Chapter 134 Lessons

"ah--!!!"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the hall, and the blood scabs gathered on Vivian's fingertips instantly dissipated into rusty blue smoke.

Bathed in the holy light, she was like a bat plunged into a brazier. Every inch of her skin was burning, and even emitting sizzling black smoke.

The pain cannot be described in words.

If the torture endured by ordinary undead or demons is the pain of ten million needles piercing through the skin and into the bone marrow, then what she, who is also an undead and a demon, endures is one hundred million needles piercing every neuron in her body.

The scorching light seemed to burn deep into the soul.

Vivian soon fell to the ground, unable to even scream. She could only open her mouth and wail silently, curling up into a ball and trying to make herself smaller.

The murderous and fierce look in her eyes had disappeared from her blood-red pupils, and all that was left was fear and begging for mercy.

Luo Yan looked at her expressionlessly. The holy light blooming on the tip of his staff was like a long sword held in the hands of an angel of judgment.

He had to admit, this was a bit weird.

After all, the one who was “roasted alive” was his half-sister.

However, precisely because of this, Luo Yan had no intention of letting up at all, but instead increased the power of the magic wand in his hand.

He had to teach her a profound lesson.

He wanted to carve fear into the depths of her soul.

Otherwise she will dare to do it again next time! "Soul Absorption!"

While controlling the holy light, Luo Yan activated the gold-level magic device given to him by Professor Lilith, and extracted the little magic power left in Vivian.

That seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Bathed in the holy light, black smoke no longer came out of her body, and no sound came out of her throat anymore.

So much so that even the fear and pleading look in those ruby-like eyes gradually dimmed.

According to the standards of human priests, the purification was successful. The girl curled up in the shadows was just an ordinary girl, and she no longer had the evil energy to do evil.

But if we go by the standards of hell...

She is not far from death.

Luo Yan stopped casting the holy light magic, took out a blue bottle from his arms, drank half of it, then handed it to the faded pupil and shook it.

"You want it?"

Those ruby-like eyes gradually glowed with a hint of light.

Driven by the instinct for survival, Vivian moved her head with all her might, a dry and hoarse sound came out of her throat, and her face, which she tried to raise, was full of desire.

"want……"

"The sound is too quiet. I can't hear it."

Luo Yan sneered, tilted the test tube in his hand slightly, and poured the blue liquid onto the ground in front of her.

Tick-tock——

At this moment, Vivian was no longer conscious and her vision was blurry. How could she care about her image as a young lady?

She was like a traveler who had fainted in the desert, with only a pool of spring water left in her eyes, which flashed through the darkness and fell on the scorched sand.

No--

Seeing that the spring water was about to disappear into the cracks of the dirty floor, she struggled to move her slender arms and legs, and threw herself on it desperately, licking the last bit of sweet spring water desperately, wanting to drink more before it disappeared.

However, before she could finish this task, a hand suddenly grabbed her neck and lifted her up from the ground.

Without giving her any chance to react, the hand pressed her against the cold granite wall and then buckled a silver collar around her neck.

Vivian, who had just regained a bit of consciousness and was about to recite a spell, was horrified to find that her sense of magic had been cut off.

Magic-suppressing collar!

She only needed to use a little force to tear that kind of thing apart, but at the moment she was so weak that she couldn't even lift her arms, and her toes couldn't reach the ground because she had no power to exert force.

At this time, she finally saw the man in front of her clearly.

At the same time, the memory of humiliation replayed in her mind like a slide show, and fear quickly filled her eyes.

That guy...

It's simply the devil! She bit her lip tightly and said in a trembling voice.

"What... did you do?"

With an elegant smile on his face, Luo Yan spoke in a pleasant voice.

"I've done everything I can. It's your turn now."

Vivian looked at him with horror, at this devil who pretended to be elegant and proper... She had never felt so disgusted by that gentleman's smile as she did today.

She struggled desperately, trying to kick him, but she couldn't reach anything.

