Black Chapter (43) Gambling Contract
"What are these things? Don't you just know how to do fire-based magic? The court mage who was manipulating the ice sculpture was surprised.
"I don't think I ever said I could only use fire magic, did I? As for these...... Secret! The "Demon King" beckoned, and a black hole appeared in front of him, and the three giant snakes disintegrated into countless small black spears and disappeared into the black hole.
"What about other magic? It's just destroying an ice statue, don't get complacent too soon! The palace mage who was originally manipulating the ice sculpture had words in his mouth, and beside the five court mages, six of the same giant ice sculptures quickly took shape, "Ice statues like this, how many or how many do you want!" Die obediently! ”
"A combination of the Winter Frost Domain and the Ice Statue? It's really good, but it's a pity that your opponent is me! The hands of the "Demon King" burned with golden-red flames, and his mouth recited an indecipherable incantation, and with him as the center, a circle of blazing flames spread outward, dispersing the wind that entrained the ice picks, melting the frost on the ground, and the ice statue that had just been formed evaporated in the flames.
The haze in the sky dissipated, the blazing sun shone on the earth again, and no matter how hard the five court mages tried to chant incantations, the temperature did not drop in the slightest.
"No, that guy! The magic he used was ......" A court mage finally recognized the incantation chanted by the "Demon King", but it was too late.
A large number of golden-red, six-pointed stars and strange text symbols appeared around the five court mages, and small arrows formed by countless flames quickly shuttled between the magic circle and the bodies of the court mages, brutally destroying the bodies of the five court mages.
The golden-red magic array and the five court mages disappeared without a trace, and the "Demon King" stood in the black scorched earth, raised his head and turned his face sideways, and looked at the intersection of the cement pavement and the scorched earth in the distance, a flying dragon fell, as if he wanted to step into the territory of the apocalypse, but after hesitating for a long time, no matter how urged by the owner of the flying dragon, the flying dragon still did not have enough courage to take a step forward.
"Forget it, don't force it, the beast has a sharper eye for danger than we do." Sima Luming patted the dragon knight on the shoulder and jumped off the flying dragon, "You go back first, I'm going to talk to our 'Demon King' alone." ”
The Flying Dragon Knight looked at Sima Luming, and then at the snow white in the scorched earth, and seemed not very relieved to leave Sima Luming alone.
"It's okay, you can go back! Here, you can't help even a dragon knight, and besides, my assistant has arrived. Sima Luming comforted the Flying Dragon Knight again, and a translucent shadow also fell from the sky at this time, which was the "White Lady" who followed.
The Wyvern Knight said solemnly: "Yes! My lord! I'll go back and tell the Wyvern Knights to come over! ”
"Nope! Don't you understand what I mean? There was a secret anger in Sima Luming's words, "Go back!" Don't call any troops or people over! But in a short period of time, the other party killed a whole team of double-speared horsemen and five court mages by himself! Are you going to call a group of troops to come and send them to their deaths? ”
"But, my lord, since the other party can take out our entire army alone, isn't it more dangerous for you alone? It's better to call the troops to be safe, at least we can protect your retreat! The Flying Dragon Knight still refuses to give up, although he looks down on Sima Luming's human identity, but he is now his top boss and a person with the official title of "Empire" court mage, either of the two is an existence that he must not despise.
"It's okay, I'm sure, I'll talk to him about it, use, the way between magicians!" Sima Luming said coldly.
"That's it, the exchange between the two strong people, which round will get you little soldiers to intervene, or go back and rest, and wait for the good news of the 'tarantula' adult!" "White Lady" echoed in a strange way.
"You!" Although the Flying Dragon Knight was unwilling, but the "White Lady" was currently the closest person to Sima Luming, the Flying Dragon Knight didn't dare to say anything more, and drove the Flying Dragon into the sky, "Then, I hope that the 'Tarantula' Lord will take care of himself!" And also! Remember, you are now the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Empire! Something happened, my brothers and I can't explain it to the top and bottom! ”
"Alas, the last sentence is probably the guy's true words! If something happens to me, Sa Jinkai will definitely have to make a show and deal with some people, and the captains of the current few troops under my command will definitely be punished, if my identity is only a human magician, they will not bother to care about my life or death! Looking at the distant figure of the Flying Dragon Knight, Sima Luming sighed with emotion.
