Antlers fled all the way back to the "storage room".

But not his pantry, but Aleister's.

He resurrected the remaining two corpses to protect himself.

And petrified the door of the storage room, and prepared to stay here until the end of the ceremony.

It is a pity that the resurrected corpse has been stripped of the fourfold realm and cannot use the abilities of love, beauty, wisdom, and transcendence of the fourfold path. And these two corpses should belong to "Hong" and the monk, corresponding to the path of love and the path of wisdom, respectively.

This means that the two bodies are merely able to move.

But it's not a big problem. The doors have been sealed and no one will come here except the giants...... If the giant arrives, he will send the corpse over for them to eat.

"There are up to three survivors......"

Antlers muttered in a low voice, "Ash can't survive." Then the ceremony is actually over.

"I just need to stay here and live to the end."

No matter what, he could not imagine the possibility of Mr. Gray surviving Aleister's attack.

For the intellectually weak, intellectually low, and easily mad Majin, chasing down an assassin who is fast and good at hiding is probably like a cat and mouse, and only has an interest in hunting. And Shadow Fiend can also give him the ability to see into the shadows...... As a result, Ash's stealth is ineffective against him.

"Hopefully Ash will hold on a little longer."

Antlers gloated and whispered, "Anyway, you young people still have a lot of opportunities, so let me have this opportunity......"

It's a demon.,It's terrifying.。 He sighed.

Although in the eyes of demon scholars, the Majin are nothing more than dangerous humanoid beasts.

But as far as other professions are concerned...... At least at the lower energy level, a demon parasitized by a superior demon is much more dangerous than a demon scholar.

According to the demonic knowledge that Antlers had obtained from the Noble Red Society, the first-level demons could exert at least one-tenth of the power of the upper demons and one-third of the power of the lower demons; With the deals they initiate with the demons, the power they can wield will rise even further.

Demons are like a good medium vessel, gradually making their bodies more suitable for demons.

For demons, the demons are the "armor" that helps them avoid their weaknesses, and the "houses" that can manifest in the material world without relying on contracts. It is a very valuable asset.

Demons will not be willing to kill the demons they parasitize unless necessary.

As a result, the Majin can relinquish their control over their bodies step by step and trade for more and more power. As their energy levels rise, their bodies are strengthened, allowing them to develop techniques that allow them to borrow more demonic power in advance, or to permanently twist their bodies into demon-like forms.

Until the Demon Scholar advanced to the Demon Incarnation and transformed himself into a high-level demon and obtained an immortal life, in terms of pure combat power, the Demon Scholar was never able to defeat the Demon of the same level. Just as it is difficult for a lawyer to fight against an overseer of his level.

The caster's combat effectiveness in the early stage of the encounter is weaker after all.

However, as far as the relationship with the demon is concerned, the relationship between the demon scholar and the demon is always that of a collaborator. Higher-level demon scholars have a relationship with lesser demons, lower demons, and even near-servile ones.

However, the demons are always in a lower position.

What they want to transcend is their own destiny itself, which is controlled by demons.

That Aleister is clearly the type enslaved by the Shadow Fiend.

The sound that Aleister made in the waiting room could not have been a human voice. Judging by the tone and intonation, it should have been the movement of the Shadow Demon controlling his body.

At that time, Antlers judged that he should be taught by no one, and that he was stronger than the normal demon parasitized by the Shadow Demon. Presumably because he sold more souls in his past life in exchange for stronger strength.

At his trading speed, it is estimated that he will be swallowed into an empty shell by the Shadow Demon before reaching the third energy level.

But Antlers still underestimated him.

- When the hound appeared, the antlers gave up the temptation, turned around and ran.

Because Antlers knew the hound. That's the Shadow Demon's signature attack, and it's also the embodiment of the Shadow Demon.

Antlers is friends with the vice president of Boca at Lloyd's. Boca is also a member of the Noble Red Society, and is the guide who introduced it to him.

Boca is a high-ranking demon scholar, and Antlers has seen him use very powerful upper-rank ritual spells.

The ritual of "Shadow Dog Devour" is a temporary summoning of a Shadow Demon in the form of a Shadow Dog and sending him back with only one attack.

It looks like a shadow dog like a vigorous hound, but its mouth is open but taller than a human, and it can devour people with just one bite. If you jump up and attack, you will be able to return the bite directly to the shadow realm of the dream world when you land. That would be equivalent to directly erasing this part of the body...... If you swallow the whole person in one gulp, you can drag it directly into the dream world.

The biggest difference between the illusionary demon and the material realm race is that all illusionary demons can enter the dream realm in the physical body. But it is impossible for humans - so the moment humans are dragged into the dream realm, they will die irresistibly.

If this blow can happen to completely hit the powerhouse of the fifth energy level, and just swallow it until it leaves, then the powerhouse of the fifth energy level will also be killed by one blow.

This is the classic transcendent path spell.

Pay attention to the defeat of the strong with the weak, pay the cost of time and materials by preparing in advance, take the risk of not being able to hit or swallow the failure, to hold complex rituals, to gamble on the possibility of killing with one hit.

