Chapter 391 The Brat Should Be Beaten
Of the eight demons that suddenly appeared, three of them were high-rank demons with four wings on their backs, and the other five were middle-rank demons. They seemed to have experienced a brutal battle, and their bodies were full of the strong smell of blood.
When they first discovered Fat Tiger, they panicked. But when they found that Fat Tiger was alone without any other enemies, they regained their senses and calmed down.
“Don’t panic. Leave one to hold back this big dog. The rest, leave quickly!” one of the high-rank demons said.
But at this moment, another high-rank demon looked around and said thoughtfully, “It’s so cold here. Is this the territory of Demon Lord Osiris?”
The demons looked at each other and the surrounding environment and felt that it might be true.
“Is that so? We actually ran to his territory…” The high-rank demon who spoke first stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips as his eyes lit up with greed. “Listen to me. Osiris has already killed Lord Saratos. We can’t go back anymore. Why don’t we seize this opportunity to plunder Osiris’s territory and then join another demon lord?”
Yes, this group of demons was actually a group of defeated soldiers. They were originally subordinates of Demon Lord Saratos, the enemy who Roy had fought this time. The war between the two sides lasted for a few months, but Roy finally broke through Saratos’s territory and killed Saratos himself. The demons under him fled in all directions. This group panicked after being hunted down and actually crossed a few fragment worlds to run to Roy’s territory.
“Damn it! Your idea is so stupid!” Hearing this guy’s suggestion, another high-rank demon immediately refuted. “If we do this, when Osiris returns, he’ll hunt us down to the death!”
“Hmph. The fragment worlds are so vast. How can he know where we’re going?” the high-rank demon said disdainfully.
“No. Either continue running or stay here. I won’t agree with your stupid idea, you brainless idiot! He’s a demon lord, and he can send out a large number of executioners at any time. Where can we escape to?” “Bastard. You coward, we lost so miserably this time. Don’t you want revenge?!”
“Revenge for whom? Haven’t you realized that the lord we’re loyal to is dead!”
The demons were arguing incessantly, but it was mainly the three high-rank demons who were arguing. The middle-rank demons did not have the right to speak. Fat Tiger was hesitating as he looked at these demons. If it were just him who had only encountered these demons here, he would not hesitate to attack them and kill them for Master Roy. But the problem was…
Sareth was still on him!
There were many enemies, so once they fought, Fat Tiger would unlikely have the time to take care of Sareth. If anything happened to him, Master Roy would definitely punish him when he returned…
According to Fat Tiger’s idea, the best way was to drive these demons away and not fight.
But at this moment, Sareth, who had been hiding in the fur on Fat Tiger’s neck, suddenly stood up. With one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the demons below, he ordered arrogantly, “Hey! You damn guys actually dare to come to my foster father’s territory. Are you tired of living? Surrender immediately!”
If the high-rank demon who proposed to plunder Frostfire City was stupid, then Sareth, who stood up and said this, was simply brainless!
Fat Tiger did not expect Sareth to appear. If he had kept hiding, Fat Tiger could still deal with them. But now that he stood up and spoke, Fat Tiger was dumbfounded…
In Sareth’s eyes, his foster father, Osiris, whom he worshipped, was a powerful demon lord, so these ordinary demons should surrender to his foster father unconditionally. But he, who had never experienced real battles, had no idea how cruel the Abyss was. This naive and childish thought immediately brought him and Fat Tiger immense trouble!
After these demons raised their heads and saw Sareth’s arrogant appearance, not only did they not lower their heads and surrender as Sareth had imagined, but their eyes instead emitted a bloodthirsty and savage light.
“It’s actually a demon-human hybrid?!!!” the high-rank demon who suggested attacking shouted in both surprise and anger.
“Catch him!!” Even the last high-rank demon who had not said anything stared at Sareth with greedy eyes.
Bang! Bang! The three high-rank demons spread their wings, stomped on the ground, and flew toward Fat Tiger’s head like cannonballs!
Feeling the surging malice of the demons and seeing the ugly and cruel expressions on their faces, Sareth was scared silly. Even with his powerful magic power, his mind was blank, and his body could not react at all.
Fortunately, Fat Tiger made the right choiceturn around and run!
Carrying Sareth, Fat Tiger ran toward Frostfire City. Although Roy was not in the city now, Lich Cassandra was still there, and she was a powerful combat force. In addition, there were some demons who remained behind. As long as Cassandra brought these troops out, it would not be a problem to expel these defeated demons. At worst, Cassandra could protect Sareth and let Fat Tiger focus on fighting.
As he ran, Fat Tiger raised his heads and howled, warning Frostfire City.
“Damn it! Quickly capture that hybrid!” Seeing Fat Tiger’s intentions, the three high-rank demons were anxious. They circulated their magic power into their palms and attacked Fat Tiger.
Boom! Boom! Two huge fireballs bombarded the front of Fat Tiger. He did not care about the flying ice fragments brought by the explosion, but the large pit blasted out in front of him forced him to go around it.
But the moment Fat Tiger turned, the remaining high-rank demon took the opportunity to move. He accelerated and swooped down from the sky, and his sharp demon claw reached out to grab Sareth.
When Sareth saw this demon claw, his blank mind finally recovered. After realizing that he could not avoid it, he could only muster his courage and open his mouth to shoot a shadow arrow at the enemy.
