novelGo Down With Him
| ← Ch.61 | Ch.63 → |
The black-haired and purple-eyed primeval demon looked down from up above. His appearance could not be seen clearly, but his imposing momentum was like the divine artifact he was holding, extremely sharp and incomparably mighty.
Samael had come!
The joy in Suo Fei's heart nearly burst out, but he calmed himself down in an instant.
He was not surprised that Samael rushed to save him. It could even be said that he had been waiting for this moment ever since he woke up.
During the two years he spent in Bois Canyon, he had gained two thousand beast skins and had fed the little cub until it was satiated. At the same time, he had also studied countless ferocious beasts' beast cores.
Although the great majority of those beast cores had been fed to the little cub for it to grow healthy and strong, he had kept some of the beast cores that had special abilities.
Especially the amazing heart bead that Manzy had given him previously. Suo Fei had returned it to Manzy, but he desperately wanted a pair for himself.
Thus, he paid more attention while he was in Bois Canyon and was actually able to find two heart beads. However, after obtaining the heart beads, he discovered this item's shortcomings.
Firstly, the heart beads were extremely fragile. They could be broken by just a slight squeeze of the palm, but they must be held in the hands in order to use it to communicate. The distance was even more frustrating. It would only light up when the two people were close to each other. If they were far from one another, it simply won't do anything. It could only reveal whether the other person was close or not, which was of little use.
Suo Fei was quite disappointed with the heart bead's function, but this event enlightened Suo Fei to pay more attention to this kind of beast core.
In the end, he actually found a beast core that was even more outstanding.
This beast core was unusual as it was a beast core that had two colours, blue and red. If two people each took half of it, it would have a wonderful function.
Although it didn't allow communication, it would allow the two to discern the location of each other using the beast core's exterior. It was accurate to a fault.
The beast core's exterior was the size of an eggshell. It was smooth and transparent. It didn't have any magic power so people would usually regard it as trash that could be easily discarded. Even the appraisal skill would identify it as a discardable beast core's exterior.
Thus, it was extremely inconspicuous and few people would care about it.
Suo Fei and Samael split the beast core and each of them kept half of the exterior, which would only exhibit its search function when in their possession.
Suo Fei's interspatial bag had been taken away so he didn't know where Samael was, but Samael certainly knew where he was. Thus, it was of no surprise to him that Samael had come. He had estimated that Samael would take several days to come out of the treasury and arrive at the Demon Realm.
Seeing Samael now was within his expectations. However, he didn't want to see Samael at this moment...
Linde was right in front of him and they were still in the Demon Realm, which was Linde's territory. Samael had arrived, but escaping unscathed was a huge problem.
If they ended up in the same situation as they had been inside the treasury, wouldn't they be screwed up?!
These thoughts crossed his mind in the blink of an eye, but Samael had already appeared before him. Everyone but Suo Fei had moved.
Grantlyn immediately activated the Shadow Shifter to summon his forces. Linde charged straight towards Suo Fei and Samael rushed towards Linde, his Asura Blade bursting out majestic sword Qi.
Suo Fei also reacted at this time. Linde wanted to restrain Suo Fei but Suo Fei wasn't a fool. His abilities couldn't compare to the people present but he took the opportunity to evade Linde while Samael's attack was about to hit Linde.
Swift response and accurate judgment were the most crucial factors!
A slight mishap or distraction could completely change the outcome of the battle.
Everything happened within the span of a few seconds. The situation became certain after this short exchange.
The Asura Blade pierced straight into Linde's back and blood rushed out like a gushing spring. He was wearing black, thus the blood that was flowing out wasn't that obvious, but it had already soaked his clothes, dripping on the ground with a pitter-patter.
He didn't evade, receiving the attack with his body, choosing to hold Suo Fei hostage.
Suo Fei didn't expect that Linde would be so ruthless, risking his life just to capture him. Being hugged by Linde in such a manner, Suo Fei felt uncomfortable all over. The smell of blood lingered on every breath he drew.
At this time Grantlyn managed to successfully summon a large group of black-robed men.
Suo Fei went stiff. He heard a burst of slow, deep laughter in his ears. His heart thumped for he understood.
The crazy Linde had appeared.
Linde was suffering from DID, but he didn't have two completely separate personalities. Specifically, Suo Fei was unable to clearly explain it, but whether it was the rational Linde or the crazy Linde, their memories were shared with one another. They were part of a whole person, except that their temperament and behaviour were vastly different.
If the situation required it, Linde's rational personality would bring the crazy Linde to front
To visualise it better, it could be said that Linde had two different forms: the first form's abilities were focused on intelligence while the second form's abilities were focused on strength.
This limitlessly amplified his advantages.
Linde had his arm across Suo Fei's neck, effortlessly confining him with his undermined strength. He turned to face Suo Fei, his eyes dark and calm. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly as he spoke in a flamboyant and unbridled manner, "Child, where were you going?"
