Apart from the Demon Gods, there were also a lot of legendary creatures in the Realm of Devils to help the Demon Gods with daily affairs.
Thanks to the jungle rules in the Realm of Devils, those Legendary creatures could keep a place under control even though they weren’t good at administration.
But of course, it was impossible for them to do a great job in developing the economy and infrastructure.
All the Demon Gods asked was that their subjects didn’t rebel every other day.
Therefore, the lords in the Realm of Devils were literal experts who were very good at fighting
Scorching Locke worked for Sidi, who mastered the desire of mating.
Pure lust was corruptive and irrational. Those who were enchanted by Sidi would mate until they died.
The lovemaking that the Goddess of Love was in charge of was regular and acceptable.
The difference was whether or not there was enough self-control.
In fact, neither the Goddess of Love nor Sidi had complete godhood.
It was because there was a third god who had the power of love.
Rose, the Spider Queen, was a neutral goddess who also had some power over lovers.
When their godhoods were combined, it would be the entirety of the power on reproduction.
It was just that the power had somehow been divided into three pieces.
Locke, as Sidi’s best fighter, always had special feelings for his boss.
In the Realm of Devils, the boundary between Demon Gods and Legends or Demigods wasn’t too huge.
After all, almost all the Demon Gods used to be Legendary Commanders or Demigod Commanders.
Locke wanted to be appreciated by his boss.
After all, Sidi was a real beauty in the eyes of all the species in the Realm of Devils.
Her powerful Demon God bloodline and her flexible body meant that she could carry the child of any species in the Realm of Devils.
So, after learning that his boss was bullied by a certain group of human beings, Locke had planned to march to the human world with troops to avenge her and see if he could win her favor.
He had even gathered enough materials to activate a portal.
Although Sidi was Locke’s master, she wasn’t as good at fighting as Locke was.
She was better at entrapment and escape.
So, even though Sidi was far weaker than other Demon Gods as an individual, she would soon return with a bunch of followers as long as she successfully fled disaster.
Also, most of her followers used to work for her enemy.
That was an awesome application of her abilities, which could be powerful even if they weren’t designed for battles.
Locke was very brave, but it didn’t mean that he was stupid.
No ordinary Mage could’ve frozen his magma with pure magic power and blown it back with a wind.
This human being was very strong and unlike those things he couldn’t kill earlier.
However, the magic power that the guy released was indeed on the Master level.
A Master-level human Mage could blow his magma ball back?
Was he hallucinating, or did the guy use a special trick to conceal his strength?
Scorching Locke was full of questions.
He instinctively felt that it was no good.
After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and ran off.
Everybody was shocked by that, including Roland.
He had never seen such a cowardly devil expert before.
The guy’s scent suggested that he was a Legend.
Yet, the Legend ran off after seeing five Masters.
He ran off!
Are you even a devil?
Barbion and his teammates wanted to ask him.
Have you forgotten how you brutalized us before?
Come on, keep on brutalizing us. Don’t run!
After a while, Barbion finally came back to himself and shouted, “Run! Don’t let him get away!”
Scorching Locke might look heavy and clumsy, but he turned out to be a fast runner.
He was even faster than Barbion and his team.
When the devil ran, the earth near him trembled noisily.
Barbion and the others were left behind. At this moment, Roland took action.
Because he had enough time to concentrate magic power, it took him only three seconds to develop a blue fireball two meters in diameter.
However, the enemy had already run far during the three seconds.
If he did not take action, the enemy would be beyond the reach of the fireball.
Without hesitation, Roland threw the fireball and controlled its trajectory with his mental power.
Barbion and the others saw an enormous blue fireball fly above their heads while they were running. They were all frightened.
Shoot!
They stopped chasing the enemy and started running back. Their turn-around was so sudden that two of them almost fell because of inertia.
Nevertheless, they ran back as quickly as possible.
While running, Barbion even shouted, “Shoot, give us a warning before you launch an AOE attack!”
His shrill voice was almost devastating.
Scorching Locke heard that too. He ran even faster.
At this moment, a patrol team appeared in front of him. They happened to be his men. He shouted, “Come here and protect me!”
They were a team of devils too, but they were much smaller than Scorching Locke.
Hearing their boss’s order, the patrol team instantly trotted to him.
Then, they saw a gigantic blue fireball flying at them. Because they approached Scorching Locke, he was very close to them.
Then, Scorching Locke grabbed one of them in each hand and raised them high as shields.
The blue fireball crashed down.
It was the same dazzling flash, followed by a violent explosion and surging flames. Scorching Locke and the patrol team were completely engulfed. That was not the end of it. The terrifying shockwaves swept across a radius of three hundred meters. Although Barbion and the others managed to run away from the destructive range, their hair was still flying crazily because of the blast.
Watching the rising mushroom cloud and feeling the burning air, all four of them fell silent.
Barbion couldn’t help but remark, “Although I’ve seen it many times, it was just a video on the screen. I didn’t know how dreadful it was until I’m faced with the explosion for real.”
His teammates nodded with unease on their faces.
A few seconds later, after the hot air dispersed, Barbion said, “Let’s go in together and capture the enemy if he’s still alive.”
The three of them nodded and simultaneously took bright iron chains from their system Backpacks.
The chains were thick and long, and attached to heavy hammers.
Roland watched them curiously from behind.

But Roland wasn’t curious for long. Very soon, the dust at the center of the explosion dispersed, and everybody saw the miseries there.
Scorching Locke was still standing, with two blackened bars of coal in his hands.
Beside Locke were twenty crispy corpses, some of which were still burning.
Scorching Locke had been completely blackened, too, nothing left intact.
But even so, he was still alive. He breathed heavily and dropped the bars of coal in his hands.
