The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 175: The Beast Under the Moon, But It’s a Beast

"3558, 3559, 3560..."

Sena was counting silently and meticulously.

Because there are no convenient props such as watches and mobile phones to check time in this world, this is the only way to know the exact time, and it is also the case with her personality.

As time passes little by little.

Senna frowned and her expression gradually became serious.

The originally ordinary entrance to the novice dungeon, a passage where moonlight could not penetrate, now exuded a cold and damp atmosphere, like a ferocious evil ghost that was devouring people.

In fact, two people have already been 'devoured'.

"3600... Although no more mysterious monsters are emerging from the dungeon, they have not come out by the agreed time. It seems that those two... Zun Zun and Sato Kazuma have probably met with an accident."

These words made the remaining members of the team look worried.

Sena turned around and said to the adventurers in the town: "Everyone, a mysterious monster has appeared in the dungeon this time. I don't know who the real mastermind is, so I need your help. Later, I will let the guild give you the corresponding rewards. Please help me!"

She quickly took command of the scene, asking the adventurers to form teams of two or three, and plan to sneak into the dungeon to find out the cause.

Darkness stepped forward at this time.

"Lord Sena, we have to go in as well. However, our main purpose is not to investigate the cause, but to search. Our team members have not returned, and we are also worried about them."

"Lord Dustinis... well, you all have high-ranking jobs, so you don't have to worry. Also, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, I would also like to do that... I hope Lord Dustinis can find them, after all, the two of them are the vanguard."

"I will."

Darkness nodded.

On the other side, Aqua was screaming.

"No! I don't want to go down! I don't want to go into the dungeon again! If I go in, I will definitely be thrown in again! That's right, and there will be a lot of undead monsters chasing me!"

It seems that she was traumatized by the fact that Satou Kazuma pretended to leave her alone in the dungeon when they sneaked into it before.

“Mei, Huihui, are you going in too?”

"Isn't this natural, Youyou?"

"But you'll just be in the way if you go in. It's better for you to wait outside. I'll go ..."

“I don’t want to! Zun Zun is trapped in the dungeon and his life is uncertain. How can I wait here? He must be waiting for me to rescue him! Yes, I am Hui Hui, the best person in the Crimson Demon Clan who can manipulate explosion magic! I can definitely rescue Zun Zun, just wait and see!”

The more she said this, the more worried Youyou became.

After all, the power of explosion magic is exaggerated. If it is released in a dungeon, one can imagine what will happen.

Just when Yunyun was about to persuade Huihui not to act rashly, everyone turned their heads to look at the dungeon entrance, and Aqua stopped crying at that moment...

No, it suddenly became quiet.

It was as if there was no teacher in the class, and the noisy classroom suddenly became inexplicably silent in an instant.

then--

With a bang, a figure flew out from the dungeon entrance.

"Respected?"

"Zunzun!"

Huihui and Youyou saw the figure clearly and hurriedly tried to catch him, but they didn't expect the momentum to be too strong and in such a rush, the three of them rolled into a ball.

“Ah, huh?”

"this is……?"

Darkness and Sena were confused.

Aqua straightened her nose and said with a disgusted expression: "It stinks! This stench is killing me! It really stinks!"

Before he could react.

A strong sense of oppression came from the dungeon, and the aura it exuded was terrifying. Everyone present... except Aqua, was trembling slightly, with a look of fear on their faces.

They all looked towards the entrance of the dungeon.

It seems like some terrible monster will appear there.

Snap, snap, snap——

The unhurried footsteps seemed to step on their hearts, but just when everyone wanted to escape, the monster revealed its true form under the moonlight.

“…Kazuma!?”

The momentum dissipated instantly.

It's like telling you that there is a scary monster called the King of the Forest in this forest, but when you see its true form it turns out to be just a ridiculous large hamster, and all your excitement and fear will disappear.

"Mr. Kazuma, are you okay?"

“…Don’t go over there!”

Zun Zun stopped Sena who wanted to go forward to comfort him, and said with a serious expression: "Kazuma... is now possessed by a demon!"

"demon……"

"Possessed!?"
Everyone shouted in unison.

As if responding to him, Sato Kazuma... no, the devil opened his arms in the moonlight, and the half-black and half-white mask exuded all his evil.

“Hahahahaha————! Listen carefully, my name is…!”

"Holy Exorcism!"

“Ahhhh————!”

When Sato Kazuma was introducing himself, Aqua launched a sneak attack without any moral principles. Sato Kazuma, who was hit in the face by the purification magic, screamed in pain.

Darkness was dumbfounded.

“Aqua, why did you attack Kazuma?!”

