Chapter 3517: Demon Possessor

The demon's gaze already had the ability to freeze everything, and the effect of tens of thousands of gazes superimposed in the narrow room was quite terrifying. But fortunately, the "First Fire Ember" state manifested at this moment. Xia De pulled out his left hand from his pocket and then fiercely slashed with the black dagger against demons gifted by the doctor.

Although this dagger was prepared to deal with nightmare demons, the doctor said it also had a damaging effect on other demons.

The dagger was attached with crimson flames, and the knife marks left crimson traces in the air that lingered for a long time, blocking the most dangerous gaze coming from the direction of the "demon's main body." The *Crack, Crack* shattering sounds kept ringing as the knife marks swept past; the ice particles exploded one by one, and Xia De also retreated immediately.

He already knew that this thing probably couldn't be dealt with easily, but the demon had already silently walked out from the ice particles behind him. The other party clearly looked like a young woman with black hair and black eyes, her face as pale as a dead person's, but other than that, neither her clothing nor attire looked like an evil spirit demon.

"The demon is attached to a living person's body! So that's it; it uses this method to minimize the environmental impact of this hotel!"

Xia De understood and immediately swung the flame-attached dagger at the demon again. The demon indeed subconsciously dodged to the side, so Xia De bumped into the room door and rushed into the corridor.

For some reason, not a single bit of the chill in the room flowed into the corridor. The corridor was not completely lightless; the glowing "Safe Room" 1024 door was right in the second room on the left.

Xia De wanted to close the door immediately after going out, and then saw the demon standing straight inside the room door looking at him. And at the very last moment when the door was about to close, amidst the rustling freezing sound, he saw a flash of ice-blue figure suddenly appear in the demon's black pupils.

That figure opened its mouth toward Xia De in the demon's pupils, and the lip shape was clearly saying "Save me" in the language of this era.

But with a *Bang~*, the door closed anyway. The pale figure stood behind the door, staring straight at the door, and only after a long time did it turn and walk toward the corner of the room.

*Bang~*, the door was kicked open from the outside again. Xia De, holding the holy sword 【Dawn of Breaking】, slashed a sword at the demon's back. But the dazzling light of dawn missed, only slashing open a layer of faint ice mist, while the demon appeared in the frost in front of Xia De, and in the next second after appearing, it was stabbed in the heart by Xia De, who had already anticipated it:

"False Immortality!"

A piercing shriek spread throughout the entire corridor, and several malicious gazes from the depths of the dark corridor peered toward here.

But Xia De had no time to pay attention to these. The extremely cold airflow sprayed by that pale face hit his head directly, and he even lost consciousness for two seconds because of it.

And when consciousness returned, the pale young woman had already closed her eyes and tilted forward. Behind her, a translucent black shadow was struggling desperately, trying to return to her body, while the black dagger that had pierced into that body was rapidly becoming decayed.

"Moon Fire!"

Xia De, holding the girl whose body was frighteningly cold, opened his mouth and sprayed. The dazzling silver flames dispersed the black shadow behind the girl, completely driving the demon out of her body.

The demon, because it was hit head-on by Moon Fire, even lunged toward the depths of the room amidst shrieks. At the same time, another wave of frost with black aura rushed toward Xia De.

Xia De, feeling his head still stiff, directly carried the girl out of the room door and then kicked the door shut. However, he didn't know if it was because the demon was originally in the room, so no key appeared.

The girl he was holding opened her eyes in confusion at this time, and then only felt the world spinning. Because Xia De directly pressed her onto the corridor floor, Miss Novare, the vampire who wanted to help, was startled, and only then noticed that Xia De had pressed the borrowed 【Demon Hunting Seal】 onto her forehead.

He was so forceful that the red-haired vampire witch even suspected that he could print the pattern of the seal onto the stranger's forehead just by strength alone.

And after discovering that the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 had no reaction to the other party, Xia De quite roughly pulled out the stopper of the holy water and forced her to drink it.

The weak girl hadn't figured out what had happened, so she was directly choked. But Xia De didn't care about this. After forcing her to drink those liquids, he carried her back to Room 1024 like holding a human-shaped doll.

Miss Novare also followed back, locking the darkness and danger of the corridor outside. The firelight of the room's fireplace shone on their bodies, and only then did Xia De breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he did not explain to Miss Gerde, the middle-aged witch who came to find her mother, and Miss Corns, the hunter, but instead used the 【Dawn of Breaking】 in his hand to point at the stranger who was still coughing weakly.

