Purple light flashed, and a handsome boy appeared among the desolate yellow sands.

Hardy looked around and subconsciously covered his nose.

The air was filled with the strong smell of rotten eggs, which was the smell of sulfur.

Very bad smell.

The whole world is very dark, there is a sun in the sky, but it is faint.

It's obviously hanging overhead, but the light emitted is similar to the sunset that is about to set.

There is no temperature, and the air is on the cold side.

Hardy took a few steps, then frowned.

The sand on the ground is very soft and sags.

After just a few steps, sand was already in the shoes.

Anyone with a bit of experience walking in the sand knows that it will be tiring if you can't walk far like this.

Hardy had no choice but to turn into Nightmare Knight.

The giant black knight, seven meters tall, appeared on the sand, but strangely did not descend, and the four horses' hooves stood firmly on the sand.

Master Nightmare Knight can easily walk on water, let alone sand.

Hardy instigated his mount, chose an active volcano in the distance, and walked slowly.

Even from a distance, you can see the active volcano flowing with several rivers of red magma.

Before coming to the Demon Realm, Sophie told Hardy about the environment.

Generally speaking, around active volcanoes, you can find a gathering place for demons.

Because...... Active volcanoes are the source of 'energy' for all demonic creatures.

Even the Demon King's Palace was built next to a huge active volcano.

Becoming a Nightmare Knight requires the consumption of dark magic.

But because this world has no sun god and no light power, the dark magic has increased significantly.

The concentration is about three times higher than that of the human world.

As a result, Hardy, who has become a Nightmare Knight, can almost permanently maintain the form of a Nightmare Knight in the Demon Realm.

That's why Petora said that Hardy was safe in the Demon Realm.

Although the Nightmare Knight's steps are very slow, it can't stand its tall body, more than four meters tall long legs, and every step it takes, it is a distance of about five meters, and the travel speed is actually not slow.

Hardy walked slowly, surveying his surroundings.

It had been at least four hours since he appeared in the Demon Realm.

As the faint sunlight slanted westward, the world of the Demon Realm darkened, and the five fingers were no longer visible.

Only the lava river of an active volcano in the distance, like a few beautiful red bands in the darkness, guides the traveler's direction.

It is a terrible thing for a person to walk in the silent desert.

In fact, there is no wind in this place, and the silence is frightening.

Only the sound of nightmarish horses' hooves, standing on the ground rustling.

Thanks to his strong mental strength, Hardy quickly became accustomed to such an environment.

He was still looking into the distance, walking quietly.

At the same time, Hardy could also feel that the nightmare he sat down exuded joy, and it seemed that he was happy to be able to return to the demon world.

I don't know how long I walked, but before the faint sun rose behind him, Hardy finally came to the foot of an active volcano.

He stood on top of the sand dunes, looking at the small settlement in front of him.

The magma from the volcano converges at the foot of the mountain to form a river, forming a lake that is half red, half red.

Small settlements are built right next to the magma lake.

A large number of flame imps, bouncing around in the solidified magma dikes, wielding their hoes and digging down black stones.

Hardy withdrew his gaze and walked over with a slight nightmare.

With his arrival, many 'people' discovered him.

The five-meter-high black city wall is a low earthen wall in front of the seven-meter-high Nightmare Knight.

Can't stop the Nightmare Rider's pace.

But Hardy didn't attack, but walked over, looked down at the flame imps lying in a circle on the city wall, and asked, "Where is this, do you know where the Headless Horseman is going?" ”

Hardy uses human language.

At first, Hardy was a little worried about language communication, but Sophie told him directly: "Franci is one of the lingua franca of the demons. ”

Hardy was surprised: "Why? ”

"I didn't study history, so I don't know very well." Sophie said helplessly, "I'm just a succubus, not a scholar, and I'm not a big man who specializes in magic and knowledge. ”

Listening to the Nightmare Knight's words, a relatively majestic flame imp looked up at the Black Knight's huge head and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, we are here in Haberu Village. The territory of the Headless Horseman, I don't know where, we never left our village. ”

Hardy groaned and was about to leave, then asked, "Whose territory is this?" ”

"The domain of the Dragonborn Shashatmuer." The Flame Imp said in fear, "We are all his people. ”

Dragonborn?

Kobolds?

Hardy snorted.

There are many powerful races in the Demon Realm, but if you have to say that the difference between the upper and lower limits is the kobold race.

It is said that the kobold was an ancient red dragon in heat who took the form of a large gecko, and then raped a female gecko, and then the female gecko gave birth to such a thing as a kobold.

It is said to be a kobold, but it is actually a lizard man, but the head looks like a dog, so it is named.

Kobolds are weak, but kobolds, inspired by dragon's blood, are very strong.

It's just two different creatures entirely.

"Where's his lordship?" Hardy asked.

"Fifty kilometers to the north." The Flame Imp pointed in the direction to the left.

Hardy looked at this small village and found that the flame imps here were generally weak, they should be civilians, and they would not participate in the war, so he thought about it and left.

After another hour of walking to the north, I found a huge gathering place in a basin.

Compared with the previous small village, this place is not only dozens of times larger, but even full of life.

Hardy stood on the high ground and could hear the sound of boiling from here.

He opened his nightmare vision and saw a lot of strange races walking the streets and doing business.

Hardy even saw a small number of humans.

Those humans, all with thin faces and muscles, were doing coolies.

Behind him, he was also followed by the flame imp as an overseer, and from time to time he was whipped up.

Hardy's gaze wandered, and he soon found a particularly tall building.

It is completely different from other buildings, with the majesty of the superior.

Hardy was thinking about how to take out the Dragonborn in the city.

Because the war between humans and demons is inevitable, and the Dragonborn are also a very troublesome enemy for humans.

If you kill it first, you may be able to save a lot of your people in the war.

Just as Hardy was thinking about how to attack the city and where to escape, Hardy unexpectedly saw a caravan appear at the entrance of the basin in the distance.

The members of the caravan are all humans.

And it is a very good-complexion, very healthy human being.

"Semites!" Hardy laughed, "Found you so soon." ”
