The Blue Flower Demon pulled Darren closer and intended to bite his head off.
He could already imagine the happiness he would feel when he tasted the delicious flavor of fresh meat.
Boom!
A beam of black light accompanied by infinite sword intent soared into the sky.
A breath later, the vines binding Darren exploded.
"Damn it!"
the Blue Flower Demon muttered as astonishment coursed through him. Unwilling to let his prey escape, he quickly gathered his vines to attack Darren again.
However, Darren had already planned his attack. In an instant, his body flashed and appeared in front of the Blue Flower Demon.
A sword strike! And a blade strike!
His sword and blade attacks rushed forward in tandem and besieged the Blue Flower Demon from two directions.
"You are too naive, stupid human!"
Just as Darren's sword and blade ambush neared their target, the Blue Flower Demon calmed down and became fearless.
Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!
Several tentacles popped out from the Blue Flower Demon's pistil and instantly enveloped himself.
When Darren's sword and blade attack fell on this shield made of tentacles, they only cut several inches deep. The Blue Flower Demon himself was unharmed.
"Gosh!" Darren's eyes widened with shock. He hadn't expected the demon to have such a strong defense.
The instinctive urge to flee surged within Darren, but he stood his ground. He knew that once he moved away from the Blue Flower Demon, the demon would feel safe enough to release his vines and mobilize them to capture him.
If that happened, the demon would not fall for Darren's tricks, and he would eat him instead.
"Master Murphy, hurry up! Break the shackles and help me kill this creature!"
Darren could not think of any other method with which to wake his companion. Murphy was injured, and he hoped that Murphy's mind would awaken when he shouted through his spiritual voice.
In a semi-comatose state, Murphy sobered up when Darren's spiritual voice hit his soul.
As soon as he returned to his senses, he felt severe itching all over his body again. It was so unbearable that he gritted his teeth to the point where he felt they would break.
"Howl!"
Murphy roared like a beast as tremendous sword intent poured out from every pore in his body.
Although it sliced through his flesh, the sword intent also tore through the vines that had imprisoned him.
"Go to hell!"
Murphy emitted such an intense aura at this point that Darren felt as though he was enveloped in infinite darkness. Never before had he seen Murphy this cruel and fierce!
Bang!
The intense sword intent that had condensed into a hundred thousand swords instantly fell on the Blue Flower Demon.
"No!"
The Blue Flower Demon's tentacles were severed and then the whole flower was cut into pieces.
Darren breathed a sigh of relief as his plan had worked. As he had recently used all his strength to break through the shackles, he was very weak.
And that was true for Murphy as well. Since his sword intent had sliced through his flesh, he was injured and exhausted. Without his strength, Murphy was unable to heal himself.
Both fell on the grassland and lay feebly as they tried to catch their breath.
"Are you all right, Master Murphy?"
"Oh, I'm very comfortable."
Since laws controlled the Blue Flower Demon's toxin, the laws dissipated after the demon's death and the toxin vanished. Therefore, the severe itching settled, and Murphy felt comfortable even though his entire body was broken.
Darren recovered a little. He hurriedly transferred his god's power to Murphy to repair his injured body and stimulate his healing abilities.
After several hours, they had somewhat recovered.
"Master Murphy, how are you now?"
But Murphy sat cross-legged and didn't answer Darren's question.
"Master Murphy?"
Darren prompted as his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Murphy still suffered from some aftereffect of the toxin?
"Darren, don't disturb me. I am comprehending something,"
Murphy replied flatly. Then, his spiritual sense quieted down.
