I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 374 One vs. Two
Ron would not easily believe the other party's words. When he raised his hand, the ground shook.

Appearing at this time, the other party might be the devil that Su Fan mentioned earlier.

Take action first.

The mouse, or the manipulator, who saw through all this, complained bitterly.

"Don't persecute this poor rat. I am the most loyal fan of the Lord of Wind and Thunder. I swear on my most precious conscience that I have no intention of harming him."

The mouse jumped up and down, nimbly dodging the magic released by Ron's hands, using the surrounding trees and terrain to move around frantically.

Ron gradually began to feel irritated.

The rat jumped up and down, much more agile than the zombie, and was extremely difficult to hit.

Could it be that I can't even do such a small thing?

With this thought in mind, Ron simply began to accumulate strength while attacking, preparing for a range attack.

Perhaps the mouse sensed Ron's thoughts, and became anxious and spoke immediately.

"If you continue to tangle with me, the Devil's plan will succeed!"

"What a plan!"

Ron didn't stop, but his casting speed slowed down.

It was not until he heard the information coming out of the other party's mouth that he finally put down his hands.
-
In a villa about five kilometers away from the battlefield, Eddie, who had previously appeared and talked with Peggy and others, was inside.

His eyes were fixed on the sand table on the table in front of him.

What was originally spread out flat on top automatically gathered together, outlining a topographic map of the battlefield not far away.

A white human figure that seemed to be formed by smoke, and another black and ferocious demon riding a two-headed dragon were clearer.

The two sides collided and entangled with each other, and the battle was fierce.

But the fierce fight did not last long before things changed.

The figure in white mist holding a long sword attacked smoothly and with ease, and soon seized the initiative.

"Is this the new backer our family has found? Seeing is believing."

A voice came from the darkness beside Eddie, and the tone was quite emotional.

"No wonder they would abandon Lashe so easily and even offer up the head of the family."

Having said this, the man in the dark paused.

"Do you think Valak can win?"

"It's hard."

Eddie answered quickly, leaving himself almost no time to think.

His ability to recreate battlefield scenes allows him to scale them down and restore the demon's body and its mount, but he can only vaguely reproduce Su Fan's figure.

This alone is enough to show that the latter is more mysterious and powerful than the demon god Valak.

"It looks like we can only continue to wait."

"When?"

Eddie turned to ask.

"Wait until the head of this generation dies and the other party no longer has any affection for the family."

The person in the darkness sounded somewhat helpless, but not unwilling.

The Mayfair family originally started in Europe, but after World War I, they moved to America.

The owner of the family at that time did not want to give up the territory he had managed for many years, so he left the branch to continue managing it and allowed it to develop.

Today, the nominal branch of the Mayfair family has grown to a size that cannot be ignored, and naturally has some small ideas.

This time, on the surface, they were assisting Ron wholeheartedly, but in reality they wanted to see the latter's current strength and the situation of the mysterious exorcist behind him.

If he was not as strong as the information said, they would not mind detaining Ron in London and using the head of the family to control the elders.

However, it seems that the strength of the young people around Ron is indeed beyond their imagination.

It is neither incarnate nor split.

The great demon god descended in full force, but was still suppressed by Su Fan.

Judging from the current situation, unless a being at the level of the Demon King of Hell comes in person, no one below him will be able to defeat the latter head-on.

"It is not an exaggeration to call him a god among men."

Eddie murmured softly, and on the sand table, the black and white figures had almost decided the winner.
-
In the night sky, the warring parties finally stopped fighting.

Under the dark demon, the two-headed flying dragon had disappeared.

The mount that had accompanied Valak in battle for many years had been chopped off by the sword of the black-haired young man on the opposite side. It was completely dead and there was no possibility of resurrection.

And Valak himself had one arm chopped off.

Ordinary injuries cannot cause any harm to demons. They are immortal and extremely powerful.

