Leonardo was lost in thought as he gazed at the Hell's Gate. When the battle had just broken out, he had left the battlefield as fast as he could. There was no other reason than that he had sufficient reasons to shirk responsibility. For example, he could explain that he had received an urgent message from the Hell's Purple Flower and had to rush back to deal with it. If he stayed near the battlefield and avoided participating in the battle, it would be inexcusable. Moreover, his brothers and sisters were obviously hostile to him. If they seized this opportunity to make a fuss, he would be in a very dangerous situation.
Several abyssal demons stood beside Leonardo. Seeing that their leader's face was somewhat unsightly, they tactfully remained silent.
At this time, the body of a nearby long-horned devil suddenly twitched. Under those hard muscles, something swelled and swam. Soon, more and more bulges appeared on the surface of his body, and that long-horned devil let out a painful howl.
Bang … The bulge on the right cheek of the long-horned devil was the first to explode, and clouds of blood mist blossomed one after another. Strangely, the blood mist didn't scatter, but hovered in the air and condensed into a mirror. A moment later, the figure of an abyssal devil that was completely red and seemed to be burning with flames appeared in the mirror.
Most of the demons had ferocious appearances, but the Great Demon of the Abyss was different. Perhaps it was because of his age, but he gave off a kind, benevolent, and gentle feeling. Only the sharp horns on his forehead that pointed to the sky were like two long swords with a domineering aura. They carried a bit of arrogance and unruliness.
Leonardo had already awoken from his contemplation. He quickly walked in front of the blood-colored round mirror and knelt down on one knee: "Father …"
"Leonardo, Loncor still hasn't passed through the Hell's Gate?" The great demon in the mirror slowly asked.
"Not yet." Leonardo simply replied, because he knew that his father liked this.
"So it's like this …" The great demon in the mirror pondered for a moment, then said: "When Loncor comes out of the Hell's Gate, you tell him that his task is to destroy the Freedom Federation and the Tribal Alliance. Then wait for my order. Don't provoke the Holy Crown City, got it?"
"Father, didn't you send Loncor here to eliminate that Raphael? How … "
"Things have changed, haha … how should I put it …" The great demon in the mirror looked helpless. "We have overlooked a terrifying opponent. After these days of analysis, we have come to a conclusion. We have reason to believe that Raphael … is a strong person from another plane."
"Another dimension?" Leonardo could not help but reveal a shocked expression. "How is that possible?! Father, are you joking?! "
"Joking? I don't have such a bad habit. " The great demon in the mirror shook his head. "Raphael often uses several types of magic, and there are too many aspects of it that go against the common sense of magic. Nothing in the world happens for no reason. There must be a reason that we cannot understand, and the most reasonable explanation … is that he does not belong to this realm."
"Father, didn't Valentine say that Raphael might have inherited some kind of ancient magic?"
"Him? He can only deceive a kid like you. " The great demon in the mirror sneered. "However, at present, Valentine only wants revenge. After Dragon City and Dragon Realm are destroyed, haha … he won't join me as promised."
"He … will go to the Holy Crown City?"
"Yes." The great demon in the mirror said slowly, "Even he won't believe what he said! Ancient magic is also magic, and the origin of magic is to use the power of elements to change oneself, others, or the world. All the magic in the world can be divided into these three types! Leonardo, think about it. What element did Raphael use to create thousands of clones of himself, each of which has a certain fighting ability and self-healing ability? "
"Mirror Image of Water Magic …" Before he finished his words, Leonardo had already overthrown his own speculation. Raphael's clones were definitely not the same thing as the Mirror Image Spell.
"Moreover, Raphael seems to be an omnipotent master." The great demon in the mirror paused and sighed. "He can save people like a priest. There was a girl named Yalina. A few years ago, she was ambushed in the Forest of Holy Animals and was seriously injured. It was Raphael who saved her! Raphael can make all kinds of magical magic props, such as a long sword that can change its size at will, a rope that can automatically track and bind the enemy, and even the God of War, they were all made by Raphael himself. "
"I haven't seen his long sword, but I have seen the rope. It seems to have a life of its own. It's really magical." Leonardo said.
"That's not all." The great demon in the mirror said slowly, "Raphael is an excellent magician. The fireball he releases can easily pass through the obstruction of water without being extinguished. Raphael is also a powerful warrior, just like Alquete. He can use his spiritual power to fight. Raphael is also a magical puppet master. What kind of puppet is more troublesome than the Life Puppet? Interestingly, Raphael seems to have his own unique way of taming animals. They once went deep into the Forest of Holy Animals and brought back hundreds of little thunderbirds. According to the observation of the Purple Flower … Speaking of which, I have to remind you, Leonardo, you missed an important piece of news! "
"Me?" Leonardo was stunned.
