There were eight demons in this group 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 fierce battle, and their bodies were filled with a strong smell of blood.
When they first discovered Fat Tiger, they panicked for a moment, but when they realized that there were only Fat Tiger and no other enemies, they finally reacted and calmed down.
"Don't panic. Leave one to hold off 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, "No, it's so cold here. Could it be the territory of Demon Lord Osiris?"
The demons looked at each other and the environment around them. They felt that it might be true.
"So that's how it is? We actually ran to his territory … "The high-rank demon who spoke first stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. His eyes were greedy." Listen to me. Osiris has already killed Lord Saratos, and we can't go back anymore. Why don't we take this opportunity to loot Osiris's territory and then seek refuge with other demon lords? "
Yes, this group of demons was actually a group of defeated soldiers. They originally belonged to Demon Lord Saratos, who was also Roy's enemy in this war. The war between the two sides lasted for several months, but in the end, Roy broke through Saratos's territory. Roy killed Saratos himself, and the demons under him fled in all directions. After being chased, these demons panicked and actually crossed a few fragment worlds to run to Roy's territory.
"Damn it, this idea of yours is simply stupid!" Hearing this guy's suggestion, another high-rank demon immediately retorted. "If we do this, Osiris will chase us relentlessly when he returns!"
"Hmph, the fragment worlds are so big. Can he know where we're going?" the previous high-rank demon said disdainfully.
"No, either you continue to run or you stay here. I won't agree with your stupid idea, you brainless guy! He's a demon lord, and he can send a large number of Executioners at any time. Where can we escape to? "
"Bastard, you coward. Don't you want revenge after losing so badly this time?!"
"Revenge for who? Don't get me wrong, the lord we're loyal to is dead! "
The demons argued endlessly, but it was mainly the three high-rank demons who were arguing. The other middle-rank demons had no right to speak. Looking at this group of demons, Fat Tiger hesitated. If he were the only one who 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 it!
There were many enemies. Once they fought, Fat Tiger reckoned that he would not have the time to take care of Sareth. If anything happened to Sareth, Master Roy would definitely punish him when he returned …
In Fat Tiger's opinion, the best way was to drive these demons away. It was best not to fight.
But at this moment, Sareth, who had been hiding in Fat Tiger's neck hair, suddenly stood up. He placed one hand on his waist and pointed at the demons below with the other. "Hey! You damned bastards, how dare you come to my foster father's territory? Are you tired of living? Surrender immediately! "
If the high-rank demon who proposed to loot Frostfire City was stupid, then Sareth, who stood up and said this, was simply stupid!
Fat Tiger did not expect Sareth to appear. If he had been hiding, Fat Tiger would still have had room to maneuver. But now that he stood up and spoke, Fat Tiger was immediately stunned …
In Sareth's eyes, his foster father, Osiris, whom he worshipped, was a powerful demon lord, so these ordinary demons should submit to him unconditionally. But he, who had never experienced true fighting and battles, would never know how cruel the Abyss was. This childish brat's thoughts 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 submit as Sareth had imagined, but their eyes shone with a bloodthirsty and ferocious light.
"It's actually a half-demon!!!" the high-rank demon who proposed to attack cried out in surprise and anger.
"Catch him!!" Even the last high-rank demon, who had been silent all this while, stared at Sareth greedily.
Bang! Bang! With two loud bangs, 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. He had powerful magic power, but his mind was blank, and his body could not react at all.
Fortunately, Fat Tiger made the right choice. He turned around and ran!
Carrying Sareth, Fat Tiger ran toward Frostfire City. Although Roy was not in the city now, Lich Cassandra was still there, and she was also a powerful combat force. In addition, there were some demons staying behind. As long as Cassandra led these troops out, it would not be a problem to expel these defeated demons. At the very least, Cassandra could protect Sareth and let Fat Tiger focus on fighting.
As he ran, Fat Tiger raised his head and howled, warning Frostfire City.
"Damn it! Quickly catch that half-demon! " Discovering Fat Tiger's intentions, the three high-rank demons became anxious. They circulated their magic power into their palms and attacked Fat Tiger.
Boom! Boom! Two large fireballs bombarded Fat Tiger in front of him. Fat Tiger did not care about the flying ice fragments caused by the explosions, but the large pit in front of him made him have no choice but to go around it.
The moment Fat Tiger turned, the remaining high-rank demon took this opportunity to move. He accelerated from the sky and swooped down, his sharp demon claws reaching out to grab Sareth.
Seeing this demon claw, Sareth's blank mind finally returned to its senses. After realizing that he could not dodge, he could only muster his courage and shoot a shadow arrow at the other party.
Bang! The shadow arrow hit the high-rank demon's palm and burned it until it was smoking. But Sareth had underestimated this demon from the battlefield. He endured the intense pain and grabbed his neck without slowing down. Then he flapped his wings and flew into the air.
