Chapter 500: The Merciful Devil

Chapter 493 – Kind Devil

“Not a bad performance, but the ceremony hasn’t started yet so don’t relax too early, now repeat after me, not a single word is allowed to be wrong or no one can save you.” Enya didn’t leave Jinx any more time as the whole process was well thought out.

The fatigue of the long journey, the fear brought by the Devil’s Valley, and the pain brought by the preparation of the ceremony, these were just small appetizers to warm up the appetite, because the real pain was all still behind, that’s why it was necessary to paralyze the body and mind through these processes, otherwise the chances of directly opening the ceremony, and dying of pain or going crazy were too high, these were all the experiences of taking a life back.

The threat of death made Jinx, who hadn’t had time to catch her breath yet, steel herself before praising a demon lord called the Lord of the Gardens in song.

She didn’t know who the other was and why she was called by this name that wasn’t demonic at all, and now that Jinx didn’t have the extra energy to support her curiosity, she almost instinctively followed Enya’s teachings to complete the ritual in the exact state it needed to be in.

Demons were never benign existences, and no matter how one came into contact with them in any way one could not help but be affected by their chaotic and bloodthirsty nature, and thus the seeds of failure were often sown before they even began.

Hence the processes, using exhaustion and pain to make the newcomer give up thinking and complete the ritual in an almost instinctive manner.

It was only that the magic blood ritual Enya had prepared for Jinx was not the commonly used kind, and its degree of danger could not even be described as nine deaths, only that she didn’t say anything about it.

The original Demon Warlocks originated from the offspring left behind by those humans who made deals with demons, and because of the demon’s hand, the chances of success in fusing the bloodlines were higher.

Later on, the so-called Demon Blood Ceremony was more like trading or stealing, and the success rate of fusion plummeted.

In order to increase the success rate of fusion, the ceremony usually does not choose too strong demons, even if the talent is different from Rin, but at most choose high-level demons.

A magic blood ceremony like Jinx’s that targeted a demon lord was clearly looking for death, and could not possibly succeed.

But whether it succeeded or not didn’t matter to Enya, her move was just a test, a test at the cost of Jinx’s life and soul.

Thousands of miles away in the garden, Owen suddenly froze as he sensed a pure soul praying to him for the seed of power, which made him very curious.

Because the summoning authority was raised by the Abyssal Land, the ritual of praying to Owen for power to summon demons during this period of time was simply not too much, but after sensing the sinful soul with an evil purpose, he had no interest at all, and usually threw it to the demarcated demons to cope with it, and as for the result, who cares about that.

And right now was the first time he felt a pure soul praying to him, and without any evil purpose, it was hard not to arouse his interest.

It didn’t take long to ponder though, as it was a trivial matter to Owen, so he plucked a petal of a flower at his side, dripped a drop of the broth into it, and sent it on its way as a reward.

At this moment, Enya was very nervous, all the barriers that separated and shielded her breath in the sacrifice room were all opened by her, because this time she was messing with a Demon Lord, even if she wasn’t the one who directly confronted him, she still didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless, or else even a single glance might cause a serious injury to her.

This is the flaw of the Demon Warlock, as a half-human half-demon, they will also be affected by the influence of the demon rank, although not from unconditional obedience to orders, but to trigger the demonic power in their body to cause serious injury is a very simple thing. Right now Jinx’s behavior is just like a lowly commoner begging for favors from the supreme king, to the strict class, this move will be regarded as an affront to the king’s power, and will only usher in the king’s soldiers and the gallows, rather than a merciful reward.

Not to mention that the Demon Lords who were compared to the King were all tyrants of the highest order, so Jinx’s fate was predictable.

But the Garden Lord this demon is special, at least in Enya’s understanding is very special, only she dares not use her own life to test, so pure as a small lily like Jinx became her hands of the test.

When a huge flower petal appeared in the sky above the altar, Enya even held her breath, witnessing a ball of green gel like Slime fall from the petal like dewdrops, flying into Jinx’s body, healing the wound while also letting her body grow rapidly, at least it looked two or three years older than before.

The petals that completed their mission didn’t go to waste, turning into fragrant liquid that also integrated into Jinx’s body, and from then on, she could be a little fairy whose farts smelled good.

“Sure enough, my guess was right, the Garden Lord’s characteristic is surprisingly benevolent.” Even after witnessing what just happened, Enya still said in a tone of disbelief.

Every Demon Lord had unique and distinctive characteristics, such as the seduction of the Bathfire, the stench of the Stench Cloud, and the characteristic of the Garden Lord was surprisingly kindness, a word that couldn’t be said to be incongruous but only completely impossible to place on a demon, especially since this one was also a demon among demons, a Demon Lord in the guise of fear.

“No wonder this Garden Lord’s rituals always go wrong, it’s not finding the right trait!” Enya said excitedly to herself.

Sacrificing to an existence at the level of a Demon Lord wasn’t just a matter of offering flesh and blood and souls, unless the amount was large enough, otherwise, one had to find the right trick.

Just like giving things away, money was good, as long as there was enough of it, there was no one that couldn’t be smashed, the problem was the cost, so using the limited amount of money to buy things that the other party was more interested in, using 100,000 pieces to produce the effect of 200,000, had become a problem that the Demon Warlock had to consider studying.

As for the newly appeared Garden Lord, just by hearing the name, one would know that it wasn’t fierce enough, so not many people were studying it, let alone thinking about such absolutely irrelevant characteristics to demons as benevolence.

Coincidentally, Enya was in the middle of a period of boredom with life and was no longer interested in mere killing, which was why she was studying this one-of-a-kind Garden Lord.

After much research, Enya came to a bold conclusion, only too unbelievable and difficult to realize for a group of demonic warlocks, which is why Jinx was chosen, and now her suspicions have been confirmed.

“A benevolent demon.” Enya smiled as she found her future path, and at the same time she was well aware of the benefits of having a demon lord all to herself.

However, if the other party’s traits were truly benevolent, she was afraid that she wasn’t qualified enough, she still had a good idea in her heart of what kind of person she was, and it definitely didn’t have anything to do with benevolence anyway.

Thinking of this, Enya’s gaze fell on Jinx who was caught in a deep sleep, perhaps it was time for her to have a real apprentice.
