Blackie tugged at Chen Zhao. "Let's move away. Otherwise, we'll be affected by them."
Chen Zhao glanced at the three demons and decided to move away.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky again, just like the dark clouds in the living room last night, but with a larger area.
Carrie's appearance didn't change, but she did seem to be more powerful than before.
The three demons started fighting. They didn't have destructive power, but the battle scene that wasn't created with special effects was still shocking.
A ten-meter-long snake and a Shar Pei that was even bigger than a tiger were frantically dodging the hail falling from the sky.
Carrie didn't move at all. She stood where she was and used her snowstorm power to block Raymond and Beelzebub.
She was like a snow elf. She stood there proudly, surrounded by ice and snow.
"Why do I feel like as subordinates of the seven deadly sins, Beelzebub and Raymond are so weak? They're not even as strong as Carrie."
At least, Chen Zhao thought that Carrie's snowstorm power was gorgeous.
"That's not how power is compared." Blackie watched from the side. "They can't show their true power, so it looks like Beelzebub and Raymond aren't as strong as Carrie. In fact, they're about the same. Beelzebub and Raymond's subordinates are even stronger than Carrie's."
"I only believe what I see."
Chen Zhao couldn't understand how demons calculated their power.
Wasn't strength determined through fighting?
How could a single battle not show their strength?
"They can fight their own battles. Bring me to your castle."
When Blackie brought Chen Zhao to the front of the castle, the drawbridge slowly lowered.
After crossing the bridge, they reached the gate. There were two standing armors on both sides.
Chen Zhao glanced at the armors. "Is this armor a decoration? Or something else? It gives me goosebumps. "
"This was left behind by the original owner. The original Soulbringer should be from the end of the Middle Ages, so most of the decorations here are medieval. For example, these two headless horsemen."
"These are headless horsemen?"
Of course Chen Zhao had heard of headless horsemen. They were famous in the West.
However, shouldn't the Headless Horseman have a Nightmare Warhorse?
"Yes, but to put it bluntly, the Headless Knight is the soul of a knight who has been beheaded. It is imprisoned in this armor and fused with the armor. If the armor is destroyed, then their soul will also die."
"Do they have their own consciousness?"
"No, they're just puppets. They'll do whatever I tell them to do."
From the depths of the castle's passageway came the sound of heavy breathing. It didn't sound like a human's.
"What's inside?"
"Little San, come out and let my friend take a look."
A dog that was much bigger than Beelzebub slowly walked out of the shadows. It had three heads.
"Three-headed Hellhound?"
"Tsk tsk … Its appearance seems to be especially intimidating to you humans."
"It's not a three-headed hellhound?"
"If you say yes, then yes, then no."
"What do you mean?"
"The three-headed hellhound that you humans understand usually refers to Elberus, the watchdog of Hell in Greek mythology. In fact, the three-headed hellhound is just a species created by demons. There's more than one. As long as you have enough raw materials, you can have as many as you want. Apart from being infertile, their habits are similar to regular dogs."
"What about food?"
"Anything smaller than it can be its food."
Its three heads stuck out their tongues. It was indeed very similar to a real dog.
"You named it Little San?"
"What do you think? Am I talented at naming things?"
"Does it like the name?"
"I think so."
"That's good. It's just like how I named you Blackie. It's more important that you can accept it. It doesn't matter if the name is good or not."
Chen Zhao took out a fingernail-sized demonic crystal. "Little San, here. This is for you."
Demonic crystals were irresistible to any demon or demon-related species. It was the same for the three-headed hellhound.
Little San's middle head was one step ahead. It licked with its tongue and the demonic crystal was snatched away.
The other two heads looked at Chen Zhao with resentment. Chen Zhao was confused. "Do these three heads have one mind or three?"
"Three. They only have one body, but they have three minds."
"I see." Chen Zhao took out two more demonic crystals.
The middle head still wanted to snatch it, but Chen Zhao slapped it away. "Give it to your two brothers. They've already eaten one."
Since their habits were similar to dogs, Chen Zhao wasn't worried that they would attack him.
Chen Zhao trusted dogs. At least, he trusted dogs more than his own kind.
"Oh, since they have three minds, one name isn't enough. You need to give them two more names."
"Little One, Little Two, what do you think?"
"Good, very good. You're really talented at naming things."
"Then you're Little One, you're Little Two, and it's Little Three." Blackie counted from left to right and assigned the names clearly.
The three-headed hellhounds were clearly very cheerful. They didn't care if the names were ugly.
"Is it from the previous owner too?"
"No, it's my creation."
At the end of the passage, Chen Zhao suddenly stopped. There was a ring-shaped pit in front of him. It was filled with bones and there was a wooden bridge over it.
"What's going on?"
"The previous owner's bad taste. He once showed it to the world. He should be the origin of necromancers. He injected his soul into these skeletons so that they could move temporarily. Ignorant humans gave him the title of necromancer."
"Can you Soulbringers appear before people?"
"That depends on strength. I can't, but those powerful and ancient Soulbringers can."
"How old are you?"
"One hundred."
"How long do you Soulbringers live?"
"About five hundred. Some can live longer, but it's hard for them to live more than a thousand."
"Then you're a young person in your race, right?"
Blackie nodded. "Oh, let me show you the previous owner's lab."
"Lab?"
"Yes. You know that most of us are loners, but we also feel lonely, so we'll do something we're interested in when we're free, like research or learning."
Blackie brought Chen Zhao into the lab. Chen Zhao saw that the lab was covered in cobwebs and there were many jars on the shelves.
Most of these jars were filled with green liquid, and there were strange creatures floating in them.
