Chapter 383: Evils terror (2/2)
All of a sudden, the Quimera Demon's eyes narrowed, and his energy exploded as he noticed the four individuals that appeared out of nowhere and were now surrounding him.
The Quimera Demon felt the powerful soul force of those individuals and was able to discern their appearance. They all had youthful looks born out of their thriving life force, and their cultivation had reached Rank 5.
The Rank 4 Demon was going to obey his nature and act base on his instinct. He would shot in one direction, attack the youth guarding that path and do everything in his power to escape. It was a simple but effective plan.
Unfortunately, before the Quimera Demon could take a single step forward, flaming chains fell from the sky. He attempted to fight back, but their power and speed were too much for a Rank 4 life form, even one with King Demonic Bloodline.
”Ahhhhh. Filthy humans, release me now!” The Rank 4 Demon felt immense pain due to the chains, but he still had the energy to bark. Anyone could tell he was in no position to give orders, but that did not stop him.
”Silence filthy thing.” Along with that voice, an extraordinary soul force came crashing down on the Quimera Demon, and the power it carried was enough to suffocate him.
The origin of that soul force was a slender man with long dark hair. His face was handsome and had a middle-aged man's characteristics, with moving shadows encompassing his eyes.
The Quimera Demon could not speak under the pressure of this man, but despite his unfavorable situation, there was no fear in his eyes, only madness and killing intent.
The middle-aged man stared at the demon's eyes and saw the burning wrath and desire to kill in them. He felt disgusted and wanted to kill him, but his mission came first.
”You are in luck, demon. If you answer some of my questions, I will let you live.”
As a demon who had awoken his True Soul, the Quimera Demon had enough wisdom to know how to behave in this type of situation. His eyes still burned with killing intent, but he nodded, indicating for the human to make his question.
The man focused on the Quimera Demon while the four youths closed in. While all of them were at Rank 5, the middle-aged man's strength was much higher than the others.
”Tell me everything you know about Evil City. Be precise about the magic defenses, the presence of hidden entrances, and the number of powerful life forms living in it.”
The Quimera Demon's eyes widened when he heard that question. The five humans could see how terror appeared in the face of the Rank 4 Demon. His breathing became rough, and in a matter of seconds, cold sweat had soaked his body.
The middle-aged man and the youths were surprised by the violent reaction of the Quimera Demon. A few moments ago, he was a killing machine that felt no fear even after being captured, but he was now shaking like a little girl.
”AHHHH!”
The Quimera Demon roared, and what happened next shocked the humans to the core. The Rank 4 Demon's head exploded, and his soul dimension and True Soul shattered.
”Master Hito, what happened!?” A young man with crimson hair and green eyes made that question to the middle-aged man. He examined the surroundings but felt nothing and could not understand what provoked the Quimera Demon's bizarre death.
The rest of the youths also used their consciousness to explore the fortress and everything around them, but like the crimson-haired man, they found nothing.
The middle-aged man remained silent for a few minutes and analyzed everything before finally answering the youths' doubts.
”It was not an external force that ended his life. The Quimera Demon was so terrified of that monster that he chose to kill himself rather than betray him.”
A somber expression appeared in the youths' faces when they heard those words. An entity capable of infusing such terror into a demon's heart was not someone they could underestimate.
