21. Shadow of the Devil

"Woo, husband"

Listening to the delicate voice of Ingrid in front of him, Fisher had no intention of enjoying it at all. Rafael and Jasmine were close to exploding beside him, and he was even more like a man, eager to throw the guy in front of him into the sea.

What happened in just a few seconds was sudden and fast, and the first thing he thought of was that this guy had already given up his life for the sake of the so-called news, and he wanted to do such a thing to take his own life, but it was not right when he thought about it carefully.

If she was still just an intern reporter at the Serpent Newspaper, and she came here for the so-called news, then where did she get a shipload full of gold and silver treasures? These things don't look like what a trainee journalist should have.

Thinking of this, Fisher gritted his teeth, suddenly reached out and clasped her shoulder, carefully controlling his strength, trying not to damage the human girl in front of him who was only of the zero rank, and pushing it away from him little by little, he looked at Ingrid in front of him in a calm voice, looked at Ingrid in front of him seriously, and said,

"Are you crazy?"

Fisher didn't know how big the gap between the mythical rank and ordinary humans was, and only the occasional sudden experience of human fragility could describe this almost heaven and earth gap.

When Ingrid ran towards her just now, Fisher almost subconsciously raised her hand to slap her away, but if she did so, she would most likely be directly popular, and life and death could not be guaranteed.

And now even more so, as soon as Fisher looked down and asked, he immediately felt Ingrid tremble in front of him, and in Fisher's scrutiny, the cold hair on her body stood up completely, just like when she was by her side, she could instinctively feel the gap with the mythical species, and resist contact and approach Fisher like a survival.

But why does she have to do it now?

Fisher couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this, and looked at Ingrid in front of him to know the answer, but saw that she was frightened, and put on that delicate expression, and said in tears,

"Husband, how. What's wrong? ”

"You share it with us"

"Husband, don't say it, don't say it, okay, I'll be obedient after that, so please don't leave me again, okay?"

But just as Fisher wanted to ask, Ingrid in front of her turned pale, and then glanced at Fisher like a pleading.

She was still getting closer and closer to Fisher, but she seemed to be revealing her neck, hidden under the veil of a lady's hat on top of her head.

Fisher glanced down, only to see an eerie circular symbol faintly flashing above her neck. There was a sense of mystery in the symbol, but the moment he saw it, Fisher seemed to see a pillar of fire rising into the sky at the same time, and then from the pillar of fire flew straight out a glittering bow and arrow until his vision was full.

"Boom!"

The arrow didn't do any damage, but like a whisper, it abruptly brought a name to Fisher's mind

"Barbatos"

It was as if the name appeared directly in front of his own soul, and was not observed and looked at by the others around him.

But this is not the most important thing, the key is that when the mark appeared in front of him, in the vision of Fisher's soul, he suddenly realized that there was an additional mark on his chest that was very similar to the mark on the back of Ingrid's neck.

It's just that unlike her imprint, the imprint on Fisher's chest seems to be darker in color and more vivid in symbols, I don't know if the meaning is different. In addition, the mark on his chest seems to have undergone a rough alteration.

The same darker, vivid symbol under the current imprint was directly erased, and the new imprint stood generously on the erased wreckage, with a strong chaotic aura to show its existence, which was also a name,

"Bymun"

Fisher's heart sank, and in just a second of this real time, he seemed to be aware of many secrets that had never been discovered by outsiders.

Bymon?

Heller?

When did she leave her mark on herself?

Was it in the Sanctuary or was it sometime in the past?

And why did you leave a mark on your body?

Without looking into this question for a moment, just by seeing the mark on the back of Ingrid's neck, Fisher roughly knew that it was the archdemon Barbatos who grabbed the intern reporter Ingrid in front of him.

In other words, she lied that she was her wife for four years and entered the Dragon Court because of the demons who taught her, and of course she as a human being, could not resist, only to obey this path.

But on the other hand, since Barbatos knew that she could cause trouble by letting her lie that it was her wife, it showed that they had a certain level of understanding of their situation.

And why they would pay attention to themselves in advance, Fisher felt that there was no logic, only Helaire, who had an affair with him thousands of years ago, could pay attention to herself, and it just so happened that she was not a demon and could escape the captivity of the mother goddess

Could it be that all of this, including the fact that Nari's army is now infiltrated by demons, and the current troubles, is actually the work of Helle?

