Chapter 127: The Curse!

Of course, even though the thought of inquiring about the Hell Lord crossed Robert's mind, he did not let that distract him from attacking the demon.

Robert decided he would wait until the demon was incapacitated before asking about the Hell Lord.

With a roar, the injured demon charged at Robert furiously.

Despite the severe injury, the demon's combat ability did not decrease. In an environment like hell, such injuries were not uncommon for demons.

Even if the demon was considered a lowly existence in hell, the injury only fueled its vicious nature!

The next moment, the demon lunged at Robert, its claws shimmering with a red glow and a scorching aura aiming for Robert's head.

Clearly, this was a demon with fire abilities.

With a thud, Robert's fist collided with the demon's claws, emitting a muffled sound.

Robert's fist was covered in qi, preventing any harm from the demon's fiery claws.

With a crack, as Robert's fist and the demon's claws continued to collide, the demon's arm began to deform under the pressure!

Clearly, the demon was no match for Robert in terms of strength.

With another loud thud, when Robert's strength exceeded the demon's limit, the demon's body was sent flying and crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

Blood from the demon scattered everywhere, forming charred grooves.

As the demon attempted to rise, Robert appeared before it again and punched towards its chest.

With a thud, the ground trembled under Robert's fist, the demon's chest deformed drastically, and Robert's fist went through it, smashing into the ground and creating a deep crater. Yes, the demon was pierced through by Robert on the spot!

This was why Robert didn't aim for the demon's head. Had he targeted the head, the demon might have died instantly.

Of course, Robert wasn't sure if the demon could survive without its head, but since he still wanted information from it, it was better to be cautious.

As Robert pierced the demon's body, a large amount of demon blood sprayed onto him. However, this time was different. With experience, Robert wrapped himself and his clothes in qi, effectively blocking the demon's blood.

With a snap, Robert then grabbed the demon by the neck. Fortunately, the demon was not too large, making the maneuver manageable for Robert.

The demon did not give up and attempted to claw at Robert's body despite its injuries.

With a buzz, Robert withdrew his hand from the demon's chest, and a sphere of qi formed in his hand, turning into rings that bound the demon's limbs, rendering it powerless.

Robert then reached towards the demon's head, curious if mind reading would work on such a creature.

"Such chaotic memories." Unfortunately, after a while, Robert shook his head in resignation. He did manage to access the demon's memories but couldn't find any useful information. The memories were filled with brutal scenes from hell and the struggle for survival in a dog-eat-dog world.

"How about it, can you speak? Or do you understand human language? Do you know the Hell Lord?" Robert asked the struggling demon, curious.

Robert hadn't been present when Constantine and the demon spoke, so he was unsure if the demon could speak. However, the demon's roar soon answered him.

"Damned human, I advise you to release me. If you dare kill me, I will curse you with my life. You will be targeted by all demons," the demon growled menacingly at Robert.

"Really? That sounds interesting," Robert's eyes widened in anticipation, "Go ahead, curse me! Let me see what your curse is like!"

The demon was momentarily baffled by Robert's reaction, sensing something off about this human.

However, the demon quickly became enraged, feeling belittled by Robert's response.

With a roar, as the demon's body trembled, the rings binding it also shook.

Visibly, the demon's body seemed to shrink until the rings could no longer hold it.

At this point, the demon turned into a mass of demon blood and lunged at Robert! This was the demon's curse, a life-for-life curse aimed at Robert.

"Interesting…" Robert watched the incoming demon blood, his eyes sparkling.

He tore off a piece of cloth from his clothing and infused it with qi.

Robert's presence vanished, though he was still physically there, making it impossible to sense him.

With a buzz, as Robert performed these actions, the demon blood paused, then hesitated before lunging at the piece of cloth, completely soaking it and emitting a strong demonic aura.

Soon, the demonic aura faded, and a standard demon pattern appeared on the cloth.

This was the demon's curse, forever remaining on the cloth until it disintegrated.

If other demons encountered this cloth, they would sense the curse within.

It's uncertain how many demons would act on this curse, but it was an interesting development for Robert.

"Curses are somewhat intriguing," Robert nodded, examining the cloth with a smile.

Joking aside, Robert wasn't the type to let a demon curse him directly. He had prepared countermeasures from the start, having gained some knowledge in this area...
