Chapter 34: Say Your Real Name
"Let me take a good look at this little one. The demon's gaze wandered over Carlo, giving him a slight sense of oppression.
"The smell of sulfur, the bloodline of the Flame Demon... Well, what beautiful eyes, and succubus blood, it's not much use.."
"What else .."
The leader demon raised his right hand, and a small ring of lightning appeared in his palm.
A great sense of crisis rose from the bottom of Carlo's heart, and he jumped forward like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Bang. Lightning struck where he had just stood, blasting a blackened hole.
"That's a good response. The leader demon's eyes lit up, and more lightning appeared in his hand, then vanished.
Carlo's figure kept changing positions, moving from one place to another, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the battle instinct prompted his body to dodge again and again.
Jumping, rolling, retreating... Carlo was toyed with like a clown, embarrassed.
The lightning appeared faster and faster, and even though Carlo could foresee the danger, his body did not have time to react, and finally, he was hit.
Tingling, and numbing, Carlo fell to the ground in an instant, his body emitting the smell of burning, and his muscles twitched uncontrollably.
He couldn't even control one of his little fingers.
The swarm of insects roared in mid-air, entrenched over him, merging into Nemos's strangely ugly face.
"Quack.. Boy, you also have today.."
Disgusting bugs crackled and landed on his face, and a huge sense of humiliation and powerlessness rose in Carlo's heart.
A hoarse voice came out of his mouth: "I am willing to choose to surrender." ”
Carlo knew that this boss-level demon had played him up to now, apparently not with the intention of killing him. Between death and humiliation, Carlo did not hesitate to choose the latter.
"I'm amazed at how smart you are. The leader-level demon clapped his hands and showed an ugly smile on his face, "You should call me Lord Beret." ”
"Lord Beret, please accept my submission. Carlo repeated it again.
The swarm departed from him, circling wildly in mid-air, mixed with Nemos's hearty laughter.
Carlo's body finally regained consciousness, and he stood up, bowing his head slightly, the hatred and resentment in his eyes buried deeply.
"Okay. Beret seemed to be in a good mood, nodded in satisfaction, and then walked over to Carlo: "Then I'm going to make a little mark on your soul." ”
The soul contract, Carlo's most played hand in the world of Grimm, is now going to be used on himself.
For a moment, the urge to turn around and run away popped up in his heart, but soon a cold killing intent quickly dispelled the thought.
As long as he dares to move, Beret will not hesitate to kill him.
The nature of demons contains cunning, deceit, betrayal, and lies, and they will not trust anyone but themselves, unless the life and death of the other party are in his hands.
Berette's fingers landed on Carlo's forehead, and the sharp fingertips had pierced his flesh, and suddenly, Beret stopped.
"I suddenly changed my mind. Beret touched his muscular bare chin, thought about it for a while, and said, "I was a little surprised by your performance just now, and the soul contract doesn't reassure me."
"Tell me your real name, and I will treat you like a parent. ”
Carlo jerked his head up to meet Beret's indifferent eyes.
As long as his strength is strong enough to surpass the realm of Beret, there is still a possibility that the soul contract will be overthrown and torn up, but if his true name is known, there will never be a day to turn over.
Even if he was promoted to a Commander-level demon one day, a demon lord or even a demon archduke, as long as Beret was willing, he would die under one of his thoughts.
This is a real desperate situation.
It's no wonder that Carlo's traits are so amazing that Beret values him a lot, and even worries that one day he won't be able to control him, and he must know Carlo's real name because of his selfishness.
The real name cannot be faked, and the real name of each demon is unique and resonates with the abyss when pronounced.
Perhaps because Carlo had hesitated for too long, Beret seemed impatient.
"If you don't want to, you can choose to return to the bosom of the abyss now.."
A lightning bolt more terrible than anything before appeared in Berette's hand, and a leaping electric light illuminated Carlo's uncertain face.
A jealous Nemos roared beside him, "Kill him, Lord Beret, kill this unscrupulous bastard."
"Shut up!"
The lightning splashed on Nemos, and a large number of insects turned into charcoal and fell, and Nemos let out a miserable scream, and ducked away, not daring to say a word more.
Carlo raised his head and looked into Berette's eyes, his lips squirming: "My real name..."
The voice was heard only by Beret, and when Carlo stopped speaking, an inexplicable voice sounded in the dim sky.
All three looked up unconsciously.
It was a revelation of the demon's real name.
Beret nodded contentedly, with an undisguised look of appreciation in his eyes: "Your talent is truly amazing, and the length of your real name even exceeds mine... Huh.."
Carlo was silent, as if he had become numb and depressed to the extreme.
Beret patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Cheer up, little one, things aren't as bad as you think." You've just earned the greatest trust from Lord Beret. ”
A fatherly smile appeared on the face of the fierce and murderous Berret, as he said, "I will treat you like a child." ”
Carlo spoke, "Just call me Carlo as an adult." ”
"Carlo?" Beret nodded slightly, "What a good pseudonym." ”
At the mention of the name, Carlo's face twitched again involuntarily.
"Alright Carlo, I'm going to take you to meet a couple of funny bastards, you'll be glad to meet them. ”
Beret spread the bone wings behind him, Carlo followed respectfully, and Nemos chased after him, and the circling swarm of insects came to Carlo's side.
"I hear your name, Carlo, isn't it? Lord Beret is very nice to you. Nemos's tone smacked of schadenfreude.
Carlo tilted his head slightly, flashed a cruel smile at him, and the next moment, the flames of "bang" ignited, and the surprise attack at close range was enough to burn more than half of Nemos's body.
Screams echoed through the sky.
"Carlo, you damn bastard.."
"Shut up, Nemos, you're too noisy. Beret let out a low snort, then turned his head and gave Carlo a bright, hideous smile: "You can kill him if you want." ”
Carlo sullenly said, "I will." ”
Nemos, who had suffered a big loss, didn't dare to talk anymore, obviously in Berette's heart, he and Carlo were like a Guban cystis that could be pinched to death at any time.
