fallen devil

Chapter 51 A Scene of Storm I
The overwhelming battle ended immediately, the bone spear cut through the struggling vines, spattering black blood.

Yan Bentian in front of him was vomiting blood, was stabbed in the shoulder by the fallen female gunman, and fell down in front of Tang Ze.

"···"

Looking at this "loyal" subordinate, Tang Ze regretted his naivety.

[Seed of Greed] Even if it is infinitely useful, it would be difficult for him to control a heroic druid with his strength at that time.A professional like Iwamoto Ten, after breaking free from the shackles of the "hitomi stone tree", why should he be willing to be a cow and a horse for himself?
True loyalty does not lie in compliments. After obtaining two special servants, he was slightly aware of Iwamoto Ten's little thoughts.

It was precisely because he was more understanding of human nature than Ishiki Hitomi that he gave Ten Iwamoto the chance to escape.

"I am disappointed."

He was succinct, but disappointed was referring to two aspects.

On the one hand, Iwamoto suppressed the backlash of [Greed Seed] and tried to escape.

On the other hand, this druid thought that he could sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight by going to the half-dead pupil stone tree.

The result is natural, such little cleverness cannot escape under the power.

"My lord, please, please kill, kill me—"

Yan Bentian coughed up a mouthful of blood sadly, and buried his head in the soil in front of Tang Ze's feet. He didn't dare to raise his head, fearing that the effect of [Seed of Greed] would become stronger.

The desire to die is obvious, and Tang Ze is a little confused. Iwamoto can be controlled by the Hitomi Stone Tree because of the "Green Devil Curse", but he can't serve him because of the "Greedy Seed". Maybe there is something that he doesn't understand.

It's interesting how people's hearts change.

Tang Ze stared at Ten Iwamoto at his feet, narrowed his eyes, and thought that he could give it a last try.

"Your vision is too narrow, Iwamoto Ten."

Very standard Canduran language.

Although it was just a bluff, Karasawa clearly saw Iwamoto's body stiffen.

"Honor hides in the shadow of power, and cursing and spitting are just weapons for the weak to protect themselves."

"There are too many worthless things, exaggerated reputation, false praise, dirty justice, etc. You and I both know that the pursuit of the ultimate power is definitely not the case."

Is Ten Iwamoto bound by honor and dignity, or is there some other reason?
"Furthermore, everything you have ever obtained will be inherited or taken away by those who come after you."

Tang Ze let go of his frowning brows, and said lightly.

Buried in the shadows, Iwamoto Ten's pupils shrank suddenly, which touched a certain string in his heart.

"There's only so much that Camp Rogue can give you, and I can give you these too."

Tang Ze waved his hand, "Even more, including power, including dignity, including glory, including truth."

After a long time, Iwamoto, lying on the ground, grasped the mud on the ground, and then slowly let go, and then said: "The ultimate goal I pursue is to protect my family. This is the root that drives me to become a professional and kill demons."

"You're right. Someone will succeed me. He makes me feel at ease. I'm sorry, my lord. She is very happy now, and I am very satisfied."

Tears gradually oozed from the corners of his eyes, with pain and complexity, as he clenched his fist hard, the broken stones mixed in the mud pierced into his palm.

"Thank you for helping me lift the green devil's curse and giving me a new life, but I have already repaid you by helping you repel the necromancer."

"Now it's time for me to abide by my old promise: Iwamoto Ten cannot succumb to the darkness. Even if he becomes a fallen person, he cannot be completely swallowed by the shadows."

What Tang Ze didn't know was that this was the oath that Tenen Iwamoto and Mathigal made in front of the stone statue of Akara and the angel when they got married.

Follow it no matter what.

"I see."

Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at the muddy druid in front of him for the first time, and couldn't help admiring his will and loyalty.

Facts have proved that the power of [Seed of Greed] has not lost its effect, and Iwamoto Ten is still loyal to him.

It's just that he somehow beat the controls.

On a real analysis, love, honor, persistence, and will are all factors for him to resist control.

But in the end, the reason why this druid defeated the control, practiced escape, and asked for death at this time was that he had nothing more to want.

The tragedy called Iwamoto Ten is enough to draw a successful conclusion.

Without the emotion of greed, the effectiveness of [Seed of Greed] is minimized.

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord."

Sensing the pressure on his head easing, Iwamoto felt grateful that Karasawa understood his persistence.

Looking up, under the gloomy rainy sky, Tang Ze's red and black figure was extremely tall, exuding a strong deterrent force.

"New message: It is detected that the target has planted [Greedy Seed], do you want to release [Greedy Projection] repeatedly?"

"New message: The skill [Greedy Projection] was successfully released, and the number of [Greedy Seeds] -1"

A tide of darkness swept in, and Iwamoto found himself falling into the abyss in horror, and countless dark colors completely blocked the faint light above his head.

At the moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear a low voice.

"I don't like crap."

"Since the old Iwamoto Ten is dead, you can just serve me as the new Iwamoto Ten."

···
After quelling Yan Bentian's defection, Tang Ze gained a lot.

Although the half-dead zombie tree is the clone of Hitomi Stone Tree, it has no intelligence and just attacks nearby creatures like ordinary monsters.

If it is allowed to grow, it may become a new pupil stone tree.

I tried to use coercion to subdue him, but unfortunately I failed.

After killing the zombie tree, some boxes were found under the nearby big tree, which contained equipment, which was a surprise.

Under Tian Iwamoto's leadership, many new zombies were captured, and there were also a few pieces of equipment that could be used.

Tang Ze picked the two best pieces of magic equipment.

Iwamoto Tian also provided two other strongholds of zombie trees (Hitomi Stone Tree clones). After completely clearing them, he also obtained some useless whiteboard equipment or unused blue equipment.

For example, [Swift Staff], [Immortal Wrist Sword], [Ordinary Leather Armor], etc.

The fallen female gunman beside her was treated as a temporary warehouse, with a lot of equipment hanging on her body, her face expressionless.

The sweep ended soon, and the heavy rain that lasted for a day and night gradually subsided, and the deep night gradually spread purple light.

Dawn is about to break.

Current number of zombies: 120/200.
Glancing at the panel submitted by Iwamoto Tenda respectfully, Tang Ze nodded, concluding the review.

"Master, the three nearest pupil stone tree strongholds have been eradicated. Although there are still a few left, it is not worth the loss to start again at this time."

"It's about time."

The druid looked up at the night sky.

The black feathers were blown by the whirlwind, and the crow flew down from the night, and landed on his shoulders, his icy eyes fluttered.

Croaking.

"My crow found out that there are quite a few Rogues led by professionals, and started to sweep away the demons and look for traces of the cemetery."

"At this time, it is best to integrate the fallen demon team and take the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the scattered professionals."

"To disrupt the steps of Rogge's camp, we can specially find a place far away from the cemetery to make them fall into the fog."

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows with great interest, and said bluntly: "So, you have already chosen your target?"

"Yes, two barbarians, an Amazon, and fifteen Rogue archers."

"There are not many opportunities for this kind of looting. Well, if the owner has a better choice..."

Realizing his transgression, Iwamoto was startled, and lowered his head in fear, and the power of two [Seeds of Greed] bound him firmly.

"I trust you and leave immediately."

Tang Ze looked calm on the surface, but he let out a long breath in his heart. He couldn't come up with any good ideas.

He is not a good strategist.

He didn't know the strength of Rogge's camp, and he didn't have good detection methods, which was why he insisted on controlling Iwamoto Ten.

Only by taking the druid in front of him for his own use can he have the confidence to launch a counterattack against the professionals.
