Chapter 67: The Red-Eyed Monster
Edward was ruthless.
"Boy, you're enough!" said Jill snapped.
He tensed his muscles and gripped the hilt of his knife hard, forcing his legs to stop shaking.
Obviously, the other party is just an arrogant boy who can't help but be weak, and it is clear that Jill keeps hinting at himself that the other party is just bluffing, there are four of them, and they are already in an invincible position.
But even so, he panicked instantly.
The realm of the Demon King is open.
An inexplicable wave spread, and Jill felt as if he was caught in some kind of terrible enchantment, with despair and fear enveloping him in the center, and there was no way to escape.
Later, Jill was surprised to find that the source of all his fear was the strange boy in front of him.
Kill this kid or he'll kill him!
Jill was quick to make her choice.
"Brothers, give it to me!" ordered Jill in a loud voice.
He didn't want to delay for a moment.
But even though he said this, the three younger brothers beside him still didn't move, standing stupidly in place like stone sculptures.
None of them dared to go up, for they were even more frightened than Jill, and they were so frightened that they could hardly hold their knives.
The Demon King Realm made them lose the courage to resist, it was a kind of fear from the heart, it was the submission of weak humans to the most powerful demons.
It's not going in, it's not going back, what should I do?
Jill froze for a moment.
If he retires now, he will definitely be looked down upon by his younger brothers, and if this matter spreads in the future, he will no longer be able to mix in the Black Flame Gang.
But if he is on the ...... now He was afraid that he would really be killed by this kid.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a person suddenly ran over at the mouth of the alley.
"Boss, boss, it's not good!
The man ran over panting, sweating profusely, not even noticing the tension that was on the verge of eruption.
"Grass, calm down, what's wrong?" Affected by him, Jill also became agitated.
He put himself in a stance, ready to fight Edward to the death, but he let go of his voice and emboldened himself with a hoarse shout.
"She, she, she's coming!"
"She?" Jill didn't react for a moment, he looked down and thought about it, and suddenly realized something, "Could it be her? The demon fox who sneaked into the center? My mother, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Demon fox? A demon who specializes in killing bad guys?
Edward stood there and watched coldly.
Looks like they're in big trouble, Jill.
"No, no, it's not her...... It's her!" the man said breathlessly.
"She, she, she! You can tell me, who the hell is she?"
"It's that woman, it's her!"
"She?......" Jill's face turned pale in an instant.
Bells.
He didn't pay attention, and the iron knife slipped from between his fingers and slammed to the ground with a screeching sound.
Jill picked up his knife stupidly, his eyes were empty, he looked at Edward blankly, and then looked at the anxious little brother next to him, and then, when the soul returned to his body, he laughed dryly, frowned again, and grinned with tears and laughter.
Jill's crazy appearance was all seen by the younger brothers, but none of them had the slightest intention of laughing at Jill, because they also became crazy.
"Boss, boss, what should I do?"
"What else can I do?" Jill gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Run!"
"Run, then, boss, what is he going to do, do you want to kill him?" one of the younger brothers pointed to Edward, who was watching the play.
"Forget it...... Jill waved his hand, signaling his little brother to stay away from Edward, and then pointed to Edward's nose and said, "Boy, count yourself lucky, let you go today, if we let the Black Flame Gang run into it again, we will kill you!"
"Hehe, okay. Edward shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then asked rhetorically, "Hey, don't go yet, let's make it clear, who is 'she' in your mouth?"
"Hmph, boy, I'm ......" Jill wanted to say a few more harsh words, but a strange voice in the distance made him lose his voice for a moment, and he could only talk dryly, but could not say a word.
Click, click, click.
Slow, irregular footsteps rang out.
Woohoo......
With the sound of stumbling footsteps, and a strange roar like a beast.
The low roar echoed through the alley in the middle of the night, getting louder and louder as time went on.
Obviously, that "she" is getting closer and closer to them!
"Boss, boss, let's run quickly! if we don't run, it's too late!" The younger brother wanted to run away from this land of right and wrong, but they had to obey Jill's orders, so they could only cry and plead.
"No, no, no, no, I, I I have to make sure it's her!" Jill's voice was out of tune, like a, and she began to stutter when she spoke.
But even so, he still insisted, unwilling to just run away.
"Boss, are you—are you sure?"
"I'm sure I'm sure!" replied Jill pretending to be calm.
"Boss, can you stop stammering?"
"Grass, I'm me, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not stammering!"
Even though her legs trembled, Jill still stood in place, not leaving an inch, shoulder to shoulder with her younger brothers, holding hands, supporting each other, waiting for the arrival of "her".
Seeing their ridiculous appearance of being scared to pee, Edward's anger had already drifted out of the clouds, but their curiosity was aroused.
He folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and waited lazily to see a good show.
Jill and the others were no longer going to pay attention to him, and now, he could leave the alley calmly and return to Hogg House, but the "she" in Jill's mouth made Edward care very much.
Who is such a person who can scare a bunch of outlaws with his voice and fame alone?
Grunt......
Tension filled the narrow alley, and Edward swallowed hard and stared intently at the mouth of the alley.
Click, click.
In the middle of the night, the terrible sound of footsteps and roars crashed against the walls and bounced back into their ears like a reminder of death.
The voice was getting closer and closer, only a few steps away from them, and seemed to be right in front of them, but the light was dim, and they couldn't see what it was, and could only sketch her roughly from the silhouette of the shadow.
She is supposed to be human, but she is not a human.
Despite her slender limbs, she walks in a strange way, swaying from side to side, as if she is going to fall at any moment.
She was very thin, but she had a very bloated belly. The big round belly protrudes at the front, as if it is a huge tumor, and such a strange body proportion makes people feel chills.
It looks like a person but not a person, and it looks like a ghost but not a ghost.
"That's right, it's her, it's her!" Gil suddenly exclaimed after seeing the strange figure, with a strange smile on his face.
In his excitement, he didn't realize that his pants were soaked. What about incontinence or something?
Jill has fallen into madness.
In the darkness, the blood-red eyes of "her" shone with a terrifying light, as if it were a man-eating beast from the Endless Forest, or as if it was the ultimate demon from the abyss. With viscous body fluids dripping on the ground from time to time, and a roar of pain worse than a ghost's scream, she was the most disgusting monster in the world.
The figure drew closer and closer, and it was at last, in the dim light of the moon, that Edward finally saw her face.
"That's her, that's her! Run, aaa
"Boss, don't leave us!
After a commotion, Jill ran away with his younger brothers. In the narrow alley, only Edward and the disgusting monster remained, and the two looked at each other in silence.
Edward didn't move, and neither did the monster.
"Hey. Edward was the first to break the silence, and he smiled bitterly and said helplessly to the monster, "What more can I say?"
"Hmm......"
The monster looked curiously at Jill, who had run away, then at Edward with watery red eyes, and then at Edward.
"Edward, play with me......"
It was a beautiful voice as clear as flowing water, and Edward would never forget her voice.
"Emilia ......"
Edward gently put his arm around her shoulders and gently held her in his arms.
