The tenth floor of the temple.

The dark, towering halls echoed with the roar of battle. Bloody corpses fell to the ground covered in foul-smelling black blood in a strange posture, human, but more of them were strange-shaped black blood demons.

Near the edge of a passage, the soldiers of Randall's Expeditionary Force fought a bloody battle with the demons, covering the retreat of several sword-wielding maidens from the passage to the outer wall of the temple. Their expressions were indifferent and silent, the pure gold halberd in their hands was clinging to a layer of black blood, and they could no longer see their original appearance, and the silver light elixir that specialized in restraining black blood and undead creatures had long been consumed by the flesh and blood of the demons, and the original effect of defeating the enemy was no longer restored.

The opponents of the expeditionary force were mainly half-human, half-dog demons, their skin was smooth and hairless, blue-gray, revealing an eerie bleakness, their body appeared thin and slender, but their muscles were full and exaggerated, and their bodies resembled humanoids, and they ran on all fours like wolves. The shape of their head is close to that of a fox, and they have a long mouth with two rows of sharp teeth inside, while the protruding canines are hollow and curved fangs. Despite their appearance as wolf-like creatures, they are extremely agile, with sharp claws on their palms and feet, which are not much different from those of humans, and they can easily climb rock walls and perform condescending jumping attacks.

Klaus, a veteran knight, believed that the canine was an Assyrian tainted with black blood. Rogers couldn't tell if they were Assyrians or beasts, and he didn't care about those questions, he just remembered that his beloved woman had died at the hands of the canine demon. Although she was a valiant sword-wielding maid, the young fierce warrior could not accept the fact that she had died to protect herself.

Rogers' eyes were as blood-red as those of the canine demon, as if a flame was burning. He grabbed a heavy broad-bladed battle axe with one hand, like a wounded and furious male bear, his combat boots clattered on the stone floor, a fierce shoulder bump made a dog demon fly more than ten meters away, the axe blade flipped and drew a terrible semicircle, and the two dog demons who pounced in the air were instantly split into four pieces by him. Before the sticky black blood and foul-smelling entrails had fallen, an enraged Rogers rushed to one of his comrades and killed the three canine demons besieging him instantly. The wound on his left arm burst again due to the force, and the hot blood stained the bandage red, and the blood-red mist swirled around Rogers, making him look more demonic than the Black-Blood Dog Demon.

Berserk, the more painful it is, the more powerful the attack.

Rogers' strength and speed were far beyond normal, and he entered a berserk state of his own accord without taking a secret potion of rage.

A scaly-clad hand nudged his shoulder, and the furious Rogers actually spun in half a circle in place, and was grabbed by the wrist of the veteran knight Krausto.

"The dog demon is gone, you should take a breath and take care of the wound. The young veteran knight's eyes were as steady as a rock, and he did not hide his concern for his friend.

"It's not over yet, there's a big guy coming. Rogers' red eyes stared into the darkness across the hall.

The remaining canines and demons will all cling to the corners, quickly climbing the stone wall, and silently hiding in the darkness, like a jackal hiding from the saber-toothed beast.

Heavy footsteps came from the other end, like a drumstick striking his heart, and the air was oppressive and made Klaus feel breathless.

The knight has a very high mental resistance, and reason can overcome emotions. The mere sound of footsteps that shook Klaus's mind showed that the enemy had the ability to touch the heart.

It must be a golden-tier black blood demon, and its huge size means overwhelming strength and super toughness!

Four dark red eyes appeared in the dimly lit hall, and then the blurred lines outlined a large hazy black shadow. It is about 4.8 meters tall and its hideous appearance is unmistakable when you get closer. This is a large and strong demon, combining the appearance characteristics of a giant rhinoceros, a bear and a dog, thick limbs like pillars, the whole body seems to be made of knotted muscles, a strong sense of déjà vu with a direct impact to the heart, a huge head with four blood-red eyes, the eyes are full of greed, cruelty, cunning, fangs exposed large mouth dragging yellow-brown slime is constantly dripping down.

"Hehe, this big dog is here to eat meat, no wonder all those canine demons were scared away by it. I bet it can't digest the armor on me. Brandon, who was handsome, came over and teased, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword to show that he was not in the same relaxed mood as he appeared.

