"Speak quickly! How many people are there and what is your purpose!"
Sensing the evil idea, Hero and Byrne kicked the ball in the tunnel.
"Stop, stop! I didn't say anything, why did you kick me as soon as you came up?!"
After kicking twice more to relieve his anger, Hero straightened the little devil's head again.
Except for the head, the rest of the body organs have been blown away by Holo. No matter how hard it rolls, it can't spit out anything.
"Tell me about your situation first!"
Hero pointed his finger on its head. The moonlight was hesitant and might explode at any time, which frightened the little devil.
It has been discovered by Hero.
It belongs to the state of the oil lamp's withering and silence. It has just swallowed the soul of an apprentice, but before it had time to digest it, it was scattered by Hero together with his body.
The only remaining power is the ghost hidden in the head.
But if there is no new supply of souls, the ghosts will soon dissipate.
“I really didn’t expect that I finally managed to snatch the body of a little devil and pass through the gate of hell and come to this world.
As a result, he was caught by you at the critical moment of digesting his soul. He was still such a weak apprentice. Not only did he not escape, he was not even greedy?
I just want to ask, what are the ingredients of you two? "
Although it is on the other side of the gate of hell, it has learned some news about the current world through the few words passed back by its companions.
But it's not nearly as good as the knowledge it just gained from devouring the apprentice.
He hadn't even fully digested that bit of knowledge.
But there was no way. Chun Chun suffered the disadvantage of having no social experience, and Hero saw through the hidden purpose of her words...
Hero recalled the twinkling light in its eyes after it devoured the soul:
"Because you don't understand the concept of equivalent exchange. What's buried deep in your soul is greedy desire. If you blindly want to seduce me, then I have to know what the price is."
"Don't explain it to it. The sound of the explosion just now should attract others' attention. What's more, the longer it is delayed, the more souls it will accumulate scattered in the mine."
At this moment, there were explosions all over the mine, which was not surprising.
But whether it was against a magician who behaved like a skull, or avoiding a big demon running around for freedom, Byrne still suggested that it was better to hide.
Hero said calmly to the little devil:
"Did you hear that? If you don't say anything, you won't have a chance."
"I said it!" A miserable cry came from the little devil's head, and he finally gave in.
Hero secretly activated [Famia's Illusion] to interrogate:
"Who are you? Don't talk about souls, don't play tricks on us! There are so many people of the same kind! What is your purpose! Explain everything!"
"We should be called... Nightmare Souls."
"Nightmare soul? What is it? Have you heard of it?"
Byrne searched the family records in his mind and did not find this title, so he turned to Hero and asked.
Hero didn't answer and continued to let him explain:
"go on."
"I was just born, so I don't know much. I only heard that the souls on this side of the door are very delicious. Compared with the souls of demons, they are more conducive to our accumulation of strength. However, the similar people who came here in the past few times only sent back some news. In the follow-up There was no movement.
I was just lucky enough to encounter the opening of the gate of hell this time! "
Holo and Byrne looked at each other. The nightmare souls that first came to their world must have been cleaned up by the archdukes. It is not known whether they escaped later.
After all, the mine has always been under contract jurisdiction.
Every time the Devil's Gate opens, there are only three days for the magician to enjoy the joy of hunting. The simplicity of hunting is also called a feast by the Chamber of Commerce.
After this, it is time for the Chamber of Commerce to send ordinary people in to mine.
Therefore, the nightmare soul can only accumulate power within those three days. Either the soul will be exhausted and die, or the accumulation will be completed and the conditions are ripe to directly seize the body magician.
Hero didn't think they would target ordinary people three days later.
One is because the entrance to the mine will be closed in three days. The Platinum Chamber of Commerce will first purify the inside of one side of the mine to prevent demons from hiding, but this is rarely the case under the eyes of the magicians.
Another purpose is to prevent enemy magicians from hiding in the mines and causing losses to subsequent mining.
What's more, the souls of ordinary people are not as fragrant as the souls of magicians.
Judging from the greedy appearance of the Nightmare Souls, Hero didn't think they could change their greedy habits.
"What is behind the gate of hell? Why are those demons rushing out like crazy? I even feel like they are scared."
The door to hell opened randomly, which made Hero a little curious about the world on the other side of the door.
"There... there are fallen ones, and all demons... including us are just their dolls... food..."
It seemed that the fallen one was too terrifying, and the voice of the nightmare soul who recalled him couldn't stop trembling.
"The Fallen?"
"Far more powerful than demons, but because the number is too small, the probability of encountering them is very low. If you encounter them, it will be endless torture. This is why those demons want to escape. You can't imagine their methods. .”
"I don't think I've ever said that before."
Hero stroked his chin and thought for a while:
"Such a strong individual should have never appeared in the Demon Gate before, otherwise there would definitely be records.
There was also an abnormality when the devil came out of the door. This could only be because the time and place when the devil's door was opened was too random, so they never encountered it. "
"Hehe, be lucky. If the door to hell is closed a little later, you can see him."
Hero thought of the group of demons scrambling to get out, and instantly thought:
"Is there a fallen person behind them this time?!"
"Hehe, he chased me all the way to the gate of hell, hahaha! I came over, but he didn't come over!"
The pleasure of escaping from death made the Nightmare Soul's already weak consciousness gradually begin to move toward chaos and turbidity due to the twisted nature of Holo's previous attacks.
Holo slapped the little devil's head twice to wake up the nightmare soul inside.
"So how many nightmare souls like you have come this time? Also! What are the conditions for seizing the body?"
"Same race... I don't know. When I crossed the gate of hell, I only sensed the aura of one of my own race, but you also know that I came here at the last moment. As for the conditions for seizing the body, that is..."
"Oh...what a coincidence, we meet again so soon."
Hearing the sound coming from the passage ahead, Hero stepped on the little devil's head, cutting off the half of the nightmare's unfinished sentence.
"It shouldn't be a coincidence, it should be the tracking method you left behind at that time."
Hero looked at the shadow of the passage and revealed the coincidence of the visitor.
The person with half of his head revealed from the shadows was the skull who signed a fair contract with him and actually came to plunder the obtained resources.
When he completely emerged from the shadows, he was still dragging the body of a big demon in his hand.
Whether it is the size of the body or the extra organs growing on the body, it all shows how powerful this big demon was during his lifetime.
