Chapter 57: Digesting the "Sophist"
What terrified these demons was not that they were about to die, but that their death was unclear.
They hated themselves, even after they had given up their conscience and done enough evil, that the power they had paid to the gods had not worked in the slightest against such a terrible enemy.
They didn't even know where their enemies were, and they didn't even have a way to ask for help, so they were quietly turned into secret puppets.
Almost at the same time that the first demon was transformed into a secret puppet, the blood-red vines soaked in the solution "plopped" and jumped. The sound of a heartbeat alerted the figure in the middle, shrouded in robes.
He snorted coldly, and several extraordinary people around him who heard this voice with the gift of the fifth-level "Apostle of Desire" suddenly stood up.
"What's going on?" An "Apostle of Desire" turned to look at the figure in the robe. He was silent, just looking at the demons in the distance, who were slowly standing up one by one.
"What's the matter?" He raised his chin, "If I don't remind you, you're just like that bunch of waste." ”
Listening to the words of the leader, seeing this scene, the "Apostle of Desire" felt his scalp tingle.
His body suddenly turned into a wriggling black liquid and appeared in front of a demon. He raised his hand and pressed it on the demon's head, pinching the head of a demon directly.
However, their movements had no effect at all, and after pinching and popping the heads of several demons walking towards them in succession, this "Apostle of Desire" finally looked at the other demons who were not afraid of death, and finally there was a little panic in his expression.
- He doesn't even know who his enemies are, and his subordinates have all become enemies.
You must know that the "demon" path is not a way with absolute dominance from top to bottom like the "Grim Reaper", the demons all have backbones in the back of their heads, unless the difference in strength is very large, otherwise the dozens of demons here can completely defeat them one by one under the combined force.
The number of these demons is high, but when it comes to the "Apostles of Desire", only a single digit is left to receive gifts.
"He's a 'Master of Secret Puppets' - find him out, and he won't be able to continue to control the Secret Puppet."
The hooded man spoke in a calm tone, a pair of demonic horns hidden in the shadows emitting a breathtaking red glow.
Of course, he knew that the "Master of Secret Puppets" who could control so many secret puppets at the same time would not be an ordinary Sequence Five. However, he did not intend to tell the other "Apostles of Desire" about the other party's true strength.
First, it is not difficult to bestow a demon on the "Apostle of Desire". And it doesn't matter if the object of the gift is a believer who has not yet become a demon, the great "Mother Tree of Desire" has given them the great gift of transforming from ordinary people to Sequence Six, and it is equally simple to make them become Sequence Five.
He was a demigod "devil" of the demonic path, and before that he was just an ordinary "apostle of desire". It's just that he firmly believes in the Mother Tree of Desire, and doesn't believe in the abyss like other people from the demon family.
It was precisely because of this that after successfully emerging from the abyss, he was favored by the great gods and became a demigod.
After all these demons had collapsed in a pool of blood, he looked at the exhausted "Apostles of Desire" under his command, stretched out his hand, and gently grasped something in the air.
After seeing the frightened expression of his subordinates, the devil looked unwavering—even a little like laughing.
They are the Extraordinary Beings of Sequence Five, who have been stricken with the disease of the "Witch of Pain", and now, they are bound to die, so it is better to make a little contribution to the Lord's coming.
They all have the gifts given by the Mother Tree of Desire, and although there is no way to speed up the advent ritual of the Mother Tree of Desire, it is completely able to temporarily stimulate the blood-colored rhizome bred by this node to find the intruder hidden around.
It's a pity that if it's exposed, you have to change positions...... The devil thought with some regret.
I don't know which fool exposed himself on the way to the blood sacrifice, and was followed here, exposing them all to the enemy's sight.
"—The Lord's Advent Rite is not to be missed." The devil said in a low tone, not at all guilty for slaughtering his companions:
"Give your life for the coming of the Lord."
As they fell one by one, drops of viscous black liquid seemed to emerge in the air, forming a black mist.
The mist seemed harmless, but as the black mist gradually formed, the soil on the ground surged, and plants grew like wriggling flesh.
The heart soaked in the glass jar throbbed, sending a little red light outside. But in this case, the devil's expression turned hideous.
Because, even if he "activated" the heart's probing function by sacrificing his subordinates and sacrificing these lucky people who had been gifted, he could not find out where the enemy was.
The power of the Lord was ineffective - which made the look of the devil who had been fearless even heavier.
But his body soon swelled and turned into a devilish posture.
Although the Devil is mentally advanced in the ranks of serial killers, he is ruthless and cunning, and likes to mislead people in various things, including combat. But in front of the "sophists" who are mainly weird, the devil's own characteristics in this regard seem to be a little insufficient.
Not to mention, he didn't find out where the "trickster" in front of him was at all, and the secret puppets in front of him alone were not something that the devil could control.
Although he doesn't need to wait for the other party's mood to fluctuate like his previous stage of the "Apostle of Desire" to be able to detonate the minds of others, these secret puppets are essentially pure dead people, and there is no such thing as a mind.
Looking at the demon who was still partially transformed into a puppet in front of him and the beautiful woman sitting on the demon's shoulder, the devil felt a little retreat in his heart.
First of all, although his own mental state is crazy and cruel, it does not mean that he does not desire life. In fact, the devil who has received the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire" has a stronger desire for life.
Not to mention that this demon also has the burden of completing the Advent Ritual of the Mother Tree of Desire.
As far as he knew, the number of demigods in Beckland right now was not too many, only about six. When they complete the task of the Great Mother Tree of Desire this time, they will definitely have the opportunity to become the "whisperers" of Sequence Three.
