Jin Rou looked at the great demon who was expecting a response from him. In return, he could only laugh a little and look away.

"Don't tell me that you won't spare me...?!" Asmodeus assumed this was the case judging Jin Rou's reaction, "I did what you want me to do. It's not fair if you go back on your word!"

There was nothing he could do except whining. Jin Rou was very strong that it would be impossible for him, Asmodeus, to even scratch him.

"Can you calm down?" Jin Rou smirked, "Of course, I won't go back on my word. So calm your nerves. I'm going to spare you."

"Really?" It felt like something heavy was lifted on Asmodeus and could now breathe freely.

"Of course. You are a free man now." Jin Rou smiled, "Go, be on your way home and take a good rest."

Asmodeus observed Jin Rou and when he knew that the other party wasn't bluffing, he immediately pulled his weight and run away as soon as possible. It looked like he was running like his life was on the line.

After Asmodeus disappeared from Jin Rou's sight, he smiled and said, "While I truly spared you, I don't think that great demon will. Hmm, let's see if you can survive it."

Asmodeus was running away from this city. He needed to find a new place to hide. After all, he knew that Baal would hunt him down for killing Paimon. In terms of importance, Paimon was always the best thing for Baal. So naturally, he earned Baal's wrath and resentment by killing her.

He was traveling through space with a single step comparable to small worlds. He was giving his all in running away from potential danger he did.

However, before he could run away, a silhouette appeared in front of him. It was a familiar one that would surely make him tremble in fear. Aside from Jin Rou, he was afraid of this demon most.

"You really think you can run away?" It was Great Demon Baal. His expression was still calm and smiling, yet Asmodeus could feel the deep killing intent and rage hiding within the body.

"Get out of my way." Asmodeus tried to speak firmly. But it failed as his voice was still shaking.

"After killing Paimon, you want me to get out of your way?" Great Demon Baal smiled sinisterly. He already thought of ways of torturing Asmodeus until he cried for forgiveness, "You have committed a sin, and you have to pay for it."

"I only did that for survival! What choice do I have?! The enemy is so strong that we can't defeat him!" Asmodeus gritted his teeth, "Is it wrong to do everything to survive?"

"Whatever your reason is, you still committed a sin and that won't change." Baal sneered, "It's one thing for the enemy to kill Paimon, but instead you killed her. You won't get away that easy from me. So come here and accept your punishment, you have no choice here too."

"As if I'd let you!" Asmodeus equipped his Hell Axe and attacked Baal. It was a plain desperate attack to find a way to escape.

But, how could Baal let him do his way? He immediately sealed the place and used the Chains of Despairing Hell to bind Asmodeus on the ground.

"Ahh!" Asmodeus screamed in pain. The Chains of Despairing Hell was not just a tool for binding, it was also a tool for torture as it gave an intolerable heat burning the skin of the demons.

"I told you, you aren't going anywhere." Baal slowly walked up to him and smiled, "You'll be one of the ingredients of my grand spell, so be honored."

Hearing the words "grand spell", Asmodeus trembled in so much fear that his face looked horrified, "You're still not giving that up?!"

"Why would I? I just need a great demon's blood to perfect it." Baal smiled, "And you are the perfect one for that role. Be happy that you will still contribute to my works even it cost your life."

"You're nuts! Are you going to take down the whole Great Hell with you?!" Asmodeus was one of the top great demons of hell, so he knew something about what Baal was trying to achieve, "If you do that, our forefathers will not forgive you!"

"I don't care. They're all dead, anyway. So what can they do?" Baal smirked and said, "I have been stuck here for so long now. I think it's now high time for me to gain freedom from this place."

"Do you know that you will be destroying the balance if you push that?" Asmodeus could imagine an imminent catastrophe if ever Baal was successful in his plans, "Not only that, the old folks of the Upper Immortal will be angered to the point of trying to point their weapons at Great Hell! You will be a sinner of the demons and you will never be able to erase that no matter how long you live and repent it!"

"I'm fully aware of the consequences. But it won't stop me from achieving my goals." Baal opened his arms and said, "The wellbeing of Great Hell is none of my business. All I want is freedom."

Asmodeus wanted to say more. But, he could feel that his blood was being sapped out of his body slowly but surely, "You!!"

"You talk too much. So doing this might shut you up." Baal smiled like a devil, "Now, feel the very feeling of your blood being slowly sucked from you. Soon, you will be nothing but a flat piece of meat that doesn't have anything."

Asmodeus screamed and cursed for an entire five hours before coming into a stop. The sucking of his blood was giving him excruciating pain that he wanted it to finish immediately. Right now, all he wanted was to die.

"Hmm, almost there." Baal observed the bottle where he stored Asmodeus' blood, "Just a little more and I'll be able to use the grand spell freely."

"Oh? That's good for you, then." Suddenly, a lazy voice came around.

Baal's alertness raised into its maximum point as he looked at the newcomer, "Who are you?"

Baal's sensitivity was always at its peak, so he usually detect living beings around him. However, he couldn't detect this man until he decided to show himself.

"Just a passerby, nothing much." Of course, it was Jin Rou.
