The difficulty of the life-and-death martial arts arena has always been known for its strictness. Those who come back here are not quite confident in themselves, or foreigners who are eager for quick success, or desperadoes.

So the gatekeeper was a little shocked when he saw Vader.Vader looked lanky and handsome, not at all like a desperate desperado.

He didn't know that Vader had come here not to win, but to kill.And the word "desperado" has always been Vader's most essential comment.

……

Eden sat in the auditorium of the arena.If Lucian was here, he would recognize him.He was the thin and cold demon who lived next door to the two of them.

He used his hood and mask to hide the intricate patterns on his forehead.This demon is a succubus, and his grade is not low.His lover, the tall and strong demon James sat beside him, and there were still the tooth marks left by Eden on his arm last night.Seeing that Eden was depressed, James whispered in his ear, "Don't worry."

As he spoke, he held Eden's hand.His hands are wide enough to completely wrap Eden's thin hand in his palm.The brand of slavery still remains on his shoulders.

James is a runaway slave in the city of sloth.He was once a brave warrior, but he was framed and reduced to slavery.The identity of the succubus Iden sitting next to him as his lover is very special - he is the younger brother of the Lord of the City of Lust.

He fled the city-state behind his back.

Eden is not a full-fledged succubus.He is congenitally deficient, and his ability to obtain energy from other people's body fluids is weak. Even as a succubus, he needs to eat ordinary food.Besides that, his charm magic is also pretty bad.There is no brotherhood between the demons, and his older sister doesn't like this frail younger brother.Before being rewarded by his sister as a general, he dismisses his guards and escapes from the City of Lust.

His older sister, Heloise, despite her beauty, was a ruthless queen who tolerated no betrayal.She issued a harsh warrant for Eden after he fled.Eden hides and suffers a lot all the way, until he meets James, a fugitive slave who escaped from the lazy city.

From then on, the two traveled together, concealed their names to avoid the pursuit of the two city-states, earned living expenses by being bounty hunters, and developed into lovers due to an accident caused by a full moon.James often felt ashamed of the little prince in exile because of his identity as a fugitive slave, and he sacrificed his life many times to save him.Perhaps it was God's favor for this pair of fateful mandarin ducks. Finally, they got a treasure in an expedition.

A map to the lair of Edith the Red Dragon, once infamous as a Nightmare Dragon 300 years ago.

Legend has it that this red dragon likes to collect treasures, has a violent temper, and even destroyed the entire palace of a small kingdom on the border of the human race with flames.The cruel red dragon died in the crusade of the warriors, but the curse it left destroyed the entire royal family of the kingdom.This small kingdom has also disappeared in the dust of history.

But the wealth she left behind was huge.Legend has it that the financial reports Edith collected during her lifetime were enough to buy an entire city-state in the Demon Realm.With this money, they can even buy some small city-states or towns that few people care about in the Demon Realm, and establish their base there.

The location of the lair indicated by the map is remote and close to the Dragon Clan mountains, on the central axis between the City of Laziness and the City of Greed.They therefore had to settle in the City of Greed.Since the money has been exhausted, they can only resume their old jobs in the city and continue their work as bounty hunters.

It's just that the house is leaking and it rains all night.Their second mission in the City of Greed ran into "Black Ice", a mercenary group known for trapping outsiders.In that mission of concealing information, James almost lost an arm, and Eden almost lost his life.They clashed with the Black Ice men outside the hotel and ended up breaking one of the Black Ice men's legs.

Black Ice's deputy leader Kane is the cousin of the Greedy City Lord.He threatened that he would never let these two go, and he was capable enough to do it.

Kane's domineering can be said to overwhelm the sky in the city of greed.As the city lord's cousin, he has enough capital to consume them slowly and torture them to death.It is a pity that both Eden and James have invisible identities, which makes this matter even more difficult.

For the time being, the two of them didn't have enough entanglements and preparations to leave the city of greed.Just when they experienced the rest of the night after the catastrophe, they agreed to take on more jobs that could earn money the next day, so as to leave the city of greed earlier.

But something desperate happened.After a trip, the employer who had enthusiastically invited them to join the team 10 minutes ago changed his face.Not only did he categorically deny his invitation, but he also made insulting remarks to the two of them.James' morale was about to crush the man's wrist, but Eden stopped him.

"We can't cause any serious trouble now." Eden said coldly.Except when he shows some succubus nature in bed, most of the other times he is so rational that he looks like a dummy.

The two tried several times but failed to join other tasks.Kane, the deputy head of Black Ice, seemed to greet everyone in the square, and any employer would avoid them.In desperation, the two entered the field of life and death fighting. According to James, he wanted to rest here, watch the fighting, and think of new ways.

