Rotgar did not unfold his flesh wings. He saw that Aosta was not in a normal state at this moment and knew very well that the other party was not his opponent.
But he didn't intend to tease Aosta and take his time.
Aosta brought up a gust of wind when he rushed over. His fist hit Rotgar like a heavy hammer. The latter grabbed his fist slightly behind his left shoulder. At the same time, black flames followed his fist. It quickly spread to Aosta's body.
Aosta struggled back, but did not break away from Lotgal's hand. The next moment, his flesh wings fanned towards Lotgard.
Rotgar tiptoed the ground, grabbed Aosta's hand, and swung it over his head with him as the center. Black flames condensed in the palm of his free right hand and hit Aosta's head.
Aosta's flesh wings turned to cover his head, and black flames exploded on the flesh wings. He roared, and while unfolding his flesh wings, he threw a stream of flames towards Rotgar with his other hand.
Rotgar twisted his body to avoid Aosta's attack, then clenched his fists and punched the opponent's arms, abdomen, back and other parts one after another. Every time he hit a punch, the black flames wrapped around his hands would seep into Aosta. Inside Star's body, only banging sounds and Aosta's screams were heard. Finally, Lotgard's knee struck Aosta hard in the abdomen, and Aosta flew backwards wrapped in black flames. go out.
Rotgar looked back at Anna, who was lying motionless on the ground, and frowned slightly.
Aosta and Aosta couldn't tell the difference for a while, but Anna had to be treated as soon as possible. But she asked him to save Natalie and Leon, but he couldn't take her away immediately.
Tsk, that’s really troublesome.
"Ahem..." Aosta stood up holding on to the wall. His body shook, and the flames surrounding him disappeared.
His eyes were still blood red, which was one of the demon's unique physical features, but the beast-like temperament was gone.
He looked around and saw Anna lying on the ground not far away, unaware of who was there, and his pupils shrank sharply.
He had no memory of what had just happened, but he could guess what happened.
He didn't want to implicate Anna, the only person who had been kind to him for so many years, so he left before the attack, but he didn't expect to hurt her.
"It seems that you are awake, Aosta." Rotgar saw this, carefully picked up Anna, and said to Aosta, "The people from the Holy See are coming soon. Do you plan to go on a killing spree, or go back to the devil world? ?”
If it was the former, he would be forced to take Natalie and Leon away first. If it was the latter, he wouldn't have to worry about those two people anymore, and humans would save them.
Aosta saw something from Lotgar's gentle movements towards Anna. Without revealing his acquaintance with Anna, he put away his flesh wings and walked past Lotgar without saying a word.
"Why are you here?" Rotgar suddenly asked.
Of course Aosta did not answer Lotgar's question. What exactly is the curse of the abyss is a secret of every demon. Unless the relationship is very good, it will not be revealed.
"Let me guess, you have periods of weakness every once in a while, right?" Rotgar suddenly sneered, "And this time, you are at Anna's place."
Rotgar was not just guessing out of thin air. He knew that there was someone hiding in Anna's room, and she had been hiding it from him. He still remembered that when he saw that figure, he had an instinctive disgust. At that time, he didn't have much thought. Thinking about it, the possibility of two demons coming to the same human city is too low.
But now that he saw Aosta, he understood the source of that disgust.
Every demon has a curse from the abyss, he has it, Balaam has it, and of course Aosta can't escape it. He remembered that every once in a while, Aosta would disappear for a few days, probably because of his weakness. In the demon world, it would be very dangerous for a Duke of the Abyss to enter the weak stage. Ordinary demon beasts could kill him. It is no wonder that he would escape to the human world.
"Anna took you in during this period, but you hurt her and her friends like this. What do you think she will do to you if you appear in front of Anna again?" Rotgar smiled maliciously, "She will be very I regret having taken you in, and I wish I could kill you to vent my anger."
Aosta glared at Rotgar angrily, his fists clenched at his sides, and his eyes seemed even redder.
But he didn't say anything more, kicked his feet to the ground, and left immediately.