She finally began to realize that not only the magic power in her body, but also her life force had been drained by some unknown force.

"Let me go..."

"I asked you to play a card, not to beg for mercy. Aren't you going to say goodbye to me forever? By the way, this outfit should be prepared for me, right?"

Looking at the rather childish funeral attire, Luo Yan laughed and sneered, exposing someone's hidden agenda.

Vivian's face flushed.

That was Hong Wen who was angry and embarrassed.

Unable to resist physically, she could only vent her anger through words.

"You, why do you know how to use Holy Light Magic?!"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"What's the problem? Isn't it common sense in Hell that the means justify the means?"

Vivian said through gritted teeth.

"You... you are clearly enjoying the protection of the Demon God, but you are secretly praying to Saint Sith..."

Luo Yan chuckled and said.

"Who says you have to pray to Saint Sith to use holy light? Have you ever prayed to the Demon God when you used blood magic? I don't think you have such a strong belief in the Demon God, otherwise you wouldn't have attempted to assassinate the Demon King."

"But... those who can use the Holy Light are... servants of Saint Sith..."

Looking at Vivian who was still stuttering while reciting the scriptures, Luo Yan gently tapped her lips with his magic wand, making a gesture to silence her.

"This matter is not important at all, my dear sister... Just like you said yourself, do you still care about duels and rules at this point?"

Holy spells were indeed not his area of ​​expertise, otherwise he wouldn't even need to recite the spells to assist in casting spells, like the bone spear.

Looking at Vivian whose face turned pale and blue, Luo Yan gently moved the wand away and continued speaking in the tone of telling a bedtime story.

"The ghost birds flying in the sky can't see this place at all. You must have made your move because of this. As for the goblins, not to mention that they are all hiding, it doesn't matter even if they saw us. No one cares about their testimony, not to mention that they are all mine. There is only one witness here, and that is you... my half-sister, the stupid ass who even prepared a coffin and mourning clothes."

Vivian looked at Luo Yan in horror.

The pretty face, which had just regained some color due to the red temperature, lost its color again, but there was still a hint of disbelief in the frightened eyes.

"You...are going to kill me?"

Luo Yan did not answer her question, but just smiled and said.

"No one will even know that I killed you, let alone that you died here."

"No, wait a minute..."

"What? You've even thought about murder, but you don't even have the awareness of being killed? Or do you think that killing someone outside the rules is like completing a homework assignment assigned by the professor, and you can just write down the answer and it's done?"

Luo Yan leaned closer and stared into her eyes, the smile on his face becoming more and more devilish.

He continued in a slow voice.

"Let me guess. You must have thought your plan was very thorough, and you even wrote it down in your diary with great pride. You thought you had successfully taken advantage of the personal grudge between the Dragun family and me, and that the whole plan was flawless. As long as I died, it would be an accident in the duel, and no one would know that it had anything to do with you. Everything would be fine... Am I right?"

Vivian's evasive look seemed to acknowledge this.

Luo Yan was not angry, but laughed instead, but his eyes gradually became cold.

"So there's nothing wrong with me saying you're a dumb ass."

"Why would the Dragun family hide this for you? To wait for you to become the head of the family more than a hundred years later and repay them a favor that they might not even remember? Not to mention that you still have a father in front of you. Before they can repay you for the favor, they must first bear your father's wrath."

Seeing Vivian's unacceptable expression, Luo Yan continued with a smile.

"Of course, maybe it's just like what you said, our father is a coward who doesn't care about the life and death of a bastard. But have you ever considered that I'm the Demon King? Even the Dragun family doesn't dare to kill me in a duel, do you think those mercenaries dare?"

"If I die accidentally, they will immediately push the blame on you and publicly admit that they cheated, and they did so under the threat of the future heir of the Colin family. They will even pretend to be generous and give me the victory... What does it matter anyway? Even if I win, I will be dead, and they will still get the Demon Lord Territory they really want, and no one will blame them. Only one person will bear all the responsibilities. Guess who that person is?"

Vivian's expression finally changed.

