Three days ago, outside the demon lair.

Pedro pushed open the stone door and stepped into the tombstone-like building, revealing a stone staircase that descended in front of him as the light on the wall lit up.

At this time, he looked tired and dragged heavy steps, but what he really felt tired was not physical, but mental.

For the first time, he felt frustrated, and when he was besieged and killed five hundred years ago, he looked down on the humans at all, thinking that they had defeated him by numbers, and that they were simply invincible.

But now, there are not many human beings, and he tried his best to kill only two people, and when he wanted to use a special move to determine the victory in an instant, he was interrupted by a knight who appeared out of nowhere.

This is nothing, the point is that this knight has a strange long sword, which can actually pierce the god-level armor that he is proud of, and finally forced him to stop.

This incident not only scared him into a cold sweat, but also shocked his arrogant heart.

Not to mention what the demons will think of him after learning about this, even if he is not held accountable, he himself will not be able to forgive himself.

"Hmm......"

At this time, the huge amount of magic that he had struggled to compress was still surging in his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.

With this humiliation on the battlefield, Pedro couldn't help but feel like he wanted to die, so that he would no longer have to suffer mental pain, but as a dark knight, the faith of allegiance to the demon king still prevailed over the unbearable humiliation.

Pedro concentrated to suppress the discomfort in his body, and then he took off his helmet and threw it on the stairs, the fresh air pouring into his nostrils finally made him feel better.

With the help of the light source on the wall, his face under the helmet can be seen, which is a face that belongs to the vicissitudes of a man in his forties.

With short black hair, a slightly frowning brow showing fierceness, his eyes were full of exhaustion, but he could still vaguely see the lion-like eyes, the bridge of his nose was high, and there was a circle of stubble on the side of his mouth, which looked quite temperamental.

If he appeared in the human world, ordinary people would not be able to see that he was a monster at all, and his heroic face would be favored by some noble ladies.

After a few minutes of walking, Pedro finally reached the lowest level of the lair, an empty room with eight stone pillars erected and five sarcophagi arranged in a cross shape near the wall.

A few months ago, Pedro had awakened from one of the sarcophagi, and before him, two sarcophagi had been opened, and it was obvious that one of his colleagues had awakened earlier than him, as well as the leader of the demon race, the Demon King.

However, Pedro had no clue where they were, and the Awakened Demon Lord and another Dark Knight left no clues.

With Pedro's understanding of the Demon King, if he wanted to declare war on the humans immediately, he would definitely gather all the Dark Knights and Monsters first, but now it seems that the Demon Lord is not in a hurry to do so.

In this case, Pedro is also happy to be idle, so he thinks of sending his monsters to harass the human towns first, and then take the opportunity to recover his full strength.

But the final result was a fiasco, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, if the Demon King was here, seeing his failure, he would definitely not have a good fruit to eat.

At this time, he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

However, Pedro suddenly noticed that there were other people present in the empty room, and he quickly looked around, only to finally find a figure leaning against a stone pillar, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing whether he was napping or thinking.

"Allison?" Pedro recognized him.

Allison, who is a demon god, heard the voice of his boss and was so frightened that he quickly shook his head to sober himself up, and then said with a respectful face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to welcome you back."

Pedro knew that he was one of the eight demon gods, and originally the eight pillars of this room were carved with statues of eight demon gods, but it was not stone, but the body of a real demon god, and the demon god would wake up and turn from a statue into a body if the statue was stained with a little blood.

Today, there are only five statues left on the pillars, which means that two other demon gods have awakened besides Allison, at least before him.

As for the Demon King, his colleagues, or the other two Demon Gods, Pedro didn't know when they woke up, maybe a year ago, or decades ago.

In short, the only information available now is that the Demon King did not order a general attack on the humans, so Pedro will not act rashly, and the battle during the day is just a warm-up.

It's just that this battle, which was used as a warm-up, became the first iron plate he kicked in.

Therefore, he inevitably thought a lot about Allison not coming out to greet him, or not sending troops to support him before.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had misunderstood, Allison didn't know about his fiasco, so how could he have an opinion about him?

"That, Master Pedro, I have something to hold in my heart, and I don't know if I should say it or not." Allison's words interrupted his thoughts.

"What words? But it doesn't hurt to say that. 'Pedro has shown his generosity.

This is one of his principles, no matter what has happened to him, he will not transfer his anger to his kind.

"You're not going to fail, are you?" Allison looked him straight in the eye.

“…… Yes? Why do you think that, I ...... I just went out for a walk, and I didn't go to war with humans. Pedro explained with a flustered look on his face.

"Hehe, Mistress Pedro, I didn't say you lost the war with humans." Allison crossed his arms and said jokingly, "You're not fooling yourself, are you?" ”

"Tsk," Pedro said to himself, continuing to argue, "Why don't you confess, is this the tone in which you are talking to your boss?" ”

"Yes, I can apologize for that, but how can you explain the fact that you were defeated by humans?" Allison looked menacing, and seemed to make it clear that he would be held accountable.

"I'm ......" Pedro stopped talking, after all, he did something degrading to the demons.

"Hmph, forgive the offense, but I have to say, you have become a disgrace to the demons, if you were a little conscious, you wouldn't have taken it upon yourself to go to war with humans, I had already made a plan, if you could act according to the plan, it would definitely not be the current situation."

Faced with the reproaches of his subordinates, Pedro couldn't say a word.

On the one hand, they demons are like this, although there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but every demon member can speak freely, except for those monsters who do not have wisdom.