"Yes, you." The great demon in the mirror smiled. "You thought that it was unimportant, so you didn't take it to heart. I don't blame you, but most of the time, the key to victory or defeat lies in the seemingly insignificant aspects. If you grasp them and comprehend them, you will become the victor. If you miss them or forget them, you will fall into an irreversible defeat. Therefore, you must learn how to use your brain and learn to analyze independently."
"Yes, father, but … but I still don't understand …" Leonardo stammered.
"Normal thunderbirds, from the time they hatch, will mature in about one or two years. Do you know what maturity means? It means that their power has reached the peak, and they have the qualifications to roam freely. " The great demon in the mirror laughed. "But the God of War didn't give birth to little thunderbirds, and those thunderbirds are not as calm as mature thunderbirds. They often fight with each other, which means … they are still very far from maturity."
"Father, is this important?" Leonardo was getting more and more confused.
"Of course." The great demon in the mirror nodded. "Thunderbirds are only level 9 magical beasts. I believe … if we can confront Raphael for a few years, you will see a group of mutant thunderbirds. They are very powerful, and may be far more powerful than level 10 magical beasts. The most convincing proof is that the leading thunderbird has been highlighted. Obviously, it has received special care from Raphael."
"Father, even if they become top-level mutant magical beasts, what can they do?" Leonardo asked.
"You … you are wrong! I am only talking about a system! " The Great Fiend in the mirror slowly extended a finger. "An incomparably huge cultivation system that is unimaginable to us! All the abilities Raphael has are branches of that huge system! "
Leonardo was stunned. He stared blankly at the great demon in the mirror. He was speechless. He knew how important this judgment was.
"A system can't be destroyed." The great demon in the mirror slowly said, "For example, if we kill all the magicians of the human race, and give them a few hundred years to recuperate, the humans will still give birth to magicians and grand magicians. Ever since the humans learned magic in the Age of Gods and created their own magic, magic has been completely integrated into their civilization, spreading to every corner! Notes left behind, lost scrolls, magic circles covered in dust, and all kinds of magic tools. All of these will become one revelation after another. Since the humans can create their own civilization, then we should also believe that they have the ability to replicate and recreate the glory of the past. "
"I understand …" Leonardo nodded vigorously. "Such a huge system can't be hidden in some place, waiting for the lucky Raphael to discover it, and all the powerhouses of the past and present know nothing about it!"
"Moreover, such a huge system can't be created by a single person. It requires the combined efforts of thousands of smart, witty, and tenacious powerhouses. After countless years of accumulation, only then can it be formed!" The great demon in the mirror smiled. "With so many powerhouses involved … then the secret is no longer a secret. We should have at least heard of it, right?"
"But … that Raphael has the ability to break through the restriction of the laws?" At first, Leonardo didn't believe the great demon's judgment at all. He only thought that it was joking, but after talking for so long, his mentality had completely changed. This was the only reasonable explanation.
"I don't know." The great demon in the mirror shook its head. "This is what Valentine and I are interested in. As we all know, only gods can be free from the restriction of the laws. Hehe … No matter how Raphael came here, or whether he has the ability to go back, since he is here, at least it proves that … he is hiding a secret that is enough to drive the powerhouses crazy."
Becoming a god! Leonardo almost couldn't breathe, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Now you understand what I mean?" The great demon in the mirror smiled. "Tell Loncor not to provoke the Holy Crown City. It has nothing to do with winning or losing. A dead Raphael is worthless to us. After we control the other regions, how can the Holy Crown City stop us?! Hehe … It is said that Raphael is a person who values friendship very much. We have too many ways to deal with him. Now, we just need to be patient! "
"Father, but … but …" Leonardo stuttered and hesitated on the surface, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" The great demon in the mirror asked. "What makes you so nervous?"
"Raphael has already left the Holy Crown City." Leonardo took a deep breath. "He … has already arrived at Esnolli City."
"What??" The great demon in the mirror suddenly opened its eyes wide.
"Raphael has already arrived at the Freedom Federation!" Leonardo said with difficulty.
"Where are your brothers? Why don't I see them? "The great demon in the mirror hurriedly asked.
"They … they are leading reinforcements to attack Esnolli City."
The great demon in the mirror had already turned into a statue. After a moment, its voice suddenly became extremely gloomy. "Leonardo, don't do anything wrong. Don't let down my trust in you!"
"Father …" Leonardo knelt on the ground, his body slightly trembling. "I have tried to dissuade them, but … but Richard won't listen to me. Father, no matter what I say, Richard just won't listen to me. I really can't do anything!"
"Of course Richard won't listen to you." The great demon in the mirror said gloomily. The kindness and kindness just now had all turned into a thick murderous intent. "Or … you deliberately made him not listen to you?"
Leonardo bowed deeply, almost crawling on the ground. Tears of grievance dripped down his cheeks. "Father … no, no …"
"You're too arrogant, Leonardo … you're too arrogant!" The lips of the great demon in the mirror trembled slightly. "I thought that letting you work together would ease the tension between you two. This is my fault … my fault … how could water and fire merge … Leonardo, I'll give you one last chance. Go, go find them and bring them back in one piece!"