And it becomes pale.

Just as Luo Yan thought, this kid's growth trajectory was too smooth, so that her mind had formed a diode. She had never considered another situation at all, thinking that the whole world was operating according to the rules she imagined.

However, this is impossible.

Even someone with rich experience will still encounter various unexpected events that are beyond his plans, and these events are what truly test a leader's abilities.

"If I wasn't dead, like I am now, guess what I would do?"

"Kill me..." Vivian swallowed stubbornly and bluffed in a trembling voice, "But if you do this... the Colin family will not let you go. My grandfather will avenge me."

"Yeah?"

Luo Yan sneered and said, slightly tightening the hand that was pinching her neck, watching the terrified face twisted due to difficulty breathing.

"Then let me make a hypothesis. Suppose you are an ambitious illegitimate child, and you are attacked by the candidate for the heir of your family in an honorable duel...what would you do?"

Without waiting for Vivian's answer, he continued.

"I'll give you two ideas. You can just break that guy's neck and throw the body to the goblins, pretending nothing happened. This is the best strategy. The people in the arena won't know what happened in the castle, and it will save the Colin family's face. When the Dragun family comes back to clean up the mess, they will find the tattered body... Now it's their turn to worry about how to let the Colin family know about this matter in a decent way."

Vivian looked at him in horror, unable to imagine that the devil before her could come up with such a vicious idea.

Especially when she thought that the corpse might be herself, her ruby-like eyes became more terrified, like a fish pressed on a chopping board.

Although he was speaking in the voice of a third party, it was obvious that the person he was talking about - or the corpse - was herself!

"The Colin family eventually found out everything, but they didn't feel sorry for this stupid heir for even a second, because this idiot not only did a stupid thing, but also took the initiative to become a knife in the hands of the Dragun family, and messed up the stupid thing. As for you, you can pretend that you don't know that you are the illegitimate child of the Colin family at all, and you just crushed a vampire mercenary... In fact, if the stupid heir hadn't told you, you wouldn't have known it, right?"

"As for the second option, you can just break that guy's neck, pretending not to know his identity, and announce to the arena that the Dragun family committed a foul, automatically winning the game. And that so-called heir will become a shame to the Colin family, and a real shame. Compared to the first idea, this may not be very emotionally intelligent, and insulting your own family will do you no good, but it's enough to make you feel better, isn't it?"

Seeing Vivian's eyes filled with despair, Luo Yan smiled, and directly changed the third-person tone and continued speaking.

"In fact, there is a third option, which is to let you live and endure this humiliation based on the second option. Although it is troublesome for you to see me use holy light, there is actually no difference between the burning of holy light and the burning of fire, right?"

"You can't prove the holy light I used. I can say that it was an illusion you saw when you were dying, or even that you tried to use holy water on me but ended up shooting yourself in the foot. Besides, I'm the Demon King, and a winner who won fairly. Do you think people will believe me, or a cruel little devil?"

Luo Yan slightly loosened his left hand that was pinching her neck, and with his other hand, holding the magic wand, he touched the side of her pale neck.

"Don't... don't kill me... I... I'm your sister..."

"You finally remembered when you were about to die?"

"don't want……"

"Go to hell. The Colin family doesn't have an heir as naive as you. I'm not from your family at all. Your survival is the greatest blasphemy to the Colin family."

At the last second before sending her to see her great-grandmother, Luo Yan let go of her hand and watched her and the ridiculous mourning dress slide down the wall to the ground like a rag.

Vivian, with her knees on the ground, sobbed and coughed violently, covering her red neck with her hands, like a drowning person who had just been pulled ashore.

“Woo…”

She hadn't cried in more than ten years, but finally she burst into tears, and tears as big as beans fell on her knees one after another.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Looking at the little girl crying with tears in her eyes, Luo Yan did not feel any guilt at all.

He was not a man who was kind to women.

Not to mention he is the devil.

