What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

128. Between humans and demons, who has higher priority?

"Miss! It's bad! The city is flooded!"

In the mansion of the Dustinis family, the maid hurried to Darkness who had locked himself in his room and refused to come out.

"The head of the family told us to move to a higher place for shelter immediately! Miss, please stop being so mad!"

"okay, I get it."

Darkness’ voice was unusually calm.

The maids heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the sounds of someone walking and getting dressed. They were afraid that the young lady was still resisting and unwilling to move.

If they were washed away by a flood, their property wouldn't be a problem, but what if something happened to the young lady's health?

After opening the door, the maid was about to take Darkness away, but she found that Darkness had already changed into combat armor and had a sword on his waist. She pulled Darkness but failed to pull him, and almost pulled herself instead.

"As a member of the Dustinis family, I have a duty to protect my people!"

Helping up her maid, Darkness had dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she had not slept well since the news of the blind date came out.

The maid said anxiously: "But... Miss Lalatina..."

Darkness stumbled as she ran down the stairs, and rolled and scrambled into the opposite wall. “I told you not to call me that! Whatever, take father and move! I’m going to exercise my rights as a noble!”

The center of the flood

Cough cough cough!

Lord Aldap coughed violently. The water that poured into the secret passage had already reached his waist. It was hard to imagine what the situation was like outside.

Moreover, there were some other things mixed in the water, and Lord Aldap felt that wherever he touched the water, it was burning, itchy and painful.

Curse or poison?!

Never considering that he was showing signs of becoming a demon, which was why he reacted to the holy water, Lord Alderp used his only remaining intact arm to ask the Duke of Hell for help.

Right now, the flood that is considered "world-destroying" to Lord Aldap has threatened his life, and the Duke of Hell is definitely able to rescue him from here!

"Save! Save me! I will pay the price!"

Lord Alderp shouted in despair, but the Duke of Hell just gave him a vicious look.

Has this idiot been completely corrupted by the magic of distorting cognition and eliminating contradictions? ? ?

This is holy water! It has a strong effect on repelling demons and other monsters. It can also maintain the purity of the holy water while maintaining such a large scale. A 3,000-person priest chanting class may have been mobilized outside, and they are constantly casting divine spells here!

But... Maxwell's own condition was not very good either. Under the influence of the two intelligence-reducing halos, he just accidentally swallowed a large mouthful of holy water rich in divine magic power.

Now it seemed as if there was explosive magic burning inside the body of this great demon, which made him unable to utter even a complete sentence. He could only endure it and recover from his injuries.

Fortunately, Maxwell is a great demon, a great demon at the level of the Duke of Hell. Except for occasional amnesia, he maintains the passing line of a great demon in other aspects, and even exceeds it.

Standing on a cabinet that would not be submerged in holy water for a while, Maxwell raised his hand and grabbed Lord Alderp, whose two arms he had broken.

"Hey, you said you're going to pay the price? My dear Lord Alderp?"

Seeing that things were turning around, Lord Aldap nodded hurriedly: "I have a lot of wealth and experience, which can help you gain a foothold in human society!"

"Wealth? Experience?" Maxwell spat out the last bit of holy water and spat in Lord Alderp's face, "Isn't that all due to my ability? You useless thing."

"I am useless... Lord Devil, let's get out of here!"

Alderp didn't want to argue with Maxwell. The uneasy feeling of being soaked in the flood made him wish he could die right now.

Unfortunately, the water was too cold. He was unwilling to die.

"Humph, I will get out even without you telling me. Don't worry, you won't die." Maxwell prepared the teleportation array while looking at the lord whose features were almost twisted into a ball. "I will make you pay in hell."

“【Teleport】!”

The chanting time was very short, and Maxwell chose to teleport to a fixed point, teleporting himself and Lord Aldap to the rooftop where he had been before and left a mark.

Instead of choosing to teleport immediately, this Duke of Hell, who was prone to amnesia, still felt a bit proud after getting his memory back.

Even if the other party really has three thousand priests, as long as he takes out his two intelligence-reducing halos, it will be easy to defeat them.

Seeing the flood that had erupted from the center of the Lord's Mansion spreading to the distant streets, and seeing that there were still a steady stream of raindrops falling from the clouds and in the air, Lord Aldap subconsciously shouted: "Guards! Barda! Where are my people!"

