Chapter 484: Conjecture and Experiment
There is no trick to dealing with demons, and these discordants do not have the same fatal weakness as werewolves or vampires. For demons, strength is all-round, they don't need so-called moves and magic to improve their abilities, and each demon knows how to use his body perfectly, because that strange appearance is the result of growing up according to his habits. Because of this, such abyssal visitors can gain the same notoriety as their neighbors, the devil, by their strength alone.
"Listen to me, to fight the demons, you must follow a rule. Cheese observed a demon beneath the city wall that had escaped the protection of the smoke and was recklessly approaching the city wall, and said, "These guys are all strong in vitality and have a stronger ability to recover. And they are extremely vindictive, and we can't get rid of them here, so for the sake of caution, every battle must be completed quickly and thoroughly. After you have seriously injured the demons, I can cast a spell to drive them back into the abyss. ”
"Rush back, can't we kill them?" Lothar faced such an enemy for the first time, and it was impossible not to be afraid, the twisted form and terrifying appearance characteristic of the creatures of the abyss had no beauty to speak of. But as a qualified warrior, the Count of Montenegro has always had the courage to challenge unknown opponents, and only the sharp blade in his hand is the criterion for judging whether the enemy is tricky.
The mage was silent for a moment, he didn't immediately veto the suggestion to kill the demon completely, as usual, "Perhaps. The arrival of Erdu brought Vale City into sync with a certain level of the Abyss, which is why it has become more and more like Hell. If that's the case, killing a demon here might also be equivalent to killing a demon in the abyss. But I can't guarantee that I'll need to experiment to determine if this hypothesis is true. ”
"Simply put, just grab one and try it, right?" Jack didn't understand Cheese's long list of instructions, he only knew that the current situation was that the mage needed a guinea pig. That's enough. Wolfwalker moved his neck, and his muscles and body hair grew together, and soon his height reached a height of nearly two meters, which was still the premise that the half-wolf form had to be hunched due to his body structure. At this time, Jack is no longer what he was when he first transformed into a werewolf, and there is pain in his eyes when he transformed, but more of it, it is wild that is difficult to hide.
Seeing this, Lothar kissed the spider dagger in her hand and stuck it in her boot. At the same time, he took off the tomahawk wrapped in strips of cloth behind his back with his right hand, "There is a passage not far from here that leads to the bottom of the city wall, and we can use it to sneak up on the lone guys." ”
"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. The Wolfwalker's deep voice was hoarse and harsh, reminiscent of a worn bellows. After Jack finished speaking, he jumped straight off the wall without waiting for the other two to react. This is enough to make the height of an ordinary person fall to death in the eyes of the wolfwalker is no different from flat ground, and he can even land without making a sound!
"It seems that the real monsters are on our side. The Earl slumped Hearn's hand to the ground, and Jack's performance made his preparations seem redundant.
But there was no sign of agreement in Cheese's eyes, his eyes flickered with a glimmer, and in the Wolfwalker's body, the mage saw a hidden danger. Jack's growth was too fast, and while plenty of battles helped the werewolves master their powers, the battles Jack experienced were too frequent and intense, forcing the young head wolf to exploit his potential too much. For example, when it comes to awakening the talent of wolf witches, Jack has not been able to communicate naturally with the wolf spirits he has called so far, and he lacks the strong nerves that Louise has precipitated over a long period of time. Lone wolves are the most dangerous, they have no kind to take care of, no race to restrain them, and it is easy to completely surrender themselves to the wild and go down the wrong path.
Of course, this trend is only the beginning of the day, and if Jack can establish his own clan as soon as possible and restore the Alexander clan, his situation will be much better. At least now the head wolf's strength allows him to subdue his opponent in an instant without being detected. Jack silently approached his target from behind, and two large clawed hands reached out like predatory vipers, twisting the poor demon's head behind his back! The demon waved four barbed limbs in vain, but it was nowhere near as large and powerful as the sneak attacker behind him. After breaking off all his limbs one by one, Jack carried his trophy with one hand, and the only remaining three limbs climbed the wall with ease.
When the demon's body, which was even more twisted than before, was thrown onto the stone bricks of the city wall, Lothar and Cheese had time to turn their heads to keep up with their companions. Jack's speed and strength shocked the two of them so much that even in the Wolfwalker race, mages were sure that there were few Alexander-like beings at this time.
Jack enjoyed the stares from his companions, as it meant that his purpose had been achieved. The son of the former hunter understood that the power of the human spirit was far stronger than the physical body, and he was also shrewd to detect that neither Cheese nor Lothar said that they would defeat Erdo, but in fact neither of them was sure. That's why he used all his strength to perform a crushing show, in order to boost the morale of his companions and keep the team from losing their fighting spirit before the battle.
He was undoubtedly a success, and the Wolfwalker's performance gave both the mage and the count a boost of confidence. Cheese nodded to Jack and cautiously walked over to the demon's side to check on its condition. Lothar gave the werewolf a thumbs up, showing her best smile in the past few days.
"How's the situation?" asked the Count of Montenegro, cautiously touching the demon's body with the tip of his axe, to the mage who was studying.
Cheese frowned, his hand was demonic flesh cut with a knife, this substance was a corrosive poison for normal creatures, even he had to wear protective gloves when touching. The mage lifted the piece of flesh and looked in the direction of the sun, and the glow of the magic could see that there were many tiny black debris floating out of the surrounding area of the flesh, which was not a good sign, and the appearance of the black debris proved that the demonic body that existed here was not entirely real.
But after cutting, the mage was able to determine that most of the demon's body was real. He had never seen this kind of phenomenon, and it was a very rare event that the Demon Lord would respond to the summons and come to the world at any cost, even the manuscripts and books left by the Lord of the Gray Tower did not have a similar record. This makes Cheese confused and excited at the same time, and the curiosity for the unknown is an essential characteristic of spellcasters.
"Lothar, try to cut this guy with a witch hunting knife. The mage suddenly thought of something and said to his companion.
The Count of Montenegro pursed his lips, he didn't like to swing his weapon like a butcher at a person who was unable to fight back. However, considering the identity of the demon and the current situation, Lothar still lifted Hearn and neatly cut off one of the demon's upper limbs. The demonic blood gushing out of the gap hissed like lava on the stone bricks, but interestingly, despite the fact that the blade of the battle axe came into direct contact with the hot fluid, there was no sign of melting on the witch hunting knife.
"Cold Iron. Cheese said after examining the wound on the severed limb.
"What?" said Lothar.
"Your weapon," the mage explained to the Count, pointing to the lion carved into the hilt of the axe, "it is made of cold iron, the same amulet I gave you. Only this metal can crack the flesh of a demon like clay, believe it or not. ”
Following Cheese's gaze, both Lothar and Jack saw that in addition to blood flowing from the demon's severed limb, a layer of gray cracks appeared, which looked like it was too arid land.
"It's not a real abyss here, but due to factional issues with demon-summoning spells, some of the demons here have entities. Normally, this entity will actively dissipate after the demon is injured, not enough for it to actually hurt. But the cold iron, or whatever else on your axe, blocked the part of the summoning spell that was dislodged, keeping the flesh from returning. So the damage really fell on the demon. Now, use it to cut off this guy's head, and don't let it get the word out. The mage calmly analyzed, and his words were as incomprehensible as ever.
"So Hearn's Hand can actually kill demons?"
"Correct. ”
"Then we can kill the big one?" Lothar gestured to Erdo in the distance as she cut off the demon's head, which had been twisted off.
"If you can hit it to the point. ”
