I don't want to be a hero.

The demon that awakened from the statue state was a demon with two horns on its head, bat wings on its back, red scales all over its body, and it stood on two feet.

Because it was curled up before, now when it stands up, it is three or four meters tall. After the bat wings behind it are spread out, even the whole cave looks a little small.

"Ah, I am your pious servant, great evil..."

The dark magician who had just been standing at the top was so excited to see the awakened demon that he could not help himself. Just as he was about to step forward to speak, he was suddenly pierced through the chest by a sharp claw.

The one who made the move was none other than the demon they had summoned with so much effort.

"It was us who woke you up, why..."

The leading dark magician looked puzzled. Why did the being they had summoned with so much effort start killing them as soon as it appeared? Shouldn't they be the other party's devout slaves?

"The blood sacrifice is not enough, and my strength has not been fully restored. Compared to ordinary people, you, as wizards, can help me recover more strength.

Moreover, humans are like scum, how can they be worthy of being my followers? You should feel extremely honored to be the sacrifice for me to restore my strength! "

The red-scaled demon pulled out his sharp claws, licked the blood on them, and showed a savoring expression.

How long has it been since he last tasted this since he was sealed?

The other wizards who participated in the ceremony were naturally frightened and fled in all directions when they saw the demon killing people indiscriminately.

Originally, he thought that by summoning the devil and signing a contract with the other party, he would be able to obtain unparalleled magical power and make his name known throughout the entire continent. However, no one expected that the devil would be so untrustworthy!

They found this demon statue in a ruin. They thought it was quite ominous and were about to leave with other treasures when a whisper from the demon suddenly appeared in their minds.

The other party claimed that as long as they helped him to resurrect, he would be able to help him and others obtain powerful magic, immortal life, or inexhaustible wealth.

People like them, who already live a life where there may not be a tomorrow but there is today, how can they resist the temptation from the devil?

Facts have proved that making a deal with the devil is a very stupid thing to do, and the price of greed is their own lives.

Looking at the dark magician fleeing in all directions, the red-scaled demon would naturally not let the blood food in his mouth escape like this.

The red-scaled demon pressed the ground with one hand. As the ground shook, blood-red tentacles instantly broke out of the ground, and then pierced through the bodies of all the dark magicians as easily as breaking through window paper.

The moment the tentacles pierced the human body, they began to suck the blood from the other person's body like straws.

Almost immediately, mummies appeared on the ground, and the body of the red-scaled demon swelled as if it had been injected with hormones.

The originally skinny body, after receiving the blood supply, was instantly filled with strong muscles, and the magic power in his body was also much stronger than before.

And those dark wizards who had turned into mummies, under the gaze of the scarlet eyes of the red-scale demon, actually stood up shakily like zombies.

"Hahahaha! Demons also keep their promises. Now you have gained immortality and great power, but you are just my puppets!"

"You can only blame yourself for being too stupid to actually think of having an equal deal with the devil."

The red-scaled demon looked at the wizards who had lost their lives and turned into puppets, and began to laugh arrogantly.

"Alright, although my strength has recovered a lot, it has not yet reached its peak state. Two little mice over there, how much strength can you help me recover?"

The red-scaled demon said, looking towards where Yaya and Gajeel were hiding, with a look of great amusement on his face, as if preparing for the next game of cat and mouse.

The devil had naturally discovered Yeya and Gajeel a long time ago. After all, the aura of humans was so different from his own that it was difficult for him not to notice them.

"It was a disgusting and boring show.

But if you want us to be the cornerstone of your recovery, you're probably going to break a lot of teeth."

Gajeel looked at the red-scaled demon in front of him with an extremely excited expression. He could feel that the other party was very strong, but so what?

"The magic power in you seems to be much stronger than those rubbish just now. The magic power contained in your blood must be even greater. If I kill you, I should be able to fully recover."

The red-scaled demon looked at Yeya and Gajeel, as if he was quite satisfied with their dishes. This time he did not intend to do it himself, but waved his hand and let the mummy puppets rush towards Gajeel and Yeya.

As a demon, he is also a prestigious being. If he needs to do everything by himself, then what is the use of having younger brothers?

“Iron Dragon Stick——!”

Facing the mummies rushing towards him, Gajeel's arm turned into a pitch-black iron stick, and with a sweeping force, he directly swept away most of the mummy puppets.

The remaining part rushed towards Yeya. Yeya originally wanted to draw his sword, but when he thought that the little loli with Zanpakuto would always complain to him in the future and use her to cut all kinds of things, he put the sword back into the sheath and stretched out one hand instead.

