Soul echo

Chapter 792 The Truth
"A demon...how could it be a demon?"

Everyone was stunned, and the priests silently raised their shields and recited prayers.

The wreckage of the building fell with the rain of blood. Seeing that the deadly stones and planks were about to fall, the magic spells jointly cast by the priests propped up a shield and sheltered all the demonstrators.

"Brothers and sisters, prepare for battle!"

Lily raised her arms high, clutching the ax and spear tightly in her hands.

Then, she took a step forward and rushed towards the demon first.

After her, the mercenaries filed out.

They took out all kinds of weapons, but the first thing they took out was a bomb.

After running to the optimal throwing distance, the mercenaries threw bombs one after another. Although the demons would not stand still and let them bomb, they would not foolishly throw all the bombs at the same position.

The bombs dropped in stages almost filled the vestibule of the mansion, and the blaring explosions hit people's eardrums driven by the dazzling flames, making them panic.

"no need to worry!"

Priest Eldrick, who was standing among the crowd, raised his hands and loudly appeased the crowd: "We are right here, that demon can't hurt you!"

After dropping the bombs, the mercenaries quickly took out their crossbows and muskets. For them, something that could kill the enemy was a good thing.

A strong wind suddenly blew up the smoky vestibule, and the demon flapped its wings and leaped high.

Relying on the memory that just appeared in the soul, it condensed flames in the palm, and the flames swirled to form a fireball

But the next moment, the sound of gunfire and the sound of the bowstring snapping sounded at the same time, and arrows and bullets flew towards him, crashing into the demon's body one after another.

"Ah!"

The demon roared mournfully, and the fireball in its palm exploded suddenly, injuring itself.

One wing was shattered by bullets and arrows, and then licked by fire. The demon who had just appeared was severely injured.

At this moment, Lily smashed through the dust, violently swung the ax spear that was dragging backwards, and hit the side of the falling demon with a horizontal slash.

The demon screamed again and stretched out its claws to grab Lily.

The sharp claws kept enlarging in the pupils of her eyes, but Lily didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. She suddenly exerted force with her arms and pulled out the ax embedded in the demon's muscle.

Bang!
A huge shield crashed through the side door, pushing the demon aside.

Another holy light descended from the sky, covering Lily with a shield and hitting the demon hard.

The ax and spear in her hand danced a rotation to increase the kinetic energy, and then Lily slashed at the position between the demon's shoulder and neck. The sharp ax blade instantly tore the demon's tough skin and muscles, and cut off the bones.

The huge kinetic energy crushed the demon to the ground, but its wings and body were still writhing, trying to break free from Lily's grasp.

--Suck!

Lily inhaled suddenly, and using the technique taught by Zhong Ye to raise her whole body strength, she pulled out the ax stuck in the demon's body again.

The demon roared with his mouth open, and fierce sound waves spewed out, making ripples on the holy light shield.

It stood up on the ground with its undamaged hand, but saw an iron boot suddenly enlarged, and then suffered a heavy blow to the face.

Seeing the demon's burly body fly backwards, Lily stomped her foot, dragged the ax and spear, and charged.

Her soul suddenly burst into light, and the power called "extraordinary" came to her body, so the superpower of "strengthening the body" activated every cell in the body, and the huge power flowed out like a river.

Lily jumped high, swung her ax and spear to the ground, and on the ground below her lay a demon.

"drink!"

The deafening drinking was just a foil, and the axes and spears fell from the sky like meteors, bombarding the earth.

The demon's torso was detonated in an instant, and blood and flesh spurted out, spilling all over the ground.

The rest of the power poured into the ground, and the violent movement seemed to spread violently, even knocking down a few demonstrators who were not standing still.

A huge crater was formed under the ax spear, the torso of the demon was blown off, and the head flew more than ten meters away. It is not necessary to think that it will definitely not survive.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lily lifted the ax and spear, put her other hand on her waist, straightened her back and asked the ruins of the mansion, "Are there any living people?"