"Since we have the same father, you are lucky enough to survive. If you were an adventurer, you would have rotted in my dungeon. But I have to tell you, you won't be so lucky next time, because I will really kill you instead of just spanking you on my father's behalf."

"There is a secret passage leading to the outside in the basement of Black Wind Castle, behind a row of empty wine barrels. This is what the Padrich family told me. Although I can't use it, you can try it, or you have already thought of another way to leave here."

When he said this, Luo Yan paused for two seconds, his eyes fell on the collar around her neck and the red pinch marks.

He added another sentence at the end.

"You can remove the collar yourself. And if our father asks you where the wound on your neck came from, tell him that I healed it."

The three strategies of upper, middle and lower are prepared for ambitious illegitimate children.

Unfortunately, he has no interest in inheriting the Colin family. He just wants to live a carefree life in his own way.

So he chose the fourth option.

Just like he originally chose to go to the edge of hell to become a demon king.

Picking up the flag dropped by the goblin, Luo Yan walked out of the hall and directly cast an air spell to leap to the highest point of the ruins.

He had originally planned to look around to see if he could find some spoils, but now he no longer had the mood to do so.

Looking at the figure disappearing at the entrance of the hall, Vivian bit her pale lips tightly, and her red eyes were filled with tears.

There was fear, humiliation... and many other things that she couldn't even name.

In the past sixteen years, she had no doubt that she was the pride of the Colin family and a rising star in the future of Magic City.

After all, reaching the gold level at the age of sixteen is extremely rare even among high-level demons...

You know, many senior students and even graduates of the Demon City Higher Demon Academy are only at the peak of the silver level.

Even her respected grandfather, the right-hand man of the Demon God, the demigod-level Prince Caesar Colin, only reached the gold level at the age of eighteen! Even the military minister of the Demon God's cabinet affirmed her ability and talent, so who else had the right to deny her correctness?

Come to think of it, even the professors at the college didn't seem to dare to disobey her, and everyone she met spoke to her in an accommodating tone.

However, this guy, who was far inferior to her in strength, not only trampled on her sixteen years of pride and glory, but also threw her here like garbage.

The opposite of extreme self-conceit is extreme self-denial. Vivian even began to doubt that perhaps she was actually nothing, but was just put in a high position by a group of people who doted on her.

Maybe she wasn't the most suitable heir at all, but just happened to be the first born.

Otherwise, why couldn't he defeat a silver-level necromancer when he was clearly a gold-level vampire? Even after getting beaten up, he didn't fully understand what tricks the other party used.

Maybe she is not even as good as her weak brother...

At least Nanfu had rationally advised her not to provoke that big brother, but she just used the authority of an elder to shut him up and didn't listen to what he said seriously at all.

The final result was beyond her expectations. The blood servant who swore allegiance to her died in the bombardment before the war without even seeing the face of the demon king. And she was treated like a child when she personally took action, and she didn't even touch a hair of the other party.

Just as her eldest brother said.

She almost died.

Or if anyone else stood in the same position as him, as long as that person's ambition was a little more than human touch, she would have become a sacrifice in the power struggle...

…

The flag of the Great Necropolis fluttered over Black Wind Castle, announcing the victory of the red attackers.

Luo Yan stood gracefully on the teleportation array and returned to the arena in the Magic City with a group of triumphant goblins, where he was greeted with overwhelming applause and praise.

After watching such an exciting fireworks display, even those who lost money would accept their loss sincerely and would not be able to say anything too vicious.

Leading a group of goblins to capture such a dangerous fortress...

If it were on a real battlefield, this battle would definitely go down in history!

In fact, the vision of these ordinary demons is still too narrow.

Even if this was just a duel between nobles, the siege method that subverted the cognition of most demons also had the potential to be recorded in history.

From now on, not only diamond-level and above demons will have the ability to destroy fortresses, but a group of powerless goblins can do the same.

Before this, the concept of artillery, whether in hell or in the cognition of humans on the surface, was just a support force on the battlefield, far from being the main force.

Although he was filled with resentment and his eyes were about to spit fire, Kamu Dragun, who was sitting in the VIP box, had to accept such an outcome.

