Chapter 49: The Devil

Smack.

Sophia's sword stabbed into the demon's neck, making a sound similar to the crash of a stone.

"It's useless. ”

With that, the demon swung its fiercely shaped claws and grabbed at Sophia.

-- It's too slow. Sophia rolled sideways, easily deflecting the demon's claw strikes.

The demon's flying claws slammed into the ground, and those vicious claws shattered the ground with a destructive power not inferior to that of a tomahawk.

It is indeed a terrifying destructive power, but the speed is too slow, even from the eyes of ordinary human soldiers, it is not an undodgable speed, as long as it is not attacked, this kind of empty destructive enemy is strong but not impossible to deal with.

The veil of mystery and unknown was removed, and Sophia's fear of the demon in her heart was reduced a lot, and she took advantage of the gap to bully herself again, and stabbed her sword at the side of the demon's head.

"Don't be too arrogant, weak race!"

Twice attacked by Sophia in this untechnical way, the demon was furious. Fighting hard to take Sophia's sword, the claws immediately shot back.

The demon's attack still lacked speed, and Sophia easily dodged it.

Sophia's attack didn't leave even a small wound on the demon's head, which was within the scope of acceptance, after all, even if the legend was exaggerated, the demon was a demon after all, and it was impossible to be really weak enough to be easily killed by humans.

"It's okay to ask a little question. ”

said this, but Sophia didn't have the slightest intention of asking for the other party's opinion, and asked her own question directly.

"You're a superior demon?"

Albert Einstein once said that the merchant named Mephistopheles was a high-ranking demon, and it was right to be prepared for a battle with the high-ranking demon sooner or later, and now was an opportunity to understand the general strength of the high-ranking demon. Actually, you can also ask Einstein, but Sophia hates that black-hearted butler, let alone trusts it.

Hearing Sophia's question, the demon, who had planned to continue attacking, stiffly stopped.

"It's amazing to me that a small race of people knows about our class system. ”

Just like the previous battles were all acting, the demon naturally crouched down, whether it was defenseless or casual, and he didn't feel any battle intent in his casual posture.

"Since you know so much, it would be rude for me not to introduce myself. ”

Sophia watched in amazement as the demon maintained a crouching posture and bowed slightly, obviously looking like a man-eating monster in a novel, but pretending to be polite as if mimicking a human social situation. This nondescript spectacle may seem ridiculous, but Sophia can't laugh, there is nothing more dangerous than a monster with both intellect and strength, which means that her opponent is not a beast that only knows how to do things, but a villain who can use his wits to carry out atrocities.

"I'm the next demon under the demon god Tanatos, Starbucks. ”

“...... It's a very high-sounding name, you can't be a coffee bean, right? But are demons a monster?"

As soon as the demon's voice fell, Lucia's self-talk came from behind Sophia, and she still didn't understand what she meant, I really hoped that the next time this natural stay talked to herself, her voice would be a little lower, at least not so that everyone could hear it.

"Inferior...... ? ”

Is it just a pawn to be able to match yourself...... As long as she thinks that there are many such pawns, Sophia feels that the future is difficult, but it is better than not seeing any hope before, even if there may be a war that breaks the country, it is better than the despair of not being able to resist.

And it's not unacceptable, it's enough to surprise that the demon is weaker than expected, and the requirements above this are a bit inch-in, and from the level of the lower demon, the upper demon is not unmatched, thinking that Sophia's heart that has been hanging in the air since the discovery of the national anomaly can finally be settled.

"I'm done with my questions, let's keep fighting. ”

Sophia said as she prepared a martial art that focused on breaking defenses. After two attacks, Sophia has a rough idea of how thick the defense of this demon named Starbucks is, and as long as she can break through this defense, she can kill this demon.

"Well, wait. ”

Starbucks was like it had lost its energy, and it was still squatting there with no fighting spirit.

