$759 Not Smart Is Not Stupid
The scale of the battle here will not expand too much.
There are a total of three legends present, even if they will not open their domains together because of the conflict between their domains.
But as long as one person does this, the aftermath of the battle will not affect the normal operation of this world.
There will be no problem for Gruchak to fight Lucien.
Although Lucien himself is not weak, this guy may be the most unlucky one.
Gruchak is one of the best among the ancestors on the Holy Mountain.
If his brain is not a little wrong, this guy may be able to become the leader of the tribe like Reko and leave his name in the future.
His reputation is not that big, but it does not mean that his strength is bad!
The ability of power belief makes Gruchak the most troublesome opponent for all enemies who like magic.
Although he was not an opponent of the devil of hell when he was alive, he was able to deal with all legendary demons who are good at magic with a nearly crushing attitude.
And those legendary demons who are good at physical attacks are Gruchak's favorite opponents...
This guy may be more uncomfortable than a dog-skin plaster in the eyes of demons.
If you have to talk about this guy's shortcomings, it is probably that he is not good at fighting with people.
This "not good" is of course relative.
For example, the battle master Karju is able to beat Gruchak.
Correspondingly, those legends who are famous for their fighting skills are able to defeat Gruchak...
This guy is more suitable for fighting demons.
"Lucien, although I don't know why Mokot is so angry with you.
But one thing I am sure of is that I have to beat you to death here."
Gruchak's eyes became a little dangerous, and seemed a little violent.
Of course he knew that he was not smart, but he had many friends.
Who would hate a good person who is so sincere that he would believe even the most obvious lies?
And there are rarely lies in the communication between barbarians.
So Gruchak's popularity on the Holy Mountain is quite good.
Anyone he knew would say something when Gruchak was in trouble.
And Gruchak also believed that his people would not harm him.
Since Mokot had already determined that Lucien had done something bad, Gruchak would make it all disappear!
What's wrong with being a hero?
Except that the death might not be so decent, heroes are full of halos!
"Okay, okay, I know.
We are demons, and you are humans.
If we fight each other, no one can say who among us did something wrong!
Then come on!"
Lucien seemed to be a little interested and said.
"Also, if you want those ordinary people to have a chance to avenge Ozil, it's better not to kill me.
Once I die, Ozil will never have a chance to come back."
Lucien's voice was loud, as if he was talking to Reed and the others who were moving away.
Lucien was very good at stirring people's hearts.
"Ozil? None of my business!"
Gruchak stretched out his hand and prepared to strangle Lucien's neck.
When facing this kind of demon in human form, strangling the neck first is Gluchak's experience.
After strangling the neck, it is very convenient to throw the opponent around like a rag bag or punch the opponent's head continuously.
The human head can move left and right to avoid attacks, but it can't be done when the neck is strangled by a huge force.
"Well, if this guy dies, someone will be corrupted because he is destined to lose his brother."
Constantine coughed twice and tried to join the conversation.
The purpose of his coming here is largely to get along with the Fantastic Four.
If Susan, the invisible heroine, is directly corrupted, there will definitely be no time for the Dede...
Constantine knows very well that although these guys are heroes, they are never strong in their hearts.
Otherwise, he would not have regarded the Fantastic Four as his target of bewitching...even at the cost of having some relationship with Lucien.
This is a very dangerous thing in itself. If he does this, he may be killed directly for colluding with the devil...
At least Rorschach would do this.
"What do their affairs have to do with you?"
Gruchak took the time to glare at Constantine. This guy doesn't like Constantine.
There is no personal grudge, just a simple dislike.
"Ka~"
Gruchak's hand directly pinched Lucien's neck. This process only encountered a little insignificant obstacle that could be completely forgotten...
A ball of fire that seems to have no effect...
Even if this fire can burn an ordinary person into ashes in an instant, and send the soul to the burning hell.
But it has no effect when facing Gruchak...
This man can ignore most of the little tricks of the devils.
For Gruchak, dealing with demons is only a little more difficult than dealing with mages.
"Well, the hero is going to be corrupted, don't you have any ideas?"
Constantine was a little speechless. Gruchak was the kind of ancestor he had not met much on the Holy Mountain.
It was meaningless to measure each individual in a group according to its general characteristics.
Although they were all straightforward people, these barbarians were also different.
They had completely different experiences, so they had completely different legends.
"Then I will let the hero die like a hero."
Gruchak said unhappily, and then his clenched fist directly stabbed Lucien's head like a battering ram.
"If it really fits your personality, at least the name of the hero will not be cursed because they become demons, right?
It seems pretty good, but you won't leave any good reputation."
Lucien's head, which had turned into a human form, exploded directly.
But he was not dead yet. Even if he couldn't beat Gruchak, his vitality as a legendary demon was enough to keep him going for a long time.
"Am I right, to give the hero a heroic coffin bearer?"
Lucien's body was still hanging in the air by Gruchak's neck like a rag.
He still did not appear in front of everyone in his demonic image.
But these words were quite weighty.
"Sent away Mokot, sent away Helabor, and finally sent away yourself.
Gruchak, your only regret is that you didn't let Nilashek leave as a hero before he was corrupted?"
Lucien said these things he shouldn't have known.
The incident with Nilashek happened in the battle of the destruction of Mount Arreat.
