Chapter 1094 There is only one truth

 Killing these demons is just a piece of cake for Duanmu Huai. It is just a whirlwind attack. The demons rushing towards Duanmu Huai all around have been smashed into pulp by him.

"boom!"

As the war hammer hit, the surrounding demons exploded one after another. Duanmu Huai then put away his weapon and glanced around.

Um?

 To Duanmuhuai’s surprise, according to the information displayed by the auspicious device, there are actually signs of life here?

Didn’t the devil just lie to me?

 In short, just go and take a look and you will know.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai continued to walk forward. The door at the end of the corridor was locked, but Duanmu Huai didn't care and opened the door directly and walked in.

 It looks like a warehouse inside, but what is inside is not goods, but a person. They were locked in iron cages in groups, looking uneasy. Seeing Duanmu Huai striding through the door and walking in, these people screamed and huddled together.

Um………

Duanmu Huai stepped forward, carefully looked at the people in front of him, and scanned them.

 No problem, not the illusion before, but real human beings. In other words, those demons captured people and locked them up here?

 What do they want to do?

 “Damn devil!”

While Duanmuhuai stared at the group of people in front of him and thought, one of the men stared at him angrily and roared loudly.

"Don't think that we will surrender to you! Even if I die, I will die with honor as an imperial soldier! Your blasphemous ritual will not succeed, and the Demon King Belial will definitely be destroyed!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, walked to the man's cage, then stretched out his hand and tore the solid iron cage open.

“What do you think happened to the Demon King? Who are you?”

"I am Iron Wolf Captain Dafud! I can kill or chop you, whatever you want! We Iron Wolves are all tough men and we will never frown!"

 “A man? But Asilah is not a woman?”

Duanmuhuai curled his lips.

“Okay, I’m not a demon, I’m an adventurer. Asila said you haven’t come back yet, so she asked me to come find you... What’s going on with you?”

 “Are you not a devil?”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the man was stunned for a moment. He looked at Duanmuhuai warily, looking him up and down carefully, with an unbelievable expression on his face. But Duanmu Huai didn't care. After tearing open the cage, he walked straight to the side.

“Okay, come out quickly, I have something else to ask you. Asilah said he would send you to Alkanas to investigate. Why are you locked up here?”

“…Are you really sent by Asira?”

Although the man was still wary of Duanmuhuai, now he and his companion carefully walked out of the torn apart cage. While he signaled his companions to help others get out of trouble, he stared at Duanmu Huai carefully. To be honest, the man still felt that this might be some kind of devil's conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out what the devil meant by doing such a trick.

But since Duanmuhuai asked, the man might as well say it directly.

“As you said, Lord Asila sent me to lead a team to Alkanas to investigate, but in fact, this is simply a trap!”

"trap?"

"Yes, you have also seen that this outpost has long become a camp for those **** cultists and demons. They have transformed into sentries and guards here. When we first came here, we did not raise any suspicion. , but after drinking the drinks provided by the other party, my companions and I all passed out. When we woke up, we were already locked in a cage and all our equipment was taken away!"

 “If the devil doesn’t kill you, will you keep it for the New Year?”

"They said they wanted to use us as sacrifices to Belial! They said that the devil was carrying out a cruel and cunning plan that required a large number of sacrifices... In addition to us, they also used this disguise to arrest many civilians and Businessman, **** it, the information about Alkanas may have been deliberately spread by these cultists in order to lure us into being deceived!"

 “Then do you know where the devil is?”

 “I don’t know this…”

 “In the palace!”

At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded. The two turned their heads and saw a haggard man limping over.

“That demon king is definitely in the palace, absolutely right!”

 “How do you know? Who are you?”

“I am the guard captain here! I was originally responsible for guarding Cassin Outpost!”

The man in front of him was already emaciated, skinny and bones, and walked unsteadily. It can be seen that he has been imprisoned here for a long time.

 “Kaisen!?”

 Captain Iron Wolf was also shocked when he saw the other party.

"How come you...wait a minute, what do you mean the devil is in the palace?"

"As I said... not long ago, we received an order from the palace, which said that there was a threat of rebellion due to the excessive number of refugees in Kaltim. Therefore, the palace guards needed to be responsible for transferring personnel to defend Kassin. Outpost, I didn’t think much about it at the time. But I didn’t expect that just after the exchange of precautions, the other party suddenly turned against me and imprisoned me and all my subordinates! Only then did I know that those guards were all demons! "

“But, this doesn’t mean that the Demon King is in the palace?”

