Snowlyme

Home/ Devil / Chapter 108

The wall of the cave was much smoother than he imagined, almost as soon as he got in, he couldn’t help but slid down and fell heavily on the solid ground. Ji Huan was stunned by the scene he saw before him:

The end of this hole turned out to be a huge room!

A huge room with countless cages!

Most of the cages are empty, and there are only three…four cages with people or, to be precise, demons.

When seeing the last cage, Ji Huan suddenly held his breath.

Among the several demons of varying heights, and physique next to him, he was so inconspicuous, but Ji Huan saw him at a glance.

The whole body of that demon was grey and black, almost blending into the background, there was only one thing that made it a bit revealing: the small pink scarf around his neck.

However, it was this little scarf that made Ji Huan finally confirm the identity of the little demon.

Xiao Hui!

Forcing himself to calm down, Ji Huan carefully observed the situation in front of him, and then realised that there was a metal pillar in the centre of the cage, all four of which were hollow in the middle. Each of the four demons, including Xiao Hui, wore a thick metal ring on their right wrist, which was embedded in the hollow position of the pillar. The range within which the four demons can move is limited by that pillar.

All the demons looked numb.

A small group of grey demons crouched inconspicuously in the corner, holding a tattered metal stick in their hands.

Among them, holding the metal rod firmly in front of his chest, the little grey devil nestled there motionless.

It seemed that someone threw another card down from the top of the head. 

At this moment, the metal ring in the hand of one of the demons suddenly separated from the metal pillar behind him, and the demon was pulled forward with a numb face. After he left, the metal pillar was sent to the ground in an instant, and there were only three demons left there.

Ji Huan suddenly understood what was going on.

This is where the “cards are placed”.

All the demons corresponding to the cards are tied here. When someone throws a card, the metal rings on their bodies will be separated from the metal pillars, and they will be thrown onto the battlefield instantly.

Apparently, the little grey devil is also one of the cards.

Feeling sore in his heart, Ji Huan softly called the little grey devil’s name.

“Xiao Hui” This was the first time he formally called out the little grey devil’s name.

“Xiao Hui” Ji Huan called again.

This time, the little grey devil finally turned around, with his blood-stained little face full of ferocity. However, the moment he realised that the person behind him was Ji Huan, the expression on that little face instantly turned into disbelief.

Ji Huan quickly crawled towards the little grey devil, and in the next second, he was squatting in front of the other person.

The little grey devil had wounds all over his body, and Ji Huan hardly dared to touch him for fear of hurting him, so he could only comfort him with words.

“…Have you stayed in this place for so long, are you afraid?”

The little grey devil wanted to say that he was not afraid, he was very courageous, after so many days, not only did he not let a single monster successfully eat him, but several monsters were eaten by him.

However……

Contrary to what he thought in his heart, the little grey devil felt his head stiffly nodding up and down.

“Hey, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, we are here to pick you up.”

Ji Huan is not a very talkative person, and his comforting words are also simple and almost rigid. However, it happens that the little grey devil listened very seriously, and his two small ears pricked up. He greedily listened to Ji Huan talking to himself:

“…Not only me, Abu is also here, as well as Adan, and Naji whom you haven’t seen before… We’ve come together to find you, and we will go home together…”

“So, don’t be afraid.”

Ji Huan’s voice sounded over and over again in the ears of the little grey devil, the hot air constantly sprayed against the ears, and his pointed ears moved, and then, he couldn’t hold it any longer——

Tears and snot poured out of the eye sockets and nasal cavity at the same time, and the little grey devil cried silently.

The metal rod that had been tightly held by the little demon fell to the ground.

Struggling to stand up next to the metal pillar, the little grey devil cried and stretched out his two thin arms towards Ji Huan.

Ji Huan hugged him instantly.

No longer worrying that his hug would hurt the child’s wound, Ji Huan hugged him tightly!

“Does it hurt?” Ji Huan asked him in a low voice.

The little devil shook his head, then nodded again.

Ji Huan gently stroked the little devil’s little head, repeatedly.

“Close your eyes, don’t be afraid, I’m right by your side, we’re together, we’ll always be together.” Pressing the little devil’s head tightly into his arms, Ji Huan spoke to him like this: “Don’t be afraid, if a card was thrown, I’ll go out with you.”

The little devil in his arms hugged him even tighter.

Although he is small, his strength is much stronger than Ji Huan’s. Ji Huan felt that he was about to suffocate in this hug.

But…….

With such a nervous hug, the little guy must be terrified.

Touching the little devil’s bony back repeatedly, it was the first time that Ji Huan clearly realized that this was still a child.

The comfort and security brought by Ji Huan’s touch far outweighed the pain. Slowly, the little grey devil really closed his eyes in Ji Huan’s arms.

