Rick couldn't even raise his head.
The other Dulliouds were also pulled toward Daemonium and forced to kneel before him by his energy.
Cesar charged toward them and beat them up. “F*ck you! How dare you rebel against us? I'll kill you!”
Then, turning to Daemonium, Cesar said, “Don't worry about these animals, Master. I will execute them personally.”
Despite facing death, Rick remained dignified. “You'd better live up to your words, Muraco. If anyone of us is alive,
we'll come after you!”
How dare you talk back to me when you're going to die?
Just as Cesar whipped out his dagger and prepared to slit Rick's throat, he was held back by Daemonium's energy.
Unable to move, Cesar glanced at Daemonium warily and asked, “Master, what...”
Daemonium berated, “You're not killing them without my orders!”
Despite feeling indignant, Cesar suppressed his anger and nodded obediently.
Master must have his reasons for sparing their lives.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaemonium began coldly, “According to the previous rules, anyone that opposes me will face death! However, I
can spare your lives if you answer me truthfully. Why does Zeke order you to stay here? What does he want you to
do?”
Rick and the others stared at Daemonium in shock. How does he know that we're here on Zeke's orders?
However, they had already made up their mind to pledge their loyalty to the Great Marshal. Unwilling to betray the
Great Marshal, they stayed silent.
“One more thing,” Daemonium continued, “What is beneath the river waters? Does Zeke have anything to do with
it?”
Rick and the others remained silent.
Angered by their response, Daemonium sneered, “Since you would rather die than answer my questions, I'll do as
you wish!”
With that said, he grabbed a Dullioud by the head and squeezed him. Following a loud cracking sound, the Dullioud's
head was crushed, leaving a mess of blood on the ground.
The other Dulliouds went pale.
Even Cesar's heart skipped a beat at the horrifying sight.
Daemonium is so cruel! He crushed a man's skull with his bare hand!
Glaring at another Dullioud, Daemonium said, “I'll give you another chance. Tell me, and I will spare you from the
same fate.”
Fearless and determined, the Dullioud retorted, “We've sworn to follow the Great Marshal and never betray him.
Keep dreaming if you think you can get any information from us!”
Rolling his eyes impatiently, Daemonium simply crushed the Dullioud's skull and killed him.
“You!” Daemonium pointed at another Dullioud. “You're next!”
“I'll never tell!”
The next Dullioud refused without thinking.
In fact, the reason for their determination was not that they were loyal to Zeke.
More importantly, they were worried that Zeke would take revenge on their families if they betrayed him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo them, it was a better deal to sacrifice themselves in exchange for their families' safety.
Running out of patience, Daemonium yelled, “If you still refuse to say, I'll kill all of you, and I'll make sure that you
won't have an easy death! I'll torture you slowly!”
Seeing that Rick and the others refused to surrender even if it meant death, Daemonium was about to strike when
Cesar suddenly interrupted, “Master, why not you let me try something? I might be able to get information out of
them.”
Daemonium narrowed his eyes at Cesar. “Even I can't make them say a word. How do you think you could?”
Cesar hurriedly replied, “Master, my trine worms are the most suitable for interrogation.”
Out of all of his tactics, Cesar was most proud of his trine worms. However, ever since Daemonium insulted the
trine worms, Cesar had been unhappy about it.
Now that he had the chance to prove the trine worms' ability, he wouldn't miss it.
After pondering for a while, Daemonium finally nodded. “All right. I'll let you try.”
Rick and the others tensed up as they knew what the trine worms were capable of.
Once the trine worms entered their bodies, they would become Cesar's puppets and do his bidding.
