Killing these demons was a piece of cake for Duanmu Huai. It only took one Whirlwind Slash. In the blink of an eye, all the demons that had pounced at him from every direction had been smashed into mincemeat.
"Bang!!"
As the warhammer came crashing down, the demons around him exploded one after another. Only then did Duanmu Huai put away his weapon and scan the area.
Hmm?
Much to Duanmu Huai's surprise, according to the information displayed by the Augury Device, there were actually still signs of life here.
Could that demon really not have been lying to me?
In any case, he would know once he went over to take a look.
With that thought, Duanmu Huai continued forward. At the end of the corridor, the door was tightly locked, but he paid it no heed. He simply tore the door off its hinges and walked inside.
It looked like a warehouse, but what was stored here was not cargo. It was people. They were locked in groups of three or five inside iron cages, their faces filled with unease. When they saw Duanmu Huai stride through the door, they shrieked and huddled together.
Hmm...
Duanmu Huai walked forward and carefully examined the people in front of him, scanning them all.
There was no problem. They were not illusions like the ones before, but real human beings. In other words, those demons had captured people and locked them up here?
What were they trying to do?
"Damn demons!"
Just as Duanmu Huai was staring at the group and thinking, one of the men glared at him furiously and roared.
"Don't think we'll ever submit to you! Even if I have to die, I'll die with honor as an Imperial soldier! Your blasphemous ritual won't succeed. Demon King Belial
