Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 401 35. Revenge Alliance

"I didn't expect you to be a demon walker, too."

Released from the space confinement circle, the Red Devil rubbed his wrist while watching Merlin's fingers revert to human palms. He said to Merlin with a strange expression:

"It feels really bad, doesn't it?"

What surprised Merlin was that after this guy saw Merlin's secret, there was a hint of sympathy in his voice.

His attitude towards Merlin is also much better than before.

Well, this demon mutant probably misunderstood something, thinking that Merlin's demonic power was passively inherited like him, and that Merlin was of the same type as him.

There is always an instinct between people in the same situation, to hug each other for warmth, and to help each other.

But thinking about it carefully, the idea of ​​the red devil is actually not wrong, at least in the matter of obtaining the power of the devil, both of them were indeed forced.

One comes from the reckless decision of his ancestors, carrying a bad identity as a demon walker from birth.

Another person is carrying a very heavy burden because of his actions.

These two people have the same source of power, and most importantly, neither wants to be controlled, both want to get rid of these things.

"Yeah, a bad feeling."

While Merlin responded gently, he stretched out his hand, and in front of the Red Devil, wrapped a cloud of black smoke around the Red Devil's wrist and shoulders, as if putting two invisible shackles on him.

"It's like your soul is ripped open and filled with something else."

Merlin's voice became deeper and deeper, as if returning to the night when fate was completely changed:

"It feels like you are no longer you, but in fact you are still you. You will long for purity, you will long for completeness, but you can't do it... At least before killing the demon that stuffed you with power, you can only use this Live in a fragmented posture."

"How can this feeling be good?"

"Yes! That's how it feels!"

The Red Devil moved his ten fingers, and he echoed with a ferocious face:

"You describe it very aptly... You really understand these things, the heavy things we carry, this fucking life and inheritance. Those idiots outside regard demons as emotional myths and legends, but how do they understand us? pain of?"

"Sure enough, only the same kind can understand the same kind!"

The Red Devil sighed.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Merlin. The guy who had caused Merlin a lot of trouble before rolled his eyes. He suddenly said:

"Maybe, we can help each other?"

"Ok?"

Merlin looked at the Red Devil in surprise, he couldn't understand this guy's strange brain circuit.

Facing Merlin's gaze, the Red Devil let out a chuckle, and he explained:

"The guys we are looking for are all in hell. Where is their territory? We are already at a disadvantage. If we want to be free, we have to work together. In that ghost place, more people have more strength."

He spread his hands to Merlin, and said calmly:

"I think the hatred between us and the devil is obviously more intense than the conflicts and grievances between you and me."

"In the name of blood hatred, let's form an alliance!"

He stretched out his hand to Merlin with a sincere face. Merlin looked at the hand with sharp claws. He was silent for a few seconds and asked:

"This proposal is a bit interesting, but I'm curious, who is your enemy in hell? Who is that demon who imposed all this on your family's blood?"

"I can't tell its real name, but in the legends left by humans, it has a name called...Beret."

The Red Devil said the name in a low tone.

"Oh, that Barrett."

As a demon walker, Merlin has been collecting information about demons with names and surnames in hell. After hearing the name from the red devil, Merlin knew who he was talking about.

"No. 72 of Solomon's 13 demon gods, the general of hell who commanded 85 demon legions, and it is said that he was once a beautiful angel. He is really a great man."

Although he sighed with emotion about Beret's strength, Merlin's expression was surprisingly calm.

After a while, he seemed to have finished thinking. He stretched out his hand, held the claw of the red devil, shook it up and down, and said:

"Then form an alliance."

Merlin's straightforwardness made the Red Devil blink his eyes. He looked at Merlin suspiciously. He suspected that there might be some traps or dangers that he saw hidden in this covenant.

That's normal, that's how villains act.

"But you should be able to understand that it takes time and sincerity to trust this kind of thing."

Merlin let go of the Red Devil's claws, and he reached out his hand to take out an open box of Sika cigarettes from his pocket, then took out one, and put it in his mouth.

At this moment, the Red Devil stretched out his finger, rubbed it lightly, and a ball of flame came out of his fingertips, helping Merlin to light a cigarette.In the rising smoke, Asazo said calmly:

"Of course I understand."

He raised his hand and shook his wrist. On his wrist, the lingering black mist was like an illusory bracelet.

"This is sincerity, I will not take the initiative to get rid of it until you trust me!"

"very good."

There was a fleeting smile on Merlin's face. Obviously, the Red Devil's wit made him very satisfied.

"Then get ready."

Merlin took out his mobile phone and called Colossus. He said to the Red Devil:

"I'm going to the border of hell. I hope that after this journey, we can become acquaintances who won't stab each other. It's too early for you or me to say the word friend."

"Of course, it is necessary to allow the partners the necessary time to adapt."

The Red Devil nodded approvingly.But he quickly remembered another thing, staring at Merlin, he asked:

"Speaking of which, who is your enemy in hell?"

