Chapter 354 Arrogant Demon and Terrifying Words
"Don't be so quick to attack me. You must understand that the price of killing a Superior Demon is something you cannot afford, Li Xiang..."
Li Xiang's movements stopped.
He turned his head back as if he had seen a ghost.
A black Demon floating in the air was facing him with its ferocious face.
"You... what did you just call me?"
"Li Xiang, hiss... this name is really good... Ideal, Li Xiang, it seems your parents have high expectations for you."
Li Xiang let out a long breath and looked at him, "Who are you?"
Checking his attributes, he couldn't see his panel.
"I just said, I am a Superior Demon.
Oh... you probably don't know what a Superior Demon is, right?"
"I know," Li Xiang interrupted, "I'm asking who you are?"
Superior Demons, in the background settings of the game World, are the most top-tier existences within the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan is an extremely rare race. Even a random Low-tier Demon is a BOSS-level existence. As for Superior Demons, according to the World's background introduction, their numbers are extremely small. The entire Demon Clan has only seen seven different Superior Demons appear so far.
This also means that there are at most seven Superior Demons within the Demon Clan on the surface.
Such existences are not Monsters that would appear at the current level of eighty.
Li Xiang had already used the recording function to record the image of this Superior Demon in front of him and sent it to Lu Qingshui, asking her to check the Demon's background.
Lu Qingshui replied instantly, "Why is the video you sent a black mist? I can't see anything."
Li Xiang immediately opened his own recording and found that it was indeed a black mist.
The Superior Demon spoke, "Don't be so anxious, I'll tell you who I am."
"Superior, Arrogant Demon - Puthred!"
Arrogant Demon?!
Li Xiang immediately sent a message to Lu Qingshui, asking her to look for a guide.
At this very moment, Arrogant Demon Pusiruide grabbed Li Xiang's hand.
An eerie color appeared in his eyes. Instantly, a series of system prompts appeared.
「Ding! You have been subjected to Arrogant Demon - Puthred's gaze. Communication with the outside World is temporarily interrupted.」
「Ding! Arrogant Demon - Puthred has cast a curse on you. You will die in ten minutes and be unable to move during this period.」
「Ding! Arrogant Demon - Puthred is melting your defense.」
...
Li Xiang's defense value was rapidly decreasing.
God's Flash!
Li Xiang's figure broke through Pusiruide's blockade and appeared more than ten meters away.
Pusiruide still maintained his previous posture, as if he hadn't reacted.
A moment later, he turned to look at Li Xiang, "Interesting... interesting..."
"As expected of a Demon Warrior, you can actually dodge my blockade."
Li Xiang watched the death countdown reach 9:45 and looked at Pusiruide.
"You just said you were waiting for me. You shouldn't be waiting for me just to kill me, right?"
Pusiruide floated into the air, "Your mind is quite clever, but attacking me as soon as you show up is impolite."
Li Xiang said directly, "Tell me your conditions."
Pusiruide laughed heartily, "Do you know why Demon Warriors are called Demon Warriors?"
"Because they can cultivate both magic and martial force!"
Upon hearing Li Xiang's answer, Pusiruide immediately burst into laughter, "No, no, no! I knew you wouldn't know. Let me tell you.
The 'Demon' in Demon Warrior is because they can sign a contract with a Demon and share the Demon's power, which is why they are called Demon Warriors.
Speaking of which, the first Demon Warrior was just an ordinary Warrior who signed a contract with a Demon."
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was different from the introduction and origin of Demon Warriors that he knew.
"Of course, it's different from what you know. No Human would hand over their achievements to another race, especially... Demons. In the eyes of the World, Demons are the embodiment of evil, standing opposite the hypocritical Humans."
After speaking, Pusiruide flew in front of Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, do you know what kind of Demon signed the contract with the first Demon Warrior?"
Li Xiang looked at him, "Is it the Arrogant Demon?"
