The towering pitch-black waterfall continued to drop droplets from the sky, gradually turning the entire earth black.
The gushing black liquid began to flow along the lines of the formation, gradually spreading from the surroundings of the formation to all directions.
The demihumans felt that the sky was getting darker, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the sky.
The huge eyes seem to be able to see everything.
The stars of nothingness turned around and headed towards the endless blackness.
A leisurely and heavy voice, like a bit of heavy breathing, slowly fell from the dark depths of his eyes.
That mysterious sound was like a carving knife, constantly affecting their sanity.
"Ha-b-ka-"
The dark tentacles waved wildly in the sky, following the countercurrent waterfall, and began to approach the earth.
The same color can only be recognized through the faint outline.
Mysterious pitch-black tentacles climbed up the bodies of the demihumans one after another, completely entangled from their hands to their feet.
No one can resist those mysterious creations.
They were completely submerged in the darkness, unable to see each other clearly.
He could only let the tentacles begin to erode his body.
Wrapped in darkness, they felt that their bodies were being peeled off layer by layer, and their souls seemed to have nowhere to hide under their eyes.
My limbs are weak and becoming more and more limp.
There seemed to be some mysterious brand on his body, and a hot feeling emerged from his heart.
The tentacles gradually faded away from their bodies, and involuntarily, their bodies lay flat on the ground.
That posture was like worshiping something to the sky.
The extremely dark and huge vertical eyes looked around and tightened the pupils.
After an unknown amount of time, the power surged out from the darkness beneath my feet like a tide, penetrated from the soles of my feet and palms, and gradually returned to my limbs.
They felt their limbs gradually regaining control and slowly raised their heads.
The huge and mysterious eye in the sky disappeared without knowing when.
Instead, there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
The bright moonlight broke through the dark clouds, fell on the dark ground, and fell on their dull faces.
They came back to reality completely, and their consciousness returned to reality.
He raised his head and slowly looked forward.
Victor was standing in front of them.
The terrifying twisted crow was still standing on his shoulders.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But the scenes they had experienced before were deeply imprinted in their minds.
Just thinking about it makes my body shudder.
It was as if the black tentacles were touching their bodies again.
"Now, answer me."
The cold voice of the man in front of him sounded in the ears of every demi-human.
They couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the indifferent Victor.
Awe suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart and spread throughout my body.
Several cat girls shook their bodies slightly.
Click~
There was the sound of the armor rubbing against his body.
Instinctively raising their arms, the red sword blade seemed to be filled with warmth, but at some point, it was held in their hands.
An astonishing force slowly came from the forearms, supporting them.
The demi-humans were silent.
They looked at the compatriots around them. Almost all of them were wearing the same armor and holding the same weapons.
Finally, they looked at Victor and responded.
A cat girl knelt down on one knee towards Victor.
Then, the remaining secret guards followed her behind and bent down.
boom! boom! boom!
The demihumans knelt down on one knee in unison towards Victor, with one hand on their chest and the other wrapped around their bodies.
This is an allegiance that belongs only to them.
Victor smiled with satisfaction.
Under the moonlight, his shadow was stretched very long.
The dark and mysterious shadow seemed to be grinning, looking extremely mysterious and evil.
.......
"How on earth did you do that?"
After the missionary ceremony, Liya found Victor with great doubts and asked the questions in her heart.
Liya was not among the missionary targets, so she did not know what those demi-humans had experienced.
At this time, Victor was standing in the center of the martial arts arena.
But there was no one around him.
The mansion could not accommodate so many demi-humans for the time being, so Leon could only take the surrendered demi-humans to other residences temporarily.
Until the new compound is built, a place that can accommodate many demihumans will be built.
When she learned that Victor wanted her to call a group of demi-humans, Liya herself couldn't believe it.
Victor actually wanted to use a group of demi-humans to form his own personal escort.
Earls can recruit private soldiers to reasonably protect their territory. For ordinary earls, they will train some knights.
This is the origin of family knights.
Magical groups like Duke Levi's are relatively rare because they require a large number of magicians to form.
In fact, Liya initially thought that Victor would recruit some mages to form his own group of mages.
But Victor didn't do this.
Instead he chose a group of demi-humans who were difficult to teach.
Although demihumans resemble humans, they are full of wild nature.
This is also a major reason why humans cannot treat them as normal humans.
Even after training, most of their wild nature will not be suppressed.
Keeping these wild qualities will make it easier for gregarious demi-humans to move in groups.
This leads to the fact that demihumans are not very disciplined and find it difficult to accept discipline.
Basically, they just follow Leah's orders.
After all, demihumans know how to repay kindness better than humans.
Liya thought it would take Victor a while to completely tame these demihumans.
Unexpectedly...
In just one night, they all pledged their loyalty to Victor.
Liya was very curious about what Victor had done.
