At the same time, on a street a distance away from the inn, the Otherworldly Demon Sean was wiping nonexistent sweat off his forehead.
"Aiyah, that was really scary. I nearly died from fright."
Sean patted his chest with lingering fear as he recalled the scene where he was subdued by the Binding Magic just now.
"As expected of a hero. No wonder that person kept reminding us to be careful of him."
As he spoke, Sean leaped into the air.
With an astonishing speed, he dashed through the streets and alleys, heading in a certain direction.
There was a territory there.
That was the territory of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
As the fourth most powerful tribe in the Succubus Territory, inferior only to the Stone Lady Tribe, Taowu Tribe, and Ashen Gray Tribe, the territory of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe in Succubus City wasn't small, but it wasn't shabby either. Not only was it located close to the heart of the city, it occupied a large area as well.
From time to time, powerful auras would appear in the territory, telling others that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had quite a few experts.
When Sean flew into the territory of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, several powerful auras instantly locked onto him. Only after realizing Sean's identity did they retract their auras.
Just like that, Sean entered the territory of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and headed straight to where the chief was.
There, a Demon who seemed to be slightly older than Sean was standing with his back facing him.
"Big Brother!"
Sean landed on his back and called out to him.
The other party was the chief of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, one of the subordinates of the Succubus Demons — Sisay.
"Are you back?"
Xisai didn't turn around. Instead, she spoke in a flat tone.
"Yes, I'm back." Sean still had a fearful look on his face. "You might not know, but I thought that I wouldn't be able to make it back."
Sean's words were extremely exaggerated.
"What's wrong?" Sisay asked doubtfully. "Did you meet with danger?"
"I guess so." Sean sighed deeply. "Even though it wasn't direct, if the other party wanted to make a move on me in that situation, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make it back."
Sisay understood the hidden meaning behind those words.
"It seems like that hero isn't someone to be trifled with," Sisay said thoughtfully. "What happened to those fellows?"
Sean could also tell who Sisay was referring to.
Thus, he replied straightforwardly.
"They're all dead," Sean said straightforwardly. Sean said straightforwardly, "It's just like you said, big brother. Those petty tricks can't do anything to that Hero. They can't even force the Sand Scale Tribe to submit. What a bunch of useless fellows."
"They're just pawns to be discarded. Sisay, on the other hand, was very calm. "They're just a bunch of pawns to be discarded. At most, they're just there to test the Hero's abilities. What else can you expect from them?"
"That's true." Sean nodded in agreement and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the people of the Succubus Castle didn't have a conflict with that hero in the name of prohibiting private fights."
"Rules are made by people. Her Highness Succubus made the rule that forbids fighting in Succubus City. Since Her Highness Succubus favors that hero, even if he breaks the rule, Her Highness Succubus won't punish him." Sisay said disapprovingly, "Rules are made by people. Her Highness Succubus made the rule that forbids duels in Succubus City. Since Her Highness Succubus favors that hero, then even if he breaks the rule, Her Highness Succubus can't punish that hero."
"You're thinking too much." Sisay said disapprovingly. "Rules are made by people, and Her Highness Succubus forbids fighting in Succubus City. Since Her Highness Succubus favors that hero, even if he breaks the rule, Her Highness Succubus won't punish him."
"That's true …" Sean scratched his head. "But I thought that the people in Succubus Castle would also be unhappy with Her Highness Succubus befriending that hero." "You're thinking too much." Sisay saw through the situation and remained calm. "Those fellows are undoubtedly loyal to Her Highness Succubus. No matter how unhappy they are with others, as long as it's something that Her Highness Succubus doesn't want to see, they won't let it happen."
As an officer under the command of the succubus, Sisay understood this point well enough.
However …
"Is it the same for you? My cute Sisay? "
When such a voice suddenly sounded, both Sisay and Sean shuddered.
In the next second, both of them knelt down on one knee in the direction of the voice.
"Hu!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind started to blow.
It was a gust of fishy wind. There seemed to be a strong smell of fresh blood, as well as the stench of rotting corpses. It was faintly nauseating.
An old man appeared from the fishy wind.
He had no hair, but his eyebrows and beard were long. He held a walking stick in his hand and wore a linen robe. He gave off the vibe of an old fisherman from the countryside.
Both Syse and Sean spoke respectfully when they saw the old man.
"Greetings, Lord Parion."
"Greetings, Lord Parion."
Just like that, the two Legend realm experts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe expressed their subservience to the mysterious old man like subordinates.
