The Little Devil of Sakaz

"No!"

118. Obstacles and changes

"I'm Worm, I'm looking for...a signature pen."

"I am the signature pen."

A strange joint in such a small newspaper stall.

Worm handed Tallulah's letter to the other party, then refused the other party's offer of food and left the small newspaper stand.

"who are you?"

He was stuck in an alley in the city.

The black things he had seen from afar surrounded him.

Three, five... or more?

"Hiss... Huh... Demon King, what will you bring to Ursus?"

He said something that Worm didn't understand.But the other party knew his identity.

"Do you want to... fight?"

Worm's hand had already grasped his knife, and the next moment the blade came out of the sheath and cut off a black spear that appeared out of thin air.

"……what?"

The smell of that thing made Worm instinctively disgusted.

"Quick knife."

The inner guard looked at the severed black spear and praised the sharpness of the demon king's blade.

"You are so young...ah, young devil. Even it is afraid of your aura."

The young demon king may bring new changes.

"Can we hurt you? We can fight that Wendigo, but what about the Demon King?"

His words were obscure and unintelligible, the smell of the Riddler that Worm hated most.

"That black snake is not worthy of trust, just like those nobles."

A saber slashed from one side, and the blade was blocked by Sakaz's crystal-like arm, causing tiny sparks and fine shavings to rub off.

"Only this country itself is worthy of your contact, Sarkaz. Ursus does not reject any civilization, but it will not accept any barbarism."

The black air polluted the air. Worm's spell was shot through the tip of the bone nail, nailing the opponent's shadow to the wall and defeating all the black air.

"Usus will still stand, but will it be ruined or reborn? We will see."

The opponent's spells seemed to be controlled and not spilled out of the alley. Worm didn't know the reason, but maybe it was because they were also protecting the ordinary, ignorant civilians outside who were spending their boring daily lives, or maybe it would cause consequences if exposed. Trouble, and they don't like to deal with trouble.

Worm blocked his shadow to prevent those weird spells from endangering the people hiding in it.But being helpless and facing the siege of five people would put him at a disadvantage. Worm's stone-winged magic arm armor was shattered, but fortunately the flames contained in it forced the opponent back.

But he still bled, and his skin was pricked a little by the opponent's black spear.

"what?"

In the end, the inner guard failed to catch up with his colleagues. He seemed to have received new news, news that shocked them, the emperor's inner guards and the sharp blade of Ursus.

"What a regrettable outcome, Demon King."

"But that's not about us. It's not about our part."

"It has nothing to do with this land or this country."

"We will meet again, Sakaz."

"You will need Ursus as much as Ursus needs Sarkaz."

The inner guard was also the inner guard who first confronted the Demon King. Most of the black spear in his hand had dissipated. That was not his power and will, but the aftermath of the Demon King's power.

"I hope you won't make the same mistakes as those demon kings before you."

Ursus is only motivated by strength. They have fought under the former emperor's banner and have no resistance to foreigners joining Ursus, but what they need are strong warriors who are loyal to the country of Ursus, not lunatics.

"baffling."

Worm watched them leave with vigilance. After thinking for a moment, he cut his palm and sprinkled a little blood on the alley.

The creations made by blood magic also have the purifying properties of Worm's blood. It seems to be able to swallow energy as food, not just the source stone, but even the contaminated sludge left behind by the black coat's spell. can be digested.

"Your Highness."

Ines emerged from Worm's shadow with a hint of apology on her face.

She knew that it was because of her in the previous battle that Worm had difficulty fighting those black coats with all his strength.

"No, it has nothing to do with you, Ines. They came to me. There was not much hostility. It was more of an invitation than a battle... It was like a test before a warrior was brought into the team."

But they are Sakaz and have nothing to do with these Usas people. Why do they think they will agree to them?

"Your Highness? How do you..."

Worm's sudden pause made Ines immediately put down those emotions and look around cautiously.

Are those people back again?

"Let's go, Ines."

Worm took out a communicator from his pocket, which was inserted by the other party during the chaos just now.

Just now, he heard the other party's communication, either a reminder, or a return gift for him to clean up the sludge.

"What happened, Your Highness?"

Ines took Worm's hand and led him quickly through the shadows of the city.

"The team was attacked. It was Ursus' army...the private army of the nearby nobles."

"What did those people tell you just now?"

"Yes."

Is it... fighting again?

Ines roughly understood.

They were involved in a battle between Ursus nobles, and they targeted the Sakaz team led by the Demon King.

