He stepped on the insufferably arrogant Demon Lord who once looked down on all creatures except himself. The elite warriors under his command also stopped their attacks and stood a distance away, vigilantly staring at the only human mage on the scene.
After a short silence, Lin raised the Cassette Cutting in front of him and just looked at it.
The weapon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I always feel that you're thinking of something very rude, like the + 9 Dragon Slaying Saber, which costs 999 per slash. Do you really think I'm a tycoon who specializes in martial arts? "
"No, you should understand that no matter how strong the pay-to-win equipment is, it still makes people feel uneasy. After all, this feeling of killing one demon with one slash is too different from my past life. If I'm abandoned by you someday, will this feeling of 9,999 per slash be gone? I've been cheated by the game company too much. When will they change the data? The tycoon costume will become a drag costume. If I want to be rich, I have to continue spending money. If I have enough money, I can be rich. If I keep spending money, I'll be rich. Tell me, can I believe you? "
"You always complain that you're not rich enough, that your house is not big enough, that your food is not good enough, and that your wife is too ugly. You're afraid of being cheated when you get the best stuff, that your house is too big and hard to clean, that your blood pressure will rise when you eat well, and that your wife will run away with someone if she's too beautiful. I say, are you done yet? And you say these things as if I'll just leave after eating and sleeping with you. Are you sure I'll be the one doing that? "
"If you don't think about the future, you'll have immediate worries. I'm not worried about you. When you don't respond to my summons, what should I do? Do you really want to use my skull to block the mace? "
If the Cassette Cutting could shake its head, it would definitely shake it for someone to see. The Cassette Cutting said, "I'm also worried about what I should do if you die one day and there's no one to take over after the Flash skill. I didn't expect you to be worried about me not responding to your summons first. Are you right? "
The one who interrupted the aimless conversation between the man and the sword was a demon lying at the feet of the Mage. Although the demon who had been cut in half at the waist was bleeding all over the ground and its intestines were dragging on the ground, it was terrifying. Because its magic core was intact, demon warriors of their level could still fight. They, who had been lying on the ground, were also waiting for an opportunity.
Now, an opportunity had presented itself! The demon that fell beside Lin's feet propped himself up with one hand and held his sword tightly with the other. He swung his sword from bottom to top without any hesitation.
"Be careful!" Cassette Cutting warned. However, a certain someone's detection and surveillance ability did not rely on eyes or ears. Instead, it gathered all the information about the surrounding environment. It was somewhat similar to the "mind's eye" mentioned in the anime and manga. How could he not understand that the demon at his feet was causing trouble?
Lin did not even use Blink. Instead, he swung his sword backward. Apart from breaking the sword that was trying to ambush him, he also cut open the demon's magic core. Having lost the support and control of authority, the demon promptly crumbled like a sand sculpture, leaving only its armor and broken sword that had lost its luster on the ground.
The long sword that was flung back was covered in white flames. Along with the momentum, it stabbed diagonally into the back of the Demon Sha Bin, and more than half of the blade was buried in it. This kind of injury was far less severe than the injury of all four limbs, but the threat it posed to the Demon Lord was incomparable. This was because the tip of Cassette Cutting's sword was already pressed against Sha Bin's magic core. As long as it was pushed forward a little more, this Demon Lord would disappear from the world forever.
Lin then said, "I spared your lives because I didn't want to be ruthless. However, I also don't mind killing those who don't cherish their lives. I wonder, Lord Sha Bin, which category do you belong to? "
Understanding that his life was indeed at stake, Sha Bin finally understood that the other party had indeed grasped the method to completely eliminate a demon. The weapon in his hand could easily destroy the demon's magic core that was supposed to be incomparably hard.
He was not the only one who understood. The demons that had been killed and fallen to the ground and surrounded by the outer circle also understood. They could be so arrogant before because they did not think that this human could kill them.
Although the broken limbs on the ground looked terrifying, there were even bloodier scenes than this when demons attacked each other. However, after killing, the demons continued to eat and sleep as usual. Their lives did not change much.
However, when they were faced with death, even demons were no exception. No one could truly be fearless. What scared them even more was that it seemed that they did not have the ability to fight back against this seemingly weak mage. The injured elite Demon Warriors on the ground were proof of this. That powerful Demon Lord was now under the feet of that person was proof of this.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Sha Bin asked casually after understanding his situation.
Lin withdrew his foot from the demon's body and pulled back the Cassette Cutting. He turned his hand behind him and said, "The same thing. You drive the cat out, and I'll bring it back to report on my mission. It's dead or alive. "
"That's it? You don't want anything else? "Sha Bin was surprised. In a battle between demons, if the loser was lucky enough to survive, he would have to pay a considerable price. However, the man in front of him only wanted him to fulfill his original promise.
