Demons Beside You

Trede Pempton’s breathing turned heavier. He stared at Winry with hatred, but he still kept a level head.

Turning to Chen Zhao, the hatred remained in his eyes. “It’s you. It’s all because of you that I’m in this state!”

“Mr. Pempton, that’s not really fair. It’s your own karma. How can it be my fault?”

“If you didn’t get in my way, all this wouldn’t have happened. You destroyed everything! You should die!”

“Yelling about dying is a bit much. We’re all civilized people. Why can’t we just sit down and have a nice chat?”

“Trede, why are you still wasting time with him?” Winry urged impatiently. “Kill him! Hurry up, it’s almost midnight.”

Trede thirsted for blood right now. He ground his teeth, making cracking sounds.

Chen Zhao took a few steps back. With Trede’s current state, he really couldn’t fight him. Chen Zhao was stronger than the average man, but he couldn’t go up against beasts.

If he had to go against a beast, it could only be a beast...a beast from Hell.

A demonic ritual implement appeared in Chen Zhao’s hands. “Bloody Hunter, get over here.”

A puff of red smoke shot out of the ritual implement. Trede was still scared of Chen Zhao. Seeing this, he didn’t dare to charge brashly. He took a small step back, looking at Chen Zhao cautiously.

A while later, a huge figure arose in the red smoke. The summoning of the Bloody Hunter succeeded!

“Mixed bastard.” The Bloody Hunter looked at Trede in disdain. Then he turned to look at Chen Zhao and immediately lowered himself. “Respected Living Lord, I am happy to work for you again.”

“What is this...a demon? You...you summoned a demon?” Trede had demonic blood in him. He could obviously sense the pure demon lineage in the Bloody Hunter.

The Bloody Hunter stood up straight. He was a head taller than Trede, covered in hair, and had horns on his head.

Winry was utterly shocked too. This man could summon demons? And summon a pure demon? How was this possible? How could he do this?

She and Trede had tried so hard but still hadn’t succeeded. And yet this Asian could summon a demon so easily?

“Living Lord, are they your enemies?” The Bloody Hunter licked his lips and opened his mouth slightly, revealing the fangs.

“Yes, they want to kill me. I’m so scared.”

“You won’t mind me killing them, right?”

“As you wish.”

The Bloody Hunter was really happy. Since Chen Zhao had summoned him to the living world, he definitely wouldn’t scrimp on the pay.

“Bastard, come here. I’ll show you what a true demon is.”

Actually, the Bloody Hunter was a low-level demon too. He was also mixed. However, the Bloody Hunter was a mix of two demons. This was different from Trede, who was half-human, half-demon.

Trede was enraged. It wasn’t the Bloody Hunter’s first time calling him a bastard. Roaring, he pounced toward the demon.

The Bloody Hunter also screamed and tangled with Trede. The two fought in the most primitive way—with gnashing claws and teeth. It was difficult to see the winner.

Seeing that the Bloody Hunter didn’t have an absolute advantage, Chen Zhao asked, “Hey, Bloody Hunter, can you really do it? Should I call some more helpers?”

The Bloody Hunter didn’t have the time to reply to Chen Zhao now. With his pride, he wouldn’t be willing to get reinforcements either. If he couldn’t even beat a mixed demon with very little demon blood, he wouldn’t have the heart to go back to Hell.

Trede was definitely weaker than him. He could feel it. It seemed as if they were neck to neck, but the Bloody Hunter actually had the upper hand. His teeth and claws were sharper, and he was stronger and faster.

Winry finally completed the last step of the sacrifice ritual. “Trede,” she yelled. “Jump into the Gates of Hell with me! Hurry!”

Trede used all his might to push the Bloody Hunter away. Eyes turning red, he screamed as if trying his hardest to go against Winry’s order. However, he couldn’t control his body. He walked toward the ditch involuntarily.

His consciousness had finally collapsed. Winry’s power overtook his mind.

Trede jumped into the Gates of Hell. Black light instantly shot out of the gates, forming a dark cloud in the air. Various large tentacles reached down. Excitement was written all over Winry’s face.

“Success. I succeeded. Mighty Sleeper, you’ve finally come to the human world.” Winry opened her arms wide happily. “You’re dead, Asian. You thought you could change things by summoning a low-level demon? You bastard, you cannot be compared to the Mighty Sleeper, Lord Besta.”

One had to admit that the scene was quite shocking. It could be seen even from miles away.

David and Sienna who were in the wilderness saw it too.

“Sienna, look... What is that?”

“That old witch succeeded... She summoned a demon! She really summoned it.” Sienna’s expression changed drastically.

“Is...is Chen in danger?” David panicked.

“Maybe... Maybe he has a solution.” Sienna looked grave. Her voice was filled with uncertainty. Even from so far away, she could sense the demonic aura clearly.

“Are you sure?”

“Bullsh*t,” Sienna muttered in annoyance. “How can I be sure? I’ve never seen it before.”

“Then what do we do?”

“What do you think? Let’s go and help him. Maybe we can defeat the demon if we work together.”

Sienna decided to hurry over. She was still hopeful, since Chen Zhao’s abilities were immeasurable. She also had a fatal weapon in her hands. If they worked together, they might be able to win.

“Check how many bullets you have left.”

“Ten.”

“Bring the two bottles of mixed holy water too. Smash it into the demon when needed.”