Thinking of Emhart's warning, no matter how good his feelings were for Hellaire, he couldn't help but consider this possibility.

In the next second, he didn't speak again, but gently let go of the hand that grabbed Ingrid, and let her body retreat a few steps softly, and was quickly supported by the two maids who followed behind her.

"Uncle, how can you treat Miss like this, no matter how you say that she is also your wife, you can just mess around with these indiscriminate Asians outside, at least you have to go home and report a letter, right? Let Miss chase all the way here, we can't persuade it, this is really"

Behind her, the originally expressionless maid suddenly came to life, patting Ingrid's frightened back while complaining to Fisher.

But seeing that she gently hugged Ingrid's back, the moment she made contact with Ingrid, Fisher immediately felt Ingrid's body soften, and then, Ingrid's face became ruddy, and the fear and pleading for Fisher just now completely disappeared, and turned into an illusory sense of drunken dreams and death, and her coerced performance became more realistic.

"Woo. Woo."

Fisher's eyes narrowed slightly, he had been with Elliog, and of course he knew what had happened to the maid when he came into contact with Ingrid.

She's sucking out Ingrid's depraved nature!

These two maids are also demons. No, it should be a demon acolyte.

"No three, no four? Wife? ”

Hearing the maid's words, Rafael sneered, and a blood-colored spear popped out of his hand, and in just an instant, the temperature in the entire tent rose several degrees, making the expressions of the two maids change slightly,

"Don't you forget whose land you are in now, are you looking for death?"

"Wait, Rafael, I always think. Something is wrong. Moreover, Mr. Fisher is obviously not married to you yet, how can he marry other women? ”

Jasmine pursed her lips as well, so persuaded.

Fisher's body stiffened slightly, and Valentina's figure unconsciously emerged from the bottom of his heart, but on his face, he didn't answer this with a strong desire to survive.

In fact, Jasmine always had an inexplicable feeling about Ingrid in front of her, and felt that the relationship between her and Fisher was not so close.

She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very observant and delicate, but her thoughts are not easy to show in ordinary times.

Jasmine is also not as prone to anger as Rafael, and even when emotions are up, she remains calm.

Of course, she knew what it would be like for Fisher to be in a relationship with a lady.

I still remember when I was in Saint-Nari before, even Elizabeth, a woman who had broken up with Teacher Fisher for so long, the atmosphere between them was still ambiguous, mixed with the tacit understanding between each other, not to mention women like Renee and Rafael

But the Ingrid in front of her, except for the words, nowhere did she seem to feel like that with Fisher.

Before the other party came, she thought that it would be such a powerful enemy that she and Rafael were ready to fight.

But now that I look at it, that's it?

Hearing Jasmine's words of persuasion, Rafael's frown calmed slightly, and she also realized that something was wrong, but she was not as sure as Jasmine, so she had to look at Fisher next to her, wanting to know his reaction.

When she saw that he had a serious face, and there was no panic, weakness or even contradictory feelings at all, a stone in her heart was instantly put down.

It seems that it's really not his wife, he is not married yet, and his wife's position belongs to him

The corners of her mouth were about to curl up a little, but the shadow of Jasmine around her lingered, which made her mood quickly fall again, and she had to pay attention to the "Fisher wife" in front of her.

Hearing Jasmine's question, the maid in front of her sneered and asked,

"My uncle and our young lady are in free love, if you don't marry the young lady, will you marry you? He has been with our young lady for the past four years, has he been seen elsewhere? Right, miss? ”

"Woo."

Ingrid nodded immediately, pitifully weakly daring to make any more moves.

Fisher, on the other hand, raised his hand, interrupted Rafael's next words, and asked Ingrid,

"So, you're here for."

"Of course, it's so that my uncle and us can go home and stop staying here in Longting."

"Woo!"

The maid spoke, and Ingrid nodded.

In other words, Barbatos or the demon species behind him didn't want to get involved in it?

Ingrid was the one who entered the factory with him at that time, and the mythical rank that stopped him from leaving should be the demon duke Barbatos, so he followed the vine and used Ingrid to tell himself, don't help the Red Dragon Court?