"Good."
The old man named Parion looked at Sisay and Sean with benevolent eyes, as though he was looking at his own grandchildren. His tone was extremely amiable.
However, Sisay and Sean didn't even dare to raise their heads. In fact, there was even a hint of fear in their eyes.
Taking a closer look, there were two Demons behind Parion.
The two Demons were a man and a woman. However, they weren't young. One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, while the other was a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
Their auras weren't any weaker than Sysai and Sean's, but they followed behind Parion expressionlessly, as if they were bodyguards.
Parion brought the two of them and walked up to Sisay and Sean.
"You seem to have met Shien Boztut." Parion was still amiable. "How is it? That brave warrior? "
Sean didn't speak, or rather, he didn't dare to speak. He looked at his elder brother.
Sisay pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Just like what that person said, this brave warrior isn't easy to deal with. The people that Lord Parion entrusted to us were discovered and eliminated as soon as they took action."
Sisay spoke the truth.
"Is that so?" Parion didn't seem to care about those who died. He just smiled and muttered to himself, "Indeed, just like what Star said, he's an incredible variable."
Upon hearing Parion's words, the two demons on both sides of Parion couldn't help but speak up.
"As long as Lord Parion gives the order, we'll go and get the head of the brave warrior right now."
The middle-aged Demons spoke with a deep voice.
"Even if he's a brave warrior, with the four of us attacking him together, I don't believe we can't take him down."
The middle-aged woman's demon also said in a crisp voice.
Xsai and Sean looked at each other, but neither of them said a word.
They were different from the two foolish followers. They knew very well how dangerous it would be if they were to do so.
They also believed that Parion would understand this and wouldn't act rashly.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have migrated to the Succubus City with their entire race under Parion's instructions and developed here. They had been hiding under the Succubus' command and doing something similar to undercover work.
As expected …
"Don't underestimate the brave warriors." Parion said unhurriedly, "They're the most incredible miracles in this world. They're so incredible that they can even affect the Demon King and the Supreme God."
"Back then, the cold and heartless heart of the Supreme God was almost pried open by the first brave warrior. It wasn't until the first brave warrior was tortured and killed by the Demon King that the Supreme God completely sealed himself."
"The Demon King was also defeated by the brave warrior, Mithra. This proves that the brave warrior's holy sword is indeed the natural enemy of us Demons."
Parion tapped the walking stick in his hand.
"Even if that brave warrior hasn't transcended, with the holy sword in hand, a few Legendary powerhouses can't deal with him easily."
"Not to mention you guys, even I don't have absolute confidence in taking down Shien Boztut."
"Don't forget, the cautious Star reminded us that we can only overestimate him and not underestimate him."
As he spoke, Parion actually laughed to himself.
On the other hand, the two accompanying Demons were somewhat doubtful.
"Can we really believe that person's words?"
"I always feel that he seems to be doing something secretly. Even Lord Yue is on guard against him. I don't think his words are trustworthy."
The two accompanying Demons said so.
"Don't say that." Parion didn't seem to mind and said, "No matter what, he won't be able to escape from the leader's control. We have to be merciful to a little guy without any talent who can only play with puppets."
After saying that, Parion muttered to himself for a while and looked at Sisay and Sean.
"For the time being, don't touch that brave warrior. Let's observe the situation first."
"We have another mission this time. As for the matter regarding that brave warrior, just as the leader said, let Moon handle it."
"Our target is the Devilman, or rather, the Succubus."
At this point, Parion spoke to Sisay and Sean in a meaningful tone.
"You two should be able to do it, right?"
Hearing Parion's words, Sisay and Sean felt their hearts tremble slightly.
"... Of course, we wouldn't dare to disobey."
Sisay replied.
"Y-yes."
Sean hurriedly replied.
"That's good." Parion smiled and said, "I thought that after seeing the Succubus for too long, your hearts would be captured by that Devilman like everyone else."
Sisay and Sean both fell silent, and their gazes were somewhat complicated.
Obviously, Parion had spoken out the thoughts in their minds.
In this world, there was no one who wouldn't be captured after seeing that person for too long.
Of course, Sisay and Sean were no exception.
However, they also knew that Parion's orders couldn't be disobeyed.
After all, they were …
"My beloved Apostle."
Parion laughed merrily, and the more he laughed, the weirder it became.
Sisay and Sean could only lower their heads and declare in unison.
"Everything we have belongs to you."
"We are the disciple of the great Ambassador of the Sun, Lord Parion."
