1398 Demon Hunter
The sheep-headed demon seems to only use its own body in terms of attack methods, but mysterious phenomena are everywhere, but when ordinary people fight it in a normal way, they can only experience normal frustration. Only when you can use "mystery" yourself, can you speculate on the mystery of this sheep-headed demon through this "mystery".
The sheep-headed demon's ten-meter-tall body almost broke through the ceiling of the church. Relative to its size, the space of this hall is also quite narrow. Its pace is slow, but that doesn't mean it's moving and reacting as slow, and whenever I go into a speed-skimming state and circle around it, it never turns its back on me. Its eyeballs are eerie, and I suspect it can see directly behind itself.
Even the mystery of the sheep-headed demon makes the Swift Sweep Super not as powerful as it used to be. Relative speed and relative speed need to be looked at separately in some cases, and I have always been much faster in the past, but the demon born from the sacrificial ritual in front of me, although it cannot eliminate the concept of speed and the relatively fast characteristic, is the only thing I have seen in terms of the ability to eliminate the speed difference.
I suspect that perhaps this is a deliberate act of the Doomsday Shinrikyo - they sent out a number of occult experts with the ability to move at high speeds, but in the end they were unable to find out the secret of the swift skimming from me, so they had to assume that my speed was absolute, maybe it wasn't, but they might have decided to assume it.
Based on the premise that "no one can surpass me in speed", the Doomsday Shinrikyo decided what kind of characteristics the demons that were finally sacrificed should have.
I don't know if my guess is correct, but it's also possible that in fact, the Doomsday Shinrikyo does not have such a powerful ability to "customize demons", after all, even in the ruins of the Ruling Bureau, there are no clues to prove it. The Ruling Bureau's technology against demons has reached this stage. And has the Doomsday Shinrikyo transcended the reign of extinction? The answer is hard to imagine.
However, even if the Doomsday Shinrikyo only sets the sacrifices and methods of the sacrifice ritual for me within a general range, and then summons a demon with characteristics within a fixed range, there will definitely be some kind of power. Channel this demonic trait as much as you can towards the goal of "most likely to kill me".
Because, if they can't do that, then there's no way to summon demons specifically for a particular occult expert.
Within a certain range of strength, the Demon Summoning Ritual of the Doomsday Shinrikyo was quite successful, at least, even I, a fourth-level Demon Emboldener, didn't have a problem with this sheep-headed demon for the time being.
The mystery of the sheep-headed demon did not completely negate the advantage of the quick raid. But I was only able to keep the maximum speed difference of "half a second". It is only during this half second that all the actions of this demon will appear to "pause", a phenomenon of a huge difference in relative speed. Once more than half a second is exceeded, the difference in velocity is instantly compensated - at least in my observations, there is simply no way to use this moment to do more.
Half a second of pause was my advantage, but it wasn't enough to deal damage directly to the demon.
I can attack it, but the problem is the strength of the attack. It doesn't seem to be enough to hurt the demon's body.
Even the formidable serrated broadsword couldn't break through the demon's skin in a single sitting. Not to mention exoskeletons. When the jagged teeth rubbed against the rough demon's skin, they made a hoarse sound, and sparks splashed up. I didn't use all my strength to keep the sheep-headed demon from speeding up suddenly, and even then, I couldn't cut through its skin once. It still makes people marvel at its physical strength.
Just as I was vigilant, the attacked sheep-headed demon howled suddenly, and its movements accelerated at once, and its tail swept across like a whip. It was faster than any previous movement, so fast that if you were to be convinced that "half a second pause" was absolute. It is certainly impossible to escape the extent of this blow.
At times like this, it was the battle instinct that saved my life.
I bowed my head in time, and when I felt the whip wind pass overhead, I took a big step to the side. Then there was a muffled thud, and the tail slammed into where I had been standing, and debris flew with it. It was all done in a state of swift sweeping, but in the next moment, a huge shadow completely enveloped me. The massive body of the sheep-headed demon was less than five meters away from me.
Its movement is so strange that it doesn't even reflect the previous "half a second" law.
As if trying to take me into its arms, it bent its back and waved its paws. The chain decision observes this sequence of actions, however, by the time it is fed back into its mind, it has completed all of them.