Lord Alderp still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Even if he did nothing, committed many evil things, bullied men and women, raped and robbed, and exploited the people in the village...

Compared to a big devil like the Duke of Hell, you should defeat the devil first, right?

That's a big devil, the Duke of Hell! He's just like a god, but when he does evil, it's like a natural disaster!

In this way, he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity when the adventurers were fighting the devil to sneak away, run among the guards who were loyal to him, and then take his property and run to another country to live a luxurious life again.

But he shouted several times, but no loyal guards or his son who always advised him came out.

It seemed that these people had disappeared when he entered the underground secret passage.

The Duke of Hell sneered, "We never know when loyalty issues will arise, my dear Alderp, no matter how stupid you are."

"Have you ever thought about having your guards and adventurers kill me too?" The Duke of Hell pulled up the fat lord and looked into his eyes that had completely lost any spirit.

"In front of me, the power of your people is nothing."

While absorbing the negative emotions emanating from the lord, Maxwell was looking for the source of magic power to release the flood and purification.

Contrary to his expectations, the Duke of Hell did not find any Eris army or priests around the Lord's Mansion. However, there was a terrifying magical fluctuation coming from one direction that had not yet subsided.

Staring at the source of the magic power, the smile on Maxwell's face disappeared.

The situation was worse than he thought.

The human side did not use the tactic of human wave in an attempt to defeat this great devil by numbers. Instead, there was a qualitative mutation, and the magic power of some individuals was no less than that of any Duke of Hell.

Even if it is not the magic power of a single individual, but relying on props such as mana ore that can provide magic power, it means that human beings are different from what he imagined.

Humanity has evolved to this extent? It seems that sacrificing a few days for the opportunity to descend into the main world is worth it.

"The man who ran to hell last time and caused a lot of trouble and drained a lot of hell's magic power... I don't know if he is now..."

Maxwell took another deep breath of the negative emotions from the lord, and growled as he sniffed, "Such abundant magic power, such terrifying purity... If such a person can be corrupted..."

"Just thinking about it makes me drool!"

Maxwell threw the extremely frightened Lord Alderp to the ground, and flew straight towards Aqua without even looking at the rubbish who claimed to pay the price.

On the rooftop, Connor had already armed himself fully. The gorgeous assassin's master uniform transformed by the Apple of Eden made Kazuma envious, as he was also an otaku who had played Assassin's Creed.

"Aqua, that's enough. Take back your magic power and prepare for the purification technique."

Connor looked at the big demon that quickly broke into the edge of [Eagle Vision], and a necklace made of Aqua's tears and hair [Tears of the Goddess] was hung around his neck.

In this way, even if he leaves Aqua, this treasure can protect him from the influence of the great devil's distorted cognition for a period of time.

As long as he could delay the Duke of Hell's actions, Aqua's purification technique would definitely purify the big devil on the spot.

"coming soon!"

129. No surprise

"Um……"

Barda was about to say something. He was a knight and didn't have the [Perception] that Kazuma learned from the thieves, nor did he have Connor's [Eagle Vision]. He had no idea what was happening in the lord's mansion.

When he turned around and saw Connor, he immediately covered his mouth.

At the edge of the rooftop ten meters in front of Aqua, Connor was already standing on the half-person-high guardrail with Kazuma, with the bows in their hands drawn into a full moon shape, and the arrows were pointing in the direction of the lord's mansion.

Before Balda could see clearly, Connor had already released the bowstring in his hand, and a black arrow flew out with a whoosh, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Obviously, it was definitely not a pure bow and arrow.

Kazuma also shot in the direction Connor pointed, and Barda could barely see the blurry figures of two arrows, one in front and one behind.

Then, without even looking at the results, Connor bent his bow again and shot three arrows in a row.

He used the skill [Predator Shot] on the last arrow. At this moment, his field of vision had already flown out along with the tip of the arrow, and with the fine-tuning of Eagle Eye Vision, he was adjusting his trajectory bit by bit.

Clap clap clap!

There were four consecutive muffled sounds, and the arrow shot by Kazuma and the three special arrows shot by Connor before exploded in the air as if they hit something flying at high speed, and a black shadow appeared out of thin air at the center of the explosion.

Barda looked intently at the shadow and could vaguely make out a human figure. This must be the Duke of Hell that these people were talking about, Barda thought to himself, but he was not slow in his hands. He and Kazuma, who had retreated, had already drawn their swords and stood in front of the high priest Aqua.