Klaus said calmly: "You see its skin, it is as smooth and hairless as a canine demon, just like our human skin. I guess it's also an Assyrian demon. ”

"I can't see it, but this guy is tough to deal with...... It's more flexible than you think. The red wolf, whose eyes were covered with gauze, said in a low voice, and as he spoke, he quietly shifted his position in the shadows.

Brandon didn't go to see the red wolf, the guy's eyes were blind, his presence became extremely low, and it was difficult to be spotted under the cover of darkness. However, the knight trusted the Red Wolf's judgment and decided that melee combat with the large demon was not a wise choice, so he let go of the hilt of his sword, took two Adamantite Throwing Spears coated with silver light potions from the hands of the Blood Warrior, and said in a fierce tone, "Let's kill it and give it a name." I've decided to call it the 'Four-Eyed Demon Dog'. ”

“...... Brandon, the level at which you come up with your name sucks. ”

"Rotten demons have to have a rotten name!"

The demon on the opposite side opened its bloody mouth very cooperatively, and let out an earth-shattering roar at the Randall Expeditionary Force, and the sound was like thunder, causing dust and rubble to fall from the top of the hall. Its greedy gaze lingered on both the ferocious warrior and the knight to varying degrees, ignoring all types of alchemy creatures. It stopped howling and crawled slowly towards the corpse of a canine demon, swallowing it into its mouth and chewing slowly.

The canine demon's stomach was bitten and the remains of the Randall bear dog inside fell to the ground, the giant demon stuck out his tongue and licked it into his mouth, and his four eyes peeked at the expeditionary force opposite, full of intimidation and vigilance, as well as a trace of imperceptible bloodthirsty desire.

“...... Wants to eat me. ”

Nelson paced from behind with two Adamantite decapitation swords, his facial features still the same as before, but his eyes that were as sharp as steel cones had become warm and bright, and his eyes seemed to be carved with yellow glaze without the slightest blemish.

Brandon turned to the side and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Excellency, you're awake!"

Nelson nodded and said, "My realm has stabilized, and Lady Fregg needs a little time to recuperate. ”

Green-haired, green-eyed, and with two horns in her head, Furgre was protected by several Blood Warriors, leaning against the corner to regain her energy with her thoughts. She transforms into her dragonman form four times and now takes longer to regain her energy.

Klaus shifted his gaze from the dragon maid and asked Nelson, "My lord, I suggest confronting this demon first, it seems to have good intelligence, and when Miss Furgree wakes up or Miss Meiwen returns, it may take the initiative to retreat." ”

"It's also a hassle to let it run. Nelson shook his head, patted Rogers on the shoulder again, and said, "You gain the ability to go berserk on your own, but don't let the rage control your mind, otherwise you will never be able to ignite the fire of your heart and become a warrior of the Silver Rank." ”

The blood in his eyes quickly faded, Rogers lowered his head, and said, "Yes, teacher, I know." ”

"You know a!" Nelson scolded, raising his Adamantite Decapitation Sword and pointing at the opposite demon, "This black-blooded monster has a strong physique, if you hit it ten times, you may not be able to kill it, and if it hits you, you will die." Its size advantage works just as well for me, but its heart is full of boiling desires, and when its desires outweigh reason, I have no difficulty in killing it. ”

The decapitation sword in Nelson's hand hummed and trembled, and the dried black blood peeled off the sword's body, revealing a sharp purple-gold color.

"Ten people, bring the dragon lizard war beast and kill it!"

The expressions of the two knights and the two fierce warriors froze for a moment, and Nelson sneered as he smeared the decapitation sword with a silver potion, "Do you think I'm going to fight it alone, am I that stupid?"

Seeing the dragon lizard beast and ten warriors rushing over, the giant demon actually turned around and ran, it had a speed that was not commensurate with its size, and it quickly made the alchemy dragon lizard and the alchemy militia distance away, and when the time came, it would first kill the dragon lizard that looked more powerful, and then break the rest of the human warriors one by one.

Suddenly, the demon sensed that the most delicious human had surpassed the dragon lizard beast, and leapt into the air with the Adamantite Decapitation Sword in hand, ready to slash his own back. The demon's four eyes flashed with a sly light, and taking advantage of the enemy's nowhere to borrow his strength in mid-air, he turned sharply and raised his front paws to deliver a ferocious sweep.

The force of force made the air wail, and the demon only hit the air.