Although he was at the center of the explosion, Scorching Locke was a Legend with remarkable vitality. Besides, as a fiery devil, he was strongly resistant to flames.
That was why he could weather through the fire.
But even so, he was greatly damaged.
He looked at Roland with fear and then turned around to flee.
However, he ran much more slowly than
before.
After only several steps, two round hammers caught his legs with long chains behind them and pulled him to the ground.
He fell and raised quite a cloud of dust.
He was so enormous that he couldn’t rise quickly after a fall.
He was so anxious that he turned around and tried to see what was going on, only to find that the Golden Sons had stabbed a few long iron spears into the ground.
Even more unbelievably, they tied the back ends of the chains to the spears and soon created a solid stake.
Scorching Locke struggled to move his legs. The chains were straightened and even creaking, but they weren’t torn apart or off from the stake.
He struggled and tried to get back to his feet.
However, another two chains that were attached to hammers flew over and bound his hands.
Two pairs of humans dragged one chain and ran opposite each other.
Those people weren’t as strong as Scorching Locke, but he was so heavily wounded that he only had fifty percent of his strength left.
Besides, he was sitting on the ground, which wasn’t the best position to exert strength in. The result was that he was pulled to the ground and his hands were spread away from his body.
All of the devil’s limbs were stretched to the limits.
Then, Barbion and the others took out more spears and stabbed them to the ground, creating solid chain stakes. This time, it was impossible for Scorching Locke to struggle at all.
Roland was quite dazzled. He really wanted to compliment them for their creativity.
However, for Scorching Locke, it was the greatest humiliation. He roared, struggled, and cursed the Golden Sons from the ground, but everybody simply ignored him.
Barbion and the others came to Locke and poked different parts of Locke’s blackened body, before they said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that we could take down the boss so easily.”
“It’s because Roland was so good,” another player remarked. “He reduced a Legendary devil to such a state with one blue fireball.”
Barbion examined Scorching Locke and found a black stick on the guy’s neck.
He moved forward and plucked the stick out.
Scorching Locke was even angrier, but he had been tied up and couldn’t unleash his strength, so he could only glare at Roland.
“Oh, a piece of epic equipment.”
Barbion clicked his tongue and tossed it to Roland. “As we agreed upon, this is yours.”
The moment he grabbed the black staff, Roland found it quite heavy.
It was merely a small pendant for Scorching Locke, but for Roland, it was a long staff.
Their body sizes were too different.
Then, Roland opened the system vision.
Item: Scorching Locke’s Fiery Staff When its user performs melee attacks, it will automatically launch small fiery spells at the enemy.
There were also two special features.
Cost of all spells -10%.
Intensity of fiery spells +1.
The enhancements were quite good.
Roland looked at the staff and wondered if he could reshape it into a sword, when he saw that Barbion and the others had cut Scorching Locke’s body and let him bleed.
Scorching Locke crazily struggled and roared.
But it didn’t help. Although the chains were clanging, the four stakes to which his hands and legs were stuck remained still.
“You’re…”
“We’re dissecting him into materials,” said Barbion casually. “A devil’s flesh, heart, brain, and other organs are all rare and valuable magic materials.”
Roland was naturally well aware of that. But this devil was still alive. Wasn’t it slightly immortal and brutal to dissect him just like that?
As if he saw the confusion on Roland’s face, Barbion put a cup of blood in the system Backpack and said, “We’ve already investigated this guy. Locke took part in at least two human-devil wars. You wouldn’t want to hear the atrocities he committed.”
“Then do whatever you want.” Roland shrugged. If dragons could be dissected for materials, there was no reason why devils couldn’t. This was an equal world.
“Thank you for your understanding, haha.”
Barbion laid his longsword on Scorching Locke’s body and was going to cut downward, when all of them stopped moving.
At the same time, Roland felt like his head had just been smashed by a hammer, and the whole world was ringing.
It wasn’t even three seconds later that the noise in Roland’s ears and brain were finally gone.
Then, he saw a woman slowly descending from the sky.
She looked quite beautiful and holy.
The woman slowly landed on Scorching Locke’s abdomen and stood proudly. She looked around, then stared at Roland. “You’re not bad. You resisted my mind control.”
Roland was briefly dazed. He then looked ahead, only to see that Barbion and the others were not moving.
He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you? Get out of here.”
“We can’t move. Do you know why?”
Barbion sounded rather panicked.
Roland frowned.
“Although I haven’t completely overtaken their minds, their bodies have already surrendered to me.” Sidi looked at Roland. “You look very familiar… Let me see. Right, you’re Roland.”
She snapped her fingers, and Barbion and the others all turned around and gazed at Roland.
Their faces were all twisted, as if they were trying to resist something.
Roland couldn’t help but gasp. “Brothers, the system shows that your names are red.”
Red names were given to players in PK mode, or the enemies in a match.
To attack someone with a red name wouldn’t be punishable by the system.
“Something is wrong with this woman,” shouted Barbion. “Roland, you should run first, or kill us if you can’t.”
“How can he possibly run?” The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Others will laugh at me if he does.”
Transparent chains darted out of the void into the ground, locking this space. Then, the woman looked at the giant devil below her feet. “How embarrassing, Locke. I’ll give you another opportunity. If you fail again, you don’t need to be the Great Commander anymore.”
The woman cut her finger, and a drop of red blood dripped onto Locke’s body.
“Fight for me again, lowly dog.”
The woman slowly drifted back.
The drop of blood seemed to contain marvelous power. The blackened skin on Locke’s body fell away, replaced by fresh skin and flesh.
His muscles were also bulging like sponges.
This time, he easily broke free from the chains and slowly stood up.
“As you wish, Bitch Sidi.”
