Chen Rui's heart sank: Didn't Fatilu escape from the valley with Freya and head to the Bloody Vine Flower City? How did she fall into Azgalor's hands?
Azgalor glanced at the chaotic scene around him and dropped Fatilu and Freya in his hands. The threatening light in his eyes shone brightly, "Who are you?"
Chen Rui's mind turned sharply. Just now, Azgalor had seen me launch the signal flare and intercept it. It was already impossible to deny certain things. Not to mention that the signal was intercepted before it was completely sent out. I don't know if Catherine can receive it. Now, I can only try to escape as soon as possible.
A cold light flashed in Azgalor's eyes, "Answer or die!"
Chen Rui only felt a terrifying breath pressing toward him instantly. Even with the [Scorching Dragon Possession] and the equipment on his body, he actually couldn't resist it. His body suddenly trembled, and this breath was still getting stronger. The huge pressure from all directions made him feel suffocated. It was like a bow that was pulled into a full circle that could be snapped at any time.
Except for those legendary God-level or Demi-God, the Demon Overlord-level powerhouse was indeed the peak existence of the Demon Realm's pyramid!
This wasn't the first time he faced a Demon Overlord. Previously, there were the Earth Elemental King, Glorfin, Christina, Catherine, Paglio, Manu, and the crystal dragon.
However, Glorfin and the Earth Elemental King had been fighting each other for 400 years, so his state was extremely weak. When Christina's Nirvana ended, he was already delirious. Catherine's power was only briefly felt in the mechanic finals. Paglio's power was sealed. Neither the crystal dragon nor Manu had shown their true power.
Only now was it the first time he faced a Demon Overlord-level enemy, Azgalor!
"Richard." Chen Rui finally said two words. Now that there was a great disparity in strength, he was absolutely unmatched. He must seize the time to escape. At present, he couldn't protect himself. As for Freya, he could only try to rescue her later.
Before going to the Mystic Valley to deal with Sabrina and Izola, Chen Rui used a skill in the Nightmare Valley's lab, [Star Gate].
[Star Gate (Active Skill) – After setting up a Star Point, you can open the [Star Gate] within the effective range to return to the Star Point. Only the user can use it. The Star Point is effective for a maximum of one month and can be used repeatedly. The star point's setting cost 1,000 auras, and each use cost 500 auras.
The star point was set up in a hidden place outside the Crystal Valley. It was set up when Sabrina accompanied him out of the valley to "study" Dragon Inscription a few days ago. At that time, he immediately returned with Sabrina after the "study", so it didn't cause any suspicion. Unfortunately, the [Star Gate] couldn't be used by the person himself, so he could only let Freya leave with Fatilu.
This place wasn't too far from the lab. It was just a few moments of running. However, this "close" distance now was really as far as the horizon. It was enough for Azgalor to kill him thousands of times.
Therefore, Chen Rui couldn't act rashly, and he couldn't let Azgalor discover this last retreat. "Dark Will" wasn't very useful in this Crystal Valley full of Dragon Inscription. The location and distance that could be teleported were extremely limited. Besides, even if it could be teleported, it might not be effective in front of Demon Overlord-level power.
He remembered when he was in the underground world of Mountain Xilang, "Dark Will" couldn't play a role in Glorfin's territory. Even Broc had the ability to limit the teleportation ability of this equipment.
"Richard? The chaos in the Crystal Valley was created by you, right? Also, the blood on your body … it's Sabrina's smell. "Azgalor's scrutinizing gaze had a cold murderous intention as he locked onto Chen Rui tightly." No wonder I felt that Izola and Sabrina's flame of life disappeared. They all died in your hands? "
Chen Rui was taken aback. He didn't expect Azgalor to have this kind of perception mystic art. This time, it's over. After learning that both of his wives died in my hands, I'm afraid he will immediately kill them. There was already a little golden man in the hand behind his back. It was the [War Puppet] that Christina gave him, the gold grade.
Can this puppet block Azgalor's attack? There's no other way. I can only take a gamble!
Although Fatilu and Freya on the ground couldn't move, they were still conscious. Fatilu was fine, but when Freya heard the news of Sabrina's death, her mind couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder the [Soul Shackles] that I've been suppressing suddenly disappeared. Previously, Master "Arthur" said that he would help me and Kia remove the [Soul Shackles], but I didn't expect that he would actually kill Sabrina! Since Azgalor said that Sabrina was killed by this stranger, could it be between this person and Master "Arthur" …
However, the murderous intention gradually disappeared. Azgalor spoke again, "I can spare you."
