"My name is Mephistopheles and I'm a businessman. ”

That's what the man who saved Zhang Yao said so.

"As I said, I'm a businessman, so naturally I can't help you for free, and of course, I don't want you to give me money, after all, saving people from the families of evil gods is an astronomical amount of money. ”

Zhang Yao, who hadn't figured out what the situation was now, couldn't even listen to Mephistopheles's words much, he just looked blankly at the guy in front of him who claimed to be a businessman.

Regaria was different, he stared at Mephistopheles carefully for a moment before saying.

"Although you are well disguised, the smell of demons on your body can't hide it. ”

It was like confirmation, and it was like saying it to Zhang Yao, he said with a heavy tone.

"You're a demon, aren't you? ”

Mephistopheles smiled at Regaria, then reached out and slashed at him before he could react, and a black hole suddenly appeared under his feet, and I don't know if it was because of the loss of strength after the fierce battle, Regalia and Sasha fell into the hole without resistance.

Zhang Yao reacted too late, he was lying on his stomach at the entrance of the cave and looking down, he couldn't see anything but the boundless darkness, let alone the figures of Regalia and Sasha.

Zhang Yao, who was a step slower, could only glare at Mephistopheles angrily, and he couldn't do anything else, he looked so pale and powerless in front of Mephistopheles.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking them to wait in another place and complete the transaction between me and you before they arrive. ”

Unlike Zhang Yao's bravado, Mephistopheles is calm and personable, and it really doesn't make people feel that he has any malice.

There was no way to take Mephistopheles, and he really didn't have any value worth the other party's trouble to deceive, so Zhang Yao planned to listen to what Mephistopheles wanted to do when he saved a useless mortal like himself.

seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Yao's cooperation, Mephistopheles waved his hand, and a table full of meals and tea appeared, Zhang Yao was not polite, grabbed it and ate it.

As Zhang Yao gulped down the cake in his mouth, Mephistopheles said.

"I saved you in the hope that you would be able to accomplish one thing for me, and that was to kill Abraham Morgan, who had already entered the path to godhood. ”

This extremely familiar name made Zhang Yao pause slightly, it was really just that, but Mephistopheles knew that Zhang Yao would definitely agree.

Zhang Yao, who had filled his stomach, wiped his hands on his clothes before answering in a pretending lazy tone.

"You also said that he has already embarked on the path to godhood, so how can a mortal like me kill him? ”

"Of course I know it's not something that can be said casually, so I'll give you two weapons. ”

Mephistopheles pulled towards nothing, and as he withdrew his hand, a long red and black sword appeared in his hand.

"One is a magic sword forged in hell with demonic iron and then sacrificed with the blood of countless demons, which gives you the power to threaten the gods. ”

Again, Mephistopheles grabbed something invisible in front of him and pushed it in the direction of Zhang Yao, feeling that something was hitting him, Zhang Yao hurriedly caught it, only then did he see that it was an exaggerated black full-body armor, the armor was not forged from metal, but some kind of material with a greasy luster like an insect carapace.

"The second is the armor made from the carapace of the Demon King Azmodan, which can be infinitely regenerated, and it allows you to protect yourself from the attacks of the gods. ”

After giving away the two pieces of equipment without hesitation, Mephistopheles smiled at Zhang Yao.

"With these two pieces of equipment, even if it is a god-killing demon slayer, and not only that, I will also lend you my power so that you have the ability to fight the gods on an equal footing. Well, mortals can kill gods, right?"

Both pieces of equipment were treasures that could be called artifacts, but Zhang Yao only felt that the doubts were heavier.

"Since you have weapons, armor, and the strength to fight God, then you can just go yourself, just an Abraham, you can kill it very easily. ”

"That's right, it's very easy for me to kill Mephistopheles. ”

Mephistopheles didn't shy away from this.

"But that's not how the game works, and if someone doesn't allow me to play in person, then I'll have to find a pawn to do it for me. ”

In the past, Zhang Yao would probably be angry if he was called a chess piece, but now his attention is all on the key points revealed in Mephistopheles's words. Someone didn't allow Mephistopheles to make a move, and there were very few people who could restrain such a powerful demon, and the first thing Zhang Yao thought of was Lucia.

Mephistopheles didn't care what Zhang Yao was speculating about, and even that little bit of information was deliberately revealed by him. He just wanted to see if such an inconsequential move could turn the whole game around at a critical moment.

"Well, have you figured it out, I think this deal is beneficial for both of us, you shouldn't say no, right?"

Gathering his thoughts, Zhang Yao held the armor with one hand and took the magic sword in Mephistopheles' hand with the other.

"Of course, I accept it. ”

Whether he was deceived by this demon or used as a pawn on the chessboard, he would do anything to kill Abraham. Even if there was no Mephistopheles, he would have figured out how to deal with Abraham on his own, so what if there was a helper in front of him? As Mephistopheles said, it's a win-win, so why not accept it.

The deal was established to the satisfaction of both parties, Zhang Yao put on the armor and held the magic sword, and the next step was to 'seize' Mephistopheles' power.

It took two days to finally complete the transfer of power, and unlike Regalia, Mephistopheles didn't look weak, still with the same personable demeanor. He made a final admonition to Zhang Yao.

"You can withstand my power for only one day, and beyond a day, your body will be corrupted by the power of the devil, and as for the result of corrosion...... If you expect something in the plot where you also become a demon, you will definitely be disappointed, unless there is some more exaggerated power effect, otherwise the barrier between humans and demons is not so easy to break, and generally you will not become a demon, but a mess of rotten meat, living rotten meat. ”

Without Mephistopheles going on, Zhang Yao could understand what kind of torture it was. Because Mephistopheles mentioned this, Zhang Yao suddenly became a little curious.

"Is there any kind of human who breaks down barriers and becomes demons?"

I don't know why, Zhang Yao felt that the smile on Mephistopheles' face became distorted after hearing this, like mockery and nostalgia.

"Absolutely. ”
