Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 161: The Fall of Demigod
"Any last words? If not, then let's get going."

Lin En placed the giant axe across Gutes' neck and looked at the dying demon, ready to send the father and son to another world for reunion.

"Master Demon Emperor, my clan suffered heavy losses a year ago, and now we have finally recovered some of our strength. Please stop killing each other and spare my life. A demigod is too important to the demon clan right now!"

If he were outside at this time, Gutes would have plenty of ways to escape from the axe blade, it would just be a painful price to pay. However, in the Demon Emperor's Palace which was blocked by the palace protection formation, no matter how many tricks he used, he was still helpless.

His opponent Illidan was too terrifying. Not only was he powerful, he also understood the will of the Demon King before he ascended the throne. As a mere demon, he had no chance of winning at all. Even if he was unwilling, he could only bow his head and beg for mercy.

"Demigods are important, but I don't care. My demon clan is full of talented demons. Sooner or later, we will restore our former glory. We don't need to rely on old guys like you to hold the fort. You should go with peace of mind."

Lin En's voice and Gutes' blood fell at the same time, and while speaking, he took away another precious life-saving magic weapon of Gutes.

"Then please, Lord Demon Emperor, spare my son's life. All of this was arranged by me and has nothing to do with him."

Seeing that the Demon King Illidan was unwilling to leave him alive, Gutes' mind became clear for a moment before he died, and he suddenly understood a lot.

He did not die from his own arrogance, nor from his reliance on seniority, nor even from angering the Demon King, but from the fact that he did not believe in the Guardian Demon God.

The battle of faith is a bloodier war than the battle of race. Once it starts, it will inevitably result in bloodshed.

The current situation in the Demon Realm is not suitable for starting a battle of faith. After all, the demons have suffered too much damage before and have been weakened beyond recognition. If they lose so many high-end combat forces, it will only benefit the World of Miracles in vain.

But that is for the entire demon clan. If it is only for the guardian demon god, then now is indeed the best time to start a battle of faith, because 98% of the strongest demons who died before were believers of the demon god of destruction. Although the believers who guarded the demon god also suffered losses, it is almost negligible.

In particular, the previous emperor, the Demon Dragon Emperor, was so clever that he designated seven demon kings to succeed him, in an attempt to use the dragon whip to conquer and devour the team that guarded the Demon Lord in the lower world of the demon world.

If he could remain invincible all the time, it would certainly be a great thing to kill three birds with one stone. However, he was not up to the task and went out to be slaughtered by others. He didn't even come back with a corpse.

Now, although the followers of Lord Demon of Destruction are still far stronger than the team of Lord Demon of Protection, they have now occupied the title of the Seven Demon Lords and have also parachuted in a Demon Emperor. Even if they are numerous and powerful, how can they fight against the nominal emperor and seven kings?
Gutes thought he was doomed. If there was any reasonable reason, the believers who protected the Lord Demon would definitely kill him. After all, as he himself said, a demigod was too important to the current demon clan.

Because of different beliefs, the more important you are, the faster you die.

Gutes was actually afraid of death, but he had already figured out that he had no way to survive, so before he died, his last hope was to save his little son.

After all, he has more than fifty children, but this youngest son is his biological son. How could he not love him?
"I'm asking you to say your last words, not putting any conditions on them. You can say whatever you want. Whether I agree or not is another matter."

As Lin En spoke, he burst out with his powerful aura to suppress the two remaining demons outside the hall, and then he raised his axe and chopped off Gutes' head.

Suddenly, the air outside the golden palace became oppressive, and dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky. A moment later, a patter of rain began to fall. The demons looked up and saw that the rain was black and red, like dead blood.

A strange smell could be smelled in the nearby Golden Palace and outside the palace, like the smell of fire burning flesh, which was very pungent and unpleasant.

The bloody sun that had been hanging high in the sky seemed to shed a bloody ray of sunlight, shining directly on Gutes's corpse. The demigod fell, and a strange phenomenon descended from the sky.

This is a unique treatment for a demigod who has absorbed a trace of the origin of the world. At the same time, the coming of the vision also means that the demigod has completely fallen, and the extremely weak trace of the origin of the world in his body has been taken back by the world with his death.

Is this dead?

All the demons could hardly believe that a dignified demon demigod could die so silently, but the phenomenon of his fall was the feedback of the world. No demon could deceive the world, not even the demon god.

Lin En, who was closest to Gutes, only noticed at this time that the big demon who was seriously injured and dying by his casual axe had recovered his vitality, and his hand was still tightly held by the dead Gutes. Through the gap between their hands, Lin En saw that Gutes had stuffed three magic weapons of unknown grades into his son, and this was the reason why he died directly after being beheaded by the axe.

The devil is about to die, his words are...

It's a pity that it's not kind, because both father and son have the blood of the people of the Miracle World on their hands.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Not to mention that Gutes' son is already a big devil with a lot of blood on his hands, even if he is still a little devil who knows nothing about the world, Lin En will not let him go.

"Give it to me, and you will suffer three times less."

Lin En stretched out a hand towards the big demon and asked him to hand over the life-saving magic weapon.

With his strength, three extra lives are of no use at all. They are not even enough to support him to escape one meter. Why waste such a precious life-saving magic weapon?

Although his wives can't use these things due to their properties, it's okay to give them to Illya and the others. No demon would have too many good treasures like these that can save one's life.

"Master Demon Emperor, please bury my father with honor."

When death was really approaching, the big devil who had been shouting "Father, save me" at first seemed to have seen through life and death. Without any hesitation, he handed over the inheritance left to him by his father before his death, just to give his father a more grand funeral.

It's not that he lives a clear life, but that he can only do this with his strength. He is over level 700 and facing the Demon King above level 950, it is like an ant facing a human, he can only feel powerlessness and despair.

"It's a small matter. These will be your wages. I will arrange for a few slave demons to dig a pit for you outside the city and provide two high-quality coffins. Don't worry about anything else."

Lin En weighed the precious magic weapon in his hand twice, then accepted it with a smile.

In the past, these three life-saving magic weapons that could be effective against a level 900 demigod could be exchanged for a duchy of a grand duke, but in the hands of the stingy new Demon Dragon Emperor, they were only enough to buy two coffins and a grave, and he didn't even give them a tombstone.
