Chapter 868: Evil will retreat in the face of greater evil

The next night, Prince Zion tried again to summon demons.

This time, he's summoning a demon he once cooperated with.

By convention, this kind of demon should be very easy to summon - demons are keen to start a long-term "business" with humans, and as long as one transaction is successful, they can't wait to pursue the second transaction. Through seemingly favorable transactions again and again, it constantly pollutes people's minds, and eventually induces people to degenerate, sign a long-term contract with it, or even become its kind.

Of course, Prince Zion knows these truths. He didn't originally plan to trade with the same demon multiple times, and even according to his plan, he could only trade with the same demon once to ensure safety.

But the new demon doesn't answer his call, he can only try to summon the demons he had cooperated with before.

This is very dangerous, but Prince Zion feels that if it's just one time, it shouldn't be a big problem...

However, to his surprise, even the demons who had cooperated with him did not respond to his call.

"What's going on?" Looking at the burnt-out censer placed in front of the lamb just killed, Prince Zion looked blank, "Did my summoning ritual go wrong?"

He carefully recalled and compared every step of his summoning process, and found no problems.

The ceremony should be right.

Where is the problem?

After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

A few days later, a destitute little homeless man in the city of Terrera learned a secret from an old homeless man who was beaten with a stick and was about to die.

A secret ritual that sells part of one's life in exchange for wealth and power.

After the old tramp told him the secret, he died. When he was about to die, he regretted it and kept complaining, "I should trade this useless life for something good", "I am poor for a lifetime, and there is no benefit" and so on. . The little homeless man was ignorant and could not understand his pain, but he was deeply infected.

What's the use of living a long life when you are poor? If you can live a good life with money and power, it doesn't matter if you live a few years less!

So he started trying hard to complete the secret ritual.

The whole ceremony is very simple, strange patterns, spells, and sacrifices. A few days later, the little homeless went out of the city quietly, stole a chicken from the countryside, and then used the chicken as a sacrifice to complete the ceremony.

It was a dark night with no moon and no stars. When he used thatch, soil, and his own hair as materials and the chicken as a sacrifice to complete the ceremony tremblingly, under the big tree he was hiding, a mass of Deep shadows rose up.

The little homeless man was overjoyed, and was about to make a promise when a golden light shot from behind and penetrated his body.

Prince Zion, who had been monitoring nearby, arrived quickly with two loyal dead men holding sacred instruments bought from the Church of the God of Light.

The shadow has not dissipated, it is a projection of a powerful demon, which contains the insignificant power and will of the demon. It doesn't care about losing that, as long as it makes it happy.

Therefore, when the prince came to it, it seemed very indifferent.

But as soon as the prince opened his mouth, he was stunned.

"Are you interested in talking about business?" the prince asked, "I will give you some sacrifices, and you will help me improve the abilities of my two subordinates."

The demon who turned into a shadow looked at the human being in front of him doubtfully. According to its experience, after the human beings killed the person who summoned them, they should speak ill of themselves. Why did they just talk about business?

Still, no demon would turn down "business."

"Of course you can, but this kind of thing can't be agreed casually, there must be an agreement." The devil replied, "Unless you send the sacrifice now, there is an agreement, and you can find it after you prepare the sacrifice. I."

"You are right, so how do you agree?" The prince asked with joy in his heart.

The devil is also happy in his heart. Although the situation is different from the usual experience, it will go so smoothly, but it has rarely been encountered in the past.

There was a squirming in the shadows, and a piece of parchment with weird symbols and words fell.

The prince hesitated for a moment, estimated the possible risks, and went up to catch the parchment.

This piece of parchment may contain the blasphemous power of the devil, but at least until he signs it, it can't really hurt himself.

But when he took the parchment, and before he could study it carefully, the demon in the shadow had already screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"How could this be?!" The demon screamed in surprise and even panic, "No! This can't be done! No way! Absolutely not!"

"What's wrong with you?" the prince asked suspiciously, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have come into contact with a secret.

The demon managed to regain his composure and let out an ugly laugh: "Oh, I can't make a deal with you - no one dares to make a deal with you. There is a great being who has paid attention to you, and no one dares to make him unpleasant. The danger of this is related to you. You don't have to sign that agreement, I declare it void!"

After speaking, the parchment paper in the prince's hand suddenly burst into flames, and it burned cleanly in an instant, not even a single ash was left.

The prince was a little impatient and asked, "What's going on? Make it clear!"

"No, no, you don't need to know what's going on." The devil replied, "In short, you just need to live as you used to, I won't interfere in your life, just pretend we haven't met!"

After speaking, the shadow suddenly dissipated, and the demon left.

The prince stood there, looking puzzled.

This time he lured the homeless man to summon a well-known demon. It is known for its greed. As long as there is a little chance, it will try to tempt people and make every effort to make people fall. Among the demons, it is a very dangerous type.

In the past, although the prince knew how to summon it, he never tried to summon it - because this guy was too dangerous.

But... even this dangerous guy keeps a distance from himself...

what on earth is it?

The prince pondered for a long time before leaving with his subordinates. After going back, he checked a lot of information and wanted to understand what happened to him.

It took several months until his father became increasingly sick and finally decided to arrange a succession ceremony. He finally got a clue from an elderly cleric that he didn't know if it was useful.

Evil will retreat in the face of greater evil, and the world of the devil pays more attention to the order of superiority and inferiority than the human world. When a person is targeted by a powerful demon, to a certain extent, he has the ability to make the little demons shy away.

Based on his own situation, the prince felt that maybe... this is the answer to the question...