"Hahahahaha, I knew you would say that! Wrong, wrong! It's the Gluttony Demon!"
"It's that idiot who only knows how to eat! He actually signed a contract with a Human just for a little food! How ridiculous!"
Li Xiang looked at the somewhat crazy Arrogant Demon in front of him and couldn't figure out his thought process either.
But the death countdown was still ongoing, with six minutes remaining.
Given the Arrogant Demon's interest in spouting nonsense, he probably wouldn't know what he wanted to do until he died.
"If you have the leisure to chat with me more, I suggest you remove the curse on me first."
"Oh~ once the curse is cast, it cannot be removed."
After speaking, Pusiruide stared at Li Xiang, "I see fear in your eyes. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me? Or are you afraid of your woman leaving you?"
Li Xiang didn't care about the previous sentence at all, but the appearance of the last sentence made Li Xiang's pupils contract.
"You... what did you say?!"
"Hahahahaha... It seems I guessed correctly. It's the stench of desire, the desire for physical indulgence... the stench of the Lust Demon... I hate her the most. She's truly an existence that makes Demons sick and uncomfortable."
"Don't be afraid. What we Demons like most is making deals with other living beings. Once a deal is reached, we are very trustworthy."
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go ahead, what kind of deal?"
Pusiruide said, "Before making a deal, I'll show you something. This will help you recognize reality."
After speaking, he threw out a glass sphere.
The next second, a large amount of mist was released from the sphere.
Within the mist, a scene was displayed.
With just the first glance, Li Xiang's pupils suddenly dilated.
In the scene, there was a room that looked like a laboratory. In the center was an operating table, with various precision instruments beside it. On the operating table lay a naked girl.
Various instruments were constantly hovering around her head. Bright red blood flowed out, and soon an incision appeared.
A mechanical arm held an extremely small crystal-like object and embedded it into the incision. Then, the mechanical arm began to quickly stitch it up.
After the surgery, several women walked in, wiped the girl on the operating table, dressed her, and took her away.
The scene abruptly ended here.
"Tsk tsk tsk... From the perspective of you Human men, this girl's figure and face should be top-tier, right? No wonder you like her.
What a pity, she's about to die... In at most two or three months, that thing in her head will collapse due to lack of food. By then, this girl's head will explode like a watermelon, bang! It will burst open."
Li Xiang's body was trembling.
The girl in the scene was Lu Qingshui!
He was completely bewildered. In the game... how could there be real-life footage? This Demon... the term he used was 'you Humans'... this indicates that he is not a person in disguise...
"Two or three months... what you said... is it true?"
Pusiruide tsked, "Looking at your dejected appearance, I, the Arrogant Demon, never deign to lie! That's something the weak use to make excuses for themselves. I am strong, I don't need it."
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiang, "Do you want her to live?"
Li Xiang suddenly grabbed Pusiruide, "What do you need me to do!"
Pusiruide shook off Li Xiang's hand, "The contract I want to sign with you is for you to bring her here. I'll find that guy the Gluttony Demon to eat her and copy her memories into the body of another healthy girl. This way, she will be resurrected in another form.
And what you need to do is bring me to the real World."
Boom...
Li Xiang understood the meaning of every word Pusiruide said, but when they were linked together, Li Xiang's understanding began to collapse.
"I know that in this World, you are just a vessel. Even if you die countless times here, your physical body in the real World will not die.
Don't doubt it, I have the power to influence your real World."
As long as you sign a contract with me, I can make the Soul within that body from the scene just now, the one that fills you with vulgar desire, exist eternally..."
「Ding! Player's brain wave detected as abnormal. Preparing for forced logout.」
「Ding! Forced logout executed successfully.」
Li Xiang's body froze in place.
Pusiruide circled Li Xiang twice, "Soul... forcibly detached?
Damn it, that thing is causing trouble!!!
Without its protection and isolation, I would have been able to reach that wonderful real World long ago!"
