Chapter 5: Demon Hunting
But he still couldn't control his gaze from focusing on the demon that suddenly appeared, and his brain was racing at the moment, trying to come up with a feasible hunt plan.
This is completely subconscious, just like a young tiger seeing an adult wild boar, even if there is a huge difference in strength, it will still subconsciously think about how to hunt the other party.
Because tigers eat wild boars, it is justified.
"It hadn't moved since it was summoned by the witch, and even the nearest executioner had been let go. ”
This shows that this demon seems to be bound by some invisible force, and its body is actually floating, which proves this even more - after all, if even a low-level dwarf demon can float, it is really a bit unreasonable. ”
"It should be feasible to attack now, but the opponent's defense looks very high, and more importantly, I didn't wear a weapon when I came....."
As soon as he thought of this, he heard a crisp sound like glass being shattered, and the demon's body suspended in the air suddenly loosened, and its heavy body suddenly fell on the wooden platform where the fire was cast, and suddenly stepped out of two large pits.
"Yes, the opportunity is fleeting. ”
The solid wooden platform could not restrain it at all, and it only used a little force, and its thick legs tore the wooden platform apart.
Leon's expression froze, this is not a power that human beings can reach at all!
"Is this still the lowest dwarf demon?
He couldn't even complain that this demon, who didn't seem to be short or inferior, would be marked with such a name by the Demon Atlas.
"However, the demon that is regarded as 'prey' is so powerful, and the demon hunter must also possess extremely strong power...... Hunt it down, and what kind of power can my talent plunder for me?"
Thinking of this, his heart seemed to have a fire ignited, and there was no calmness and steadiness in his daily life, and the beast that he had been imprisoned in his heart for more than 20 years, named "yearning for adventure and excitement", was released by him himself at this moment!
He looked to the top of the square, where the gallows still hung the corpse of a robber......
After breaking free, the dwarf demon did not immediately pursue the fleeing crowd, but instead set his eyes on Baron Tebely, Nelson, and some of the guards who were still in the square.
Perhaps it was because of its stupidity, so it gave up its better prey, and chose as its prey a person with obvious defensive abilities, such as Baron Tebely.
Its eyes are small, squeezed into the fat of the folds of its face, like a black bean full of evil and greed, and it does not have the slightest sense of innocence, only makes people feel ugly and hideous.
As it strode towards them, Baron Tebelli's face showed no panic, and he calmly drew his sword and said to Leon, "Get out of here." ”
Then he shouted, "Guards, come to me!"
"Nelson, immediately inform Father Sean of everything that is happening here. ”
"Elwin, get ready to fight!"
The knight in the chain mail replied loudly, "Yes, Lord Tbelley. ”
Erwin was the chief knight of Baron Tebery, and the only knight who always accompanied him, and was very skilled in martial arts, and it is said that he once reached the final of a jousting tournament in the Kingdom of Sicily, and even the regent at the time, Empress William I, wanted to recruit him, and no one knew why he finally chose to join a baron.
As a lord, the main combat force under his command is actually not very reserved, but the knights and lords who are divided into various territories.
Only these knights had the time and energy to hone their martial arts from an early age, and they wore armor and weapons, and the elite level was far from that of the town guards, and the role of infantry in this era of warfare had been greatly weakened compared to the Roman Empire, and instead cavalry became a real decisive force.
The guards armed with swords, shields, and spears quickly assembled, but everyone was apprehensive in the face of this legendary monster.
"Whoever fights against the devil will ascend to heaven after death. ”
"Whoever fears the enemy and does not go forward will be punished according to military law, and after death he will be rejected by God and thrown into the abyss. ”
Baron Tebelli raised his arms and shouted, his sword pointed straight at the demon.
Inspired by him, the guards finally mustered a little courage and formed a formation to approach the dwarf demons.
Knight Elwin drew his longbow from behind his back and struck the dwarf in the eye with a single arrow, causing the dwarf to suffer pain, and a large stream of dark green blood flowed from his eye socket, and he roared madly and rushed towards him.
He repeated his old trick, but as the next arrow was fired, the dwarf demon actually closed his eyes, and the fat on his eyelids suddenly drooped, and the arrow was already shot in a hurry and inaccurate, and even blood did not flow out of the fat on the layer of fat.
In just a few breaths, the dwarf demon had already rushed close to the military formation, and forcibly knocked the two soldiers into vomiting blood and flew up, chiseling through the military formation, and smashing towards Erwin is punch, the chief knight Erwin blocked its fist with his iris shield, and the whole person was suddenly smashed out like a cannonball.
"Don't run into it. ”
After only a brief encounter, Baron T'Belli became acutely aware that this dwarf demon was like a war elephant tamed by the Moors on the battlefields of North Africa.
