I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Pfft!"

This monstrous, alien-like being, controlled its spider-like lower body structure, opened its massive mouth full of mandibles and fangs, and like popcorn, grabbed a handful of despairing and numb children from the cage and threw them into its hideous maw.

There wasn't even a scream; all that could be heard was the crimson glow flashing in the eight eyes of the spider-like lower body of the monster, while a blissful expression appeared on the male face of its upper body.

This monstrous creature was not a ghoul, but a demon, a mid-to-high-level lost demon.

Several ghouls at the front of the group watched this scene without reacting. They knelt on one knee in front of the other party, bowed their heads and spoke.

"Sir, our place has been discovered by humans. Should we move to another location?"

The lost demon spider man glanced at the tiny, kneeling ghoul below with his crimson, glowing eyes, and reached out to touch his stomach.

"So many ghouls are facing humans who are food in your eyes, and you still need to run away? I haven't even had my fill yet."

"Please, sir, move with us! We will surely offer you as many more humans as possible!"

This spider-man-like lost demon has recruited a large group of ghouls as his subordinates to hunt humans, and uses some kind of evil magic to increase his strength by consuming human flesh and blood.

Through this evil method, his power is almost at the threshold of becoming a high-level demon.

This kind of evil technique is not very rare. In the past, monsters often increased their strength by eating humans.

In modern times, few people use this method to enhance their strength anymore, because indiscriminate killing of humans will always attract the wrath of exorcists or righteous forces.

In the eyes of this lost demon, humans are merely inferior beings, and using them to enhance their own power is an honor for them. In the eyes of ghouls, they are nothing more than prey and food to be eaten.

Demons and ghouls collude, with the lost demon, as the leader, protecting his ghoul underlings and using them to hunt humans or other hostile ghouls.

It's fair to say that neither of these two disgusting guys are any good.

Razer speculated that it was not impossible for certain forces to be protecting the ghouls, and there was one such example here.

"Miss..."

A slightly androgynous voice growled from the other cage. Looking over, one could see a handsome young man dressed as a male butler with beautiful golden-orange hair.

P.S.: Some readers want to see female demons in High School DxD, but I can't fulfill your wishes for now. Because of the presence of Kasuga Hijiri, who is the God of the Bible, in Raiji's life, it's impossible for him to have any good relationship with demons.

Don't give me that idiotic nonsense about how some demons are friendly. My novels are more realistic. Don't take the word "evil" at the beginning of the word "demon" for granted.

Moreover, when playing Devil May Cry, Raiji won't turn into a Devilman. After all, what would happen if he became a half-devil and got along with Kasuga Hijiri?

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Rampage of Lei Zhe

The 'handsome boy' crouched in the cage, clutching his slightly injured right arm, his eyes wide with fury as he watched the innocent children being mercilessly devoured. This scene directly provoked him, making him unconsciously want to stand up.

"Hey, calm down!"

"Butler, you mustn't... move around."

With two soft words of advice, two slender, snow-white hands grasped Konoe Ang's shoulders and left arm, stopping her impulsive actions.

Upon hearing this, knowing that his impulsiveness would have bad consequences, Konoe Ang gritted his teeth and reluctantly squatted back down, turning his head to look at his young mistress.

With her fair and pretty face, solemn and serious expression, long black hair reaching her waist, and her hair tied into pigtails with white ribbons, she looked like a dignified and virtuous young lady.

She is Suzutsuki Kanade, the eldest daughter of the Suzutsuki family, and also the mistress of the man in front of her, Konoe Ang, who is dressed as a man and has a neutral appearance.

The other one was also a woman, a petite and lovely girl who looked quite young. She was wearing a sailor uniform and appeared to be very thin due to malnutrition. She had snow-white hair and red eyes, and her long, messy bangs covered her face.

"Hmm... the butler is very strong, but... there's no chance of victory, so... don't move rashly." The soft, introverted loli voice immediately pulled Konoe Subaru back from his impulsive state.

