The chain swept out with Li Ke's fury, sending all the scarecrows around him flying like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves. Moreover, all of them were set ablaze. Their shriveled and twisted bodies were quickly incinerated.
And his behavior naturally angered the owner of this place. The wind seemed to have accelerated a little, and the trees began to sway. In the process of swaying, not only did more scarecrows appear, but they also faintly surrounded Li Ke. After the trees swayed wildly, scarecrows holding scythes appeared in front of Li Ke and raised their hands high.
These scarecrows were obviously much dimmer than the other scarecrows, but the strange feeling was incomparably clear. It was so clear that Riko could see wisps of black gas being absorbed by the chains on his hands. He could also feel the threat of these scarecrows, which made him feel a sense of fear. Just as he was about to swing the anti-magic chain that he didn't even know why it was burning and smash the four scarecrows into pieces, the heads of the scarecrows started moving. Then, a hoarse and creepy voice could be heard.
"Why is there another prisoner …"
It was a scarecrow in front of Li Ke. The moment it spoke, Li Ke whipped the chain on its face, smashing it and the rest of its words into pieces. But …
"… It's okay …"
The scarecrow on Li Ke's left continued to speak, but just like the previous one, it was smashed into pieces by Li Ke and turned into a broken torch dancing in the air. But unfortunately, even though Li Ke already knew their routine and whipped the chain directly at the scarecrow behind him, the scarecrow still said something that Li Ke didn't want to say before it was smashed into pieces.
"… He can still fight …"
Li Ke couldn't help but recall the scene from that day. The flames on the chain in his hand burned even brighter, but when he was about to break up the scarecrow on the left and turn his head, his face touched a cold and moist straw!
The scarecrow, which was supposed to be far away from him, actually appeared beside him in an instant and stuck to his body!
"… Li Ke … why did you … abandon me …"
It was Aichy's voice!
Li Ke slashed the scarecrow that stuck to him with Yattox. The scarecrow fell to the ground, burning, and began to dissipate with the wind. But whether it was Yattox or Li Ke, who suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his body and half-knelt on the ground, he was surprised to find that the flame he just summoned was the Fire of Orne that he had once extracted. So, he forcefully suppressed his anger and calmed himself down.
"Is there really a way to use Orne's divine power that I don't know?"
Looking at the slowly extinguishing flames, Li Ke instinctively thought of the residual divine power in his body and thought that this was the correct way to use the Fire of Orne. After all, he knew that squandering the extracted power directly like he did was actually the wrong way to do it.
"Fedetic …"
And Yattox finally remembered the real name of this monster and the thing that should have been forgotten long ago.
"Your magic was actually able to awaken this thing. It seems like it's really beyond my imagination … It seems like you're about to face a lot of trouble. If you don't have anything else to do, I suggest you run away as soon as possible."
For the first time, Yattox had a strange feeling in front of Li Ke, making Li Ke feel a little incredulous.
"The god who claims to be the destroyer of the world actually feels fear?"
Li Ke still didn't think that this monster could be very powerful. Although the power he displayed was very terrifying, and he could even directly express his fear and make himself feel faintly afraid, he felt that it was just that. He had defeated death so many times, and even the Grim Reaper here had personally said that he wouldn't die so easily.
"Ah, mortals are mortals."
Yattox sighed helplessly.
"You don't know what you're facing at all, and you can't understand our spirit and will at all."
He recalled the information he knew and slowly began to tell Li Ke as he continued to move forward.
"Although I scoff at the fact that it represents fear itself, it can indeed gain power from people's fear. And the stronger your fear, the more things you are afraid of. The more people you are afraid of, the stronger it will be."
Yattox's words were somewhat emotional. After all, if it were in the past, he wouldn't hesitate to take the lead and kill this monster. But now, he just wanted to stay far away and let this monster destroy more places, kill more people, and push this world to the edge of destruction to reduce its workload. So it was impossible to say that he was afraid of Fedetic because he was the destroyer of the world. And he didn't think that a mere demon could kill him or make him fall into fear.
After all, even the gods in the sky couldn't kill him, let alone this disgusting thing.
But even though he thought so in his heart and felt that it was the special effect of Li Ke's magic that caused this demon to awaken from its slumber, it was a pity that this wasn't the case. Yattox didn't want to admit it, but …
He also had fear.
Fear of the darkness, fear of loneliness, fear that he would forever be in a dark abyss without anything, only himself, and only himself. He was afraid of such treatment and went completely crazy because of it.
So what awakened this ancient slumbering demon wasn't only the fear in those people's hearts, Li Ke's magic, and most importantly, Yattox's fear. But he refused to admit this and thought that it was all Li Ke's fault. He didn't want to think about his fear because even if he parasitized Li Ke's body, he would only temporarily forget his fear for a period of time. In fact, he had always been living in his own fear, and the number and magnitude of his fear were far beyond the imagination of mortals.
Fear, in fact, had a quality.
As for Yatokus, who was an ancient deity with an extraordinary willpower, his fear was the best food for Feidecht. It was also the opportunity to completely awaken him.