It was stunned to realize that the scene was just its own delusion, and that the delicious and powerful human warrior had not leapt through the air. He charged with his sword, just in the middle of the demon's attack, and the silver-white sword light slashed at the demon's head like two bolts of lightning.

The demon only had time to protect the vital point of the head with its forelimbs, like the light of an electric sword splitting its forelimbs into two deep wounds that were visible to the bone, and the silver light potion containing holy power prevented the wounds from healing. The demon let out a terrible scream, its skin blood-red with rage, its muscles swelling to make it a full circle larger, and a backhand blow sent the human warrior flying.

Nelson blocked the demon's attack with his sword in advance, his body slamming into the wall of the hall like a cannonball, he adjusted his position in mid-air, and his feet stepped on the wall, as if the soles of his feet had taken root and were firmly glued to the wall.

At least, in the eyes of the giant demon, the human warrior is fixed to the wall and makes a gesture of stepping on the wall and preparing to fight back.

It didn't understand why its opponent was sticking to the vertical wall as if it were crouching on the ground, its rage doubling its strength and burning its little sanity, and its hind limbs turned around and rushed towards the human warrior who had hurt it.

However, the human warrior used his legs to recoil with lightning speed, so fast that the demon could not react, only to see two intertwined silver-white sword lights continue to magnify, deep into its eyes and even its soul.

This time it was not a delusion, because the delusion had already been created in advance.

Nelson was not a fly, and of course he couldn't have squatted on the wall for a long time, and the moment he stepped on the wall with his foot, he shot at the demon with his legs, and the demon rushed at him without concealment, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to give him a head to chop.

According to the theory of spiritual cultivation in the earth world, Jin Toad has such a reverie about the realm of the touch of the soul - the official stops and the gods want to do it. (Note 1)

This refers to the spirit transcending the limitations of the physical senses and using the spirit to drive the body. But in this world of supernatural powers, spiritual powers have an effect on the mind. Nelson's body moved or not, his will to fight was already projected on the target's mind, giving the opponent the illusion that he had pounced or not moved.

There are various manifestations of Soul Touch, the church has a cultivation method of Mind Touch, while Nelson cultivates the secret method of the Mind that was born from the Golden Toad Pile and the Spirit Monkey Pile. He was pure-minded, diligent in studying and practicing, and with Victor providing him with new secret methods and cultivation resources, he finally reached the coveted spiritual realm after accumulation.

Nelson's Touch of the Heart is different from Tournans and Caligula.

Although the touch of the heart is ever-changing, as far as combat is concerned, it can be interpreted by the three elements of "point", "line" and "surface".

The three elements of Psychic Touch are coexisting and cannot be isolated, but each person's focus will be different.

The tentacles of Turnans can destroy the enemy's mental will and make it weak, and the enemy's eyes see Turnans as dust and giants, reflecting his own insignificance, and he can only wait for death if his heart is broken.

Caligula's Psychic Touch didn't show any peculiarity, but he hit his opponent's weak spot right in the air, killing him in the next few seconds. His and Sylvia's three-second preknowledge was somewhat imaginary, but Sylvia was a panoramic foresight, and Caligula only worked for a few of the targets that his mind had locked onto. He once killed 7 gnolls in different positions with a single sword, and this is the reason.

If Tournans's Touch of the Heart is a "face" with spatial characteristics, and Caligula is a "line" of time, then Nelson's Touch of the Heart is a "point" that focuses on the spirit.

His spiritual power condensed as one, piercing the demon's mind and instantly making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. But the demon's body was still strong, its muscles were like armor, and its bones were harder than iron.

Nelson can't kill it with a few swords, as long as it successfully counterattacks once, I'm afraid it will be Nelson who dies.

However, as a fierce warrior of the Golden Rank, Nelson not only has "points", but also masters the elements of "surfaces" and "lines".

The sword light reflected the demon's mind with the will to die, and it only felt that it had died under the sword of the human warrior, and its anger was replaced by a gray and stiff death, and its red and swollen body was like a punctured ball, and it immediately deflated.

The first sword light slashed the demon's face, and the silver-white and cold blade cut through the flesh, but it failed to cut off the skull, but the powerful force made the demon's head shift, revealing a thick neck.

The second sword light followed, and it slashed at the demon's neck, and the blade cut into the knotted tense muscles, cutting half of the neck and then getting stuck in the demon's neck bone.

