As the two faced off, a clear yet eerie sound shattered the silence of the forest.
The toad raised its two webbed hind legs, covered its belly with its front webbed feet, opened its mouth wide, and let out a hoarse laugh:
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Dude, you're as funny to me as a cow that's lost in the winter and buried in the snow."
Its sound carried the reverberation of a demon and the low croaking of a toad.
Envy, upon seeing the toad before him, suddenly ignited a surge of rage.
Its nostrils were flaring rapidly, and its eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
"Greed, you traitor!"
It cried out angrily.
"Betrayal? Don't make me laugh, buddy."
"When have we demons ever kept our word?"
The toad wiggled its webbed feet, stuck out its long tongue, lowered its body, and kept turning over its tiny stomach, as if it were vomiting.
"Ugh, your self-delusional attitude disgusts me."
“I never said we were in cahoots.”
The demon of jealousy trembled with rage, and his breathing grew increasingly labored.
"You can't beat me, greedy one."
"Want to have a match with me?"
Upon hearing this, the toad retracted its tongue, placed its mucous-covered claws on its chin, and gently rubbed them together, as if considering something.
What you said seems to make a lot of sense.
Its two paws gently came together, as if it were clapping.
The next second, the grass nearby swayed.
The demon of jealousy suddenly smelled a pungent, spicy odor and its eyes widened immediately.
Because from the bushes to its right, a bright red, gelatinous crocodile suddenly appeared.
Almost simultaneously, a voice also rang out from the left.
At the same time, a small white dog emerged from the bushes.
Three different demons stared at the Envy Demon before them, and at that moment, the Envy Demon was covered in sweat.
But all he could do was glare angrily at the toad in front of him, cursing and swearing.
"You despicable, stinking toad!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I can't even call for help because I can't beat them?"
It laughed again, its laughter unrestrained.
"If you can't beat them, you can run away, right?"
Now, Niu Niu really felt a strong urge to run away.
Even without a host, it can still attempt to fight one of the demons one-on-one.
However, the current situation is three against one.
It can't beat them!
Seeing that the three demons in front of it had no intention of attacking, it slowly took a few steps back.
Finally, it turned around and ran at full speed using its powerful hind legs, uttering a harsh threat to the three demons behind it.
Just you wait!
"I will exterminate you all!"
Niu Niu ran and shouted, but suddenly it seemed like he bumped into something.
With a "thud," it plopped down on the ground, completely disoriented.
It used one hoof to support its head and shook itself as it gradually regained consciousness.
Niu Niu's eyes were full of doubt. It slowly raised its head and looked at the shadow in front of it.
In front of it stood a long sword on the snow, which was what it had just crashed into.
Niu Niu stared blankly ahead as the long knife was slowly pulled out.
The human-like body made it feel somewhat puzzled and uneasy.
Niu Niu squinted, trying to see more clearly.
A woman gradually emerged from the shadows, her pale skin covered with fine, smooth scales.
The snake's eyes, which had suddenly emerged from the shadows with a ghostly green light, contracted tightly as it stared intently at the envy demon before it.
Finally, Saphiros held the longsword horizontally behind her, and a completely emotionless voice entered Niu Niu's erect ears.
"[Target - The Demon of Envy]"
bite--
A crimson light flashed from Saphiros's narrowed pupils, leaving a hazy trail of light.
"Capture successful."
...
The cold wind howled, and the stars were obscured from the sky.
The higher you go, the more rampant the cold wind becomes.
At this moment, a woman wearing a pure white fox fur coat stood quietly on the edge of a majestic cliff.
Her bright yellow eyes gazed into the distance at the highest heavenly gate.
The crimson mechanical gate floated in the air, every inch of its metal frame slowly twisting, exuding an aura of sublimity and mystery.
That was the only creation left behind by the gods after they left.
Just then, she heard the sound of feet crunching through the snow behind her.
She didn't turn around, but calmly began to talk to herself.
"Just as the professor said, he even guessed the location where the demon was hiding."
"So, I believe he will definitely come back."
The swirling snowflakes landed on Hene's shoulder, leaving a white trail.
Hene lowered her head slightly, looking at the shoulders covered in snow.
However, her brows were lowered, making it impossible to see her eyes.
But soon, two streams of hot tears slid down her cheeks.
The warm tears stood out vividly in the cold air, eventually melting into the white snow.
She clutched her chest with one hand, revealing the intense pain in her heart.
Pain filled almost her entire mind.
"But why do I feel so uncomfortable..."
"I want to die."
Safiros stood at a distance from the mountainside, watching Heni on the cliff.
She neither approached nor spoke.
However, in this silence, she seemed to suddenly sense something.
He quickly raised his head and looked up at the sky covered by heavy snow.
As the snowflakes danced freely, a black crow silently swooped across the sky and landed on a bare branch beside the mountain.
Its single, deep, and jet-black eye was quietly gazing downwards.
Upon seeing the crow before her, Saphiros's eerie green eyes narrowed sharply.
She saw a hint of satisfaction in the black raven's single eye.
Finally, it flapped its wings and flew back into the sky.
It transformed into a thin stream of black light, flowing upstream against the wind and snow, and then disappeared.
As the crows flew away, Saphiros stood there, seemingly lost in thought, and did not lower her head for a long time.
Deep within those eerie green eyes, a mysterious, mechanical-style image appeared.

[Changed to: Vital signs unknown]
Because that's what the crow said.
It said:
'I will definitely bring him back.'