The blue magic circle unfolded and a cold blizzard swept out. Before the mummies could even make any extra movements, they turned into exquisite works of art.

Seeing his puppet subordinates being dealt with easily, the Red Scale Demon's arrogant smile froze on his face and he was stunned for a short moment.

"I understand. It seems that I underestimated you before. In view of your strength, I am merciful and want to give you a chance to live.

As long as you bring me enough blood food, I can not only spare one of you, but also grant you powerful magic. What do you think of this deal?"

The strength of Yeya and Gajeel was somewhat beyond the devil's expectations, and he had just been resurrected. Although he didn't think he would lose, he decided to play it safe here.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, he was defeated by humans and turned into a statue because he was too careless.

The devil wanted to continue with his old tricks and use Yaya and Gajeel to help him recover his strength. When his strength returned to its peak, he would treat these two poor bugs as after-meal snacks.

"Gajeel, didn't you say you wanted to take the lead? If you don't, I'll do it."

Obviously, neither Yeya nor Gajeel have the slightest interest in the devil's temptation. The lessons from the past are there, and they won't be stupid enough to listen to the devil's fart.

Gajeel crushed the ground beneath his feet and rushed towards the Red Scale Demon first. His arm turned into a spear and stabbed towards the Red Scale Demon's heart with the momentum of the forward charge!

"You ungrateful fellows, since you insist on dying, then become the nourishment for me to recover my strength!"

Chapter 554 Devil: I knew this guy was not simple!

Gajeel's Iron Dragon Spear did not hit the Red Scale Demon's heart, but was easily blocked by the bat wings behind him.

The bat wings, which looked quite fragile, made a sound of metal clashing when they collided with Gajeel's Iron Dragon Spear.

Then the red-scaled demon spread out its bat wings, and Gajeel's body was flung away as if by a huge force.

A large number of red tentacles stretched out from the ground again, trying to suck Gajeel dry as usual.

However, as the "Iron Dragon Slayer", Gajeel has the ability to transform parts of his body into various iron weapons.

Those tentacles were unable to break through Gajeel's defense as easily as they had killed those small foe before.

"Is this the devil's method? Is that all?"

His arm transformed into an Iron Dragon Sword, and Gajeel cut off all the red tentacles that extended from him. Then he responded with another "Iron Dragon's Roar" that hit the opponent directly in the face.

However, this "Roar of the Iron Dragon" did not even touch the Red Scale Demon before it was dispersed by the opponent with one hand.

Looking at the sharp claws on his hands that were covered with white cut marks, the red-scale demon frowned unhappily.

"Dragon-slaying magic? It turns out you are not just ordinary wizards."

For demons at the pinnacle of magic, there are very few magics that can cause harm to them.

Just like dragons always have extremely strong resistance to magic, the same is true for demons. Most magic has no effect on them.

That is why ancient magic such as "Dragon-killing Magic", "Demon-killing Magic" and "God-killing Magic" appeared in this world.

Although the damage caused to him by the "Dragon Killing Magic" is not as exaggerated as the "Demon Killing Magic", there is no doubt that this is also one of the magics that can cause damage to him.

The red-scaled demon's expression became solemn. He originally thought that these were just two mice that he could play with at will, but he didn't expect that the other party had the ability to hurt him. They were no longer just ordinary mice.

No wonder the other party didn't choose to run away even though they knew they were discovered. It seems that they are fearless and want to be warriors.

So what about the other person, is he also a “Dragon Slayer”?

Looking at Ye Ya who was watching the fight with his arms folded on the other side, the Red Scale Demon had a bad feeling in his heart. From his keen perception, the other guy seemed to be more dangerous.

"It is better to kill the dragon slayer in front of me with lightning speed first, then leave here first, and wait until my strength is fully restored before killing the other bug."

The red-scaled demon secretly decided in his heart at this moment. It was not because he was too cowardly, but because although Ye Ya's magic power was not strong, it always gave him a sense of danger.

After sleeping for so many years and finally escaping from the predicament, he didn't want to be turned into a statue again before he could fully enjoy this world.

"Damn it! Do you have the time to be distracted while fighting me?"

Gajeel kicked with a whip kick, and the sword turned into an air-cutting sword in the air, and slashed towards the demon's head neatly.

However, knowing that the opponent might have the ability to threaten him, the Red Scale Demon did not intend to continue playing. He blocked Gajeel's Iron Dragon Sword with his sharp claws, and then swung out several blood blades, shooting towards Gajeel.

Because his kicking foot had not been retracted, it was impossible to dodge the blood blade that was coming at him, so Gajeel could only cross his hands to defend himself.

