Chapter 655: 655

Chapter 655 Petty Tricks May Be Pretty Useful

There were at least a hundred thousand devils on the wall that was ten meters wide… However, when almost three hundred thousand people were fighting in the battle, the wall wasn’t broad enough at all .

Things were quite easy for the Guardians of Light, whose light skills were natural banes to the devils .

On the players’ side, the coalition defense line of the Shield Warriors couldn’t be breached even by the devils who were almost legends .

They could even press on slowly against the attacks to get closer to the enemy’s front line .

Just like that, the wall was conquered bit by bit, and the number of devils was declining .

The battle went on for almost ten hours .

When more and more Guardians of Light and players climbed onto the wall, the devils could only retreat .

The remaining sixty thousand devils fled very fast from the wall .

They even lost thousands of more soldiers because of the stampedes during their escape .

“The devils seem to be much weaker than we expected . ” William watched the devils flee and took off his helmet, wiping the blood off it . “Why was the war between humans and devils so brutal?”

Most generals and soldiers of the Guardians of Light shared the same question .

Schuck smiled and said, “It’s mostly because of my compatriots . ”

“Are they really so influential?” William wasn’t really convinced . “You can run some statistics . It’s been about twenty days since the war began, and my compatriots have killed about four-fifths of all the devils,” said Schuck with a smile .

William found this even more unbelievable .

Dinah, the female Saint Samurai, nodded and said, “Schuck is probably right . I’ve been observing the Golden Sons recently . Although they don’t show up often on the main battlefield, their efficiency in killing is really high . ”

William looked at them and still found it hard to believe .

“If you don’t believe it, ask the soldiers on the front line . They must know better than anyone else . ” Schuck opened his hands .

William would’ve done the same without Schuck’s hint .

After the Guardians of Light occupied the city wall, they set up a temporary camp on one side of the city wall .

While patrolling the army, William quietly listened to the soldiers’ communication .

“Those Golden Sons are really awesome . They’re brutal killers and they are absolutely fearless of death . ”

“Why would they be scared of death if they can’t die?”

“They aren’t scared of pain either . They’ll bite the enemy if their limbs are severed . They’re even crazier than devils . ”

“I saw a Golden Son who lost his weapon and his belly was cut open . He simply pulled out his intestine and strangled the enemy with it . However, his intestine snapped because he used too much strength . Still, he was saved by a Priest from the Water God Church . That was terrifying . ”

The soldier spoke with a trembling voice .

He wasn’t really a coward . Even William felt a little dizzy when he pictured the scene .

It was too brutal .

Those Golden Sons were even more terrifying than the devils .

Then, William looked at the Golden Sons who had gathered up and didn’t seem to be in order at all .

Heaving a long sigh, he went to Schuck . “Is there any way to convince more Golden Sons to worship our goddess like you do?”

“One step at a time,” said Schuck casually . “First of all, we need to improve the doctrines . They don’t like some of the obsolete ideas in the current doctrines . ”

William became unhappy again after hearing that . “Why do you think you’re qualified to change the doctrines? They were written by the third pope over the course of fifty years . They are the foundation of the Church of Light . ”

“Because I am a saint,” replied Schuck casually .

William was instantly lost for words .

It was true that a saint had the right to change the unreasonable doctrines .

After a long daze, he finally said slowly, “Do whatever you want as long as your doctrines can make our church develop better . ”

Then he left .

As a matter of fact, William never liked Schuck .

Before Schuck came to the church, he was the most gifted of all the Saint Samurai .

But Schuck stole his thunder the moment he arrived .

On the other side, Roland handed over the gold coins he promised to Solisa and was about to leave .

But the chairwoman stopped him . “Wait a moment, we’re going to have a barbecue party . You’ve been invited . ”

“A barbecue party?” Roland was rather tempted .

“You gave us a lot of money . ” Solisa weighed the bag of money . “We should offer you a treat . ”

Roland thought for a moment and accepted it .