Maybe sluggishness, clumsiness, and brainlessness are its Achilles' heels, but it came too suddenly, most of the guards have not undergone professional training, and they don't even carry long weapons, such a monster is almost invincible on such a battlefield.
He shouted, "Bring the fire pot and the crossbow arrows!"
"It has a lot of strength, but it's also bulky, and as long as it doesn't run in a straight line, it can't catch up with us!"
Erwin struggled to his feet, only to feel a sharp pain all over his body, and a deep sense of frustration rose in his heart, the martial arts he was proud of were useless against such a monster.
Under the command of Baron Tebely, the guards no longer formed a formation to confront the dwarf demons, but dispersed, fighting guerrilla attacks around the dwarf demons in a wolf hunting style.
"Damn, this monster's skin is too thick!"
It is true that the weapon can pierce through the skin of the dwarf, but the wound after it is cut open does not bleed at all, revealing only the disgusting fat of the white flower, which does not affect its movement in the slightest.
Baron Tatebelli exclaimed loudly: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is consumed, the victory will be ours sooner or later!"
Gradually, the dwarf demon had more and more scars on its body, and its movements gradually slowed down, only to hear it roar frantically after failing to pounce on one of the guards: "Talos will eat you worms!"
It's devil's language!
Li Ang was a little surprised, this should not be the language he mastered, but he could hear it clearly at this time, could it be that the demon hunter still has the ability to translate?
"What's that?"
"Get out of the way!"
Baron Tebelli yelled.
I saw a viscous green liquid gushing out of the wound on the dwarf demon's body at the same time, and then it took a deep breath, and its body suddenly shrunk.
Bound by the skin, countless green slime suddenly crackled out like bullets and landed on the soldiers, and even the helmet chain mail quickly emitted white smoke.
Screams rang out one after another.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the dwarf demon rushed out frantically, picked up one of the guards, and ripped off his head in one bite amid his screams.
As it chewed, it gripped the soldier's body tightly with both hands, squeezing the man's body flat, and the blood mixed with colorful organs squeezed out of the body cavity with a pop and fell into its bloody mouth.
Its shriveled skin was refilled, and the wounds on the surface of the body began to heal at a visible rate.
"Oh my God, Bill was eaten by him. ”
"Damn, it's recovering!"
"We can't kill him!"
The guards were demoralized by this cruel scene and retreated, and at that moment, a figure leaped down from a high place like a big bird.
It turned out that at some point, Leon had picked up a long sword and climbed up from the gallows at the highest point of the square.
At this moment, Leon held the knight's sword and descended from the sky, piercing the blade through the head of the dwarf demon with incomparable precision, up to the hilt.
At the cost of Leon's sword-wielding hands almost being torn off by the force of the fall, and his whole body was hanging on the sword, he couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the demonic horns around him that were almost piercing him......
I swear I've never done anything so risky in my life!
The huge "short" inferior demon condensed, and then fell to the ground with a bang, its defense is not high, but the skin fat layer is thick, which gives people the illusion of invulnerability, let you cut me thirty centimeters and still haven't broken the fat layer, but it's not invulnerable.
Li Ang should have been scared at this time, but he found that he didn't have any fear in his heart, but instead spontaneously felt a hearty joy!
The Demon Hunter resurfaced, and a new page appeared.
You've successfully slain the Dwarf Devil, and you'll draw one of their talents as the cornerstone of your own power.
What is the talent of the dwarf?
Isn't it just that what you can eat and whatever you eat will grow meat?
The heat in Li Ang's heart is a little cold, but it is just the lowest dwarf demon, it is better not to have too many expectations.
But soon, a huge force passed from the corpse under his feet, it was an incomparably chaotic and evil energy, and as soon as it entered his body, it was like a boiling flame, burning all the way and rushing into his internal organs.
A line of blood emerged from the Demon Hunter's Hand Tie:
Plunder Talent: Dwarf Demon Strength! (E-Rank)
You gain strength beyond the average human, but this is only a small part of a Dwarf's true strength talent, and you will need to hunt down more Dwarves to upgrade your talent until it is promoted, up to the strength of the Dwarf Overseer (C-rank).
Once you've unlocked the crafting screen and completed the Hunt quest, you'll unlock the Crafting Recipe, which can be obtained by sacrificing the items needed for the Recipe.
You've unlocked an exclusive artifact quest: Kill an Abyss Lord with the Ember Crown and sacrifice his soul to earn the Great Legendary Sword: "Karma Flame." ”
Quasi-artifact: Karmic Flame
The souls of all the demons you slay will be taken by it, forever calcined by the flames of karma, and their pain will be the source of the weapon's power.
The weapon has no fixed shape, is bound to the soul, is indelible, and is never lost.
"Quasi-artifact?"
A flash of heat flashed in Leon's eyes, but it quickly subsided.
He could conclude that this thing was a picture cake even if he thought about it on his toes, though it was tempting now.