Although there was a rain of blood when the demon appeared, Lily reckoned that there should be no one alive, but just in case, she still asked.

"Sister, it's so far away, even if someone hears it, they can't answer!" The mercenary next to him sighed and pointed to the ruins of the mansion in the distance, "Now that the house has collapsed like that, even if there are still living Man, he must be seriously injured, how do you reply?"

Lily thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right! Then I'll go and have a look!"

As soon as the words fell, Lily walked towards the ruins, and the Great Shield mercenaries didn't stop shouting.

The demonstrators outside the walls of the mansion looked confused, and they didn't know what to do now.

Originally they came here to protest and demonstrate, but the house of the speaker has collapsed, and there is a high probability that the speaker will not be able to survive in this situation, so what should they do now?
"Everyone!"

At this moment, Dennis spoke again.

"Although the speaker is dead, the status quo in Venice has not changed. We need someone to lead the city and oversee the city's reforms. I think I am the best candidate!"

At this time, there should be no hesitation.

After hearing the news that those congressmen chose to bow their heads, Dennis understood that those congressmen were no longer of one mind with the speaker, and they had left the interest group of 'factory owners'.

That being the case, after they reacted, they would compete with themselves for the position of speaker and power.

Common people are forgetful, as long as the factory owners make a gesture and apologize to them 'sincerely', they will forgive the factory owners for what they did before-although they have no other choice but to forgive.

Even if some people continue to resent, civilians are a 'group', and only as a group can they have power. Individual resentment cannot affect the group, so when the group has made a choice, no matter how resentful the individual is, there is no way to affect the factory host.

Although Dennis wanted to gain power himself, wouldn't it be better for him to gain power than to let those congressmen who only lowered their stance on the surface but actually still dismissed or even hostile to civilians gain power?

When Dennis and the demonstrators were speaking, Lily was already close to the ruins.

She picked up the ax and gun, and scratched at the ruins of the building, "Is anyone still alive?"

Lily yelled three times in a row, but didn't hear anyone answering, so she shrugged her shoulders to the large shield mercenary who followed, "It seems that there are no living people."

However, at the next moment, a faint voice came from under the ruins, "Help, help..."

Lily and the large shield mercenary were stunned at the same time, and cast their gazes over.

"There are really living people..."

Other mercenaries and a few clergymen came over. Hearing Lily's words, a priest stepped forward and cast a magic spell on the ruins.

The magic showed that there were indeed a few lives under the ruins, but now their fire of life was like a candle in the wind, and it might be extinguished at any time.

The faces of the clergymen instantly became serious, and they looked at the many mercenaries, "Everyone, please help us!"

Before the other mercenaries could react, Lily nodded, "Yes!"

"Miss!"

Lily didn't listen to the persuasion, she stuck the ax and gun to the ground, bent down and picked up a big stone, and threw it aside.

In the words of those players, she is an extraordinary person with the attribute of 'strength'. It is not a problem for her to clean up these building debris, and she can do it casually.

Seeing Lily's appearance, the mercenaries looked at each other, sighed, put down their weapons, and stepped forward to help.

Perhaps it was because she was like this that they chose to follow behind her.

It took about ten minutes for the mercenaries and priests to clear out the building debris and successfully rescued several living people who were crushed under the ruins.

Two people failed to persist until the moment they were rescued, and one died just after being rescued, and only one of the remaining people remained conscious.

Lily knelt down beside the sober man and asked, "Do you know what happened to that demon just now?"

"Lord, master..." The sober man replied in a low voice.

"Your master summoned it?" Lily frowned slightly.

"No, it's not..." The sober person seemed a little out of breath after saying these words, and couldn't continue talking.

However, he still chose to continue talking: "That... is the master..."

Hearing this sentence, everyone present was stunned.

Lily froze for a moment, raised her head and looked at the clergyman opposite, and both saw the astonishment in the other's eyes.

——How could a human become a demon?