"White Lady" smiled and said, "Arrogance is a natural problem of the dragon clan's group of big lizards, and Lord 'Tarantula' should not be too concerned. But is our 'tarantula' really going to face that guy alone? ”
"Of course! I also want to see how much difference I am from the real powerhouse among magicians! Facing the rumored "Demon King" alone, Sima Luming was not nervous and afraid, but a little excited.
"You're not afraid he'll kill you?" "White Lady," asked jokingly.
"Don't be afraid! I have a hunch that I'm not going to die here! Sima Luming pushed his glasses and walked into the scorched earth.
The blazing heat came from the ground beneath his feet, and Sima Luming felt like he was walking in boiling water, and he began to worry that his shoes would melt from the heat.
"I'm not worried about my own life, I'm actually worried about this." Sima Luming couldn't help laughing at himself.
Sima Luming was approaching step by step, but the "Demon King" had been standing in place, quietly waiting for Sima Luming to approach him, all his expressions were hidden under the white hood with his face, and all he could see was a smiling mouth.
"'Blazing White Demon King', right? One person killed a whole team of two-spear cavalry, as well as five court mages, plus the troops in the city the day before yesterday, you made it difficult for me to keep up with the boss! Standing one meter away from the "Demon King", Sima Luming said unhurriedly.
"You are Sima Luming?" Empire's southern commander-in-chief in this country? "Demon King" said in a contemptuous tone, "If you think the title is too long, you can just call me 'Demon King'!" As for how you want to explain to your superiors, it's your problem, not mine! ”
"But the problem is caused by you!" Sima Luming argued on the basis of reason.
"Wrong! It's not me who is causing the problem! It's yourselves! It's you who upset the balance of the game! "Demon King" said confidently.
"Games? What game? Sima Luming was full of doubts.
"I'm sorry, you're not qualified enough, I can't tell you!" The tone of the "Demon King" was very tough, and Sima Lu knew that it was impossible to pry anything out of the mouth of this "Demon King".
"Why don't we make a bet?" Sima Luming changed his way of negotiating.
"Bet on what? How to bet? "The Demon King" seems to be interested.
"It's easy! Bet, I can beat you! If I do, tell me all your little secrets! Sima Luming said that it was inevitable that he would fight with the "Demon King", so it was better to take the opportunity to fight for a little more benefit for himself.
"You're smart!" The "Demon King" saw through Sima Luming's mind at a glance, however, he did not object, "I agree, as long as you can win me, everything about the 'Empire', about the 'Black Rose', and about the Magic Dimension, you can tell you everything you want to know!" ”
The prize seems to be rich, but Sima Luming is not absolutely sure whether he can get it or not, but at least he got a clue about this "demon king", "You are really from the magic dimension!" However, I also know a guy from your dimension who calls himself the 'Demon King', but that 'Demon King' is the opposite of you, he likes to wear black clothes, I don't know, which of you two is more powerful? ”
"Another 'Demon King'? You seem to adore him? Regarding Sima Luming's mention of another "demon king", this "demon king" doesn't seem to care very much.
"Worship? Perhaps! I'm willing to give my life for him! With a wave of his hand, a large number of gray-black, translucent tentacles stretched out from the scorched earth under his feet and stabbed at the "Demon King".
"Divine Flame Armament Iron Wall!" The white diamond-shaped metal block and a faint golden-red light enveloped the "Demon King", and as soon as the tentacles summoned by Sima Luming touched it, it immediately collapsed and disappeared, "What is there about him that is worthy of your life?" ”
"It's none of your business! Shadow Eater! Several gray balls appeared beside Sima Luming, and the balls spun and shot towards the "Demon King".
