The warrior named Basorem angrily slashed several swords at the demon, but like the previous attack, it did not cause any damage to the monster in front of him.

The other three warriors swung their swords at the demon's head and neck, but they were unable to break its bones as hard as steel.

"Promise me, Basorem...... Promise me!" Herus said the same sentence resolutely, his will beginning to blur.

Basorem glanced sadly at his dying comrades. "I promise you, Herus, that I will do it!"

"Thank you......" Herus finally squeezed out a smile, and then his expression immediately became unusually determined, and the warrior began to use the last of his strength to charge at the demon with his sword against it.

The sword pierced deep into Herus's body again, piercing through his back, and the sound of blood splattering mixed with Herus's mournful shouts struck the deepest part of everyone's hearts. The warrior rushed all the way to the demon, and even submerged the demon's sword-holding hand into his body, but he still didn't stop. "For Sarah!" Herus shouted with all his might, and as he lost consciousness, he stretched out his hands and leaped forward, hugged the demon tightly, and fell into the trap with him.

The demon who fell into the trap again rolled violently in the water, and the howl was deafening, as if it was suffering greatly. Basolem and his companions stood on the edge of the trap and looked at him angrily, even that couldn't calm the anger in their hearts. After a while, the demon finally stopped struggling, and slowly sank, and the trap returned to peace, and all that remained was a few hands and feet sticking out of the water, like dry wood.

Both Ray and Stan were shocked by Herus's tragic actions, and their emotions could not be calmed for a long time.
