"Hooh, is it stronger than those two?"

Eve was a little surprised after missing the first attack. It seemed that this personality had some level to it, at least much stronger than the two who were killed instantly.

"Number three, number four, cover me!"

Despite blocking the attack, the demon follower known as Number Two showed no joy. Judging from the attack just now, the opponent's strength was definitely far superior to theirs. How could there be such a person among the human race besides the Imperial General and the Holy Church Pope?!

Feedback on the fatal injuries and pain of the past didn't even have any effect on her!

Although they didn't know what race she was, the girl in front of them was definitely not a human!

"Dream, Hellfire Star."

As Eve slashed through the air with the air blade in her hand, more than ten Hellfire Stars began to riot within the barrier, and countless black fire lines began to cut everywhere. A dodgeball game where one hit meant death kicked off for Number Three and Number Four who wanted to come to support.

Seeing that No. 3 and No. 4 were unable to take care of themselves, No. 2 had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to fight Eve.

With a wave of his left hand, several black energy balls flew towards Eve, and then some black energy turned into a set of armor on No. 2's body. However, these black energy balls were cut into pieces and detonated by the black fire lines halfway, and failed to interfere with Eve at all.

The waves of fire dissipated. Looking at No. 2's outfit, Eve raised her brows and raised her air blade again.

"I didn't expect that he was a master of both magic and martial arts."

"Tsk."

Seeing that the long-range attack was useless, No. 2 actually took the initiative to attack Eve.

Instead of passively waiting for the opponent to attack, it is better to take the initiative to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, with the opponent's speed, he may not be able to react next time.

“That’s a good idea, but…”

The next moment, No. 2's body and armor were cut in half at the waist. This time, Eve waited for about ten seconds before cutting off his head with a knife and finally burning him completely with the Hellfire Star.

"It's still a little tender."

Number Two, defeated.

§ 127 Rest [Fourth Update]

"Ha, there's more..."

Looking at the black turbid current that appeared again in the void, Eve was speechless. It was not difficult to kill, but the opponent was really tough and could not be completely killed.

Was that guy called Number Two? So there has to be a Number One? Hopefully, killing that one will put an end to this.

Then the black turbid current condensed into four figures. The demon believers who were resurrected this time seemed very cautious. They took a defensive stance right after coming out, not daring to move rashly, and did not even switch personalities to report the damage to Eve in the first place.

"Number One, the enemy is very strong, much stronger than me, and they are not human. When they fight us, they are almost killed instantly, and reflexes are useless."

Number Two, holding a spear, looked at Eve and spoke to the figure protected in the middle.

"Is that so? Then we can only make a small sacrifice on our newly acquired collaborator."

As Number One finished speaking, the aura of several demon god believers around him suddenly surged, but then they crashed headfirst into the border of the Ten Directions Fire Hell Realm.

As their power ran wild, after a loud bang, a small gap was torn in the Ten Directions Fire Hell Realm by this extremely close-range self-explosion, and a black light took the opportunity to shoot out from it and quickly sank into the underground of the area where Drem was.

"Tsk, quite decisive."

Seeing her opponent running away, Eve also released the Ten Directions Fire Hell Realm. She originally wanted to test whether she could bypass the feedback mechanism.

"Eve! Are you okay?"

Istina, who had been watching the entire battle, hurriedly took Arcana and Ilvia and flew over after seeing the magic barrier lifted.

"It's okay. The opponent has some special abilities that can feed back fatal injuries, but it has no effect on me. If we have to fight that guy again later, Tina, you absolutely must not interfere."

Although it is basically ineffective against her, the opponent's ability to respond to pain and reflect fatal damage is still very powerful. Apart from anything else, in a one-on-one fight, she can basically use her own life to kill her opponent.

However, Eve later thought of a possible solution, which was to use an attack like Lingchi, which was difficult to determine whether it was a fatal injury, to wear down the opponent. But unfortunately, before she had time to test the opponent, he decisively ran away. That Number One was decisive enough.

"Ah."

"Okay, let's go down and take a look."

As Eve said that, she and the others flew towards the area where Drem was hiding.

"Hmm...still no reaction. You hid it well enough."

After going down, Eve used magic to explore the place as usual, but unfortunately, she still found nothing. Drem's safe house was hidden so well that even the fluctuations of the demon believers just now could not be found.

To be precise, one can sense that there are subtle abnormalities here, but it is difficult to locate them accurately. The hidden principle here seems to be disguising the correct information as noise to make people subconsciously ignore it.

This area is covered by an exhibition hall, which displays portraits and biographies of the successive patriarchs of the Grans family. The internal structure is a bit complicated, so Eve had no intention of going in to explore and decided to just repeat the same trick.

"Forget it, I'll leave Tina to you. Remember to move a little slower."

"Ah."

The red magic sheet covered the entire area again, and then began to descend little by little, and soon the entire memorial completely disappeared from the ground.

As the magic piece continued to go deeper, Eve's exploration finally had feedback, accompanied by the feeling of a barrier being broken.

"Okay, you can stop now."

Eve, noticing the reaction from underground, immediately stopped Istina.

"Fifty meters underground? It's hidden pretty deep."

Eve was speechless as she felt the results of the exploration. It was obvious that other shelters were only about ten meters underground, but the one used by Drem was quite deep. Wouldn't he feel tired climbing up and down at this depth?

This depth is sufficient to withstand most dangers, excluding the risk of being buried alive by earthquake collapse.

