Chapter 26: Delare's Revenge
Palanti's sword unsheathed with lightning speed, and the silver brilliance pierced through the darkness, smashing everything in its path with an indomitable momentum. ใStarterใ
A thick branch three meters above the ground was cut off, and a small monster with wings let out a strange scream of "Karma-" and fell from the tree. As Palanti pounced, El also turned and pulled out the Dragon's Tooth Bow and shot an arrow, pinning the falling monster to the trunk of the tree.
"The gods are above! what is this!" Palanti couldn't help but change his face and let out a low cry when he fell down to see the monster's appearance.
The monster pinned to the tree was similar in appearance to a human baby, but several times larger. The tiny horns on the head and the batwings on the back are obvious signs of the demon of hell. It struggled as it was pinned to the tree, baring its sharp teeth at Palanti and screaming in a frightening manner.
"This is a demon baby, a young form of a demon from hell. El walked over and whispered. As the opposing race of order and chaos, the history of war between humans and demons can be traced back to antiquity three thousand years ago, so legends and stories about demons are not uncommon in this world, at least more detailed and reliable than the rumors of the landwalkers.
Demon Babies are young demons that evolved from painful worms in the Hell, and although they may seem young, their true strength is comparable to that of ordinary adult men, and they have evolved their rudimentary cruel intelligence to serve as cannon fodder scouts in the demon army.
El had heard of the legend of the Demon Baby, a little demon that was not uncommon in the terrestrial world, and if he encountered a lone Demon Baby, there was a good chance that he would be a slave of a demon warlock, or rather their pet.
When he said the baby's name, the baby pinned to the tree suddenly stopped struggling and turned his resentful gaze to El. Elle was unmoved, but he vaguely felt that the demon baby's gaze seemed to flicker, which made him involuntarily feel like he was being watched.
"Master Delare?" El asked tentatively, looking into the Demon Baby's eyes.
"General El......" The demon baby froze for a moment, the hideous expression on his face suddenly calmed down, and his eyes became clear. It looked at El and said in a hoarse voice, "I know your name...... Viscount Chico thinks you're a scheming reckless man...... He was deceived by you......"
You say this as if you were pure and innocent. El grinned, his gaze sharpened: "Master Delaer, we are just each other. Don't you want to enjoy the moonlight with us when you don't go to rest at this time?"
"One to the other...... Well said...... "The Demon Infant had a strange smile on his face and let out a strange smile: "Despicable and shameless General El...... You gave me these two great gifts tonight...... Do you want to just walk away so easily?"
Before the Demon Infant could finish speaking, El's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Palanti and flew back behind the tree, only to see the Demon Baby's body suddenly swell, and then exploded into splinters in the sky, splattering flesh and blood into the woods, and everywhere he went, there was a corrosive sound of Zrazra.
"Damn, that guy has a back hand!" El, scolding as he dodged the demon's flesh in disarray. It's not just him, but the camp that has just been set up is now full of noise. He looked around and saw six or seven huge demons suddenly appear in the camp, indiscriminately killing all the living people around him.
"What's going on?where did they come from??, and what about our guards?" asked El, who hurried back to the camp and grabbed Arlet, who had organized a counterattack.
When the Valley Pass broke through, El still laughed in his heart at the fact that the Southern soldiers' defenses were as loose as an old woman's crotch, and when he turned his head, De Lale responded with a slap in the face. Under the sudden attack of the demons, the Istalon army, which had just set up camp and rested, behaved equally poorly, with double-digit casualties in less than a breath. This made El feel sad and dull.
"I don't know, General!" Allett looked at El with a blank expression, and cried out, "That's our brother!
"This is a magic spell, a demonic magic spell!" exclaimed Adjutant Lawson, "I told you before, that young master of the Kemal family performed an evil spell under the city of the river valley, but it didn't have any obvious effect at the time, so you didn't pay attention to it. โ
"How do I know what that bastard is doing like a jerking off?" Arlett retorted loudly, blushing with rage.
"That's enough! get rid of these demons first!" El stopped the two from arguing, and drew his dragontooth bow to aim at the nearest demon.
The size of the demon transformed from a soldier changed dramatically, his height skyrocketed to more than two meters, his body was covered with pitch-black scales, his limbs had turned into thick claws, and a single horn had risen from his head. In appearance, this appears to be the basic combat unit of the Hell Demon Army, the Horned Demon, which is extremely powerful and invulnerable, and can evolve different abilities according to the needs of the battlefield, which is quite similar to the warriors of the Earthwalker.