Rotgar sneered. Now there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest. Anna had been living with Aosta during this period. They...
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
He looked at Leon and Natalie, and then walked out of the underground space with Anna in his arms. When he spread his flesh wings on the ground, the priest of the church had just arrived and watched him fluttering his wings in exclaim.
He quickly disappeared from their sight.
The priest led the priests into the underground and was shocked by the tragic scene underground.
In the corner filled with corpses of men in black robes, there was sudden movement. The priests gathered around vigilantly, only to see a girl with blood on her face sitting up from the corpse, looking around in horror.
"Evil, devil... devil!" She saw clearly that she was sitting among the corpses, like a shrimp thrown into boiling water. She jumped up with her back arched, slapping herself, as if to remove all the blood on her body. Get rid of it.
The priest recognized the girl: "Miss Grace?"
Hearing the priest's voice, Grace looked over suddenly, rushed over as if she saw a life-saving straw, and hugged the priest: "Help me, help me!"
Grace's eyes were crazy and her face was full of fear.
The priest sighed, and Miss Grace seemed to be frightened out of her mind.
What a terrible thing happened here
When Anna woke up, she felt as if her body was no longer her own, and her brain seemed like she could no longer direct her limbs.
Little by little, she remembered what happened before.
Oh, she already gave her soul to the devil, so is this what having a soul controlled feels like
but…
Anna looked at the bed cover made of white lace above her head, feeling the softness and silkiness under her body, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Is this an illusion
"You're awake!" A soft female voice beside him said in surprise.
Anna slowly turned her head and saw a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes standing next to her bed. Her skin was as smooth and fair as white porcelain, and her long sun-like hair was as eye-catching as a waterfall. Her emerald green hair was There seems to be a whole world hidden in his eyes.
Anna felt like she was seeing an angel.
She slowly spoke out: "Am I... not dead?"
"No." The angelic girl smiled softly, with a hint of shyness in her smile. "Your name is Anna, right? My name is Catherine. If you feel uncomfortable or want anything, you can tell me."
Anna was silent for a while and asked: "Where am I?"
Catherine said: "In the Demon Realm, in the castle of the Grand Duke of the Abyss."
It's really not surprising at all.
Anna wanted to sit up, but she didn't have the strength. Catherine saw this and quickly helped her up.
Anna lifted the quilt and looked at her right hand. The whole hand was almost smashed before, but now it was intact. She clenched her fist. Apart from being a little weak, there was no pain.
She looked at Catherine and said, "Can you tell me what happened from the beginning?"
Just as Catherine was about to speak, a slightly familiar frivolous voice came from the door: "Baby, let Lot speak for himself about this kind of thing."
Balan walked in from the door, held Catherine in his arms, and kissed her gently on the forehead. He looked at Anna again and saw that she was not surprised at all by his "resurrection from the dead". He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Anna, you actually knew this a long time ago."
Anna looked at Balan, then at Catherine who was holding him in his arms with a shy face, and smiled: "You invited me to your castle before, I thought you only invited me."
Balan's expression changed, and Catherine in his arms looked at Anna in surprise, as if wondering what her words meant. Balan quickly covered Catherine's ears, hugged her and walked out, turning back to glare at Anna.
Anna smiled as usual, showing no reaction to his threats.
She was already in this situation, so why did she need to worry about offending the devil
Balan coaxed Catherine out with gentle words. When he reached the door, he said dissatisfiedly: "Take care of your people!"
He and Catherine went out, and Lotgar entered.
Anna looked at the man coming in from the door, no, the devil, this was the first time she saw him not as a shadow. As he slowly walked towards her, the feeling of oppression he brought to her gradually increased.
She felt that her mental strength was still good at the moment, and she could feel the natural elements around her, but she couldn't bring up the idea of fighting him.
The gap in strength is too big, it's just asking for trouble.
Rotgar stood by the bed, looked at Anna condescendingly and sneered: "You really like to provoke."
Anna looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar demon in front of her, vaguely feeling that things might be different from what she guessed.