Suo Fei was completely shocked by the boldly unrestrained and evilly charming Demon King in front of him. F**k, who wants to deal with this madman!
Without even looking at the huge wound on Linde's back, Suo Fei could already tell just from the smell of blood that it must be extremely painful. However, the Demon King was acting as if it was a trifling matter. His arm was extremely powerful, like a block of iron!
Suo Fei was left unable to move.
Linde didn't wait for Suo Fei to answer his question. Instead, he cupped Suo Fei's chin with his other hand and smilingly said, "Come, let me see your ability."
Suo Fei instantly understood. He didn't even have the time to curse out as he struggled to get free with all his might, but it was simply impossible.
Linde firmly held Suo Fei's chin and pressed him towards the bleeding wound.
Suo Fei's lips touched the wound and he felt a wave of dizziness, feeling as if all the power in his body was continuously being sapped away, flowing out through his lips. This feeling of not having control made him gnash his teeth in anger.
This kind of fatal wound is almost the same as Eugene's wound back then! He's actually healing this madman!
Damn it, this awful ability can't distinguish between friend and foe!
Linde used Suo Fei as a bandage and a shield, truly making full use of him. Who was it that said that the crazy Linde had insufficient IQ? Suo Fei badly wanted to hack the game developers to death at this moment.
After a few seconds, Linde's wound healed. He hugged Suo Fei, gaze falling on his face. His words were loving but his voice was tyrannical, "Such a sweetheart"
Samael stared at him, his purple eyes so dark that it was nearly black. He spoke in an extremely calm voice, "I will kill you." His words were an affirmation, as if what he had declared was an established fact.
Linde looked at him. Facing the demon again, his eyes narrowed slightly. His instincts were particularly sharp while in the crazy state thus he could distinctly gauge the strength of this demon. He was still very young but was already extraordinarily powerful. Such an existence must be nipped in the bud.
When Grantlyn first saw Samael, he didn't dare underestimate him and directly summoned the elite troops of their organisation, which had a powerful formation that was capable of killing dragons.
Suo Fei's limbs were weak, but his heart was very anxious. This situation was too unfavorable to them, even more than it was in the treasury.
At that time, the rational Linde alone was able to severely injure Samael. Now, there were so many black-robed men present. In addition, Linde was in his crazy state and had just been completely healed. Their fighting strength was simply countless times greater.
In the treasury, he was able to heal Samael from the brink of death right there and then. Now, however, his body was powerless. Perhaps he could disregard his condition and heal Samael, but the outcome was still precarious.
Therefore, their situation was extremely unpromising!
Linde wouldn't be willing to kill him, but he would definitely not show mercy towards Samael. Upon this realisation, Suo Fei felt more fearful.
Suo Fei was certain that Linde wouldn't let Samael go. fr𝙚ℯ𝓌e𝚋𝙣ovℯl - 🅽🅽novel
The Demon race that placed power above everything else. They had a skewed perception of right and wrong. One had to rely on their own strength in order to sit on the throne. Linde killed the previous Demon King and succeeded the throne. Likewise, if a more powerful existence appeared in the Demon race, he would also be pushed off the throne.
To him, Samael was such an existence. He was a real threat.
Killing him before he could spread his wings was the best choice.
Linde was just about to command his group to jointly attack Samael when the ground shook.
The ground was shaking and incessant rumbling filled the air.
Everyone was stunned.
Suo Fei couldn't understand. What's happening? There's an earthquake?
Linde's gaze swiftly turned towards Samael. His red eyes were sinister and vicious as he thundered, "You actually dared to destroy the Demon Tower!"
Samael unflinchingly stared back at him, "Give him to me."
Linde's eyes flashed.
Suo Fei realised what was happening when he heard the words 'Demon Tower'.
The Demon Realm was an extremely unique place in Yalance. It was located at the Sea of Chaos and was being supported by the Demon Tower. If the Demon Tower was destroyed, the whole city of the Demon Realm would collapse and everyone would fall into the Sea of Chaos.
There was no living thing in the Sea of Chaos.
Linde's voice was brimming with anger, "By doing this, he will also die!"
Samael calmly replied, "It doesn't matter. Everyone can go down with him."
Suo Fei looked at Samael but Samael did not return his gaze. He didn't know why but he had this feeling that Samael was crazier than the crazy Linde.
However, he felt so distressed for Samael in this state. His heart was hurting for him. He badly wanted to come over and hug him. He could even clearly feel the paranoia and despair beneath his calm exterior.
Linde let go of the hand that was restraining Suo Fei.
As soon as his body was released, Suo Fei fell into an extremely familiar embrace. He was completely weak at this moment, but he compelled himself to raise his arms, using up his remaining strength to hug Samael.
The author has something to say: Cough, there will definitely be sisters wondering what Samael did. Don't worry, it will be explained in the next chapter.
