When night fell, the tired troops once again returned to the temporary camp.
For the whole day, they had traveled hundreds of kilometers and killed nearly 50 demons of varying strength.
These demons were all Nazuran demons, but the Euboris demons, which were very good at using magic and spreading chaos and fear, and the Comala demons, which looked like tentacles, were nowhere to be seen.
This was a good thing for the time being. Perhaps the passage opened in the Great Rift Valley happened to be in the area where the Nazuran demons lived in the Abyss of Purgatory, so the other two demons with more destructive power did not notice.
"This is not good."
Sitting around the campfire, Shikarin said to the others very seriously, "In today's battle, we relied too much on Salatimore's power. Don't forget, it's a demon! We must be vigilant against demons! "
"You're too nervous."
Locke said with a smile, "No matter what it is, at least it's on our side now, isn't it?"
Shikarin said coldly, "Demons are good at playing with people's hearts. When you think it's on your side, you've already been bewitched."
Locke spread out his hands and said, "I don't think there's anything on me that's worth being bewitched by it. Besides, it has already signed a contract with Tang En Majesty."
Locke thought to himself that demons were good at tricking humans through contracts, but if it was Tang En Majesty, it was hard to say who would be tricking who.
Then again, even if it really dared to betray them, it would be easy for Tang En Majesty to kill it, right?
Locke stole a glance at Tang En. Tang En, who was calmly grilling meat, did not care about the sparks between them at all.
Look, he's so calm. This is the demeanor of a general!
"Tang En Majesty, I'm afraid we've been too optimistic about the operation to clean up the demons."
After a long silence, he suddenly said, "We've encountered more than 50 demons today alone. According to the size of the Great Rift Valley, these 50 demons are probably only one-tenth of the total number."
"Not that many."
Tang En shook his head, sniffed the meat, and put it next to the fire. Then he said, "Today, Salatimore told me that there are less than 200 demons left."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Salatimore descended from the sky and turned into a kitten. He walked elegantly and arrogantly to Elsa and sat down. Then he said calmly, "If there are more than 200 demons around here, even you can smell the rancid stench in the air. We've been fighting with them for so many years. Don't you know this?"
The power of demons had a corrosive effect. They would corrode everything around them. This was very similar to the power of Chaos.
Elsa tilted her head and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why are demons and devils fighting?"
Eluri was stunned and said subconsciously, "Isn't that natural …"
Of course?
Tang En frowned slightly. It didn't seem to be that simple.
Back on Earth, when he played this game created by the Gods, it mentioned about Devils and Demons, but it was vague. No one knew the specific situation. In addition, there were very few encounters with Devils in the game. Most players didn't even know the difference between Devils and Demons.
But since the background explained the difference between the two, it meant that the Gods definitely knew about the difference between Devils and Demons.
The most obvious point was that Devils were the creation of Apophis, the God of Darkness, but Demons were not.
"You don't know?"
Salatimore glanced at them and said calmly, "Oh, it's normal that you don't know. After all, humans are short-lived."
Leon was also stunned for a moment. "Could it be that there's a secret here?"
In the teachings of the Radiant Church, there were chapters to be wary of Devils and chapters to purify Demons. The difference was obvious, but all the believers didn't understand why.
"Secret? It's not a secret, but … "
Salatimore frowned and said calmly, "… should I say it's a tragedy?"
"Tragedy?"
"Yes."
Salatimore looked at Tang En and noticed that he was also attracted. Suddenly, he had an idea. "You want to know the truth of this matter? Then show me your sincerity. "
He still didn't give up on competing with Tang En.
"Sincerity?"
Tang En glanced at him calmly. "I don't know if it's sincerity to throw you into a bunch of estrous male cats after I ban you?"
"… You demon!"
Salatimore screamed and jumped into Elsa's arms. "After you die, your soul will definitely be thrown into the Soul Furnace by Gretel!"
Tang En flicked the skewer, sniffed it, and smiled with satisfaction. "You don't have to worry about that. Now, speak."
"…"
Salatimore swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Actually … demons are also devils."
"What!?"
"How is that possible!?"
"Aren't Demons and Devils two different creatures!?"
Salatimore's words shocked Leon and the others.
Indeed, many people would confuse Demons and Devils, but it was impossible for them, who had undergone professional training, to confuse the two.
Demons were completely chaotic and evil, while Devils, although Devils were evil, they were the creations of the God of Darkness. At least they followed order and were members of the order.
