Chapter 540: Chapter 400 Excellent Hunters Often………_2 Chapter 540: Chapter 400 Excellent Hunters Often………_2 “I really didn’t expect that, even though I’ve stopped time, you can still react. It seems that the legends about Demons are actually true.”

“Wh, what? Stopped time?”

Upon hearing this, Saizeru was taken aback. She subconsciously attempted to turn her head but found she couldn’t move at all. Looking forward, she finally understood that the whole world seemed to have stopped moving. Even the dust floating in the air from the ground being pummeled by the icicles, was stationary at this moment, showing no signs of moving at all.

“Who… who on earth are you? Why do you possess such power?”

“How does it feel?”

Rather than answering Saizeru’s question, Duanmu Huai just kept advancing towards her.

“This feeling of someone approaching you from behind when you’re immobilized… it’s like a person who can only hold their breath for a minute underwater, reaching the surface after a minute’s submersion to breathe and then….”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out and grasped Saizeru’s shoulder.

“…..being yanked back underwater!”

“Argh –!!”

The moment Saizeru felt the touch on her shoulder, she trembled all over. For the first time, she felt fear.

Does her invincible barrier have no effect on this human?

How can that be? Normal humans shouldn’t have the power to break through the invincible barrier!

“But rest assured, I won’t kill you, because for you, there are things scarier than death, waiting for you!”

As he said this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and swung a punch.

“Ora!!!”

Following a violent shock, the girl’s body became distorted and hung in the air.

Then….

“The flow of time resumes.”

As Duanmu Huai’s voice fell, in the next moment, Saizeru was seen being flung away and hit the ground, sliding several hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.

“Huh? What??”

Seeing this, Zhi Jingxiang was dumbstruck. She was certain she saw the Demon pinned Duanmu Huai down with her icicles. However, in the next moment, all she saw was a blur before the Demon suddenly flew overhead, landing on the ground with Duanmu Huai appearing in her original position.

What kind of magic is this?

But before Zhi Jingxiang could react, Ogis reached out and launched her puppet string, thoroughly binding Saizeru.

By then, Duanmu Huai had once again joined them.

“Alright, let’s get out of here.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai glanced at the looming Demon Beast Army in the sky. He then casually grabbed the unconscious Saizeru by the collar and waved her in their direction. Seeing the Demon being held hostage, the Demon Beasts scrambled to retreat, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Yeah, okay….”

Zhi Jingxiang vacantly nodded in agreement before standing up. She looked at the unconscious Demon in Duanmu Huai’s hand and furrowed her brow.

“What are you doing with her?”

“An experiment.”

As he said this, Duanmu Huai shrugged.

“As you know.”

“Hold on… you’re really going to do this? Will it work?”

Zhi Jingxiang was no fool. She had heard Duanmu Huai mention his seemingly mad plan before, although at the time she had just shrugged it off.

But she didn’t expect that Duanmu Huai now seemed to actually be serious about it.

In response to Zhi Jingxiang’s query, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

“Will it work or not– won’t we find out once we give it a try?”

After that, Duanmu Huai, along with Ogis and Zhi Jingxiang, left the ruins and headed towards the Fortress City. Of course, Duanmu Huai did not forget his plan. On the way, they stopped to rest in a mansion that had been ransacked by the Demon Clan. Zhi Jingxiang, exhausted, quickly found a guest room to sleep in.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai left Ogis in charge of guarding and went to another room, tossing the bound Saizeru on the floor.

“Alright, stop playing dead. I know you woke up a while ago. If you continue to play possum, I will turn you into a real corpse.”

“What do you want?”

Realizing his deception has failed, Saizeru lifted his head, his gaze fiercely fixed on Duanmu Huai, and asked.

“Very simple,”

Duanmu Huai said, looking at Saizeru with a cold smile.

“You are a demon, right?”

“……yes.”

“Demons are considered as Demon Beasts, right?”

“What are you trying to say?”

At this moment, Saizeru frowned, gazing at Duanmu Huai, not understanding what this terrifying man intended to do.

“Oh, let me introduce myself. I’m Duanmu Huai, a Demon Beast Trainer … You understand what I mean now?”

“A Demon Beast Trainer? Demon Beast … Wait!!”

Saizeru muttered to himself, then suddenly realized.

Just now he asked if he himself was a Demon Beast and then introduced himself as a Demon Beast Trainer. Even an idiot would understand, right!

“You want me, a demon, to become your Familiar? Have you gone insane?”

Saizeru stared at Duanmu Huai in shock, not knowing what to say. Turning a demon into a familiar, such heretical idea, was the first time she heard someone really think of it!

“Whether it is possible or not, shouldn’t we try it out?”

“You must be dreaming!”

Saizeru jumped up at this moment, wishing she could bite Duanmu Huai to death.

“Don’t think that I’m unknown to this! A familiar requires mutual feelings to be tamed! Ordinary Demon Beasts may submit to you, but I, Saizeru, would rather die here than have mutual feelings with you!”

“Hmm, I’m quite clear about this.”

Duanmu Huai was of course very clear about this. Initially, in the snowy mountains, that perverted snow woman was almost scared to death by him, but still refused to sign the contract to become his familiar. So Duanmu Huai naturally expected this.

But this does not mean that he was unprepared.

Duanmu Huai already had an idea in mind, which he acquired from Princess Leia.

Initially, Princess Leia’s mind was twisted due to being brainwashed by the demon, but after she was whipped by Duanmu, she immediately became loyal to him. This is not because Duanmu’s skills are amazing, but simply because he left a trace of the Divine Power of the Black Flame within her, making Leia involuntarily feel close to him.

Now, it’s impossible to tame Saizeru, the demon, in the same way that he tamed Tutu, the maid, and Zhi Jingxiang. Duanmu Huai did not expect Saizeru to willingly become his familiar, so…..he planned to try it again!

So, without saying a word, Duanmu Huai unbuckled his belt, and the next moment, he unsheathed his sword and showed it to Saizeru!

“Yikes———!!”

Seeing this, Saizeru turned as pale as a sheet. If she still didn’t understand what Duanmu Huai was planning at this point, she must be an idiot!

“You, don’t come any closer! If you do, I will manipulate the cold energy to shatter your…piece!!”

At this moment, Saizeru was shocked, and a blast of cold energy erupted from her body. At this point, Saizeru was almost desperate,

However, in response to Saizeru’s threat, Duanmu Huai scoffed, following which, a blast of black flames erupted, directly enveloping his sword!

“Prepare yourself, Miss Demon. This is just the beginning!”

“NOOOOOOOO!!!”

At this moment, Saizeru was completely in despair.