"That order has the king's seal! Otherwise, how could I agree to the defense change? And don't you have any doubts at all? We Iron Wolves are obviously the most loyal guards of the empire, but why did the palace send us out to attack A cultist, and then found a group of people who didn’t know where they came from to guard the royal city?”

"this………"

Hearing this, Captain Iron Wolf was speechless for a moment, and Duanmu Huai also narrowed his eyes.

  In other words, the raging cultists are just a cover-up, and the real devil has actually taken control of the palace?

 If the other party is the king of lies, then playing some tricks seems like what it would do.

 In any case, you’ll find out when you get back!

 “I’m going back first, you can do whatever you like.”

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made a decisive decision. He originally thought there was something wrong with the royal city, but now he is even more certain of his suspicions. What if all those royal city guards are demons disguised as demons?

Why? Isn't that just right?

 There is nothing more interesting than Wushuang.

So Duanmu Huai decisively turned around and left. When Captain Iron Wolf came to his senses and chased him out, he only saw the corpses of the demon on the ground - as for Duanmu Huai, he had naturally disappeared long ago.

With the destination in mind, Duanmu Huai stopped fishing. He galloped all the way and returned to Kaltim as quickly as possible. At this moment, Iron Wolf's commander Asila was checking the refugees at the city gate. When he saw Duanmu Huai striding over, he was also startled.

“Iron Warrior, why did you come back so soon? What I want you to investigate...”

"Your captain is not dead. He will come back later. If you have anything to do, just ask him directly. I'm busy now, so don't bother me."

However, Duanmuhuai didn't even stop. He just said something to Asila and then continued walking forward. Seeing Duanmu Huai's murderous look, Aisila also instinctively felt that something was wrong and hurriedly followed. Within a moment, Duanmu Huai came to the gate of the inner city again. When the soldiers guarding there saw Duanmu Huai coming again, they hurriedly raised their weapons to block the way, and at the same time roared loudly.

 “Stop, the royal city is ahead...”

 “Boom!”

However, before the guard could finish his words, Duanmuhuai swung his hammer and directly knocked away the two soldiers in front of him. Watching the two of them being smashed against the city wall like projectiles, and then falling to the ground.

This sudden scene frightened almost everyone. The civilians and nobles who were originally begging for entry at the gate of the royal city were so frightened that they screamed and ran away when they saw this scene. Asila, who was following Duanmu Huai, was even more shocked when she saw this scene.

“Wait, Iron Warrior, what do you want? Do you want to make an enemy of Kaldeum?”

 “Shut your mouth and give me a good look.”

Duanmuhuai grabbed Asila and forced her to look at the two corpses. Then Asila saw that the corpses of the two guards had turned into half-human and half-snake monsters.

"This is……?"

“All the imperial guards are disguised as demons, and the demon king has already infiltrated into the royal city! Ask your subordinates for the specific situation, I’m going to fight in!”

 Duanmu Huai said, throwing Asilah away, then holding the warhammer tightly, and ran forward with long strides. In front of him, the fully armed guards also raised their weapons, and then their forms instantly changed into demons, blocking Duanmu Huai's face.

Of course, this level of obstruction was meaningless to Duanmu Huai. He didn't care at all about the spears piercing him, but moved forward, directly knocking away all the guards blocking the entrance to the royal city. Then he raised his war hammer and smashed it hard against the ground!

 “Boom!”

The entire royal city trembled, and the citizens of Kaltim outside thought that some natural disaster had occurred and ran away screaming.

"how come………"

 When Asilah stood up from the ground, the surroundings were already in chaos. And she herself stared blankly at the corpses of the demons on the ground. Although Asila had already noticed that the recent situation in the palace was not normal, but... the demon king had already taken control of the royal city?

Then the king they are loyal to is...

 “Boom!”

Along with the roaring explosion, the ground shook again, and the surrounding wall pillars collapsed one after another. At this time, Asila also realized that it was not the time to think about this. She also hurriedly cheered up, glanced at the palace, then gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth. The scalp rushed in.

 “Damn subspace bastards, get out of here and die!”

