"Hey, man, don't ...... like that" Facing the fifteen puppets summoned by Kane, Alan couldn't help but step back, although he didn't know what was happening, but from the approach of the dozen puppets, he still smelled a bit of danger.

With his hands spread out, Alan kept backing away, looked at the silent boy not far away in astonishment, and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Man, I'm Alan!"

"Stop, Kane!" the boy whispered.

"Yes, master!" the chess puppet and Kane nodded slightly, and then, the fifteen auras gradually dissipated, and at the same time, the fifteen summoned puppets also disappeared into the air.

"Hey, man, what's the joke, it's not funny at all - you don't even recognize me, do you?" Allen shrugged his shoulders with a grin, but then the smile on his face froze.

"Of course I know who you are," Jiang Zhe said lightly, then grabbed his hair, with a bit of laziness, and whispered, "So what?"

"......" Listening to the unusually unfamiliar tone, Alan was stunned and didn't react, watching the other party turn around and walk towards the other end of the library alone.

After a moment's hesitation, Lavia took a few steps forward and shouted, "Soth, where are you going?"

The boy's footsteps stopped slightly, and he didn't look back, and said in a relatively lazy tone, "Is it okay?"

"You!" Lavia's right hand clenched subconsciously as she clutched the wound, but the pain of the wound on her arm was far less than the pain in her heart.

"Soth, you're going too far!" Apparently, Lisa couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at the boy and said angrily, "Aren't we companions?

"Companion?" the boy turned his head, glanced at the crowd, and said lightly, "Maybe, but before!"

"Soth!" said Allen, who had always been cheerful and optimistic when he called his friend by his first name, but then looked at the boy with a bit of serious anger on his face, and said in a deep voice, "I can't believe that this sentence will come out of the mouth of my best friend - what the hell is wrong with you?"

But the boy only glanced at him faintly, and Gu Zi turned around and walked forward.

"Bastard, you stop me!" Alan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and rushed forward, but before he could get close to the boy in front of him, he suddenly felt a premonition.

Seeing a flash of black light, Alan was shocked to find that a deep ditch one yard wide appeared in front of him, and at a glance, it was pitch black and bottomless.

"You...... Are you trying to kill me?" Alan looked at his best friend in shock and anger.

"Just a warning!" Glancing at Allen, the boy whispered, "Don't keep up!" With that, he and Kane left the other side of the library.

Looking at the back of the boy leaving, Alan slammed his fist on the ground in annoyance, with a little imperceptible worry, and scolded hatefully, "This bastard, what's wrong!"

"Maybe it's because of the dark power in him," Scott said with a frown, carefully wiping his glasses with a silk handkerchief, "I sensed something was wrong, and after exerting that terrible power, Soth felt like a different person......

"He's not going to have an accident, Soth......" Lisa asked timidly, a little worried.

Scott shook his head, then put on his glasses and said calmly, "Probably not—as you can see his current power, he has a power far beyond that of the Lich...... Strange, can the demons in the abyss give such great power?"

"Of course not!" Reed said in a deep voice, "Maybe demons are terrible to you children, but in fact, ordinary demons don't have that much power, and of course, they can't give great power to the humans they trade with......"

"Naxos ......"

"I don't know," Reed shook his head and said with a frown, "After all, the humans who trade with demons are a minority, and the records on the data are not too complete, if you can know the name of the demon who traded with him, then you may be able to guess the rank of that demon...... Judging by his terrifying power that completely overwhelmed the lich, the other party should be an old demon...... Hmm, if only I could know the name......"

"Don't talk about him anymore!" Interrupting Reed heavily, Lavia said hatefully, "that bastard...... He can do whatever he likes, and I will ...... in the future ...... future" As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, her voice became stalked, she covered her mouth with her hands, and tears of grievance and sadness burst out of her eyes.

"Ivy ......" glanced at her friend who was crying silently, Lisa bit her lip and muttered in a low voice, "It's the first time I've seen Ivy cry so sadly......

"It's the second ......time," Lerella sighed faintly, then looked at the others and asked, "What do we do now?" or ...... before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Bernie.

"Let's get out of here first," Bernie said sincerely, looking at the children in front of him, "I'm sorry for the immeasurable bad luck I brought you, listen to me, children, let's get out of here first—no one can guarantee that there is only one lich here......"

"What about Tsoth?" asked Lisa, hesitantly.

