On one side was a wolf and on the other was a tiger. The Claw Splitter Demon, who looked ferocious but was not harmful for the time being, had a face that was comparable to Shadow Hunter Ito, the " young master " of the Imperial Entertainment. Neither side was good!
Brand, who seemed to have become the most powerful person in the battle, chuckled after thinking for a moment. In such a critical situation, Ramsay did not take the opportunity to escape or hit him when he was down. It seemed that the so-called having a backup plan was mostly just a tough talk. As for Ito, he was no longer a concern.
" Now... it's my turn to speak..." The mage took a deep breath and said these words that made the demon feel uneasy. As for the half-unconscious Ito, there was no need to consider his feelings at all. It was unknown if he could even get up from his half-dead state.
" Human…Our deal is valid…Ramsay!"”，The mage shouted and stopped the demon. Knowing that the other party was already putting on a show, there was no need to be polite. If they were in their shoes, they believed that the other party would have torn the mage into pieces long ago.
Brand caressed his staff and casually walked over. Suddenly, he kicked the Shadow Hunter, who he did not know if he was dead or alive. In return, he moaned faintly. He had almost been killed by this bastard who had repaid his kindness with ingratitude. A kick was only considered as interest, but the mage's next move was not so casual. The expensive staff hit Ito's back with a muffled sound. This time, there was no reaction at all.
Satisfied, Brand finished dealing with the Shadow Hunter and regained his elegance. He slowly said to the demon," Hell creature, tell me your real name, or else…" The Song of Destiny in his hand swayed gently. His movements were very gentle, and with the smile on his face, it was as if beating up a dying person crazily just now was not done by a mage.
" Ramsay, hahaha…I don't have much patience." He moved a few fingers on his left hand, as if he was about to cast a spell, but he didn't make the next move. The Claw Splitter Demon felt a chill down his spine. Indeed, the humans were a very difficult race to deal with. Although most of them were weak, the stronger the humans were, the fiercer their methods were. It was much more complicated than the simple logic of the demons in hell.
Ramsay, who had come to the human world for the first time, regretted being assigned this mission. Greed, it was all because of greed. However, it was too late to say this now. Instead of hoping that the enemy would be merciful, it was better to think of a way to avoid the disaster.
The surrounding trees that had been burned by the fireballs were no longer burning. Wisps of black smoke were rising from the branches that contained a lot of water. The choking smell could be smelled from dozens of steps away. As the wind blew, the black smoke flew towards them. The mage could not help but frown. He wanted to cover it with his sleeve, but he was afraid that the prey would escape.
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and there was a lot of ash from the burning inside. Brand felt uncomfortable in his throat and nose, and his eyes were so smoky that they felt like they were about to cry. Ramsay, who was overjoyed, slowly retreated toward the burning ashes. The Celestial Hound, who was also affected by the smoke, did not seem to notice anything unusual. Although its sense of smell might not have failed, its vision was greatly reduced at this time.
Three steps, five steps, six steps. According to the demon's body size, he was only halfway to the place where the fireball had burned. Ramsay, who had been tensed up, was about to slip away when he suddenly felt his body tighten. His footsteps seemed to have become much heavier, and he could not help but kneel down.
The panic-stricken Claw Splitter Demon did not know what had gone wrong. Could it be that his injuries had worsened again? Although this thought only lasted for a moment, his body still sank violently. Ramsay, who was kneeling on one leg, felt a sharp pain from the wound on his back.”，The demon cursed softly.
"You should be the one who deserves to die!" A white and blue light struck the demon's bald head, instantly burning its scalp, which was not protected by any hair or scales. The jumping electric arcs indicated that this was the mage's electric shock." Are all demons as stupid as you?”，Brand said calmly as he caught Ramsay, who was trying to escape.
"Or are you an idiot among demons? As a Mage, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. Although this is the first time I've seen a demon with my own eyes, it doesn't mean that my understanding of demons is as pale as your understanding of humans. Without waiting for the demon to react, the Mage waved his hand and had the Celestial Hound guard Ramsay's escape route.
