After killing another group of demons, Fafnir looked back and saw Angor giving him an apologetic look.
Just like before, the demons were still here for Angor.
Angor could tell how powerful the Abyss Awakening was.
After being targeted twice in a row, Angor decided to use an illusion spell to disguise himself. However, it didn't seem to work. They kept moving forward, only to be blocked by the demons again.
Angor was puzzled. His illusion spell combined with nightmare illusions shouldn't be exposed so easily.
"So the demons didn't recognize me, but Canaan?" Canaan was an employee of Illusion Hut, so it made sense that the demons thought of Angor when they saw Canaan.
Canaan seemed to have read his mind. "It's not that your illusion doesn't work, Mister. It's just that your mark is too obvious."
Angor was puzzled. What do you mean by 'too obvious'?
Fafnir also finished dealing with the demons blocking his way. "You think your illusions can hide Oderklas's mark?" he sneered at Angor.
Because of the fire mark?! Angor quickly touched his left earlobe. There was a flame pattern there. It was the mark left by Oderklas.
The mark was supposed to hide Angor's identity as a "human". However, it was too special, and Angor was the only one in Rasudran who had it. This made Angor stand out from the crowd. The demons didn't even need to look to know where the mark was.
Angor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect the mark to expose him in the end.
"Is there any way to hide it?" It was Canaan who asked. She already noticed the mark on Angor's body. In the past, Canaan could use the mark to intimidate small demons. But now that Rasudran was in chaos, the mark wasn't as effective as it used to be.
"Sure, change to a dragon scale to cover your flame imprint." Fafnir glanced at Angor's side, where a floating ball of ice was used to trap Toby.
Back at the Land of Repose, Balalaika already told him that Pina's scales could conceal her aura. However, if he really used Pina Jonas's dragon scales to hide his presence, then Toby's Frozen Spell would not work.
In the end, he chose not to use Pina's dragon scale.
Speaking of which, there was another way to conceal the flame mark. Angor sneaked a glance at Fafnir. If he could get Fafnir's scales … Fafnir sensed his gaze and returned it with a cold glare. Angor shivered and lowered his head without saying a word.
Recently, he had really become a little complacent. He actually dared to set his sights on Fafnir. Angor quickly realized that he shouldn't have such thoughts. Fafnir was being lenient not because of Angor himself, but because of Oderklas's mission. If Angor became arrogant because of this, he would suffer a terrible fate.
He had no choice but to keep following Fafnir.
Fortunately, after Fafnir killed so many demons, they all realized that they couldn't defeat Fafnir with their current strength. As time went by, fewer and fewer demons dared to challenge Fafnir.
Angor sighed in relief.
"The Abyss Awakening is too attractive. But after witnessing Mister Fafnir's power, I don't think any more demons will dare to challenge him, right? "Canaan sighed.
Angor sighed. He already told them that the Abyss Awakening was only a special case. Even if there was a real Abyss Awakening, it could only be a water-type Abyss Awakening. But these demons didn't seem to believe him at all.
But there was nothing he could do about it. This was the first time these demons witnessed an Abyss Awakening due to "external intervention", so they wouldn't believe Angor's words.
…
Soon, they reached the central area of Rasudran. The core area was just ahead. Angor couldn't even reach this area with his scout puppet.
The buildings on both sides of the street were huge, and each door was large enough to allow a troll to enter. Angor quickly realized how small the Psychedelic Hut was.
There weren't many damaged buildings here. Some of them even had demons moving around inside.
Angor's group walked through the smoke-filled street with sparks, which made them very conspicuous. When they passed by some undamaged buildings, Angor could clearly sense someone staring at them from inside. The only thing Angor could do was to follow Fafnir closely.
Fafnir's power was enough to deter these demons from acting recklessly.
However, there were also unexpected situations.
Just as they were about to step into the core area, a large group of demons suddenly surged out and surrounded them. This was the first time they saw so many demons. There were almost a hundred of them.
Their sizes varied, but their auras were all frightening and arrogant. And there were so many of them that they almost blotted out the sky.
The greed in the demons' eyes almost turned into sharp arrows that stabbed into Angor's body. It was obvious that they were still after Angor.
"Why are there so many demons here?" Canaan was surprised. After witnessing Fafnir's power, she didn't think the demons would challenge him again.
No one could answer Canaan's question.
Angor wasn't the only one who felt uneasy facing these demons. Fafnir also felt troubled. It wasn't that she couldn't deal with them, but she would need to spend more effort to protect Angor.
Fafnir flicked a finger, and a gentle wind appeared around Angor.
"Stay where you are. If you want to die, don't blame me." Fafnir's voice reached Angor's ears. She didn't wait for an answer and began another round of fighting.
Angor obeyed Fafnir's order and didn't dare to move. Even when a demon sneaked up to him and threw a chain at him, he didn't move.
As soon as the scythe touched the gentle wind around Angor's body, Fafnir sensed it and sent a violent gust of wind to lift the scythe up. The demon that escaped through the net also turned into a rain of blood in the air.
Soon, the battle was over.
Fafnir stood proudly in the center of the street, surrounded by pieces of flesh and corpses. Her dark skin was stained with the blood of the demons. Fafnir stuck out her tongue and licked the blood off her lips. She looked like a murderous demon.
Thud thud thud, thud thud, thud thud.
Fafnir walked out of the pile of corpses and spoke in a plain voice, "Time to go."
Fafnir didn't comment on the battle. To her, it wasn't worth mentioning. But she did have a better opinion of Angor. The chain was so close to Angor's bottom line, but he still obeyed her order and didn't move. This saved her some energy.
Of course, Fafnir didn't know that Angor was only pretending.
He was actually chanting Spirit Mantra in his mind. If the chain was any closer, he would have ejected his soul and run away together with his body. Agreeing to Fafnir's request was one thing, but he didn't want to leave his safety in Fafnir's hands.
When Fafnir told them to leave, Canaan peeked out from a nearby building. The demons didn't seem to care about Canaan at all, so Canaan wasn't hurt at all.
However, Canaan frowned as they continued on their way.
It still couldn't figure out why so many demons still came to seek death when they knew that Fafnir was here.
Somehow, he felt that there was something wrong with all of this.
This strange feeling appeared again as soon as they entered the core area.
Because once again, they were besieged by the Devils.
This time, there were even more demons than before!
"A bunch of trash that can't be driven away." Fafnir's expression was vicious. Once again, she surrounded Angor with a gentle breeze and summoned Wind of Infinity before the demons could do anything.
Angor didn't need Fafnir's instructions. He simply stood in the center of the wind and didn't move. However, his expression was even more serious than before.
These two groups of demons weren't the same as the ones before. The first group of demons left their companions behind after witnessing Fafnir's power. But these two groups of demons were trying to capture him without regard for their own lives.
He knew how important Abyss Awakening was for demons. But what was the point of awakening if they didn't care about their own lives?
While Angor was thinking, Canaan, who was hiding nearby, was also observing the demons.
As a bystander, Canaan became more and more confused. She knew the demons were targeting Angor because all of them were shouting and jumping at him. It was understandable that they had the same goal. But why were they showing the same crazed look in their eyes?
When the two demons approached Angor in the same way, Canaan saw their almost synchronized movements and suddenly had an idea.
"They're being controlled?!"
Controlled? When Canaan's voice reached the battlefield, Angor quickly realized what was going on. Indeed, demons would not risk their lives to fight like this.
However, if there was a mastermind controlling them from behind the scenes, then it was possible.
However, who could control so many demons?
They were all imps, and none of them were too strong. Still, it wouldn't be easy to control so many of them.
