Chapter 76

Samuel had no interest in other people's greetings. He didn't want to stay when the succubus approached, but the kid held his sleeve, so he patiently waited for a while.

They had already asked on the way here. Raymond was a native demon of the abyss. More than 20 years ago, he took a shrinking potion and turned back into the appearance of a child. A group of powerful high-level demons worked together to temporarily open a small hole in the seal and sent him out. They used dark magic to hypnotize a couple who had lost their child to recognize him as their own son. Of course, they also hypnotized everyone nearby.

He lived patiently in the small town for many years, so that when he entered the Vatican, he would not have to worry about being investigated. It was well known that he had received the grace of the Vatican since he was a child and had always longed for such a sacred place. He had a clean and ordinary background and there was nothing suspicious about him!

Upon hearing this, Al couldn't help but praise the meticulous thinking of these demons. However, it was obvious that this action plan was not Raymond's idea. He couldn't be said to be stupid, but he was definitely not a smart and cautious person either.

I heard Raymond proudly say that he was chosen for this important task because his talent in swordsmanship was much higher than his talent in magic!

——

At this moment, the succubus was distracted by Raymond's rough voice, and her beautiful eyes, which always contained ambiguous feelings, rarely showed a bit of confusion.

Taking a closer look at the familiar face, Anita remembered that Raymond looked like his father, rough and fierce. This was one of the reasons why they chose Raymond to disguise himself as a human - an ordinary couple having an ordinary-looking son would definitely not arouse suspicion!

But when Raymond left, at least he was still a teenager. How come it's only been a short time?

Seeing the clear stupidity in the other person's eyes, which was completely different from Hank, the 500-year-old old man, Anita was sure of Raymond's identity.

"Oh~ dear Raymond, you have matured a lot! When did you come back? How did you get through the seal without our help?" Anita's eyes suddenly lit up, and she flapped her bat wings and quickly moved in front of Raymond: "Could it be that you have found a way to pass freely?!"

Raymond had been secretly thinking for three days about how to deal with these two hateful humans when he arrived in the Far West. When asked by an acquaintance, he immediately hid behind the succubus, pointed in the direction of Al and the others and shouted excitedly, betraying his former master without hesitation: "They are humans! Madam Anita, catch them quickly!"

"Especially since he is the Holy Son chosen by the God of Light himself!"

"That guy has a way to unlock the seal. We'll know after we torture him!"

Raymond spoke in a cheerful tone, as if he had already seen the scene of these two hateful humans showing weakness and asking for help from him.

El glanced at him dimly. They had known each other for such a long time, but he didn't care about our friendship at all? He had come to understand the ruthlessness of the demons.

Raymond didn't yell deliberately, but he got excited, and his voice was loud enough for the nearby demons to hear clearly!

What? There are humans in the abyss?!

A group of demons approached and formed a circle. Al didn't see much hostility. He and the aliens who looked obviously not human looked at each other. Both sides looked very ignorant with their eyes looking at them in a new way.

The demon with goat horns: "They are no different from the immature cubs of our tribe."

The pale-skinned undead: "The one with blue eyes looks like an outsider, and the one with black eyes looks like a child of the abyss."

The half-snake frowned: "Why is he double black..."

The scene seemed to freeze. After a moment, another bird-beaked plague doctor said firmly, "It must be a coincidence. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Anyway, he definitely has nothing to do with our god!"

Al kept silent, his brows softened, and he maintained a polite smile. In his mind, he secretly compared the image of this group of demons with the records of the Holy See.

Raymond was annoyed at their slowness in catching the enemy, so he quickly added fuel to the fire, "His hair wasn't this color before, but a few days ago, I don't know how he used some means to turn it black. Don't just stand there, everyone, they are from the Vatican!!"

Still no demon took action. Anyway, there were only two people on the other side, so there was no need to rush. Rather than arresting people for interrogation, they wanted to satisfy their curiosity first.

The succubus who came to talk first came closer, showing no hostility at all: "My beauty who is more charming than the moonlight, are you really the Son of Light?"

Because of Samuel's presence, Al was not afraid of his life being in danger, and the two of them would make a bigger fuss. Compared with what would happen later, his background was not important at all, so he admitted with a smile: "Yes, beautiful lady, as Raymond said, I am the son of light personally chosen by the God of Light."

There was an uproar all around!

Some demons have shown hostility, while others expressed confusion: "Two people dare to come to the Far West, are they crazy?!" If they were the Sword God or the God of Magic, they would still have a chance to escape, but they definitely do not have that kind of strength!

The human continued, "However, I have been blessed by the Lord of Darkness since I was a child, so I share the same faith as you all."

"I came here because the oracle told me that my companion, the dark mage, is qualified to enter the Dark Temple. So we ventured down here to open the temple. Before our god fully awakens, we need to clean up the Far West and do some small cleaning to show our respect."

Anyway, Samuel said that he didn't want to reveal his identity. He was fed up with those guys who didn't try to figure out what they wanted on their own and then prayed to God hoping for protection and miracles. So Al didn't reveal his identity, otherwise... Samuel might be begged by the entire demon clan to lead them to fight!

After he finished talking nonsense, no demon spoke for a while, but their eyes clearly expressed the meaning of "Can you talk a little more?"