Bang! The shadow arrow slammed into the palm of the high-rank demon, burning his palm until it was sizzling with smoke. But Sareth had underestimated this demon who had come from the battlefield. The demon endured the severe pain and grabbed Sareth’s neck without slowing down. Then he flapped his wings and flew into the air.
Seeing that Sareth was captured, Fat Tiger could only stop and turn around urgently. He spread his wings and flew into the air to fight the three high-rank demons.
“Damn it! This dog is so powerful?!” In just a few exchanges, the three high-rank demons had almost lost. Fat Tiger nearly bit one of them into one of his mouths. Although he managed to dodge quickly and escape, and Fat Tiger could only tear off a small portion of his wings, the fierce combat strength that Fat Tiger displayed still made the demons gasp. “Don’t move! Stop!” The demon holding Sareth grabbed his neck and shouted at Fat Tiger, “If you dare to move again, I’ll crush his neck!”
Hearing the other party’s words, Fat Tiger could only stop resentfully, fold his wings, and land on the ground.
The three demons also landed. The demon was clutching Sareth’s neck hard, making it difficult for him to breathe, causing him to struggle. The demon stared at Sareth excitedly and laughed. “Good, I finally caught you. You’re so young, yet you’re already at the middle-rank demon level. Should I say that you’re worthy of being a Child of Taboo?”
“Let go of me!” Sareth struggled and shouted, “You bastards! When my foster father returns, he won’t let you off!”
“He has to come back first!” The high-rank demon smiled proudly. “Since we’ve caught you, robbing Frostfire City is meaningless. As long as we leave now, your demon lord foster father will never be able to find me!”
Hearing this high-rank demon’s words, the other two high-rank demons said unhappily, “Hey, we caught this hybrid together!”
“Don’t worry!” The high-rank demon waved his hand. “Of course I know. After leaving this place, let’s discuss how to distribute…”
The demons coveted the bodies of the demon-human hybrids because they knew that these hybrids would not be affected by the world repulsive effect. In addition, hybrids would not have any bottlenecks. As long as they had enough magic power, they could easily promote all the way. These three high-rank demons had been stuck at the high-rank level for many years, and they had never had the courage to carry out the promotion ritual, in which the success rate was so low that almost everyone died. But it was different now. They had actually caught a demon-human child while escaping. This was simply a gift from the demon god…
Sareth shuddered at the malice in the demons’ words. At this moment, he finally felt regret.
When he thought about how these demons would take him away and that he would never see his foster father or Mother Cassandra again, he felt inexplicable fear. Driven by this fear, he suddenly burst out with powerful magic power.
Kha-Beleth was a flame demon, the Inferno Overlord, so Sareth naturally had this bloodline in his body, but he had never shown it before. Now, the flame demon bloodline hidden in Sareth’s body finally activated.
His entire body suddenly blazed with raging flames, turning him into a giant fireball. The temperature of the flames was extremely high, and the high-rank demon holding his neck was caught off guard as he let out a scream and subconsciously threw him away.
This sudden burst of flame power was no less than that of a high-rank demon, startling the three high-rank demons. Realizing that things were bad, they quickly rushed toward Sareth, wanting to regain control of him.
However, when the first demon rushed in front of Sareth and wanted to knock him out, his body suddenly left the ground.
A large hand squeezed his head, easily lifted him up, and twisted him around to face the owner of this hand.
When this high-rank demon saw the other party’s face, his entire face turned pale, and his eyes revealed unparalleled despair.
“Darkness Lamentation!”
As his voice fell, a storm suddenly appeared from this palm, enveloped the entire body of this high-rank demon, and then spun at high speed. The power brought about by the high-speed rotation of the storm was like countless sharp blades that quickly cut this high-rank demon’s body. In just two seconds, a large amount of blood and minced meat filled the storm. After the storm dissipated, the only thing that remained of this high-rank demon was a pale demon skeleton…
Such a cruel execution made the remaining two high-rank demons lose all hope. They trembled as they looked at the tall demon in front of them and said in disbelief, “O-Osiris?! How… how did you suddenly…”
Before they could finish speaking, a thick bolt of black lightning smote them… Then the two high-rank demons’ vision turned black and no longer knew anything…
Fortunately, I made it in time… After killing the three high-rank demons, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, his other hand was still holding the bloody head of Demon Lord Saratos, proving that he had really just rushed back from the battlefield.
It turned out that when the three high-rank demons were still arguing about how to deal with Sareth, Fat Tiger had taken this opportunity to call for help from Roy, who was far away in Saratos’s territory. After Roy learned through telepathy that something had happened to Sareth, he immediately teleported to Fat Tiger.
Leaving Fat Tiger in the territory was Roy’s backup plan, but he did not expect to really use it. With Fat Tiger’s enormous body as cover, the three high-rank demons did not notice Roy’s sudden appearance, so he caught them off guard.
After Roy easily killed three high-rank demons, Fat Tiger quickly bit the remaining five middle-rank demons to death. Roy then turned to look at Sareth. After that short burst of flames, Sareth fell into a coma. Roy got Fat Tiger to pick Sareth up and returned to Frostfire City while asking Fat Tiger what happened through telepathy.
After knowing what happened, Roy could not help but frown.
After this incident, Roy found that Benia was actually right. If this child Sareth continued to stay in Frostfire City and grew up under his protection, he would probably become crippled.
Although Roy, Julia, and Cassandra could teach Sareth how to fight, such teachings had a fatal flaw-it could not let him receive and feel the sharpening of being on the verge of life and death.
It seems like it’s time to consider letting this child go out to undergo the beatings of society… Roy thought.