Merlin waited for the call to be connected, and he replied without raising his head:

"You must have heard of its name. It has no difference between its real name and its pseudonym. It rarely appears in human myths and legends, but all the demons in hell know its existence. It is called..."

"Three palaces!"

"..."

The Red Devil's face changed slightly at this moment.

Obviously, he knows what the name Sangong stands for.

His enemy, the demon lord who single-handedly caused his family's disaster, is just a "famous" hell general, and he already finds it very tricky and almost desperate.

But this guy Merlin...

How did he mess with a hell overlord?

That's a great demon at least two levels higher than General Hell!That is one of the most powerful existences in hell!

Thinking of the previous covenant between himself and Merlin, the Red Devil wished he could slap himself.

This... a big loss!

This is no longer an agreement to help each other, this is a ticket to eternal hell, and I bought it with my own money...

But now, it's too late to regret.

As demon walkers, they are shrouded in mysterious power. The word contract cannot be mentioned casually. Once the contract is made, it must be completed, otherwise bad things will happen.

A breach of contract might not be fatal, but after thinking about the mysterious and weird methods in Merlin's hands, the Red Devil decided, um, to observe for a while before talking.

---------------------------------

"Swish"

In the slightly difficult beating of the red light, Merlin, Colossus and the Red Devil appeared in a dark red barren world.

Almost as soon as they stepped into this land, everyone felt a scorching and desolate atmosphere rising around them, an unpleasant smell of sulfur mixed with the disgusting smell of rotting meat, and the scorching heat In the wind, it slapped the faces of the three people fiercely.

Merlin and the Red Devil are fine. As demon walkers, they can somewhat ignore this bad smell. Going back to hell will bring them closer to the source of power, and even make them more comfortable.

"Ah, pure 'home' air."

The red devil opened his arms, closed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy this terrible environment, his red one with an inverted triangle tail was also swinging back and forth behind him.

Although Merlin didn't express anything, his body was completely relaxed in this extremely devilish environment. He moved his shoulders while looking at the surrounding scenery.

A pale, sun-like light body hangs in the sky, it doesn't emit heat, it's like an empty embellishment.

But this world is very dry, and there is only a vast red sand like the Gobi, like a desert stained red with blood.

The heat, the deadly heat that scorches the world, comes from beneath the earth.

Merlin and the Red Devil may not care about the hellish air blowing towards them, but the Colossus next to them is a pure human being, and this is also the first time for him...well, to go to hell.

This statement is a bit weird. In short, Colossus started to cough violently when he took the first breath of pure hell smog. Not only did his respiratory tract feel uncomfortable, but this damn smell even made him dizzy. It's like being poisoned.

He had to quickly transform into the "Colossus" state, the skin of his whole body turned into steel shining with metallic light, and even his short hair and eyes turned into steel.

In this state, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and his resistance to this abnormal state has also increased a lot.

"Welcome to Limbo!"

Looking at the distressed Colossus, the Red Devil taunted in a harsh tone:

"This is the intersection of the human world and hell. There is still a long way to go to the real hell. Hold on, fragile kid."

Colossus ignored the red devil's sarcasm, he looked at the barren and barren land in front of him, and everywhere he saw was a scene of doomsday.

"My sister, have you lived in such a world all these years?"

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Beside the two, Merlin knelt down and took out a tear-shaped stone engraved with runes from his pocket.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the scorching ground. Under the action of gravity, a small pit quickly appeared. A moment later, Merlin threw the rune stone into the pit and waved his hand to fill up the small pit.

This is the positioning stone of the eternal portal inside the mysterious house. With the positioning of this stone, Merlin can quickly go to the border of hell from the mysterious house in the future.

At the moment when the rune stone was activated, the closed loop of magic power wrapped around Merlin's arm quickly dissipated, which represented the completion of his contract with the Dark Book of God.

"Time here..."

Merlin took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. The time on the screen of the mobile phone strangely stayed at the time when they entered the border of hell. He looked back at the Red Devil. The latter shrugged and explained like a dedicated tour guide:

"Limbo is a space where multiple dimensions converge, where rules of different dimensions merge and conflict with each other. The direct manifestation of these invisible forces converging is that the time of Limbo is almost completely static."

"Even if you stay here for decades, when you return to the human world, you will find that the coffee you put down before leaving is still hot... But this kind of time stillness is fatal to ordinary people, and it will destroy their minds The concept of time in the middle will make them completely fall into chaos and madness after a period of time."

"Hmm...it's amazing."

Merlin patted the dust off his gloves, and then took another look at the weathered skull at his feet. He said to the strong steel man and the indifferent red devil beside him:

"Let's go."

"It's time for business."

He stepped forward and stepped into this land of death.

Behind him, Colossus followed Merlin sinkingly, looking at the pale sun in the sky ahead, he said:

"Keeping you waiting, Liana..."

"I am coming."

"Brother, here we come!"