I only had time to hold my shield to my chest when I was struck by a strange force.
The impact seemed to break my arm, pushing the shield against my chest, and I subconsciously bent down and resisted it with all my strength, just as I had last endured the fire attack of dozens of mysterious experts, but the end was similar to that of the time. Half of my shoulders were a little numb, and I just felt like cotton.
It is simply impossible to gain a foothold under such power. As a rule of thumb, I had to jump backwards with this force, and even then I couldn't get rid of all the impact.
The sheep-headed demon slapped me with his other paw before I could balance it, and it was like trying to slap an annoying mosquito to death. But although this blow is similar to the previous blow in action, it does not have the mystery of the previous blow, at least the speed sweep super energy still played a role at this time, allowing me to gain "half a second" of time.
The sheep-headed demon's movements, in this half second, seemed to pause. I twisted my body, and with the help of the previous impact, I jumped out to the side of the fish, and when I landed, I rolled in a circle before I got up.
As I rolled, my claws swept over where I had been, and although it didn't touch the ground directly, the waves of air still made everything in that attack route splash. Stones, tables and chairs, candlesticks...... Everything that existed in the hall was swept away by the impact, and even flew into the air, hit the wall, and became fragments and splattered everywhere.
For the sheep-headed demon, such an attack seemed to be just a casual wave. Before I could fully climb up, I saw its huge eyelid-free, completely yellow eyes spin around and feel its gaze fall on me again.
Its eyeballs are not the same as those of humans. It is difficult to determine that you have "eyesight" within common sense, and you can't see emotions at all. The reason why it is said that it can be felt in horror and evil is precisely because once you look at it. It is certain that this is an anomaly, and it seems that there is no need for any reason for the emergence of a hostile consciousness.
If you deal with "humans", all the psychological knowledge related to human behavior can be helpful, but if you apply the theory of human beings to monsters, the end will definitely be very miserable.
Although I subconsciously think about how this monster is going to attack, how to attack. And how should I deal with it, but it is completely impossible to follow this imagination in concrete actions.
Thinking about the emotions of demons always makes people feel awkward.
Even so, I still have to look for my own chances of winning from these aspects. I raised my shield and held it to my chest, not immediately in a state of swift sweeping, but only occasionally measured. Occasionally trotting non-stop.
The sheep-headed demon's attacks have so far been carried out through its own body. In posture. Some "prepare moves" and "end moves" can be observed with chain decisions, and I took advantage of this by flashing attacks several times, however, in the course of the attack, it has already been proven. It can accelerate suddenly, to a point where I would probably be hard to resist if I weren't in a speed-skimming state.
Moreover, I am not sure whether these "preparatory actions" and "closing actions" will be just a façade.
I just observed. I wrestled with it for a while, and neither my attacks nor its attacks had any obvious effect. The sheep-headed demon seemed to have lost patience, and as soon as he grasped it in both hands, a huge axe appeared in his hand. The wide axe face, even if a dozen people stand on it, will not feel crowded. The blade of the axe flowed with a metallic luster, but the handle of the axe seemed to be made from the bodies of many people, and the flesh was still wriggling, dripping down from time to time, and the ground immediately made a sizzling sound of corrosion, and in a short time a half-man-sized pit appeared.
The demon gripped the handle of the axe with both hands, rubbing and twisting, causing the human body on the handle to let out a terrible scream. The screams were like sharp daggers, stabbing at my head. However, this is of little use, the flesh and human body on the axe handle are not real, but under my observation, they are presented in this appearance, but in reality, it is completely impossible to determine what the entire axe is made of. In chain judgment observations, the greataxe does not even exist.
However, this is a nightmare world in the first place, and there is no such thing as a matter that is entirely material. Seeing these disgusting, evil, and hateful images and voices as a blow to consciousness can better deal with these strange and strange powers.
The sheep-headed demon doesn't seem to be very good at crafting weapons, but when it comes to picking up weapons, the sense of danger does increase. During my time, I also tried to attack several parts of it. I can even follow the contours of its body, from the top of its feet all the way up to the back of its neck, and try to directly attack those that don't have an exoskeleton. However, while it is true that some of them are more vulnerable, overall, the strength of the sheep's head demon's body is still much greater than the strength I can exert with the serrated broadsword.
