#210 - Section 210
“In the next few days, don't let the Baron overwork. After three days, he should fully recover,” Harlen said casually.
The butler nodded and took out a bag of gold pounds to give to Harlen.
Having received the money, Harlen didn't linger and left the castle directly.
Although he had saved the Baron's life, he was, after all, just a small doctor.
Continuing to stay here wouldn't yield any other benefits.
Therefore, there was no need to waste time here.
Harlen got into the carriage and headed back towards the town.
Bang!
Suddenly, a muffled thud came from the carriage.
Immediately afterward, the entire carriage shook violently.
The horse that was galloping in front seemed to be frightened and stopped abruptly.
“What's wrong?”
Harlen, with a bewildered expression, leaned against the inside of the carriage, somewhat at a loss.
He cautiously lifted the curtain and discovered that the coachman had already fainted.
Harlen's face was filled with panic. Just as he was about to shrink back, a hand grabbed him and pulled him directly out of the carriage.
“You, who are you!”
Looking at the strange man in front of him, Harlen tremblingly took out a bag of gold pounds from his body and handed it over with a flattering smile.
“You want money, right? Don't hurt me. You can have all my money.”
Rhode glanced at him upon hearing this.
This kid is quite the pragmatist.
Unfortunately, he wasn't robbing for this little bit of money.
“I'm not interested in money, but I am quite interested in that guy on you.”
That guy?
Harlen couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart upon hearing this.
Could it be that this guy can see the Grim Reaper?
The thought had just arisen when Harlen immediately denied it.
After all, no one else besides him has ever been able to see the Grim Reaper.
Just as Harlen was thinking of finding a reason to perfunctorily dismiss this guy, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
He saw a figure in a black cloak, holding a huge scythe, slowly appearing behind Rhode.
Harlen's face was full of disbelief.
This was the first time he had seen the Grim Reaper appear in front of someone else.
He watched as the Grim Reaper wielded his scythe and silently slashed down towards Rhode, but this guy didn't seem to notice anything.
Swish!
At the moment the Grim Reaper's scythe slashed down, a flash of white light passed.
The man in front of him had instantly disappeared.
The next second, he directly appeared behind the Grim Reaper.
Boom!
Fierce flames exploded, and Rhode, holding the chain blades, walked out of the flames, covered in fire.
The Grim Reaper, who had just been aggressive, flew out like a tattered sack.
“An ambush?”
Rhode's lips curled up, his smile quite playful.
He was even more certain of his thoughts.
He directly flung the chain blades in both hands backward.
Clang!
The chain blade burning with fierce flames collided with the scythe exuding the aura of death.
The chain blade flew back, and the Grim Reaper holding the scythe was also knocked back several steps.
The flame burning with spiritual energy spread upward along the Grim Reaper's scythe, instantly engulfing the Grim Reaper's entire body.
As the black cloak was burned away by the flames, the figure under the cloak was completely revealed.
“Eh?”
Rhode raised his eyebrows, his eyes somewhat surprised.
What the heck is this?
Red skin, two sharp little horns, and a slender tail behind him, along with a pair of red wings.
He looked a bit like a demon, but he didn't have the crazy aura of a demon.
“Devil?”
Rhode muttered softly.
He thought of the demon's close relative.
If demons are chaotic and disorderly destroyers who only know how to kill and destroy,
then devils are insidious and cunning, evil creatures who love to play with other people's souls and emotions.
Their favorite thing is to turn beautiful things into pain, and then watch with pleasure as those humans struggle in pain because of them.
There is no reason, purely for the sake of pleasure.
And pain, to them, is like spiritual food, allowing them to feel pleasure spiritually.
The moment he recognized the devil's identity, Rhode understood what had happened before.
Why this guy would attack that ordinary family.
This guy's purpose was purely to create pain.
To make already poor ordinary families even more miserable.
“That's quite a twisted taste.”
Rhode stretched his shoulders, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
“I can't control you in other places, but if you mess around in my territory, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.”
Swish!
With a wave of his wings, Rhode's speed instantly reached its peak.
The devil, with a cunning look on his face, only felt a blur in front of him, and the figure was already close at hand.
Boom!
The flames burned, and two chain blades strangled like flood dragons.
The devil's figure flashed, about to use magic to evade this attack.
But he suddenly discovered that the surrounding space had become extremely chaotic.
His confident expression slightly stiffened.
“A barrier?”
When!
The devil, unable to react in time, was instantly pierced by two chain blades and severely injured.
“Pathetically weak.”
Rhode retracted the chain blade and walked towards the devil.
Both demons and devils are races proficient in magic. He had long guessed that this guy might have mastered some kind of space magic, just like the succubus he had encountered before.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, he had already set up a barrier around the area.
Any space-based magic cannot take effect within the barrier.
“Human, how about we make a deal?”
Seeing Rhode getting closer and closer, the expression on the devil's face gradually became flustered.
Never before had he been so close to death.
“Money, beauties, power, I can give you anything you want.”
Before the devil could finish speaking, Rhode interrupted him.
“Confused.”
Rhode's mouth curled up, looking at the devil with mockery.
“Even you aren't my opponent. Do you think I would need you to fulfill my wishes?”
Compared to these so-called wishes.
He was more interested in this devil.
He wondered what kind of gift he would receive if he sacrificed this guy.
Swish!
With a wave of his wings, Rhode's figure instantly appeared in front of the devil. The Chaos Blade transformed into a long knife, directly cutting the devil, who hadn't even reacted, in half.
With the blessing of demon breaking, his attacks possess powerful lethality against dark creatures like devils.
The devil, cut in half by a single strike, let out a wail, but didn't die immediately.
Instead, he waved the scythe in his hand with a fierce expression, slashing down towards Rhode.
Rhode glanced at it and directly pinched the blade of the scythe with one hand.
The devil's physique isn't as strong as a demon's; his abilities are just a bit strange.
Even if he didn't block it, this strike wouldn't cause him any harm at all.
“Hehehe, you've been tricked!”
Just then, the devil, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly let out a treacherous laugh.
The next second, Rhode felt a powerful devouring force surge from the scythe in his hand.
It was frantically devouring the life force from his body.
The devoured life force flowed into the devil's body along the scythe, and the body that had been cut in half healed at a visible rate.
At the same time, the terrifying suction force erupting from the scythe tightly adhered to his palm, making it impossible to break free.
Feeling the continuous stream of life force being devoured, the expression on Rhode's face was quite calm.
