Chapter 86
Su Xingyuan was not in a hurry to take action.
He hid in the shadows without saying a word, like a sculpture, watching Ennis walk towards the production line with cold eyes.
The man casually picked up a bottle of medicine from the production line.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the rows of stacked potions. The number he could see alone was probably over a thousand.
A top-level pharmacist, such as Leafa, would never be able to produce so many potions in a short period of time - both the raw materials and the pharmacist's energy are extremely limited.
The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes slightly and looked closely at the potion closest to him.
[Name: Potential Stimulating Potion]
[Description: It is made from the energy extracted from the corpses of monsters and magic cores. After taking it, it can make people fall into a state of slow demonization, improving their abilities in a short period of time.]
【Note: Addictive】
Su Xingyuan's gaze paused at the line "addictive".
As early as when he met the pharmacist who wanted to help J country cheat at the Hunter Exchange Conference, he realized that since the Demon City was behind this, they might have taken away the potion formula that could enhance hunters' abilities in a short period of time.
Leaving the pharmacist behind was just a sacrifice to cause trouble for Country C.
And now, this so-called "potential development potion" is obviously an improved version of the potion that forcibly improves one's ability in a short period of time.
He instantly connected all of Ennis's calculations -
This potion not only turns the hunter's body into a demon, it is also addictive... What if Xu Bangmeng promotes it all over the world?
It will be easy for the Demon King's City to control humans.
Even if Xu Banmeng noticed something, there was nothing he could do. It was likely that the drinking water in this country had been soaked in this drug. It was just a matter of dosage. Once she became addicted, it would be much easier to control her.
Su Xingyuan couldn't help but admire him.
As expected of the villain in the game, although some of his behaviors are quite low, he is a good candidate for causing troubles. He is even very innovative and can even come up with such a weird medicine.
Ennis looked at his potion with a smug look on his face, but he did not take it himself. Instead, he walked quickly to the dragon ball, held it tightly, and began to inject magic power into it.
At the same time, the man lifted up his heavy clothes, revealing his arms that were hidden inside.
——I saw that the arm was covered with densely packed black and purple magic patterns, going upwards, and even showing a tendency to crawl towards his heart and neck.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he increased the amount of magic power input.
It was as if magic power became the bridge connecting the dragon ball and his body. The pure magic power on the dragon ball began to flow along his arms to his body, and slowly suppressed the magic patterns that were about to bulge out.
The dark purple magic pattern turned into light purple. Although it was still very conspicuous, looking at Ennis's expression, he was obviously feeling much better.
"Damn it... Even if I leave the spirit beads here day and night, the side effects of these potions are still so strong."
But it was impossible for him to reveal the secret of the potion and the existence of the dragon balls. He knew very well that no one else could know about this, otherwise, the fate that awaited him would be dire.
Ennis's expression changed again and again: "Forget it... Those guys are not important anyway, so what if I burn my life to contribute to the Demon King's City--"
"Yeah?"
A chuckle suddenly came from behind.
"who!"
Ennis was startled and quickly turned around, looking vigilantly towards the place where the sound came from.
...How could there be anyone else here besides him?
Clearly, no one was following him when he came in, and he didn't have anything on him that could be tracked!
Who is this guy? !
Ennis was very clear about his own capabilities. He forced himself to suppress his horrified expression and calm himself down.
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, there is only surveillance camera at the door. His position happens to be in the blind spot of the surveillance camera. Even if he wants to ask for help, there is no way. He can only find an opportunity to press the emergency button on the wall next to him.
The uninvited guest who had just spoken also slowly walked out of the darkness.
One step, two steps.
The pitch-black robe was stained with blood from who knows when, and the hem looked like it had been burned by flames. It swayed slightly as the uninvited guest walked forward. The irregular edges inexplicably reminded Enis of tangled tentacles.
Finally, the man in black robe was completely exposed to Ennis's sight.
At this moment, Ennis's body shook violently.
...Is it an illusion?
Why did he always feel that the closer the other person got, the more dizzy his brain became, as if it was being pierced by dense needles, and he even had trouble standing normally.
What's even more terrifying is that Ennis found that his knees were weak.
——He actually wanted to kneel down to the uninvited guest in front of him!
"What on earth are you——"
"Don't you already know clearly?"
"Ennis, a member of the Demon King's City, my...believer."
A voice with a faint smile interrupted him neither lightly nor heavily.
Ennis's expression changed instantly.
The magic pattern that had just been pressed down on his arm seemed to sense something horrible and began to twist violently, even bulging suddenly, as if it wanted to drill out of the flesh and escape from his body.
It was at this moment that he could no longer hold back his instinctive reaction that came almost from the depths of his soul, and he knelt heavily.
"Bang!"
One knee dropped to the ground, then the other.
Ennis's face was pale. He had not made any mistake in his two moves just now. Now his knees were aching.
But he didn't dare to resist or get angry again.
The man in black robe said...his followers.
His followers.