She didn't know what to say, so she asked what she cared about most before she fell into coma: "Are Natalie and Leon saved?"
Rotgar's face suddenly darkened. He never expected that the first words Anna said to him after waking up would be this.
He sat down directly on the edge of the bed, stared at Anna with a stern face and said, "When did you know that I was a devil?"
Ana also looked at him and said, "First tell me how Natalie and Leon are doing."
Rotgar stared at Anna coldly.
Anna also looked at him without any sign of weakness. She has even sold her soul, so what else is she afraid of
Seeing Anna's stubborn look and her clear eyes without fear, Rotgar turned away and said coldly: "When I took you away, the people from the church had already arrived."
Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It was okay that she couldn't escape the devil's hands after struggling for a long time. Natalie and Leon couldn't be implicated.
"Now tell me, when did you know?" Rotgar saw Anna's face moved by the news about Leon and Natalie. He was full of displeasure, and there was a bit of coldness in his tone.
Ana thought for a while and said truthfully: "I knew it from the beginning."
Rotgar frowned.
Anna added: "When you possessed Parrish I could see you inside him."
Hearing Anna's words, Rotgar's cold face cracked a little.
How was it possible, how could she see through his possession
He stared at Anna closely: "The Pope can't even see through my possession, why do you?"
Anna: "...I don't know either."
She guessed that the most likely reason was that she had traveled through time, but there was no need to say this, and the devil might not understand it.
Rotgar looked at Anna, his eyes cold because of the mixture of shame and anger, and asked: "So, you know that it is me all the time, and you just watch me act like this? Is it fun?"
Anna moved back uncomfortably, but behind was the head of the bed, so she could only hide away from Rotgar, but he suddenly grabbed her arm, preventing her from dodging, and scolded coldly: "answer me!"
Anna looked at the goat's horns so close, the pale face, the blood-red eyes, and the stern look in those eyes, and she truly felt the fear of her life being held in the hands of others.
She opened her mouth and whispered: "I'm just trying to protect myself. If you knew I could see you all the time, you would kill me."
Rotgar frowned slightly. If he had known that someone could see through his possession, he would have killed him.
He suddenly remembered what Anna said before she fell into coma, and asked: "What's the point of giving me your soul?"
Anna looked at him, as if confused and tempted: "You keep proposing to me, isn't it because as long as I agree and sign a contract, you can get my soul?"
Hearing Anna's answer, Rotgar showed a puzzled expression: "Where did you hear that?"
"... That's what everyone is talking about." Anna couldn't say it was the fairy tale book she read before she came here, so she could only say vaguely.
And Rotgar didn't care, because he was surrounded by absurd feelings at the moment. It turns out that Anna has been rejecting him for this strange reason all this time
How could Anna not understand that her perception was wrong at this time? Indeed, the devil's desire for human souls was a fairy tale in her world. In this other world, this inference cannot be necessarily established.
However, he keeps proposing to her out of nowhere, which is too suspicious!
"Why do you keep proposing to me?" she asked.
Rotgar glanced at Anna and didn't hide anything: "I made a bet with Balan that within half a year, a hundred human women would agree to my proposal."
Anna looked at Rotgar and said for a long time: "That's it?"
She almost had questions on her face, is the Grand Duke of Abyss so idle? Betting on something like this is such a waste of time!
She remembered something and asked, "If I had agreed when you proposed to me for the first time, would you have gone to find someone else?"
After Anna told her misunderstanding, Rotgar already understood that she had never intentionally fallen in front of the Parrish carriage the first time. Thinking of how she had watched him perform during this period, he felt a fire in his heart that he wanted to vent.
"Yes, but before that, I will torture you until you die." Rotgar lifted Anna's chin and looked directly at her with bright red eyes.
Ana clearly saw the malice in his eyes, and her whole body froze.
Then she was pretty lucky and made the right choice with wrong knowledge, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Not sure if Anna's fear pleased him, Rotgar let go of her, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and then said: "Now let's talk about Aosta."
"Aosta?" Anna was unfamiliar with this name.
Rotgar said: "The person you secretly hide in your residence."