"That's a demon. How can I ignore the demon here? And it stinks too much! This is indeed the stench of a demon. Kazuma, you're really something. You already stink of scum and garbage, how could you be stained with this kind of filth?"

Aqua is a goddess.

The goddess hates demons the most.

Sato Kazuma felt extremely painful, clenching his fists with gritted teeth. Not only was Vanir injured, but he also suffered a considerable impact. He really wanted to punch her!
But the show must go on.

"No, you are the infamous useless goddess as expected! You are actually an idiot for sneaking up on me when I was introducing myself!"

"That's annoying. You have to be polite in front of a demon. What nonsense are you talking about..."

After that, the two were silent for a while.

"Holy Exorcism!"

"too naive!"

Aqua cast magic unexpectedly, but Sato Kazuma jumped to the side to avoid it at the critical moment.

“Kazuma, why are you hiding? Just stand there and don’t move!”

"If I don't jump away, you'll kill me, you idiot! What skill did you use?"

Sato Kazuma spat back angrily, but then seemed to realize something and coughed twice.

"Ahem... Let me introduce myself again! I am the Duke of Hell and a great devil who is one of the leaders of the Demon King's army, Lord Vanir! When you see me... me, you should kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy!"

"What? A mere demon dares to be so presumptuous, stop kidding me!"

Aqua cursed in dissatisfaction, and then attacked again. While the two were fighting, Sena hurried to Zunzun's side.

"Sir, what is going on here? That person is indeed a wanted Demon King Army cadre, the clairvoyant demon Vanir, who possesses powerful foresight and prophecy abilities. Why would such a ruthless character appear in a place like this?"

The pale-faced Kingdom Prosecutor said this in a voice that almost sounded like a scream.

Zun Zun explained, "Vanil came to investigate the people who defeated the Dullahan, a cadre of the Demon King's army, and Kazuma...he was possessed by Vanil because of me."

"how come!?"

Sena had a puzzled expression.

She seemed to have no faith at all that a mere scumbag like Kazuma would be willing to be possessed by a demon for the sake of others.

…She guessed right.

But Zun Zun did not lie. Sato Kazuma was indeed possessed for Zun Zun (because he said he was popular with the succubus big sister), but his purpose was a little impure.

“But this situation is not easy to handle.”

"Ah, indeed."

Normal demons cannot withstand Aqua's purification magic, but the Dullahan is not affected thanks to the armor bestowed by the Demon King. The same is probably true for Vanir.

In addition, Sato Kazuma has an unusually flexible body.

He moved back and forth around Aqua, teasing her as if he were playing with a stupid goddess, making her scream with anger.

Soon other adventurers joined the battle.

"How dare a mere Kazuma be so arrogant..."

“That’s right! Kazuma is just a low-level adventurer. We are not afraid of him at all!”

“The devil is also an idiot for possessing Kazuma!”

What they said was pretty harsh.

Sato Kazuma lowered his head slightly, and an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth under the shadow.

"You weaklings, with ranks but no skills, let me teach you what a true adventurer is."

Vanir possesses Sato Kazuma's body.

The two share vocal cords.

Therefore, for the adventurers, it is impossible to tell whether the words they heard were said by Satou Kazuma or Vanir. However, this does not prevent them from being angry with Satou Kazuma.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Surround him!"

"How dare a mere Kazuma be so arrogant."

"Kazuma is indeed a scumbag!"

They started shouting and cursing at the same time.

Big fire.

Veins bulged on Sato Kazuma's forehead under the mask, and his nimble fingers kept moving as if he was doing warm-up exercises, and then he suddenly rushed towards one of the adventurers who surrounded him.

“Steal——!”

A flash of light appeared, and the shield in the opponent's hand was instantly stolen. In the moment when he was stunned, Sato Kazuma pressed his left hand on the opponent's face.

"Touch of absorption!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The adventurer groaned, then collapsed to the ground.

"This, this is..."

"My physical strength..."

"No! We can't surround him, or he will defeat us one by one!"

Zun Zun shouted.

Sato Kazuma may seem to be an adventurer of the lowest level, but he is actually not afraid of being besieged because he has a magical skill that can absorb physical strength - Absorbing Touch, which does not consume any physical strength at all.

Just a few minutes.

On the platform outside the dungeon, all the adventurers who besieged him were lying on the ground unable to move, including many adventurers of high levels and advanced professions.

"How, how could..."

“Kazuma is so strong!?”

"D-Don't we have to rely on sneak attacks and tricks to defeat Mitsurugi?!"

Everyone looked in disbelief at Sato Kazuma, the only person standing in the field, who was trying to look cool with his fingers inserted in his temples and making strange poses.

"——I'm so high!"
