Sophocles had two wings, two horns, and a dark gray body that was quite fit. He had hands and feet, and he carried a greatsword on his back.
Sophocles' murky yellow eyes contained complex emotions. He stared at me with eyes that were even larger than mine. His gaze was filled with vigilance.
Apart from the fact that he was slightly larger than me, there was nothing special about him.
"… The airship isn't even as large as his fist. Are you sure that you call that slightly larger?"
"Tsk, so what if he's large? Who knows if he's just an embroidered pillow? "
Sophocles' gigantic head approached the airship's deck, and he breathed out a breath that sounded like lava from hell. However, this breath was actually just the breath of a gigantic demon.
"… Roland, you're still the same as before."
Sophocles' voice almost blew me away. The Saint-ranked Warrior Monks and Legends around me were all stunned by his demonic aura and couldn't move at all.
"Alright, a large one is indeed amazing."
This was different from the day when I met Sophocles at the Hades. Back then, I had the Four Elemental Pillars behind me and countless powerful subordinates. Even Main Gods could be used as cannon fodder. But now, Sophocles' true body had arrived. He was a mega existence capable of destroying an entire country or even an entire continent.
Sophocles' gigantic body reached the clouds just by standing up straight. Just judging by his size, this schemer who was skilled at trickery and deception seemed to be even larger than Donatis, the Chaos War God. He seemed more like a War God.
"Long time no see, Afu. What business do you have with me?"
"Afu? No! I'm Sophocles! The venerated Chaos Main God Sophocles! "
The Demon Main God instantly exploded. The smell of sulfur made me feel like I was inside a volcano. The airship's deck started creaking as cracks spread at a visible rate.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your temper is just as bad as before, Afu."
"Sophocles! I'm Sophocles the Deceiver, Sophocles the Deceiver! The idol of all deceivers and schemers, the wisest demon Sophocles! "
"Alright, Afu."
I shook my head, this guy.
"Sophocles Elostankavin Gast … I almost said my true name. I know you! This is your scheme. You want to trick me into revealing my true demon name! What kind of evil spell is this? Even the wise Sophocles almost fell for it. "
I sighed helplessly. Apart from using exclamation marks, this fellow also seemed to have delusions. Why didn't I realize that he was so funny back then?
"Ah Fu, you're a Great Demon, yet you say others are evil? It's just that your IQ is low, Ah Fu, right? Ah Fu, how are you, Ah Fu? Have you eaten, Ah Fu? How's your mother? Ah Fu. "
The Great Demon slapped its face with its claws, and the sound was like thunder.
The Black Fish Overlord behind him was trembling as it hid behind him, but disaster fell from the sky. The Demon Lord's claw landed, and the Demon Overlord was thrown into his mouth.
Kacha!
Sure enough, when you're in a bad mood, you have to eat a lot. Ah Fu chewed with big mouthfuls and only calmed down after a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, the red light in his eyes had returned to normal. He had already calmed down.
"A 'fu, do you still remember the feeling of being surrounded and beaten up by the Abyss Dragons? Huh?"
Just as I was about to continue teasing him, our "small talk" was interrupted. The white-haired female mage was pitifully tugging on my clothes.
"Milord! Your Highness Roland! "
She pointed at the crumbling airship which was now full of cracks as she begged me with tears in her eyes.
"Please stop teasing Ah Fu. You're fine, but we can't take it anymore … Milord Ah Fu, no, Milord Sophocles, please don't look at me like that! Please don't steal my soul! "
The white-haired female mage's legs kept trembling as the Demon Lord viciously stared at her. She was about to pee … Er, the ground and her mage robe were all wet. It would seem that she had peed already. As a gentleman, it would be best for me to pretend that I didn't see anything.
And so, I gave her a thumbs-up and turned around to smile at the Chaos Main God who was glaring at me angrily.
"Good job, young lady. You're so fearless. I have high hopes for you. Come, let's pee together in front of the Demon Lord. "
As I said that, I really started taking off my pants in front of Sophocles … What? I wasn't a gentleman enough? A true gentleman wouldn't care about such senseless etiquette. I was using practical actions to alleviate the young lady's embarrassment.
Since she was already dirty, then everyone else should be dirty together. That would make it seem like she wasn't too dirty … Well, at least in theory, wouldn't it?
"… Roland, don't even bother trying to anger me. I, Sophocles, am no newbie. I won't lose my rationality over such a small level of provocation."
Before saying that, please let go of the pitiful succubus and four-winged Berserk Demon that you twisted into a dough twist. Also, take care of the pressure that you were emitting. Those demons were all killed by you.
I chuckled and stopped teasing Ah Fu.
Sophocles' guess was correct. From the very start, I had been trying to anger Ah Fu.
Anger was a very interesting emotion. On the battlefield, some people would become more ferocious and powerful because of anger, while others would reveal flaws and become weaker.