That was quite a few years away from the Sin War when Lucien died.
"It seems that you did not gain nothing when you were in contact with Rorschach.
I don't think Rorschach was called away by Bul-Kathos, right?
I guess it was Masail?"
Gruchak frowned, and then punched or hammered Lucien's body again...
"Puchi~"
The battering ram-like fist broke a big hole in Lucien's chest, but there was no change on Gruchak's face.
"Am I smarter than you think?
It's normal, I'm just not smart, but not stupid.
When Masail was spreading wisdom in the world, I didn't hold an umbrella.
I just think that I don't need to think so hard."
Gruchak said coldly.
Lucien originally planned to use his words to get the initiative of the conversation quota from Gruchak.
As a result, Gruchak got the initiative of the conversation.
This made things a little strange and interesting.
"Is it really worthwhile to send heroes to their deaths while they are still heroes?"
Lucien said nervously.
Gruchak's answer might determine whether he would die more easily.
"How should I know? I am just a coffin bearer, not an executioner."
Gruchak dropped Lucien's body heavily to the ground, and then picked up the rotten flesh that was barely connected by the tendons and bones.
"At most, I told them when they hesitated that if they died as heroes, I would carry their coffins myself."
Gruchak took a deep breath.
He was not the one who ended the heroes' lives, but the one who pointed out a path and brought courage to the heroes when they fell into depression and the corrupt future was unstoppable.
"I've always been curious, why do you never show your wings of courage to others?"
Lucien's voice became a little weak.
He shouldn't have died like this, and Gruchak knew how much strength he had used.
"Because, my courage and the courage I bring to everyone are not given by Prius."
Gruchak smiled contemptuously.
He is also recognized by the Archangel of Courage!
There are also golden wings of light flowing behind him like flames.
But he is the only one who can prevent the wings of light behind him from showing even if he uses all his strength.
Because his faith has always been only his own muscles...
All energy, all skills, in the eyes of Gruchak, are not as reliable as his own muscles.
"So, how can you convince a tyrannical woman who has lost her brother and is about to lose the opportunity to revive her brother?"
Lucien's body, which was lifted up, finally couldn't maintain the human appearance and turned into the ugly appearance of the devil again.
"That woman, she once saved countless people.
She will not give up any opportunity easily, and she will definitely not hesitate to become a devil."
Lucien smiled grimly on his regrown head.
This appearance made Gruchak very dissatisfied.
"None of my business!"
Gruchak used both hands to pinch Lucien's neck, which had become much thicker.
The muscles on his arms, which were already ferocious and terrifying, were constantly contracting!
Simple and brutal muscle power was the way Gruchak fought.
Sometimes he would rush forward with his fists, and sometimes he would jump up and use his strong body as a weapon to hit him.
Any tricks are of no value to him. Only the purest, physical collision is the only way to defeat him.
Constantine on the side had a gloomy look in his eyes.
He seemed to have underestimated the barbarian's background...
Gruchak's arrogance was beyond any barbarian he knew!
The meaning of giving a hero a hero's death seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.
"Reed, if I'm not mistaken, this Gruchak will kill Lucien without hesitation.
And if you do this, do you think Ms. Susan will go crazy in despair?"
Constantine didn't intend to ask Gruchak and the others such questions. It would be more appropriate to ask Dr. Reed, Susan's bedmate.
"Once corruption begins, it is irreversible, right?"
Reed answered a question with a question, which was a bit rude.
But interestingly, this approach happened to be the best way to deal with Constantine.
"Yes, once corruption begins, it will inevitably go all the way to the end."
Constantine gave his answer.
But from Dr. Reed's face, he was not satisfied with this answer.
"The transformation of nature must be a process, and I never think that such a process is irreversible.
So I will find a way, not only to stop the corruption process, but I even plan to try to make the people who have been corrupted and turned into demons change back.
As long as the transformation is not without process, there must be a way to reverse it, but we have not found this method yet."
Dr. Reed's voice was full of determination.
He is a hero...
And the smartest scientist in the world.
Although no one knows how much gap there is between Dr. Reed's brain and Malthael's wisdom, everyone is willing to believe that the gap will not be big.
"You can find an angel's power to try...
The power of angels and demons created Nephalem.
Maybe when being corrupted, adding a little angel's power can make everything change completely?"
Constantine grinned with his yellow teeth.
This idea seems to make sense.
I just don't know how Dr. Reed will deal with this suggestion.
"If I were that Masail, I would definitely try my best to get the news of this world.
Perhaps our information has been exposed to him long ago.
Even this approach may be what he wants."
Dr. Reed seemed a little hesitant.
"You want to give up this idea? Just to prevent Masail's possible calculation from succeeding?"
Constantine asked.
"No, I don't care what he will do.
But I won't let the people around me leave me so easily.
Also, if that Lucien died, do you still want Jim Hammond's body?
According to the barbarians, after Lucien died, Ozil would never come back again."
Reed looked at Constantine with a dangerous look.
Constantine just smiled.
"I never have only one plan, and I never let my plan fail.
Don't worry, I am Constantine who is best at dealing with demons.
This time is no exception, at most I have to pay some price."
Constantine's frankness made Dr. Reed willing to give a trust.
Let's just believe that Constantine can do what he says.
