Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

3/9

For Leo, the level of shock was actually greater than the surprise.

When he contacted the succubus earlier, he didn't pay much attention to Reji, thinking he was just some ordinary human follower captured by Eileen. This wasn't a difficult task for a succubus.

But later, when he casually mentioned Lordan's next move to Eileen, the little succubus said to the human beside her in a dazed manner...

"Hero, eh? Isn't that Brother Reji?"

Eileen hadn't reacted much yet.

On the Demon of Wisdom's side, his eyelids immediately started twitching wildly.

Previously, he, more or less like Eileen, didn't have much concept of the human Hero, thinking he was just a human elite, at most a hero or something similar even if he was powerful.

But with Lordan's order to surround and annihilate.

The fact that the Wicked Demon would go to such lengths, mobilizing all the apostles at once to eliminate the target, spoke volumes about his strength and value.

On the other hand.

After Eileen boasted about her relationship with the Hero for a while, the little succubus quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait, then doesn't that mean... Brother is in great danger!"

"Quick, Leo, tell us where it's safe, hurry and take Brother to hide!"

The siege by the six major apostles was no joke.

Even if Leo and Dian among them could go easy, the others, especially Hektor, as the pinnacle of combat power among the Great Demons, being controlled and enhanced by Lordan's Evil Blood, just imagining that scene made Eileen shudder.

"It must be me... that bastard Lordan discovered me. Damn it! Brother, I'm, I'm sorry, I got you involved..."

Eileen immediately apologized to Reji.

Afterwards, she had the posture of gritting her white teeth and voluntarily wanting to leave Reji.

In the little succubus's view, Lordan wouldn't go to such lengths to deal with Reji. It could only be because she was also there, so he gathered a large army to capture them with great fanfare.

In response, Reji shook his head.

"You're overthinking it, Eileen. A battle between the Demon King and me is inevitable, it has nothing to do with you."

"I agree. Lordan didn't mention you at all, and also..."

Leo hesitated for a moment, but still stared straight at Reji and said, "Hero, those monsters on the human side should be your doing, right? I've seen this kind of power before, it also exists in Lordan. That's Evil Blood."

"That's right, in a sense, our powers come from the same source, both from the Evil God, and the purpose is also the same, to eradicate you, the demon race."

Reji nodded and didn't deny it.

This straightforward and honest attitude also gained Leo's favor. Leo nodded. With this, many things could be explained, and it further strengthened his determination to resist Lordan.

Otherwise, if this continued, with Lordan popularizing the Evil Blood among the demon race, all demons would also turn into such flesh and blood monsters.

"I understand. I will buy you time."

Leo had no other choice at the moment.

To fight against Lordan, he could only rely on Reji's power. So during this period before the Hero grew up, he would buy time for the Hero, even at the cost of his life.

Seeing Leo looking like he was ready to sacrifice himself for a righteous cause, Reji couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although Leo had a sinister and vicious snake face, when it came to loyalty to the demon race, he was definitely the most unwavering among the apostles. Explore hidden tales at empire

"It's okay, let all the apostles come. This actually saves me some trouble. Oh... it seems they've already arrived."

Leo hadn't figured it out yet when he saw Reji take out his little branch and lightly point it at a nearby shadow.

Instantly, a figure in that shadow was forced to reveal itself. The figure struggled to break free, but the shadows that originally obeyed her now felt incredibly foreign, turning into a cage trapping her instead.

Leo took a closer look and realized that the one currently bound by the shadows was none other than the Shadow Apostle, Shermen.

Wait a minute.

Could it be...

Just in that moment, several teleportation formations began to flicker around Reji. Among them, taking the lead, the Great Demon Hektor, whose entire body was covered in muscles, had already thrown a punch towards Reji.

The little succubus was stunned. The current Great Demon had already lost his mind due to the corruption of the Evil Blood, possessing only a strong desire for battle. But in exchange, his physical body was far more terrifying than the original demon apostles. The crimson hellfire seemed to want to directly devour them.

However, in the next moment, just like how Shermen was captured earlier.

The Hellfire that should have belonged to the Great Demon's authority, when approaching Reji, suddenly changed. The impurities contaminated by the Evil Blood dissipated, transforming into a purer scarlet flame that began to burn its own master.

Hektor's attacking momentum disappeared in an instant. From the outside, it looked like Reji just pointed his branch and the Great Demon started to self-immolate.

Immediately after, Reji didn't stop at all and directly blocked behind him with the little branch. With a "bang" sound, the Sword Demon who wanted to backstab Reji also returned unsuccessful.

The current Sword Demon Pierre, like Hektor, was also corrupted by the Evil Blood. The blade limbs of the Sword Demon were all imprinted with evil purple patterns.

Using a branch to block the Sword Demon's backstab and even send him flying, it was like an illusion. Eileen rubbed her eyes, the little succubus's mouth wide open at Reji.

Before the demon race descended, although Reji had engaged in battles, Eileen didn't have much concept as she didn't really understand humans.

Now, in just a few short breaths, he had defeated three apostles. Such an exaggerated combat power...

"Roarrrrrrrrrr!"

The last apostle to come through the teleportation spell to surround Reji was the Decay Demon.

Its bloated body, like the Sword Demon, was corrupted by the Evil Blood, covered in purple patterns. And with a touch of Reji's little branch, this time the Decay Demon's defeat was even more exaggerated. It was as if a transformation spell had been cast, turning it from its original hideous fat man into a sickly cute little girl.

Eris stood there dumbfounded, obviously still not understanding what had happened to her body.

Finally.

Also the mastermind behind everything.

As the Sorcery Demon who opened the teleportation formation and brought all the apostles over at once, Dian also symbolically threw a small fireball in Reji's direction.

The fireball even extinguished itself in mid-air due to insufficient magic power. Afterwards, Dian raised both hands, indicating his surrender to Reji.

At this point, Leo finally came back to his senses.

The Wisdom Demon was immediately very angry at Dian.

Even a fool could see that the Sorcery Demon had acted on his own, directly sending all the apostles to Reji's side at once.

In response, Dian shrugged his shoulders.

It was as if he was retaliating against Leo for not communicating with him at all and deliberately using Lordan to force them to gamble and send Eileen away.

Now the Sorcery Demon had also "gambled" a bit, betting that the Hero had absolute power and could handle all the apostles.

As for the result...

Dian spread his hands.

"Alright Leo, from now on we are all captured by the Hero. Why don't you also... cooperate a bit?"
