Chapter 38: The Line Between Life and Death
The circular magic array that suddenly appeared behind Roger instantly burst red, and a huge figure appeared in a cruel laugh.
Hell Clan's Eighth-Order Alchemy Advanced Class: Great Devil!
"Wow Ka!"
The big devil, who was more than four meters tall and had a pair of long horns, laughed loudly and waved the giant axe in his hand!
Roger, who subconsciously dodged to the side, directly collided with a rushing figure, but because of this, Roger, who was rolling around on the ground, happened to avoid the big devil's slash.
Seeing that his prey was still dying, the Great Devil snorted coldly and continued to pursue.
The alchemy druid elder Sacco on the side rushed up directly, picked up the staff in his hand and directly hit the great devil's axe.
The Great Devil was disturbed by this blow, and the direction of the axe suddenly tilted, and he rubbed Roger's cheek diagonally and slashed heavily on the ground.
The big devil who missed twice in a row roared very unhappily, and directly cut Sacco into two pieces with his backhand!
"Hawke!" As soon as he pushed the person away from him, Roger yelled eagerly.
As soon as Hawke's hand was released, the feathered arrows on the bow "swished" and pierced directly into the big devil's body. The wound is not deep, but it has successfully left the Demon Hunter's skill "Demon Hunting Mark" on the Great Devil.
Demon Hunter Marker: Twice as powerful as your next attack!
The five phantom archers opened their bows in unison, and the great devil's crisis intuition suddenly issued a warning. With a slap of foot, the Great Devil was ready to launch the teleportation spell again and run away.
At this moment, a hand reached over and grabbed the big devil's foot tightly, and the big devil's teleportation technique suddenly failed.
It's Nicolas!
The Great Devil kicked half of Sacco's body away, and hurriedly activated the teleportation spell again.
But this time it was too late.
"Whoosh!"
It sounds like an arrow roaring, but in fact it is five feathered arrows leaving the string at the same time!
With a "poof" sound, the Great Devil disappeared into the teleportation array.
In front of the gate of the manor, the circular teleportation array on the ground emitted bursts of red light, and the great devil quietly appeared from it.
With the help of the alchemy elf archers, the earth elementals who had already killed all the abyss lords continued to attack the Great Devil in unison.
However, the mighty Great Devil fell directly under the nearest Earth Elemental Fist.
The big axe that came out of his hand rolled twice on the ground and came to a quiet stop.
The Great Devil is dead!
The fist-sized wounds that completely pierced the front and back of the body explained why.
Without the opponent's five earth elements and the only remaining wind element, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
But at this time, Roger had no heart to think about these summoned creatures that were about to return to the elemental plane, and he pounced on Sacco's side.
"Sacco!" Roger's shouts were a little painful, a little regretful, and a little unwilling.
Sacco slowly opened his eyes, but everyone knew that he was unlikely to survive. Sacco's blood, which had been directly cut down by the Great Devil, was splattered on the ground, and the beating of the heart, which was clearly visible in his chest, was slowly stopping.
Ignoring Roger, who was blaming himself, Sacco looked at his fellow man: Ina Emerald, who was also an alchemy druid elder. Ina looked at Sacco quietly, not making any sound, just a question in her eyes.
Sacco's gaze turned to the other side, and not far from his lower body, Roger's flag was fluttering in the wind.
Ina silently walked over and reached out to hold the flagpole.
Sacco silently closed his eyes, and his heart slowly stopped beating.
"Brother Roger ......"
Anne stepped forward with Mom, her face still lingering with fear, and Mom's hands were even trembling slightly.
"It's not your fault." Roger still lowered his head, his voice seemed very flat, but he still couldn't hide the sadness in his words, "It's me who underestimated the strength of the eighth-order alchemy class. ”
In fact, Anne was the first to discover the teleportation array of the Great Devil, and the first reminder came from Anne's mouth.
But that's it, as Roger said, it was he who underestimated the might of the top alchemy class.
In fact, everyone is underestimated, far underestimated.
Anne could only give that warning, and her strength was still at the middle level, and she trembled under the evil power of the Great Devil.
Mu Mu didn't take the eighth-order alchemy demon clan seriously, and when Roger and Hawke discussed information, she was the most careless. However, at the moment when the Great Devil appeared, she, who was supposed to be the guard, froze under the power of the Great Devil. The orc blood in her body was warning her that the great devil was far from being an opponent she could face if she had not been able to break through the top-tier strength.
Shocked on the spot, Mom failed to do anything.
To this day, Mom's hand holding the hammer was still faintly trembling.
And Hawke, who was a demon hunter, should have been the calmest of all the people present at the time, after all, the ability of the demon hunter made him completely ignore the power of the great devil. Ever since the Great Devil emerged from the teleportation array, he had been preparing the "Demon Hunting Mark".
However, he was the furthest away from him, and there was nothing he could do to help except release arrows and direct the Phantom Shooter to attack, after all, the distance was too far.
"Uh, Brother Roger, are you alright?" Aisha limped over, and Anne glared at her directly, but it was clear that Aisha didn't care, but Hawke, who had just noticed her, was surprised.
"Well, it's okay, let me be alone." Roger still had his head down.
Aisha stuck out her tongue and quietly walked over to Anne.
"Why do you look like nothing is going on?" Anne directly communicated with Elsa's heart with a psychic connection, and said in her heart.