"Oh? So, that's it, you win, I'll tell you what you want to know, relatively, if you lose, tell me about you and that 'Demon King' Demon King, of course, provided that you're still alive! The "Demon King" raised his hand, and the small gray balls that rotated in front of the "Demon King" collided with an invisible wall, and the wall glowed with a golden-red light, and the gray balls disappeared in the light.
"You want to kill me? I'll admit, I don't have much chance of beating you, but if you want to kill me, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? I'm not like those court mages! The whites of Sima Luming's left eyes crawled with spider web-like blood, and with a wave of his right hand, a huge black claw was conjured up and swept towards the "Demon King".
"Shadow magic? Except for the rare points, for me, it's not much different from other magic! The "Demon King" blocked with his left hand, and the golden-red invisible wall reappeared, blocking the giant claw that Sima Luming conjured up, no matter how hard Sima Luming tried, the giant claw could not break through the defense laid by the "Demon King".
The giant claw of the right hand continued to stalemate with the "Demon King", Sima Luming chanted a spell in a low voice, and with a quiet wave of his left hand, gray spikes shot out from the shadow under the feet of the "Demon King", but even if it was launched from below, the almost close-fitting attack was still blocked by the golden red light wrapped in the "Demon King".
"That's all you need?" The "Demon King" said boredly, "It seems that you are not much different from those court mages of the 'Empire'!" ”
"You're strong! But don't underestimate people either! A black magic array with a complex structure lit up under Sima Luming's feet, and a large group of heavily armed, armed with various weapons, and translucent black figures grew out of the ground.
"Kill!" Sima Luming coldly ordered, and the figures roared in voices that did not belong to this world, rushing towards the "Demon King".
"Shadow Puppet? You've just been learning magic for a few years, and you can summon so many at once, your magical talent is really good. The number was comparable to the puppet killing of a "Empire" infantry squad, but the "Demon King" commented on Sima Luming without panic.
"Thank you for the compliment! Still, you should worry about yourself! Sima Luming said respectfully, but the figure he summoned showed no mercy, rushed to the "Demon King", swords, guns, swords, halberds, and slashed at the head of the "Demon King" in one go.
The blade was only an inch away from the head of the "Demon King", and with a flash of silver light, the "Demon King" disappeared in place, and the next second it appeared ten meters away from the figures.
The figure's attack failed, Sima Luming was not annoyed, on the contrary, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "Shadow Demon Swamp!" At the feet of the "Demon King", the magic array lit up, and a black, swamp-like thing more than a meter wide appeared at the feet of the "Demon King", squirming, and quickly engulfed the "Demon King" to his waist.
As a magician, Sima Luming had long expected that the "Demon King" might use teleportation, after all, this is the most mana-saving and practical spell to get out of trouble, when the figures attacked, Sima Luming was ready, and sure enough, the "Demon King" really used teleportation to get out of trouble, which happened to be in Sima Luming's arms.
"Your Excellency the Demon King, how does the Demon Swamp taste? Do you want me to add some more ingredients to you? Sima Luming's eyes lit up, he didn't dare to guarantee that the Demon Swamp would be able to completely trap the "Demon King", but before the "Demon King" broke free, he still had a lot of interesting things to do, such as making the Demon Swamp grow fangs and something like that.
"I think, it's better to bother you if you don't get firm, it's better to save some time, how about you just admit defeat?" The voice of the "Demon King" sounded behind him, Sima Luming's back was cold, and he turned around, only to see the "Demon King" standing in front of him, and then looked back at the Demon Swamp, and the "Demon King" who fell into it collapsed into a small white diamond shape and flew into a small black hole in mid-air.
"Valkyrie's Gun!" The "Demon King" raised his hand, and a white diamond-shaped giant spear appeared above his palm, stabbing at Sima Luming.
The black shadow flashed, and a pitch-black giant claw slapped from the right side, slapping the white giant gun away with one palm.
"Want me to throw in the towel? It's not that easy! Sima Luming's eyes widened, the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshots, and the monster that had defeated Li Fei stood behind him, hissing, raised his right paw again, and slapped it at the "Demon King".