Glancing at Lavia, who was subconsciously looking at him, Bernie pretended to be relaxed and said, "Hey, you have also seen that the power of that little ghost is so strong that the extremely terrifying lich for us is almost vulnerable in his hands, what else is there to worry about?"

Perhaps noticing Bernie's narrow eyes, Lavia's cheeks turned crimson and stammered, "Who...... Who would worry about that bastard!

"Hee-hee," Lisa whispered teased, "I'm most familiar with this sentence, and I used to hear my mom say that to my dad a lot......"

"Haha!"

"Lisa!" Lavia glared at Lisa in shame, and Lisa stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"What a little ghost is now...... Alas!" With a slight smile, Bernie shook his head helplessly, and then, as if he had found something, he looked around, and said inexplicably, "Hmm, what about the blue-haired girl?"

"Blue hair...... Sister Dia?" Lyrela subconsciously looked around, but didn't find Dia.

"Huh, who was there just now......

At the same time, Jiang Zhe was walking alone in the dimly lit passage, and behind him, followed by his chess puppet, King Kane.

As he walked, Jiang Zhe suddenly stopped, and said lightly in a somewhat lazy tone, "When are you going to follow?"

"Are you asking me?" a gentle voice came from behind Jiang Zhe.

Shaking his head as if in amusement, the boy turned around and said in a deep voice, "Do you think there's anyone else here?"

With a few small footsteps, Dia stepped out of the dimly lit passageway, looked at the boy and said softly, "No—I thought you wouldn't mind me following......"

Glancing at Dia faintly, the boy said succinctly, "Actually, I don't mind!"

"Okay, then I'll leave......" said Dia, and she turned away, much to the boy's incredulity.

"Wait!"

"Hmm?" Dia turned her head again, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a little doubt, "Is there anything else?"

Frowning at the girl in front of him, the boy thought for a moment and whispered, "Why are you following me?"

Dia blinked, chuckled, and said, "Haven't I always been like this......? Do you want to ......" At this point, her face was slightly hot, and she involuntarily lowered her head.

"Yes, I seem to have said ......it," the boy sighed with a smile, and the boy shook his head, looked deeply at Dia, who was looking down at his toes, and then said lightly, "But that was before, you go back!"

As if hearing the deep meaning of the boy's words, Dia's face turned white, she looked at the boy in disbelief, lowered her head, and said faintly, "I don't understand what you mean......"

"I mean ......," said the boy, his expression a little hesitant, and after a half-minute silence, he asked, "Why did you come along?" I remember I warned you!"

Bowing her head slightly, Dia bit her lip and said quietly, "I think I should come along...... Because you're the only one who said they needed me, and I don't hate it......"

"It's a complicated reason......"

"Yes," Dia chuckled, looking up and said softly, "So, I'll follow you until you drive me away, though I don't know why you've become like this......"

Glancing deeply at Dia, the boy was silent for a moment, and whispered, "Aren't you afraid?" as he spoke, raising his right hand, which burned with a black flame.

"Why be afraid?" looked at the boy suspiciously, and Dia, with a little cunning and mischievous, chuckled and asked, "Will you hurt me?"

"It's not ......"

"But I don't think so!" Shaking her head vigorously, Dia looked straight at the boy and said softly, "Maybe it's this dark force that has changed your surname, but I feel that in fact you haven't changed, your eyes are still so gentle, just a little more indifferent, a little more lonely, a little more sad......"

As he spoke, the walls of the passage collapsed with a thud, and a dark shadow flew upside down from the room inside the wall and slammed into the other side of the passage.

"Yikes!" Dia couldn't help but snort.

With only two clicks, the dark figure crawled out of a pile of broken stones, with a pale complexion, sharp teeth, pointed ears, and the familiar dress of the old nobles, apparently one of the vampires they had encountered before.

When he saw Dia standing in front of him, the vampire was stunned for a moment, and then, perhaps attracted by the fragrant virgin blood in Dia's body, the vampire unconsciously licked his lips with his tongue and pounced on his eyes with a glow.

But before the vampire's claws could touch Dia's body, his arm was grabbed by a hand, from a human-like child who looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old.

Glancing at the little boy who appeared beside him at some point, the vampire let out a furious roar, perhaps because he was injured, or perhaps because he was in dire need of fresh blood.

But to the vampire's surprise, no matter how much he struggled, the hand that grabbed him just didn't move, and this strange phenomenon made the vampire unacceptable for a while.