Anna's heart tightened when she heard this, but then she thought that her fight with this devil was over, so what if he knew
"Oh, you are talking about Aip. He was picked up by me about two months ago and has been living at my place." Anna said this and thought of the scene when Aip transformed into a demon. His right arm seemed to Feeling the dull pain, she pursed her lips and smiled weakly, "It turns out he is also a devil."
"You can see me, but not him?" Rotgar said with a sarcastic smile.
Anna smiled: "Yeah, who knows why?"
Seeing Anna smiling lonely, Rotgar felt depressed in his heart, and he lowered his eyes: "Are you in love with him?"
Anna looked at him in surprise: "How is it possible? He just..."
She thought of what he looked like when he turned into a demon, took a deep breath and said, "He was thirteen or fourteen years old when he lived at my place." If she could fall in love with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, then she would What a pervert!
Rotgar said: "You mean, when he was with you, he looked completely human?"
"Yes, he had dark lines on his face when I picked him up. I thought he was a dark mage." Anna replied truthfully.
Rotgar then remembered the dark mage named Dibian.
He mocked: "You really like to pick on people."
Ana glanced at him without retorting. Anyway, she will definitely stop picking up people in the future, if she still has a future.
Anna was actually confused at this moment as to why she was in the demon world.
Logically speaking, after she agreed to marry the devil, as he said, he should have killed her, but he didn't seem to have any intention of doing it, and even healed her injuries. Moreover, he is very leisurely now and doesn't seem to be anxious about the bet at all.
She asked tentatively: "Don't you have to propose to another human woman? I won't be the last one, right?"
Rotgar intentionally or unintentionally grabbed a strand of Anna's long reddish-brown hair and groped it carefully in his hands. Touching her hair with his own body felt very different from using someone else's body.
It seems more delicate and smooth.
He replied casually: "You are the first one I look for. After Balaam met you, he changed the bet. I only need you to agree to it and I will win."
Anna glanced at Rotgar's hand playing with her hair, looked away as if she hadn't seen it, and asked cautiously: "So, you brought me to the Demon Realm to prove to Balan that you won the bet? "
She thought she was dead before, so she was a little disappointed when facing Balan, but after knowing the truth, of course she had to fight for a chance of survival for herself.
She still wants to go back to Black Cloud City, she has to continue taking exams! Even if it wasn't for the purpose of defeating the demon, learning spells was a very interesting thing in itself. Without the pressure of the demon, she would learn more easily and enjoy it more.
As soon as Anna finished speaking, she heard Lotgar sneer.
"That's not necessary."
Anna's heart skipped a beat, and she mustered up the courage to ask: "Then why did you bring me to the devil's world?"
She suddenly thought of the close relationship between the girl named Catherine and Balan. Catherine looked like an ordinary human being. How could she be with Balan in the demon world
She remembered the legend about the devil she had heard before, and the devil liked to kidnap beautiful girls. At that time, she still sneered in her heart, thinking that if the devil abducted beautiful girls, it was for their souls. But now she has been severely slapped in the face. The devil will really kidnap a beautiful girl just to sleep with her. Look at Balaam!
Now, there is a demon in front of her, and she can be considered a beautiful girl after all...
Thinking of that possibility, Anna was so nervous that her breathing slowed down.
Although the devil initially approached her for a bet, he had repeatedly failed against her, which inevitably led to some rebellious psychology, and he was unwilling to let her go even if he won the bet.
Otherwise, since he didn't need her to prove anything to Balan, why would he take her back to the demon world and treat her injuries
Anna didn't know what she would do if the devil tried to sleep with her.
She would definitely not be able to defeat him if she tried to fight him. People might not be willing to listen to him if he reasoned, and he might not stop if he pretended to be pitiful. She would not even be happy to commit suicide.
She has been through so many difficulties, how could she just give up her life like that!
And there is probably a demon who would not die even if he looked at her.
