Skaven got a bit too excited and let something slip.
It seemed that the rat-man's greed was not about coveting treasures and wanting to keep them for himself but about offering them to the demon race so that he could truly have the hope of joining the demon race, not just deceiving.
It was not hard to see that he really loved the demon race too much.
Perhaps the highest level of deception was to deceive oneself as well.
And beside him, the non-human warriors who were already a bit carried away didn't notice the loophole in Skaven's words.
They gritted their teeth. It seemed that in order to become glorious demons, and even hearing that they could be awarded medals by the Great Demon, they became even more fervently excited. They were not even afraid of Holy Smite anymore and continued to pounce on Reji with renewed vigor, with the intention of risking their lives.
Until...
"Should have said so earlier." Reji shook his head.
If he had known earlier that the gloom was like this, he wouldn't have needed the jade core.
Buzz!
After a slight vibration sound, the dark green barrier that originally wrapped around and protected Reji's body, replacing him in blocking the gloom, suddenly disappeared.
The reason was also very simple.
Reji put away the jade core.
This scene stunned all the non-human warriors again, making them all stop abruptly, including the rat-man Skaven.
What did this feel like?
It was simply like a hero holding a holy sword, but then with a snap, he threw away the holy sword.
In the eyes of these non-human prisoners in Stillwater Prison, the jade core that could isolate the gloom was almost the same as a holy sword, a supreme treasure, but now...
What the hell?
Did that human's brain break?
No, this was simply crazy, right?
Sure enough, after the barrier of the jade core was gone, in the next moment, the surging gloom immediately swept towards Reji, forcing many non-humans to retreat as if fleeing. No one wanted to be tainted by the gloom.
As for Reji, in their eyes, this foolish human was already done for. The rat-man Skaven was even stomping his feet in anger.
Because after being excessively eroded by the gloom, the physical body would turn into a lump monster. That kind of monster was simply a disaster and would emit strong pollution. They could not even think about taking the jade core treasure on Reji's body anymore.
But soon, the rat-man was the first to notice something was wrong.
Wasn't the swarming gloom a bit too much?
Only then did they see that with Reji as the center, in less than two or three seconds, a terrifying gloom storm had formed. First ten meters, then twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters...
In the blink of an eye, the rat-man and the non-humans were surprised to find that the prison air around them had actually become clean and clear. The gloom that was originally mixed in it had all disappeared without a trace.
No, to be precise, it was all "sucked dry" and surged towards the human in the center.
This was simply... It was simply not like the gloom was eroding the other party but like the other party was...absorbing the gloom...
That's right.
When Reji heard that the composition of the gloom was a condensation of sinful thoughts, he didn't bother anymore. After removing the jade core, those ominous glooms were submerged by another greater sinful and evil thought the moment they entered his body.
Under the tens of millions of sin points, Reji's body was like a bottomless abyss, a huge black hole.
Withdrawing his thoughts for now, Reji turned his attention back to the present.
Now Stillwater Prison was completely devoid of gloom.
Yes, the reason why the rat-man and those non-humans wanted to attack him earlier was for the jade core, and getting the jade core was just to avoid the gloom.
But now...it was gone.
Completely gone.
The curse of the prison for hundreds of years had disappeared just like that, as if it were an illusion.
This should have been the most exciting and happy day for all the non-human prisoners locked up inside.
But obviously, at least the group of "demon army" under Skaven's command could not be happy now.
Reji took a step and walked towards the rat-man hiding behind the giant rock.
And those non-humans on the way all trembled non-stop, lowering their heads one after another, not even daring to look at Reji for a moment longer. As for their "Apostle" who was supposed to protect them?
Staying alive was the prerequisite for joining the demon race. They still understood this principle.
Finally, Reji came to Skaven's front.
The rat-man was quite straightforward.
Thump!
He directly slid and knelt in front of Reji.
"My lord! Actually, I was lying to you before. I...I am not a demon apostle at all. I...yes! Actually, I am loyal to the Emperor. I fight for humans.
Everything I do is for the sake of...for the sake of...that's right! It's to infiltrate the demon race!"
Reji: "Really?"
Seeing a chance, Skaven hurriedly kowtowed excitedly.
Although there was some struggle in his eyes, after all, this went against his beliefs, saying such words.
But...
Skaven believed that if the great Demon King's spirit in heaven truly discovered this, he would definitely forgive him. These were all compromises! Temporary forbearance! To stay alive! Yes! Only by surviving and reaching the surface could he join the demon race!
He was just pretending to deceive this human, but behind his back, he must escape and offer this earth-shattering intelligence to the great Demon King!
The value of such intelligence was definitely not small. In this way, perhaps with such a great contribution, he could truly become a glorious member of the demon race!!
Thinking of this, the rat-man here no longer hesitated and even became a bit excited, immediately saying, "Absolutely true!"
In fact, through the mental connection of the "Banner of Command", Reji was well aware of the rat-man's psychological activities. He didn't expect that even at this time, what Skaven was thinking about was still how to use him to join the demon race, thinking of passing the intelligence of him, this "great enemy", to the demon race.
"..."
After thinking for a while, Reji deliberately said, "Is that so? But won't you first confirm my identity before answering?"
"Huh!?"
Skaven didn't quite understand and was a bit confused, not sure what the human in front of him meant. Wasn't the other party the Second Prince, a person of the Emperor?
But no matter what, he had to go along with it.
So the rat-man hurriedly asked Reji cautiously, "Then who...who are you..."
And the next five words from Reji completely petrified the rat-man.
"The Demon King."