The latter had black hair and black eyes, the same appearance as Xia De saw just now, only her face was not as pale as before.

Seeing her beautiful appearance, one knew she was a witch, only her level should not be very high. Although the demon was driven away, the demon's power still remained on her body, making the elements in her body very chaotic, so Xia De could not accurately determine her specific level.

She sat on the floor in front of the fireplace, her right hand pressing on the floor to support her body, her left hand constantly patting her chest to tell herself not to cough anymore. The sword in Xia De's hand was pointed at her heart position.

Just now in the demon's room, there was a filthy mark of an evil spirit demon floating above her head, and now the mark on her head was quite blurry, as if multiple marks were superimposed together.

Xia De knew that the 【Destiny Manual】's ability to identify races was not omnipotent; Miss Corns didn't have a demon mark on her head, so he wouldn't let his guard down, because he wouldn't bring danger into everyone's safe house just to save someone.

"You need to explain in detail your..."

But just as he opened his mouth, the black-haired girl closed her eyes and tilted to the floor. Xia De still wanted to ask "Are you faking it?", but Miss Gerde and Miss Corns had already gone to check her condition.

"Are you being too cautious?"

The vampire witch asked from the side. Xia De looked serious, still holding the sword and watching the unconscious girl, preventing her from suddenly attacking people:

"I cannot bring danger to everyone because of my kindness. And who knows how long she was possessed by the demon? She might even come from the Fourth Era. I know too well how strange and dangerous the methods of those ancient evil spirits are, and this hotel itself is not a safe place, so it is necessary to be cautious."

Miss Corns soon completed the preliminary examination:

"Although I don't know what means you used, she shouldn't be controlled by a demon now. We have to trust the power of this safe house; if she really had a problem, she wouldn't be able to enter here at all."

If this safe house were omnipotent, these three companions who might all have problems shouldn't be able to enter either.

"Then how is she now?"

Miss Novare asked again. Although Miss Gerde didn't understand demons, she was the most skilled in healing among the three witches. She also said when she introduced herself that she was originally a researcher at the Zalas Academy:

"The soul is seriously damaged, just one step away from soul withering. And although she looks like a human, her actual race shouldn't be human. It's just that she has maintained her current appearance for too long, and her body is instinctively keeping her current posture."

"Then can she become our helper?"

The vampire witch asked again. Miss Gerde shook her head:

"At least for now, it's not possible. What she needs most now is rest. I still have some materials in my hand, and I can first prepare some magic potions to heal soul injuries. But even with magic potions, her condition is still very dangerous."

"If this were not a hotel but a normal world, I would actually suggest she find a 13th-level witch or even a demigod skilled in soul power to treat herself. She is not soul-injured, but her soul is withering. Let her stay here for now; even if she wakes up, I'm afraid she won't even be able to beat an ordinary person."

"Perhaps she knows some secrets of the hotel; even if she can't become a helper, providing some information is good."

The vampire girl said so, and also agreed to let her stay temporarily.

Xia De then said:

"After all, she was possessed by a demon for a long time, so we'd better be more cautious. I have magic potions here, Miss Gerde, please feed her some more. Also, all of us should drink some of this magic potion; this can prevent the soul from being soaked by the demon's power."

Xia De said, taking out the special potion provided by the doctor that could allow dreams and reality to briefly blend. The blue potion looked a bit like the color of the sky. It, of course, didn't have the power to prevent the demon's power from soaking the soul, but normal people wouldn't have other problems after drinking it.

He divided the potion into five parts and added some holy water, then first let Miss Gerde feed it to the unknown black-haired girl, and then he himself drank the magic potion in one gulp.

The taste of the magic potion was slightly bitter, but not particularly hard to drink. Miss Novare, the vampire, and Miss Gerde didn't suspect that the magic potion had problems and also drank it.

Xia De had already made it very clear that this potion could prevent the demon's power from soaking the soul, but Miss Corns didn't hesitate to drink the potion either. It seemed that the demon in the dream was quite confident in herself.

Nothing happened afterward; after all, the doctor also said that the potion needed to be used in conjunction with the dagger to be effective. Xia De was not in a hurry to act, but returned the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 and 【Dawn of Breaking】 to the female hunter, further lowering the demon's guard, and only then sat down in front of the fireplace and asked about what happened during his absence.

Just now, he had hurriedly broken in after knocking on the door in the way agreed upon when he left last time, borrowed the sword and ring, and hurriedly returned to the corridor, so he hadn't asked about the situation of the witches. ===== CHAPTER 3518 =====
