Chapter 125 Slave Heart Lock, Activated!

Once he reached a high enough position, Louis twisted the darkness beneath his feet into a resilient rope.

He stepped onto the rope, his body sank, and suddenly leaped towards the end of the demonic tide.

Whoosh—

His body shot forward like an arrow, his speed no less than that of a hawk swooping down to catch its prey.

While Louis was flying, his body remained in the darkness.

He was like a darling of darkness, receiving maximum protection wherever there was shadow.

As the momentum subsided and Louis began to fall, he immediately solidified a new rope beneath his feet and continued to use his super bounce to accelerate.

With a few leaps, he traversed the seemingly boundless battlefield and arrived in the airspace above the demon's main tent.

Upon reaching his destination, Louis stopped accelerating and allowed himself to freefall.

The wind whistled past his ears, and just as his head was about to touch the ground, suddenly, a dark rope emerged from the darkness, tied around his ankle, and held him firmly.

Looking at the ground so close at hand, Louis had a sudden thought. The ropes on his feet disappeared, and with a nimble flip, he landed steadily on the ground.

He turned his head and looked at the Blackrock City, which had become very small in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"Having air superiority is awesome."

Even for assassins with stealth abilities, traversing the battlefield is fraught with danger if they cannot fly.

In the midst of the demonic tide, there are demons who are specifically responsible for releasing detection magic, as well as demons with special talents for seeing through things. If you are not careful, you will be discovered by the enemy and be ganged up on.

However, even if they could fly over, there was still one problem they had to solve if they wanted to infiltrate the demon's tent.

Louis hid in the darkness and quickly approached the demon's tent, soon spotting a campsite beside a stream in the forest.

Around the camp, there was a semi-transparent barrier emitting a ghostly purple light.

This barrier has no defensive effect; its only purpose is to detect magic power.

As soon as any creature with magical power enters the barrier, all the demons within the barrier will know immediately and take action.

Whether it's a human superhuman, an orc warrior, or a combat unit of some other intelligent race, it's impossible for them to be without magic.

With this barrier alone, no assassin could possibly infiltrate the human camp.

Louis had already learned of the existence of this barrier from the succubus's memories.

However, he never thought it would be a problem.

Humans with magical powers cannot enter?

Then I'll just become a demon.

Demonic transformation! Activate!

The 20 points of demonic power were immediately activated, transforming all of Louis's magical power into the purest demonic energy.

At this moment, apart from still having a human face, Louis's temperament was even more demonic than that of a demon, and he had absolutely no human qualities whatsoever.

He casually took a step forward and easily stepped into the barrier without triggering any alarms.

However, after entering the barrier, he immediately reduced his demonization level by ten points, giving himself half magic power and half demonic energy.

If all that's left is demonic energy, then his human skills and talents will be useless.

Louis concealed himself in the darkness once more, surveyed the area around the camp, and discovered that there were no patrols around.

Perhaps the demons never expected that a freak who could switch freely between humans and demons would infiltrate them.

At the very center of the camp was a huge house built of stone, with deep red flames emerging from the gaps between the stone bricks.

This is clearly the residence of the leader of this demon army, the Lava Demon.

Due to their physical characteristics, they cannot live in tents like other demons, making them very easy to identify.

Aside from the stone house, the most conspicuous thing in the camp was a large tent. In the succubus's memory, the tent contained the coffin of the hero Molly.

To power Molly the Warrior, a magic circle was connected to the coffin, which occupied a large area, resulting in the large tent for storing the coffin.

Next to the large tent was the dwelling of the three witches, who ate and lived together in perfect harmony.

It was precisely because the three witches were so close to Molly's body that Louis dared not make any rash moves tonight.

A while has passed since Molly's siege, and the witches must have recovered a lot of strength. If we want to steal the body, we should take advantage of the night when they are most tired and relaxed.

"Now we should find a hiding place and spend the whole day in peace."

Louis thought to himself.

He found a tent and crawled inside.

There was no one inside the tent. The interior was neat and tidy. In addition to the bed, there was a desk that had somehow appeared, with some books written in the demon script on it.

In the succubus's memory, the owner of this tent was a level 1 Shadow Demon with a base stat total of 40.

Shadow Demons are a demon race skilled in assassination and stealth, but with average direct combat abilities. They are a demon race on par with succubi.

Because this Shadow Demon has high base stats, it is considered the highest-ranking level 1 demon.

At this moment, the Shadow Demon and other demons are commanding the demonic tide on the battlefield.

"You're the one."

Louis was very satisfied with the environment inside the tent.

He hid in the darkness of the tent, quietly awaiting the return of the Shadow Demon.

Time passed second by second.

As soon as the sky outside the tent began to brighten, the demon camp became lively.

One by one, the demons of various appearances returned, exhausted from a night of battle.

But upon their return, they couldn't rest immediately; they still had to attend a meeting.

Louis leaned against the tent, listening intently to the demons' meeting.

"Where's Mela? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

A deep, sulfurous voice rang out; it was the lava demon giving a speech.

Mela is the name of that succubus.

"Lord Gro, Mera is dead."

A voice replied, "She doesn't know what mistake she made, that revealed her location, and was killed by the elite among humans."

The lava demon named Groh roared, "What a piece of trash! Tomorrow I'll see you kill even more humans!"

A group of demons readily agreed.

The superior's reprimand ended quickly, and the demons either went to the river to wash off the bloodstains or started fires to cook, and the camp was soon filled with the aroma of cooking.

Louis, who had been waiting all night, finally received his guest.

The Shadow Demon Ymir entered his tent.

He had large patches of dark, scaly skin that extended all the way to his forehead and jaw, but apart from that, his physique and appearance were no different from a human.

Shadow demons are generally more intelligent than ordinary demons, and Youmis is one of the smartest people in her race, whose hobby is learning.

"Finally finished with all that work. Fighting and killing really isn't for me."

Youmis stretched his limbs and sighed.

Rather than eating, he would rather be nourished by spiritual food right now.

But just as he was walking toward the desk, a figure that didn't reveal a single breath appeared in his field of vision.

That was a human being.

But what confused Youmis was that this human gave him a strong sense of familiarity, as if the other person was not a mortal enemy, but one of his own kind.

This prevented him from becoming wary immediately.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Because the humans on the other side clearly didn't consider him one of their own.