Although he did not understand the details of how demons did things, Lin said bluntly, "You can't give me what I want." This was also the truth. If there was a mighty person who could send him back to Earth, there would be people who would turn 360 degrees naked and kneel in the snow and lick it. Other than that, there was nothing else worth fussing over.
However, before Sha Bin could speak, the black-faced, white-haired Siamese cat came to a certain person's feet and rubbed against him flatteringly. It said in the common language, "I'm willing to go back with you, mage."
Wheeze wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded by its behavior. Even the demons who could still make expressions were stupefied.
This was especially true for Wheeze. It felt as if it was in a dream, and everything felt so unreal.
First, he discovered that his cat was not abducted, but ran away from home on its own. Then, he discovered that the biggest obstacle this time was actually the old enemy of the cat race and the king, the Demon Lord on the other side of the Gate of the Abyss. Finally, it discovered that the Demon Lord and its subordinates, who were regarded as the greatest enemy of all cats, were actually killed by a human mage like vegetables and melons. They could not fight back at all!
As for the fact that the human sorcerer didn't care about him and Mao Ni, and the female cat's change of attitude, Hardy didn't care about them at all, as if they were trivial matters that Hardy didn't care about.
A certain person who was being rubbed against by a cat was also speechless. The bit of confusion in his heart was completely scared away by the female cat's behavior. He pulled back his legs and thought to himself that when facing a stranger, as long as the stranger did not target him with sharp objects or approach him at an abnormal speed, he would not use Blink for self-protection. Shouldn't the logic of such a judgment be modified?
While thinking, Lin Bian looked back at the door. However, all the demons were frightened by this non-threatening glance and opened up a path. Even the injured on the ground got up if they could, and crawled if they couldn't. They also opened up a path for him. Even Sha Bin who was lying at his feet said, "Since that cat has decided to leave, then you should leave quickly, human. Or do you wish to stay and be my host? "
In the face of this rude order to leave, Lin wanted to ask the demon on the ground what gave him the confidence to say such words. But after thinking about it, he decided against it. He had already stepped on him and rubbed him against the ground. Was he really going to kill him with a sword? He then led the two cats out of Sha Bin's castle and returned to the Gate of the Abyss, ending the journey.
The return journey was not as long as the journey. Lin had chosen the shortest route to return, unlike when he was tracking Mao Ni, where he had to take a long detour. Even so, he ran a marathon with the two cats. Although there was the help of magic, a certain person who did not sleep the whole night was still very tired.
Compared to Mao Ni, the female cat, who began to investigate a certain person's background, asking what he was interested in and what he hated, Hardy did not completely remain silent. He also asked a question that had to be answered. "Why didn't you kill that demon directly?"
When he left, the human magus did not kill the other demons, including the Demon Lord. Although killing them all was not the original mission, wasn't it better to kill the wrong demon than to let them go? Why would a human magus spare a group of demons?
Although he was not interested in answering any of the female cat's questions, Lin still voiced his own thoughts in response to Hardy's doubts. He asked in return, "Is it really okay to kill that demon?"
"What's wrong with it? My race's conflict with the king and the Demon Lord Sha Bin has lasted for a long time. Although the hatred between us is not at the level of a blood feud, it is not far off. Just now I could not hurt Sha Bin. Only the king among us has the ability to hurt him. That is why I did not kill that demon. But if you can do it, then why not? "
"You said it yourself. You have been dealing with that demon for a long time. In my opinion, the two sides are in a stalemate. You have guarded the gate and prevented the demons from invading. Under such circumstances, do you think it is a good thing to switch to an unknown demon as your opponent? "
The rhetorical question caused the gray cat Hardy to begin thinking. There was no way to kill all the demons unless the entire Abyss was destroyed. This was something that not even the gods could do, let alone a cat or a magus.
Since there was no way to kill all the demons, then when a Demon Lord fell, the next Demon Lord was bound to come. After all, the Gate of the Abyss was a very important strategic point to the owner's world and the Abyss. It could not be left to waste. At the very least, they had to defend it and prevent the other side from invading. Then, would the next Demon Lord be easier to deal with than Sha Bin? No one could guarantee this.
Thinking from this direction, leaving the cat and the king could still deal with Sha Bin was the safest decision. However, Hardy thought of something else and said, "But you helped him reattach his severed arm with the remains of an Abyss Lord. Didn't you say that it made Sha Bin stronger than before? "
"Why didn't you mention that I cut off his limbs? I think it will take a long time for him to recover his peak strength. Moreover, this also required his subordinates to be loyal and not attack him during this period of time. As far as I know, demons devour each other to increase their strength. Therefore, in the coming days, compared to killing his way to the other side of the gate and causing trouble for you, he should first avoid becoming someone else's food. That is the most important thing. "
