After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter 127 Vereesa: I'm one of us!

"No...no...don't come any closer...please stop..."

The cultist, whose clothes were already tattered, said this as he braced himself on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face, trying desperately to get away from Yinla... while his companions had vanished.

The original large number of believers has now dwindled to only three or four... Many more believers have disappeared without a trace, their bodies vanishing completely, as if they left no mark on the world.

The three or four people had also fallen into unconsciousness and lay down in front of the lich. Every time the lich named Vera reached out and placed her hand on one of their heads, that person would be awakened by the excruciating pain transmitted through their soul, and then die in despair, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Satan Ye recalled the scene of Vera touching her head and felt a little scared... but she didn't think Vera would do anything to her.

...

Yinla showed no mercy to the screaming cultist. He looked at Vera, who was shaking her head, and realized that these soldiers knew nothing, so he decisively took action.

"Third Wing Pillar - Fire Mage - Wingspan!"

With those casual words, the crimson giant wings that had burst into flames on Yinla's back suddenly vanished, replaced by wings that were still burning... Although they weren't small, compared to what they had just been, they inexplicably felt petty.

"Ahhhhhh... I... I want to hold your hand..."

As Yinla attacked with fire, the cultist who had begun to wail in pain stopped pleading and instead became resolute. Countless glowing cracks appeared on his body as he lunged at Yinla.

"bump!"

However, Yinla kicked him away with ease, sending him flying directly to the church entrance. He then exploded into scalding flesh and blood, blasting a large hole in the main gate of the Flame Demon Church.

Of course, the area around the Flame Worshiping Demon Cult is not only populated by its followers. After the two sides cooperated, it seems that members of both the White Wing Cult and the Flame Worshiping Demon Cult gathered here to besiege and kill Yinla.

However, it was resolved very easily.

"..."

After the church was blasted open, through the large hole, Ira could easily see five people standing there... three wearing rather luxurious red cloaks, two men and one woman; and two wearing more exquisite but seemingly more sturdy white armor, one man and one woman.

Just now, even after all the cultists outside were killed, they didn't directly join the battle... Was there some consideration? Was there some scheme? No, probably not. It's just that for them, the deaths of those people were insignificant.

It's easier for them to fight if they're all dead.

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence.

“Illa…Illa Elkaras, you really have no dignity as a legend.”

The woman in the red robe, sipping her tea calmly, commented, "At least I wouldn't do something like taking my anger out on those mortals without saying a word."

She seemed to be referring to Yinla's previous direct action.

That statement isn't wrong, after all, no one could have guessed that Yinla would act so unpredictably. Logically speaking, as a legend, she should have an arrogant air about her.

It's the attitude of "Even if it's a trap, what harm is there in stepping into it?"... This is the norm for legends.

Generally speaking, Yinla would talk to them slowly and leisurely, then be shocked to see five legends trying to ambush him, but be stopped when he tried to run away... That's how it should be.

At least that's what the five of them thought.

"A mortal? Hmm..."

Yinla repeated this, then recalled for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, replying, "Those half-legendary figures and archmages, are they all just mortals in your eyes?"

The five people didn't speak, but their eyes clearly told Yinla that yes, that's what they thought.

This is ridiculous. Professionals calling ordinary people "ordinary people" isn't a sign of disdain or indifference; but when outsiders call professionals "ordinary people," it's an arrogance born of unparalleled strength... But do these so-called "legends" also treat those below the legendary level as ordinary people?

This so-called "legendary" title is just a title... probably given by a mortal.

Yinla thought to himself with a nonchalant expression. After confirming that there were no other ambushes around, he replied, "Well then, I've arrived as promised, and I've dealt with the beast tide... What about the reward? Shouldn't you tell me about the underground Demon King's city by now?"

Beast tide? What beast tide? That's blatant lying.

Vera and Satan couldn't help but laugh, but their eyes were very serious. Vera was even secretly chanting a spell, and Satan was also ready for battle... Sitting inside the church were five genuine legends.

But this blatant lie was so funny that even the two male White Knights couldn't help but laugh. He simply stood up, and his four companions also stood up. He asked, "I admire you. Your resolve before you died was beautiful."

"..."

"Ah...yes, thank you for your appreciation."

As he said this, Yinla nodded and thanked them. He stared with dead fish eyes, his gaze sweeping over the five approaching people. He asked, "So, can't you at least let me die knowing why? Why did you set a trap for me?"

Yes, if Yinla is only a legend, then facing an attack from multiple legends... or even just three legends, he would be doomed. He would be worn down to death.