"Well, maybe it's because I was patronizing Brother Roger at the time, that sheep's head or something, so people didn't have time to care about it." Aisha pursed her lips, looking indifferent.
"Sheep, sheep's head? Should it be said that the ignorant are fearless? Anne's mouth grew in shock, and her face was incredulous. The eighth-order alchemy class of the dignified hell, the top-level great devil, is it just an indifferent sheep's head in Aisha's eyes?
"No, it must have been that Aisha was completely focused on Roger at that time, so she resisted the instinctive warning with a strong will." Mom interjected suddenly, startling Anne and Elsa.
"Huh! Naa! Sister Mum opened her mouth! Uh, no, it's a heart-to-heart exchange, and there's no opening. Elsa's surprise was completely ignored by Mom.
"Looks like Elsa is the toughest of us all?" Anne wasn't surprised at all, after all, the psychic connection was initiated by her, although she didn't expect Mom to suddenly speak, but the psychic connection she had always been habitually connected to Mom, but it was rare to feel Mom's thoughts.
"But be careful, Roger doesn't seem surprised by Elsa's appearance." Mom said it plainly, but Anne was taken aback.
"Well, when I pounced on Big Brother Roger just now, there really wasn't any surprise on his face, but he was a little more distressed." Aisha also nodded in agreement, and when she saw Roger's expression, she knew that the matter had already been exposed.
"Listening" to the words of the two, Anne immediately cried and laughed, "In this case, what are we suffering all these days for......
The three girls fell silent in unison.
In fact, Aisha has been following behind since the beginning, but she has never dared to show up, after all, Aisha, who has not been able to enter the mid-level strength until now, Roger obviously will not agree to let Aisha get close to the battlefield.
But in the eyes of Anne and Mumm, Elsa's strength is not weak, but for some reason, neither the Rogue nor the Druid class has been able to break through to the middle level.
So Anne and Mom teamed up to conceal Elsa's whereabouts, and Elsa's rations were also saved by Anne and Mom from their share. Of course, it is not enough for three people to divide the food for two people.
But as a result, Roger seems to have discovered the clues......
While the girls whispered with a psychic connection, and Roger mourned Sacco and reflected on his own omissions, only the hard-working Hawke commanded the alchemist elves to clean up the battlefield.
The three Abyss Lords should have been summoned by the Great Devil, and after the death of the Great Devil, the bodies of the Abyss Lords had all dissipated out of thin air.
As for those enchantresses and horned demons, this kind of low-level demons are actually of little value, and they are quite troublesome to deal with, so Hawk simply burned them all.
The demon's resistance to fire damage is indeed very high, but the dead guy doesn't have that strong resistance, it's just to burn for a longer time.
When cleaning up the body, Hawke also accidentally found a demon queen who pretended to be dead, and the seriously injured demon queen immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that she was willing to sign a contract to serve Hawke as the lord, just to live and so on.
This is the disadvantage of directly transforming the low-level demons into alchemy troops, without the direct leadership of the hell heroes, even if there is a high-level demon clan, it is still not difficult for the low-level alchemy demons with their own will. Similar situations are not uncommon in Terran territories that convert their citizens into troops.
And because of the induction between the heroes, the heroes of hell will be surrounded and suppressed by the heroes as soon as they appear, unless they are disguised as ordinary human beings by means of possession and other means, they can barely suppress the induction between heroes.
Obviously, at this critical moment, it is impossible for Viscount Barak, who is desperate with the cardinal, to send another hell hero to guard the manor.
Seeing that Hawke had been unmoved, the enchantress who burst into tears shook aside and turned into a lovely elf girl, tearfully saying that she would transform, no matter what the owner liked, she could change; She can cook, and the Enchantress with fire-like abilities has no problem learning to make human dishes: she can also take care of household chores, clean and so on.
Then it was slaughtered by Hawke.
The head that the enchantress had dropped to the ground was full of disbelief in her eyes.
If it is an academic mage, they may choose to sign a contract and use the Enchantress to conduct various live experiments or, as the Enchantress says, to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous items.
Living demons are rare, and the Church of the Gods has been working hard to exterminate demons, so much so that if the current magicians want to find a demon or a devil to use as a teaching material, they can only ask the older generation of legendary mages to borrow specimens.
But for Hawke, who lost his family because of the demons.
Demons, clans, must, death!
No exceptions!
Maybe half-demons and other demons, Hawke can barely open the net, but if you want a pure demon like the demon queen, all of them are within the scope of his revenge!
The reason why the Demon Chasers are so powerful is that the Hunters have given up all other aspects of their ability to improve and devote all their energy to fighting the demons.
Just like Carter Buga, just like Hawk Buga.
After cleaning up all the alchemy demons, Hawke entered the manor alone.
Annie and the others are not worried about Hawke's safety, the survivability of demon hunters is actually quite strong, especially in matters related to the demon race, the top-level demon hunters are enough to compete with the legendary ranger class.
That's why Hawke and his father chose the path of demon hunters, they can't wait the long time it takes to become a legend.
After all, the traces of the demons ten years ago have been confirmed to be just the vanguard of the demons, and even now the demons are attacking the main plane on a large scale, it is not surprising.
This is also the reason why the Church of the Gods is so nervous about the demon trail in the south of the Falcon Principality, and if you are not careful, you may have to officially start a war with the demons.