He couldn’t have regretted his decision more .

Because as it turned out, he was the only man at the barbecue party that was exclusively attended by the girls of the Phoenix Guild .

He had thought that Solisa would invite other male players to the party .

Before the barbecue party even started, the girls were already asking him questions .

He even felt that someone touched his butt, but he didn’t see who she was after he turned around .

It was well known that a girl’s nature would be liberated when the number of girls in a certain area surpassed a certain threshold and far exceeded that of males .

Roland couldn’t take it anymore and left with a flash, giving up on eating barbecue .

Solisa laughed after seeing that .

She thought that it was a good way to ease the tension between her guild and Roland . She had done it on purpose . As a woman herself, she understood the nature of women too well . After Roland flashed away, he didn’t leave the Realm of Devils . Instead, he drifted forward on a tiny cloud .

A tiny cloud, with its lower magic waves, was even less likely be noticed from the ground . With red and uneven hills replacing one another under his feet, Roland finally caught up to the fleeing devils after an hour of flight .

A swarm of devils were fleeing into the wilderness . Down below, he even saw some devils that were flying at a low altitude .

Roland followed them and finally saw a black spot on the horizon about three hours later . After he flew closer, he discovered, to his surprise, that the black spot was a city, and quite an enormous one at that .

Red bricks of mud were piled up into buildings of different heights and shapes .

Roland had drifted to the very center of the city . He looked around and took a deep breath . The city was so large, almost the same size of a city in reality . The buildings spanned all the way to the end of the horizon . It was just an illusion, but it indicated how huge the city was .

A lot of black spots, large and small, were moving on the roads around the buildings .

The streets were almost as crowded as the business centers in the metropolises in reality .

Even more surprisingly, a great number of demons were flying at an altitude of about a hundred meters .

They didn’t notice Roland, who was eight hundred meters high . After all, the tiny white point was hidden in the gray sky .

Roland turned on the system camera and captured the view down below .

Then, he saw a white building right under the cloud that was about five floors high . It occupied a large area .

The pure white wall and the red buildings around it made for a vivid contrast .

“That place must be the house of a big shot among the devils . I wonder whose house it is,” Roland mumbled to himself .

“Oh, you’re referring to the white one? It’s mine . ”

A rather gender-neutral voice echoed behind Roland, who was so frightened he got goosebumps .

He suddenly turned his head back, only to see a man floating at the same altitude he was .

The man had an androganyous face . His features were smooth and fair . He looked quite handsome, but he had curved eyebrows, tiny red lips, and freckled skin . He wore a white cloak and white pants, but no shoes . His feet were reflecting glimmers of sunlight .

Roland subconsciously flew back on the cloud, but the man followed him just as quickly .

No matter how Roland flew and halted, he remained five meters in front of the cloud .

Even more unbelievably, Roland couldn’t detect any magic waves from the man .

Also, Roland found that the space around him was disrupted . The man nullified the spatial magic within a certain range just by standing there .

Roland had seen a similar situation from Morris earlier .

A Demon God!

Even if he weren’t, he must be an expert on the same level as Morris .

Roland wanted to run, but he couldn’t use spatial magic, and he couldn’t fly as fast . How could he flee?

“Who are you?” Roland wasn’t in a hurry to run anymore and stopped . “Are you a Demon God?”

The man had gray hair and looked at the cloud under Roland’s feet with great interest . “This spell that you modified is quite interesting . Can you tell me the mechanism behind it?”

Roland chuckled . “Do you think I’ll just share my knowledge with a random stranger?”

“My name is Paimon . We aren’t strangers anymore . ” The man smiled .

Paimon! That’s a familiar name… Roland was stunned for a moment . He then realized that it was the name of the guy who made a portal and set up a trap for him with causal magic

“I know who you are . You are the maker of the

portal . ”

Paimon nodded and smiled . “I can tell that you triggered my teleportation array . ”

The guy’s eyes were filled with mockery .

