Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 514: Come for Peace
He was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, well-groomed, with neatly combed curly hair and no trace of beard. He walked out of the darkness in a relaxed and comfortable manner, clapping slowly as he walked.

Judging from the appearance alone, the man's demeanor and dignity seem to be completely impeccable, but if you look closely, you can find that the corners of his mouth always have a mocking smile, as if everything is under control, and his eyes also reveal an unspeakable and deeply hidden arrogance and cruelty.

This is the look and demeanor that only an ambitious person in a high position of power can have, and for Noshier,

"Look, look, look at what is happening here. This dark world should be peaceful and quiet, but look at what is happening in my eyes. There is no peace, only smoke, ashes and rubble. Oh, and there is such a tenacious soul in front of me, full of vitality and energy."

The man smiled at Noshil, and this seemingly friendly smile only made Noshil feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart. However, the man obviously did not care about Noshil's opinion of him, he just continued to speak.

"Haha... To be honest, this wasn't the perfect time I had imagined for our meeting, but fate has brought us together for our destined encounter."

The man stopped and stopped at a distance of 20 meters away from Noshil. He spread out his palms, facing Noshil, nodded slightly, spread his hands, and slowly spoke.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but let's introduce ourselves now. My name is Raphael, the great devil, son of Mephisto, the most distinguished devil noble in the Nine Hells. As for you, Noshir, I already know your name and your deeds very well in advance, so there is no need to say more about your self-introduction."

The corner of Noshir's eyes twitched slightly. This guy's tone was really infuriating, but Raphael hadn't finished his words yet.

"Haha, it wasn't until I filled the table with your information that I really understood what kind of rebellious act this blood relative of mine from Hell had committed. And when I saw you in person, it directly proved the truth of those rumors. I have to say that everything you have done is really impressive - and it also whetted my appetite."

There was an inexplicable light in Raphael's eyes, and Nosir couldn't help but sneer. Although seeing this "old friend" made Nosir feel nostalgic, it seemed that he no longer had the desire to continue talking to this guy, so he spoke directly.

"If you want to eat me, you must prepare a good set of teeth in advance."

Noshil raised his hand instantly and summoned his battle axe from the space box on his waist. He swung it around quickly with the fingers of one hand, then grabbed it suddenly and hung it on his shoulder.

“No matter what kind of sharp teeth and claws you put on, and no matter what kind of preparations you make, in the end, I will definitely smash them all to pieces.” Noshir lowered his body slightly and pulled up an excited smile. To challenge a big devil head-on might even be more difficult than challenging the main brain and Catheric. After all, he didn't have any exclusive weapons that could restrain a devil as powerful as him.

Although the Crown of Domination on his head could be considered a special attack against the devil, it was a simple control effect and obviously could not determine the outcome. However, it was precisely because of this that Noshier truly had the desire to challenge a strong enemy! He could no longer hold back and wanted to smash the arrogant face in front of him with his axe.

"Relax, relax, I was just joking. For a young, sharp and powerful soul like you, it would be a waste to hastily swallow a few mouthfuls. Before you make a hasty decision, I think we should chat a little more."

"But I don't think there's anything to talk about between me and the devil!"

Noshier jumped up instantly! With a distance of only 20 meters, he didn't even need a breath to rush to Raphael's face! In an instant, the huge battle axe chopped down directly at his arrogant face!
But at the same time, in the next moment! Noshir's battle axe actually went straight through Raphael's figure! Even his entire body seemed to pass through a phantom, and in the end, this powerful and fast blow was poured onto the empty space, exploding a huge dust ball.

'Illusion?! No, that's not right. The Raphael in front of me is absolutely real. His voice, smell and even body shape are definitely entities that can only be displayed by a real person. It is definitely not an invisible and intangible phantom. The reason why he was able to dodge my attack was that at that moment, he used some means to transform himself into an illusion or other similar virtual state, which successfully avoided the fatal injury, but...'

Noshier turned around and swung the axe again! It swept across Raphael's body smoothly again, as if his attack was completely useless and could not do anything to this sudden strong enemy. However, Noshier knew that Raphael was far from being as relaxed as he appeared.

The means Raphael currently displays are very similar to the dimensional jump of a nightmare, but even if a real nightmare is performing a dimensional jump, there is at least a six-second cooldown time between the two performances of the skill. No matter what means Raphael uses to maintain his current "invincible" state, the duration of this state will definitely not be infinite!
And Nosil's guess was indeed correct. The reason why Raphael was able to dodge Nosil's attack was actually entirely due to a special magic item he had prepared in advance. That magical item could send Raphael's body to a similar parallel plane within five minutes after being activated, and generate a unique mirror image connected to him at his original position.

This mirror image has no physical attack capabilities, but it can still cast some special magic prepared in advance, and can also observe the current situation on behalf of Raphael and convey his own words.

However, at this moment, facing Noshil's relentless pursuit, Raphael still maintained his calm and composure. He folded his hands listlessly, raised his right hand in front of him, rubbed his thumb and middle finger boredly, and then yawned loudly.

He was not worried about his own safety, because his purpose of coming here was never to fight with Noshil, and Raphael was confident enough to accomplish his purpose within these five minutes.
