Chapter 25: Demons

"Urs, is that demon hiding over there?" Hearing Urs's roar, Thea immediately focused on the portal on the platform, but there didn't seem to be anything of special interest other than the mirror-like waving cottage in the arched door frame.

On the white platform, the roar of the young man quickly fell, but the figure of the enemy still did not appear.

Looking at the seemingly motionless front, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the tips of his teeth suddenly followed the corners of his mouth.

It doesn't come out, does it?

Never mind.

Immediately, he raised his left hand, which was wearing the Ring of Impact, forward.

“Cro-Atash!”

Phew——!

The air-tearing wind pressure immediately ejected from the surface of the ring, pulling a straight line in the air without any obstruction and blasting towards the location of the portal.

The spatial tunnel connecting two different planes would normally only teleport physical matter, and the wind blast generated by the Impact Ring would allow it to pierce the mirror image of the hut on the inside of the arched door frame, bombarding the portal with unmistakable accuracy.

Sharp currents swept through it like whistling knives, cutting a few light gray scratches on the white platform floor.

A swift black shadow flashed from behind the door, and a slender arm raised a weapon that did not look like a claw leapt from the air in front of Urs to launch a surprise attack that broke the stealth state.

For an abrupt moment, Urs also withdrew his left hand wearing the ring in time, and the right hand holding the sword shook his wrist to adjust the cursed blade to a backhand position and lifted it sideways, the black giant sword was half a door wide sword body like a heavy tower shield, and the next moment collided with an arc-shaped blade that was slashed up, and a piercing scream sounded.

It was undoubtedly a tooth-aching sound of metal colliding.

Born assassins and sadists, the Babu from the Abyssal Plane prides themselves on indulging in the art of killing and horror.

Inheriting both of these evil traits from its bloodline, Orokanshut has dark blue skin, a body roughly the shape and size of a six-foot-tall human, despicable, greedy, shameless, likes to use its own skillful stealth skills to hide behind opaque portals in mirrored images, and launches a one-hit sneak attack when the intruder is about to break out of the labyrinth of oil paintings, in addition to having a warrior class level, Specializes in using an exotic weapon called the Arc Sword to attack targets it targets in place of its claws.

The demon holding the curved sword was now pressing one end of the blade against the cursed blade in Urs's hand, and his foul mouth screamed and glared at the young man who blocked it, "Crazy human, I don't know how you found me, but aren't you afraid of destroying the portal that left here?" ”

Urs's scornful gaze glanced at the slanted corner of the edge of the greatsword, "It's a little unaccustomed to being praised crazy by a demon. ”

Then, with a free left hand, he pulled out the Golden Warbler Empire-style military sword at his waist that he had brought out from the Northland Snowfield, and stabbed it into the demon in front of him.

Due to the lack of mastery of the Dual Weapon Combat Mode specialty, Urs's off-hand weapon received a -50% accuracy and damage proficiency penalty when attacking, but the stab of his left longsword still pushed Orokanshut back some distance from his body.

The two warring sides then fell into a brief standoff.

With his hoof-like legs on his feet, he adjusted his claws that held the curved sword, and was about to launch another attack at Urs, when he suddenly saw a magic arrow of light flying towards it.

The holy archery that shone with pure light almost blended with the pure white platform floor.

Fortunately, the sword-wielding demon hurriedly tilted his head to the side, dodging this magic arrow full of positive energy attributes, and by the way, he noticed Thea standing behind Urs and performing magic spells.

It rolled its eyes, immediately shelving its thoughts, and instead followed a circuitous route trying to bypass the black-haired young man to surprise the white-robed silver-haired wolf-eared priest girl.

Seeing the demon's intentions, Urs immediately threw the military longsword in his left hand, turning the pitch-black greatsword called the Cursed Blade back to his two-handed state, and the eyes in his eyes turned blood-red as the berserk mode activated.

The Barbarian class's Advanced Berserk specialty has a daily limit of 3 uses, enough for him to activate twice in the same day.

Under the punishment of his deputy, who lacked dual-weapon expertise, the iron military longsword of the Golden Que Ying Empire swirled and flew to an outrageous position. Ignoring this inconsequential detail, the young man who activated the berserk soon approached Orokanshut's side, and swung his giant sword with far more brute force than ordinary people to slash at the demon's body with a wind-breaking slash.

Orokanshut's movements were so agile that the demon with the rank of a warrior jumped with his hooves. The black blade swept under its feet, it raised its curved long sword in mid-air, and glanced at the young man's head condescendingly with a vicious gaze, and the mind in his heart immediately changed again, and the sword in his hand was ready to be slammed down on the top of the young man's head.

The human head is a fatal point!

If this sword hits, Urs will surely die.

However, at the last moment, instead of considering any possibility of emergency evasion, the black-haired young man further strengthened his arms, using his waist pole as a rotating wheel shaft, wielding the giant sword he held in both hands to complete another continuous slash in this life-and-death moment.

This highly fluid and sometimes surprising combat technique is known as the "Whirlwind Slash" in the hands of advanced warrior professionals.

The pitch-black greatsword circled through his hand, slashing at the demon's body from the same direction for the second time with a force heavier than the previous blow.

This time, Orokanshut jumped up smartly, and there was no room to dodge at all.

Sensing the danger approaching, its eyes widened in horror, and before it could make any blocks or parries, it ate such a heavy slash solidly, and a scream from its throat flew from the air to the far side of the platform, and demonic blood splattered from its wounds in the form of jelly-like dark red slime.

Fortunately, the hard bones prevented it from being split in two by the young man with strange strength on the spot.

As for the dark red slime that splattered from its body, it was originally a protective film that wrapped around the surface of Babu Demon's skin, and had a corrosive effect that could instantly inflict 1d8 strong acid damage on any object that came into contact with the slime.

If a general whiteboard weapon is cut to the top, it is basically inevitable that it will be blunt or scrapped directly.

Unfortunately, the Cursed Blade is not a vanilla equipment, but a magic weapon with a +3 enchantment level.