It's not over yet with Shino Dragun.

Yet even if that guy wins, the best outcome is a respectable draw.

After the draw, the scores were calculated, and despite the huge score difference, Luo Yan still won the game in the end.

There is no doubt about this.

At most, it would sound better to the Dragun family.

Just when Kamu was thinking seriously about the aftermath, he suddenly remembered that the eldest daughter of the Colin family seemed to still be in the castle.

Looking at Luo Yan standing in the arena and receiving cheers and applause, he didn't look like he had experienced a great battle. At most, he just regretted not finding any valuable spoils.

Kamu's face turned slightly pale, and a terrible possibility emerged in his mind.

Did the little devil die in the bombardment? This time he was really panicked. He hurriedly got up and left the VIP box, went all the way to the outside of the arena, and summoned his own familiar.

That's an owl.

Without waiting for the owl to land on his shoulder, he grabbed the guy's belly and caught it in front of him like a balloon.

"Go tell Sano, the leader of the Crown of Malice mercenary group! Ask him to check if the coffins in the hall are still there! If anyone is still alive, make sure they are safe!"

If the little girl died, it would undoubtedly be the worst outcome for the Dragun family.

No matter how much he argued that it was Vivian's coercion and inducement, he could not escape the wrath of the Colin family.

But who could have imagined that things would turn out like this?

No one would have thought that the devil actually had such a hidden card, and took out a bunch of scary things from his crotch...

Until now, Kamu still hadn't figured out what that thing was! While the current head of the Dragun family was busy asking about the whereabouts of the eldest daughter of the Colin family, Luo Yan, who had accepted the cheers from the crowd, had already retreated from the arena to the backstage.

The demons who were watching the battle left their seats satisfied.

There were also some demons who were unwilling to see the end and wanted to wait until the blue team was decided before leaving. However, the winner had already been decided. Even if the blue team successfully captured the fortress on the fifth floor of the maze, the final result would not change. It was just that it would be less embarrassing to tell others about it.

By the way, the cube cone suspended in the center of the arena will remain there for twenty-four hours until it is interrupted tomorrow morning.

When the time is up, the game will be transferred to the small screen indoors, and the video will be provided to various taverns for broadcast, as an explanation to the demons who are curious about the subsequent results.

Watching Luo Yan walk from the arena to the backstage, Mia, who was waiting in the lounge, excitedly rushed over, hugged him and cheered.

This hug caught Luo Yan off guard.

The main reason was that he didn't think this duel was difficult. In fact, the eighteen roasted whole lambs were a little more challenging for him.

Maybe it's because the host created a good atmosphere.

As if she felt that her behavior was a bit ambiguous, Mia took a step back with a red face, coughed and said.

"What took you so long in the castle?"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"I wanted to search for spoils, but I found nothing."

Mia suddenly sniffed and said suspiciously.

"Wait, it smells like a woman."

Luo Yan was speechless.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Mia glared at him unhappily.

"What? I'm concerned about you! Do you know how worried I am? Challenging the Dragun family with a group of goblins... you're really thinking of that."

Luo Yan looked at the angry Mia strangely.

This guy got the wrong number.

Or the account was taken over by someone else.

He always felt uncomfortable when he didn't hear the familiar "Hehehe".

Just when he was about to say something, "Pa pa pa" applause suddenly came from the door of the lounge.

Luo Yan turned around and saw an acquaintance standing at the door, with an expression of surprise on his face.

"Principal Irwin? What brings you here?"

This justice was one of the people he planned to visit when he took leave to return to the Magic City!

Or a lich.

However, compared to his surprise at Principal Ivan, Mia seemed more surprised at the old man standing next to Principal Ivan.

That angular face with a majestic look without even being angry has the appearance of a king, and the handsomeness between his brows is somewhat similar to him... I guess he was also a suave hero when he was young.

Luo Yan was just about to get to know her, but Mia called out first.

"Prince Colin?!"
