The knight in the abyss

Chapter 173 Flame Demon VS Refining Demon
Everyone was taken aback by the Balrog summoned by Lancelot, but the Balrog ignored them at all.Its left hand held the flame whip that was still tied to the devil's body, and its right hand held a giant sword that was shining with lightning. It just rushed towards the demon, and the weapon slashed at the enemy's head.

There was only a bang, and the giant sword of the Balrog and the mace of the refining demon collided, flames and electric arcs shot out in all directions, and the shock wave sent everyone flying upside down.

But they all climbed up quickly. This kind of battle between top demons is not seen every day.

The flame ability that the devils are best at is meaningless in front of the Barlow, because the latter is one of the few demons that is completely immune to flames.Another weapon of alchemy, the poison in the fangs, also cannot cause any harm to Tanar'ri.In other words, in order to defeat the Balrog, it can only rely on head-to-head physical damage.

But this Balrog showed amazing fighting skills. After it slashed with a sword, it instantly used the teleportation ability similar to that of a snake demon to appear behind the opponent, stabbing the enemy's defenseless back with a sword.

Lianmo didn't have time to turn around, so he could only throw out his own tail to block the Balrog's attack, but the latter seemed to have guessed the opponent's reaction long ago, with a twist of the huge sword in his hand, he directly cut off half of the devil's tail down.

"Ah!!" The demon uttered a scream, and hurriedly flapped its wings to get away, but the flame whip of the Balrog was like a poisonous snake, instantly wrapped around its ankles, and pulled the devil back violently.

The refining demon flying in the air had nowhere to rely on, and was pulled backwards and flew back.It simply turned around and swung the mace violently, trying to surprise the opponent with a surprise attack.

But the Balrog had disappeared in place, and there was nothing behind the devil.

"Uh, bad."

This was Lianmo's last thought before he died, and then Balrog's giant sword chopped on its head.

Before the devil could make any screams, the devil's giant sword split it in half from head to tail, and blood splashed all over the ground.Countless little snakes drilled out of the shattered corpse, they quickly devoured the devil's flesh and blood, ate up the corpse in the blink of an eye, and then devoured each other.

The Balrog opened his mouth and spit out a ball of flames, burning all the little snakes all over the ground into a ball of ashes.

Everyone stared at all this in astonishment.The Balrog summoned by Lancelot showed terrifying strength. The battle that was supposed to last for a long time ended in only three rounds, and the efficiency was about the same as that of Brutal killing a Berserker.

The demon turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Everyone held their breath nervously, looking up at the huge twelve-foot-tall demon, not knowing what would happen next.Elotesia and Aramir clenched their weapons tightly, ready to die in battle.

But something unexpected happened.The Balrog put away his weapon, its body glowed with magic light, and its figure shrank rapidly, turning into a human man with disheveled black hair.His upper body was naked, his muscles were muscular, and there were countless terrifying scars on his bare skin, some scars looked enough to make people die several times.

The new image of the Balrog eased everyone's tension. He looked at Lancelot and asked:
"Where is she?"

Just now, the man who was a Barlow flame demon asked, and Lancelot immediately understood what the other party meant.

"The last time I saw the lady who fell out of favor was in Shuangqiao Town. At that time, she gave us a commission to rescue this special lady. She said that when we encounter enemies that cannot be dealt with, we can use this amulet to call A powerful boost." Lancelot pointed to Helotesia beside him, and at the same time handed the talisman into the opponent's hand, "When that hellish fiend appeared, I knew it was time to use it, by the way, Haven't asked for your name yet..."

"Names are a dangerous thing. They have the power of recognition, and they can be used as weapons by people. Like hooks, they can travel through the worlds, track you, find you, and hunt you down." A bitter smile appeared on the man's face , "I once lost my name, and then it took a lot of effort to find it back. But that name has nothing to do with me now, you can call me Anonymous."

"Ms. Out of Favor once mentioned that she was traveling with a person to find his past, so she must be referring to you?" Karaline couldn't hold back her curiosity and said, "Are you a human being? That was some kind of powerful transformation just now. The effect of body magic, right?"

"No, now is the effect of the transformation magic, this is what I used to be." Anonymous denied the speculation of the scholar, he raised an arm, and a long whip of flame appeared in his hand, it was the Balrog's Iconic weapon. "For ordinary people, no matter what method they use, becoming a demon means completely losing their humanity and memory, but this is not difficult for me."

"How is this possible?" The succubus on the side screamed, "Don't you be affected by Tanar'ri's evil nature, and feel the urge to do evil all the time?"

"You must be Elotesia, that succubus paladin, before he fell out of favor, he asked me to find out about your whereabouts." The man nodded at Elotesia, "When you become strong enough, you will understand That impulse is actually the will of the abyss. The demon's body is a mold molded by the abyss to distort the soul he stuffed into it. But with a strong will and rational thinking, you can fight against his influence. I know It sounds tough, but it looks like you're doing pretty well."

"You call the will of the abyss Him?" Kara Lin suddenly became excited, "Does the abyss really have a personified consciousness?"

"I'm afraid only the old woman Cang Ye knows, and most likely she has something to do with it." The man covered in scars shrugged and turned to look at Lancelot, "What's the matter with this Buzz demon? What about the devil? Will it get involved?"

"It disguised itself as a tiefling merchant and attracted many mercenary groups. Before we started, the team escorting her seemed to have been attacked for several rounds." Lancelow looked at the succubus, "I said right?"

"It was originally planned to take me all the way north along the Styx, but I encountered a Baatezu navy on the way, and the six-armed snake demon had no choice but to take a detour." Elotesia glanced at the A man with scars all over his body, "Since then, mercenaries have been launching attacks, and they will come every few hours."

"Mercenary?"

"Yes." Lancelot nodded. "It is said that sacrificing her can bring great power. Many demon lords have offered huge rewards for Elotesia."

"Public reward? This is impossible. Which sub-lord dares to openly oppose Irtu?" Anonymous shook his head, "Where did you hear this?"

"A tavern owner in Momentary Fortress..." Lancelow was stunned when he said this, and he suddenly realized that the tavern might also be part of the devil's trick. Come and attack the team escorting Elotesia.

"Hmph, is it another trick of the Buzz demon?" The man who is the Balrog shook his head, "Fortunately, I gave you that amulet out of favor, otherwise this group of guys who play tricks and schemes will succeed again. I can understand her Why hand the amulet to you, but this amulet should return to her as soon as possible. Take me to her, now."