However, these demons are not as common on the ground as the Demon Infants, they belong to the regular formation of the devil's army, and once they appear, it means that there will be an endless war. El is only guessing about this, and he can't be sure, so he can only test the depth first.
The warriors of Istalon had already reacted and used the chemistry they had cultivated with each other to trap the demons in the middle, but their weapons were hardly effective against the powerful demons. A soldier brandished his two-handed sword and slashed at the demon's back with all his might, and the greatsword sparked a spark on the scale armor of the demon's skin, leaving only a shallow mark ten centimeters long. The demon let out a sinister laugh, grabbed the soldier's weapon with his backhand, and dragged him with his sword. The soldier tried to throw away his weapon and retreat, but he was too close to the demon to run away before a claw tore open his abdomen, almost tore by the waist, and fell to the ground screaming.
The demon laughed wildly and raised his big foot, trying to stomp the soldier's head open, but at that moment, a sharp arrow flew in mid-air and shot directly into his mouth. The arrow poked out through the back of his neck through his mouth, and the demon's wild laughter came to an abrupt end.
This kind of penetrating damage is already a fatal blow for ordinary people, but it is not a big deal for a demon with tenacious vitality. He just tilted back involuntarily, then raised his head again, closed his mouth and bit the shaft of the arrow to pieces.
Without a single blow, El's face became more and more gloomy, he had only heard legends about the tenacious vitality of demons, but he did not expect that the demons in reality were even more tricky. Without saying a word, he pulled the dragon's tooth bow again, and at the same time took two long arrows, aiming at the demon's head and heart, and the blue runes in his palms flashed away.
The demon had noticed the sneak attacker in the darkness, and the arrow didn't hurt him much, but it wouldn't be comfortable to think about it stuck in his throat. Seeing the skinny human draw his bow and arrow again, the demon flew into a rage, leaned down and slammed his head through the warriors' encirclement, and pounced on El.
"Good time!" El sneered, his fingers loosened slightly, and two long arrows flew out.
Although the demon relied on brute force to go on a rampage, he also had basic combat intelligence, and when he rushed out, he noticed that El's bow and arrow were aimed at him, so he used his two arms to block the front and protect his vital point. He is confident in his body's defenses, and no matter how sharp the opponent's bow and arrow are, it is impossible to hurt himself after shooting through his fingers.
His calculations were not wrong, and the two swift arrows that struck at him were stuck in his bones, immobilized by his bones, although they carried tremendous force and almost pierced his arms. The demon roared in the sky, and was about to speed up and rush towards El, when he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and his feet involuntarily lost his balance.
Although the two long arrows were caught by the bones of his arm, the other force attached to the arrows did not stop advancing. As soon as the careless demon relaxed, two invisible bolts of light pierced into his forehead and heart along the trajectory they had been aiming at before. The heart is the source of the demons' power, and at the same time their fatal point. After being pierced through the heart by this arrow, the demon's power suddenly plummeted, and he fell to the ground.
El rushed forward, stomped on the demon's head, raised the axe in his hand, and chopped off the demon's head with one axe. However, the demon's body struggled incessantly, flapping its hands wildly trying to leave a mark on El's body. El patted his chest, and a slender scorpion tail poked out of his clothes and stung the demon's body hard, which made the dead but not stiff demon completely honest, and the severed surface of the neck began to flow a miserable green fishy slime.
When the first horned demon was completely dead, a cold snort came from the hall of Locke Manor. Delaire sat on the head of the family's seat in a black robe, and crushed the crystal ball in his hand with an expressionless face.
"It's so much fun...... This guy is really not simple, what kind of power is that? It's not like an ordinary spell...... No wonder you can become a general at such a young age. De Laere groaned for a long time, raised his head to look at the fat man covered in cold sweat beside him, and said with a smile: "Romer, you really lost your eyes this time." โ
"The fall of Isttalon was both good news and tragedy for the Kemals, but thankfully they left a little spark. Viscount Chico wiped the cold sweat from his head and smiled at De Laer: "The remnants of Isttalon can no longer pose a threat to the Kemal family, but this young man is not a big trouble...... Don't you think this is an opponent left for you?"
"Opponent, hehe......" After listening to the fat man's explanation, De Laer's face slowly improved. He held his chin and thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "You're right, it's really a very suitable opponent." (Go to read OM) (Jiangsu Net)
