Chapter 266 The Demon Iteragan
The dungeon was dark and terrifying, with only a torch burning with a faint orange light on the wall, illuminating the place with an unpredictable flickering glow.
As Connors fell into the dungeon with the two little girls in his arms, he heard the sound of hinges turning coming from deep within the dungeon.
A pair of red eyes gleamed in the darkness, accompanied by a whispering, demonic murmur.
This scene, which would be a climax in a horror movie, is obviously not very effective against the "Lord of Justice," even though they have regressed to the age of children.
Clang!
The "Lord Heroine's" protective silver bracelets collided violently, and a visible shockwave spread out toward those red eyes.
"Lord Superman" eyes glowed red, about to use his "heat vision" to deliver a vicious blow to his opponent.
"Lord Green Lantern" was responsible for making gun-like gestures with both hands and firing countless green lights into the walls in all directions, illuminating the dungeon in a green glow.
The "Lord Bat" remained silent, its head slightly lowered, its entire face hidden in shadow. Combined with the surrounding greenish light, it was hard to tell whether the red eyes were more frightening or the "Lord Bat" itself was more terrifying.
As it turned out, the "Lord Bat" was even more terrifying at this moment. Its red eyes in the darkness widened suddenly, then moved left and right before quickly retreating into the depths of darkness.
"Don't be afraid, we were also—"
"Lord Bat" started speaking, then turned to look at Connors.
He instinctively assumed that Connors knew the little boy's name and didn't hesitate at all.
"Mordred," Connors whispered, not wanting to disappoint the "Lord Bat."
"Lord Bat" nodded, continuing to look at the pair of red eyes in the darkness:
"We were also thrown into the dungeon by 'Mordred,' so maybe we can help you in some way."
As he spoke, the "Lord Bat" took a few steps into the darkness.
But the owner of those red eyes seemed to be terrified, his vision blurred, and a red light shone from beneath his eyes, rapidly spreading toward the "Lord Bat".
It was a blazing fireball, flying at an incredible speed. Even "Lord Superman" and "Lord Woman" didn't have time to react before the fireball was already in front of "Lord Bat".
Just as the child version of Bruce was about to be disfigured, Connors swiftly used "Teleportation" to instantly appear next to "Lord Bat" and lifted him up with one hand.
The short-armed, short-legged "Lord Bat" was dangled in the air by Connors's cloak, but thankfully he managed to dodge the fireball.
"Hal, why does this light source look so eerie?" Connors said, looking at the green surroundings, especially the pale green face of the "Lord Bat" that he had lifted into the air.
"Lord's Green Light" spread his hands:
"Go ahead, you always have a way."
Connors didn't make a move. Instead, he addressed the two "Poison Ivy Lolis" who had remained in place because of his "teleportation":
"Ivy, Ashley, put some light on."
The two little girls were no slouch either. Holding hands, they used "Green of All Things" simultaneously, and plants immediately grew rapidly in the dungeon, densely occupying all the space.
Even the dim torch on the wall was extinguished, and the green light produced by the "Lord's Green Lamp" was also covered, plunging the dungeon into absolute darkness in an instant.
But then a faint white glow appeared, followed by more soft glow.
Purple, white, pink, blue—countless glowing plants and algae were created by the two "Poison Ivy Lolis," turning the dungeon into a brightly lit place.
With enough light, the "Lords of Justice" were able to see the owner of those red eyes in the darkness.
It was a demon with yellowish-brown skin, red eyes, pointed ears, and sharp claws on its hands and feet.
A cute little devil who is less than a meter tall.
He was dressed in a red battle suit and had a deep blue cloak like lake water draped over his back. He was baring his teeth at the "Lords of Justice" with an attitude of "I'm not someone to be trifled with."
His claws, with their sharp nails, were half-covering his eyes, as if he dared not look at the "Lord Bat," who was suspended in mid-air by Connors, motionless like a hanged ghost.
Connors, with his sharp eyes, even noticed that there seemed to be a misty haze in those red eyes, as if they had been frightened to tears by the "Lord Bat" just now.
"So how long do you plan to keep carrying me like this?"
"Lord Bat" let his arms and legs hang naturally, expressionless as he tilted his head to look at Connors, who was still holding his cloak.
Connors suppressed a laugh as he slowly placed the "Lord Bat" on the ground.
But not far away, the devilish little guy seemed terrified when he saw the "Lord Bat" being put down, and another fireball flew straight at him from his mouth.
Connors had no choice but to resort to the same trick again, lifting the "Lord Bat" into the air once more.
"Lord Bat": "［·_·？]"
As soon as Connors put down the "Lord Bat" with a sullen expression, the little devil standing not far away shot a fireball, leaving Connors somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Lord Bat" had a black face the whole time, as if everyone present owed him money.
After this happened several times, the kind-hearted "Lady of the House" came to the rescue, shouting loudly at the little devil opposite her:
"Stop! You little devil!"
She struck a commanding pose, hands on her hips, and reprimanded the little devil in a clear, girlish voice:
"You wretched, stupid, utterly wicked little devil!"
Now the imp stopped spitting fireballs at the "Lord Bat" and his attention had clearly shifted to the "Lord Woman's" reprimanding words.
He opened his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and then burst into loud sobs.
"The Lady Warrior": "(
She lowered her voice and leaned close to Connors, cupping one hand together as she whispered:
"What kind of demon is this? Connors, you must know."
I've never read any comics about this guy. If it weren't for the storyline in Swamp Thing where he single-handedly challenges the ultimate darkness of the DC universe—a colossal beast on par with God—I really wouldn't know his name. Connors recalled memories that he would never forget, and also made a whispering gesture:
"His name is Itrigan, a demon with a tragic fate—but not a bad one."
"So, what should we do with this Itregan, this demon baby?"
"Lord Greenlight," looking at them who were less than half the height of children and clearly infants, scratched his head.
"I will go and pave the way for us to get out."
He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly darted aside to get busy.
"I'll help you." "Lady of the Lords" turned and ran.
"Of course I'm needed for this kind of physically demanding job." "Lord Superman" also ran off.
The "Lord Bat," who had just been put down by Connors, silently took three steps back, repeatedly chanting in his mind:
"You can't see me—"
But Connors grabbed the imp Ittrigger's cloak and threw it at the "Lord Bat":
"I already have two people who need my care, so I can only entrust him to you."