"Father, don't worry, I'll go immediately!" Leonardo's face revealed a resolute expression, but his heart was cold. He discovered that his father's love for him wasn't as deep as he thought. Moreover, his father didn't believe his explanation at all. Did he really see through his scheme, or was he just angry at him?
"You guys, keep a close eye on him!" The great demon in the mirror coldly said.
Leonardo was stunned for a moment, then understood that his father was instructing the demons behind him. His heart couldn't help but become even colder.
It was said that if one's heart was as calm as a lake but his face was as calm as a lake, he would be able to become a general. This saying was a bit comical. Being as calm as a lake didn't mean that one's heart was as calm as water! Could one become a general just by being able to control one's facial muscles?
No matter what kind of person they were, they had their own reverse scale. Donald was able to become the leader of the Abyss World. His strength, wisdom, and strategy were imaginable. However, when he understood that his children were in great danger, he was really confused. A long time ago, Raphael, who wasn't very strong, was still able to kill the seven Wip brothers. This news had spread throughout the demon race. What would happen now?
Therefore, Donald cruelly stripped Leonardo of his disguise. Every word was harsh, and he even gave orders to the demons. If he had a few more minutes, he might have discovered his own stupidity. Leonardo was the only demon with demon talent. If Leonardo really had any thoughts of betrayal, would he be able to stop him?
Even if he really wanted to deal with Leonardo, he should have told him to do his best. If something really happened, he had to ensure his own safety first. When he lured Leonardo back, he would be a fish on the chopping board. He could cut him however he wanted.
The problem was that Donald didn't think so much at this moment. Everything was based on his instincts as a father. No matter what kind of life it was, there would always be a softness, a love, and a righteousness.
"I'll wait for your news." Donald left behind his last words. Then the mirror shattered, and the long-horned demon turned into a pile of mud and slowly collapsed.
Leonardo slowly lowered his head. His eyes were filled with confusion. What should he do? In the duel, he had blinded one of Richard's eyes. There was an irreconcilable hatred between them. Richard was always against him. He thought this was a very good opportunity. Raphael dared to leave the Holy Crown City, so he must have made sufficient preparations. Also, he had received news a few days ago that the reinforcements of the Horde Alliance were approaching Esnorly City. They would arrive by today at the latest. Considering all these factors, without the Flame Tyrant Lonker, the chance of the Abyss army winning was very low. Therefore, he made the decision to kill with a borrowed knife! At that time, the blame for the failure would definitely be borne by his brothers. It would be better if one or two of them died. And because he tried his best to stop them in advance, not only was he not at fault, he was even rewarded.
At this moment, Leonardo finally realized that he was too naive. The so-called perfect plan needed a prerequisite. He could still gain Donald's trust. Without trust … everything would become extremely ridiculous!
"Sir?" An Abyss demon suddenly saw Leonardo standing still for a long time and reminded him.
"You guys wait here. I'll go make some preparations," Leonardo said slowly.
"Prepare? Sir, what do you want to prepare? "The Abyss demon asked.
"Of course, how to save those good-for-nothings." Leonardo's tone turned cold. "But … do I need to explain it to you?"
Seeing that their leader was angry, the abyssal demons all lowered their heads. Among the several 'princes', Leonardo was the strongest and had been widely recognized. That was why Donald had appointed Leonardo to control the Purple Hell Flower. It had to be known that this was the highest leader of the intelligence agency and had great authority. It could be said that he was unparalleled among the younger generation and deserved to be called number one.
Although Donald had ordered them to keep an eye on Leonardo, they didn't dare to get involved in the matter between the father and son. They turned a blind eye to it. If they really angered Leonardo, he could easily find a reason to kill them.
A moment later, Leonardo appeared again. He didn't say anything and only waved his hand, releasing Instant Transmission. His target was Esnorly City. The abyssal devils groaned inwardly. In just a few breaths of time, Leonardo's figure had already teleported several hundred meters away. Even if they wanted to firmly carry out the order, they couldn't catch up …
A few minutes after Leonardo left Hell's Gate, another long-horned demon's figure suddenly began to twitch. Following a burst of blood mist, Donald appeared again. His face had become very calm, but his lips were slightly pale. Clearly, releasing this kind of spell consecutively consumed a lot of his strength.
Leonardo, on the other hand, seemed to be angry with someone. He didn't say a word and just kept using Instant Transmission. As for those Abyssal Devils, he had already thrown them more than ten miles away. He didn't know how long he had been traveling, but when the sky started to brighten, he saw a black mass of people coming from afar. Leonardo's figure suddenly stood there, stunned. Defeated … I really lost … However, the Abyssal Devils must be the fastest to escape, but where are they?