Unless God is determined to destroy them, no one can take the lives of demons.

But now there is an exception. In addition to the almighty Creator, there is also a young man who has never been heard of, who can also do this.

And the other party is just a human being who was just born in this world, only twenty years old.

An indescribable feeling suddenly arose in Valak's heart.

Demons have existed from ancient times to the present day. When they take a nap in hell, human society undergoes a period of dynasty change.

Being so insignificant, they have always been the playthings of the devil.

But now, he was going to die at the hands of a human being.

Could it be that tens of thousands of years are not as fleeting as twenty years?
The stumps were unable to stop the bleeding, and their vigorous vitality was constantly drained away. Valak had never felt this way before.

The shadow of death loomed over His head, and He seemed to be able to hear the footsteps of death approaching.

A force that did not belong to any faction in the Bible pushed Him into a desperate situation.

On the other hand, the young man opposite was in a much better condition than Valak, but the sword in his hand slowly broke into pieces, leaving only half of it.

[I couldn't hold on any longer.]

Su Fan glanced at the sword in his hand and sighed in his heart.

Weapons made of ordinary iron cannot withstand stronger forces. He had previously strengthened them with spiritual power so that they could barely keep up with this level of fierce battle.

The break now can only be said to be expected.

"We still underestimated you..."

Valak's strength is by no means weak. During the battle, he demonstrated the uncanny ability to manipulate matter and transform into three states at will.

Even so, he was still unable to compete with Su Fan.

The long sword in his hand is not a holy weapon, but it is indestructible.

No matter how many changes Valak made or how strange his abilities were, he could not be defeated. Instead, all his methods were broken by a single sword.

"What the hell is that?"

"Demon slaying."

After a moment, Su Fan responded.

"Monsters, evil gods, demons, all evil spirits will be destroyed without leaving any chance of survival."

"amazing."

After a period of silence, Valak gave this comment.

"Perhaps I should have fought you to the death when we first met."

That day in the studio, He tried to save Malthus, who was also a demon god, but failed.

After seeing his death, Valak was shocked and wanted to kill Su Fan.

But at that time, Su Fan had killed a powerful enemy first and was in high spirits. Valak was not sure of victory, so he thought of waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Looking back now, that was probably the only chance to kill Su Fan. "Asmund... Baal... They never considered you a threat. They just told the demons to be careful of your special power that can kill demons..."

"But I didn't expect that in just one year, you could truly fight against the devil."

Valak is now not incarnated, nor is he restricted by the system of rules set by God.

It indeed arrived in its full glory, but was knocked to the ground by Su Fan.

"You are a real threat, a monster that shouldn't exist."

"Shouldn't exist? Haha..."

Su Fan did not deny what the other party said.

He has embarked on a journey of spiritual practice, and perhaps he really shouldn't continue to stay in the secular world.

But this group of demons who act recklessly in the human world should not appear here.

We demons can use our extraordinary powers to persecute humans, but you, Su Fan, cannot kill us demons in return.

Ultimately, it's the inability to accept that one's identity and power have suddenly been reversed.

The change in positions between hunter and prey is so great that even the devil cannot accept it.

"You can also kill me. My life is here. Come and take it if you have the guts."

Su Fan smiled, but there was no falsehood in his words.

The broken sword in his hand was covered with mottled cracks, but the sword light that extended from it exuded a terrifyingly sharp aura as it flickered.

Apart from looking a little tired, it was almost impossible to tell that he had just experienced a battle.

"I can't kill you."

Valak spoke, his tone filled with reluctance.

Malthus's death proved that he could not be defeated by conspiracy and intrigue.

But in a head-on confrontation, He is no match.

Neither his wisdom nor his strength could prevail, and he had no words to defend himself except admitting defeat.

"But my mission has ended."

After these words were spoken, Valak seemed to have lifted a heavy burden from his shoulders and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Fan could even see a bit of relief and satisfaction on that dark face, the result of retiring successfully.

