Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1875 Demoness Phoenix Sifrona

?Nyxus' expression stiffened as she heard Eren's demand.

Having surrendered to Eren, she could only imagine the dire consequences awaiting her once she led him to her former boss' den.

Uncertainty shrouded the outcome of the clash between Eren and her former boss. Could Eren establish a form of cooperation with the Demon Earls? Or would he have to face their wrath? Nyxus couldn't be sure.

Yet she knew without a doubt that she would be the one to suffer the most amidst the conflict of these two demonic powerhouses.

However, remaining silent wasn't an option after Eren issued his command.

'It doesn't look like I have a say in this matter.'

Understanding the demonic hierarchy all too well, Nyxus realized there were fates worse than mere exorcism awaiting disobedient demons. From what she could discern, Eren possessed the capability to inflict torment beyond her wildest imaginings.

"My liege, Lord Fur— no. I mean Demon Earl Furfur is–" Nyxus began, only to be abruptly interrupted by one of her former colleagues who had remained silent throughout the ordeal.

"Nyxus, you wench, what the hell are you doing?" Sifrona, a demon beast leader, stepped forward with a wary gaze fixed on Eren.

"Betrayal may be your only choice in the current situation. And that's all fine with me. But don't fucking drag us with you by divulging information about Lord Furfur. We refuse to suffer the consequences of your actions."

She declared grimly, scanning her surroundings for support, only to find none stepping forward to aid her cause. She cursed silently as her subordinates remained passive, refusing to align themselves with her.

The demons were as sharp as they could be. The remaining demon leaders decided to play as mute spectators to the whole event. They would join the side that's winning. At least this was the strategy they had come up with at a moment's notice.

"Hmm? And who might you be, Miss Redfire?" Eren asked as he narrowed his eyes on the female demon beast leader who had stepped forward.

His eyes again had a hint of greed for a second as he looked at her and scanned the Faustian Contract she had signed with her mortal flesh.

'This demoness… She has a special blood within her. Dragon blood? No… something's different. Doesn't look like a draconic lineage to me even though she has that beast dominion aura surroundings her.

Her Faustian Contract is also special because of it. If only I get to devour her,' Eren thought to himself as he looked at the second demoness from the original demon beast leader group.

Sifrona appeared as a humanoid woman wreathed in flames, her fiery form casting flickering shadows in all directions. Molten lava coursed through the veins beneath her dark red skin, glowing with intense heat. Her eyes burned with infernal fury, and her very presence raised the temperature of the air around her.

Having evolved from a pheasant-type demon beast with fire- element affinity, Sifrona was often referred to as demonic phoenix by Labh Salem Practitioners who had encountered her and met their demise at her hands.

It was evident that Sifrona was reluctant to engage in conflict with Eren.

However, she was a cautious individual who could foresee the dire consequences of allowing Nyxus to lead Eren to confront Demon Earl Furfur and others during a crucial discussion. She was unwilling to be caught in the crossfire amidst the chaos that would inevitably unfold within the demonic den located in the heart of the Shadowed Grove.

"Lord Eren, my name is Sifrona," the phoenix demoness introduced herself to Eren with a tone that was neither overbearing nor servile. She looked around herself and then at the Eldric Force standing behind Eren's back before commenting.

"Lord Eren, we would let you and your team members go without causing trouble if you promise us not to seek an audience with Demon Earl Furfur," Sifrona said as she looked into Eren's eyes with a certain level of courage she had managed to muster from the depths of her beating demonic heart.

"We do not wish to battle with you. But if you force our hand, we'd be attacking your team members first," she said as she looked at the Eldric Force team members with a cold gaze.

"Pretty girl, are you fucking trying to challenge my authority? Do you think I'm some form of Saint just because I talk with you politely?" Eren asked Sifrona with a smile. 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂

"Do you really fucking think you can use those guys as leverage against me? Why don't you go ahead and carry out your threat? I dare you to do so."

Eren spoke casually, as if he weren't afraid of the horde of demon beasts standing behind Sifrona at all, as if he wasn't concerned about what his enemies would do to the Eldric Force members as well.

The Eldric Force members' faces turned pale when they heard Eren's words. They didn't know what they could do or say. The fights they had with their earlier demon beast opponents had sapped most of their strength away.

They were practically as useful as a comb to the bald people if Eren asked them to fight from his side.

Sifrona didn't know what kind of entity she was dealing with. Eren wasn't Kalen.

While Kalen's subconscious soul tried to protest after hearing Eren's vicious words, it couldn't do anything when Eren had taken complete control over his body through Demonic Takeover.

Kalen was as helpless as someone sitting beside the man driving a flying vehicle. No matter how much he screamed, he couldn't make the flying vehicle obey his will because the controlling wheel was in the driver's hands.

"You…" Sifrona's already red face turned even redder than it already was in a mix of anger, frustration and trepidation, as she processed Eren's words.

She clenched her fists and quickly contacted her demon beast leader allies one by one, trying to strike a deal.

Even with an entire horde by her side, she knew it would be foolish to attack Eren depending upon her powers alone.

The demoness phoenix didn't dare to underestimate Eren just because he was all by himself.
