The behavior of demons is as unpredictable as their nature, and many things that are completely unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary people, demons often take it for granted. It is a very foolish mistake to predict the demon's reaction, for example, after being driven from this world, rational beings will lick their wounds, regain their strength, investigate the opponent's information, and wait for an opportunity. But Erdu's choice was to bet on all his net worth without hesitation, and immediately launch revenge. It is precisely for this reason that people always underestimate the determination of the demons to do something, and they are always unwilling to complain about stupid things like "this is unreasonable!" when their throats are torn apart by hook claws.

Peg thought she knew enough about demons to get her out of these people. But what happened in front of her made her still exclaim from the bottom of her heart, "Hell!"

The little witch's cry was not exaggerated, and as the owner of the talon crawled out of the garden of death woven by Kolanty, a heavy sense of despair weighed down on everyone like a mountain. The demon was three meters tall, with scarlet skin and curved goat-like horns on its head, just like his hooves. The demon shook his head and shook off the few plant debris hanging from the horns above his head, and two huge fleshy wings spread out from his back, bringing with him a hurricane with the strong smell of sulfur.

"Why are you here!, you should be sitting in the castle!" Elsa and Mona, who had fought against Erdu in the royal capital, immediately recognized the identity of the demon in front of them. The demon king who was supposed to sit obediently on the throne and wait for the brave to challenge him actually appeared here. They soon realized that this was not the King's Hall of the Royal Capital, and that no valiant knights and wolfwalkers would form a shield against the monsters of the abyss, and they were alone.

"Hehehe, why am I here?" the tall demon lord smirked ugly as he condescendingly looked at the mortals in front of him, "That's of course to give the wizard who struggled to climb in front of me a little reward." Don't worry, he won't outlive you, but before he dies, he must remember the fate of opposing the Great Erdo. ”

Mona protected Elsa behind her and drew her dagger to make a fighting stance, and the Frost Guard never sat still. The red fox gently pulled away his companion and looked up at the demon, "You want us? Okay, but this matter has nothing to do with the other people here, let them go." ”

Erdo's gaze swept over the others, pausing at the sight of Kolante and Peg, "Witches, witches again, and two at a time? ”

Kolanty quickly understood something from the demon's words, and she shook Peg's arm, "Quick, he's been summoned by Kouira! Let him dispel this idea!" According to Kolanty's logic, Peg is still nominally a subordinate to Kouira, and as a demon summoned by the latter, Erdo shouldn't be hostile to Peg. Even given the summoner's control over the demons, if Peg were to fake the tiger now, he might be able to make Erdu give up his original plan.

But Peg didn't. She bit her lip desperately, her face turned pale, and when she heard Colandy's words, the little witch smiled bitterly and turned her head to look at Colandy, who was also a witch, "Impossible." No matter how powerful Master Kuyla is, he can't control the lord-level demons. Besides, even if the summoner stops us, he will strike at us. ”

"Why?" it was Kelanti's turn to be puzzled, she could understand the first half of Peg's sentence, but she didn't know the meaning of the second half.

Peg's smile was even more forced, and she let go of her bitten lip and said, "Didn't your grandmother tell you? ”

The relationship between witches and demons is delicate. On the one hand, demons, as the best driving thugs and minions, have always been deeply loved by witches, they seem to have a certain affinity for these abyssal monsters, no matter what their talents, summoning demons is an ability they will inevitably master. But there is a price to be paid for doing so, if it is a powerful witch who drives the lower demons, it is fine, but if the witches want to summon demons with similar or even higher strength than them, they need more chips than satisfy the demons' unfillable desire to kill. And the most popular among the demons is to have witches give birth to their own offspring for them.

Don't think that this offspring is the same as the offspring of normal creatures, the demons from the abyss have no concept of reproduction, and naturally they don't need to train successors like mortals. The offspring of the devil is only a vessel for them. Unlike their parents, these demon sons are not rejected by the world because they were born into this world, and the fury of the bloodline will force them to indulge in destruction and death, and when they give in to their instincts, the demons will learn this from the abyss, and then they will be able to project their consciousness onto the offspring, completely replace them, and use the bodies of their offspring to enjoy the pleasure of killing in the world.

Not all creatures are qualified to give birth to demonic offspring, and demonic bloodlines prevent their offspring from gaining the power to grow from ordinary wombs. Among the many creatures in the world, only the bodies of witches born with magical powers can meet this condition. This is why making peace with the devil has almost become a label for witches, completely egoistic witches do not care about the miserable life of their offspring, they only know that they can get the help of the devil for only a small price. Of course, this is only limited to those witches who have the ability to protect themselves under the hands of demons, and if the difference in strength between witches and demons is too great, then the former is likely to be completely used as a tool, and will not stop being used until it is damaged.

"That's right. Hehe, looks like you guys can add some after-entertainment to my revenge. The Demon Lord smiled grimly, he had never let the two witches go. Even though Peg and Kolandi weren't witches, Erdo had no intention of keeping anyone on the team alive, and the desire to slaughter was the breath of every demon.

"Click!" Just as several people were overwhelmed by the demon's momentum, a stone slammed into Erdu's chest with a crisp sound. The man who threw it was Jerry, a brave teenager determined to give his life to buy his companion time to escape, just as he did to Peg in the ruins of the Molten Iron City.

"No!" Peg and Lynn shouted at the same time. In the next instant, the Demon Lord's huge body soared into the air, catching up with the rat man who wanted to flee in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed. "Die, you lowly maggot. Voices and shadows enveloped Jerry from above, and demons surged with fiery hooves with a force comparable to a battering ram.

"Poof!" came from the sound of piercing the flesh from under Erdo's feet, not the sound that the nezumi should have when they were crushed. Neither is the pain from the soles of the feet.

"Why are you still stunned, crawl quickly!" Elsa, the second only oldest member of the team to Jerry, pulled the stunned nezumi out from the Demon Lord's feet with a sliding shovel through the wooden spikes that lined up from the ground. The plants that were summoned by Kolanty also collapsed in the next second.

"How dare you, mortals!?" the enraged demon roared, and while the witch's attacks had done him little harm, the successive humiliations were too much for Erdo to accept.

"Why don't you dare? if Cheese can kill you once, we can kill you a second time. For the frost!" the female warrior let out a loud battle cry with her weapon in her hand, and slashed at the demon's shin without fear.
