The deep darkness seemed to float like an abyss.
With fluctuations in aura and magic, a giant, eerie green python shot through the night sky like an arrow of light, piercing the darkness.
Each time the giant python launched an attack, it would leave behind illusory afterimages, transforming into several phantom heads that swept towards Rivi in unison. This time was no exception.
The giant python opened its ferocious and deep mouth, revealing an unusually prominent scarlet forked tongue.
Two sharp, sickle-like teeth seemed poised to devour Reeves' arm whole.
Bang!
A surge of azure magic erupted like a tidal wave, and intricate magic circles twisted and drew in the air.
Countless exquisite and complex runes converged at the edge of the magic circle, forming a mysterious totem.
Then, a jet of azure water, like a fountain, burst forth.
It transformed into a long spear, piercing the eerie green phantom flowing in the darkness.
Despite the complex magic circle piercing through layers of illusion, a physical entity suddenly emerged from the shattered void, heading straight for Rivi's face.
The next second, the python's massive jaws crushed Reeves's head.
But then, a cool, spring-like sensation rushed into its mouth.
[Second-Tier Magic: Water Clone]
Sensing something amiss, the demon's pupils constricted, and it quickly twitched its body backward.
The headless body of Rivi suddenly dispersed, turning into countless tiny streams of water that also retreated backward.
The crystalline water slowly regrouped, and Rivi reappeared in the hall closer to the entrance.
He stood there, panting, and even the magic array floating on his palms began to become extremely unstable.
The demon before them was significantly stronger than the others.
He is also the opponent who puts the most pressure on Riviera.
His gaze drifted to one side of the hall.
In the darkness, two demons lay piled on top of each other.
A dog with snot bubbles hanging from its nose is lying on a cow that is standing upright.
Their eyes were glazed over, and they looked like they were about to die; their previous ferocity had vanished without a trace.
After several hours of fierce fighting, Reeves finally defeated the two demons.
For him, the two demons, sloth and envy, were relatively easy to deal with.
Once the Sloth Demon is unable to absorb the corresponding Sloth Desire, it will soon fall into a deep sleep on its own, without any need for Levi to intervene.
And the demon of jealousy had no effect on him either.
The bull tried everything it could, even foaming at the mouth, but failed to arouse even a trace of jealousy in Levi's heart.
In terms of status, Rivi was the only duke in the Karencia Empire, with only one empress above him.
Moreover, that empress was the daughter of his sworn brother.
In terms of wealth, the antique shop that Levi owns alone brings in countless amounts of income.
The demon of jealousy usually incites jealousy in others by relying on three things: status, wealth, and love.
Therefore, it couldn't find anything that could make Levi jealous.
This means it cannot fight as continuously as the raging demons and greedy demons outside.
Whether it's the raging demons or the greedy demons outside, they can absorb the corresponding emotions and desires of the combatants.
For example, the Demon of Wrath absorbed Vladimir's anger, while the Demon of Greed absorbed Hera's greed.
That's why they've been able to continue fighting until now.
If Vladimir isn't angry, Hera isn't fighting with the intention of getting Viktor.
The situation may change drastically when facing these two demons.
Ultimately, it's because these demons didn't have suitable hosts.
When the long snake suddenly attacked, Levi flipped over and dodged the attack.
The chaotic, eerie green phantoms traversed the pitch-black space, all of which were blocked by the azure water screen released by Rivi.
Seeing that it could no longer inflict effective damage on Rivi, the python retracted its body.
Its tail remained tightly wrapped around Saphiros, refusing to stray from her no matter what.
Just like the demon before me.
It differs from other demons because it has found a suitable host.
Reeve had studied the nature of demons in depth.
Demons are attracted to humans who are perfectly compatible with them.
For example, the Sloth Demon will find the laziest person in the world and make a pact with them.
It makes the host lazier and secretly absorbs the other's desires in order to maintain its own existence.
Similarly, other demons also seek out humans who best fit their nature.
The world's most ill-tempered angry man, the world's most greedy man.
And the python in front of them, if Reeves's guess is correct...
Is it binge eating?
Revi recalled the scene from ten years ago, that night when Saphiros ate the flesh and blood of a monster raw.
However, Safiros remained unusually calm in the face of Revy, not responding to a single word.
But in the Duke of Reeves' view, this was undoubtedly the most appropriate explanation.
Of the seven primordial demons, only three are currently unknown.
Besides pride and lust, there is another demon that represents gluttony.
But he could see no arrogance in the woman before him, nor did he seem to have any connection with lust.
It seems that, apart from binge eating, she doesn't have any other obvious characteristics.
But even knowing what kind of demon it is doesn't seem to help much.
Reeve could sense that this demon was much more powerful than the others.
This is not only because she has a host, but more importantly...
