A pair of bat-like demonic wings extended from the devil's back and flapped softly, blowing away all the dust in the air.
It looked a bit like a muscular, hairless, black gorilla. It was about five meters tall, but it had a pair of horns on its head that were about a meter tall and were shaped like a bison's horns.
Moreover, it had a thick crocodile-like tail on its rump, and at the tip of the tail was the signature arrowhead of a devil.
There was no doubt that it was a devil from every aspect, and it appeared to be a superior species among the devils.
"It's been a long time, fresh air! It's so refreshing that I thought I was dreaming and couldn't come to my senses. "The devil took a deep breath and spoke gruffly.
Many people believed that devils lived in hell, and would definitely like the air that was filled with sulfur.
But that was not the case. Devils could survive for a long time even in an oxygen-free environment, but like most creatures, they liked fresh air that was rich in oxygen.
Even if the air filled with sulfur made them nostalgic and reminded them of home, they honestly didn't like it that much.
For most devils, the mortal realm that was rich in resources and had a suitable climate was their ideal colony.
Then, it took another deep breath.
This time, however, it wasn't breathing, but identifying the scents in the air.
"Woah, an elf with impure blood and that human just now. Did you manage to free me?"
It licked the palm it had used to crush Marni, but didn't smell blood as it expected.
That made the devil look at its palm by reflex, only to find that it was completely clean from the minced flesh and bloodstains just a moment ago. It was as if the human's corpse had vanished, and all that was left was the saliva from when it licked its palm.
Though it was a little puzzled, the devil didn't pursue the matter.
Compared to the human who was definitely dead, the fleeing elf was the main course!
"Hmm?"
Just as it took two steps forward, the devil noticed that vines were shooting out of the ground to wrap itself around it.
"Elves haven't improved at all after so many years?" The devil snorted at the puny magic.
Spreading its wings, it ignored the vines and darted towards the fleeing elf.
Even if the wood elves were faster in the forest, they still couldn't match the devil's flying speed.
In the blink of an eye, the demon had landed in front of Selene!
"Yo, little kitty!"
The demon bent down slightly and looked down at the elven girl who was blown to the ground by the shockwave of its landing. It grinned and said, "Where do you think you're going?"
Selene didn't say anything as if she was facing a great enemy. She simply raised her hand and shot an elven green ray at the demon's head, staining its head with a fresh green hue.
In fact, the power of this spell was quite good. If compared horizontally, its destructive power was roughly equivalent to a Fireball cast by a human Mage after charging for half a minute.
Even so, the devils were a supernatural race that could bathe in magma like a hot spring. Not only were they immune to magic, their physical defenses could ignore an attack of this level. They didn't care about the green on their heads, and simply grinned at Selene who seemed to be struggling to the death.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're different from foolish humans. You should know what kind of power the devils possess, and an elf with impure bloodline has no chance of winning." The demon's eyes widened, its expression more of mockery than curiosity as it stared at the elven girl. "What drove you to attack me without hesitation the moment you saw me? A fluke? A desire to live? "
Selene didn't reply. In fact, she hoped that the demon would talk to himself for a while, since it was the only way the paper crane she released would have time to return to the elven capital of Trinia and inform the elven queen about the demon's escape. * * *
"Not answering? That's not surprising, since your kind has been hostile against my kind for generations. It's only natural. "
The demon didn't appear suspicious of the elven girl's refusal to cooperate, and simply muttered to itself. "If that's the case, let me guess."
As it spoke, its face approached the elven girl.
The elven girl took a step back by reflex as she stared at the colossal face that could swallow her in one gulp.
It wasn't as if she didn't consider attacking the demon's eyes or mouth.
But her rationality told her that it would probably be ineffective, and would instead infuriate it. If she was killed, the paper crane that still carried mana would be especially conspicuous in this area!
That was why she had to be patient.
As long as Ye He could relay the information to the other elves, it wouldn't matter even if she died.
"Is it because of this?"
The demon's mouth widened in laughter, allowing her to see what it was holding in its mouth.
It was the paper crane she had folded from tree leaves to relay the message to Trinia!
At once, the elven girl felt her mind going blank. Her heart was clenched tightly by a giant hand of despair, and the strength she had been holding herself up vanished at once as she fell limply to her knees.
"Hahahaha! That's it! That's it! That's the expression I've been waiting for! " The demon finally couldn't hold back its laughter. "Wonderful! It wasn't a waste for me to go out of my way to get this! It was worth it! "
Then, its expression slowly turned ferocious. "Don't worry, you're just the first! If I don't kill all the elves in this forest, I won't be able to vent my anger! "
With those words, it abruptly swung its palm at the elven girl's head!
In that split second, a golden-red figure suddenly appeared, standing between the elven girl and the demon.
It was a person wearing a set of heavy metal armor. Selene had seen all sorts of armor in her long elven life, but she was sure that it was the first time she had seen such a showy and seemingly impractical armor.
However, it was the person wearing this kind of armor who forcefully blocked the power of the demon's palm!
"What are you?!" The demon growled at the uninvited guest.
However, the armored person didn't answer, and instead turned to look at the elven girl. The weird helmet suddenly lifted from below, revealing a human face that the elven girl would never forget.
"Like I said, it's fine as long as you're fine." Marni smiled. "Leave the rest to me."
With those words, the Iron Man helmet closed on its own. As the familiar spirit charged at full power, every part of the Iron Man armor shone with a pale blue radiance.
"I'll show you the power of money when all my equipment is strengthened to + 7!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped into the ground by the demon.