The moment Valak finished speaking, many monasteries not far from here collapsed.

It was such a horrifying scene, but no human screams were heard from it.

All the believers who lived there and prayed and served God day and night had long been killed by Valak.

The land soaked with their blood cracked open, and a miserable and terrifying whistling sound came from it, as if the earth was wailing.

Thick blood gushed out from it again, like a high-pressure fountain, rushing up to the sky more than ten meters high and falling down, dripping like a bloody rain.

Amidst endless blood and filth, a gigantic black and red bird soared into the sky!

Its wings almost covered the sky, and when spread out, they were estimated to be nearly a hundred meters long!

As it flapped, a strong wind blew and the big trees that were still standing on the ground were broken in half!

"Come on!"

Tom was the first to realize that something was wrong and he shouted immediately.

The people who were originally using binoculars to observe the battle situation from a distance heard the latter's roar, quickly returned to the police car, turned around and drove in the opposite direction!
Albert, who was driving, had a tense expression on his face, while Charles, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked quite frightened.

"You saw that big bird, didn't you? What on earth was that?"

"I don't know."

Tom in the back seat looked nervous, biting his nails and was extremely anxious.

Katie seemed calm, but her hands were clenched tightly, already wet with sweat.

In Su Fan's previous plan with them, only the name of the ghost nun Valak appeared, and there was no mention of this strange big bird at all.

Obviously, the latter's appearance was completely beyond Su Fan's expectations.

Judging from the strange phenomenon of the bird appearing and the strength it displayed, the other party is probably one of the seventy-two demons, and his strength is not inferior to Valak.

The two never doubted Su Fan's ability. Even if the latter was separated into another space that did not belong here at all, he could tear it apart with his bare hands and fight his way back.

With careful planning, dealing with a demon is a sure win.

This is also the reason why they kept a relaxed attitude from beginning to end.

But now, the subsequent appearance of evil birds has changed the situation abruptly.

"We...can't do anything but run away?"

After his initial panic, Charles finally understood the situation.

The strong feeling of powerlessness made him unable to help but ask.

But the only response he got was Katie's unwilling voice.

"No……"

There is no room for mortals to intervene in the battlefield between demons and ascetics.

If we were present at the scene, we would only be a burden.

……

The bird, filled with a weird and ominous aura, came straight towards Su Fan, as fast as a comet.

Su Fan's heart sank, and he raised his hand and drew his sword.

Simply lifting and lowering it released a surging sword light like a rushing river.

It is like the water of the Milky Way pouring down from above.

The strange bird suddenly screamed.

A black torrent burst out from its wings, brazenly blocking Su Fan's sword light.

Neither force could do anything to the other, they exhausted each other and finally dissipated.

And the bird also came to the same plane as Su Fan.

The golden vertical pupils revealed the other party's identity as a demon. Before Su Fan could speak, the bird spoke in human language.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

The deep male voice was exactly the same as the one heard that day in the basement of the farm.

"Isn't it very unexpected?"

"What's the surprise? It's just another demon god."

How could a demon who knew Su Fan's past and still talked to him and tried to make a deal with him be an ordinary person?

Su Fan knew very well that he was loved by the Seventy-two Demon Gods and had already guessed the other party's identity.

But he didn't expect that the other party, like Valak, would break out of hell and show up in his true form.

But this is also a good thing. The main body comes directly to challenge himself, which means that he will not fight with Ron below.

"I guess you're worried about the little witch down there, but don't worry, I'm different from Valak and Malthus. I have no interest in that little character."

"I'm more interested in you, Su Fan."

The evil bird that rushed out of hell spoke.

"What is the limit of your power called Demon Slayer? Does the power that can kill demons mean that it can also severely injure God?"

“Or even the outer gods who don’t belong to this land can cause harm to it.”

"I will peel off your soul and examine the mysteries hidden within."