Ennis didn't dare to think about what this meant. He stammered for a long time before uttering, "Demon... Lord Demon... Why are you here?"
"Hmm? Can't I come?"
The footsteps gradually approached. The voice was so nonchalant and superior. It seemed to have no other emotions, nor did it reveal the slightest murderous intent. However, Ennis's body instinct made him feel extremely frightened the moment he heard the words again.
He could not imagine any other possibility except that the demon king he once swore to have such power.
This was not a spiritual confusion or illusion, but a tremor that he could clearly feel from the depths of his soul.
The man in black robe stretched out his hand and lifted the man's chin with his knuckles. His fingers were cold and Ennis shivered uncontrollably again. Then he smiled and said as if he had seen something funny:
"If I hadn't come, how would I have known that you were so 'loyal' to me?"
Ennis' pupils shrank and he immediately felt something was wrong. He wanted to refute, but the words had already risen to his throat and got stuck there, and in the end no sound came out.
"You said that those who join the Demon King's City should be prepared to die. Does that include you, Ennis?"
The fingers lightly fell on his neck, and then suddenly pinched!
In just a moment, a huge and terrifying murderous intent instantly spread from the black-robed man who had been whispering in front of him. The condensed maliciousness almost filled the entire warehouse, making it hard to breathe.
The cold hand slowly tightened, and Ennis made an uncontrollable "ho ho" sound. His face had turned purple, but he did not dare to make any resistance.
Because in his eyes that were constantly expanding and contracting and full of fear, he suddenly saw the illusory, surging corpses and hell behind the man in black robes!
He almost thought he was hallucinating, but when the skeletal hand was about to touch his cheek, he suddenly came to his senses.
...No, it's not an illusion!
Countless monsters and corpses squeezed out from the space crack behind the black-robed man like a blooming flower, as if evil ghosts were crawling towards the human world, or as if...
The rotten throne behind the black-robed man.
Even in such a situation, the man in black robe still did not react at all, as if he had already gotten used to it, and his calmness was frightening.
If he is not the king of hell, who else could be worthy of making so many hell creatures submit to him?
Ennis completely believed the identity of the man in black robe.
He almost cried out in pain: "Master Demon... spare me, Master Demon, I don't want to go to hell, I don't want to go to hell! I am indeed using the Demon King to benefit myself, I want to be the best, I want to stand at the top of the pyramid, my purpose is not pure... but I have done so much for you, so much!"
"I don't want to die... I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future, please forgive me...!"
When people are about to die, they have the instinct to survive. Enis proved himself incoherently, trying to make the man in black put away his evil thoughts.
But the man in black robe just smiled and said:
"But it would be fun to kill you."
The tone was light, but the murderous intent remained.
Ennis: “……!!”
Hearing such blunt words, his mind went blank and he felt suffocated.
At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the past.
...Which demon king did he swear allegiance to at that time? !
How come among so many ambitious demon kings, he chose this king who is only afraid of chaos in the world and is willing to destroy his subordinates' plans to satisfy his evil thoughts? !
If he had known that the devil would come again, he would have chosen one carefully!
Ennis regretted madly that he had made a wrong contract with the Demon King, but he forgot that cooperating with the Demon King was tantamount to courting disaster.
Do they really think that if they pledge allegiance to the devil, he won’t kill them?
As the saying goes, living with a king is like living with a tiger. The hell-born are more capricious than the king and are more fond of killing and chaos.
The man in black robe seemed to think it was meaningless. He loosened his hand, straightened up again, and looked at Ennis kneeling on the ground and coughing wildly as if he were a toy.
He didn't give the other party time to breathe, but said: "Want to beg for mercy? It's very simple."
"Give me the Dragon Ball in person."
Ennis's back stiffened instantly.
Without the Dragon Balls to suppress the progress of demonization, all his men would be transformed into demons within a month!
By then he won't be able to control them at all!
But compared to life, what does this mean?
Enis picked up the dragon ball with trembling hands and handed it to the man in black robe personally.
The man in black robe picked it up carelessly. Compared with Ennis's cautious movements, his movements were like holding a glass bead. Not only was he not careful at all, he even said, "I thought there was something different. What a bummer."
Ennis instantly realized that the man in black robe had more than one so-called "dragon ball".
...Then why do you still want to steal your own things?
Ennis' hope was rekindled. What if the man in black found it boring and returned the dragon ball to him?
However, the next moment, the man in black robe threw the dragon ball into his pocket very naturally, with great skill, as if it was a matter of course that he took advantage of his opportunity to steal.
"It's not a good night."
He drawled, with a hint of pity in his tone.
Ennis knew that this was because the Dragon Balls did not meet his expectations, so the Demon King... also decided to withdraw his mercy.
He waited for the devil's final judgment with fear in his heart.
However, the man in black robe changed the subject, smiled softly, and said softly:
"Just this once."
"The next time we meet, it will be your death, my dear believer."
The next moment, the man in black robe fell backwards and sank into the teleportation gap full of monsters.
