Chapter 515 - 348: The Legendary Demon Legend (2)
"Hmm, describe the characteristics of the demons in detail," Xue Dili continued to ask.
Previously, he hadn’t asked much about the demons’ abilities and traits.
The Little Witch grabbed a branch and jumped up, then, after landing firmly on the mountain path, said, "Demons are often the embodiment of fear. Each one represents a personification of something that humans fear. If humans fear them for that reason, their ideology will grow, and their power will continuously increase."
"In the city I was in, the demon was called the ’Snake Demon,’ a grotesque nine-headed serpent that frequently abducted humans, attacked the city, and released a large number of venomous snakes into the sewers, alleys, and woods. Even though it was driven away several times and killed once by an Evil Ghost, it would still return from Hell to continue its abductions," the Little Witch described the traits of the world’s demons.
However, Xue Dili’s eyelids twitched as he watched.
So it’s this type of demon; he thought it was something else, thought he might have run into Satan or Lucifer. Turns out it’s a bunch of conceptual monsters that call themselves demons.
"Then do you have the Electric Saw Demon and the Dominating Demon?" asked Xue Dili.
"Hmm... haven’t heard of them yet," the Little Witch said.
It seems to be a different type altogether. In short, the concept of demons seems more like a collective of things humans fear. The more people fear this concept, the stronger the demon becomes.
That’s why demons don’t get along with the strange and Evil Ghosts. Although they are demons, they also need humans to exist for a long time. If humans go extinct, their demon power will be infinitely weakened.
So that’s why the bizarre phenomenon of demons desperately saving people while the strange ones are desperate to kill them occurs in this world?
Xue Dili couldn’t understand why the world allowed these Evil Ghosts to exist.
Once again, after the two climbed a hill, the view opened wide, and in the distance was the vast blue sea, where the sky and sea seemed to weave together in the field of sight. A majestic city rested by the sea, along with many towns and villages connected to it.
But now this place had long been in ruins, either blackened or stained with bright red blood throughout the city. In the vision of the Divine Purification Demon Eye, the sky above the city was filled with dense, bloated humanoid balloons, twistedly gazing at the ground, as if constantly searching for something.
Seeing this hellish scene, the Little Witch, who still retained a Divine Purification Demon Eye, twitched her mouth.
She had no choice but to look at the city through the eye of Xue Dili, avoiding being disgusted by the countless humanoid balloons.
Xue Dili closed his eyes. When he reopened them, the white of his right eye turned light blue for a moment, activating the Ghost Eye. In this sight, the city was bustling with noise and excitement.
The whole world seemed to belong to the aviators, with the city sky filled with hot air balloons and aircraft, everyone wearing aviator glasses, continuously scanning the ground below. Some hot air balloons seemed to be working above, sprinkling water, fertilizing, or spraying pesticides on the fields below.
An animated scene, as if passion were burning.
But when the Ghost Eye closed, the city remained desolate.
The original fields were entirely transformed into wild forests overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and the aviators in the sky all turned into corpse balloons.
"Brother, did you see them? Those evil ghosts flying in the sky," the Little Witch kept talking beside him, picking up the monocular telescope Xue Dili had handed her earlier, constantly looking at the distance.
Xue Dili nodded, somewhat baffled by why this city was full of flying-type Evil Ghosts.
Do the Evil Ghosts also have some kind of regional characteristic?
"Brother, although it’s just hearsay, it seems like the demon that resides in this city is called the ’Dragon Demon,’ a terrifying and dreadful Giant Dragon skilled in aerial combat and harassment. It’s said that every attack brings immense damage to people," the Little Witch explained.
Just as she finished speaking, a large black dot appeared above the city as if tearing through space. It seemed like a gruesome hellish black dragon covered with twisted spikes, human skulls used as beads on a necklace hanging around its neck.
It appeared incredibly terrifying and twisted. As soon as it showed up, the endless humanoid balloon Evil Ghosts in the Divine Purification Demon Eye’s vision also moved, as if they’d found prey, rushing madly toward the giant dragon.
Each balloon exploded the instant it came into contact with the dragon, blood and bones turning into shrapnel that staggered the Dragon Demon. Some desperately clung to the dragon’s back, using their hands and feet to tear at the dragon’s wings.
And in the Ghost Eye’s vision, the people on the hot air balloons were shouting, stopping the dragon. Those in flying squirrel suits jumped from the balloons. Xue Dili saw that those in the flying squirrel suits carried massive bombs on their backs.
When they reached the dragon, they decisively detonated the explosives on their bodies, becoming aerial suicide bombs to kill the Dragon Demon.
"Damn you bastards, I’m here to save people. Are there any humans left? Even just one person? Humans, is it possible that in this metropolis of tens of millions there really isn’t a single survivor? Whoever is alive, I’ll protect you from dying, I’ll fight to my death to get you back to Hell. Please, whoever’s still alive, come out quickly..."
