Chapter 217 The Demon Army of Stillwater Prison



2/4

"Squeak! Foolish human! So easily tricked by the great Skaven! Squeak squeak! Skaven is the Tenth Apostle of the Demon Race. You really think I would be afraid of you, a running dog of the Second Prince?

Ridiculous!"

The rat-man who had been leading the way for Reji in a humble manner, seeing that Reji had successfully fallen into the trap and all escape routes were locked, with the situation settled, immediately jumped out and changed his face.

His narrow rat eyes were now looking at Reji with satisfaction, his arrogant tone fully displaying his haughty attitude of being arrogant before and servile after.

"So...this is your demon army?" Reji looked around. There were at least a dozen different races of non-humans that he could see.

Combined with what he had discovered earlier in the Second Prince's lighthouse base, containers filled with various non-human body parts, it seemed that the main function of Stillwater Prison was far more than just imprisoning humans.

At the same time, on the opposite side, although Skaven was a bit dissatisfied with Reji's current attitude, clearly trapped in an encirclement yet not very flustered and still had the time to chat with him.

But it had to be said, as soon as he heard Reji mention the words "demon army", the rat-man was extremely excited and even put aside the matter of the siege.

He held his head high, very proudly showing off to Reji:

"Squeak! That's right! I told you long ago, the mission bestowed upon me by the great Demon King is to lurk behind the humans and accumulate strength for our race's counterattack!"

"Under my persuasion, in this Stillwater Prison, twenty-eight races have already embraced our demon race! As long as I, the Tenth Apostle, give an order, each and every one of them can fight and die for the demon race, dedicating their lives to demons!"

Just boasting to Reji verbally was not enough.

The rat-man said and opened his arms, wanting to get a response from his "army" under his command to prove it.

Unfortunately, these non-human races surrounding Reji were not very cooperative. Some with violent tempers, such as dwarves and gnomes, even gnashed their teeth at the rat-man on the stone, as if very dissatisfied with Skaven's words like "dedicating lives to demons".

Being a bit dismantled, especially in front of Reji, made the rat-man very embarrassed and angry. He turned his head and scolded these non-human races.

"Squeak! What are you doing! Have you forgotten what I said! I'm telling you! These past few days, I have already felt the summons of the great Demon King! The great Demon King has sent a message to me that the demons on the surface are already in action!

The horn of the counterattack will soon sound!"

"At that time...squeak squeak! When the great Demon King comes down to rescue us, I will truthfully report your performance to the great Demon King! Your every move now will become the assessment criteria for whether you can successfully join the demon race in the future!"

After the rat-man's bluff, the expressions of the non-human races finally became a bit more honest.

For non-humans, especially prisoners, it was the specialty of the Sword of Oath. The ordinary sword blade immediately shone brightly. The radiance of Holy Smite even covered the gloom for a moment, turning into a glorious slash, fiercely chopping on the dragon's chest.

"Argh!"

After a miserable cry, the more fiercely it had pounced over, the more miserable it was now being sent flying by Holy Smite.

It could be seen that the thick dragon scales on the dragon's chest had already shattered, revealing the deep sword mark and the bloody mess underneath. It was only because of its strong physique that it was barely hanging on to a breath of life. If it were other races, it would have probably died already.

This strike from Reji was like a bucket of cold water, instantly stopping the other non-human races who still wanted to rush over, be loyal to the demon race, and show themselves.

Their eyes looking at Reji were filled with fear secondarily, but mainly with shock and surprise, as if Reji had done something extremely unbelievable.

Even the "Tenth Apostle" Skaven was startled when the light of Holy Smite flashed. The rat-man's fur was now all puffed up, looking at Reji with disbelief:

"De-de...demon power!? Squeak! How is this possible! Demon power!? Why can you use demon power??"

The rat-man rubbed his eyes, but the dragon-born lying not far away, groaning in pain, was the best proof. There were still remnants of Holy Smite's radiant magic power at its wound. All of this was not an illusion.

"No, no, no! This is impossible! In Stillwater Prison, all magic power should be sealed!"

"How could this be? Why does the gloom have no reaction to you! No...even if you can isolate the gloom, you, who can use magic power, should be instantly discovered by the Blood Moon. The evil power of the Blood Moon should rush into your body and tear you to shreds! Why..."

The Blood Moon was the condensation of evil thoughts in Stillwater Prison.

It was the existence that all prisoners feared the most.

And for the Court of Judgment, the "Blood Moon Judgment" was also used to represent the highest verdict.

In the rat-man's previous self-proclaimed title, there was also Believer of the Blood Moon, which shows the status of the Blood Moon in the hearts of the prisoners.

"Could it be the Emperor's jade core? Yes, it must be! This is a higher-level jade core than the one the Second Prince has! Even the Blood Moon can be escaped? Such a treasure..."

Skaven muttered to himself, and soon his eyes were filled with greed.

"Quick! Don't be afraid! All of you, go! Even if he can use magic power, it won't be too much. Just consume him a bit and he'll be helpless!"

"At that time, those of you who seize the treasure, I...I...I will personally negotiate with Hektor and let the Great Demon General bestow medals upon the bravest warriors!"

"As long as we can offer such a treasure to the Demon King, we can truly become demons! Be favored by the great Demon King!!"