How could these two races be the same?
"It's true."
Seeing their incredulous look, Salatimore suddenly had an inexplicable sense of superiority. "You humans haven't forgotten about the creatures of Chaos, right?"
Leon said very seriously, "Of course, in fact, Prandal still occasionally discovers the Gates of Chaos, and we have been working hard to eliminate Chaos."
Salatimore nodded. "Demons are actually Devils contaminated by Chaos … at least in the beginning."
"Contaminated … by Chaos …"
Tang En was stunned. "That means … the Purgatory Abyss was also invaded by Chaos?"
"In the Purgatory Abyss, there is a giant Gate of Chaos."
Salatimore threw out a bombshell without saying a word. "In human terms, I'm afraid it's a super-giant Gate of Chaos … or maybe it's the first Gate of Chaos to appear. Who knows? Anyway, according to the guy who lived the longest among us, when we were born, the Gate of Chaos already existed. "
"That's not right. The first Prandal War of Chaos broke out 1119 years ago and ended 849 years ago. It lasted for 170 years. After the victory, it was year 0 of the Order calendar."
Tang En sensitively noticed something strange. "But Devils were born 10,000 years ago. It is said that the war between Devils and Devils can also be traced back to that period. If what you said is true, this means … after the God of Darkness created you, you have already started the war with Chaos?"
"No, in fact, the truth is that it is precisely because of the invasion of Chaos that we were created."
Salatimore said faintly. "From the moment we were born, we only have one mission, and that is to fight against the invasion of Chaos."
Tang En was stunned, and his mouth was wide open. "You mean … Devils are a race created by the God of Darkness to fight against Chaos?"
What a f * cking reversal!?
It was like suddenly finding out that the Princeps had started the war for the sake of human peace. Suddenly, everyone knew that the Princeps was a big villain and was innocent?!
"You can understand it that way."
Salatimore jumped gracefully, and while Tang En was in a daze, he instantly snatched the kebab in his hand and ate it happily.
"This … is not right … But …"
Tang En's mind was a little confused.
If what Salatimore said was true, it meant that the gods had already begun to think of ways to fight against Chaos 10,000 years ago. Although he did not know the relative time difference with the other universe, it was still 10,000 years. At that time, Earth was still in the Stone Age!
After such a long time, Nisclaire and the others had not thought of any way to deal with Chaos?
That was impossible!
There must be some secret in this!
Not only Tang En, but Leon, Eluri, and Locke were also dumbfounded. This news completely subverted the history they knew!
After eating the kebab, Salatimore said leisurely, "Of course this is true. I have no need to lie to you."
Although demons liked to play with human nature, they were surprisingly honest in some matters. Of course, this was only limited to the situation where the two sides were equal in strength.
"The first demons were devils that were corrupted by Chaos. They fell into madness, and we had no choice but to eliminate them. Well, I have to say that for the 'cold and heartless' devils, killing their former companions isn't something to be happy about. Many of their companions became soft-hearted."
Salatimore returned to Elsa's side, then sat down cross-legged, licked his claws, and continued, "However, because of our soft-heartedness, many contaminated demons were not purified. They escaped to the Gate of Chaos and relied on the power of the Gate of Chaos to fight against us. As they absorbed the power of Chaos, the degree of their corruption became deeper. The blood of demons is red, and the blood of demons is green. You know this very well."
"At that time, we did not have a more effective way to fight against Chaos. They used the power of Chaos to gradually stabilize their position and gradually became an independent and special life race."
The corner of Salatimore's mouth curled up. "Demons were born just like that."
"Demons born near the Gate of Chaos are naturally full of contradictions. They have the madness of Chaos, but they are a life of order. They try to find their own living space, but they can't find the value of their existence between Chaos and the demons. So they madly destroy everything that they can destroy. Occasionally, demons are summoned to the mortal world by spellcasters. They often cause great damage, and at the same time, they also ruin the reputation of us demons. You have to know that we demons abide by the spirit of the contract."
Hearing this, Tang En's face was silent. He finally understood why the game said that demons were a very tragic race.
The gods obviously saw all this in their eyes.
But they did not save the demons.
Were they powerless? Or were they indifferent? Or perhaps, the demons were just an observation experiment of theirs?
F * ck!
Tang En cursed in his heart. He thought that it was just a relaxing journey to save the world. Why did the water get deeper and deeper?
Moreover, his biggest backer seemed to be on the verge of turning evil!
