Chapter 888: Chapter 623: Better to Come at the Right Time than to Come Early_3

".........."

This was definitely not a mage.

"Ah...I really didn’t expect there to be an outsider here."

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked up to follow the sound. In a nearby array, a devil stood with its eyes squinted, gazing at them and revealing a sinister smile.

"It’s a devil!"

Seeing the devil, Luganis immediately tensed up, while the devil looked at them and chuckled.

"Hello, mortals. It seems that because of your arrival, these foolish dunces won’t be able to complete the ritual. How about we make a trade?"

"A trade?"

"Yes, there is a Black Magic Book in the room inside. Help me complete this ritual, and in turn, I will give you a little something in return....."

"They were summoning a devil, but the ritual hasn’t been completed."

Luganis then hurriedly spoke in a low voice to the others; even though she wasn’t a curse-magic type of mage, things like making contracts with devils were considered part of a mage’s compulsory education, which Luganis was of course well aware of.

"Now the ritual is stuck at the last step. Originally, they should have made a contract for the devil to obey their commands. But because Mr. Duanmu killed the ritual’s performer, now this devil has no means to contract."

"So what do we do?"

"I can try to take that magic book and banish it from this world."

"......Let’s do that!"

Upon hearing Luganis’ words, Amelia nodded.

"Banish this evil devil from the prime material plane, send it back to hell!"

"No."

However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly interjected.

"It can’t be allowed to leave."

"Why not?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Amelia was greatly surprised and looked towards Duanmu Huai.

"Could it be you want to make a contract with the devil?"

"Of course not...didn’t you look at its body?"

"Body??"

Amelia frowned in confusion and turned her head to scrutinize the devil within, and that’s when she noticed the devil’s body also seemed to have blisters and signs of rot.....

"Wait, are you saying......"

"It has been infected with the plague. We can’t let it leave. If by chance it gets back to hell, and the plague spreads, we won’t know how many devils there might get infected."

"But, that’s none of our concern, right?"

Luganis frowned, realizing that if this plague could infect devils, it must be very severe, but even if the plague spread through Barto Hell, what did that have to do with them?

And Duanmu Huai just gave her a meaningful look.

"Don’t you mages love to summon devils? Aren’t you afraid you’ll summon a sick one?"

"Hiss——————!"

At these words, Luganis instantly went pale.

Indeed, as Duanmu Huai mentioned, mages often summoned low-level devils to serve as their minions. If this devil returned to Barto Hell, infected the devils there, and then mages summoned one of those infected devils back to this world without any knowledge of the plague...

Good grief, it would be an epidemic all over again. With the prevalence of mages in this world, it would become a widespread disaster!

"Then what should we do?"

"Simple, let it stay, and then......I’ll take it down!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s decision, Luganis was taken aback.

"This is no low-level Devil, are you sure you can handle it?"

"Of course, let’s get started."

"...Alright then."

Since Duanmu Huai had made up his mind, Amelia had no objections—as a Sacred Knight, she certainly wouldn’t let a Devil or Demon get away. Luganis had no choice but to enter the study, find the Black Magic Book, and then place it on the altar.

"...I swear in the name of blasphemy..."

Whispering the Spell, Luganis raised her hands, tracing strange symbols in the air.

"Release the shackles binding this body, let it regain freedom!"

As Luganis’s words fell, the next moment, the column of light that had bound the Devil instantly vanished, and the Devil itself suddenly spread its fangs and claws.

"Ah, I really didn’t expect you to set me free! Wonderful, the air of freedom... and there’s a Sacred Knight here... I am very grateful to you, so what kind of reward would you like?"

"Ogis!"

Duanmu Huai couldn’t be bothered to chat with the Devil before him. The moment the binding was lifted, and the barrier disappeared, he immediately shouted. Then Ogis raised her hands, and the Devil felt its limbs tighten, suddenly bound by invisible fetters. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai raised his War Hammer and charged at the Devil!

"Foolish mortals!"

However, faced with the sudden attack, the Devil was not at all surprised.

"Your actions are meaningless, you cannot kill me!"

"That’s true, Subspace Creatures are hard to kill, but..."

Mid-sentence, Duanmu Huai had already reached the Devil. He swung his hammer down, smashing the Devil’s legs and forcing it to the ground, then he reached out and grabbed the Devil’s head, his fingers piercing into the Devil’s skull like iron rods!

"But that doesn’t mean you can’t be killed at all. Die, Subspace scum!"

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!"

With Duanmu Huai’s roar, the Devil let out a piercing scream, and then Duanmu Huai’s hands suddenly burst into black flames, enveloping the Devil. He clenched his fist tightly and then lifted upward!

"Pffft!"

The next moment, the Devil’s head was brutally pulled off from its neck by Duanmu Huai, the cervical spine dangling below, while the Devil’s head still maintained the expression of agonizing scream, its eyes widened in horror, staring at Duanmu Huai.

"No, who are you? How do you have such Strength? I can feel my Soul fading away... No, no, no, let me go back, let me go back to..."

"Boom!!"

The flames burst forth instantly, and moments later, there was nothing left in front of her, the Devil had vanished without a trace.

"No way..."

Staring blankly at the scene before her, Amelia’s eyes widened. She certainly knew Duanmu Huai could defeat the Devil, but she hadn’t expected him to be able to kill it directly!

Generally speaking, Devils are not at all possible to kill! Even a Sacred Knight could only expel the Devil from the main plane with the help of a Deity’s Strength! Yet just now, Amelia truly sensed the Devil’s terror in its voice, as well as the complete shattering of its Soul!

This was like the power of a Deity!

Who exactly is he?

The Tribunal... What kind of organization is it?

"Alright, that’s a wrap."

Duanmu Huai didn’t care about the astonishment in the eyes of Amelia and Luganis. He stood up, brushed off his hands, and looked around. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Now, next..."

However, before Duanmu Huai could finish his sentence, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

At the other side of the hall, a Teleportation Portal burst open suddenly. Turning their heads, they saw Dessel and Vanswick rush out in a hurry, the former even wearing a smug smile.

"Ha, ha, ha, Eribeth, you must not know who you’re fighting against! Just lie down and wait to die, I will..."

However, before Dessel could finish, he saw Duanmu Huai and the others standing in front of him, and his voice immediately died in his throat like a duck being strangled.

"Yo ho, if it isn’t Knight Dessel..."

Seeing Dessel in front of him, Duanmu Huai gripped his War Hammer, cracked a vicious and ferocious smile.

"This really is a case of better late than never..."
