My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 533 - 353: Demon July Weeps (Part 3)

Xue Dili silently observed the terrified humans, unsure of what these people, living in Hell, had gone through to react in such a way.

They seemed to be completely captive, subjected to various fear stimuli daily, as if they were terrified and tormented like startled birds, even when meeting a kind-hearted soul, their first reaction was to assume it was some new form of torment by a demon.

Yet Xue Dili held no grievance towards them, as those living in this Hell were likely already insane, no longer "humans," but merely livestock providing fear for the demons.

People around him were also fearfully moving further away, like encountering a new demon and daring not to approach.

Some already retreated in terror to their shabby wooden huts, locking their doors, seemingly trembling behind them.

Is this what it’s like to live under demon dominion?

Xue Dili would not blame these people because, from just these reactions, he understood the kind of torment humans endured in Hell.

But as Xue Dili strolled amongst these people, he suddenly noticed a little girl who seemed unfearful of him, silently holding a yellowed poster.

She seemed to be less than eight years old, filthy as if she hadn’t bathed in a long time, and living in this region, how could one possibly bathe?

"Are you the superhero here to save us?" the little girl said, holding up the poster.

It was a movie poster with promotional art for the film "Superhero Squad," but it had long since yellowed and faded, as if someone had repeatedly played with and rubbed it.

"Fool, run away! Quickly hide in the room!" suddenly a voice came from a nearby house.

When Xue Dili looked over, the door shut heavily.

Yet the girl before him seemed not to hear this, she truly resembled the "fool" people called her, speaking to herself.

"Mom said superheroes would definitely kill all the demons and save us."

"What about your parents?" Xue Dili asked the child.

She didn’t speak but silently looked at a blood-covered sewing machine beside her.

"My mom and dad were eaten by it." She pointed silently at the sewing machine.

"Boom!" At that moment, in the distance, a mechanical demon with fleshy long legs simultaneously noticed Xue Dili’s presence, stepping towards him, each move of the demon resembling an earthquake.

Once again, Xue Dili felt the fear of those hiding in their rooms, all of it converging onto the distant mechanical demon. The iron gears on its chest, entwined with flesh, emitted a piercing sound.

"Why do you think I’m a superhero?" Xue Dili didn’t pay attention to the mechanical demon and instead earnestly looked at the little girl.

"Because demons fear superheroes! Because superheroes will surely battle and triumph over demons, just like in the movie when Flame Hero descended from the sky and killed the demon!" the little girl raised the movie poster high.

And at this moment, without controlling his muscles, Xue Dili instinctively revealed a relieved smile.

"Thank you, because soon, the superhero will come." Xue Dili smiled as he patted the girl’s head, then looked towards the distant mechanical demon.

An 80-meter-tall colossal machine, covered in flesh; despite possessing only Quasi-Tier Five power, demons are indeed immortal and indestructible. A Quasi-Tier Five immortal demon, with its twisted and hideous form and earth-shattering steps, instilled even greater fear in the villagers.

Still, they could only hope, even though they didn’t know what to hope for. After disaster struck, they were taken here; they’ve hoped for the World Government’s army, hoped for God, hoped for heroes.

Yet, what was granted was limitless despair and fear instead.

Now this hope was merely wishing that this time, it wasn’t themselves being tormented, but someone else.

But this time...

"Boom!"

Carrying terrifying flames, Flame Man descended from the sky, and the mechanical demon, which had incited terror night and day through countless nights, was thoroughly destroyed.

Xue Dili did not linger; he began advancing immediately towards spots where more humans were gathered.

In this Hell, tens of thousands of human survivors still lived.

...

The demons throughout Hell seemed to begin stirring, chasing after Xue Dili.

"Looks like the human demons are starting to act." Xue Dili chuckled, and in the next moment, hundreds of various demons appeared around him.

These were the weakest demons, like doctor demons, tree demons, eyeball demons, gun demons, and the like.

In his demonized state, Xue Dili easily slaughtered them.

However, more and more demons began appearing.

Gradually, they were no longer merely roadside demons; stronger demons emerged.

For this was Hell, the origin land of demons; when this source was seized, demons of Demon King Level could naturally sense it easily.

Increasingly numerous Great Demons began encircling Xue Dili and the Little Witch.

Enclosed Demon, Deep Sea Demon, Corpse Demon, Dense Demon, Sewn Demon...