Indeed, in the eyes of that vampire, the owner of the hand holding his arm was only a human child of twelve or thirteen years old, not to mention a child of such an age, even if it was Chengren, it was impossible to surpass the vampire himself in terms of strength - even the lowest vampire had more strength than a human!

Out of confidence in his own strength, the vampire opened his fanged mouth and bit the neck of the little boy in front of him, however, he saw that the other party seemed to throw it casually, and he was smashed against the wall, and then, before he could react, a beam of light that was black on the outside and red on the inside pierced his heart...... "Stupid!"

Looking at the human child in amazement, his lips moved, and the vampire lowered his head to look at his chest, only to see that it was gradually covered with black silk-like reticulations, and then, his body gradually cracked, and in the cracks, a few traces of black light could be faintly seen...... "Bang!"

Like the lich Amos Hallewell, the vampire had turned into a pile of tiny black crystals in a matter of seconds.

Glancing at Dia, who was subconsciously patting her chest, the boy said lightly, "Are you scared?"

"Hmm!" Dia shook her head, squinting and smiling, "I'm scared, I didn't expect the walls here to collapse, I didn't expect a vampire-like monster to appear, but didn't you protect me?"

"Protecting ......"

"That's right," Dia said with a serious and gentle look looking at the boy in front of her, "although your eyes have become a little cold, you are still very gentle, I am curious, why did you leave, Alan, Scott, and Lavia, aren't they your best friends?"

"I just said ......it before," the boy sighed slightly, shook his head, and muttered, "I am different from you......"

"Why?" asked Dia curiously.

The boy didn't say anything more, just glanced at Dia faintly.

"Okay, I don't ask......"

"Are you angry?"

"No," Shaking her head, Dia said sincerely, "even if you want to be angry, it won't be for this ......"

"Why is that?"

I saw that Dia's face showed a little blush, lowered her head slightly, and said quietly, "If it's angry, it should be...... People finally make up their minds, but you ...... If that's the case, why did you ...... in the first place? Why do you say something like that......"

The boy was silent, he looked deeply at the girl in front of him, and hesitantly reached out his hand and gently stroked her delicate and smooth cheek.

After feeling the gentleness on her face, Dia couldn't help but feel shocked, her breathing couldn't help but be a little short, she raised her head slightly, and looked at the boy in front of her at a loss.

After about a minute, the boy was awakened by the sound of a fight, perhaps from inside the collapsed wall, only to see him withdraw his hand and whisper, "Come on......

"Hmm!" said Dia smiled softly.

Glancing deeply at Dia, the boy turned and walked through the wall into a room where a faint light came from a distance, and called out, "Kane!"

"Yes, master!" Kane nodded, as if he understood the meaning of his master's words, only to see him bow his head slightly to Dia, and said respectfully, "This place is not very safe - please don't leave me too far!"

"Well, okay!"

The trio made their way through the crumbling walls of the passage to another large room.

It seems that the underground of the castle is like a huge labyrinth, full of dark passages and more or less the same spacious rooms.

"Huh?" As if noticing something, Dia pointed ahead and whispered, "There seems to be someone ...... ahead."

In the distance in front of them, there was a faint blue light coming from time to time, sometimes strong, sometimes faint, and faintly the voices of some people.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhe and his puppet Kane stopped at the same time, because at some point, in the darkness around them, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared.

"Human ...... It's human!"

"Kill all human ......"

With a few faint footsteps, the owner of those pairs of eyes showed his body from the shadows, a wide black cloak, seemingly ancient clothing, as well as pale skin, sharp teeth, obviously the same kind that had attacked Dia just now, vampires!

Holding back the horror in her heart, Dia secretly looked around at the unkind guys, and she found that there were more than twenty vampires around the three of them, but strangely, these vampires seemed to be injured, and they could faintly smell blood from them.

Looking at the hateful-looking guys, Dia couldn't help but lean towards the boy.

As if faintly feeling the warmth coming from his side, the boy whispered, "Are you afraid?"

"Ah," Dia nodded, smiling reluctantly, "I never knew that there were vampires in the world, I thought it was just an ancient legend......" As she spoke, her lips moved slightly, as if she was chanting some incantation, but before he could pronounce the incantation, a boy's voice came from beside him.