At that time, Vice President Boca was right-the arbitrator who was stronger than them was directly taken away by the Shadow Demon and disappeared without a trace. Not even a trace remained.

If Aleister could summon the Shadow Dogs......

That means that the power of the Shadow Demon has been able to manifest itself to the outside world through him. As a container for the Shadow Demon, but it can allow the power of the Shadow Demon to flow to the outside world, it means that the container has leaked.

As a demon, it's only one step away from getting out of control. Those phantom eggs that are close to getting out of control are like this.

“…… It doesn't matter, in the end, it's my victory. ”

The antlers comforted themselves.

This promotion will only hasten Aleister's death...... His will has almost been worn away, and this promotion will be the last straw that will break the camel's back.

He could faintly hear that the thunder seemed to make the knight flee. But in the opinion of the antlers, the knight should not be able to escape.

The only one who can survive is himself hiding here.

Then when Aleister is completely devoured by the Shadow Demon after being promoted, this ceremony is actually equivalent to him being the only one to win.

The location where he is now is where Aleister first appeared. This is a wonderful hiding place for the antlers to find with great difficulty.

His judgment was simple - the Thunder had a full team of three, while Aleister appeared alone. Then the storage room with the two corpses must be the storage room where Aleister appeared.

It's a dead end.

Aleister will either go hunting the knight or will go in search of the Holy Lance. With enough time to spare, no one would think of going back. Especially the birthplace that took a long detour.

"Seventeen minutes to go."

Antlers muttered in a low voice, "It's coming, it's coming......"

Although he doesn't have a pocket watch, as a transcendent of the Dusk Path, he is very sensitive to the passage of time.

"-What's coming?"

A faint low voice suddenly came from outside the door.

This caused the antlers to hold their breath for a moment.

A great sense of fear gripped his heart—even though he knew that it was all just a dream, the incomprehensible and imminent sense of crisis still suffocated him instinctively.

He tried to suppress the fear in his heart and calm himself down.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand without hesitation, using what little magic he had left to use petrified light on the gate again.

- It's hard to see in this gloomy environment, and the antlers have a bone ring on their right index finger.

It was a ritual vessel made of baby skulls that he had made with his own hands.

It allows the antlers to omit the first level of spell chanting and cast spells instantly. This is also the reason why his rank is slightly lower than that of Red and Thunder, but he will sit in the first position.

Antlers had deliberately complained to Mr. Gray that he had "no bone staff", and was slowly chanting at the petrified gate. It's to hide his instantaneous spellcasting ability and dig a hole for Mr. Ash. If Ash thinks he sees his cards and intends to play on him, then he will surprise Mr. Ash.

It's just that I didn't expect that Thunder, who had fainted for some reason, suddenly woke up.

Compared to the Knight and the unknown spellcaster, Thunder is much more threatening. So Antlers is forced to reveal his hole cards and try to sneak up on Thunder and petrify it instantly.

But for some reason, the Thunder reacted - not so much a reaction as a prediction.

The speed of petrification is faster than a bullet, and you can't dodge it anymore when you see it.

It's strange, why did Thunder realize that he was going to use petrification on him?

The antlers, who are not good at fighting, can't figure out what flaws they have exposed. Now, there is no need for him to continue hiding...... All he could do was seal the gates.

This bronze gate, when unlocked, would require the sturdy young warriors to push it open. With the keyhole, grip, and door crack soldered by him, Aleister couldn't push the door open anyway.

As long as Aleister is ruined, he should be gone. After all, there is no need for him to kill himself, in fact, Aleister has already successfully qualified......

But at this moment, there was a loud noise.

It was as if something had slashed at the bronze gate—a solid solid bronze door that had been slashed through with a single blow.

- This is the door of the temple, not a pure bronze plate!

Antlers' heart was beating violently, and he couldn't help but say loudly, "Are you crazy?!" This will lure the giants over! ”

Outside, Aless's low, eerie voice rang out: "Then open the door, sir......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was another loud bang, and the ground shook and smoke rose.

This time, the antlers finally saw that it was a huge spiral spear made of shadows. Even the blessed temple gates could not resist the full force of the Shadow Fiend's attack. I'm afraid I'll get a big hole if I try it again.

"—You're crazy, you devil!"

Without hesitation, the antlers raised their hands and fired petrified rays into the hole.

However, a third attack was delayed.

Just when Antlers thought he had succeeded in petrifying. He was going to send the corpse to test it: "You go and see ......"

"Where am I here......"

A low, hoarse voice whispered behind him and in his ear: "You want him to ...... What to see? ”

When—

In an instant, countless sharp spikes with barbs pierced from behind the antlers, and the slender black thorns hung with blood, dangling his body forward and upward.

"Uh......"

The intense pain left the antlers' brains blank.

He didn't even have time to comprehend what was happening, when he saw an incomparably thick black spiral spear pierce through his back, pierce his chest and abdomen, and appear in front of him.

"What do you want to see...... Is this it? ”

The Shadow Fiend's evil, hoarse voice rang out.

Then, in the midst of its maniacal laughter and the terrible screams of the antlers, the antlers were torn to pieces by the Shadow Fiend from all fours.
