Three days ago, outside the demon clan’s nest.

Pedro pushed open the stone door and walked into a building like a tombstone. As the light source on the wall lighted up, a stone staircase extending downwards in front of him was revealed.

At this moment, he looked tired and dragged heavy steps, but what he really felt tired was not his body, but his spirit.

This was the first time he felt frustrated. When he was besieged and died five hundred years ago, he looked down on the humans at all, thinking that they defeated him by number and were simply unfair.

But now, there are not many humans, and he tried his best to kill two people. When he wanted to use his ultimate move and decide the outcome in an instant, he was interrupted by a knight who came out of nowhere.

This is nothing, the key is that this knight has an extremely strange long sword that can actually pierce the god-level armor he is proud of, and in the end he has to stop.

This incident not only scared him into a cold sweat, but also shocked his arrogant heart.

Not to mention how the demons will view him after they learn about this, even if they don’t hold him accountable, he will not be able to forgive himself.

“Um…”

At this time, the huge magic power he had squeezed was still surging in his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.

With this humiliation suffered on the battlefield, Pedro couldn't help but feel like he wanted to die, so that he would no longer have to bear spiritual pain. However, as a Dark Knight, his faith in loyalty to the Demon King still defeated the unbearable humiliation.

Pedro concentrated on his energy and forced the discomfort feeling in his body. Then, he took off his helmet and threw it on the stairs. The fresh air that poured into his nose finally made him feel better.

With the help of the light source on the wall, you can see the face under his helmet, which is a vicissitudes of a man in his forties.

He had short black hair, his slightly frown brows, his eyes were full of fatigue, but he could still vaguely see the lion-like eyes. His nose was high and there was a circle of stubble on his mouth, which looked quite elegant.

If he appeared in the human world, ordinary people would not be able to see that he was a monster at all, and his heroic face would be favored by some noble ladies.

After a few minutes of walking, Pedro finally arrived at the bottom of the nest, which was an empty room with eight stone pillars standing up, and five sarcophagus arranged in cross shapes near the wall.

A few months ago, Pedro woke up from one of the sarcophagus, and before him, two sarcophagus had been opened. It can be clearly seen that one of his colleagues, as well as the leader of the demon clan, the Demon King.

However, Pedro had no clue about their whereabouts, and the awakened Demon King and another Dark Knight left no clues.

Based on Pedro's understanding of the Demon King, if he wanted to declare war on mankind immediately, he would definitely summon all the Dark Knights and monsters first, but now it seems that the Demon King is not in a hurry to do so.

Since that's the case, Pedro was happy to be idle, so he thought of sending his monsters to harass human towns first, and then taking the opportunity to restore all his strength.

But the final result was a crushing defeat. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Lord Demon King was here and saw his failure, he would definitely not have the best results.

At this time, he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

However, Pedro suddenly realized that there were other people present in this empty room. He quickly observed the surroundings before finally finding a figure leaning against the stone pillar, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing whether he was napping or thinking about problems.

"Alison?" Pedro recognized him.

As a demon god, Allison was so scared that he heard his boss's voice. He quickly shook his head to wake him up, and then said with a respectful look on his face.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't have time to welcome your return."

Pedro knew that he was one of the eight demons. Originally, the eight pillars in this room were carved with statues of eight demons, but they were not stone, but the body of the real demon. Just let the statue get a little blood, and the demon will wake up and turn from the statue into a body.

Now, there are only five statues left on the stone pillars here, which means that in addition to Allison, there are two demon gods who have awakened, at least before him.

Regarding the Demon King, his colleagues, or the other two demon gods, Pedro did not know when they woke up, maybe a year ago, or decades ago.

In short, the only information that can be mastered now is that the Demon King did not order a general attack on humans, so Pedro would not act rashly, and the daytime battle was just a warm-up.

However, this battle as a warm-up became the first iron plate he got.

Therefore, he would inevitably think too much about Allison not coming out to greet him, or whether he had not sent troops to support him before.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had misunderstood. Allison had no idea about his misfortune. How could he have any objections to him?

"Well, Lord Pedro, I have something to keep in my heart, I don't know whether to say it or not." Allison's words interrupted his thoughts.

"What are you talking about? But it's okay to say it." Pedro showed his generous side.

This is one of his principles. No matter what he has encountered, he will not transfer his anger to his fellow tribes.

"You won't fail, are you?" Allison looked straight into his eyes.

"...ah? Why do you think so? I... I just went out for a walk and didn't go to war with humans. Where did I say that failure come from?" Pedro explained with a panic look on his face.

"Haha, Lord Pedro, I didn't say that you failed in the war with humans." Allison hugged his arms and said jokingly, "Are you talking about yourself?"

"Tsk," Pedro continued to defend himself, "What's the point of not asking for advice? Are you talking to your boss?"

"Yes, I can apologize for this, but how should you explain the defeat of human beings?" Allison looked fierce, as if he was clearly trying to hold him accountable.

"I..." Pedro wanted to speak but stopped, after all, he did do something that insulted the demons.

"Hmph, I'm sorry for offending, but I have to say that you have become a shame to the demons. If you are a little conscious, you will not take the initiative to go to war with humans. I have already made plans. If you can act according to the plan, it will definitely not be the current situation."

Faced with the blame from his subordinates, Pedro couldn't say a word.

