You Evil Human!

"Human, I think we can talk."

Silver Demon did his best to appear friendly.

Hearing Silver Demon's words, Gu Xin looked slightly strange. He felt that this demon... was a little too humanlike.

Meng Xiu and Blue Lotus also exchanged peculiar looks.

How should they put it?

Thinking of how leisurely and in-control Silver Demon had looked just a few minutes ago made them want to laugh.

"Tch." Wang Quan clicked his tongue. "Look at that face."

Silver Demon's scarlet pupils flickered repeatedly, but he still suppressed the fury in his heart.

"Human, I don't think we have any irreconcilable conflict. Why don't we leave it at that?"

Silver Demon carefully backed away, his tone remaining as friendly as ever.

"There's no benefit in fighting each other to the death here, human. Don't you agree?"

"Silver Demon." Gu Xin looked at Silver Demon with interest.

"You must have spent a long time among human society, right?"

"Of course. I've been lurking in that royal city for twenty years already." Silver Demon sounded quite proud.

"Then surely you understand that, in our human eyes, a demon is extremely valuable."

Gu Xin grinned, staring eagerly at Silver Demon.

That nakedly covetous gaze made even Silver Demon feel a chill run down his spine.

This human...

"So no matter what you say, even if you kneel and beg me, I still won't let you go."

Gu Xin's voice was gentle, but his words were anything but.

Wang Quan and the other two turned their strange looks toward Gu Xin. Good lord!

Oh no!! This fucking human was a real piece of work!

Silver Demon no longer hesitated. He turned, spread his wings, and prepared to flee.

Roar~!

Baron Nashor let out a low roar. Deep purple magic power surged violently beneath the ground, and rifts in the void appeared one after another.

The next second, deep purple tentacled spikes shot up one after another, dancing wildly like enormous dragons and completely blocking Silver Demon's path of retreat.

Coiling Spikes!

Silver Demon came to an abrupt halt, the scarlet light in his eyes flickering madly.

"Damn human! I'll fight you to the death!"

Silver Demon shrieked, swiftly turning back and charging toward Gu Xin and the others like lightning, clearly prepared for a desperate final struggle.

"Get behind me!"

As an excellent knight, Meng Xiu instinctively leaped in front of the group and raised his shield to defend them.

But there was no need at all, because Baron Nashor had already moved.

More strange void rifts opened before Gu Xin and the others. Spiked tentacles extended from the rifts, twisting and winding as they shot toward Silver Demon.

Silver Demon was furious. He opened his jaws as magic power surged within them, directly unleashing a Demon Death Ray.

Boom!

The Demon Death Ray struck Baron Nashor's spiked tentacles and exploded, forcing several of them back—but only forcing them back.

The next moment, the spiked tentacles behind Silver Demon had arrived, instantly wrapping around his body.

Silver Demon let out a sharp, piercing shriek, tearing at the tentacles with his sharp claws. Yet the spiked tentacles were incredibly tough; not only could he not tear them apart—

Under Baron Nashor's control, the spikes on the tentacles lit up with a sinister dark purple glow and pierced directly into Silver Demon's body.

Silver Demon's originally silver-gray demonic face gradually glowed with an eerie purple light, and his violently struggling movements gradually slowed.

It was poison. Baron Nashor had injected a massive amount of toxin into Silver Demon's body.

Although Silver Demon had strong resistance to magic, it was clear that he had no resistance to Baron Nashor's poison.

As the powerful toxin corroded him, Silver Demon wanted to resist, but he gradually lost all strength.

Baron Nashor's spiked tentacles slowly descended, dragging Silver Demon down with them.

The battle ended astonishingly quickly.

"Oh~ So it was taken down just like that? That's way too strong."

Meng Xiu lowered his greatshield and exclaimed in amazement.

"Gu Xin, what rank of card is Baron Nashor?" Blue Lotus could not help asking Gu Xin.

That combat power was a little too outrageous. That Silver Demon had definitely been among the strongest of the second tier; demons had never been weaklings to begin with.

Yet the Silver Demon had been subdued by Baron Nashor without even the slightest ability to fight back.

"Three-star purple," Gu Xin answered without hiding anything.

"My god..."

Even though she had been mentally prepared, Blue Lotus still drew in a sharp breath.

Three-star purple—this was simply ridiculous. The key was that this was a summon card Gu Xin had made himself.

"As expected of my, Wang Quan's, brother." Wang Quan planted his hands on his hips and lifted his chin proudly.

What the hell are you proud of?

Seeing Wang Quan's pose, Blue Lotus could not help grumbling inwardly. Sure enough, she still could not understand Wang Quan's way of thinking.

Gu Xin did not notice what was happening behind him. He slowly walked up to the Silver Demon and looked it over from head to toe, clicking his tongue.

"How pitiful."

The Silver Demon was indeed in a sorry state. More than half its body was bound by spiked tentacles, and silver-black blood flowed from the wounds where the spikes had pierced it.

Its face had turned a deep purple from the poison, and it was extremely weak.

"Human... please... spare me."

The Silver Demon spoke with great difficulty, its voice broken and intermittent. It was still young—only a little over a hundred years old, still an underage demon.

It did not want to die. It wanted to live.

"At a time like this, Mr. Demon, you're still saying things like that?" Gu Xin shook his head.

"My father is already a three-thousand-year-old demon. He can no longer hunt on his own and needs me to support him. My mother had one leg and one arm shattered by a human's holy light back then, and she needs me to take care of her too."

"Without me, they will have a hard time surviving. Humans, you humans value filial piety above all else, so you..."

"Oh, how pitiful. But what does that have to do with me?"

Gu Xin asked in confusion.

"You..." The Silver Demon froze.

"But I'm a kindhearted person, after all." Gu Xin sighed.

The Silver Demon was delighted. Could it be that this human had believed it?!

"Don't worry, Mr. Demon. If I get the chance in the future, I'll definitely send your parents to join you."

Gu Xin's tone was exceedingly sincere, gentle, and polite.

The Silver Demon blanked out, its mind crashing a little.

"Baron Nashor's poison is very potent. You probably don't have much time left. Do you have any last words? Oh, right, Mr. Demon, do you have a name of your own?"

Seeing that the Silver Demon did not speak, Gu Xin thought for a moment and asked it.

"Tell me your name. If I run into your parents in the future, I can help you pass along a message, then send them over to be reunited with you."

"And besides, although you're about to die, please don't be sad, Mr. Demon. I'll refine your corpse into a magic card, and you'll remain with me forever in another form."

"We'll never be apart again. I think the card made from your body will definitely be an excellent one. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Human!!"

The Silver Demon finally came back to its senses and roared furiously at Gu Xin. The scarlet glow in its eyes surged, venomous and terrifying enough to send chills down one's spine.

"You innately evil, beastly human! I curse you!!"

The Silver Demon let out the most heart-rending roar of its entire demonic life.

Was this fucking bastard really human? If it were human, it would just eat it!