But Rafael and Jasmine were here, how could he give up.

What's more, Saint-Nari is her own homeland, and the Empress Elizabeth there is also related to her, and now that her army has been infiltrated like this, it is difficult to imagine the purpose of the demons and her current situation.

"What if I say no?"

"Ah, if my uncle insists on this, we will too."

Seeing that they were about to continue, Fisher looked at Ingrid, who was in their arms, interrupted them, and asked bluntly,

"Which one?"

"Woo."

Ingrid was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized something, her eyes shrank, and then her eyes even raised her head upwards, pointing to the "maid" behind her,

"Woooooo

Fisher's eyes froze, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone present, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the spear in Rafael's hand next to her, she was slightly stunned, but Fisher, who looked at the cold face, also immediately let go of the spear, so that it still retains its form.

"Aunt"

When Fisher held the spear, the "maid" seemed to realize that something was wrong, and was about to speak, but the crimson spear in front of her was already like a rainbow with a violent explosion sound.

"Yikes!!"

Ingrid's ruddy face turned pale in an instant, and she closed her eyes in fright, feeling the air and wind around her condense and smash against her, as if Fisher were going to send her back to hell with a single shot.

As a human, she could only scream and scream simply and helplessly!

But after all, it wasn't her that shot aimed at her, but the demon behind her.

The next second Fisher threw the spear, the maid confronted the spear with the power of the Mythical Rank, and the spear pierced through her skull, connecting her to Ingrid's hand. No, it should be a tentacle that looks like an arrow to disconnect.

"Boom!"

The entire tent was thrown out, and the headless body of the maid shook twice and fell to the ground. From under her maid's suit, wisps of blood scorched like lava.

Seeing this, another maid also wagged and stretched out with a slender and terrifying tail behind her, her face was hideous, and a pair of goat-like horns on her head slowly grew out.

"How dare you refuse the Duke's wishes! You."

Rafael frowned, and with a gesture of her hand, the red spear that flew out flew back in an instant, shattering her skull before flying back into her own hand.

Looking at the two headless inhuman corpses, Rafael couldn't help but wonder,

"This is also a demon species? Why does it feel so weak? It's a world away from the previous Barbatos."

Jasmine also shook her head, if Master Ramastia was by her side, she might still know the answer, but unfortunately she left her side four and a half years ago, I don't know if she went back to the bottom of the sea to deal with something urgent, he has not come back in the past few years, everything can only be handled by Jasmine herself.

Ingrid, on the other hand, fell to the ground with a weak body, her body was about to be soaked in cold sweat, she clutched her chest and kept gasping, sighing like a catastrophe for the favor of Lady Luck,

"Mother Goddess. Mother Goddess bless me. I'm still alive."

Ingrid knelt on the ground with a sad face, and Fisher hurriedly stepped forward, without physical contact with her, only turned back to Rafael and introduced them,

"This is Ingrid, a reporter from Swally, who was my guide for a while before I came to the Red Dragon Court. We entered a factory in Nari that made weapons of war, and we didn't expect to be targeted by that Barbatos."

"That's it."

Rafael stepped forward and looked at the human in front of him like a little chicken, and soon lost interest, just looking at the Longting soldiers who were coming in the distance, and had a headache.

Jasmine next to her was careful, she looked at the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry scattered in the tent, and couldn't help but ask Fisher,

"However, if it was just the puppet court who sent someone to deliver the message, why did you send so many jewels here?"

It was this sentence that suddenly woke up Ingrid, who had not yet recovered from her senses.

Her pupils shrank, and then she quickly raised her head and said to Fisher,

"Fisher, there's a weird guy in that boat, who was originally with these two, but. . . But I was killed by the two of them, and I smeared her flesh and blood on those things, I. I don't know for what, but."

"Buzz!"

The next moment, Ingrid's words came to an abrupt halt, as a circular symbol lit up behind her neck.

Behind her, the body of the originally headless maid also "clicked" and squirmed again, but she saw a face made of flesh and blood suddenly grow on the demon's corpse, and the face was hideous, and she couldn't even see a specific expression, she could only see that the jagged mouthparts were constantly spitting out dirty words,

"Oh, Auntie, we have the blessing of the Duke of Agares. Since you have rejected the Duke's offer, then we have no choice but to leave the young lady and the treasure here."