His hands turned into two iron bars and crossed to defend his head. The bloody blade followed. Because his arms turned into steel, Gajeel avoided having his arms cut off, but he was knocked into the rock wall due to the huge impact force.

After knocking Gajeel away, the Red Scale Demon didn't care whether Gajeel was dead or not. Instead, he spread out the huge bat wings behind him and prepared to leave.

In order to eliminate all hidden dangers, the Red Scale Demon decided to be cautious and first find a town to use the humans there to restore his power to its peak.

When Ye Ya, who had been watching the battle, saw the red-scaled demon preparing to run away, he was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the other party would be so cautious.

Did he sense the danger? But that didn't make sense. Normally, Yeya would suppress most of his magic power in order to enjoy the battle better.

If that demon could sense magic, he should be able to sense that his magic is weaker than Gajeel's...

"Blood cage!"

Seeing that Ye Ya was indeed taking action, the Red Scale Demon stretched out his hands, and a cage made of blood instantly enveloped Ye Ya.

Obviously, from the very beginning, the red-scaled demon expected Ye Ya to get up and chase him, so he prepared countermeasures early.

"This blood cage is one of my strongest abilities. Even if someone with magic power as strong as mine wants to escape, it will definitely be..."

Before the Red Scale Demon could finish what he was saying, he saw a scene that almost made him drop his jaw.

The blood cage that he had put so much confidence in was instantly frozen, and then with a casual wave of his hand, it turned into ice powder all over the sky.

"This guy is really not an easy person to deal with!"

Seeing this scene, the red-scaled demon dared not hesitate. The bat wings behind him flapped faster. He wanted to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

My alertness was indeed correct. This guy was able to break the blood cage so easily. He was definitely not an opponent I could handle as my strength has not yet fully recovered.

The red-scaled demon flew at a very fast speed, looking back from time to time, fearing that the other party would catch up with it.

Although he knew that it was impossible for a human to catch up with himself while flying at such a speed, the Red Scale Demon still felt that the danger had not completely left him.

He looked behind him and found no one chasing him. When he turned back, a dark fist that gradually grew larger suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Compared to the Red Scale Demon's several meters tall body, Yeya's size is like a baby in front of a giant.

However, the punch from Xiao Yeya was enough to make the huge red-scaled demon fly backwards to the original cave location at a speed faster than he had just flown, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

The huge body of the Red Scale Demon, like a cannonball, smashed into the magic circle that awakened him in the beginning, and directly created a deep pit in the ground with the same outline of his body.

The red-scale demon's body did not suffer much damage, but a fist-shaped dent on its head was extremely conspicuous.

"Roar----!"

Although the brain was hit hard, this injury was not fatal to the demon.

The red-scaled demon flew up again, looking vigilantly at the figure slowly walking in the aisle.

“Although I don’t know how you discovered my hidden strength, but since I chose to let you wake up, I also have the responsibility to clean up the mess.

Gajeel, can we exchange players now? If the fight continues, I will have to collect your corpse if I don't take action."

At this time, Gajeel's clothes became tattered and his arms were drooping. It was obviously unrealistic for him to continue fighting.

Chapter 555 Ye Ya: There are too many ways to kill you

(Today is the last day of the double monthly ticket. I don’t know how many friends are still following the book. I shamelessly ask for a wave of monthly tickets (?▽｀)

"Hmph, even if I don't plan to exchange players, you probably won't help me heal my injuries and let me continue fighting."

Gajeel said with a slightly unconvinced expression. He knew that there was still a big gap between his strength and that of this demon, but he didn't want to admit defeat just like that.

"You're right, I've been watching for so long, at least let me relax.

And if we delay too long, Cana, Juvia and the others will think we have an accident."

Yaya pulled out Muramasa and shifted his focus to the giant red-scaled demon.

Through the brief battle between Gajeel and this kind of demon just now, Yeya had a rough idea of ​​the opponent's level.

Much weaker than Makarov and Joseph, but much stronger than Natsu and Gajeel. Probably about the same as Erza.

Of course, this could also be because, as the demon said, he had been sealed for too long and his power had not fully recovered.

But now these are obviously not important, although I really want to see how strong the demon is when his strength is fully recovered.

But Yeya was not as reckless as Vegeta, allowing the opponent to fully recover his strength. Moreover, if the devil wants to recover his strength, it means sacrificing, so it is better to kill the opponent here.

"Blood Swamp!"

The Red Scale Demon also knew that the other party did not seem to intend to let him go, so he was now prepared to risk his life.