At this moment, Duanmu Huai has completely entered massacre mode. He held the war hammer in his hand and kept moving towards the palace hall. Anyone who dared to stand in front of Duanmu Huai, whether human or demon, would be crushed and killed by him without mercy. Since this royal city has been controlled by the Demon King, in the style of the Tribunal, it can be concluded that all mortals here have the possibility of being corrupted.

 The best way to sterilize is high temperature disinfection!

 “Boom!”

Duanmu Huai struck out with a hammer, and the burning flames erupted, completely engulfing the buildings around the royal city. For a moment, there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere, and the blazing flames even turned most of the royal city into a burning brazier. The guards who turned into demons screamed and were burned to death, and the ordinary servants and ministers were not much better. They screamed and tried to escape, but in vain.

 Even a little bit of the flames of destined death will quickly devour the entire body and completely destroy it.

 “Help ah ah ah ah ah!!”

A fat man screamed and rushed out of the corridor. Most of his body was covered in flames. However, even so, the human survival instinct still made him subconsciously want to escape, although he didn't know where he was going. , but anyway just run!

However, it was a pity that he only ran a few steps before he was completely engulfed by the flames, wailing and fell to the ground without moving.

 Duanmu Huai didn't even look at this, but just walked forward. Beside him, the burning flames spread out in the direction Duan Muhuai was walking as if they were surrounding the king's guards. The sealed door melted under the burning flames, and Duanmu Huai walked up the steps and arrived at the center of the palace hall.

“I really didn’t expect that an adventurer could actually do this.”

Standing on the high platform was a child who looked to be only ten years old. On the left and right sides of the high platform, fully armed guards were guarding him. The latter stood there, looking at Duanmu Huai with a strange smile.

"Is this really good? There are many innocent people in the royal city? This fire will burn them completely. Is this your glory as a hero?"

“There is no sacrifice too big to be accepted, and there is no betrayal too small to be tolerated.”

 Looking at the child in front of him, Duanmu Huai's eyes were cold.

“In order to eliminate the filthy subspace bastards, some established losses are inevitable.”

 “Hahahahaha, interesting, then, let me see what you are capable of!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the child in front of him burst out laughing, and with his laughter, the surroundings suddenly turned into dark, dark green clouds. Immediately afterwards, the body of the child king disappeared, and a huge monster more than ten meters high emerged from it.

 “This is my true power! Mortal!”

Belial, who had revealed his true form, looked at Duanmuhuai proudly.

 “Feel the terror of the devil, and then die!”

In front of the King of Lies who has recovered his true form, Duanmu Huai in front of him is just a little insect. He can easily crush him by raising his hand - this is the difference between a mortal and the devil!

In fact, Belial did exactly that. He stared at Duanmuhuai, then raised his right hand and smashed it down hard!

 “Boom!!”

What happened?

 Even the King of Lies could not understand the situation in front of him for a while. It remembered that in order to kill this stupid intruder, it slapped its palm at him.

 But why, now my right hand is hanging on my body as if it is broken. What happened?

 Looking at his broken right hand, Belial was completely unable to understand the situation in front of him.

At this moment, as if to wake it up, severe pain struck.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Belial never thought that he would be attacked like this. He let out a sharp scream and looked angrily at the ground in front of him, trying to find the culprit. However, what surprised Belial was that he did not see the strangely dressed Iron Warrior on the ground.

Where did he go?

　　　　————Whoosh!”

At this moment, Belial seemed to feel something. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky. Then he saw a dazzling bolide falling from the sky and coming to him, and then...

Flames were burning in Duanmu Huai's hands, and the warhammer entwined with thunder and lightning hit Belial's head hard, shattering its smooth forehead into pieces in an instant. Then he rushed in, instantly penetrated Belial's head, and hit the ground hard.

"No---!!"

Belial, whose head was penetrated, only had time to let out an unwilling roar. It raised its hands in despair, trying to grab something. However, the next moment, its body decomposed, shattered, and then exploded completely, dissipating completely along with its soul.

 “What a king of lies.”

Standing up, Duanmu Huai looked at the completely exploded Belial and curled his lips.

The same problem as cunning and cunning. There is no point in engaging in so many conspiracies. In the final analysis, it doesn’t depend on the fist?

 As long as my fist is big enough, no matter how many conspiracies you have, it will be in vain?