If I wasn't mistaken, Ah Fu and I were both the latter. We were warriors who used our brains to calculate. Losing our rationality would only cause flaws in our traps and strategies, greatly weakening our combat strength.
Perhaps angering Sophocles would indeed be rather difficult, but there was nothing wrong with trying. Even if I couldn't completely anger him to the point of losing his rationality, too much anger would still subconsciously or subconsciously affect the accuracy of my actions and the stability of my thoughts.
That's right, I was already fully prepared for battle.
From the moment that I saw Sophocles, I knew that it would be difficult for today's battle to end peacefully. I was already prepared for a cruel battle to the death.
Demons were definitely no good people. Things like "Knight's spirit" or "fair duels" were nothing more than jokes. Demons would unhesitatingly eliminate any enemy that could threaten them.
From the moment that the demon wave arrived, I knew that a Demon Lord would come knocking on my door sooner or later. However, I never expected that Sophocles would be the first to come. I had thought that Sophocles was someone who was used to scheming. Rather than personally taking action, he would feel that using someone else to do his dirty work would be a better way to show off his intelligence and tactics.
I had originally thought that someone like Donatis would come knocking on my door first. I didn't expect that it would be Afu, who had already suffered several times at my hands.
The Dawn Holy Light sword at my waist was humming slightly. It seemed that the prey before it was far too suitable for its taste.
Since I already knew that a Demon Lord would come knocking on my door sooner or later, of course I would be prepared. This Dawn Holy Light sword was definitely a demon's natural enemy. It was always best to use a trump card or trump card the first time it appeared. My Dawn Holy Light sword was truly fortunate to be able to use Afu, the impersonator, as a sacrifice.
I placed my right hand at my waist as my entire body faintly glowed with Holy Light. I had a smile on my face as I prepared myself for a battle to the death.
"Holy Light …"
However, Afu suddenly took a step back.
"Take a look at the situation around you. Do you think that they'll be able to survive if we attack?"
Black smoke was rising from every part of the airship. The deck and the body of the airship were covered in cracks. The powerful guards on the airship were all lying on the ground. Just being in close contact with a Chaos Main God was far too difficult for them.
If even these powerful individuals were in such a state, then it was likely that the ordinary people in the airship's cabins were already heavily injured or dead.
Order Main Gods had their own personal domains of Order. Demons at the level of Demon Lord or higher would have the twisted power of Chaos that would instinctively corrode the surrounding environment. This was just as normal as breathing for them. However, it was already too much for ordinary people to bear.
Of course I could see it. I had been paying attention all this time, but what could I do?
"Ha, actually, I can return what you just said to me. I, Roland, am no newbie. Do you really think that these people can be used as hostages to restrain me? From the moment that you appeared, they were dead for sure. At most, I'll find a chance to make it up to their families and then attack you even more viciously. "
I smiled as I said my threat, but it was the truth.
I would never hold back against a Chaos Main God.
Rather than having so many misgivings about restraining myself from attacking and dying because of the Chaos Main Gods, I would rather pretend that they didn't exist. At most, I would make it up to them in the end.
If a Chaos Main God came, they would die. That would be all.
We didn't hide our conversation from others. The guards who hadn't died yet were looking at me with rather complex expressions. They probably looked at me with hatred and even fear. From a certain standpoint, choosing to board this airship was the cause, and their deaths were the effect. Their hatred wasn't without reason.
Did they have no way to survive? No, they did. And right now, I was trying to fight for their survival.
"… You used Holy Light to break through to SemiGod?"
I lightly flicked the hilt of my sword, causing the blade of Holy Light to shine with a pure light that lit up the entire world. Fu took another step back, this time due to his demon instincts.
"Yeah, I knew that you would come looking for me sooner or later, so of course I had to use Holy Light to break through. Right now, I'm probably the strongest Holy Light Knight in the entire world. "
Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally did his best to squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than crying.
"Actually, I didn't come here today to fight you. I have some things to discuss with you."
I chuckled. Was that really the case? Sophocles' personality wasn't the type to personally fight to begin with. Even if he really wanted to fight me, he definitely would've done so already. How could he possibly let me come out of my cabin and give me time to prepare?
And if I showed even the slightest bit of fear or guilt, he definitely wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. At the very least, a probing battle would be unavoidable. Only if I acted like I was willing to kill him at all costs and had an ace card in my hand that he couldn't see through would he give up on probing me and directly talk business with me.
Angering him and forcing him to attack was actually because I had seen through his suspicious personality. I acted like I was confident in killing him, scaring him into not attacking or even probing me.
That was the only chance for the passengers to survive.
And since I was fighting for that chance for them …
"Fu, let's talk somewhere else."
"Sophocles! I'm Sophocles, not some damned Fu! "
"Alright, Fu. I'll remember Fu. No need to repeat yourself, Fu. "
"You bastard who deserves to be burned to death by Holy Light. Do whatever you want!"
