I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey

Lin Jie, a transmigrator, is the owner of a bookstore in another world. He’s kind and warm-hearted, often recommending healing books to customers who are going through a tough time. From time to time, he secretly promotes his own work too. Over time, these customers begin to respect him greatly, some even frequently bringing local specialties to repay his favor. They often seek his professional opinion when it comes to selecting books, and share their experiences with this ordinary bookstore owner to people around them. They respectfully and intimately refer to him using names such as the “Demon God’s Lackey”, “Propagator of the Flesh and Blood Gospel”, “ ‘Corpse Devouring Sect’s Rites and Customs’ Author” and “Shepherd of the Stars”.

Time To Sleep

52nd Avenue.

An explosion echoed, followed by the sound of a collapsing house.

Amidst the dark rain curtain, the streets that were part of the evacuation zone had been covered by fires one after another in the blink of an eye.

The silhouettes of the hunters passed by at high speed in the rain, leaving behind afterimages.

The ground in the middle of the street had sunk down and was cracked in a spiderweb-like manner. After another explosion it blew up:

"Boom!"

The sound of the whole house collapsing could be heard and a huge hole appeared. The stagnant water on the concrete floor burst down the edge of the hole like a waterfall.

Below the exposed hole was a part of Norzin's vast underground pipeline system. Because the upper city of Norzin is entirely made of steel, there were no larger patches of ​​soil and green space where the water could flow out, so once it encounters extreme weather such as right now, it would cause serious urban flooding. Therefore a reliable sewer system is an essential part of the urban design.

But before they could really see this underground passage that was like a mine, most people probably couldn't imagine that there was such a huge hidden space in the underground section of the upper city of Norzin, it had a depth of nearly fifty meters.

Of course, this part is a sink node since there is no way that the general pipe is that wide.

But below this place, it's a miserable hell.

The countless human limbs piled up like a mountain, the greenish water floating together with blood and yellow pus and the water flowing down from above washing it away and dispersing it making it give out a sickening smell.

"Are White Wolf crazy"?! Ji Zhixu took a deep breath, she felt a chill running through her spine and her hair standing straight.

Although she had been an active hunter all year round, was used to seeing life and death situations and having experienced countless fights, she had never seen such a horrible and terrifying scene before.

The impact is on another level.

Before that, she had known about White Wolf's current evil deeds which included massacres but she did not know that they were here like a slaughterhouse dismembering bodies.

Judging from the looks of this place, this had definitely been going on for a longer period of time. This… was maybe only one of their strongholds.

The hunters who had come to help had faced the human-like beasts. They roared like wild beasts and fought the hunters with their claws and fangs.

Ji Zhixu suddenly had a premonition of danger, and immediately jumped to the side several times in a row, avoiding the several crossbow arrows that had been fired.

It was almost like they fired a siege like-crossbow, a strong thick arrow, could be seen plunged deep into the ground, and you could imagine what effect it would have if it hit a human body

The flashing inscription on it symbolized the unusualness of this arrow. The White Wizard's Flashing Electric arrow rune! Ji Zhixu's pupils shrank, and immediately rolled to the side again:

"Be careful! The inscription carries small electro-optical devices"

The inscription lit up, with a small electric light. "Shish! In an instant, electricity fell from the sky, hitting the arrow, and several more. Shining thunder and lightning radiated out to the surroundings, and the entire area was covered by electricity.

The hunters who were affected did not even have time to scream and turned into a piece of coke, which fell into pieces and then turned to ashes.

Below, the tunnel that had been exposed by the water flow below dim light started to gradually show the outline of a clear array.

With the death of these people, the array lit up with a scarlet color that was getting brighter and brighter.

"Damn it!

Ji Zhixu supported the ground with the palm of her hand. Turning her head, she drew out her blade, raising her head she saw a tall middle-aged man in a black trench coat standing on the roof in the distance.

"Heris!"

"Miss Ji, long time no see, you seem to have gotten stronger again."

Khris spoke indifferently, then jumped straight down from the roof landing with a:

"Bang"

On the floor.

"Your luck is really good. Is it the bookstore owner the one giving you power? It's a pity, if not for the current circumstances, I would also like to visit that him."

He walked towards Ji Zhixu, step by step while gradually turning into a beastly form, his eyes giving out a cruel and chilling light.

"However, now it doesn't matter, I think he can't help you now, can he?"

Moreover, White Wolf hunters emerged from nowhere, they were on the roofs, streets, and houses. There was seemingly a lot looking at how densely packed it was.

Their eyes shone in the rain, like a pack of wolves lying in wait. The high levels of sordid blood making them several times stronger than before.

The illusion and pain that they were on the edge of dying gave them unparalleled will.

"They are the most efficient killing machines when they don't act" Ji Zhixu sneered.

"You are not summoning the rest of you to deal with us?"

"What an honor."

"After all, even the Secret Rite Tower does not receive such treatment, and my little hunter organization has only been around for less than a month, this is really great."

She hinted at the fact that the White Wolf does not dare to face the Secret Rite Tower and can only hide. But they had mobilized masses for this scattered new organization like them.

It's classic bullying.

Despite putting up a rather confident act, under Ji Zhixu's calm appearance, there was still a trace of tension and nervousness.

While she is confident that she can handle Heris, the other hunters in her group had just acquired "Rational Blood" and most likely couldn't handle the other White Wolf members that have been able to boost their power with sordid beast blood.

Now that the opponent had emerged with full strength, I am afraid that reaching the nest is out of our reach, and it may be even for the Secret Rite Tower.

I just want to pull more people down with me before I die.

This may be the end of the event triggered by the Egg of the Magic Ovum Mirror.

It's also the end of her revenge...

Ji Zhixu turned into a ferocious wolf with silver hair, her back towering like a mountain. Standing upright roaring her claws made deep marks on the ground.

She jumped up,

"Swish"

and crossed the space between them quickly biting into her opponent's back fiercely behind Heris. The sharp fangs instantly pierced the bones, and blood sprayed out.

The beast kills the beast, a tooth for a tooth and the blood for the blood.

Among the nodes of the underground passages in Norzin City, the beast-like aberration hunters had already completely lost their minds and followed the instructions to enter the "altar".

The scarlet lines that lit up in the center extended from each circle to the center.

"The secret heartbeat sounded in the underground of Norzin's upper city, responding to the thunder in the sky.

Lin Jie heard the rumble of thunder coming from outside, turned his head, and saw several bursts of lightning bursting down outside the window, like branches of light extending from the night sky.

"Norzin's ghostly weather is really getting worse and worse.

He frowned and closed the curtains.

The bedroom was bright and clean and even though he was soaked, the familiarity of the place he had lived in for the past three years made him feel warm. The only difference from 3 years ago being the long sword on his desk.

Because I don't worry about such a valuable thing, I just took it to the bedroom.

It's just evil.

At least that's what Lin Jie thought.

"One day I'll have to buy a sword stand and put it there.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening, he checked his watch, turned over, and lay down on the bed, looking up at the beautiful dreamcatcher.

Time to sleep.
