Chapter 195 The Giant Demon
Chapter 195 The Giant Demon
In the darkness, a colossal creature stood before Liu Qi. Its size would be equivalent to a hundred-meter-tall building if it were outside, making Liu Qi utterly insignificant in comparison.
Liu Qi did not use any light magic in the darkness, neither fire nor light magic.
However, this did not obstruct his vision; he could see clearly even in the dark.
Liu Qi looked up. This creature didn't seem to intend to kill him. Instead, it looked down at the weak creature, its dark eyes filled with contemplation.
"What is your name?" The demon's voice was like a booming bell, but it only traveled in the darkness. Wu Ku and the others, who were shrouded in light magic, could not hear the voice.
"Liu Qi, an ordinary human being." Liu Qi didn't seem to care, and openly met the demon's gaze.
He looked at Liu Qi, and it was strange that such a person wasn't afraid of him.
On the surface, Liu Qi appears to be nothing more than an ordinary magician who could be easily crushed, one of many in human society, but—
"You possess an energy within you, ordinary people—hahahaha—"
He suddenly laughed, but Liu Qi didn't move; he just watched the demon laugh quietly.
A monarch-level creature, and not just any monarch, is indeed troublesome, but that's about it. What puzzled Liu Qi was why Wu'an Jun would let such a creature in when he had already gone out to guard the door.
That shouldn't be the case at all. Logically speaking, Lord Wu'an should prevent monarch-level beings from appearing in the ancient tomb. The white-robed corpse general had no choice; he ran in on his own and got trapped here. Lord Wu'an wanted to send him out, but he couldn't.
But this demon is different; he comes from the dark dimension, and he entered after Lord Wu'an intervened.
This is something worth pondering.
"That's terrifying energy, kid. You're not an ordinary person. How could a human possibly possess such power? Don't let my current appearance fool you. Before I fell, I was human, and a very powerful magician at that. You can fool some native demons, but you can't fool me," the demon said in a deep voice.
He fell into darkness. Before his fall, he was a magician, though from a very long time ago, he was still a famous one.
A magician who becomes a demon, and a monarch-level demon at that, possesses knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people.
This ability, this fluctuation, is similar to a demon, but it is not a demon. Even if he was a powerful mage in his previous life, no one would know what kind of creature it is.
"Kid, interested in following me?" the demon said, finding this power perfect.
They began to try and win them over.
However, Liu Qi had no such intention. There was no one in this world to whom he was loyal. No one would do. He was himself, not even the Nine Great Organizations, let alone serve a demonic monarch.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
"No thanks, I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to play house with you." Liu Qi waved his hand, rejecting the suggestion.
"Are you sure? Don't let my appearance fool you. In the Dark Dimension, I'm a powerful overlord with an extraordinary status. Following me won't make you suffer, and besides—" The giant demon's voice suddenly changed.
"Your life is now in my hands."
The giant demon said that although Liu Qi seemed to have a strong power within him, he was not afraid. In the demon's mind, no matter how powerful Liu Qi was, he was no match for him.
"Really? But I don't think so." Liu Qi showed no sign of nervousness, instead questioning the giant demon.
"As far as I know, Lord Wu'an should have gone out to stop you. Why were you able to get in? Were there other people besides you?"
This is what Liu Qi cares about most. He needs to figure out what happened, otherwise he will be in a daze if he encounters something.
Liu Qi didn't like this. He preferred to strategize and have everything under his control. This was why Liu Qi had come here—simply to confirm one thing.
Now that things were settled, a new twist has occurred, catching people somewhat off guard.
"Not bad, you still know about Lord Wu'an. That's really impressive. I knew of Lord Wu'an's name when I was human. Although I'm even stronger now than in his previous life, I'm still a little afraid of someone like Lord Wu'an, who's practically an emperor. He's too strong. No wonder he was the strongest person of that era."
The giant demon suddenly marveled at the power of Lord Wu'an, but Liu Qi was not concerned with this matter; Lord Wu'an's strength was common knowledge.
"I don't want to hear you praising Lord Wu'an. Tell me what happened over there? Why are you here? My time is limited, so you'd better hurry up and tell me." Liu Qi said with a gloomy face.
This silenced the giant demon for a moment, then it grinned and said menacingly, "Why does it sound like you're threatening me? Do you know what that means, human?"
"Think what you will, I need to find out what happened on Lord Wu'an's side." Liu Qi stared at the giant demon without fear.
"Seriously—it's been a long time since I've encountered a human with such audacity. Threatening me? You're not worthy! You're just a mid-level mage. Don't think you're invincible just because you have a little bit of power within you."
"Let me tell you, there are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people, and demons beyond demons. And I am that heaven beyond heavens, that person beyond people, and that demon beyond demons. I am not someone you can mess with. You can't scare me with the energy in your body."
The giant demon chuckled twice.
He hadn't encountered anything this interesting in a long time. Now, he suddenly wanted to capture Liu Qi and take him to the Dark Dimension for transformation, turning him into his own subordinate.
The idea of someone who was determined to never yielding gradually becoming submissive is quite captivating.
Unfortunately, he had an agreement before he came that he couldn't take the initiative to attack the people here.
There's still a lot of room for maneuver. You can use some tricks to get this person hooked, and then you'll have a legitimate reason.
"You're a block of mud, are you going to talk or not?" Liu Qi was getting impatient; he didn't have time to keep dawdling like this.
Although things outside weren't urgent, no one would be happy to be with a demon. He felt very annoyed, and such a creature was not worthy of being with him.
"What can you do to me if I don't tell?" The giant demon chuckled, then stretched out its giant hand to grab Liu Qi.
Of course, he was just putting on an act and wouldn't actually make a move unless Liu Qi couldn't help but make the first move, in which case he would have a reason to act.
"What a troublesome thing. Since you won't tell me, I'll beat you until you do." Liu Qi's gaze sharpened, and he stopped wasting words.
His hand was too large; Liu Qi, a mid-level mage, could not possibly withstand it, but his boast was not just empty talk.
He had the power to make this demon submit, which was impossible for a mid-level mage, but Liu Qi was not just a mid-level mage.
If one didn't have some ability, how dare they threaten this monarch demon?
