Chapter 206 【0204】 Facing Greed
Seeing Lux put on an attitude of "I don't want to listen, toad chanting", not listening to him at all, swinging the lightsaber and slashing, Tam was a little restrained for a while.
Demons are very powerful, there is no doubt about that.
But the power of demons is not the power of "hard power" - in terms of panel attributes, demons are just so-so.
The body of a demon is indeed strong and powerful, and extremely resistant to beating, but with just a strong body, demons can only be regarded as extraordinary at best.
For demons, their real strength lies in their insight into people's hearts and control of emotions. They can always arouse different emotions and desires, which is the most powerful part of demons.
Take Tam for example.
He can see into the desire of the target, and then use words to guide the other party's actions, just like using a stick with a carrot to lure a donkey, fishing for the other party and letting the other party walk on the path he hopes for.
In this process, he often generously gives the other party some conditions needed to reach the ultimate desired goal, but no one who listened to his words has ever successfully realized his desire, because before that, he will pay a price for what he gets.
And this price... is often the person himself.
Take Gangplank as an example.
After the Tide of Fire, Gangplank longed for a comeback and revenge, so Tam planned a "revenge road" for him, protecting him alive, giving him a small force, helping him cause chaos in Bilgewater, and even bringing back the Abyss.
Then, just before Gangplank was about to return as a king, he finally fell into Tam's trap and merged with the will of the Abyss - since then, Gangplank's will finally no longer belongs to him. As an undead, his will belongs to the rule of Mordekaiser, and the demon right hand became the dividend left by Tam for himself.
This is a typical "Tahm-style operation". There was no battle during the whole process. He did not endure Gangplank's trapped beast fight, but successfully got a share of the pie from Mordekaiser.
For demons, fraud, coaxing, and seduction are also part of the battle. The only one who really went up to fight with people... was a nightmare who did not want to reveal his name.
But now, facing Lux, Tam was somewhat helpless.
He could feel Lux's desire - under the guidance of Kalja, Lux had been thinking about her uncle, so Tam clearly "saw Lux's mind".
The desire of relatives dying and longing to resurrect them was so familiar to Tam that it couldn't be more familiar. There were people with such ideas everywhere in Bilgewater, and even the owner of the black fog was such a guy.
So, Tam started his own words with ease, and said, "The curtain of life and death is not unbreakable, and we may be able to make a little deal" and so on.
However, when Lux heard him say this, she chopped the lightsaber in her hand more happily.
Tam was completely stunned.
This shouldn't be the case!
He had clearly sensed this person's thoughts and realized her desire, but his words that always worked had no effect at all...
I didn't expect this young girl to be so determined!
It's really interesting!
For demons, the more determined the soul is, the more precious it is - if he wanted to devour Lux just for her divinity before, now Tam has a new reason.
Devouring Lux can make him stronger!
This cognition strengthened Tam's greed, making him unwilling to give up even if Lux chased him for almost a mile.
Since the simplest means of bewitching are ineffective, let's try something more advanced!
……………………
Lux is a little tired.
Previously, she used the ultimate flash to kill Hecarim and beat Thresh to flee. Lux consumed a lot of mana and stamina.
Now, after she followed Karya's method, temporarily avoided the demon's whispers, and chased Tam to slash, she had rushed out of almost a mile without realizing it.
It was not difficult to walk on the sea using elemental mutual repulsion. For Lux in normal conditions, this level of water walking was a piece of cake.
However, with insufficient magic power, she had to walk on the water and keep the lightsaber. After a long time, she naturally couldn't support it.
Her temples began to ache, and Lux clearly felt that her magic power was about to run out.
It happened that Tam in front of her was slippery and relentless (literally). Although his dress had been chopped to pieces by Lux, even the weapon enchanted with the light element could not cause any substantial damage to his demon body.
A layer of gray and sticky shield absorbed most of the damage and deflected the powerful slash. Even if Tam really couldn't do anything to Lux in this state, Lux couldn't do anything to him either.
So, if Gangplank and Sarah had not yet decided the winner and could not let Tam cause trouble for Sarah, Lux would have probably turned around and left.
And it was at this time that Tam's long-planned counterattack finally came.
This guy stopped insisting on nagging, and took Lux's sword head-on, then plunged into the sea and disappeared.
What happened?
Lux looked around but didn't find any clues. Then, just when she was confused, Tam suddenly appeared from below her, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to swallow her in one bite.
Lux was startled.
However, she dodged immediately and launched a counterattack - this time, Lux's lightsaber successfully pierced Tam's gray skin, leaving a deep scar on his demon body.
Tam's tongue also licked Lux's calf at the same time.
Lux looked down at the armor outside her calf.
Tam's saliva was sticky and wet, but it should not be corrosive, and it didn't even have magic power. The armor didn't seem to have any problems.
Tam seemed very satisfied with this. He shook his head and flicked his tongue, then plunged into the sea again.
A moment later, he appeared again, and was hit by a sword again and licked Lux's other calf.
Then the third time.
After licking Lux three times, Tam did not continue to dive into the sea water, but flicked his tongue excitedly - although Lux had opened three deep, difficult-to-heal wounds on his body, Tam now believed that he had won.
Lux swung his sword again.
But this time, Tam disappeared without a sign.
The next moment, the voice of the demon appeared in Lux's mind without any hindrance, "Come on, little girl! Look directly at your greed and open your heart to me... Wait, what's going on?!"
Karya's small class · The absolute strength of the demon:
When facing mortals, demons have the power to crush.
But when facing extraordinary people, even demons generally need to talk about some skills. Each demon represents a certain emotion, and using this emotion to control the target is the normal way for demons to fight.
Of course, Fiddlesticks does not count. He is the original fear, a demon who is truly close to the gods.