"There's no need!" whispered, and the boy raised his right hand, only to see a violent dark aura hit like a storm, and all the vampires around him were trapped by the strange power of black silk.

......The vampires struggled desperately, but still couldn't escape the fate of being bound by the dark forces.

The boy's right hand gradually clenched, and then, the dark power that bound the vampires also contracted at the same time, and the vampires who felt the pain struggled desperately, but could not break free of the powerful force in their bodies.

"Poof!"

The dozen or so vampires completely disappeared into the darkness, and even their own existence was wiped out.

"......" Dia, who was quietly watching this scene, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and then, she heard the voice from the boy.

"Is it cruel?"

"No, the other party is an evil vampire, an enemy who wants to attack us," shaking her head, Dia said calmly and sincerely, "I'm just surprised at your strength, you are already very strong, and now you ......" said this, her face showed a little melancholy, she sighed faintly, and said in a low voice, "You have such a strong power, maybe I can't help you with anything......"

"Great power...... Don't you think this force is too evil?"

"Will you?" said Dia with a wink and a smile, "I've always felt that it's not the power that's evil, it's the people who wield it—even if it's super power, you haven't changed because of it, have you?"

"No, you're wrong, it's just that you didn't realize it......"

Actually, I also feel very strange, Soth, you seem to have suddenly matured so much, so mature that I don't even know me, and from your eyes I see loneliness, indifference, and sadness...... Why is this happening? Can you tell me?"

"Sad......" The boy was stunned, looking down in thought, and suddenly, he covered his forehead, and a painful look appeared on his face.

"Soth?!"

"It's okay," shook his head, the boy took a slight breath, nodded his forehead with his finger, frowned, and said, "I don't know what's going on, but once I think back to the past, there is a tingling ...... here."

"Huh, how could it ......?"

"It should be a seal......" Glancing at the six-pointed star magic array on the back of his left hand, the boy frowned and said, "I can feel that some of my memory is missing, but I just can't remember - the person who left me this seal seems to have also sealed some of my surnames, if you can, I really want to meet this person!"

"Even with some surnames sealed?" As if thinking of something, Dia looked at the boy in surprise and said, "So ......"

"Yes," the boy said lightly, glancing at Dia, "it's not as you might think, my surname hasn't changed, on the contrary, it's who I really am!"

"Whew," said Dia with a slight exhale, "Looks like you have a lot of secrets, Soth!"

"Do you want to ask?"

"No," Shaking her head, Dia said lightly, "when a man wants to hide the secret of his heart, a wise woman will never ask, she will wait, and when the time is right, the man will tell it himself...... That's what my mother told me!"

"Oh?"

With her hands behind her back and twisted together, Dia whispered, "My mother is a very gentle woman, but it's a pity that ......" she said, she sighed, shook her head, and said bitterly, "For as long as I can remember, my father was a stubborn and irascible person, although he was also very good, but he also had many shortcomings, and I often felt unworthy for my mother...... I have always felt that my mother is a very gentle woman who embraces everything, whether it is my father who is not good to her or me who has committed unforgivable mistakes...... I tried to compensate as much as I could, but ...... The last time I went home, all the shackles and bonds were broken in an instant, but I couldn't relax, and all my efforts came to naught......"

"Is it about the dream of becoming a royal magician?"

"So you remember!" Dia looked at the boy with a bit of complaint, then smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "yes, I'm not interested in magic myself, I just want to make my mother live a good life in place of my brother...... The treatment of royal magicians is very generous, but there is no need for it now...... What about you?

"Ideals or something, I've never ......"

"yes, how could it be?" said Dia, looking at the boy in surprise and surprise, "There's nothing you want to do, there's no place you want to go?"

"Maybe there were, but I can't remember it now......" said the boy, gesturing to his forehead.

"Giggle......" Dia couldn't help but laugh, which made the boy feel a little strange, and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I just think that whether it is Soth, who I was familiar with before, or you now, in fact, it hasn't changed much, you still look lazy and lazy, I heard from Lavia's mouth, you didn't have any lofty ideals and ambitions from the beginning...... It's just that you don't like to talk anymore, and you're a little more mature, so I can't treat you as a junior who is two years lower than me!"

"Oh, did you think of me as a junior?"

"Of course not......" Biting her lip, Dia's fair face showed a bit of redness, and she lowered her head and said quietly, "It's just before, now...... Who called you then......" The more she got to the end, the lower her voice became.