On the other hand, Pedro did fail, and he himself was ashamed, so he was speechless.

"So, what about Kraken's arm? Did you get it back? Allison confronted him with a more stern expression.

"Kraken? Who is it? Pedro was stunned.

“…… Belch. ”

Not only him, but even Allison looked at him with a surprised expression on his face, and he was stunned in place.

His mind stalled for a few seconds, and finally a nameless fire rose from the bottom of his heart.

"My Lord Pedro, you ...... Alas, I was speechless. ”

Allison felt angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to Pedro after all, so he could only cover his face helplessly.

"Ah......h I really haven't heard of the Kraken, he can't be some demon god, right? Pedro said, scratching his head.

Allison returned to his normal appearance, but he decided to explain it to Pedro patiently.

"Yes, you guessed it, he's one of the Demon Gods, and you should know that...... Well, let's say it myself, in short, the power of our demon king is not complete, and our eight demon gods are the key to the demon king's complete power, and Kraken woke up long before us, and then I don't know why, he only had one tentacle left, and was even kept as a specimen in the hands of human nobles, alas, it's really a shame to say, if he wasn't useful, I would have killed him with my own hands. ”

"I see," Pedro nodded, but he quickly spotted the flaw, "since you know he's there, why didn't you get him back?" ”

“…… Uh," Allison couldn't help but go into cardiac arrest when he heard him ask about this, "I, that, didn't I say I was going to go with the plan?" So I thought I'd come back first and make a foolproof plan, but I didn't expect you to go to a human town alone, didn't that disrupt my plan? ”

"Hehe, is that really the case?" Pedro stared at him with burning eyes.

Allison was weak-hearted, but he would never say that he had failed, but even if he did, he felt that he was excusable.

"Okay, I've got a showdown, I admit that I failed to rescue Kraken, but I'm just a minion, and there's nothing wrong with failure, but what about you? The dignified Dark Knight was actually defeated by humans, are you embarrassed to accuse me? ”

However, Pedro said angrily, "Anyway, you are also the best of the demon race, and you should be ashamed of your failures, instead of asking me for trouble here." ”

"Huh? In this way, you have no sense of guilt for your failures, and you only want to hold me accountable. ”

Allison is not to be outdone, after all, if you want to say who has caused more damage to the demons in this conflict, Pedro will definitely be the first.

With that said, the atmosphere between the two sides became awkward, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

"Well," Pedro thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "Well, just listen to me, none of us are allowed to say anything about this failure, it's all good for us, how about it?" ”

"Hehe, that's a great idea," Allison immediately put on a smile and then said in a threatening tone, "Well, it's our secret, and if you tell me about it, I won't give up." ”

"You're threatening me?" Pedro said calmly.

He is very aware of the difference in strength between the Demon God and the Dark Knight, the so-called Demon God is just a relatively powerful existence among the demons, and the strength of the Dark Knight is second only to the Demon King.

"Hmph, each other." Allison was noncommittal.

At this moment, a diminutive monster suddenly emerged from the mural on the wall, which was Babu, who was a wise breed but did not look very intelligent.

There is no doubt that he was in the middle of the conversation between Pedro and Allison.

"Hehe, Master Pedro, I heard it, you actually lost to humans, it makes me, disappointed, I want to tell everyone about it."

Babu spoke in fits and starts, his disdain for Pedro evident on his demented face.

Allison couldn't help but snicker, indeed, according to the agreement just now, he couldn't say anything about Pedro's defeat to humans, but there was a third person here, and it would be okay for this person to say it.

When the time comes, Pedro will definitely be ruined, and Allison knows very well that if the Dark Knight makes a major mistake, it is possible to be replaced, and the armor and magic sword will be stripped away.

Once Pedro is disqualified, the next Dark Knight will only have to choose among the eight Daedrics.

Now that the Kraken is still in the hands of humans, and another awakened demon god is nowhere to be found, then Allison is stable.

However, the next scene made him completely break this thought.

After listening to Babu's words, Pedro's brow furrowed, his eyes became fierce, and then a small fireball was released from his hand.

The ball of fire was only the size of a palm, but the moment it touched Babu, it engulfed his entire body, and finally poor Babu turned into a cloud of ashes before he even had time to scream.

"Hmph, I know what you're thinking," Pedro said to Allison after he finished speaking, "It seems that you still don't understand, no matter who reveals this matter, I will regard it as breaking our agreement, and then tell all the demon members about your failure, in short, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, don't take chances, besides, I have to remind you that if you didn't just say that the demon god helped the demon king gain full power, you would have ended up like this fool now." ”

"Yes, yes, I ...... I understand. Allison nodded hurriedly.

For the first time, he was glad that he was a demon god.

"Well, it's good to understand," Pedro continued, clasping his hands, "and then, let's think about how we can get the Kraken back." ”

"Hehe, I had a plan for this." Allison smiled mysteriously.

In fact, he had long expected that Pedro might fail, because he knew too well the character of these dark knights, and he always relied on his god-level equipment to look invincible.

At first, he thought that humans were powerless, but what happened? He was defeated by a witch and an ordinary teenager.

Therefore, Allison speculated that since Pedro went to the human town alone, then with the wisdom of this young man, it is likely that he will be toyed with in the palm of his hand, and Kraken's arm is destined to be impossible to snatch back.

So in the end, it was up to the boy to be killed first, and then the dragon and the witch around him, and Allison designed a trap for this.

"Hmph, wait for me to be ashamed."
