This Lich Requests More Remuneration

Cambion furiously punched the nose of one of his own kind before him, striving to make their injuries as severe as his own.

The cambion who had been ambushed by him hadn’t had time to react. By the time the others realized something was amiss, Cambion had already succeeded in breaking the noses of four cambions to match his own.

Thanks to the Silence Barrier’s effect, he was able to smash a cambion’s nose with a punch without making any sound, making it easy to ambush the second one.

With a wipe of the blood, they all looked pretty much the same.

This was the survival tactic Cambion had come up with.

As a more experienced half-breed devil, he knew that to many races, cambions looked similar, and outsiders were often distracted by their red skin, twisted horns, and devilish wings, rarely able to quickly discern the real differences in facial features.

So as long as he smashed the noses of the other cambions, he might be able to create confusion.

Moreover, after his ambush, he paid close attention to the situation on the other side, until he saw that unfortunate soul turned into a zombie by the terrifying undead girl who glanced towards the barrier, at which point Cambion angrily grabbed a dazed cambion, roaring, "You damned bastard, you ambushed me?!"

Whether or not any sound could be made inside the Silence Barrier didn’t matter; he had to act out his part thoroughly. What if they could read lips?

By the time Melina looked towards the barrier, the cambions inside were already in disarray.