Chen Rui's hand that was holding the golden puppet tightened. I can even spare the revenge of killing my wife?
"You must exchange your life with something of equal value, such as …" Azgalor's gaze fell on Fatilu on the ground, "God-Eating Mask?"
Sure enough, the puppet technique of the "God-Eating Mask" couldn't be hidden from Azgalor. He definitely knew that the puppet technique was irreversible. Including Fatilu, it was the revenge of killing his wife and daughter. Chen Rui thought quickly and shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean."
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying pressure around his body suddenly increased. Chen Rui felt as if the blood vessels in his body were about to burst. The [Dark Star Territory] that still had a time limit appeared again, and the pressure was suddenly reduced a lot.
Azgalor frowned slightly. This territory is a bit strange. With my Demon Overlord-level power, I actually can't completely suppress it. This guy whose power can only be regarded as barely reaching the early stage of the Demon Emperor (actually, the estimation is wrong) can have such a strange territory. His potential is not small.
"I have studied the puppet technique for 200 years and made countless puppets, but most of them ended in failure. A puppet like this has its own dominant consciousness and can faithfully execute all the orders of the master. There is no possibility of betrayal at all. "Azgalor's gaze fell on Fatilu. His strange gaze seemed to be looking at a valuable puppet instead of his own daughter," Except for the "God-Eating Mask", there is nothing in this world that can make such a perfect puppet! "
"If I have the" God-Eating Mask "and can even use it, can it prove my certain status in the Beelzebub Royal Family?" Chen Rui's mind moved, and he changed it a few times in a row. Various magics such as [Earth Wall], [Ground Spike], [Gravity] and so on alternately appeared. They were all launched silently, proving to Azgalor that the Beelzebub Royal Family was proficient in some way.
"Sure enough …" Azgalor's eyes were intertwined with fanaticism and coldness, "But it's useless. No matter who you are, or who your father is, or even whether you are recognized by the" God-Eating Mask ", there is always only one King of Beelzebub, and that is me! You have no way to save your life except to hand over the "God-Eating Mask" now. "
"There is only hope when there is life." Chen Rui pretended to ponder, "I promise you, but the mask is not with me. Can we talk about the conditions in detail?"
"I can see that you are a scheming person." Azgalor's tone became more gloomy, "But I don't have this patience. I prefer to prove my determination with action."
As soon as this sentence was said, Fatilu and Freya's bodies floated up together. Immediately afterward, Fatilu's body began to tremble violently. With a "bang", she actually burst open. Nothing was left of her.
Chen Rui's pupils shrank. Even if she is a puppet, she is my own daughter after all. Azgalor actually destroyed Fatilu without hesitation!
"Not to mention that she has the bloodline of Leviathan, even if she is Beelzebub, it is useless. Since she has become your puppet, she has no value … Or rather, proving my determination now is the only value she has left." Azgalor's gaze fell on Freya, "This woman is not a puppet, but she can be taken away by a puppet. She must be of great value to you. Do you need me to prove it again?"
"No need." Chen Rui's heart sank. Azgalor's cruelty and coldness are far beyond imagination. For the "God-Eating Mask", he can even abandon the hatred of his wife and daughter. He even destroyed his own daughter with his own hands. Even if he pretended to be related to Glorfin, he still couldn't escape.
Judging from the current situation, it was unrealistic to use the "God-Eating Mask" as a bargaining chip to take Freya away. Azgalor would definitely kill him immediately after getting the mask. Not to mention that the "God-Eating Mask" had been integrated into the Super System. He still didn't know how to get rid of the mask.
"Can you let me think about it?" Chen Rui looked dignified and glanced at Freya, "This woman is indeed a bit valuable, but compared with my life, it is simply insignificant, but …" God-Eating Mask "… You also know what it means to us. In this kind of place, it is impossible to bring it with you, but I can tell you the whereabouts of the artifact."
"One minute." Azgalor didn't give him time to use his eloquence.
It seemed that he couldn't delay any longer. Chen Rui took a deep breath, and there was suddenly something in his hand behind his back. It turned out that many crystal men had already approached this side.
Azgalor raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't expect that even the puppet's heart is in your hands! I think I already understand your answer. "
"Don't worry. Even if it hasn't been a minute, I want to see the Demon Overlord-level strength first." Chen Rui had made up his mind. Several crystal men rushed toward Azgalor together, and he was ready to wait for the opportunity to escape.
