Chapter 112 (2/2)
Ding, ding, ding. It all happened so fast. Lily was still jumping happily in the air. Vivian and Hao Ren did not even have time to change their stunned expression when they heard the tinkle of metal coming from the big demon.
Such a tough man. His body could withstand the power of magic arrows which could explode like a small, rifle grenade. Moreover, the surface of Y’zaks’ body seemed to have a layer of strange energy. The moment the arrow or quarrel touched his skin, the magic was lifted. It turned into a plain, silvery-gray metal stick and fell on the ground. The silver blades broke into several pieces of steel as well. If this guy was a human, his adamantium-like body was comparable with Hao Ren’s Steel Membrane Shield.
However, Y’zaks did not look angry at all. He probably did not even think that these little metal sticks were attacking him. The big demon looked at the two demon hunters who had teleported more than 10 meters away and said, “We can still negotiate. You guys have to be good men…”
The two demon hunters glanced at the monster-like man with horror, turned around and ran away at the same time without waiting for the teleportation to cool down.
Of course Y’zaks did not give them the chance to escape. As he waved his hand, a chain formed from foul, green runes appeared at the foot of the two hunters and dragged them straight back to Y’zaks.
“Don’t run.” The big demon squatted down and said nicely, “You can’t hurt the innocent so, apologize to my friends and promise me to be good men from now on.”
“Are you sick?” The hunters’ leader was surprisingly calm. When he found that his teleportation device had been chained to the green runes on his feet, he immediately took out several pieces of rune slips and tossed them towards Y’zaks. “Break the evil!”
The rune slips struck Y’zaks on the face and chest. They then burst into a series of bright flames but the flames were soon suppressed by a layer of green, demonic power. Y’zaks’ face was blackened by the smoke yet, he just ignored it. He grinned and asked, “Do you guys want to be good men?”
The leader answered by continuing his struggle and not giving up the chance to escape. He realized that the strange man before him was a powerful creature which he had never heard of. However, as a demon hunter, the belief of never compromising with monsters was imprinted on his mind like a life instinct that he did not even think of cooperating.
Y’zaks frowned and glanced at the two men in the struggle. With a few snaps, he dislocated their hands and feet. He then continued to educate them patiently. “I can’t let you go as you may go back and tip your people off about us. My friends and I won’t have a quiet life. You guys have to promise me to be good people and make a pact with me. Then I’ll let you go.”
The great pain coming from their hands and feet almost made the two demon hunters cry out loud. “He is crazy!” They shouted at the same time.
“I’m not crazy,” Y’zaks refuted earnestly and explained his motives, “I just think that we only live once and should do something meaningful. It would also be an achievement if I manage to educate you. I hope that all races will live in peace together. There is room for negotiation between demon hunters and other creatures. All of us live in this little world while the world outside is vast and boundless. It’s too wasteful to keep fighting on such a small planet. Wasting a universe that God has created for us…”
The two demon hunters looked at the vicious, literary maniac as if he was a psycho. The short man blurted out, “You’re bullsh…”
Y’zaks punched the short man in the face and the man was lay on the ground, unconscious. He then continued to persuade the leader nicely, “Don’t speak, listen attentively. How wonderful the world is… If you move again, I’ll just crush your neck. Why is it so hard for a man to listen to me quietly?”
Those who were watching from the back were completely petrified.
Hao Ren finally understood how Y’zaks, who always stuck to the ‘nice guy’ logic, interpreted the ‘good man’ theory from a demon’s viewpoint. Yes, this was a demon’s logic of a ‘nice guy’:You must be a good man or you will be dead.