Darkness, the best tank in the team, was not there, so Kazuma had no choice but to temporarily act as the vanguard. In his hand, he was holding a handful of holy water summoned by Aqua, just waiting for the demon to fly in front of him and splash it in his face.

The big demon who was stopped by the special arrow started moving again, but then he had to stop again and hurriedly took a step to the right.

That's [Predator Shooting]!

Connor's sight moved along with the movement of the big demon. The arrow, which obviously would not change its trajectory after flying out, actually adjusted its direction and chased after the big demon.

“How amazing! Can an archer be like this?!” Kazuma’s eyes lit up. If an archer could continue to control his arrow after shooting, wouldn’t he be a monster-killing machine? Wouldn’t it be possible to have a lot of Eris just with hands?

Kazuma decided to ask Connor after the battle to see if he could teach him this useful skill and how many skill points it would cost.

The big demon dodged several times in a row, but the arrows still flew towards him. Even though he had pulled up vertically to his limit, the strange arrow also flew towards him vertically.

The great demon Maxwell had only seen this kind of operation in the hands of a magician with strong control, and the magician was manipulating a magic missile composed of magic power.

[Predator Shot] rushed towards the big demon's throat, and pierced into the big demon's body with a whoosh. The Duke of Hell also stopped completely in mid-air.

"Hit?"

Barda asked cautiously.

"No, be careful, he's coming!"

Connor opened his eyes and pressed his left hand on his temple, where the blood vessels were throbbing.

Using [Predator Shooting] for a long time was also a great burden on his spirit. The arrow was not shot at the Duke of Hell on his own initiative, but was taken by the opponent on his own initiative.

Just as Connor observed, the great demon Maxwell hovering in the air slowly straightened up, holding the arrow that carried a portion of Connor's magic power in his mouth, and looked at the people on the roof with contempt.

"Good archery, but I put so much effort into tracking that it's as powerful as a toy."

The arrows in the Duke of Hell's mouth were like roses in the mouths of noble knights. While speaking, Maxwell did not forget to take off his hat to salute, indicating that he had discovered the human who dared to shoot arrows at him.

"Let me take your talent to hell...hiss...hiss!!!"

A blister suddenly appeared on the mouth of Maxwell, the Duke of Hell and the great demon, and then more blisters popped up on his tongue, the inside of his mouth, and his upper and lower lips like mushrooms after rain.

"Holy water?!!! Despicable, so despicable!"

Maxwell's mouth, which was holding the arrow, began to tremble.

"Tracking depends on your mental strength. Your mental strength is limited, so you can't attach more things to the arrow."

Connor on the rooftop explained to everyone: "So I soaked all the arrows in holy water the night before."

After three arrows were fired, the big demon had already entered the normal field of vision. It was a sheer waste of energy and resources to continue shooting arrows with the big demon's speed. Although Connor's [Predator Shooting] could adjust the direction of the arrow, it was still too difficult to keep up with the speed of the Duke of Hell.

After putting away the quiver of his bow and arrows, Connor took out his most trusted axe.

Although it is incongruous that an assassin's most trusted weapon is a battle axe, but coupled with Kang Si...

The holy water only soaked the arrows, and the injuries were healed by the big devil in the blink of an eye. Next, Connor and others had to face the wrath of the Duke of Hell.

"You despicable humans! I will send you all to hell! No, I will distort your perception. From now on, in the eyes of normal people, you will be demons that crawled out of hell!"

Maxwell's hideous laughter pierced through the brains of everyone on the rooftop. Everyone except Aqua felt nauseous and wanted to vomit something on the spot.

Connor held onto the railing, silently calculating the big demon's dive speed. He didn't open his palm until the wind brought by Maxwell had already hit his face.

【disappear】!

Snapped!

A white light flashed, and the big demon's wings folded weakly behind his back. The magic that kept Maxwell flying was also interrupted in an instant.

Maxwell was dizzy and his body was falling down uncontrollably.

"Purify!"

Connor shouted, the Duke of Hell has a high magic resistance, the dizziness and magic interruption caused by [Disappearance] cannot last long, maybe he has recovered by the time he finished shouting this sentence.

But as expected, Aqua, who was placed with high hopes, met with an accident.

"What's so bright! My eyes!"

The dizziness and magic blocking had no effect on Aqua, but the strong light coming out of Connor's palm was seen by Aqua.

"Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?"
