The sky was dark.
A layer of snow covered the ground.
The air was cold.
A little girl in thin clothes curled up in a corner and trembled.
"The gold coins that Mr. Good Man gave me have been lost again.”
"Britney, why are you so useless!”
Looking at the bright and warm buildings, Britney's eyes flashed with envy.
With trembling hands, he took out the last box of matches from his pocket.
Crash!
The flame ignited, bringing some warmth.
Soon, this faint warmth also slowly disappeared.
Britney's desire for warmth lit a second match.
The wooden sticks that had been burned out were piled on the ground. There was only one match left in the box.
His green fingers trembled as he lit the last match.
In the flickering fire, steady footsteps sounded.
Britney raised her gray eyes and looked in the direction of the voice through the flames.
In the darkness, a white-haired old man slowly walked over.
With a loving smile on his face, he slowly extended a hand toward her.
"My good child, do you have any wishes?”
"Grandma…"
Britney murmured, her vision blurring.
"I think... To a place where there was no hunger or cold.”
"Good child, then sign this contract!”
The kind grandmother smiled as she took out a sheepskin scroll and handed it to the girl.
Under the flickering oil lamp, the old man's shadow seemed a little distorted.
"Sign it. After you sign it, you will be far away from all pain and hunger. Grandma will take you to a world without pain.”
The light voice carried an indescribable bewitchment.
The blurry young girl in front of her raised her trembling finger.
"I was wondering who would be so shameless as to make things difficult for a poor child. So it's the devil.”
A light voice sounded.
The kind smile on Grandma's face slowly disappeared.
He slowly looked behind him.
Rhode, who was wearing a fur cloak, leaned against the wall and smiled at the two of them.
"Sir!"
Britney regained her senses and was surprised to see Rhode.
He subconsciously wanted to introduce her.
"This is my grandmother. She…"
Britney's voice suddenly sounded. Didn't her grandmother die a few years ago?
"She's already dead, right?"
The corners of Rhode's mouth twitched as he looked at the expressionless old lady.
"Why, why aren't you revealing your true form now?”
"Do you want me to do it myself?"
The old lady's expression gradually turned sinister as she glared at Rhode.
"Human, I haven't offended you, have I?”
"No, I just feel that I can't stand people bullying children.”
Rhode shrugged.
"This has nothing to do with you. Leave now and I'll pretend you never appeared.”
The old woman's tone was cold and threatening.
"Are you threatening me?"
The smile on Rhode's face slowly disappeared, and a violent force emerged from his body.
"I'm not threatening you. I'm just giving you a friendly warning.”
The demon's voice softened.
"This child has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to make an enemy of me for an outsider? As long as you don't interfere, you'll be a friend of our demon race.”
"Sounds tempting."
Rhode raised his eyebrows and looked at the demon with a playful expression.
"But, do you think you're qualified to negotiate with me?”
"Get lost now. I'll pretend you never appeared. If you don't get lost, then stay here.”
The demon's voice suddenly became low.
"Then you and this little girl will become my collection!”
Whoosh!
A pair of huge bat wings emerged from his back, and the human shell was torn apart by a pair of sharp claws.
A skinless demon with flames on its head crawled out of the shell.
It had two huge horns on its head, and a flame was swaying at the end of its tail.
The bat spread its wings and cast a shadow that covered the entire chest. The demon glared at Rhode fiercely.
"Wait a minute!"
"Are you regretting it? Then get lost!"
"I just want to make sure that if I don't get lost, don't you want to fight to the death with me here and only one of us can leave alive?”
Rhode asked.
Although demons had strange abilities, they were not as powerful as demons.
Compared to strength, they were better at scheming.
Of course, his most famous skill was his escape technique.
If a demon wanted to escape, he wouldn't be able to stop it at all.
The devil rolled his eyes and a hint of treachery flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, I want this little girl's soul. If you don't get lost, only one of us can leave this place alive!”
"If you're scared, get lost now.”
The devils were not like the boorish demons.
They played with their brains. If they could solve the problem without fighting, why would they put in so much effort?
Moreover, it was uncertain about this kid's strength.
If it encountered a tough opponent, it would be the one at a disadvantage.
It would be best if she could scare him away.
"Your words are enough. We can start fighting now.”
Rhode's lips twitched, and his bright smile made the devil's hair stand on end.
He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Hunting!"
Rhode didn't intend to argue with this demon anymore.
With a flick of his finger, the Magic Power of Snatch was activated.
The devil felt that he had been played, and his face was filled with anger.
Just as he was about to get angry, he felt that his strength was rapidly disappearing.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands had snatched it away from her body.
" Language, Mind, Bewitchment, Space, Distortion, Illusion, Disaster."
"The power of you devils is really complicated.”
Rhode stretched his body lazily as he looked at the terrified demon.
Swoosh!
In a flash, he appeared in front of the devil like a hunting leopard.
A punch was thrown out!
The demon's eyes blurred, but it barely managed to keep up with his speed and raised its hand to block.
In the end, he was sent flying by a terrifying force.
Like a corpse, he crashed into a wooden pole by the roadside.
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
Under the light, the shadows were elongated.
Rhode walked towards them slowly with oppressive steps.
"We agreed that only one person would leave alive. Don't run away.”
"Devil!"
The demon couldn't help but shudder when he saw the two rows of bright teeth in his grin.
Between the two of them, who was the devil?
"Damned human, you're too stupid. I'm a demon, and lying and cunning are my nature. How can I keep my promise to a human like you?”
The demon got up and mocked loudly.
He spread his wings and flew into the sky.
This human was too strange. If he continued to fight, he would definitely die.
It was better to escape first.
The demon randomly chose a direction and flew over at the fastest speed it could muster in its life.
"This stupid human, when I recover my strength, I will come back for you sooner or later.”
The fleeing abominations looked at the castle behind them with hatred in their eyes.
"Strange, why did my body suddenly become so heavy?”
All of a sudden, the demon felt its speed slow down, and its body gradually stiffened.
"No, why can't I move?”
The terrified demon couldn't help but look down.
A grayish-white mark spread from the soles of his feet.
In just a few seconds, the greyish-white color had already spread to his wings.
The demon, whose wings were completely petrified, fell from the sky in despair.
Pa!
A crisp sound rang out.
The petrified body was torn apart.
"You're courting death. Why bother?"
Rhode stood on the spot and shook his head in pity.
Lying and breaking promises in front of him, did he really think that his true commandments were just for show?
He was hopeless. He was dead.
There's no whole body. Let's bury it.