" No, no…human…" After all, he was not a devil who was good with words. The pitiful words of the Claw Splitting Demon did not have the ability to quibble. "Enough! Demons born in hell would not be afraid of the smoke of ordinary fire. As for the eyes and throat of humans, they would not be able to resist such stimulation. You are even a little smart. Unfortunately, you forgot that mages sometimes do not need to breathe through their noses."
Indeed, when necessary, the 4th Tier spells that mages mastered: Underwater Breathing was a spell that could be cast without any incantation. It was not only suitable for underwater use, but it could also be used in situations similar to the one just now. However, it could not last too long, at most an hourglass. Many fishermen who were proficient in diving could do this. Of course, for mages, it was naturally easier to cast a 4th Tier spell.
The Claw Splitter Demon was not upset when he knew what his problem was. Although he did not think highly of distant demons who lied, cheated, and schemed, most demons would not resist surrendering to any place when they were at a disadvantage. Almost without thinking, Ramsay immediately gave up on the pointless resistance.
"Ramsay. Aesop. His real name had a certain binding power on demons, devils, and other creatures from the other world. However, unless he was powerful enough to take away the other party's soul with a wave of his hand, his real name was nothing more than a guarantee with complete procedures. " Human…I've already given my name to my Lord. You can't enslave me," the Claw Splitting Demon said honestly.
He silently recited the real name that the other party had given him. As expected, Ramsay's entire body trembled for a moment before there were no other special changes. "Toss the magic crystal over and tell me why you did this! Moon Well." The mage took a step back and made a reasonable request.
The Claw Splitting Demon followed Brand's request and threw out the irregular spherical crystal. It bounced on the grass and rolled in front of the mage, but it was stopped by a foot. Just as the mage was about to collect the spoils of war and listen attentively to the incident regarding the pollution of the Moon Well, Ramsay suddenly went berserk and stood up abruptly. He did not care that the blackish-red blood on his back was spilling out from his half-congealed wound. He heard a blood-curdling scream from the demon, and purple flames burst out of his body, making him look very demonic.
" No…my master, I dare not…dare not." The wailing Claw Splitting Demon no longer had the terror of a hellish creature. Its entire body trembled, and its pair of sharp claws stabbed towards its head. The seemingly arrogant mage did not dare to slack off at all. As the change occurred, the Hand of Magic and the Frostbolt struck Ramsay's chest at the same time.
Unfortunately, it was too slow. The sharp claws still pierced into the ferocious head. The Claw Splitter Demon's tall body lost its support and immediately fell to the ground. The whole thing happened in less than a breath. A faint shadow seemed to have escaped from the top of his head, which was bleeding profusely. This could not be hidden from the mages who had psychic senses. Just as Ramsay was about to commit suicide, his sixth sense had already locked onto the demon, so how could he not sense it?
It might not have been a high-level spell, but the electric shock had its own advantage against such a shadow. A mere level-four spell hit the shadow, which was barely visible in the air. The shadow, who was completely unprepared and thought that it could not be discovered, let out a mouse-like cry and quickly fled like an arrow leaving the bow, brushing past the bushes.
"What's that?" Muttering to himself, Brand didn't even bother to collect the expensive magic crystals. He stared blankly in the direction where Shadow had left.
"Shadow monsters…can occupy souls for a short period of time…"？”，The shocked Brand jumped up with his staff in hand. The various postures he had made earlier, whether they were cold, cunning, or unreasonable, were nothing more than the thought of risking his life rather than resigning himself to fate. Brand, who was just an ordinary mage at heart, had long relaxed after the enemy retreated. How could he withstand such a scare?
Fortunately, the Celestial Hound managed to jump to its master's side in time, which calmed the mage down a lot. After he calmed down, he realized that he was making a mountain out of a molehill. After Ito, who was crawling on the ground, said that sentence, he fell unconscious again. Brand took the half-moon blade from the man's hand and the other one on his back, then reached out and slapped the handsome man awake.
" Thank you... just now, the staff hit... the handle of the moonblade on my back." After saying this, he fainted again. No matter how much Mage Ren Sui struggled, there was no sign of him waking up.