Victor just explained lightly:
"Charisma."
"???"
Liya glanced at Victor with disdain and said venomously.
"Are you worthy of saying this word?"
In Liya's eyes, Victor's label can only be added points if he is handsome, good at magic and very powerful.
As for the subsequent change in his attitude towards him, it was because Victor gradually became more like a human being.
Although it looks pretty good now.
Well, she had to admit, Victor was pretty good now.
At least she wasn't annoying.
But demihumans are not creatures that will voluntarily surrender just by looking at them.
Victor glanced at her and said again:
"There will be a sense of struggle between beasts,"
"If the strength is equal, or there is only a slight difference, they will fight each other."
"But if there is an obvious disparity in strength."
"like this."
After the words fell, Victor stretched out a hand.
Around the wrist, a red light gradually emerged from the hand.
Two flames burst out instantly.
Red flames danced in the air.
The ball fluttered for a while and turned into a vicious dog, with orange flames flashing all over its body.
The vicious dog kept barking fiercely at the other flame.
But then, another group of primitive flames began to spread around as if passing through the meridians.
The red lines gradually build up an extremely strong tiger.
The terrifying tiger just stood there, with its head raised, looking proudly at the vicious dog in front of it, without even breathing.
The vicious dog wrapped in flames clamped its tail, lowered its head, and crawled on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Liya looked at the state of the tiger and the vicious dog, and suddenly understood something, and said:
"So, you compare yourself to a tiger."
"No."
Victor said calmly.
"not only that."
Suddenly, the original evil dog was infused with magic power, and the flames became a little more intense.
The size of the vicious dog gradually increased until it reached a height that even two tigers could not reach if they were stacked on top of each other.
The flames burned angrily.
Everything around seemed to be completely illuminated, and the temperature began to rise sharply.
Liya felt the heat around her, and even breathing became a little difficult.
She squinted her eyes and saw two ferocious heads growing out of the shoulders of the flaming vicious dog.
The huge mouth of the abyss is filled with flickering flames, which are constantly falling, burning and cracking the earth beneath their feet.
The flames kept rising from it, as if expressing endless anger.
The firelight soaring into the sky illuminated the dark night so brightly that even the moon became dim.
The tiger on the side lowered his head in fear when he saw the evil dog transformed into this appearance, and his tail stopped wagging.
But perhaps out of its dignity as the king of the forest, it still growled twice at the three-headed dog.
The three-headed dog with its whole body burning with flames just glanced at it.
In an instant, it turned into endless fierce flames, completely engulfing the tiger.
And this made me stronger again.
The flame grows and burns fiercely.
The three-headed dog opened its three huge mouths and barked wildly toward the sky.
"Ouch——!!!"
The screams, accompanied by the high temperature, resounded throughout the house.
Liya stared blankly at the three-headed flaming dog.
"This... what kind of creature is this?"
"Cerberus, the Watchdog of Hell."
Victor raised his hand casually, and the flames gradually dissipated.
Only red and black Mars fragments were left, slowly dissipating in the air.
He turned around and gently patted Liya on the shoulder.
"If I get a chance, I'll give you something real."
"?"
Liya was stunned, looking at Victor's back in confusion.
Slowly left towards the mansion.
…
As soon as the sky started to light up, the Delin Mansion began to operate like a machine.
Gwen was holding a long sword in the martial arts arena, preparing for training.
But she always felt unmotivated.
As if absent-minded.
After returning from the north, he was summoned by Emperor Aubrey.
She has been in this inexplicably irritable state.
The long sword in his hand became a little unstable.
Maybe it was because recently, she felt that her strength had reached a bottleneck.
I don’t know how many times I have rehearsed the movements, but also made many mistakes.
"...Victor."
She gripped the sword tightly and looked at the flat ground in front of her.
This morning, Victor still didn't come.
Victor hasn't come to her for sparring in a long time.
She could understand it, after all, the Cravenas' house hadn't been peaceful recently.
She closed her eyes and tried to remember the feeling of sparring with Victor.
Only then could she feel that all the muscles in her body were being fully mobilized.
While Gwen continued to practice sword swinging, a maid hurried to Gwen's side.
He lowered his head and said with great respect to Gwen:
"The head of the family."
Since she inherited her father's title, the servants around her have also changed their names for her.
Although she has emphasized that you just need to address her in the usual way.
But these servants felt that only the title of the head of the household could emphasize her status.
Only then can she always remember.
She is no longer the ordinary knight.
Now she is Earl Gwen Delyn.
A knight count who controls a large amount of territory in the north.
She stopped swinging her sword, wiped her sweat, and turned to look at the servant.
The servant lowered his head respectfully and presented a letter with both hands.
Gwen was a little confused, but the servant said.
"This is an invitation letter from the Cravenas."
"Count Victor hopes to have dinner with you tonight."
