Mil felt like he was about to spit blood from anger, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth:
"Jack! Let them go first, come at me if you have a problem!"
As he spoke, he vigorously winked at Jack, but Jack remained unmoved.
However, facing the surrounding Undead Golems, the crowd showed no fear; instead, they fought with even greater vigor, their morale soaring:
"Mil! This time, we will absolutely not abandon you again!"
"Classmate Mil! Lilith is still waiting for you to go back and marry her! You must not give up on yourself!"
"Gods bear witness, even if I burn to ashes here, I... will not let a living hero sacrifice himself before my eyes like this! Everyone, hold on! Never give up!"
Mil gave up. He decided to reveal his identity. At worst, Jack could kill them all!
But just as he was about to speak, Jack shrugged with a smile:
"The church people are indeed a bit tricky. Although I can't eliminate all of them, they also shouldn't expect to leave unscathed."
His cold eyes seemed to be filled with confidence in his strength. But when Mil recovered, he felt something was off:
"Are you sick? You're interrogating me at a time like this, so how can you be sure that what I say isn't a lie?"
"Oh... I forgot to tell you, it doesn't matter even if you lie. I'll kill you and enslave your soul later. The reason for torturing you beforehand is to strengthen the traces left in your memory while you're alive, to prevent your Undead from becoming an idiot later."
As he spoke, Jack's magic power surged, and piercing cold winds swept around him.
The surrounding Undead Golems also became more active, entangled in battle with the Knights and Holy Priests.
Seeing this, Mil was on the verge of going crazy:
"You're the idiot, you're a real idiot! Has everyone's brain been waterlogged? Can't you find a single normal person?"
Jack, however, calmly said:
"Of course, it would be better if you're willing to tell the truth. I'd also save some troops and let your dear classmates go. At the same time, the punishment for a traitor of the abyss like you would be lighter."
"Okay... I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, just get them out of here first! Or let's change locations!"
Mil racked his brain, but his classmates around him were all anxious for him:
"Mil! Don't believe his words, hold on! Believe that the Lord God will protect you, and glory will be with you!"
"If you don't understand, don't interrupt blindly!"
However, at this point, no matter what Mil explained, they would interpret it as him heroically sacrificing himself.
"Mil is still thinking of sacrificing himself to protect us! Classmates! Hold on! For our bonds and friendship!"
"Who's friends with you? And you're getting bonded?"
Actually, Jack was also very puzzled in his heart: which faction did Mil truly belong to?
But now it seemed, this was clearly a traitor of the abyss!
"Hahaha... your classmates won't leave! I can't do anything about it either. You wouldn't want them to know your true identity, would you?"
"Are you stupid?! It would be one thing if you could kill them all, but with so many people here, how could I possibly tell you?! Just let them go first!"
Mil was practically hoarse from talking, but in the eyes of his classmates, it seemed Mil was constantly trying to find a way to protect others and let them leave!
"Mil! We can hold on!"
Hold on to what? To a full stomach?
However, Jack seemed to have run out of patience. He waved his hand, his eyes suddenly turning cold:
"Alright, alright, the answer must already be etched in your heart. Then the judgment ends here. The rest... let your soul answer!"
As he spoke, his gaze locked onto Mil's throat, preparing to end this farce completely!
He suddenly raised his hand, and a flying knife cut a silver line through the air, accurately hitting Mil's throat...
A sharp pain struck, feeling as if muscles and bones were being peeled apart, followed by a metallic taste filling his nasal cavity, and blood pouring into his lungs, bringing a burning sensation of suffocation.
"Mil!"
Everyone shouted anxiously...
And the next second, the flying knife suddenly popped out of Mil's throat;
The wound on his neck, like a movie in reverse, began to rapidly reset and heal.
"Uh ah!"
From Jack's direction, a short roar came.
Looking over, Jack's throat suddenly burst open, and he collapsed to his knees;
At the same time, a crack opened beneath his feet, and purple flames shot into the sky...
Instantly, Jack's body was enveloped in flames, and his flesh began to shatter.
A ghostly green Undead figure escaped from Jack's body, rushing towards Mil;
And from that crack, three fiery red chains also pursued, chasing after Jack's Undead.
Finally, Jack's Undead was bound by the chains, desperately dragging him into the crack, while Jack, unwilling, crawled towards Mil;
He painstakingly grabbed Mil's ankle, and with pleading eyes, whispered:
"You... are you truly... the Demon God's Child?"
All of Mil's muscles tensed, and he desperately prayed that Jack's voice was quiet enough...
"Are you stupid?!"
Mil abruptly pulled his foot back, and the chains suddenly began to tighten. Jack then pleaded with his last ounce of strength:
"No... don't! Lord, forgive... me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the chains behind him had already dragged Jack beneath the crack.
Then, the cracked ground reclosed, and the crimson magic circle on the ground disappeared;
Tens of thousands of Undead Golems fell to the ground like puppets with severed strings.
Mil suddenly remembered that setting—a separate layer in hell for harming the Demon God's Child's sacred body.
This setting, besides preventing the Demon God's Child from committing suicide, also restricted all souls belonging to the abyss.
"Forget it, I'll come for you after I retrieve the chaos holy stone!"
It's a package deal!
The people nearby, seeing this scene, were stunned for a long time, then cheered joyfully:
"A miracle! It's a miracle! The Lord God, unwilling to see a hero suffer, personally displayed divine power! He cast the demon into hell!"
Mil, however, had a helpless expression. A bunch of blind people, how could this special effect look like a miracle? And the Lord God? Had these people converted to his demonic ways?
"Mil! Your bravery and fearlessness have moved the gods! We are all witnesses to the miracle you triggered!"
Everyone cried tears of joy, embraced each other, and cheered loudly, but Mil couldn't smile at all...
Just now, he had personally sent a hero unit down;
If these people hadn't come, they might have already started signing contracts by now.
Mil looked around. The Holy Flame Knight was gone, only Lilith stood with her arms crossed, seemingly having noticed something amiss?
The surrounding white mist also dispersed, and a village appeared in the distance. Several students who had been here before recognized it at a glance:
"Everyone look! It's Mian Ruo Village!"
However, the sky was still hazy, and the weeds on both sides of the road became sparser towards the village;
The surrounding trees had also lost all their leaves, and in the distance, body bags hanging from trees at the village entrance could faintly be seen.
