Chapter 485: Entering the City
That being said, it's easier said than done to hurt a castle-tall giant with a weapon used to kill. A dagger that can inflict fatal wounds is fashionable and ineffective against a thick-skinned boar, and the disparity between Hearn's Hand and Erdo is as absurd as killing with burrs on woodwork. So Lothar gave up on this and handed over the daunting task to the mage. Since Cheese dared to lead the team into the city, there must be a way to destroy the demon lord, although the feasibility of that method may be pitiful.
"So how do we get the lord sitting in the castle back to where he belongs?" asked the Count of Montenegro. They always know the exact purpose of the operation before it begins, so that he and Jack can adapt if the situation is urgent or Cheese can't answer for some reason.
The mage was still studying the corpse left behind by the decapitated demon, patiently cutting open the latter's hot, tough skin, looking through the structures that were different from all the creatures in the world. Hearing Lothar's words, Cheese replied as he pulled a palm-sized lump of flesh out of the corpse's chest, "Generally speaking, the easiest way to exorcise a demon is to use the path he took when he came. There are three that must exist in Demon Summoning, and my teacher refers to them as the Three Cornerstones. Summoning, controlling, and exorcizing, these three are the essence of all demonic summoning techniques. Demons summoned by any genre are subject to this in this world. ”
"A spellcaster who is proficient in this way only needs to crack the spell used by the opponent to summon the demon, and he can drive it away in advance, and even directly take over the control of the demon. Unfortunately, of the three cornerstones, I am only proficient in summoning. The Raven is good at controlling and driving away, but the guy won't come to help. As he spoke, the mage dug out a third lump of flesh, which was different from the previous two, and it was still beating slightly. But Cheese just tilted his head, and then stabbed into the lump.
"Why? We're all in the same goal now, aren't we? What reason does he have for not helping us get rid of this demon?" Aside from his identity as a fellow disciple, Cursed Crow is indeed standing with Cheese and the others now, and Lothar doesn't think it will do him any good if Valley City is turned into an abyss.
After making sure that no more lumps could be found, the mage finally let the corpse go, and he stood up and took off his gloves. "The price. Demons are very eager to come into this world, which is full of vulnerable creatures that can be bullied and swallowed at will. So whoever dares to interrupt their enjoyment, they will remember him firmly. Especially a lord like Erdu, he will tell his companions the name and smell of his enemies, and wait for the opportunity to kill the mortal who does not know what to do. It would be too unwise for a cursed crow to offend him. ”
"Hehe," Jack let out a low laugh, he had understood something from Cheese's words.
The mage shrugged his shoulders and looked at the wolfwalker, "That's right, he's back for us. You, me, Heather, Lord Atticus, and possibly His Majesty Sigget, demons don't care who humans are. In this respect, they are surprisingly fair. ”
The Count licked his lips, his loyalty to the royal family of Hearn made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the demon's target, no one could cross him to hurt the king who raised him, not even the demon. "Say, what are we going to do? Since you can't send it away in a gentle way, you're going to have to be a little fierce, right? ”
"First, we're going to get him out of Vale. Cheese looked at the enemy sitting on the castle and said, "This has been transformed to resemble his territory, and we have no chance of winning here." Next, we need to calm him down, judging by the situation here, the lord doesn't like the cold. ”
"What do you mean... Lead him to Dragon's Blood Creek?" Lothar quickly reacted to the mage's meaning, but his expression showed that the Count didn't think it was a good idea. Not to mention how the three of them forced the demon to leave his territory, and even if Erdo did stand up, how could they be guaranteed that they could outrun the giants?
"Dragon's Blood Creek, there's not enough water in that river, we'll have to take him further north. The mage said, a strange smile on his lips.
"Can do... Got it..."The wolfwalker's voice was a little muffled, he couldn't stay rational in this state for too long, and every second the beast in his veins was encouraging Jack to shred up the things that could still move. As a result, his eyes are turning from green to red.
"No problem, you just send me to that guy. I've got my own way to do the rest. Cheese nodded, "Without further ado, these demons have at least three hearts, one of which is dedicated to warming the blood, be careful when fighting." ”
Only then did Lothar realize that the meat balls that had been picked out by the mage were actually the hearts of demons, "You can be sure of all the demons here after you only look at one?"
"Although there are different kinds of organisms living in the same environment, some of them have the same characteristics to adapt to the environment. While Cheese was still explaining, the werewolf couldn't bear it anymore and jumped off the wall again. Seeing this, the remaining two could only stop the topic of how many hearts the demon had, threw down the prepared rope, and slid down the city wall after him.
When their feet actually landed on the ground of Valley City at this time, they really felt the harshness of the environment here. There is still a breeze blowing from time to time on the towering walls, but there is only dry, hot air left under the walls, and just one breath gives the illusion that your lungs are going to burn. The Count wore a water-soaked cloth tied around his face, and the cheese simply pulled up the hood of his gray robe.
"Jack, we're coming from the west. "Instructed to take on all four legs, the wolfwalkers took on the position of vanguard. After all, this place was too far away from the city center, and only a few low-level demons would accidentally wander over, and it was difficult to pose any threat to the three of them.
However, as we get closer to the interior of the city, the situation becomes worse and worse, and the demons with strong limbs rely on the smoke and the ruins of buildings to make it difficult to detect, and the keen sense of smell becomes useless here. The trio had to slow down their advance and carefully search for every shadow that might be hiding from the enemy, to make sure they didn't have a "tail" behind them. It's true that the lower demons don't have too much intelligence, but there are not a few people who have lost their lives because of their cunning, and now clearing the stalker early can ensure that you won't have an accident when you encounter a troublesome opponent.
The need for this effect soon became apparent. It was a dog-like demon with four legs with bone spurs on its backs, three mouths with sharp teeth, and short, thin spikes without eyes. It was about the size of a wolfwalker, but its muscles were still larger than Jack's, and the demon seemed to use it as its hunting ground, attacking all creatures that entered. Cheese and the others saw it swoop down a demon twice their size and disembowel it alive with its forelimbs.
And the alert monster apparently spotted these three different intruders. It left its freshly arrived prey and quickly disappeared behind the cover of the building, peering out into the shadows for an opportunity.