Samuel turned his head and gave him a meaningful look. This kid always lied without thinking, and he didn't know how much of what he said before was just a lie.

Raymond's cheek muscles twitched several times, and he was the first to calm down, "Do you think we are stupid?!"

He looked at the other speechless demons on his left and right, "Are you just going to let this lackey of the God of Light continue to stand here and talk nonsense?" He had used blood and tears in the past three days to figure out that he was no match for these two people, so he could only urge them on. Damn it!

The silver-haired young man stood in the center of the line of sight and added calmly, "In fact, I suspected Raymond was from the Abyss a long time ago, so I intended to bring him into the Church. Unfortunately..." He shook his head, "He didn't even notice that his colleagues had dark talents, so he probably didn't find out anything else valuable."

Raymond, who was mocked as stupid, said: “…” Fuck!

Intellectually, the demons didn't believe a word of what this human said, but a thought popped up in their minds - what if? What if he was telling the truth?

Back in the Age of Gods, the two main gods of light and darkness had no obvious conflicts or hostility towards each other, but their subordinate races had always disliked each other, and their attitudes were similar to those of the present-day Church and the Abyss races.

But this Holy Son of Light...didn't show any disgust towards them at all, and was even gentler and more peaceful than their fellow tribesmen and friends!

Whether they are believers of our God is another matter, but the two men do not look stupid and would not hang out in the abyss for no reason. Could it be that they really came for the temple?

"How are you going to find the temple? Can you take me with you?" The succubus moved a little closer to the silver-haired young man. She slowly stretched out her hand with an ambiguous look in her eyes, so she didn't look dangerous at all.

Before Al could dodge, a big hand grabbed him by the back of his collar and took him to a certain god. He looked up in surprise, his eyes looking somewhat innocent.

Samuel was impatient after being surrounded for only a short while. "Have you had enough fun?"

The young man nodded slightly. After seeing several abyss races with his own eyes, his curiosity had been satisfied. "Let's go."

"Go——?" The half-snake man spat out his tongue grimly, and swept his long tail over, ready to torture the human first, and then force them to tell him how to unlock the seal. The other demons watched coldly and did not think that the half-snake man needed help.

Only the succubus cried out "ouch" in pain, worried that the rare beauty would be beaten to a point where she was no longer worthy of her eyes.

Al knew that the gods around him did not like to be offended and would punish those who were disrespectful, so he did not even raise his hands and waited for his gods to provide him with protection.

A small black tornado as tall as a person quickly gathered between the two sides. The long and colorful snake tail could not be retracted in time, and it disappeared directly after touching the tornado! No... it was swallowing!

The half-snake man's expression remained in doubt. Before he could make a sound, the demons present blinked an eye and he completely disappeared! Not even a trace of blood mist was left!

The demons gasped, and some even took a few steps back.

The tornado did not dissipate, it moved around recklessly. Because the leaked energy was not strong, some demons did not take it seriously and tried to control the dark elements within it... But when they touched the tornado, they realized how irresistible this force was. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret.

High-ranking demons who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years were casually trampled to death like ants, without any chance of struggle. Even after witnessing the disappearance of a dozen unlucky creatures, the rest of the demons still found it hard to believe - Oh my God, they must have been hit by a very high-level illusion magic!

Raymond was completely stunned. When the silver-haired young man smiled at him, the two-meter-tall man couldn't help but shiver.

Samuel led the little believer and walked straight in a certain direction without even glancing at the surroundings, and the magic dragon followed closely behind.

In the far west, black fog was rising and getting thicker. All the demons in this territory were looking around cautiously.

The first reaction of the demons who had never encountered El and his group was that someone was fighting around them. They were all wondering what kind of magic was used to control so many elements at once?

The demons who were stimulated by Samuel remembered... It was rumored that when the temple was still standing in the far west, this place was always in the vast black fog. Because the Lord of Darkness did not like other creatures to get close to His residence, the temple was always hidden in the thick fog that could not be dispelled, making it impossible for outsiders to identify the direction!

“Oh my god…”

Are they really here to open the temple?

He was half-believing and half-doubting, because the tornado was still randomly selecting "lucky people", and no demon dared to follow. In Samuel's eyes, these guys were all invaders of his territory, and they were so blind that they offended him, so he would not let them go easily.

It was quiet around him, and Al chatted with Samuel, "When I was fooling them just now, it seemed that some of the demons actually believed it. The Abyss race is quite simple."

"Your words are convincing."

Al raised an eyebrow at him, "Huh? Is what I made up so real?"

Of course this is not the reason. Samuel explained simply: "You have enough faith and already have a little divine power. How can lower creatures doubt what the gods say?" But it was only one point. It would not have much effect against a strong man who was much stronger than the kid.

Al gradually couldn't see the road ahead, but he could clearly hear the cursing around him, and then the sound suddenly disappeared. He knew what had happened without thinking.

It was not until today that he realized for the first time that Samuel had the same indifference as the other gods... But he still did not feel any fear, because his light magic was swallowed by the darkness and had no effect. He was worried about being hit by the passing demons, so he moved closer to Samuel.

Suddenly, the earth shook.