Konoe Ang looked at the little girl with slightly messy silver hair, dressed in a sailor uniform, sitting next to her young lady with a complicated expression. Looking at the little girl's young appearance, she also regretted her impulsiveness just now.

If he impulsively runs out of the cage, he will definitely kill this little girl and his own young lady.

However, seeing that cruel and bloody scene was simply unbearable for her.

"Hmm, Bai is right. We have no ability to fight back against those monsters. If we act recklessly, our fate will be..."

Ryouzuki Kanade's expression wasn't very good either. She didn't finish her sentence, her gaze slightly shifting to the skeletons on the flesh wall and the scene of ghouls devouring their flesh and sucking their brains.

The disgusting scene made her nauseous just by looking at it. As her stomach began to churn, she quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away.

Seeing his young mistress's pale face, Konoe Subaru felt a pang of guilt. He glanced at the blood-soaked, hellish surroundings with a gloomy expression and said in a low voice with some resentment, "Are we just going to wait to die like this?"

The silver-haired loli named Shiro didn't dare to look at her surroundings. She sat curled up in the cage, her timid red eyes looking at Konoe Subaru as she said, "Those ghouls just said that this place has been discovered, and we have a chance to be saved, but... the greater chance is that we will be killed by the ghouls beforehand, or become that spider man's food."

"Konoe... Sister, could I ask you for a favor?"

Faced with the pleading eyes of the petite and adorable little girl in front of him, Konoe Subaru nodded silently and then gestured for her to speak.

Shiro bit her lip, her fearful and introverted eyes filled with obvious terror. Her voice trembled with a hint of tears as she spoke to Konoe Subaru, "Shiro... I'm afraid of pain, I don't want to be eaten by ghouls. If it's our turn next, could... could you please... finish me off before then, Konoe-nee?"

The silver-haired little girl knew that the female butler disguised as a man in front of her had extraordinary fighting skills; she could break the cage that trapped them with her bare hands. However, even if she broke the cage, she would not be able to deal with the ghouls and the huge lost demon.

It could even kill the people in this cage, so out of fear of harming them, they dared not act recklessly.

Shiro didn't believe that Konoe Subaru was capable of dealing with the monster outside the cage, let alone rescuing her. If Konoe Subaru had to choose between saving one person with his own life, that person would only be his young lady, Ryouzuki Kanade.

Therefore, this highly intelligent and genius little girl could only beg the other party to finish her off before she was eaten by the ghouls.

That way, at least one can die without much pain.

This request is humble, but for the others in the cage, it is an absolutely unattainable request.

In the face of ghouls and lost demons, dying without pain is a luxury.

"I......"

Konoe Ang's expression was rather unpleasant. Looking at the little girl in front of him, whose eyes were filled with despair, timidly making such a humble request to her, his heart ached continuously.

She is indeed quite skilled in combat. To protect her young mistress, her physical abilities are absolutely unmatched among her peers. At the very least, she has the strength to pry open the iron cage that confines them with her bare hands, and she is confident in dealing with a large group of adult men wielding knives.

Her Achilles' heel is Liang Yue Zou, the young lady she is meant to protect. If anyone dares to hurt the person she is protecting, she is ruthless enough to kill them.

However, aside from that, Konoe Subaru is also a kind person, and asking her to kill this cute little girl in front of her would go against her inner principles.

Konoe Subaru simply couldn't bring himself to kill an innocent little girl.

But seeing the little girl's fear and trembling, and recalling his kin who had been eaten before, Konoe Subaru did not want to see the little girl die from being eaten.

"...Okay, say yes to her."

Suddenly, Suzutsuki Kanade placed her delicate hand on the little girl's head and stroked it, wanting to comfort the frightened girl. She looked at Konoe Ang, whose face was pale and extremely conflicted, with a heavy expression, and said softly.

Although Haku's request put the kind-hearted Konoe Subaru in a difficult position, the idea of ​​escaping pain and dying directly was a luxury under these circumstances.

