…… But the outside world is not necessarily safer than the inside of the house.

Tongues of fire lick the streets.

Tears of the Eye of the Abyss dripped unstoppably, and two conspicuous craters were visible on the main road in the Sixteenth block of the affluent area of Twilight City, causing the surrounding area to become the scene of several fires.

Under the blazing fire, the ruins are tilted, and the shadows of people deduce the struggle for survival on them.

The figure was armed with a long weapon, and in the face of a behemoth approaching him, a friendly reminder from his companion sounded: "Eddie, watch out for its claws—uh! ”

The victim who spoke out was a patrol guard in the affluent neighborhood of Twilight. The sword in his hand had been broken, and the assailant had fallen under the claws of the monster because of his good intentions, and the assailant looked like another disembowelment demon that had fallen on the street.

This disembowelment had a very different fate from the one who died under the sword of Urs. It was lucky not to have to deal with the dog-like barbarian captain of the Thorn Squad, and it was still easy to deal with the patrolling guards in the city, especially if there was another high-ranking demon by its side.

The High Demon...... Well, maybe not too high, but at least it's more powerful than a disembowelment demon with no means to cast spells.

Its species is called Berserker, and as its name suggests, it is a hand-to-hand toad, looking like a huge toad that is large and able to walk upright, reaching eight feet tall, with a wide mouth showing rows of teeth, long body spines lined up along its back, two thick forelimbs with strong arms, and a hideous claw at the tip of the hand that is almost the standard of the demon race.

Another man, Eddie Horford, was the captain of the patrol guard who happened to be passing by the neighborhood. He held a halberd in his hand, and faced the berserk demon approaching him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his subordinates being disemboweled: "Lonsco—no!" ”

At the same time, the Berserker didn't seem to bother to use his spell-like abilities against the captain of the guard, and simply raised his thick forelimbs and slapped them on the top of the latter's head like giant bear paws.

Unable to confront such a massive demon head-on, Eddie had to dodge and kick his legs to the side, counteracting his inertia with the moment his body hit the ground and tumbling motions.

The streets around here are strewn with the corpses of many human guards, all of whom were his men when they were alive, as well as a few guards who had been on duty at the gates of several villa buildings along the street.

The firelight burned the man's brown face red. He stood up with his arms propped up, and the figure of the Disembowelment appeared next to him, forcing him to hurriedly raise his halberd for a defensive parry.

It's a pity that the movements seem to be a little slower.

Eddie's heart was cold, and his heart was finished, and then he saw the demon's claw arm swinging towards his head, but the ugly head suddenly detached from his body at this moment of life and death, and flew out like a ball in the air with a bloody whirl.

The headless demon fell, and the black blade dripping with the remaining blood burst into the man's sight.

He took a sharp breath of air, realizing that he was still alive, and then saw that the owner of the giant sword had come to his side at some point, and a memory from a few days ago involuntarily asked from his mouth: "Are you... Captain Urs of the Thorn Squad?! ”

Urs had just burst out of a stronghold of the villa that was almost all about to become a dilapidated building.

The young man checked the kill prompt in his mind as usual, and the blood-red eyes that remained in a state of rage turned his head to look at him, and he was suddenly slightly surprised: "Eddie Horford? ”

He remembered the captain of the guard, who had met him during his mission in the Cave of Bones, and thought to himself that it was because the ghost mage in the depths of the Cave of Bones had already been dealt with by himself, so Twilight had transferred him back to the city from the outside?

Possibly.

But now is clearly not the time to reunite with acquaintances.

The berserkers on the streets immediately noticed Urs, who had intervened in the battle. The massive demonic monster turned its gaze and was as excited as a hunter who had discovered a new prey, but just as it was about to charge towards the young man and the captain of the guard, it was struck in the chest by an arrow that flew straight towards it.

Groeldon's sour tooth crossbow is very strong. The strong acid damage attached to the crossbow had no effect on the demonic creature, but although the strong push was not enough to knock it back, it still stopped it for a second, and the toad-like body leaned back slightly.

The old thief's long-range shot bought Urs and Eddie time to adjust their positions. The young man and the captain of the guard hurriedly moved their steps back, and then joined up with the other team members who had also rushed from behind the two of them.

"With the fire on top, this big guy doesn't look like it's easy to deal with!" Koto habitually stood firm in front of everyone, his left arm, which had recovered from his injuries, resting on the blue fortress shield at an angle that had been lifted forward from his gaze.

His big voice is still brave and bold.

Raven Finch put her fingertips on the strings of the lute and prepared to play her musical spells, and her black-robed feet stood in the back row of the line with the wolf-eared girl and the old thief, and her hoarse voice did not mock the dwarf's speech this time. She has a dissolute personality and rarely keeps herself deliberately calm, but tonight's calamity is a special case.

Then the Berserker took action, his massive form dashing towards the dwarven warrior closest to him at the moment.

Thea watched the battle, lifted the emblem in her left hand, and applied brute force to Koto in time. The dwarf's strength was temporarily strengthened, and the fortress shield met the demon's onslaught, making a tingling sound that made the scalp tingle to hear, and fended off the giant clawed palm.

He gritted his teeth, and his short body like a wooden pier did not flinch, and he vaguely felt that the power of this demon did not seem to be as terrifying as he imagined, I don't know if it was because its strength was not as exaggerated as its size, or because the blocking effect of the fortress shield was really good, or because Xia's magic helped a lot.

But the demon's attack doesn't stop there. The Berserker Demon is proficient in grappling, and the surface of his skin full of pus also secretes a layer of body fluids with a strong foul smell, which is good to be far away, but once it gets close, the smoke makes the dwarven warrior almost faint on the spot.

The terrible smell was almost enough for the mage's stinky cloud technique, and the temperature of this burning street was not low......

"Despicable demons! Three indiscriminate cheap tricks! Hmm——! Koto's eyes widened, and he cursed angrily, accidentally inhaling the breath in front of him, and suddenly felt his stomach turn upside down.

The warrior of the clan said that his distant relatives, the dwarves of the valley, were definitely much cleaner and more hygienic than this bastard demon.

The jay subconsciously held its breath, and before the foul smell could spread, the right hand left the strings of the lute, and the slender fingers danced a dark elf drow sign language like a trick, and then condensed the magic spell to the tip of the index finger a little forward.

Air Filter, a simple 2-ring spell that can counteract magical effects that require the use of gas, or simply remove harmful gases and odors from the air.
