Chapter 222 112: Halftime
Carl narrowly avoided the black shadow attacking from a distance, and pushed away a fool who was trying to get close to take a photo.
Looking at the circle of cracks caused by the shock wave on the ground, he could feel the difficulty of the opponent, which was obviously not on the same level as the ones he had dealt with before.
The demon in front of him might have witnessed Carl killing his own kind, and had completely lost trust in him, so he took the initiative to attack.
"Little devil, how about you help us negotiate a peace."
[Hehe, you are no match for him. Give me your body now, maybe I can save it. ]
"It's a good suggestion, but as long as I think about facing you as soon as I turn my head, death doesn't seem to be an unacceptable problem."
【Take a deep breath and die! 】
I teased the little devil for a few words, but didn't get any useful information.
"You, traitor!" The demon opposite was burly, with two heads with golden and silver horns respectively. One head said a sentence, and the other head continued, his anger towards Carl was already beyond words.
As he spoke, another punch came flying at him.
"No, look at this, listen to me and explain." After dodging another round of attacks, Carl thought about countermeasures.
"No, imitate me and talk like me, damn it!" At this moment, Jin Yinjiao just wanted to crush Carl's head like a can.
Carl shrugged: "I've been like this since I was a kid."
[.Very good, you have succeeded in completely angering this guy. If you still have a little survival instinct, run away! ]
Karl was not panicked, but his eyes lit up.
It turns out that the little devil is not afraid of death. So is there any possibility that he can be exploited?
"Give me some more strength, or I won't be able to run."
[You threaten me?! Especially at this time?! Ridiculous, I wish you were torn into pieces! So that I can return to the arms of the Demon Lord.]
"Well, it seems that this is where I will be buried."
Carl restrained his expression, looked at the gold and silver horns rushing towards him, picked up the machete, and advanced instead of retreating.
【.】
The two crossed each other, and at this moment he seemed to be dancing on the edge of a knife, the machete left blood marks on the opponent's body, while the devil's fist was always a millimeter away from him.
Jinyinjiao can make countless mistakes, but Carl can only make one mistake.
"Give it to me and die!"
After several rounds, Jin Yinjiao finally figured out Carl's attack pattern. He slammed the machete into the sky and punched Carl, who had no time to dodge.
[****, I should have found a dog to parasitize, it would be more reliable than parasitizing you. ]
Instantly, Carl felt that the sounds around him were infinitely stretched, and everything in front of him was infinitely slowed down. The huge fist, the tourists dodging the onlookers, the soldiers on guard with guns...
"Is this your trump card? Bullet time, not bad."
The little devil didn't reply.
Carl didn't know how long this could last, so he tried hard to control his body and jumped up in slow motion, grabbed the machete that had not yet hit the ground, aimed at the opponent's demon head, and chopped it down suddenly.
At this moment, the effect disappeared, and Carl's face turned pale. His heart seemed to be dying and could not beat anymore.
Maybe it was because the heart had to maintain a normal beating rate in that slow motion, which was too much of a burden.
The golden-horned head fell from the body with an incredible look in his eyes. As soon as the silver-horned man let out a scream, Carl, who was riding on his neck, pierced his mouth with a bloody machete.
The demon's body twitched, his eyes gradually became unfocused, and he fell straight down.
Carl jumped away and glanced at the troops who were about to charge forward. He showed no signs of injury or fatigue, but in fact used his last bit of strength to follow the retreat route he had planned in advance.
Before dealing with this so-called Demon Lord, he did not want to be restricted by the official authorities, especially now that there was an inexplicable demon in his body. Even if he could make others believe that the demon was temporarily controlled by him, he would not gain the official trust.
"Captain, are you chasing me?"
".You take people to chase after them."
"I understand."
A team split off several people and jogged towards the place where Carl disappeared.
Someone from the team walked forward with an instrument, preparing to confirm the demon's death.
But before he got close enough, he seemed to hear some subtle sounds coming from the demon's body.
Whatever it was, it was definitely not a good thing, so he turned and ran.
But it was too late. Suddenly, a crack appeared on the chest of the fallen demon, and more than a dozen thin tentacles stretched out. In the blink of an eye, they tied up all the people nearby. Even the troops who were deliberately standing at a distance to be on guard were no exception and were disarmed.
Even the pistol was entangled. The captain, whose leg was pulled, had to take out a knife to try to cut it off, but found that he could not cut the strange tentacle.