The movement of demons and monsters outside was still terrifying, but his heart strangely calmed down.

It’s not calm like stagnant water before, but a kind of… tranquillity?

With his thin cheeks pressed tightly against Ji Huan’s warm chest, the little devil felt peaceful for the first time.

This was the first “hug” he got in his short life.

Ah… that’s why that Hei Dan likes “hugs” so much, right?

“Hugs” are really comfortable.

Huddled in Ji Huan’s arms, the little grey devil quietly counted Ji Huan’s heartbeat.

The surroundings were still full of danger, but at this moment, he didn’t want to resist anymore, he huddled in Ji Huan’s arms, and the soft and obedient little devil closed his eyes, and the only person holding him was left in his world.

It’s so comfortable…

In the crazy fighting arena, Ji Huan and the little grey devil quietly waited for the final moment to arrive.

——

Inside the maze was a battlefield filled with blood and smoke, while above the maze, in the towering compartments, these are the “gods” who control this battlefield.

“Nifaya!” Another card was thrown out from the box.

Nifaya, this is already a high-level monster card. Once a monster of this level is released, at least half of the other cards in the field will die.

“Wall.” Someone just played a card unreasonably and used a limited card.

A high wall was instantly erected in the maze, just blocking the position where “Nifaya” was about to appear.

The owner of the Nifaya card was furious.

The owner of the next box took the opportunity to use the “Mountain” card to completely crush Nifaya to death.

“Torres!” Another high-level monster card!

Now there are not many cards left in the hands of each box owner, and everyone was considering whose cards could last until the end.

This kind of card competition is not only about luck, but also depends on tactics and sorting combinations. Previously, Lenny had several pretty good cards in his hand, but unfortunately he played them too early and was defeated by other people’s medium cards.

Guess what cards other box owners have in their hands, use their own cards to test other people’s cards, eat the other person’s cards… This is the correct way to play this game.

The one with the remaining card in hand at the end wins, but it’s only limited to demon or monster cards, not the obstacle cards.

Another four box owners have finished playing their cards one after another. However, the cards in their hands are not considered a loss. The cards they played are still in the maze. If they can be kept until the last moment, it will be considered a win.

Now only two people are left who are still playing the cards.

One is the box in the southwest, that female box owner with a hoarse voice.

The other one is the eastern box, a box owner who has never said a word from beginning to end.

The female demon glanced at the only card left in her hand——

No matter how big other people’s cards are, they are not as big as the cards in her own hand!

Feeling overwhelmed, she threw out the last card in her hand and shouted at the same time:

“Devil King!”

The biggest card in the audience was released in an instant.

As soon as the “devil king” came out, the demons and the monsters that were still fighting fiercely in the arena immediately began to flee one after another. They were killed by the “devil king” one by one, including a very powerful monster that the female monster had thrown into the arena before.

However, as long as the “devil king” can survive, that monster is basically useless, right?

Ten minutes, only ten minutes have passed, and there is only one card left in the arena, “Devil King”.

The female demon in the box smiled, and said to the owner of the box in the eastern box, who had been silent all the time: “What card do you have left? Take it out.”

The devil king is still in the arena. For a card of this level, even status cards such as floods and raging fire can’t limit its power. In any case, the final winner of this game must be herself.

The smile on the face of the female demon grew bigger and bigger, but at this moment——

A snow-white card was suddenly thrown down from the eastern box, and the owner of the eastern box still didn’t speak. All the demons who didn’t know what the card was, could only watch the card slowly fall from the sky to the floor, and then—

A big cage suddenly fell from the sky, trapping the last demon in the maze.

“Catcher.” A card that can restrain a demon or a monster with a cage. If there are many of them in the field, only one of them can be restricted. However, at this point, only the devil king remained in the field, so the chances for the devil king to be captured is 100%.

“Hahahahaha! Great reversal, great reversal, but what should we do now? The devil king is not dead yet, but he can’t get out. How do we judge the winner?” A loud laughter came from one of the boxes.

“It’s not difficult. In a few days, let’s see if the devil King will starve to death first, or if the catcher gets broken?” This is a demon from another box. 

Seeing that there is no winner, the other box owners have become the ultimate winners, and their mentality is relatively relaxed.

However, at this moment——

“Little soldier” This box owner had stopped playing cards a long time ago, but suddenly a card was thrown out of the southeast box, and everyone looked in that direction instantly, but that person was——

Black hair and black eyes, that demon named Firzaha?

“You, aren’t you out of cards?” the female demon exclaimed loudly.

The black-haired male demon shrugged casually:

“It’s just that I have no good cards to play, but there was such a small card…it was difficult to get rid of it before?”

Looking up, he smiled slightly.