"Is it ......" Looking at Di Ya with a shy face, I don't know that out of such feelings, Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, the indifference in his eyes was slightly resolved, and among several people, he may only be a little different from Dia.

"You...... Fifteen, right?"

"Yes, yes...... nodded subconsciously, Diya suddenly thought of something, pretended to be annoyed and glared at the boy, and complained, "What kind of tone are you, obviously two years younger than me!"

"Oh, yes!" the boy smiled slightly.

Looking straight into the boy's eyes and the smile on his face, Dia's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she whispered, "Actually, it's still so gentle...... I'll wait, as my mother said...... When the time is right, you'll tell me everything, right?"

The boy was stunned, looked at the expectation in Dia's eyes, grabbed his hair, and said lightly in a somewhat lazy tone, "Maybe!"

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the whole room shook violently, and the hard rock on the ceiling seemed to have fallen some small rubble because of the tremor.

"How...... What's going on?" said Dia, startled by the sudden turn of events, with some surprise.

I saw the boy glance into the distance, frowned and said, "It's caused by the collision of four powerful forces......"

"Yay?" Dia's beautiful face showed a hint of surprise, and she asked curiously, "Is there anyone else here besides us?" Do you want to go, Soth?"

The boy shook his head slightly, and said lightly, "I'm just looking for a way out!"

"Huh?" Dia couldn't help but be even more surprised, and asked suspiciously, "If it's the way out, why don't you leave the same way with Eren and them?" she said, as if she saw the boy's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Okay, you don't want to stay with them, right? For a reason I don't know......" After speaking, she raised her head slightly, staring at the strange black flames on the boy's body, thinking in her heart.

As if to see Dia's thoughts, the boy said lightly, "Don't speculate, these black flames are just the product of the combination of dark power and fire element, and there is no power that will disturb people's hearts at all, if you want to say the reason...... It's just that I don't want to stay with them right now, that's all!"

"Oh," Dia nodded obediently, then looked up, looked at the boy secretly, and said gently, "if you want to go over and see what is going on, then go - I'll be after you, all ......the time."

Glancing deeply at Dia, the boy nodded, as if to explain, and said, "There's someone I'm familiar with, and I want to see it!"

"Hmm!"

As he spoke, the three of them walked towards the distance where bursts of light came from, and as they approached, the sound of fighting in the distance gradually became clear, until even their eyes could see it.

The chaos here is beyond words, the smell of blood fills the air, and the forces of darkness and death are intertwined, like two ferocious beasts biting each other.

Streams of black and beige energy burst through the air, occasionally flashing a few dark blue arcs of lightning, as well as countless frost, flames, wind blades, and white bones, and the furious energy filled the entire battlefield.

At a glance, the most conspicuous ones were none other than the lichs that Jiang Zhe and the others had already encountered, and there were three of them, they were floating in the air, constantly casting one terrible magic after another, as if they needed to consume magic power at all.

But looking at the appearance of these lichs, it does not seem to be optimistic, the ribs on the chest of the middle lich are missing more than half, the lich on the left has lost a right arm, and the only one intact, the dark green flame burning in the eye socket is very weakly shining, and it seems that he has also been extremely traumatized.

In addition to the lich, there are hundreds of vampires that Jiang Zhe and they have encountered, in the underground of this castle, there are similar ancient and bloodthirsty dark beings everywhere, they screamed, roared, as if crazy rushed towards their enemies, but unfortunately, their enemies seem to be too powerful, the vampires who made ordinary humans infinitely frightened in the past can only act as cannon fodder here, only to see a black shadow rushing towards the center of the battle arena, but within two or three seconds, they were sent out by countless black tentacle-like dark energy, and those who are lucky may be able to hit the wall, barely surviving, and those who are unlucky, directly split into countless pieces of flesh by those dark tentacles that swing in overdrive.

Who are their opponents? three lichs who can't even handle hundreds of vampires?

"Huh, alone?" Dia muttered with a heart full of surprise.

Yes, whether it is the lich or these vampires, their opponent is just a man, an ordinary-looking human, he wears a familiar long black coat, and his body is full of dark power, and his condition is not optimistic, his right forehead seems to have been blown by something, and it is terrible, and the bright blood keeps flowing down his cheeks.

In addition to his forehead, he was covered with wounds, and even his old coat had become tattered, and the blood that flowed from these wounds stained not only his coat red, but also the ground beneath his feet.