Seeing that the mortally wounded demon was about to shake off the shadow of death and regain his senses, Nelson's mouth and nose spat out a long stream of air, the old power was not gone, and the new power was born, and the sword light like a match came out from the demon's neck.

A new combat skill evolved from Randall's combat breathing method and vibration secret technique - Qi Lifting Slash.

At this time, the alchemy dragon lizard rushed to the demon's side, and it was a crazy bite at the headless body, and it was actually pressed to the ground by the instinctive reaction of the demon's corpse.

The battle broke out in an instant, ended in an instant, and the bear of the Northland stood with his sword in hand, and the giant demon corpse hall.

The status of the fierce warriors is generally not high, which is related to their actual combat effectiveness. Nelson had a duel with Lady Judy's brother in the woods in the early days, and was slashed by the other party, relying on the defense of Ant-Man's silver armor to win, and he lit the fire of his heart, and was ordered by Victor to intercept and kill Count Kinley, if it were not for the alchemy militia sacrificing his life, he would have been stabbed to death by the knight of Horton, who had just broken through to the silver rank. Now, he can slay a gold-level black blood demon.

Only by mastering the touch of the heart can the ferocious warrior become very powerful, and can he be regarded as a transcendent in the true sense.

Before Brandon and the others could recover from the shocking scene of Nelson's four swords beheading the gold-level demon, the dragon maid Mei Wen returned to the hall from outside the temple.

She looked at the huge demon corpse with an indifferent expression, and shouted to Nelson, "Commander, I have already obtained what the master asked Lady Charlotte to bring. ”

Nelson used this powerful black blood demon to test the sword as a gift for his promotion, but he was not too excited, walked back with the decapitation sword in his hand, came to Mei Wen and asked, "Ms. Mei Wen, have you seen your master?"

Mei Wen shook her head, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "I didn't see it, but my king and I have a conversation." The king asked me to tell you that the black blood demons in the temple should no longer harass us, and that they will go to trouble the elven troops, and when the elven forces invade the lair of the black blood master, we will try to throw what we have obtained to the elves. ”

Nelson took off his helmet, scratched the back of his head, and asked in confusion, "I don't understand, we killed so many demons in the temple, why did the black blood demon let us go and turn around to deal with the elven troops?"

The elven army has more meat than we do...... Brandon only muttered to himself, he wisely did not speak his mind. He had already seen that the Black Blood Demon ignored the Bloodblood, Dragonlizard, Elite Guards, Fierce Mastiffs, and Dragon Maids in the ranks, and they were only interested in Fierce Warriors, Knights, Sword-wielding Maids, and Bear Dogs.

Klaus said beside him, "Bobo the Halfling disappeared in the previous battle, I think he joined up with the elven forces below and leaked all our information to them. ”

Mei Wen nodded and said, "My king said that Bobo's incognito leaving has nothing to do with the overall situation...... He also said that the elves and dwarves were more cunning than he thought, and that although they were not on the same level as us, they deliberately walked slower than us, and the Blackblood Lord tried to destroy us before dealing with them. However, the elven forces are close to the hideout of the Black Blood Master, and since we have won this battle, he should concentrate his efforts on guarding against the surprise attacks of the elves and dwarves. ”

Nelson rubbed the stubble on his jaw and said suddenly, "I see, I thought these black blood demons were here to grab food." ”

On the ground in the center of the hall, there were large pieces of black blood and broken corpses, distributed in a radial shape, it was originally a super giant black blood demon, and before it could exert any skills, it was killed by Mei Wen with a single blow of the Saron Demon Iron Short Spear "Phantom". The raging Void Wind Elemental erupted from its body with terrifying destructive power, and its massive body was sliced to pieces by the Wind Elemental.

After the death of this super-giant demon, the flesh it left behind attracted countless black-blooded demons. In comparison, the gold-level demon that Nelson slayed was nothing at all.

Mei Wen carries Victor's special weapons "Soul Splitting" and "Shadow" with her, she can use "Soul Splitting", but she cannot control "Shadow". In fact, the leader-level black blood demon that Nelson and the others encountered was killed by Victor through Mei Wen's hand, but Mei Wen didn't bother to explain it to Nelson.

She said lightly: "Find a clean place to rest first." The elven troops are dealing with the Black Blood Master, and we must also be present...... The king, when necessary, will personally strike and kill the Black Blood Master. ”