It's just that not every extraordinary person who has received the gift of the "devil" has the opportunity to become a "whisperer", and there must be only one or two places to become the third sequence.
If you let the average, mentally normal extraordinary person think about it, he may do better than the other partners, so as to snatch the chance to become a sequence three.
But for these devils who are loyal to their desires, the way they snatch to become Sequence 3 is very simple, that is, to deal with the other compatriots in this ritual and monopolize the opportunity for promotion.
And that's exactly what happened. When they are in danger, other devils will definitely not go too far to help them, and even if they arrive here in time, they will only take the glass jar that has been cultivated eighty or ninety percent and is close to being cultivated to ask the gods for merit.
In that jar there is the "Heart of Desire" formed by the divine power of the Mother Tree of Desire, and after being irrigated by countless flesh and blood, this heart has become the cornerstone of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
However, no matter how the devil thinks about how to crack it, he can't break the cage of secret puppets in the end. After a brief attempt, he realizes that he can't escape with his puzzle-solving methods, and after a few moments he decides to use force to break the game.
He's going to get rid of all the secret puppets here and force out the demigods of Sequence 4!
And under the suppressive power of a demigod, the demon with a lower sequence in the same sequence as himself has no way to play a greater role, so he can only rely on his strong body to act as a human shield, temporarily protecting the only "sick girl" who can have a slight impact on this devil.
Crane stood above, controlling the secret puppets who had just been controlled by himself through a network composed of secret puppets, and the spirit insects were instantly recalled with the agitation of the gray mist, so that the devil had no way to destroy the spirit insects that gathered some of his extraordinary characteristics and cause damage to him.
He successfully guided the devil to kill all the secret puppets under the current factory, which means that the devil has fallen into Klein's "script".
Hating Adam, understanding Adam, and surpassing Adam - Seeing one's enemies as secret puppets in battle, and having him dance like a marionette in the center of the stage is also the best way to play the role of a "magician".
During this action, Crane felt that he was only one step away from digesting the potion.
It's time to wrap up this drama.
Crane watched vigilantly at the glass jar that the demon had brought to his side, to prevent contamination from belonging to the evil god (Crane knew the outer god as an evil god without the protection of the gray fog outside).
Crash.
The devil felt unprecedented "malice" in an instant, and under the effect of malicious perception, every piece of skin on his body became a little tingling.
It was only in the next moment that he saw that next to the glass jar behind him, the demon puppet whose neck had just been broken by himself had turned into a figure more than two meters tall with a wooden cane in his hand.
The tip of the wooden cane had already pierced through the heart of the blood-red vines, and the devil's pupils constricted, and everything in front of him seemed to slow down, but the wooden cane still poked towards the back of his heart, extremely fast.
He tried to escape, but found that everything in front of him seemed to be stuck, and he knew that his spirit line had been controlled by this "magician".
He roared with some anger and turned around to fight back, but at the same time, a red light flashed in his pupils, wanting to detonate the desire of the "magician" in front of him.
Klein suddenly felt a wave of fear surging up in his heart, which made him even want to throw down the cane in his hand and run away. But he quickly overcame this fear, and continued to steadfastly stab his staff into the devil's heart.
In fact, Crane's current actions were nothing more than deceiving the devil in front of him, making him mistakenly believe that this and the extremely strange wooden long-handled cane were extraordinary items of the "Grim Reaper" or "Hunter" path, capable of dealing a fatal blow to him.
So much so that the "magician" in front of him would rather give up the control of the spirit thread than send the cane into his body.
And after he detonated the desire in the body of the "Sorcerer" in front of him, he saw that the "Sorcerer* in front of him was obviously moved, making the devil want to subconsciously roll behind the Sorcerer and tear him apart.
But Crane clearly expected this, and he let out a soft "snort", and a stream of light that seemed to be the color of dark yellow suddenly erupted from between his mouth and nose, pouring into the devil's head.
With the blessing of "Source Castle", the "Technique of Humming"!
The devil visibly froze in place, watching the staff come to him. After he regained his ability to move, the attack of the "Sorcerer" in front of him was inevitable. He roared in despair, gave up his resistance to the spirit thread, and threw himself forward.
Even if he dies, he will die with the demigods in front of him!
In this case, with the help of the power of that desire heart, he may still have the possibility of transforming into a runaway monster. Even if it is out of control, it is better than death, and at least it can retain part of its own will.
Even if the heart of desire has been penetrated just now, it has a strong vitality and will not be completely inactive in a short period of time - after all, it is a heart that has been built up with countless lives.
However, the devil heard a click, and the original location of the "trickster" in front of him was replaced by a demon, and the wooden crutch broke directly under his hard skin, causing the devil to freeze in place.
It was just an ordinary, if not somewhat inferior crutch made of wood.
Even though it has a strange shape, it's still just an ordinary crutch.
Such a dramatic turn of events made the devil dazed for a moment, but the next moment he felt his body gradually numb, a sign that he had completely mastered the spirit thread.
At the last moment of his life, he looked with difficulty at the heart of desire that was still beating on the ground and penetrated a little, and the black liquid in his eyes seemed to be surging in his pupils as if it were dripping out.
In just an instant, he was completely transformed into a secret puppet, and at the same time, the blood-red heart also exploded in an instant, and countless brilliant points of light bloomed from it.
Suddenly, a purple-black door seemed to form in place, and then twisted into a "whirlpool" that constantly sprayed outward with a thin black liquid.
Today, there is a manuscript to save the mouth!
