94 Demon Trick Part 1 (1/2)

Nailisi stuck out her tongue. It was over a foot long and she licked the burned face of the silver grand swordmaster, taking a deep breath. For some reason, with a delicacy in front of her, she was no longer stammering at all.

”Young punk, I haven’t had anyone to eat for ten thousand years. I remember that it’s best to start from the legs. You have a strong will to live, so by saving your heart and brain for last, you won’t die so quickly.”

The silver grand swordmaster’s face was licked clean by Nailisi. His face was twitching. He was controlling his fear, and still had not begged for mercy.

”Actually, I don’t want you to confess anything either. Only then will I have a reason to eat you. I know my master doesn’t want me to do that. Hence, I need you to cooperate with me. When I start eating you, you need to scream helplessly. Let everyone outside know that I tried to force you to confess but you were too strong willed, okay?”

Nailisi laughed as she said this. Her pair of dark green eyes were looking at the silver grand swordmaster as though he were food.

”You, you have a master!” The silver grand swordsman hated the person who had given him information. Everyone around Viscountess Lex was so strong, but his information had said that there would only be four low-grade bronze grand swordmasters. For someone to have reduced a demon to submission, they must have been at least a Grade 8 sorcerer.

”It seems like you’re willing to talk?” Nailisi was disappointed.

”If I talk, will you let me go?”

”No, I will pass you to my master. Even though your end will not be any better, he is a benevolent person. You can choose a clean death or stay loyal to my master. If you follow my master, we will be partners. How could I eat you then?”

Seeing Nailisi lick her lips, the silver grand swordmaster had no courage left in him.

”Even if I died, you wouldn’t eat me?” The silver grand swordmaster could not understand what he was saying either. He was only afraid of being eaten by the demon. If that happened, his soul would not be saved.

”If you speak the truth, I cannot inhale your soul directly. I can tell if you’re telling the truth or not.” Nailisi said sincerely, ”If you don’t believe me, how about I make a pledge?”

”Yes!”

Anger flashed past Nailisi’s eyes but she quickly covered it up. She placed her hands on her chest and said, ”In the name of my master, I swear that if the person before me does not lie, I will let his soul return to his religion. If I break my promise, I will fall into a deep abyss to suffer in eternal flame.”

The silver grand swordmaster heaved a sigh of relief. The feeling of despair had lifted. He was not afraid of death, but when one was face to face with a demon, death was merely the beginning.

”I have an accomplice in Hadisai City. Whether you all attack Hadisai City or not, he will kill the earl and blame it on all of you…” The silver grand swordmaster felt a little ashamed after saying this secret. This was akin to him betraying his god, and the sin for betrayal was a grave one. However, god should be lenient and understand my pain. God of Light, oh my father, forgive me. Let my soul be saved.

”That’s all?” Nailisi asked seriously, having listened quietly to the silver grand swordmaster’s words.

”This is all I know.” The silver grand swordmaster was completely relaxed ”Could I die now?”

”One last question. Am I pretty?” Nailisi kneeled down, her hair falling over her shoulders. Her eyes seemed to have been enveloped with a layer of mist, making them dazzling with just a glance.

”Yes, you are pretty.” The silver grand swordmaster had desired his release and answered without much thought.

”You’re lying!” Nailisi suddenly turned savage. Using both her hands to grab the silver grand swordmaster’s neck, she tugged with all her might and the already broken armor broke into two pieces. The silver grand swordmaster gave a loud cry as Nailisi sat down beside him, patiently stripping away the armor at his neck. She opened her mouth and bit down hard.

The silver grand swordmaster was shocked beyond belief. Only then did he realize that Nailisi’s last question had been to deceive him.

”You…tricked me!”

Nailisi stopped chewing and answered in surprise, ”Of course. Does that need further explanation?”

”Why?” Despair filled the eyes of the silver grand swordmaster, as well as a small amount of anger. How could her master allow her to do something like this? He had chosen betrayal for the chance of salvation.

Nailisi was even more surprised than him and asked, ”Do you not know that demons naturally love to trick others?”

The silver grand swordmaster gave a bitter laugh and asked, ”Can you kill me first?”

”Hah.” Nailisi laughed softly and said, ”Don’t you understand? I don’t care about the information you’ve given me. I was just playing a game with you to make you feel even worse than you already did. Tell me, do you think I’ll still kill you first?”

He felt a chill run down his spine. He really should not have come this time.

Nailisi ate away at a hand before turning to his legs. She said, ”Your flesh is really good, so your soul must be delicious too. However, I will give you another chance. If you are loyal to me and give me your soul, I will spare you. How about it? It is but a small contract.”
