The Unemployed Demon Lord

"You...you you you...what kind of monster are you?!!"

"This extraordinary power..."

"How could it be achieved by mere human beings?!"

Democritus pointed at Merlin with trembling hands and questioned, unwilling to accept the reality in front of him at all.

He felt that he had lived in vain for so many years. What's the use of studying alchemy?In the end, it will still be crushed by real power.

Democritus began to doubt life, even questioned his own alchemy, and couldn't figure out what he was working hard for.

"You're not the first to say that about me..." Merlin smiled lightly.

"You...you are absolutely not human, I have never offended such a powerful being as you!" Democritus' face was pale, and he couldn't stop the cold sweat all over his body.

"Although you haven't offended me, your head is valuable, and that's enough..." Merlin held his hand on the handle of the knife, staring at Democritus, "It seems that you have nothing but the head on your neck." If it's worth nothing, just obediently let me chop it off."

"Don't...don't kill me..."

Democritus was frightened out of his wits and fell to the ground, sitting down on his own piss, bewildered and at a loss.

The only thought in his mind was to run away, if he was targeted by Merlin, he would be dead.

Fortunately, the entire mountain range is under my control, and there is still a glimmer of life if I make good use of it!

Democritus quickly activated the mechanism, and then the whole mountain began to collapse, and the rumbling noise was like thunder!

What's more, the smoke that came from nowhere instantly filled the entire space, making it hard for people to see clearly.

The collapse began, making it difficult for people to stand still, and from time to time there was a greater momentum falling from above.

Thick smoke was billowing, making it impossible to see the road clearly, but fortunately, the place where Merlin pierced through could be used to escape.

How could Merlin let Democritus go?

Merlin rushed to the high platform at an incredible speed, but Democritus had disappeared!

There is a hole on the ground, leading to the ground, it seems that this guy escaped quickly by sitting on some mechanism.

Democritus was no fool, he had already prepared escape routes and traps, so the speed of action exceeded Merlin's expectations.

"Master Merlin, let's go! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" Kyle called to Merlin, holding Johnson with a blank face.

Merlin had no choice but to turn his head and retreat quickly outside the exit, cursing with his brows tightly furrowed.

"Damn it! This guy is lucky..."

Chapter 54: Monthly Ticket Addition

Due to the collapse of the mountain, the entire island trembled like an earthquake.

Especially after being slashed severely by Merlin, he became even more vulnerable.

Democritus managed to escape early by using his secret mechanism.

But he was very scared, worried that Merlin would not give up and chased him from behind.

So even though Democritus was not good at sports, he was exhausted and out of breath and refused to stop his steps.

She was afraid of being stared at by those ruby ​​eyes, and then sent to hell with a single knife.

The bushes on the island were lush and lush, but at this time they became an obstacle for Democritus to escape.

He was breathing heavily, as if lacking oxygen.

The red robes all over her body were torn to pieces by weeds, as embarrassing as she could be.

Damn, hate, hate...

What kind of monster is that cutting man?

Is it really possible to reach that height solely by the unremitting efforts of human beings? !

impossible!Even alchemy has its limits, and it is absolutely impossible to create that kind of power!

Just one slash can split the island?This power is probably comparable to the world's top powerhouses.

Legend has it that some people will be favored by the gods and become so-called demigods. Could it be that the black iron adventurer exists in the legend! ?

Democritus' face was pale, with tears of fear in his eyes, and his mind was full of running away from the monster Merlin.

He rushed out of the bushes, came to a certain cliff, and hastily took out his horn flute to play.

skyline

A giant black dragon wrapped in chains slowly flew over, folded its wings, and landed in front of Democritus.

This is a giant dragon domesticated by Democritus. Its level is relatively high, but it is far inferior to the six holy dragons.

Democritus hurriedly mounted the dragon, and then controlled it to fly away from the island.

Rumble!

There was a loud noise behind him, and Democritus looked back, his stronghold had completely collapsed, and a huge amount of dust rose up.

Looking at the laboratory that he had been staying in for several years, it was suddenly destroyed like this, and Democritus inevitably felt sad in his heart.

I finally had a tendency to turn over, but was beaten to death by a sudden adventurer.

All the carefully crafted alchemy beasts are all dead.

Not even one of his own ultimate weapons was spared.

It can be said that he went back to before liberation in one shot, without even leaving a pair of underpants for himself.

These are all the capital for my proposal to Asmodeus, and now it is all in vain...