And the entrance was pitifully small. After Eve threw several light balls into the sky, several people searched the ground for a long time before finally finding an entrance that was only half a person's height and about one to one and a half meters in size.

With this size, even if Eve changed into her own loli body, she would not feel comfortable trying to crawl in.

Eve remembered Drem as a tall man, so he must have been hunched over as he went down. The thought of that scene was unsettling.

Although she had discovered Drem's hiding place, Eve was having a headache because this guy was hiding too deep.

It is not difficult to kill him. Blowing up these fifty meters is a piece of cake. With one shot of the Hellfire Star, she can directly turn these fifty meters into a magma lake, but she wants to catch him alive.

"Eh? It seems to be moving?"

At this moment, Eve suddenly noticed that the breath below began to move, as if it was climbing upwards, so she waited.

After a while, a figure in a suit and tie finally came out from the entrance of the safe house in an extremely indecent posture.

After returning to the ground, Drem first stood up and looked around, then straightened his messy suit, and then looked at Eve and others not far away.

Although everyone except him had been wiped out in the entire Grans family's residence, Drem remained calm, just like when Eve put the holy sword on his neck, as if he didn't care at all.

"Who is this Excellency? To possess such power, he must be no ordinary person. Why did you come to our Grans family?"

"Don't you know why I'm looking for you? Anyone contaminated by the devil will be killed without mercy."

Eve paused as she spoke.

"And we can be called friends for life and death."

"Friends of life and death?"

After hearing Eve's answer, Drem's brows frowned slightly. He had no idea how the Grans family could have provoked a powerful person of this level, and judging from the other party's intentions, they had provoked him thoroughly?

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, Your Excellency. A strong man like you is definitely not something a small family like ours, the Grans, can touch. After all, even in the Land of Wealth, we're not considered the top."

If she hadn't blown up a demon follower who was obviously much stronger and not just an ordinary trash, Eve would have thought about showing her holy sword and changing her identity, but it was not appropriate at the moment.

And Istina was clearly right next to her, but this guy didn't recognize her. It seems that this guy didn't care about the matter between the two of them at all... Tsk, so frustrating.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying that. Tell me, why did the Demon God's followers ask you to re-investigate the hero's affairs? It was you who killed him in the end, wasn't it?"

Hearing the other party mention the hero, Drem's face changed slightly but then he suppressed it. If that matter was exposed, then the other party would be a member of the vampire clan?

He was the only one in the family who knew about the conspiracy to murder the hero, and it was the followers of the Demon God who did it. Although the rest of the heroes' team were likely to have died at the hands of the Blood Demon King, he still destroyed their life contracts afterwards to prevent future troubles, because the only one who witnessed the incident was the Blood Demon King who was present.

"Hehe, regarding this matter..."

Just as Drem was about to say something, his expression suddenly turned strange, and then something unexpected happened—

§ 128 The Devil's Agent [Fifth Update]

Just as Drem was about to evade Eve's question, his body suddenly twitched uncontrollably, and then the voice of Number One came out of his mouth.

"Haha, let me answer this question. After all, I'm the mastermind. Miss, don't you mind?"

Although Drem's body was twisting constantly at this time, it did not affect No. 1's ability to use his body to speak.

"Number one?"

"Yes, let me introduce myself. You can call me Number One, and I am one of the agents of the Demon Lord's will in the human race. Everything is for the Demon Lord's return."

"You're a bit weak for an agent."

However, in the face of Eve's ridicule, No. 1 showed no anger.

"Indeed, my strength is completely unworthy of the title of the Demon Lord's agent, but in front of the Demon Lord, you are nothing more than ants."

"But the demon god you mentioned was crushed to pieces by those ants. His body was shattered all over the ground and it's impossible to put it back together."

"..."

Eve's words successfully silenced Number One, but unfortunately, Drem's facial muscles were still twitching, so Eve couldn't see his expression, which was a bit regrettable.

But at this time, Drem regained some control.

"You, lied...to me."

But then it was snatched back by Number One.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Drem? You still have self-awareness, don't you? That means you're still alive."

"you!"

Eve was quite interested in watching this double act. Drem was like a goose hunting all day long, and finally got pecked by the goose. His favorite fake contract was also used on him.

I don't know why he would accept the power of the Demon God's followers. How could he, a pure profiteer, believe that the Demon God's followers are trustworthy? I don't understand it at all.

"Okay, I just lost my composure. So, is there anything you want to ask me?"

This time, Drem's control over his body seemed to have been completely taken away by Number One. His expression was no longer strange, and his body stopped twitching.

"Didn't you kill the hero? Why are you investigating him again?"

"This is all the will of the Demon Lord."

"..."

You can't say this is nonsense, you can only say this is nonsense. As expected of a follower of the devil, even though this seems a little more normal, it's still brainless.

"Forget it, let's talk about how you tricked this profiteer into accepting your power."

"This is all thanks to you."

Number One said this and looked at Eve with a smile.

"Even after such a long period of cooperation, he was unwilling to accept my power, but under your threat, he finally agreed."

Suddenly, Number One changed back to Drem's voice and said.

"As long as I sign a life contract, I will agree to cooperate."

Then he cut back and said sarcastically.

"He agreed so easily, even though Number Four died once because of it."

"Heh, you've been infiltrating this place for more than a day or two, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have wiped out everyone in an instant. So, where are those people?"

"No, no, no, that is a gift. It is to let them feel the gift of the Demon God."

Number One controlled Drem's body, raised his hands, and spoke loudly, but he showed no intention of answering.

"last question."

"You tell me."