"Babble!"

As her words fell, a large bird like an eagle and a crow circled in the sky, but it did not come down, but threw down something as small as it could not be smaller.

Fisher looked up, only to see that it was a severed finger.

"Fisher! Fisher! Get the others out of the way!! ”

At this moment, when Fisher was confused, behind him, even faster than the group of dragon court soldiers arrived, was a square, constantly rotating book, and it was Emhardt, who seemed to be moving faster than he was, so he took such a comical hurry.

"They're summoning demon gods, hurry up and get the others out of the way!"

Fisher turned his head, only to see that as the finger fell, Ingrid, the two headless demon corpses, and the treasure began to glow with an extremely bloody glow.

Even the ground along the coast began to tremble, as if something was pounding against the ground and trying to break through the ground, so hot and restless.

Obviously they didn't know what it was, but Fisher and everyone present had the appearance of a pillar of fire in their minds for no reason, or rather, they were very sure that it was a pillar of fire that was hitting the ground below, or a being?

Before Emhardt could fly, Fisher looked at Ingrid, who was wailing in pain, and behind her, the hot mark had pierced into her skin like a soldering iron, as casually as a god's tribute.

"Rafael, go stop your soldiers from coming, I'll stop this."

"Fisher!"

Jasmine tried to move her steps, but found that the treasure around her had slowly "melted" into a pool of blood, and the familiar thing suddenly awakened the memories of the suffering she was unwilling to face.

In the underbelly of Lake Nari, the hysterical Blake with the wooden rhino on his chest

No.

Why is it so similar

Jasmine's little face turned pale and froze in place.

Rafael also noticed the stiff sister beside her, she gritted her teeth and glanced back at Fisher, who was running towards Ingrid, and could only drag Jasmine away first.

She could sense the gap in the power of the Mythical Rank, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to trouble Fisher.

The entire Red Dragon Court was aware of the vision of this place at this moment, but only the soldiers who were rushing in could really face the chilling feeling.

Remhardt flew out of the spreading sea of blood, then landed on Fisher's shoulder, and looked with him at the completely blood-red mark on the back of Ingrid's neck.

"Fisher! It's the devil's marker, and it's completely embedded! Unless "

"Unless it can be removed from the soul."

"Can you do it, this soul technique is not well understood even by the saints and the group of elves, and in the past, it was the demon them."

"No, I can do it."

Fisher took a deep breath and looked at his hands, not because he had read the "Soul Completion Manual" because he had read it for nothing.

Although he had never wanted to use its knowledge, for he knew it would lead to madness, he had to do it now, and he would have to read the book anyway, in order to protect Rafael and the others

He simply didn't do anything, and it would be better to start familiarizing himself with the knowledge recorded above from now on?

He didn't know, because standing in the sea of blood, he moved faster than his thoughts.

The whispering voice in his ears, which had been suppressed by him, was like water immersed in the ears of a drowning man at this moment, and his body shape was also distorted, and the human form he had previously maintained was more like his subjective hobby, but at this moment, in the use of chaotic soul power, he was inevitably unable to maintain a decent appearance.

Standing on his shoulders, Emhardt felt the flesh and soul flowing like waves in Fisher's body, and what was even more terrifying was his illusory hand, which seemed to be covered with countless mouths.

"Fisher, are you going to eat her soul?!"

"Shut up, I'll just eat that mark on her soul!"

Fisher gritted his teeth, enduring the fatal temptation of the transferee named "Caleb Uzi" next to him, and he rigidly controlled his hand or the soul that became one with it, and strangely engulfed the mark attached to Ingrid's soul.

"Boom!"

The sea of blood gushing out of the ground in the distance stagnated for a moment, and Rafael and Jasmine, who were retreating backwards, were stunned to look at the vision behind them that was gradually quieting down, and the intact Ingrid and Fisher in it, and couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts,

"Fisher!"

It was this joy that Rafael, who was worried about his sweetheart at the moment, did not notice that the spear in his hand and even the depths of his soul suddenly produced a tremble at the man named "Fisher".