Seeing that the other party was frowning slightly because of his own problem, and seemed to be thinking, Anna quickly said: "Thank you for healing my injury, you are such a good... devil! Speaking of which, you won the bet with Balan, and so did I. That’s a little bit of credit, right? For the sake of such a little bit of credit, our previous grievances can be wiped out. Can you let me go back to the human world?”
"No." Rotgar refused simply. Seeing Anna's stiff expression, he suddenly felt very happy and chuckled twice, "Do you still remember your evaluation of the demon world?"
Anna remembered that in order to prevent the devil from taking her to the devil world, she said that she hated the devil world.
"Remember, I said that the devil world is really a mysterious place, frightening and awe-inspiring." Anna said seriously.
Rotgar did not expect that Anna could talk such nonsense. The smile on his face froze, and then he sneered: "So you like the demon world so much? It just so happens that I don't plan to send you back to the human world."
No, her apparently neutral comment turned sour when it came to his mouth!
Anna quickly said: "I don't like it that much, I still prefer the human world."
Rotgar stood up with a cold expression: "I will not send you back to the human world. If you are able, go back by yourself."
She doesn't even know what's going on in the demon world and the human world, so how can she go back on her own
Seeing that the devil was about to leave, Anna quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Rotgar lowered his head, Anna's pale and slender hands grasped his clothes, and veins burst out on her fingers due to the force.
He raised his head and met Anna's smiling eyes.
Anna suppressed all the tension in her heart and made her smile look impeccable. Now she can only retreat and fight with her last resort!
She chuckled and said: "You obviously don't need to take me back to the devil world, but you just did it... Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?"
Anna looked at Rotgar with a smile and wanted to put some pressure on him. Based on her familiarity with him in the past half year, she thought he was a very arrogant devil who looked down on humans. How could he fall in love with humans? Even if there is such a possibility, he cannot accept it. Of course, there is probably nothing wrong with sleeping on it as a plaything.
Moreover, after waking up, she realized that although he said he tortured her to death, he actually had no murderous intention towards her.
So she deliberately said this as a bet that he would doubt his motives for bringing her to the demon world, and that he would send her back to the human world in order to prevent what she said from happening.
After Anna finished speaking, Rotgar just looked at her steadily, showing no emotion at all.
Anna was a little nervous. Instead of being furious, could he at least be scornful and mocking? This makes her very scared. She is afraid that she has lost her temper. What if he suddenly admits that he is in love with her
-Wait, it seems that if this is the result, it will be more beneficial to her? but…
While Anna was thinking wildly, Rotgar broke the strange silence.
He reached out and grabbed Anna's fingers, pulling her hands off his clothes.
His movements were not heavy, and Ana did not insist on holding on to him, so she did not feel any pain.
Ana only felt that his hand was a little cold, but soon the part where the skin was touching started to feel a little warm.
Ana looked down at him still holding her hand, counting silently in her mind.
It wasn't until she counted to ten seconds that he let go of her and sneered: "Anna, what good are you thinking about? How could a demon fall in love with an inferior human being?" Just like he never thought Balan really loved Catherine.
He said with a cold face: "I am the Grand Duke of the Abyss. I don't need any reason for what I want to do. Just stay well!"
After saying that, he walked out and slammed the door.
Anna felt a little relaxed and a little sad when she heard the first half of the devil's words. She thought her judgment was correct.
Although the second half of his words seemed unreasonable, she thought it was just a tough talk on his part.
Maybe when he looks back and thinks about it carefully, he will realize that there is still a slight possibility of falling in love with her. So in order to prevent this from coming true, if he doesn't want to kill her, of course he has to send her back to the human world and keep her by his side. What to do if you are in love for a long time!
Ana moved and lay back. As soon as she pulled the quilt back, she suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of which, she still didn't seem to know the devil's name. He didn't say it himself, but Balaam seemed to have called him "Lot" just now. I wonder if she misheard the pronunciation.
Forget it, if he sends her back right away, she doesn't need to know.
Outside the door, Rotgar did not leave immediately.
He frowned and looked at his hands, a look of deep confusion and uneasiness on his face.
He had obviously used his own body back, so why did he still feel reluctant to let go when he held Anna's hand
