Devil's Eye Reborn - Shadow Angel Awakens - Chapter 38

Chapter 36：The Man in Iron reappeared
 

“It was you. I never thought I’d see the day when you’d be kneeling at my feet,” I laughed, gazing at the corpse manipulated by the Iron Mask Man.

In truth, when Samael suddenly left despite his murderous intent, I suspected that the Iron Mask Man might already be present.

I had been on guard, wary of a surprise attack. Now, with Rahab gravely injured and my own strength not fully recovered, facing the Iron Mask Man might not end well for me.

Fortunately, he only used the “Puppeteer’s Eye” to negotiate with us, which allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Heh, worthless scum, have you so quickly forgotten your own pathetic state last time?” Liu Yuxuan’s corpse grabbed my foot and slowly crawled up.

I seized his collar with one hand, pulling him close to me, and laughed, “Indeed, I was careless last time. But if you didn’t have the ‘Mirror Shield,’ you might have already been killed by my Devil eyes.”

“Heh heh heh, the Eye of Illusions is nothing to fear,” the corpse, bleeding from all seven orifices, laughed spasmodically.

“So, it was you who controlled the corpse in Hong Kong’s fire incident. I had always wondered why Rofocal couldn’t recognize me,” Rahab, who was healing in Yan’er’s arms, suddenly opened his eyes and said, “Who exactly are you? Why do you have the ‘Puppeteer’s Eye’? Where is Rofocal?”

The corpse struggled to turn its head, glaring coldly at Rahab. “Rofocal? The fate of the worthless is to disappear from this world.”

Rahab’s murderous intent suddenly flared!

A dark shadow flashed before my eyes, and the corpse in my hand suddenly gushed blood like a fountain. Liu Yuxuan’s head was abruptly severed and shot backward!

With a heavy thud, the head crashed into the wall, spreading brain matter and blood in a grotesque flower of crimson

“To think… Rofocal is actually dead,” Rahab sighed, though his tone lacked much regret.

I dropped the corpse and turned to say, “I really want to know who this Satan’s Cult leader is. To have such power, not only to kill Rofocal but also to make Samael submit. Unfortunately, we can’t ask more.”

“No, he should still be here,” Rahab said, and sure enough, the eerie laughter of the Iron Mask Man echoed again from among the thousands of corpses.

A naked man crawled out of the horde of corpses with difficulty, his bloodied mouth grinning mockingly at us. “Heh heh heh, worthless scum are quick to anger and lash out recklessly.”

This time, Rahab did not react but instead whispered to me, “Xiao Nuo, I was impulsive just now. This time, you must extract information from him.” I lightly touched my nose to signal my understanding.

The naked corpse, manipulated by the Iron Mask Man, slowly stood up.

As the corpse walked towards us with staggering steps, it laughed and asked, “Bi Yongnuo, do you know why I didn’t come here in person today?”

I smiled and said, “This gathering is actually a trap to deal with us, isn’t it?”

“When did you realize?” the Iron Mask Man asked with interest.

“Actually, when those two Satan’s Cultists with Devil eyes suddenly exploded, I had a vague sense. At that moment, I recalled that your cultists seemed to have bombs installed in them, like the fire corpses in Hong Kong and the ten special forces members.” I looked at the naked corpse and smiled. “When we got to Italy, you even blew up two cultists with Devil eyes. But why did you leave Rofocal alive and let us learn the location of your Satan’s Cult headquarters from him?”

The Iron Mask Man sneered a few times. “It seems your useless brain isn’t completely broken.”

“Heh, not only is it not broken, but it’s sharp enough to handle your tricks,” I laughed.

“Hmph, continue,” the Iron Mask Man urged.

I smiled and continued, “Then Rofocal and Zheng Zicheng disappeared simultaneously, which made me even more certain that this Satan’s Cult gathering in Florence was bait.”

“Yes! This gathering was meant to end your worthless life here. Who knew that fool Wukong couldn’t kill you and got hurt instead!” the naked corpse said angrily, then let out a sinister laugh. “Bi Yongnuo, why do you always refuse to die? Don’t you know it makes things very embarrassing for me?”

“Sorry, not only will I not die, but I will also take over your Satan’s Cult,” I said apologetically.

The Iron Mask Man sneered, “Heh, what makes you think you can?”

“Just the name Satan. Lusifa,” I said proudly, but the Iron Mask Man suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing it.

“Satan? So what? Even now, Samael can easily kill you,” the naked corpse sneered.

I snorted coldly. “Maybe I can’t defeat him, but it’s not easy for him to kill me either.”