Democritus sighed sadly, riding the black dragon gradually away from the small island, it seemed that he had to start all over again, the green hills left behind were not afraid of lack of firewood

There is still some dragon blood left, which is great news.

As long as he does not die, it is only a matter of time before he can recreate an alchemy beast that is comparable to the ultimate weapon by relying on his excellent alchemy technology.

As for now, the farther away from this monstrous man the better.

Miss Asmodeus, I will not give up on you...

◇

Four days later.

Merlin and his party did not leave the island these days, but stayed here all the time.

Captain Dennis and his crew cut down many trees on the island to repair the damaged William.

Due to the severe damage to the hull, especially the stern, the crew worked overtime for four days to repair the William.

Although it's not perfect, at least it's ready to go into the water, and it's no problem to go back to the inland.

Before Cecilia promised Dennis that he would compensate him, so she didn't have to worry about the William's problem at all, and then went back to the ship repair yard for refurbishment.

In fact, Cecilia didn't have that much money, and she couldn't afford to pay for the magic cannon that was pushed into the sea with her pocket money.

But now Cecilia's situation is completely different from before. Although the nasty Democritus has escaped, the turmoil in the Dover Strait has calmed down, and the mission has been completed to a certain extent.

For Cecilia, this is a great achievement, enough for her to brag in front of her father, and to stand tall among her brothers and sisters and raise her proud little head.

So in the future, the Duke of Rose may pay for all the damages caused by his daughter, and he will look at Cecilia with admiration and praise her, so the pocket money will naturally increase.

After all, Cecilia has the face of the entire Qiangwei family and has contributed to the improvement of the family's status. As the father, the Duke of Qiangwei will not blame her at all.

Although Cecilia and Kyle didn't help much on this trip, the hired Merlin was the main combat force, knocking down 3 monsters in a row and scaring off the evil alchemist.

So this credit naturally falls to Cecilia, the employer, and it also makes her very happy. She is very happy these days~

Because she was worried that Johnson, a mithril adventurer, would use tricks to grab credit or something, Cecilia even went to mention a few words to him.

"We settled the matter this time, and it has nothing to do with you. I heard from my knight that you were beaten to the ground, so don't be cheeky and say that you calmed down the turmoil yourself. We will not be polite. To pierce your genius mask~"

Johnson was not good after hearing the whole thing, especially the words of being beaten to the ground and piercing the mask of genius severely stabbed his self-esteem.

I was originally a genius, and I didn't wear a mask at all. As for being beaten badly, it was largely due to the enemy's resistance to abrasion, and my magic had no effect!

But Johnson didn't explain too much, he was too lazy to care about the noble lady like Cecilia, but satirized back.

"Shut up aunt, I haven't fallen to the point of taking other people's credit, don't look down on people..."

Cecilia called "Auntie" so angry, if Kyle didn't stop her, she would have quarreled with this stinky brat until the sky was dark!

Although this group of people quarreled fiercely, everything was developing in a positive direction.

Merlin and Alice could get a full 20 gold coins as agreed in advance, and they paid a huge sum of money for the first time!

Although there is still a long way to go to pay off tens of millions of debts, this small step for hope is a big step for beautiful you and Alice.

Even if the repayment amount is deducted, there will still be 6 gold coins left, which is enough for Merlin and Alice to live for a while without worrying about life.

It seems that if this momentum continues, the lives of the two will get better and better, right?

Johnson has been absent-minded for the past few days. Even Kyle wanted to chat with him, but he was sternly rejected, looking cold, as if I don't care about me, I'm annoying you.

He seemed to be avoiding everyone on purpose, and kept looking at the fault on the small island split by Merlin.

He kept trying to figure out the gap between himself and Merlin, but in the end he became more and more desperate. Even if he tried his best with magic attacks, he couldn't reach Merlin's destructive power.

The gap in strength was obvious, which made Johnson, a young magical genius, doubt his life, and felt that no matter how hard he worked, it would be difficult for him to catch up with Merlin.

It is worth mentioning that Captain Dennis has been visiting Alice these days, and he seems very enthusiastic. It seems that there is something he wants to ask?

However, Alice has always been in a coma, and Captain Dennis just visited and left.

Leaving Merlin to take care of her alone, because in the eyes of outsiders, he is Alice's husband.

At this time, in a certain room on the William

The unconscious Alice was lying on the bed, her breathing was fairly steady, but she never regained consciousness.

Merlin sat by the bed, looked at Alice with a solemn expression, couldn't help touching her slightly pale face, and said in a low voice

"This guy is really hardworking."

"You know how to run away when you met me a year ago, why are you so stupid now..."