"Actually, things might not be that bad." James said, "Sell my sword and collect other things, and you can always save a gold coin."

"Your sword? That's the last relic left by your family." Ian said, "and a gold coin is not enough for us to spend on the road. We came here from the lazy city, but we walked two full months..."

The commotion in the arena grew louder.The host announced that two new contestants had entered the fighting arena.Only then did Ian turn his gaze to the stage. After seeing the participant standing on the left, he froze for a while.

The excited voices of the demons came from the seats.

"Fight!"

"Press Kumbo!"

"Beat that little boy to death!"

Kunbo is the strong man standing on the left. No matter in terms of size or appearance, he has a strong fighting ability.Standing on the right is a thin young man wearing a mask.The mask only covers the upper half of his face, and the lower half of his face has classic and beautiful features, which makes him worthy of the title "little white face" in this martial arts arena.

His nameplate bears his name on it.

"Witt".

"He looks like someone who lives in the room next to ours." It was James who spoke first.To be able to walk here with Iden, who is less effective and still being hunted down, although he lacks a bit of strategy and brains, his observation and memory skills are indispensable.

Eden nodded.

He remembered that there were two people living in Werther's room.In addition to Werther, there is also a succubus named Louis.Eden was impressed by the couple because of their good looks despite their masks.Werther's beauty always has a sense of intimidation that strangers should not get close to, but Louis's beauty is much more seductive.

In addition, of course, it was also because of the conflict caused by the young couple in the tavern on the first floor.Jealousy is a very common thing, but Eden always feels that the relationship between these two people is a bit subtle, as if there are some elements of order and coercion, and it is like some kind of master-servant game.

Spectators begin placing bets on the two participants.Due to the difference in appearance between the two, the balance of betting is clearly on the side of Kumbau.Eden thought for a while, took out a silver coin, and threw it on the side of Werther who only had a few coins.

James obviously couldn't understand Eden's behavior, but the decision to support Eden was already a habit for him.The fight was about to start, and Kumbaugh began to show off his muscles in preparation, but Witte only stood on the other side.Facing his lover's doubts, Eden just explained: "I don't think they are people who are short of money."

"So?" James asked.

"They are not short of money, so why would they want to risk their lives here as desperadoes. I judge that Witte may have absolute confidence in his ability." Eden said, "And his lover Louis is not in the audience—— His gray hair will stand out. Apparently, he doesn't see this match as a matter of life or death."

Eden's judgment in the first sentence was correct, but the latter sentence was completely wrong.

Vader and Lucian were not lovers.Lucian also didn't think he would care about Vader's life or death.

The competition begins!

The first match ended unexpectedly.Almost as soon as Kumbaugh took off, his head fell.Vader's movements were so fast that no one even saw how he shot.

This unexpected ending caused a little commotion, but more people believed that it was just that Kumbaugh was not useful.Witte's next opponent was an experienced boxer - but he was beaten at almost the same speed.

Then there is the next game, the next game, the next game... Every game of Werther has refreshed everyone's views.There are more and more people rushing forward and back to vote for him.They talked eagerly of this new Werther in the City of Greed, and bemoaned his bad luck—the Lord of Greed or his guards used to come here to watch the fight, and recruit some powerful warriors as his men.It is a pity that they are not here today.

Werther's opponent in the last game was an extremely powerful demon.He won the championship twice in a row in another fighting arena where he didn't bet on his life, but he violated the rules and beat his opponent to death when his opponent had already begged for mercy.After seeing the thin and beautiful Vader, he was initially very contemptuous.It wasn't until Vader broke ten joints that he couldn't stand that he lay on the ground and begged for mercy.

He didn't know that his current expression was very similar to the expressions of those opponents who were beaten to death by him in the non-gambling arena.And Vader looked at his tearful face, only feeling indifferent and disgusted.

It wasn't the look he wanted to see.he thinks.

He thought of his battle with Lucian in the secret passage, it was really a hearty battle, Lucian never begged for mercy until the end, and even sent him to the confession room.

He stabbed the knife into the demon's brain, and the demon could not move at all.

Lucian also "begged for mercy" to him.But he knew it all—it was all "begging for mercy" that Lucian didn't care about and could say casually.When he said those "begging for mercy", his eyes were full of smiles, as if he had already won.

The moment the enemy's blood splashed on his face.The image from last night's dream flashed through Vader's mind again.

Lucian actively pulled his legs apart under him, his lips trembling, and the corners of his eyes were red.

He suddenly wanted to know what Lucian looked like begging for mercy in such a situation.

He wanted to know about Lucian at that time...

How distressed, soft, and...

People can't help but want to bully him again.
