The water falling from the ceiling extinguished the flames spreading everywhere in the hall, returning the space to its original dark and damp appearance.
Most of the flames had disappeared, but there was still a small flame shining in the hall.
It was the flames on the demon and Julius. The two of them were still burning with raging flames, and even after being splashed by the flowing water, the flames did not extinguish.
If the water could extinguish the demon, it would be great news for Julius. But he probably would not encounter such a good thing.
Even though the water covered the floor, there were still flames dancing under the demon's feet, and they were even burning in the water.
And Julius, the person closest to the demon, was no exception.
The water falling from the hole made him feel a little better, and he no longer had to endure the high temperature and the danger of evaporation. But the flames left on him by the demon were still burning.
Julius felt a little regretful. If he and the demon had confronted each other under the hole, he might have been able to enjoy the feeling of a water column falling from his head. In that case, his situation would have been better. Even though the demon was not afraid of water, at least the water could hinder him to a certain extent and provide a more favorable environment for Julius.
Old Black Robe, who had been observing from afar, was also shocked by this change.
He knew very well what was above the ceiling. There was an entire reservoir above. Although there was a buffer space in the middle, and even if all the water in the reservoir flowed down, it would not flood this place. But why did the water suddenly flow down? These holes should have been blocked long ago …
The old Black Robe had a terrifying thought: Someone opened the holes that acted as the gate. Who was it?
Who else could have such an ability?
He heard similar noises coming from other places. The sound of running water was everywhere, and it reached his ears.
The only good thing for Old Black Robe now was that he would not drown here, and the bad thing was that new 'guests' had come here.
Moreover, who knew what dangerous creatures this flowing water would bring? He even thought of the snake skeleton that had left the underground lake for some reason and was going to the reservoir.
If that monster came back … Black Robe already had plans to leave this place.
As for his companion, he didn't think that he would be able to persuade "him" when he saw how angry and fiery he was now. Moreover, he doubted whether "him" was still his companion, or whether "him" was still that young man.
It wasn't an easy task to make an Evil Demon descend and possess a body while making the Evil Demon obedient.
The devil's roar was so loud that it hurt Julius's ears. "You should be burned to death. Why aren't you dead yet?!" The devil's voice rang in Julius's ears like thunder.
Julius felt that his earwax was about to come out. Perhaps even his eardrums were about to be torn apart by his screams. Even his brain and blood were about to flow out.
"Are all demons as stupid as you?"
Julius did not intend to be at a disadvantage in the face of the demon's roar. He glared back and pushed the broken sword in his hand further.
He didn't know if the sword in the demon's body had completely melted, but from the feel of it and the demon's reaction, it should still be effective.
"You said you can't be killed. Then scram back to where you came from!"
Julius also let out a roar, and even the hilt of his sword sank into the demon's body. His hand was also inserted into the demon's body.
Even if the other party was a Evil Demon, it was only a Evil Demon that had descended and possessed a body. Its original body should still be that young Black Robe.
Therefore, Julius did not hesitate. Not only did he plunge his sword into the demon's body, but he also plunged his hand in.
His right hand held the hilt of the sword, and the fingers of his left hand formed a knifehand as he stabbed into the demon's body.
After his entire hand entered, his fingers bent and closed into a claw. He grabbed a certain part of the demon's body and pulled with force.
The demon finally let out a scream.
His screams seemed to shake the entire hall, and Julius was almost unable to hear anything.
"You lowly insect!" The flames on the demon's body were shrinking and becoming unstable. It was like a candle flame in the wind, about to be extinguished.
"You can't kill me!"
"Maybe you really can't kill me because I am still too weak … but your host is just a human. He can be killed!"
The flames on Julius' body did not weaken. Instead, they burned even more fiercely. The demon was also making his final struggle. He wanted to burn this mouse that dared to offend him.
The flames on Julius' body were already more dazzling than the flames on the demon's body. The raging flames engulfed Julius' entire body.
However, Julius did not stop. His hand continued to enter the demon's body.
"Your flames … are useless against me!" Julius endured the burning of the flames. Half of his left forearm had already entered the demon's body.
"Leave this place, demon!"
The demon let out a sharp scream – this was his last sound.
The flames on the demon's body were extinguished.
The demon that had turned from a raging flame into a candle flame finally lost his flames and returned to his original appearance.
The demon could no longer look down on Julius. The young black robed man returned to Julius' sight. However, his current appearance had nothing to do with being safe.
The young black robed man had Julius' broken sword on his chest. Julius' hand was also inserted into his body.
His face was gloomy and he was no longer breathing. He was already dead. He couldn't be more dead.
When Julius pulled his hand out, the sticky blood between his fingers reminded him of the feeling of his hand in the young black robed man's body. This made him feel very disgusted.
He wanted to pull out the broken sword, but he could only pull out the sword hilt. The body of the sword had probably melted. The molten iron had probably melted the young black robed man's body.
If the young black robed man could still live like this, Julius could only accept his fate.
He had once again won the gamble. This demon was not complete. The young black robed man should not have been willing to completely give his body to the demon. Therefore, the demon could only temporarily occupy his body and give him a layer of flames to protect his host.
However, he should not have thought that there would be someone like Julius who was not afraid of flames or death. He actually threw himself into the demon's arms and used a broken sword and a hand to tear his chest apart.
Julius pushed the young black robed man away. The young black robed man fell to the ground and did not get up again.
"What a troublesome guy. He almost roasted me." Julius gasped for breath and looked at the fallen black robed man one last time.
