Demons Beside You

Chapter 496: Coming From Front And Back

The three Hellhounds!

When they saw the three Hellhounds appear behind them, all the mercenaries almost pissed their pants in fright.

Someone tried to go into the water, but then nine snake heads floated out.

Each snake head was around two meters long. Their eyes shone with different colored lights as they stared at the bank.

They were also waiting for the ignorant to fall into the trap.

There was an even larger and more terrifying shadow in the water, swimming and patrolling slowly.

At that moment, the mercenaries were finally in despair.

“You’re already surrounded. Put down your weapons and await judgment.”

The mercenaries put down their weapons one by one. Chitter chatter spread from the surroundings.

The inferior demons all jumped out of the darkness or from trees.

They all held blow darts, small daggers, or ropes.

They tied the mercenaries into a line and brought them into the space crevice.

The moment the mercenaries saw the huge castle before them, they were all astounded.

But then, a bunch of skeletons stood up from the ground.

“Do not try to fight. You won’t be able to succeed.” Blackie finally appeared.

The mercenaries were terrified again. They didn’t know how many times they’d been terrified tonight.

But this time was definitely the scariest time.

The Grim Reaper! They really saw the Grim Reaper.

And they saw him while they were still alive. Was there anything more depressing than this?

Traitor Trigly hurried over. Knees turning weak, he knelt before Blackie.

“Most esteemed Grim Reaper lord, your servant welcomes your return.”

“Yes, bring them all down and tell them the rules.”

The mercenaries didn’t struggle. They’d long given up on that.

…

“This place is filled with death,” Simons said. “An unsettling aura is interwoven in it. Do not walk further.”

“Ha… Don’t try to fool me with your lies. I won’t fall for it. Keep going.” Herretia didn’t believe him at all.

She wouldn’t believe a demon unless there was something wrong with her brain.

“I’m not lying. I’m serious,” Simons said earnestly. “Many people died here tonight. Even the fragments of their souls have disappeared. Can’t you sense the smell of death?”

Herretia furrowed her brows. She couldn’t smell death.

But she could smell the saltpeter. There was indeed a heavy smell of burnt gunpowder in the air. It was blown over from the northwest and indeed where Simons pointed.

It was like a battle had just occurred in that direction.

Suddenly, a shadow quickly landed before Herretia and Simons.

“Halt. One shall not pass.” Murphy suddenly appeared, blocking Herretia and Simons’ path.

“Vampire.” Simons immediately recognized Murphy’s identity.

“Is your armor not heavy? Are you doing cosplay? You look nice, but that doesn’t change my duties. You can’t cross this path.”

“What’s cosplay?” Simons asked, turning around.

“He’s insulting you.”

“Vampire kid, you are looking for death!” Simons immediately pulled his sword out to cut down on Murphy.

Murphy instantly jumped two meters away. It was so close.

That armored guy didn’t seem right…

Murphy got goosebumps all over. Right then, Simons attacked again.

Murphy flipped and kicked Simons in the chest.

But Simons didn’t move at all. Instead, Murphy fell to the floor from the rebound.

Seeing that he was on the ground, Simons immediately attacked.

Frightened, Murphy flipped up and just barely dodged Simons’ attack.

Simons’ blood-red saber struck the tree before him. It was at least 40 centimeters in width and snapped directly.

Right then, a bunch of whooshes came from the entire forest.

It was like the wind blew past the forest. Herretia and Simons both felt something strange with the atmosphere.

…

At the moment, there were around 20 people on the road before the house.

They weren’t mercenaries. They were Darks.

Ben Dark was their leader. A young man came over to Ben’s side.

“Ben, the gunshots from Haus have ended.”

“Yeah, the fight must be over.”

“It’s our turn.”

Ben waved. “Let’s go. It’s our turn.”

Ben led the group toward the house with a confident aura.

…

“Master, someone broke into the forest from the back. They’re attacking Murphy.”

“Murphy can’t beat them?”

“Nope. The other is a spiritualist and a magic puppet with a demonic aura.”

“Didn’t I tell that kid to take a break? Why did he run back here?”

Suddenly, Blackie reappeared by Chen Zhao’s side. “When I was burying bones on the road, I saw that there were 20-some more people.”

“More people? Are they the reinforcements?” Chen Zhao was a bit doubtful.

“How should we deal with it?”

“Eugene, you go protect Murphy,” Chen Zhao ordered. “It’s okay even if you show your true form. As for the people on the road, I’ll bring the gargoyles over personally. This is so annoying. Can’t they come together instead of so scattered?”

When Chen Zhao went to the front of the house, he already saw the 20-some people swaggering over.

What is this? Do they look down on me? Or are they stronger than the mercenaries from before?

Chen Zhao didn’t dare to be careless. After all, they were 20 people.

If everyone shot him once, he had to surrender too.

“Kill!” Chen Zhao ordered. The gargoyles hovering in the sky suddenly dove down.

“Ah… What is this?”

“Go die!”

“Ahh!”

In an instant, only three or four of the 20-some Darks remained.

They all stood back to back, staring at the gargoyles surrounding them with despair.

“What is this? They’re that weak? They didn’t even fight back… What kind of reinforcements is this?”

“Clean up the living ones and throw them in the space crevice.”

Right then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang.

“Hello, Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Chen Zhao, great that you’re okay. Keep holding off. I’ll bring people over immediately.”

“Uh… What are you talking about? I can’t understand.”

“You weren’t attacked?”