However, even in such a critical and dangerous situation, he still had a somewhat habitual playful smile on his face, as if he was laughing at his opponent, such a crazy guy, in Jiang Zhe's memory, there is only one!

"Argus!"

"Hmm?" Perhaps hearing Jiang Zhe's voice, the man surrounded by countless dark creatures turned his head, glanced at Jiang Zhe and Dia beside him, whistled, and said jokingly, "Yo! Little ghost, this is not a good place for a tryst!"

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw something incredible, and then said with a smile, "Hey, no wonder I always have some inexplicable affection for you little ghost - it turns out that we are the same kind of people!"

Frowning, Jiang Zhe said indifferently, "Give me less self-righteous classification, Argus!"

"Huh?" Argus was slightly stunned, even he felt that the little boy in front of him was a little strange, in his memory, although the boy in front of him looked a little indifferent, but in fact he was a very interesting little ghost, with many similarities with himself, as if he had been himself for more than ten years.

But at this moment, Argus can no longer treat the other party as an ordinary funny imp, not only because of the terrible dark power in the other party, which is no less than his own, but also because of the tone of his voice.

Kind and indifferent, Argus never imagined that he would meet a person whose surname was so similar to his own, ideals and pursuits, and the two had a striking similarity.

The battle seemed to stop for a while, after all, Argus's opponent was the great lich Craig Hadlor, and he was a brilliant and famous necromancer in front of him, even if he was also a lich, it was definitely not comparable to Amos Hallewell, who was killed by Jiang Zhe in seconds.

The Great Lich Craig Hadlorre couldn't help but be a little depressed, because in the past era, the Lich was synonymous with fear, and any werewolf or vampire could not be compared to the Lich, but after sleeping for a hundred years, not to mention that the powerful self could not even kill a single human, even with the help of two compatriots and many vampire servants, he could not kill the hateful human in front of him......? But it can only have a slight upper hand...... What's even worse is that just when that damn human being was about to be killed, another human imp appeared, and the terrible thing is that this sudden human imp also contained an unfathomable dark power in his body...... It's already so difficult to deal with one, if you add another ...... The Grand Lich Craig Hadlore frowned as he pondered what to do, and the battle stopped for a moment, and Argus was given a hard-earned respite.

"Incredible......" Looking at Jiang Zhe deeply, feeling the dark aura from his body, Argus wiped the blood flowing into his eyes with the back of his hand, and said with a bit of teasing, "I thought it was an ordinary dark power, but I didn't expect it...... Hey, little ghost, are you going to stand here and watch me get knocked to the ground by them?"

"Well, that's a good idea!"

"Hey," Argus couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and when would it be the turn of others to make fun of himself, but for various reasons, he didn't have the slightest annoyance, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Aren't we friends......?" Okay, okay, I owe you a favor, so it's okay, right?"

As soon as Argus finished speaking, before Jiang Zhe could speak, the great lich Craig Hadlore suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Jiang Zhe and said in a deep voice, "Human child, are you sure you want to be the enemy of the powerful lich? I can promise to let you out of here safely, I promise you will not be harmed in any way, as long as you don't come here again to disturb our sleep - I just want to kill this damn fellow!"

In response to the words of the great lich Craig Hadlorre, Argus grinned and said, "Can you be trusted with the Lich's assurances, if I'm right, you must have met a lich - was he killed by you?"

Before Jiang Zhe could speak, the Great Lich Craig Hadlorre concentrated on feeling the presence of his companion, and then said in shock, "Amos...... I can't sense Amos's presence anymore, and you killed him?"

Feeling the faint killing intent from the three lichs, Jiang Zhe grabbed his hair and said lazily, "It seems that there is such a guy—are you sure you will let us leave?"

Holding back his anger and staring at Jiang Zhe for a while, the Great Lich Craig Hadlorre said viciously, "Okay, I'll let you leave safely, right now...... Turn away now, get away from this castle, and never come back here!"

"Oh, hey, what a ruthless fellow," Argus said helplessly, spreading his hands, "it seems that my plans have been shattered!" said him, the smile on his face gradually retracted, and he looked at the three lichs and said in a deep voice, "If you want to go, you will have to leave now, and if you wait until I fall, you will not be able to leave if you want to—if you are lucky, maybe we will meet again in the future!"

Frowning, Jiang Zhe said in a low voice, "Are you threatening me?"

