A twenty-meter-tall platform had been erected in the Demon Fortress. A burly demon looked down from the platform.
He was three meters tall and wore an immortal-grade armor. His skin was dark purple, and there were black runes on his face. He had a pair of red demonic eyes.
The Demon Race's Great Heavenly General, Demon Venerable Holy War!
Beside him was a female demon and a demon child. The child was hiding in his mother's arms. His red eyes were filled with fear.
"Mommy, will Daddy come for us?"
The female demon's heart ached. Would he come? She hoped he would come, but she also prayed he wouldn't!
"Child, you must be as brave as your father. Do what you think is right!"
Demons were monogamous. Even if they lost their spouse, they wouldn't remarry. To be able to become husband and wife, the woman understood her husband better than anyone else.
At this moment, the Demon Sovereign Holy War spoke.
"I didn't expect the Flame Demon to be such a coward. He allowed us to execute you two, but he didn't dare to show himself!"
The woman stood up straight and said coldly, "My husband is definitely not someone who is afraid of death. Back then, he carried out the assassination mission on his own. It was originally a mission with no return!"
"For the Demon Race, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his life!"
The Demon Sovereign Holy War snorted. "For the Demon Race? You have the nerve to say it's for the Demon Race? For a human, he didn't hesitate to betray the Demon Race. He's a traitor to the Demon Race! "
"He only kept his promise. He didn't betray the Demon Race!"
"Then what about his promise to the Demon Race? Never betraying is the oath we demons swore when we joined the Immortal Army! "
"But what if you kill the innocent?"
"If they're not demons, how can they be innocent?! Do you think other races will show mercy when they see us?! "
"If that's what you think, then it can only mean that the war has made you lose your nature!"
"The war has made us rich!"
The Demon Sovereign Holy War wasn't just about strength. He also had an incomparably firm belief.
The sun set in the west. The red sunlight stretched everyone's shadows. At this moment, the deadline was getting closer and closer.
The Demon Sovereign Holy War shook his head. "Unfortunately, the fearless man you spoke of didn't show up on time. I gave him seven days. In the end … you saw it for yourself. I feel sorry for you!"
The Balrog's wife took a deep breath and hugged the child in her arms tightly. "I'm very glad that he made a wise choice."
"Prepare for the execution!" The Great Celestial General gave the order, and two executioners walked onto the execution platform with special weapons in their hands.
One of them forcefully pulled the child away from his mother.
"Mom!"
"Devon! I'm sorry … you have to be brave, okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry … "The woman was heartbroken.
"Mom, Devon is not afraid. It's just that, it's just that I miss Dad …"
Under the same sunset, the man with broad shoulders taught him how to use demonic might and how to fight.
Every time, the father and son would train until they were drenched in sweat. They would then sit together on the hillside and watch the sunset.
"Devon, we have to keep getting stronger. A man must have the ability to protect his loved ones, understand?"
"Dad, I will protect you and Mom!"
"Hahahaha, good child. Daddy doesn't need you to protect him. Your mission is to protect mommy!"
"Yes, I will work hard!"
…
Dad, I'm sorry, Devon can't protect Mom … You, will you come? You clearly said that you would protect the person you love …
The mother and son were restrained, and their axes were raised high.
"Even if you die, you will die as traitors. You will not be able to obtain any glory!" The Holy War Demon Emperor's voice sounded in their ears.
"Your clansmen will also be implicated by you. They will be despised by their clansmen for eternity!"
The Flame Demon's wife closed her eyes, and two large teardrops fell down.
Devon's large red eyes looked in the direction of the sunset.
Dad, it's a pity that I won't have the chance to become stronger …
The red sun hung low, and there seemed to be a black dot there. It was like a sunspot on a star, but it was constantly growing larger.
Devon narrowed his eyes. What was that?
That black dot was very similar to the familiar sight on the hillside every day when he waited for his father to return!
A voice came from the distance.
"The person you want is me. Let go of my wife and son!"
Suddenly, the Flame Demon's wife opened her eyes. When she saw that figure, she couldn't stop her tears.
Everyone on the execution platform turned to look at that person.
"It's, it's the Flame Demon. He's returned!"
"He still has the guts to return! Traitors will be cut into pieces! "
"Traitor! Traitor! "
Demon Sovereign Holy War looked at that person and narrowed his eyes. He raised his hand and the executioner put down his guillotine.
A figure flashed and stood on the execution platform.
"Demon Sovereign Holy War, I'm here! According to your promise, let them go! "
Demon Sovereign Holy War faintly smiled. "Let them go? Flame Demon, don't you know that there's a saying on the battlefield that all is fair in war? If a traitor commits a crime, his family will be implicated. You should know this, right? "
"You! You are a grand Great Heavenly General, and yet you went back on your word! "
"Flame Demon, I am well aware of your strength. What a pity. If you hadn't made such a grave mistake, you might have become the new Great Heavenly General in the future!" Demon Sovereign Holy War sneered. "Tell me, do you regret it now? For a human, your future is ruined, your family is ruined, and your name will be forever cursed on your back! "
"Regret? No, Holy War, you don't understand. The one I saved wasn't a human! "
"Not a human? Are you joking? "
"Yes, not a human! What's in his heart is the common people! "
The Great Heavenly General sneered. "Common people? Are you kidding me? You've lost so much for him. If he can't even save you, how can he save the common people? How can a single person defy the will of the Jiutian? "
"Stop deceiving yourself. Since you're here, there's no need for me to lie to you. Today, your family of three will all die! "
"I want to tell all demons that this is the fate of traitors!"
Flame Demon took a deep breath. He looked at his wife and children under the blade, and red tears flowed down his face.
"Aisha, Devon, I …"
"Don't apologize. I believe in your decision!"
"Father, Devon is not afraid."
Flame Demon's neck bulged as he forcefully suppressed his tears. "Good …"
Saying this, he pulled out his twin sabers.
"Old Kuang, I can't accompany you any longer. You must live on. You must break through the Nine Heavens and then tell these people that they were wrong!"
"Tell them that I, Kadi, didn't misjudge them!"
"Demonic Sky Searing Soul Domain!" With a loud bang, within ten miles of the demon stronghold, black fog tumbled and the ground erupted with flames.
Demon Sovereign Holy War snorted. "You still want to raid the execution ground? Flame Demon, I am personally overseeing this. How can I allow you to be so impudent? "
"Darkness Domain!" The world was dusky, and the wind howled. The distant setting sun was already covered by dark clouds.
The Great Heavenly General of the demon race had personally taken action!