"It's almost time for the game to end, I'm not the only one who can smell humans, and it's almost time for those guys to come. ”

Without even glancing at Sophia, who might attack at any time, Starbucks looked directly into the distance.

"Look, it's here as soon as you say it. ”

Looking at Starbucks, there were holes in the walls of the caves, and from too far away, you could only see red lights shining in each hole, and the ominous red light was the demon's unique "karmic fire vein" light.

The light of the karmic fire veins densely spread all over the cave walls, filling all the cave entrances. Each red light represents more than one demon, which means that there are many caves in this cave, and at least there are as many demons as there are.

Things took a turn for the worst in one fell swoop, and the worst case scenario was to face all the demons here. Although she had expected this situation before, Sophia couldn't help but feel a pang of despair.

The centipede-like demon crawled along the wall, half of its body clung to the wall, and the other half of its body hung down, but this half of its body almost hung from the top of the cave to the bottom of the cave, and the eyes at the front of almost the entire body kept swirling between Sophia and Starbucks.

This new centipede seems to be very capable of arousing physical disgust and fear, even if the centipede is actually a demon and not a centipede, the disgust will not be reduced. Sophia quietly took two steps back, trying not to get too close to the disgusting bug.

"What, you're getting the first shot, Starbucks. ”

The centipede spoke, sullen as if under a covers.

"It's the fastest speed, so I can take the lead every time, so I'm really envious. ”

"Nest here all day, just wait and wait every day, the bones are almost glued together, and if you have a new toy, of course, you have to grab it first. ”

Starbucks cracks its mouth at the centipede, revealing a mouthful of terrifying fangs.

"Do you want to rob me?"

Faced with the threat of Starbucks, the centipede's body retracted to part of the roof of the cave.

"No, since you have caught the prey, the prey is yours. ”

With that, the centipede retracted its whole body back to the top of the cave, leaving only one sentence.

"Let's be the audience. ”

- This is the so-called silver lining, right? Sophia smiled bitterly. She also heard the centipede's words word for word while on guard, it would be better if the centipede's words could be fulfilled, it is better to fight with a demon than to be beaten by a group of demons. Although the situation in the face of hundreds of demons has not changed, at least there is room for circumference, and that is enough.

Sophia has no clue, and even if she rehearses it in her head, she only gets a deathly ending.

"Alright, get out of the way. ”

Starbucks chased away the centipede, and his eyes turned back to Sophia, which was still the same.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the demon doesn't have a habit of sharing, so I'll have to take a little time to let them know who's the boss. ”

Starbucks said this and stood up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Sophia always feels that the atmosphere on Starbucks has changed.

"Just now, you seemed relieved when you heard that the opponent was only me?"

Starbucks grinned.

"It's a pitiful thing, toys can only be played with in the game, otherwise they will break quickly. ”

Sophia suddenly had a bad feeling, like she was too caught up in thinking and missed something important.

At this moment, Lucia's unintentional words made Sophia fall into an ice cellar.

"Is that sheep's head fast? I can't see it at all. ”

The kind of speed, which is not incomprehensible even to the average human soldier, if it is the fastest, the demons are too vain.

"It seems to have found it, but unfortunately, even if it did, it wouldn't help, and the toy was still just a toy. ”

Starbucks' figure suddenly came to Sophia.

With a movement in her heart, Sophia hurriedly rolled to the side.

In less than a second after Sophia dodged, the sharp claws plunged into the ground where Sophia was originally standing, and there was no loud sound of flying back, like cutting butter with a knife, silent but unable to question its lethality.

- Is this a demon? Both the speed of the claw swing and the speed of movement are the same as before. Sophia scrambled to her feet from the ground, a slight stinging pain in her shoulder, a wound from the tip of her claws.

Sophia hated her underestimating enemies a little, and was simply deceived by the illusion. There was a slight stinging pain in his shoulder, a wound from the tip of his claw. Both the speed of the claw swing and the movement speed are the same as before.

PS: I really couldn't code it out yesterday, and there will be a change to make up for it later.