When the little girl made that request, she also had a fleeting thought of wanting Konoe Subaru to end her life so that she could die without much pain.

But that would be too despicable. Leaving Konoe Subaru to die painlessly alone, and letting the other party kill his young lady, wouldn't that be putting Konoe Subaru in a difficult position?

If she's going to die, she wants to die with her best friend, but at least let the lovely little girl beside her die without suffering.

"I...I understand, Miss!"

Konoe Subaru shed sad and painful tears, gritting his teeth as he agreed to the young lady's request.

Heavens, could you grant us a miracle?

If it could save the young lady and everyone else, I would give my life for it!!

In this hellish environment, she wasn't the only one praying; the other survivors were also praying for a miracle, for someone to come and save them.

But as they watched their fellow countrymen dwindle in number, dying one by one in the mouths of demons and ghouls, a cloud of despair slowly obscured the light of their inner prayers.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a tremendous thunderous explosion resounded, echoing through this blood-soaked, hellish underground space.

The people trapped in the cages were slightly taken aback, and most of them were startled by the enormous thunderous sound.

"pound!!"

Another explosion rang out, startling the large number of ghouls and lost demons who were preparing to leave.

**********

Beneath the mask, Lei Zhe's face was expressionless, eerily calm, and his azure eyes were filled with a silent killing intent.

"The CCG personnel above will soon finish clearing out the hostile ghouls, but finding this underground space will probably take a lot of effort, enough to allow those maggots to move."

Razer's figure transformed into an elusive bolt of lightning, moving swiftly through the underground passage.

The meditation and exploration techniques he learned from Xiao Sheng could be used in this way to prevent him from getting lost in this complicated passage.

A detailed model of the underground space appeared in his mind, which helped him find his destination smoothly.

He quickly found his destination and stopped moving at high speed.

There were four ghouls guarding the gate, each wearing a different style of mask. All four of them looked astonished, not understanding how a figure wearing a patterned mask and dressed in black could suddenly appear in the passage where there had been no one a moment before.

Lei Zhe's thinking speed was on high speed, and the moment the other party was stunned was as if a pause button had been pressed in his senses.

He took out the Qiankun Blade from his spatial backpack, and after carefully confirming that these guys were not the ghouls who killed his family, he beheaded all four of them with a single strike.

Through his perception, he could also sense many life reactions behind the large iron gate. The strongest life reaction had an aura that made him feel uncomfortable, like the kind of disgusting aura that made him want to get rid of the other party as soon as possible.

Moreover, the holy power within him, derived from the Holy Contract of Spring, was slightly restless.

"A demon...?"

Reiji's face beneath the mask was extremely grim. His previous guess was correct; these ghouls were indeed connected to other beings.

Now, aside from ghouls, Raize also doesn't have much affection for the demons of this world. His feelings towards the demon race are negative, belonging to the kind of extreme disgust, second only to ghouls who wish for their extinction.

Sizzle! ...

With one hand holding the unsheathed Qiankun Blade, Lei Zhe conjured a lightning-attribute energy blast with the other and slammed it fiercely into the steel gate.

Boom! !

"pound!!"

The thunderous and cracking sounds were incessant, but the violent explosions that followed immediately drowned out the thunder.

Whoosh!

With his body wreathed in blue and white lightning, Lei Zhe entered his highest acceleration state. Everything around him seemed to have stopped, because he was too fast. Even the aftershocks of the explosions around him couldn't keep up with his speed.

Raiji rushed into the dust cloud from the explosion, instantly passing through the gate defenses and the dust and smoke. The smoke cloud behind him, which had not yet fully dissipated because of his figure, still carried the ghouls who were guarding the gate inside and had been blown away by the explosion upwards.

His eyes widened as the space, with its walls of flesh covering every corner, and all the environmental information within it rapidly flooded into his mind for accelerated analysis.

The giant spider-man, the Lost Demon; ghouls armed with guns scattered in the corners of the defense; ghouls gathered in a group to eat; ghouls kneeling before the Lost Demon.