“Heh heh, two thousand years ago, didn’t he kill you once? I believe the result will be the same two thousand years later,” the Iron Mask Man looked at me with disdain and laughed sinisterly.

“Samael only managed to ambush Satan when he was severely weakened! In a fair fight, Satan could defeat him with a single move!” Rahab retorted angrily, unable to stay calm whenever Satan was mentioned.

“Hahaha, Rahab, after being a demon for thousands of years, why are you still so naive? Don’t you understand that the gap between our powers is as vast as the sky and the mud?” the Iron Mask Man laughed mockingly. “Moreover, I have thousands of demons under my command, and my followers are spread across the globe. You are only four people; how can you fight me?”

“This situation won’t last long. As I said, I will take over the entire Satan’s Cult,” I laughed.

The naked corpse shook its head and sighed. “Fool, you really have no self-awareness, thinking you can stop the apocalypse and naively believing you can fight me.”

I laughed. “Is it my delusion or your arrogance? It’s too early to say. Even now, you still can’t kill me.”

The Iron Mask Man suddenly pointed at me and laughed maniacally. “Hahaha, Bi Yongnuo, if I hadn’t ordered Samael to spare you, you’d be lying dead on the ground today. Remember, it’s not that I can’t kill you; it’s that I don’t want to, hahaha!” the Iron Mask Man laughed weakly.

I was already accustomed to the Iron Mask Man’s madness, so I didn’t get angry. However, Yan’er behind me couldn’t hold back and shouted angrily, “You bad man! Don’t talk about Big Brother like that!”

The Iron Mask Man’s laughter abruptly stopped. His sinister eyes scanned Yan’er up and down. “Are you Daji’s daughter? Tsk tsk, your mother is so beautiful, but you are so plain. Are you really her biological daughter?”

Yan’er was furious and shouted, “You bad guy! Why did you capture my mother?”

The Iron Mask Man sneered, “Heh heh, you’re so stupid. Your mother is stunningly beautiful. Of course, I captured her to have my way with her… heh heh!”

“You pervert!” Yan’er cried out in anger. Seeing her tear-streaked face, I was filled with righteous indignation. I put away my playful demeanor and glared coldly at the naked corpse. “Watch your mouth!”

The Iron Mask Man sneered at me. “Why so anxious? Do you have feelings for Daji too?”

“That’s none of your business. Tell me, why did you capture Daji and the other demons?” I asked sternly.

“Heh heh heh, that’s not something I can easily tell you,” The Iron Mask Man replied sinisterly.

“Hmph, even if you don’t say, I’ll find out the truth and rescue the other demons,” I sneered.

“Heh, using Satan’s name again?” the Iron Mask Man sneered. “But Bi Yongnuo, what if I told you that you are not Satan at all?”

I was taken aback and then asked in a deep voice, “What do you mean by that?”

The naked corpse crooked a finger, signaling me to approach.

Now that he was merely in a mortal body, I wasn’t afraid of any surprise attack, so I walked over.

He leaned his head close to my ear and whispered conspiratorially, “I know you’ve seen that document. Haven’t you ever doubted your own origins?”

I glared at him. “Explain yourself.”

The Iron Mask Man chuckled darkly. “The reincarnation of Satan, is it really that simple? You’re just an orphan of unknown origins. How can you prove you are Satan?”

I sneered. “The ‘Hell’ mark, the ‘Beast’s’ blood seal—these are irrefutable proofs.”

The Iron Mask Man’s sinister smile widened as he slowly traced his index finger across my chest.

I watched his movements, bewildered, but as he made several strokes, my expression changed dramatically.

For the place he traced was precisely where the ‘Beast’s’ blood seal was located!

“How… how do you know the location of the blood seal?” I asked in astonishment.

Many knew what the blood seal looked like since it was merely the ancient Hebrew number 666.

But as far as I knew, this blood seal was never easily shown to others. Yet, the Iron Mask Man could trace it on my chest without hesitation, as if he had always known its exact position!

Even Rahab couldn’t do that, which made me feel a chill of terror.

Seeing my reaction, the Iron Mask Man burst into laughter. “Heh heh, do you understand now? Stop being so naive! You’re nothing but a worthless scum! So what if you have the blood seal? So, what if you can use ‘Hell’?”

“Even though I don’t know how you know about the blood seal, it doesn’t prove that I’m not Satan,” I sneered.

Despite my words, a sliver of doubt crept into my mind, even though I still believed I was Satan.

The Iron Mask Man glanced at me and smiled. “I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Turn around, and I’ll show you another piece of evidence.”

I quickly turned around, but Rahab urgently shouted, “Xiao Nuo, don’t!”