Roland was rather angry . “Is it fun to set up other people?”

“It indeed is,” Paimon admitted openly . “You are a fun man too . Do you want to be my subject?”

Heh! Roland scoffed again and considered how he could leave the place .

“If you’re unwilling to, I’ll have to extract your soul . ” Paimon raised his hand and snatched at Roland . “However, I prefer to get a complete life, so let me ask again . Do you surrender?”

Roland sensed a claw-shaped mental cage forming around himself .

Almost all the magical elements were blocked by the cage .

A Demon God!

He had to try his best without keeping any secrets anymore .

Roland was never one to waver . He always set his decisions in motion immediately .

He quickly transformed into a fiery Elemental Lord and then took out the magic power brick from his system Backpack . He was about to put it in his stomach, when unexpected changes happened .

Paimon’s eyes glittered, and his grimacing expression became solemn .

He saw the magic power brick in Roland’s hand and quickly snatched with his right hand . Roland was restrained by five streams of mental power and couldn’t move anymore .

He couldn’t move even though he was in the form of fire elements, and his movement of stuffing the blue magic power brick into his belly was frozen .

Paimon floated close and extended his finger about one meter away from Roland, and the magic power brick fell out of Roland’s hand and into his .

He observed it carefully for a moment and asked Roland, “Where did you get this cornerstone of a floating city?”

Although Roland was restrained, it was still possible to communicate with mental power .

“I picked it up by chance . ”

Paimon, however, was unconvinced . He extended his left hand and scratched the magic power brick with his pretty fingernail .

The unbelievably hard magic power brick dropped a layer of blue powder under his scratching He then tasted the powder and said, “It’s a state-of-the-art cube of magic power that’s filled with your aura, yet you claim that you picked it up . Do you think I’m an idiot?” Roland chuckled . “Who knows?”

Although he couldn’t move, and he was sure that he couldn’t defeat the guy, Roland didn’t think that he had to beg for mercy .

The guy might be a Demon God, but so what? Even though he might lose a lot of EXP after dying, his level wouldn’t drop .

He could always accomplish more quests and try to make up for the EXP he lost . He could be resurrected .

“Surrender the method with which you made this, and I’ll set you free . ” Paimon tossed the magic power brick in his hand .

Roland was still chuckling .

Paimon drifted close and extended his left hand . Then, he raised Roland, who was still in the form of fire elements, as if he were grabbing something solid .

“Young human, don’t test my boundaries . I know that the Golden Sons are fearless of pain, but I can torture your soul . ”

Roland’s fire element body flinched . Then he said, “You must let me go first and give the magic power brick back to me . I got that thing with tremendous effort . You can’t steal it from me, or I won’t tell you how to build a floating city . ”

“Okay . ”

Paimon loosened his hand and threw Roland back to the cloud . He then tossed the magic power brick back to him .

Paimon didn’t think that Roland couldn’t flee from him, not even with a body of fire .

After all, the strength gap between them was too huge .

After reclaiming the magic power brick, Roland turned back into human form .

His human form was far less powerful than the fire element form . Paimon was even more relaxed to see that .

He didn’t believe that the guy couldn’t escape from a Demon God . After turning back into a human being, Roland took a deep breath .

Then, the black scythe appeared in his hands and was stuck to the magic power brick .

Huh?

Paimon was briefly stunned to see the black scythe . Then, his face greatly changed, and he reached for Roland’s neck .

His move was as quickly as lightning .

But it was too late .

The magic power brick underwent a transformation the moment it touched the black scythe .

A great amount of black fog emanated from the scythe .

Paimon’s hand touched the black fog as he reached out .

Yet, it was blocked by the seemingly unsubstantial fog . His right hand was merely thirty centimeters away from Roland’s neck but couldn’t press on anymore .

“Nether God!”

Paimon roared at the sky .