Seeing that Sareth was caught, Fat Tiger could only stop, turn around, spread his wings, and pounce into the air to fight the three high-rank demons.
"Damn it! This dog is actually so powerful?! " In just a few exchanges, the three high-rank demons almost fell, and one of them was almost bitten by Fat Tiger. Although he dodged quickly in the end, and only half of his wings were torn off by Fat Tiger and he managed to escape, the ferocious combat power that Fat Tiger displayed still made the demons suck in a breath of cold air.
"Don't move! Stop! " The demon grabbing Sareth pinched his neck and roared at Fat Tiger, "If you dare to attack again, I'll pinch him to death!"
Hearing this, Fat Tiger could only stop resentfully, fold his wings, and land on the ground.
The three demons also landed at this time. The demon was pinching Sareth's neck, and it was a little difficult for him to breathe, so he kept struggling. The demon stared at Sareth excitedly and laughed sinisterly. "Okay, I finally caught him. Such a small person actually has the level of a middle-rank demon. Should I say that he's 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!"
"That's if he can come back!" The high-rank demon smiled proudly. "Since we've caught you, there's no point in looting Frostfire City. 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 with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, we caught this demon-human together!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The high-rank demon waved his hand. "Of course I know. After we leave this place, we'll discuss how to distribute it …"
Demons coveted the bodies of demon-humans because they knew that demon-humans would not be affected by the repulsive effect of the world. In addition, demon-humans would not be affected by 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 in the high-rank for many years, and they had never had the courage to carry out the promotion ritual and gamble on the success rate of nine out of ten. But it was different now. They actually caught a demon-human child while escaping. This was simply a gift from a demon god …
The malice in the demons' words made Sareth shudder. Only now did he finally feel regret.
At the thought of being taken away by these demons and never seeing his foster father or Mother Cassandra, Sareth felt inexplicable fear. Driven by this fear, Sareth suddenly erupted with powerful magic power.
Kha-Beleth was a flame demon, the overlord of Inferno. 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 was finally activated.
His entire body suddenly burned with raging flames, turning him into a gigantic fireball. The temperature of these flames was quite high. The high-rank demon holding his neck was caught off guard and immediately let out a scream as he subconsciously threw Sareth away.
The sudden eruption of flame power was not inferior to that of a high-rank demon, shocking the three high-rank demons. Realizing that something was wrong, they quickly rushed toward Sareth, wanting to control him again.
However, just as the first demon rushed in front of Sareth and was about to knock him out, his body suddenly left the ground.
A large hand grabbed his head and easily lifted him up, twisting him until he was right in front of the owner of the hand.
When this high-rank demon saw the other party's face clearly, his entire face turned pale, and his eyes revealed unparalleled despair.
"Dark Cry!"
As he spoke, a storm suddenly appeared from this palm and wrapped around the entire body of this high-rank demon. Then it rotated at high speed. The power brought by the high-speed rotation of the storm was like countless sharp blades that rapidly cut this high-rank demon's body. In just two seconds, a large amount of blood and flesh filled the storm. After the storm dissipated, only a pale demon skeleton was left of this high-rank demon …
Such a cruel execution made the remaining two demons disheartened. They trembled as they looked at the tall demon in front of them and said in disbelief, "O … Osiris?!! You … Why did you suddenly … "
Before they finished speaking, a thick bolt of black lightning came at them … Then the two high-rank demons' vision turned black, and they did not know anything …
Fortunately, I made it in time … Roy heaved a sigh of relief after killing the three high-rank demons. At this moment, he was still holding the bloody head of Demon Lord Saratos in his other hand, proving that he had really just rushed back from the battlefield.
It turned out that while the three high-rank demons were still arguing about how to deal with Sareth, Fat Tiger had already taken this opportunity to ask Roy, who was far away in Saratos' territory, for help. After Roy learned through telepathy that something had happened to Sareth, he immediately teleported to Fat Tiger's side through Teleport.
Leaving Fat Tiger in the territory was Roy's backup plan, but he did not expect to really use it. With the cover of Fat Tiger's enormous body, the three high-rank demons did not discover Roy's sudden appearance at all, so Roy caught them.
After easily killing the three high-rank demons, Fat Tiger quickly bit the remaining five middle-rank demons to death. Roy then turned to look at Sareth.
After a short burst of flames, Sareth fell into a coma. Roy got Fat Tiger to pick him up, and as he returned to Frostfire City, he asked Fat Tiger about what had happened through telepathy.
After learning the whole story, Roy could not help but frown.
After this incident, Roy found that Benia was actually right. If this child, Sareth, had stayed in Frostfire City and grown up under his protection, he would probably have been crippled.
Although Roy, Julia, and Cassandra could teach Sareth how to fight, such a church had a fatal flaw, and that was that it could not let him feel the tempering of wandering on the edge of life and death.
It seems like it's time to consider letting this child out to suffer the beating of society … Roy thought.
