Chapter 406: The Face of the Great Master
[Hehehe... Dear guest... No, master... Your power is growing stronger day by day. Baphomet feels... very happy.]
When Li Muhan transformed into lightning and shuttled through the darkness of Tianhai City, tracking the wisp of black air, Bafmiel appeared silently beside him.
She still maintains the image of a girl with long hair, but this time it seems different.
After washing, her hair became smooth and shiny, and the unpleasant stench on her body disappeared, but the disheveled look still made him feel uncomfortable.
The demon hovered easily beside Li Muhan, and its speed was comparable to his thunder power.
It seems that what he said before was not false. Baphomet's speed is indeed worthy of being the best among demons.
[Look at this little toy...] The woman's slender fingers gently stroked the black bracelet on Li Muhan's wrist.
Even though its creator is human, I have to express my highest... hehehe... respect to that lovely girl. This thing... is simply a perfect work of art... It's the best amplifier for demons...
"Don't push me, I'm busy now."
Li Muhan responded expressionlessly, having no favorable feelings towards this demon.
The power of the raven was as elusive as a ghost. It disappeared before his eyes, making it impossible for him to catch it for a moment.
[Don't worry, don't worry... Master, Baphrodite understands the challenge you face. The governor of Huangquan, the messenger from the underworld... Hehehe... Baphrodite may be able to...]
"Can you help me find it?" Li Muhan turned his head and looked directly at Bafomei, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
[Hehehehe, then... I'm sorry... Master, please understand, even I, Baphomet, have moments of weakness... The raven of the underworld is extremely cunning. It escaped the pursuit of the underworld and wandered alone in the human world for thousands of years. Hehehehe, even an old man like me, Baphomet, cannot find its trace. But...]
The woman's fingers were as light as feathers. She slowly raised them and gently but irresistibly pinched Li Muhan's chin, forcing him to look directly into her eyes.
[But, old Baphomet knows you, knows that you... are a good person who respects life and is unwilling to kill innocent people...]
When he said this, Baphomet turned his head, stuck out his tongue and made a vomiting expression.
But she immediately turned around and resumed her flattering expression.
If you encounter the master of the raven... Old Baphomet has a suggestion...
......
Time goes back to the present.
In the lobby on the first floor of the abandoned building, Li Muhan has activated Baphomet's realm.
However, what he held in his hand at this moment was no longer repulsion, but a tough chain, tightly wrapped around his arm, as if telling of some unknown contract.
"...What do you want to do?" Zuo Xi seemed to have sensed the ominous aura behind him.
He turned around suddenly, still holding Yin Qi in his arms. After seeing Li Muhan's evil-like image, fear suddenly appeared in his pupils.
"No, I won't let you take anyone from Team 7!!"
Zuo Xi roared at Li Muhan like a madman.
"I know......"
The Soul-Eating Arbitrator's voice was extremely hoarse, and the chains wrapped around his arms moved without wind, making a creepy clanging sound.
"Zuo Xi..." The demon slowly raised its claws, and its sharp fingertips pointed directly at Zuo Xi, who was shrouded in fear.
"I will serve as the arbiter of your soul."
As he finished speaking, the pitch-black iron chain was as agile as a snake and broke free from the devil's hands in an instant. It wrapped around Zuo Xi's limbs as fast as lightning, hanging him high in the air, and he struggled helplessly.
His screams echoed in the eerie environment, filled with despair.
"No... No!! You have no right to judge us!! You lowly devil!! Do you even know who I am!?"
Zuo Xi's burnt face was twisted with anger, his skin bulging in pain, as if trying to break free from the body that bound him.
His eyes burned with hatred, a stark contrast to his disfigured face.
[...Old Baphomet certainly knows who you are.]
A female figure appeared silently beside Zuo Xi. Her fingers gently slid across his ugly face, and her voice was like a cold wind piercing through his bones:
[Face-Burning Ghost King...Face-Burning Great Bodhisattva...What majestic names! But...These titles have nothing to do with you, and you are nothing more than a failed imitation.]
"You damned demon! How dare you address me by my honorific title? I will tear you into pieces and leave you with eternal damnation!"
[Tsk tsk tsk...] The woman lifted Zuo Xi's face, and the chains tightened under her command.
A replica... a failed imitator... yet you are so arrogant... If it weren't for this human body and the raven soul within it, you wouldn't even be able to manifest... How pathetic...
"How dare you say such nonsense! How could we be replicas?!"
The woman's fingernails gently picked up a piece of debris from the severely burned cheek, and then put it into her mouth.
Li Muhan's stomach churned at the sight.
So fucking disgusting...
Ever since Baphomet moved into Li Muhan's body, he often received complaints from Hypnos because Baphomet lived in the temple next to Hypnos.
The God of Dreams complained that he was often awakened from his sleep by an indescribable disgusting smell. Li Muhan didn't believe it at first.
But one time when Hypnos forcibly dragged him to check on the ward, he happened to see the goat-headed monster gnawing on a huge live toad.
The toad was colorful and didn't seem to feel any pain when it was being eaten. Li Muhan vomited violently when he saw it.
Baphomet also enthusiastically invited Li Muhan and Hypnos to taste the toad together.
"Hehehe, this is the incarnation of the Old One, Byatis. It's very delicious... Master, dear neighbor, would you like to try it? Especially for you, dear neighbor, you sleep 20 hours a day. This incarnation of the god will be good for repairing your godhood, hehehe..."
I thought that after that experience, I wouldn't make a fuss about Baphomet's eating habits anymore, but now I see her eating the scraps from Zuo Xi's burned cheek.
vomit.......
The demon nearly vomited, and even the chains trembled slightly.
"I'm sorry... Hehehe, Master... Although it's a foolish replica... it does have a hint of Buddha's light... This taste is delicious..."
"Don't... fuck... do it... arbitration... start."
Li Muhan really couldn't help it, he suddenly gripped the chain tightly and then pulled it hard.
Zuo Xi's body was dragged to the ground by him. Under the pressure of such a huge force, Zuo Xi, with half of his face crazy and half of his face angry, could only kneel in front of the devil, bound by chains.
But just as the devil's judgment was about to come, the woman's hand came quietly and covered the back of Li Muhan's hand that was tightly grasping the chain.
[I'm sorry... Master, I interrupted you... Hehehe, but now... plans have changed. Old Baphomet... needs some of your grace...]
The demon slowly turned his head, his ghostly eyes fixed on Baphomet.
That's the downside of airborne demons.
Although he could give power to himself without reservation, the price he had to pay to obtain that power was much higher than using the power of Baal and Lucifer.
It’s not that Lao Ba and Lucifer are easy to bully, but they both need something from me. To put it nicely, this is a deal.
But his deal with Baphomet was over.
He couldn't unilaterally expel Baphomet from his body, so their deal seemed to have countless supplementary clauses.
Each use of power must be completed under the guidance of Bafomei, so no matter how powerful the Soul-Devouring Arbitration is, Li Muhan will not take it as the first choice in battle.
