Chapter 413: Chapter 230: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend!

In fact, when testing the moves of an unknown Advanced Demon, long‑range Magic is the best choice.

But because Raine had just cast the Sixth Ring Level Polar Ray, his Spiritual Power was greatly depleted, so at this moment he didn’t dare continue burning Spiritual Power on Magic.

Of course, Raine wasn’t reckless enough to charge straight into melee either.

What he planned to use was a Monster Skill of the Gray Dwarf Combat Priest— the thrown‑type Combat Skill "Hammer of Anger."

"Kill him!"

At this moment, Lilith, who had summoned the elite Enchanting Demon, pointed excitedly at Raine and shouted to the Enchanting Demon.

But the elite Enchanting Demon merely glanced at Lilith, then suddenly spoke in standard Common: "Offspring of Grazte, don’t use that commanding tone to give me orders."

This made Lilith’s previously excited expression freeze all at once!

This scene not only left the elite Black Fist Army a bit stunned, even the Kingdom side was somewhat surprised!

The Summoned Creature isn’t obeying orders?

Figures!

This is quite common among Advanced fiends.

Raine’s gaze swept back and forth between Lilith and the Enchanting Demon, and the throwing motion he’d been about to make was withdrawn.

However, Raine keenly noticed that Lilith’s red lips clearly moved twice, as if she wanted to say something, but then her expression eased, she said nothing, and instead gave Raine a very meaningful glance.

And right then—

A gentle, almost bewitching magnetic voice suddenly sounded by Raine’s ear.

"Don’t be nervous, mighty human Warrior. Though I was summoned by your opponent, we are not necessarily enemies."

"Compared to a weak summoner, I prefer a partner who wields great Power."

"Why don’t we work together to break this Realm of Light and Shadow, hmm?"

"Then you can calmly deal with your enemies, and I will have a much broader space to move in."

Hearing this, for a moment Raine inexplicably felt that it made perfect sense.

Yeah!

The other side may be a Demon, but it hadn’t obeyed its master’s summons to fight him.

So why should he still waste stamina and effort, and even risk losing the battle, to fight it?

If they joined forces to break this Realm of Light and Shadow, then killed Siegfried and foiled the Talin Association’s plot, wouldn’t that be better?

However...

Although those thoughts sounded very reasonable, Raine still felt that something was off.

Suddenly!

As if some invisible interference had been driven away, like morning mist melting under the rising sun, Raine shuddered and his eyes instantly cleared!

Benefiting from the Gray Dwarf Combat Priest’s Firm Will and the White Dragon’s Full Magic Resistance, Raine’s mind regained clarity far faster than a newly Transcendent Classes user.

He fixed his eyes on the scene.

At some point, the elite Enchanting Demon’s massive body had quietly moved forward more than half the distance.

From over twenty meters away before, it was now barely less than ten meters.

In fact, if the Enchanting Demon fully stretched out its giant pincers, the distance would be under eight meters.

In other words, had he awakened just a few seconds later, the enemy would already be close enough to launch a killing strike.

His gaze shifted.

It swept past those enormous pincers, each as long as a grown man is tall; it wasn’t hard to imagine that if it successfully ambushed him, he’d probably be snapped clean in half!

At the same time, Henry’s slightly anxious shout reached Raine’s ears:

"Raine! Snap out of it! That’s an Enchanting Demon, it has innate Spellcasting—whatever it says is a lie!"

"And don’t be fooled by its appearance. This thing commands multiple Magic like Charm Humans, Dark Magic, Flying Spell, Confusion Spell, and more."

...

Hearing this, realization dawned in Raine’s heart!

His gaze once more flicked to the Enchanting Demon’s tall, powerful body.

’No matter how you look at it, it seems like a melee‑type Demon, yet it’s actually in the same category as a succubus!’

’What it used just now was Charm Humans?’

’No, that felt more like a Fourth Level Spell—Confusion Spell!’

Raine nodded slightly toward Henry in thanks and instantly activated Spirit Barrier.

Seeing its bewitchment fail, a trace of confusion flashed through the elite Enchanting Demon’s relatively small, round eyes, but it immediately tried to say something again.

Yet there was no way Raine would fall for the same trick twice.

"Hah!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Raine’s right arm muscles bulged; his whole body was like a tightly wound spring. With a roar, the silver Warhammer in his hand shot out like a fired shell.

"Vmm!"

The rapidly spinning Counterattacker tore through the air’s resistance, letting out a high‑frequency buzzing hum!

The Enchanting Demon’s pupils contracted, and it instantly raised its right pincer to block in front of its face.

"Clang!!"

Even with the solid carapace guarding that giant pincer, the Enchanting Demon felt a stabbing, bone‑deep pain from this thrown hammer.

"Damn mortal, you will pay for your recklessness!"

Seeing its bewitchment fail, the over‑five‑meter‑tall Enchanting Demon suddenly leaped high like a grasshopper. Then, using the inertia of its several tons of mass, it stabbed down with its left pincer, over two meters long, straight at Raine!

Raine’s pupils shrank slightly; he hadn’t expected such a huge Demon to be this agile.

So agile it felt unreal!

Fortunately, he had experience fighting towering Frost Giants. Facing this strike, his Steel Boots pushed off to the side, his whole body doing a side roll as he slipped away.

"Boom!!"

With a meteor‑like impact, dirt sprayed out like bullets, pelting violently against the Shield Raine had raised to block.