Azgalor didn't even look at the surrounding crystal men who rushed over. He stretched out a finger and drew a circle. Affected by some kind of power, a faint wave of smoke and dust spread on the ground. This kind of force field seemed plain and insignificant, but the movements of the crystal men in the range all froze. Almost in the blink of an eye, the crystal men burst open at the same time.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. Two of these crystal men were chief-level, which was the Great Demon King. He didn't expect that they were easily killed by a finger in seconds. Meanwhile, Azgalor's eyes were locked tightly on him. The invisible spirit pressure almost made him feel like he was about to surrender.
Due to the great importance of the "God-Eating Mask", even though this enemy was only a Demon Emperor, the Demon Realm had many self-destruction secret techniques, including the "result" of the Mystic Valley. If he was determined to die, the loss outweighed the gain.
Judging from the other party's stubborn resistance, Azgalor's wishful thinking of getting the artifact first or threatening the whereabouts had failed. He could only cast [Confinement] at lightning speed.
Azgalor made up his mind and ignored Freya who fell to the ground. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Chen Rui, grabbing toward him. Chen Rui only felt that the surrounding space seemed to be distorted, and his body could hardly move. Fortunately, he didn't use teleportation in the battle with Sabrina previously. With a thought, he instantly appeared in the distance.
Azgalor looked surprised. This grab contained some kind of mysterious power of law. Even the Great Demon's talent, [Teleportation], couldn't be performed. He didn't expect this "clansman" actually had such a mutated talent that could pass through the Demon Overlord-level law and teleport to a safe place.
Although he was surprised, the difference in strength between the 2 sides was so huge. Azgalor still had absolute confidence to take down Richard Beelzebub easily.
In any case, there was only one owner of the King of Gluttony and the artifact, and that was him, Azgalor. Beelzebub.
The direction of Chen Rui's teleportation was the Nightmare Valley. The teleportation distance after [Scorching Dragon Possession] was far better than the normal state, but there was still a distance from the lab in the Nightmare Valley. As long as he could enter the [Star Gate] in the lab, he would definitely be able to escape danger.
As for Freya, he was indeed helpless this time, but he had already said that Freya had considerable value. He believed that as long as he could escape successfully, Azgalor would definitely spare her life for the sake of the "God-Eating Mask".
If Chen Rui was caught, perhaps Freya's life would be in danger instead.
If he relied on teleportation alone, he definitely couldn't reach the destination. This journey was really a matter of life and death.
Azgalor only took one step to cross the distance of Chen Rui's teleportation and grabbed again. However, the opponent's teleportation skill that could transcend the law appeared again and dodged his grab again.
"Interesting!" Azgalor said faintly, and the murderous intention in his heart was even stronger. This kind of mysterious skill, this kind of powerful potential, and that very likely special "identity" – this person must not be left alive. Otherwise, he will be the biggest threat to his ruling position in the Beelzebub Royal Family.
Chen Rui didn't know that he had innocently become the biggest thorn in the side of the King of Beelzebub. In fact, he didn't want to use up 2 teleportation so soon, but there was no way to make a choice at all because the opponent's movements and the pressure caused by it were too great. If his mind was slower by a second, he would be caught.
Now that the 2 teleportation had been used up, Chen Rui immediately poured his power into the gold-rank [War Puppet] given by Christina without thinking, then he threw it at Azgalor.
Azgalor only felt a golden light coming toward him. As he was about to break it, he suddenly had a warning in his heart. With a thought, he disappeared on the spot and retreated. The golden light turned into a two-meter-tall human figure that attacked Azgalor.
Chen Rui had seen the bronze-rank [War Puppet] that Christina and Casillas, who were from the Lust Royal Family, used. They were all in a very huge form with a height of at least 5 meters. However, this gold-rank puppet seemed a lot smaller. It was almost the same shape as a real person. Its eyes also emitted a faint red light, but the rest of its facial features were very blurred. There were many strange totem-like patterns engraved on its body.
"Golden puppet!" Azgalor blurted out. He was naturally a knowledgeable person. The golden puppet was the highest grade of the Asmodeus Royal Family's [War Puppet]. It had the combat power to compete with Demon Overlord, and it was extremely difficult to deal with.
Could it be that "Richard" who might have the "God-Eating Mask" actually abandoned the dignity of the Beelzebub Royal Family and surrendered to the Shadow Empire?