On the one hand, this is how they are. Although they have superiors and subordinates, each member of the demon can speak freely, of course, except for those monsters who do not have wisdom.

On the other hand, Pedro did fail, and he felt ashamed, so he was speechless.

"So, where is Craken's arm? Have you taken it back?" Allison asked him with a more severe expression.

"Craken? Who?" Pedro was stunned.

"……Well."

Not only him, but even Allison looked at him with a surprised expression, he was stunned.

His thinking stagnated for a few seconds, and finally a fire of nameless rose from the bottom of his heart.

"My Lord Pedro, you...ah, I'm speechless."

Allison felt furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Pedro, so he could only cover his face helplessly.

"Ah... I really haven't heard of Craken. He can't be some demon god, right?" Pedro said with his head scratching.

Allison returned to his normal expression, but he decided to explain to Pedro patiently.

"Yes, you guessed it right, he is one of the demon gods, and you should know... I'll say it myself. In short, the power of our demon king is not complete. Our eight demon gods are the key to the demon king's complete power. Kraken woke up long before us. Later, he didn't know why, but he was left with only one tentacle, and was even preserved as a specimen in the hands of human nobles. Alas, it's a shame to say that if he hadn't had any use, I would have killed him with my own hands."

"So that's it," Pedro nodded, but he soon discovered the flaw, "Since you know he's there, why didn't you grab him back?"

"…uh," Allison couldn't help but have a cardiac arrest when he heard him ask about this, "I, that, didn't I say I should act according to the plan? So I thought I would come back first to make a foolproof plan, but I didn't expect you to go to the human town alone. Didn't this disrupt my plan?"

"Haha, is this really the case?" Pedro stared at him with a torch.

Allison was guilty, but he would never tell the fact that he had failed, but even if he said it, he felt that he was understandable.

"Okay, I'm showing up. I admit that I failed to rescue Craken, but I'm just a minion, and it's understandable to fail, but what about you? The Dark Knight was defeated by humans. Do you have the nerve to blame me?"

However, Pedro said angrily, "Anyway, you are also the best in the demon race. You are ashamed of your failure, rather than asking me for trouble here."

"Wow? So, you have no guilt for your failure, but you just want to hold me accountable."

Allison is not willing to be outdone. After all, if you want to say who caused more damage to the demons in this conflict, Pedro must be ranked first.

Speaking of this, the atmosphere between the two sides became awkward, and the whole room fell into a deadly silence.

"Oh," Pedro thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "Let's do this, just listen to me. No one of us is allowed to say this failure. This will benefit us, how about it?"

"Hehe, this is such a good idea," Allison immediately smiled and said in a threatening tone, "then let's say that this is our secret. If you tell me Pedro, I won't give up."

"Are you threatening me?" Pedro said calmly.

He knew very well that the strength gap between the demon god and the Dark Knight. The so-called demon god is just a relatively powerful existence among the demon clan, and the strength of the Dark Knight is second only to the Demon King.

"Hmph, each other." Allison did not comment.

At this time, a short monster suddenly emerged from the mural on the wall. It was Babu, who was a wise species but didn't look very smart.

There is no doubt that he listened to the conversation between Pedro and Allison throughout the whole process.

"Hehe, Lord Pedro, I heard that you actually defeated humans. I am so disappointed. I want to tell everyone about this."

Bab said intermittently, and the disdain for Pedro could be clearly seen from his demented face.

Allison couldn't help but feel happy. Indeed, according to the agreement just now, he could not tell what Pedro had defeated to mankind, but there was a third person here, so it would be fine if this person said it.

By then, Pedro will definitely be ruined. Allison knew very well that if the Dark Knight made a major mistake, he might be replaced, and his armor and magic sword would be deprived.

Once Pedro's qualification is cancelled, the next Dark Knight can only be chosen among the eight demons.

Now that Craken is still in the hands of humans, another awakened demon god is gone, then Allison is stable.

However, the next scene completely cut off this idea.

After hearing Babu's words, Pedro frowned and his eyes became fierce, and then released a small fireball from his hands.

The fireball was only the size of a palm, but the moment it touched Babu, it swallowed up his entire body. In the end, the poor Babu turned into a ball of ashes before he could even scream.

"Hmph, I know what you are thinking," said Pedro after he finished speaking. "It seems that you don't understand yet. No matter who reveals this, I will regard it as breaking our agreement and telling all members of the demon clan about your failure. In short, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, so don't be lucky. In addition, I have to remind you that if you hadn't just said that the demon god would help the demon king to gain full power, your current fate would be like this idiot."

"Yes, I...I understand." Allison nodded quickly.

This was the first time he felt glad for his identity as a demon.

"Hmph, just understand," Pedro continued with his hands wrapped around his arms, "Then let's think about how to save Craken."

"Hehe, I have planned this." Allison smiled mysteriously.

He actually expected Pedro to fail because he knew the personalities of these dark knights too well and always looked arrogant because he had god-level equipment.

At first he thought that humans were powerless, but what was the result? He was defeated by a witch and an ordinary boy.

So Allison speculated that since Pedro went to the human town alone, with the wisdom of this young man, Craken's arm was destined to be unable to be taken back with his arms.

So in the final analysis, we must first kill the boy, and then the dragon and the witch beside him, and Allison designed a trap for this.