"Support, the west gate of the stadium requests support!"
"Captain, this can't be pulled!"
"Pick up the gun. Pick up the gun."
The captain held on tightly to a passing railing and stretched out his hand hard to pick up a rifle dropped by a comrade not far away.
"Help! Help me!"
The shrill and desperate screams suddenly covered up other sounds, and people subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Right in the front, the man who was about to check the demon's death condition was about to be pulled into the body of the corpse's tentacles. The only thing that could delay him was the gap between the floor tiles that he was clinging to, but as the tentacles continued to pull, he could only watch his fingers slip through the gap one by one.
And his cry for help seemed to be of no use. After all, as far as he could see, his teammates could hardly protect themselves, and most of the tourists had already fled. He could not help but send out a desperate cry for help, but most of what he got was helplessness and helplessness.
As the last finger lost friction, he looked back and could already see a big mouth full of sharp teeth wriggling in the black body, ready to taste him carefully.
Swish!
When death was approaching, a lightsaber in the air was sent into the strange big mouth first and penetrated directly. With a violent and strange scream, the big mouth gurgled into a pool of black mud, and the tentacles twisted, throwing several soldiers away, and finally turned into black mist and dissipated.
Jennifer drew out her lightsaber, held the cross hilt and slowly stood up, looking at the remains of the demon at her feet, which were a mixture of black mud and minced meat, and frowned slightly. The demons here seemed to be different from the demons she had dealt with before, but their auras were very similar, and they had no resistance to the holy light.
"Excuse me, are you Sister Jennifer? Thank you for your help!" The captain limped over, still frightened, and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
"You're welcome. I've checked around the stadium, and this is the only one left." Jennifer looked at the stadium building. "The one inside..."
"The one fighting inside should be Sister Ye Jie." The captain knew that there would be two extraordinary nuns on the scene, and he must assist them unconditionally.
"Okay, I'll go in and help first." Jennifer only learned about Ye Jie from Vic a few minutes ago, and she couldn't help but feel curious about this fellow Paladin.
I don't know if the other party knows 'Owen (Shiraishi Ko)'.
After saying that, he jumped up, flew directly into the stadium.
But just as she passed the outer layer of the building and had no time to look into the stadium, she saw a small black dot being thrown high into the sky. Jennifer could sense the breath of the devil, and then, a gushing holy light - no, it should be called a pillar of light, rose from the lawn, slanted into the sky, and completely submerged the black shadow. The strong holy light made it difficult for ordinary people to look directly at it.
Jennifer opened her mouth slightly, looked at the small lightsaber in her hand, then looked at the beam of light that was beginning to fade, and calmly retracted the lightsaber. After making sure that the demonic aura had disappeared, she put on the cross.
If such exaggerated holy light couldn't destroy the demon, she felt that she probably couldn't be of any help.
She floated and landed some distance behind the other person. The other person also sensed Jennifer's presence and turned around.
Jennifer's eyes widened slightly and she subconsciously held her breath.
The person opposite her looked even younger than herself, with an appearance that was unforgettable at first sight. Her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing, and one could even see a hazy halo. Combined with the light spots still dissipating behind her and the mottled patches of grass, she looked like an angel who had descended from heaven and fought a great battle to destroy the devil.
Her confidence in her appearance was shattered for the first time, and the alarm bells in her mind were ringing subconsciously. She absolutely could not let Owen see her. Well, he had a close relationship with her!
Alas, let's just let nature take its course.
And he looks so young, could he be a newcomer who awakened his bloodline not long ago? Are all newcomers monsters?
"Jennifer, a battle sister, currently joins the Holy See on behalf of the Paladins." Because she was not sure about her Paladin bloodline, Jennifer did not include her last name when introducing herself.
"Ekterina Demonbard, Battle Sister." Ye Jie nodded slightly, her face tense, not knowing how to face this "companion" whom she had never met.
Jennifer's advantage is that she has seen a lot of the ways of the world, and she has also witnessed the acting skills of many big shots during this period, so she can easily see that the other party is embarrassed.
"Are you from Beilian?" Jennifer recognized the other person's accent.
"Yes. My English is not very good." Ye Jie nodded and further explained, "My parents and I have always lived in a very remote place. For a long time, I didn't know that I was the descendant of a Paladin."
"I didn't know I had the blood of a Paladin at first. It was Owen who found me and helped me activate my blood. Do you know Owen?" Jennifer introduced herself, got closer, and tried to find out if the other party knew Owen.