I'm not a mysterious expert with strong attack power in the first place, and my advantage comes from speed, but if speed can't be converted into impact, all that's left is a body strengthened by a fourth-level magic pattern.
I've defeated many strong enemies in the past, but all because I had a good weapon at hand, such as a knife-like critical hedge. The current sawtooth broadsword, although it is built with a fourth-level magic pattern, is strong enough and sharp enough, but the power that can be generated when swinging it still depends on the strength of the body.
As a fourth-level demonic emissary, my strength is greater than when I was a third-level demonic pattern, but against this sheep-headed demon, it seems to be a bit of a chicken rib.
Perhaps, the weapon should be allowed to move on its own.
As I thought so, I saw the sheep-headed demon take a step forward and swing the great axe with all his might. The original half-second advantage was suddenly only one-tenth of a second, and the sudden change in relative speed would probably catch people off guard if they dealt with other people, but as long as the speed sweep was still there, the relative speed was still there, even if it was relatively not much faster, it would not catch me off guard.
After a few encounters, I gradually grasped the characteristics of the sheep-headed demon, and although the giant axe was powerful, as long as it was not hit, there was no problem. On the other hand, if you are hit, even if you have a shield, you will be seriously injured by the impact at once.
I swept under the sweep of the great axe. The action of opening and closing made the sheep-headed demon's movements after the attack a little sluggish. The axe cut off the walls of the church on three sides, as the structure was destroyed, and huge stones continued to fall from above. I interspersed it with it, using the fourth-level magic pattern to absorb the aftermath of the data hedge.
Every change in the sheep-headed demon will have this aftermath. Its individual strength is astonishing and its mystery is also high, but it is also unable to restrain all the data hedging phenomena caused by itself, or in other words, this unconsciously created and diffused data hedging can also be regarded as part of its mystery. At the very least, for the mysterious experts who can't absorb the aftermath of this data hedge, each shock will appear heavier, more profound, and more difficult to dodge or counteract.
However, I am already familiar with using the advantages of the fourth-level magic pattern to deal with such a situation, and I have already readjusted my outfit and weapons once, and after the strength has been accumulated, I will adjust it again.
The beak mask was once again enhanced, and the appearance of the sheep-headed demon used nearly fifty mysterious experts as sacrifices, and at that time, the negative impact of its ability on the environment was considerable. In the face of the sheep-headed demon, whether it is the air or the temperature, all the environmental factors related to the survival of human beings are also constantly deteriorating. The filtration of toxins and the replenishment of oxygen are the strengthening directions of the beak mask. The question is no longer "whether there is oxygen in the nightmare" or "whether the toxin has an effect", etc., but that these factors are actually having an effect, and they are not changing according to one's consciousness.
On the contrary, the change of the beak mask can also be seen as a hint to the dreamer.
The situation is not so simple, in short, even if you are in a nightmare, ignoring your own poisoning and lack of oxygen, and subjectively seeing it as illusory, it will lead to your own death.
The seemingly shabby garment has also been renewed, and the hem of the short cloak is no longer torn, but when it is lengthened, the style also becomes special, fluttering like spreading wings. Actually, I can actually use it to linger and change direction for a certain amount of time while jumping into the air.
Then there is the Sawtooth Broadsword, which was completely unsuitable for facing a sturdy enemy like the Sheep-headed Demon, but after being strengthened again, the number and strength of the Sawtooth have increased significantly, and the total length of the blade has reached four meters, and the trigger in a specific position has been added.
I stared at the sheep-headed demon and pulled the trigger, and the sawtooth began to spin around the blade like a chainsaw, except that it wasn't powered by electricity, and the number of revolutions was even more amazing than a normal chainsaw. The entire blade turned dark red as if it had overheated, and the sparks exploded even denser in the harsh grinding sound.
I slung the hilt of my sword to my shoulder, and entered a state of swift skimming with my shield against it, the invisible high-speed passage wrapping around the sheep-headed demon. At the same time, it once again raised its great axe, an invisible but clearly felt pressure that seemed to explode the church from the inside like an over-inflated balloon. (To be continued......)