"How is that possible!" Argus smiled and shook his fingers, and said lightly, "I appreciate your ......" he said, he glanced at Dia beside Jiang Zhe, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Indeed, you should choose to leave - rest assured, I can't die - as long as I Argus doesn't want to die, no one can kill me!"

"It's really conceited...... Jiang Zhe sneered lightly, then turned his head to look at Dia, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Don't you want to say something?"

Dia shook her head, smiled and said gently, "I've been so assertive since I was a kid - be careful, Soth!"

Glancing at Dia deeply, Jiang Zhe said in a low voice, "Kane, stand back!"

"Yes, master!" As if understanding the meaning of Jiang Zhe's words, Kane patted Dia on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him.

"Huh?" said Argus, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Yo! little ghost, you seem to have a good impression of me!"

"Bear!" The black flames on Jiang Zhe's body burned even more vigorously, and he didn't care about the vampires around him, and walked straight to Argus, and said lightly, "I'm less proud, I'm just afraid that you don't have the strength to delay time for us now!"

"Yes!" Argus said with a playful smile and a shrug, "but anyway, I appreciate you more and more......" said as if he had taken something out of his pocket with his right hand, and then gently threw it at Jiang Zhe.

"Next!"

Jiang Zhe subconsciously took it, and when he opened his hand, it was a shiny silver coin, which made Jiang Zhe feel inexplicable.

As if seeing the confusion in Jiang Zhe's eyes, Argus whispered, "Just exchange half of my wealth for this favor - keep it for me, if you accidentally lose it, I won't spare you!"

"Half the wealth, just such a silver coin?" Jiang Zhe's expression was indescribably strange.

"Ahh......h More important than my life!

"Such a troublesome thing......"

Jiang Xin glanced at Argus suspiciously, and Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered that when he first met this guy near Asher Village, he took the two silver coins with him, looking down, and was hunted down by Father Andrew and other priests and Holy Inquisitors of the Holy See, although he joked and wanted to exchange the two silver coins for bread, but in the end, he ...... He still didn't choose to swap ...... Well, it should be said that those little girls at that time were a little unbearable, and they took the initiative to give him the bread that was used as dry food...... This bastard is really good at winning the sympathy of others, I don't know if he has deceived many people in the same way...... Tut!

"Such a troublesome thing...... I don't care if it's gone!"

"Hey—you might as well try it!"

Looking at the two chatting without anyone else, the anger accumulated in the heart of the great lich Craig Hadlore became stronger and stronger, and he finally couldn't help it, pointing at Jiang Zhe and saying hatefully, "Human imp, I have pardoned you for your exile of Amos, and promised to let you leave here safely...... Do you really want to be an enemy of the great lich?"

"Huh?" Glancing at Hadlores with a languid look, the boy said lazily, "I hate being seen as a child who doesn't know anything - do you think I'm really going to believe you? You're really going to let me go of killing one of your compatriots? All you want is to deal with that guy first, and then deal with me, right? The passage here is so complicated, if that guy doesn't last long, I think we'll be killed by you before we get out, right?"

The Great Lich of "......" Craig Hadlores was dumbfounded, perhaps right, and after a moment of silence, his empty eyes jumped with a hateful green soul.

"Damn! Damn! You guys are going to die, all humans are going to die here! In the name of my Craig Hadlor, I'm going to let you die in the most brutal way possible, even your souls can't be freed, never again!"

"Yo!" pouting, Argus hooked his fingers and teased, "you can try—I suppose I should break all the bones on the other side of you—and I'm curious if you'll be alive if you break all the bones in your body...... Hey, the revenant should go where the revenant should be!" he took a deep breath, and then, the dark power on his body skyrocketed, and the phantom of a two-headed monster bird was clearer than ever, enveloping him.

At the same time, the dark power in Jiang Zhe's body also gushed out majestically, forming the phantom of a seemingly silent but violent bear.

When the phantom of the two-headed monster bird and the shadow of the dark bear opened their pale red eyes, the entire room was swallowed up by the endless darkness, light, sound, everything, swallowed up by the merciless darkness.

This powerful oppressive force shocked even the lichs, and inexplicably, a feeling of powerlessness welled up in their hearts...... Although they looked down on each other condescendingly, the lichs felt their own insignificance instead, as if they were looking up at each other...... Can give the Lich this illusion...... It's not a god, it's a demon!

It's the Great Devil!