In order to prevent them from being absorbed by the other party, they even did not hesitate to destroy them directly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. The Demon King's guards are all here and they can resist us until we return."

Those Demon King guards are very powerful, and Ines believes they can protect the team.

"Quil and the others are unstoppable... The one launching the attack this time is a full 2000-man regiment. They have heavy artillery and Originium explosives... They are very dangerous."

Worm didn't know why those people just told him this news.

Do you not want him to misunderstand?Or don't you want him to be hostile to Ursus as a whole?

But no matter what, Worm must go back immediately.

immediately.

"The terrible Sakaz, the damn demon guy."

The Ursus officer's curses sounded along with the order for a new round of attack.

It had been half an hour since they launched the surprise attack, and the artillery battalion's artillery had just fired its tenth box of shells.

Hundreds of his team died in front of the broken earth wall.

"Aim for me!"

"Commando! Break through those Sarkarz defenses for me!"

"Even if you give me your life, I will crush all these damn Sakaz to death here!"

He didn't know before why the Count was so interested in such a Sarkaz team that didn't even have decent equipment, but now he knew that there were a lot of monsters hidden in these Sarkaz.

The blood devil who was dried by their artillery, the scavenger who was easily blown to pieces by their concentrated fire because he was too tall, and those weird Sakaz who were killed by their heroic soldiers with their own lives, each one of them... There was a huge threat to the lives of his soldiers.

"Oh, even though you are strong, times have changed a long time ago, Sakaz, you should go back to your stinking ditch. Ursus is not a place where you should or can come!"

The artillery fire roared in front of him. He looked so righteous and awe-inspiring, and his soldiers looked so brave and fearless.

119. But...my Demon King

"Damn...where am I..."

The little devil woke up from a coma. Her body was in terrible pain. Many of her bones were broken, right?

The sounds outside disappeared.Was the battle over, or was she deafened by the bomb?

Oh, that's ridiculous.As an experienced Sakaz mercenary, he was tricked, and as a gunner who was best at making bombs, he was severely injured by bombs.

"It has stopped, Miss W."

Arturo, that guy sitting next to her, that Saccota.He looked so embarrassed that his hair was almost made of dirt.

"Where am I...hiss..."

She can't get up.

Could it be that his leg was blown off?

"In the cave made by Miss Mudstone, we are hiding here to resist the bombardment of those artillery fires. But she fainted because of the spell that overdrawn her life and she has not woken up yet."

OK, I can still hear a little bit of sound, but I'm not completely deaf.

The little devil tilted his head. The people hiding here were civilians and the wounded.

"That is……"

Who is that big, bloody man?

"That was Mr. Norton. He was fighting with the enemy to cover the evacuation of civilians from the war zone. He was hit in the body by those artillery fire...most of his body was blown into pieces. Fortunately, he barely managed to save his life because of the strong vitality of the scavengers. "

"Ha...it's better to die there."

For a soldier, losing his life is not terrible, but losing his body and limbs that can support movement and having to lie there and eking out an existence every day is terrible.

"What's that?"

Another blood clot, smaller than a mutilated scavenger, was placed in a large basin, slimy...

"That's...Mr. Simon. The blood demon can no longer maintain its form and can only survive in this form."

But the civilians didn't have enough blood, and there wasn't enough blood in their supplies to be able to recover the Blood Demon.

"Why are you so noisy? Can you shut up those brats?"

The sound is not loud, but crying at this time will only affect people's hearts.

"...Please understand their sadness, Miss W. A poor little life is about to die."

"Who?"

Enough people have died.

She remembered that before she was knocked unconscious, she had seen no less than ten of the Demon King's guards, who had not even shown their strength. They were extremely frustrated and were killed by the Ursus who rushed across the line under cover of artillery fire and tied bombs.More mercenaries died under enemy fire. They did not see where the enemy was before they died.

"Fuqiu."

The rich emotions around her were full of grief and sorrow, and Arturo's emotions also fluctuated accordingly. She closed her eyes and felt the feeling of sadness flowing between her fingers.

"She... how could she?"

She recognized the little girl, the little girl who often came to give wreaths to Worm.

"She had her hand cut off by an Ursus soldier. By the time Sonia brought her to stop the bleeding, she had already lost too much blood."

And there are no blood transfusion equipment in their medicine reserves.

Because they followed Worm, because of the long-term victory, because of the almost invisible damage, because there was a blood demon in the team who was good at blood magic, and because the demon king was always by their side, they never considered that someone would suffer from blood loss. Die for things.

Today's situation was created because of laziness and neglect.

"...Where is Worm? Didn't Worm come back?"
