Chapter 971: Chilling Memory

Suddenly, a long string of trumpets silenced all the devils, and the red mist at the bottom of the pit surged more cheerfully, and the surface of the lake that had been crystalline rolled up like lava.

Roland noticed that as the horn sounded, the two devils stepped out of the crowd and onto the slender stone bridge.

One of them belonged to the mad race, and the other looked a little like the Lord of Hell in Agatha's mouth.

The former was burly enough, stronger than any mad demon he had ever seen before, but in front of the reptilian Domain Lord, he didn't look so good.

Neither of them was armoured, and there were pushes and shoves along the way, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

The onlookers not only did not show the slightest surprise, but seemed extremely excited.

What is this going to do? Duel?

Roland immediately thought of the signature activities of the savage raceโ€”one-on-one combat to show bravery, never give up until one side falls, and the last one who survives is the hero of the race.

It's not that he's racist, it's just that this kind of self-destructive style of play looks very exciting and exciting, and sooner or later he will play himself to death after a long time. Therefore, gladiatorial matches, which were all the rage on the earth, were only fought between slaves and wild beasts. In other words, no one is distressed when they die.

Of course, if the ass sits on the side of the humans, it is naturally not a big deal to watch the excitement, and Roland took advantage of the convenience of the ghost's perspective to directly pass through the layers of devils and follow them to the stone bridge.

After entering the Hanging Island, he realized that the platform, which was about the size of the Neverwinter Square, had already arrived.

Roland's eyes widened when he saw the other party clearly.

That's a female devil!

No, he wasn't sure that the other person was a woman in the literal sense of the word, but judging by its appearance, it did have many characteristics of a human woman.

And the appearance is quite good, the kind that can definitely cause a wave of wind in the future -

Wait, it's not scientific at all!

The alarm bell in his heart suddenly went up.

Why can a different race that is completely incompatible with humans give birth to such a close individual? Walking upright or something, for predators, a higher field of vision can indeed bring more survival advantages, which can be regarded as a general skill point on the road of evolution, but even the appearance is so similar, it is really too much.

Fortunately, the female devil still retains extremely obvious outlier features, such as blue-black epidermis, protruding horns, bone spurs all over the shoulders and arms, and a third eye erected on the forehead, etc., except for a seasoned time-traveler like him, no one should have the slightest interest in such a terrifying "monster".

The two demons did not fight immediately, but leaned down and saluted the woman in the white gauze robe, before retreating to the edge of the platform and standing solemnly facing the lake of red mist.

The female devil also slowly walked to the edge of the island and sang loudly.

The surface of the lake churned even more violently, as if something was about to come out.

Roland realized that this was probably not a simple duel, or rather, they were not going to challenge each other......

As soon as this thought came to him, two thick tentacles rushed out of the red mist, throwing them at the mad demon and the hell lord - if this blow hit, not to mention smashing into meatloaf, at least it would be absolutely impossible to save his life. But they didn't make any resistance, but couldn't wait to raise their hands.

With a loud cry from the female devil, the tentacles seemed to reluctantly stop above the two of them, and after a moment of squirming, a stream of slime and a crystal clear gem spat out from it.

Then, without hesitation, they ripped open the skin of their chests with their fingers, pressing the gem hard into the flesh.

In an instant, a strong light burst out, almost impossible to look at!

Roland's heart sank - is that a magic stone?

Is this how the devil's fighting troops acquire supernatural abilities?

But he vaguely felt that something was wrong, the mad demon was the enemy's lowest level of soldiers, and in a big battle, there were not tens of thousands but thousands, and if even their transformation needed to be so pompous, the city would not have to do anything else all day long.

After a few minutes, the light faded, and he was taken aback by what he was revealed.

I saw that the originally invincible Hell Lord shrank into a ball, as if he was suffering great pain, and the air holes on his back had all opened, constantly spewing out bursts of white mist, and his body actually had the potential to melt.

The mad demon species is much better, although the expression is extremely hideous, and the scars on the chest are striking and bruised, but at least they are still standing. In addition, its body has shrunk a lot, its arms and thighs are no longer as thick as buckets, and I don't know if it is the sequelae of the inlaid magic stone.

Looking at the two devils in very different situations, Roland couldn't help but think of the Transformation Ritual of the Divine Punishment Army.

Do they have to pay with their lives if they want to be warriors and gain the favor of magic?

However, the next moment, the Hell Lord let out a piercing scream, and it lifted its upper body and pressed down on the female devil in the field with lightning speed.

With a loud bang, the entire Hanging Island trembled.

Roland had expected to see a puddle of crushed minced flesh beneath him, but there was nothing but cracked masonry.

The Hell Lord, who had lost his target, was even more furious, and his red eyes looked at the mad demon on the other side, and his killing intent was unmistakable.

I see.

He probably understood the reason for the incident.

Failure to inlay the stones doesn't kill the devils, it only makes them something else - at least the Helllord's appearance has become more like a reptilian monster, and there is no reason in his tracks. It was once a sapient species, but now it has degenerated into a complete beast.

However, to his surprise, the mad demon showed no signs of avoiding it, but fought with the giant reptile with a fanatical face!

The magic stone gives it new abilities, and its shrinking size makes it even more agile!

The seemingly powerful four-legged monster retreated under the attack of the mad demon, and the high-temperature steam it spewed could only burn the corners of the opponent's clothes, but the black light waves released by the opponent could leave deep wounds on its body.

In less than five minutes, the battle came to an end.

The final blow came from the madman's signature throw - it tore off the monster's tail alive, peeled off the skin and flesh with three strikes and five divisions, and lifted the long string of tailbones high into the air, and threw it at the dying target!

The bones shot out like lightning pierced through the helllord's skull, and the four-legged monster was no longer alive.

Roland, who was watching the battle, sank into the water, and noticed that the winner's arm showed no signs of wilting.

After killing the irrational kind, the mad demon walked up to the huge corpse, ripped off the magic stone, and swallowed it into his stomach along with the other party's flesh.

The audience suddenly erupted in exclamations!

Even the female devil who had returned to the field at some point raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The madman looked pained again, and steam came out of his nostrils and ears...... But Roland clearly saw that in this indescribable torture, the other party grinned as if he couldn't ask for it.

This time the change was much longer, and it took about half an hour for it to gradually resolve. Tearing off the scorching blistered skin, the demon's face was completely different from before.

Roland couldn't help but gasp.

That's undoubtedly a face close to human!

Seeing this scene, the devils on the other side of the island shouted wildly.

"Charita!"

I don't know who started first, and soon, this word of unknown meaning became a roar that resounded through the Red Misty Lake!

"Charita!"

"Charita!"

"Charita!"

Roland's heart sank to the bottom.

He couldn't help but think of the rumor that Pasha had mentioned.

"It is rumored that the first battle of divine will has not yet begun...... No, it should be said that much earlier, there were people who came into contact with the devil. ใ€

"At that time, they were like wild beasts, a human who had passed on their knowledge. ใ€

"And this...... It is also the reason why later high-ranking devils tend to take human form. ใ€