"Owen, I don't know him. The one who helped me activate my bloodline was Teacher Pa Ying. He is also a paladin and taught me a lot." Facing his companions, Ye Jie did not hide the existence of his teacher.
It seemed like I had seen this surname somewhere before. However, Ye Jie was born into a family of paladins, but his bloodline was activated by another paladin. He should also be a family of paladins whose inheritance was broken. He was a bit like me. Jennifer didn't dwell on it too much and continued chatting with him.
The devil seemed to feel that their behavior was somewhat disrespectful to him. In the east direction, the two of them felt something almost at the same time and turned their heads to look.
"There are two more demonic auras." Ye Jie looked at Jennifer.
"Then, each of us will be responsible for one direction. After we eliminate them, we will have a good talk." Jennifer smiled and flew up first.
Looking at the other person's back, Ye Jie, feeling that he was not alone, rarely smiled and chased after him.
The stadium was silent, with only the mess left on the ground. I believe that this place will inevitably enter a period of blockade and research, and will leave an indelible memory in the hearts of local people.
However, no one noticed that the blood spilled on the grass, which could not be distinguished as belonging to the devil or human, was slowly seeping down. On the stands, the blood of some corpses was also dripping down the steps and flowing to the ground.
Beneath the surface, a black bead that had been buried at an unknown time was embedded in a stone slab with engraved patterns. Blood gathered in it, lighting up the patterns and gradually dyeing the bead dark red.
On the ground, because they were heading in the same direction, Ye Jie and Jennifer arrived at the first demon aura point together. Looking down from the sky, they could see the garrison troops that had arrived fighting with several demons. The overall situation was similar to that at the stadium, with a demon that looked more advanced leading a group of less advanced demon thugs.
"Leave it to me." Jennifer said hello, took off the cross, turned it into a lightsaber, and rushed down.
Ye Jie carefully sensed the area and made sure that there was no particularly powerful existence before continuing to fly forward.
In less than twenty minutes, the last demon was cut quickly by Jennifer's lightsaber that was spewing white flames, completely losing the ability to resist. Then it was hit by a holy light bomb and turned into a pool of black mud. The battle came to an end temporarily.
"Wow, you're really fast."
Just as she dealt with the last demon and had no time to wipe the sweat off her face, Ye Jie rushed back.
What a child who doesn't understand the ways of the world. Don't you know that waiting a little longer will make me look more relaxed?
Complaints aside, she still liked such a simple companion. It made her feel more at ease, at least she didn't have to worry about anything other than combat.
"Maybe the demons on my side are easier to deal with." Ye Jie looked around. This place was similar to where she had just fought. Both were places with dense crowds of people. But now, it was in ruins, with corpses and blood all over the ground, which made her look gloomy.
"Cheer up, now is the time when we are needed. Save your anger and sadness for the next battle," Jennifer comforted.
"Well, Sister Jennifer, what do you think their purpose is? To create panic? If I'm not mistaken, there are some demons with strong combat power among them. Last time I wanted to kill such a demon, I was stopped by the powerful demon behind the scenes. Now he is sending these demons to die, and he doesn't show up. Isn't this very strange?"
Ye Jie frowned. She had been thinking about this question on the way here.
"Devil Lord, that's what they call the devil behind the scenes. As for the purpose, we can choose to trust President Vichi. It's much better for them to think about it as a group than for the two of us to struggle here. What we have to do is to speak out what we know and think."
Jennifer's greatest strength is that she is never self-righteous.
"Let's go back first and have a good rest. There may be more battles later." Jennifer glanced at the troops cleaning up the mess and took Ye Jie to the direction of the Kremlin, intending to ask Viktor for information first.
Among the crowd of onlookers in the distance, Carl, who was wearing makeup and looked pale as if he had been greatly frightened, walked out with some people, lowering his head in thought.
"Do you know something?"
[Haha, do you think I will be tricked by you? Ridiculous.]
Carl raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, this is exactly what I know. It indirectly answers his question."
"Since you are not afraid of death, then why can't we cooperate well? Become the first demon to turn over a new leaf. I think that even if you turn back now, the Demon Lord will not let you go. If you stand on the side of humans, maybe your name will be in the textbooks in the future."
[Damn it! You didn't even ask my name! Stop being so hypocritical!]
"Oh, so that's what you care about? So what's your name?"
