Chapter 9: Achieving the Demon Core
The demons gathered in a crowd continued to crowd, shouting frantically, revealing the chaotic and evil nature of the demons. Struggling to make his way through a wall of flesh surrounded by various demons, Efeld finally sees the protagonist of the event.
In the encirclement, a beautiful female demon was unleashing her anger, and at her feet, a thin cowardly demon was huddled in a ball, bearing the constant kicking and beating of the female demon, while there was also a demon larva in his arms wriggling uneasily, and Efeld clearly saw the mark on the larva that belonged to the red shroud of the ruler of Broken Domain.
According to Efeld's knowledge, the Red Shroud has only one herder in the Commodity Wilderness, and that is Efeld himself. And he happened to give each of the four cowardly demon larvae last night, and Efeld could even tell whose larva it was by the location of the mark on the larvae.
"Stop!"
Efeld shouted, stepping forward into the circle of demons. Although the cowardice curled up in a ball made Efeld unable to recognize one of his men, it did not prevent him from stopping the murder.
"Who are you, dare to me, Sarona?"
The beautiful female demon turned and stared at Efeld with eyes as clear as rubies, annoyed eyes shooting out of her eyes.
Efeld was immediately amazed, the female demon was 1.8 meters tall, more than half a head taller than Efeld, she was slender and graceful, with a human girl-like face, and a pair of antelope-like horns hovered backwards above her forehead, indicating her demonic identity. Behind her, a pair of wide bat wings flapped slightly, and her feet were very different from those of other demons, not hoof-shaped feet, but a pair of fleshy feet like humans.
Just when Efeld was amazed by the beauty of the female demon in front of him. The cowardly crunched on the ground slowly stretched out his body, revealing his protected head and face, and he grabbed the demon larvae and knelt down to thank Efeld.
"Thank you, my lord, that I bought this demon larva from a member of my own kind, not from stealing. β
This cowardly demon should have been bought by other demons with this demon larva with the red shroud mark, but it was targeted because it was unable to protect it.
When the cowardly demon looked up. Efeld immediately knew that he had recognized the wrong person, that the cowardly demon was not any of his cowardly foursome, so he immediately lowered his head and slowly stepped back, saying as he retreated.
"I'm sorry, I mistook the person. β
"Do you want to leave after recognizing the wrong person?"
The female demon's attention was completely absorbed by Efeld, and her anger shifted from the cowardly demon to Efeld, who glared at Efeld who bowed his head backwards, but allowed the cowardly demon next to her to burrow into the crowd with the demon larvae.
She waved her arm. Immediately, two berserkers with their forelimbs assisted in moving came out of the onlookers, but their height was only about one meter eight, and they didn't seem to be fully mature. Then the female demon Sharona gave the order.
"Finney, Lot, hold him, I'm going to see his fiery heart beating on my plate tonight. β
"Yes, Miss!"
"As you wish!"
The two-headed berserker immediately pounced on Efeld, who was retreating, and their strong bodies stood upright. At the same time, a foul stench forced the entire demonic encirclement to be more wide.
Berserker's skin secretes a liquid with a strong foul odor during combat, and any creature within three meters of Berserker's surroundings will feel nauseous. The urge to regurgitate and vomit, within which only those creatures who are strong enough and inherently resistant to poison can move freely.
Pressing that things were no longer good, Efeld took his weapon from his back with a backhand, ready for battle.
"Roarβ"
Before the person arrives, the taste arrives first. The wind brought up by the Berserker's pounce was the first to attack Efeld, but the Blade Demon was a demon who was not good at spells. As a result, the Abyss gave them a tough physique that far surpassed that of ordinary demons, allowing Efeld to maintain his fighting power in the midst of this stench.
Holding his breath, on the side of the giant blade in Efeld's hand, he had already rushed towards the pounced Berserker Demon, and he did not feel the pressure unique to the high-level demon on these two-headed Berserk Demon. Obviously, these two young berserkers are not of high rank, and they may even be under the strong demons that Efeld killed.
The first person to meet Efeld was the Berserker Finney, who jumped down from the air with a foul stench, and at the same time the energy in his body turned into a hammer shape and slammed into Efeld's head, which was the Berserker's spell-like spell, the Hammer of Chaos.
Efeld tilted his neck slightly, allowing the chaotic energy to pass through his side, and at the same time, the giant blade in his hand had slashed into the back of the Berserk Demon Finney. Although Efeld's body is very thin, his energy-rich evolution has given him strange powers that are completely different from those of other sword demons.
Warlord Finney didn't think Efeld's thin frame would give the Bone Blade enough power to cut through his own skin, but it turned out he couldn't have been more wrong.
Efeld's giant blade shimmered with metallic sheen, and the sharp edge sliced through butter like a hot dinner knife, smoothly slicing through the back of the Berserker, shaving the two muscular back muscles off his back, and then swung at the Berserker Lot, who followed closely behind, with the force of Efeld's great force.
The muscles of his back were involved in the support of his body and the contraction of his arms, and the furious battle of the lost back muscles immediately fell to the ground with a dog, and he desperately tried to support his body with his forelimbs, but he could only skewer on the ground.
Seeing the tragic condition of his companion, Lot's eyes immediately contracted, and he made a sharp brake, stopping his body outside the range of Efeld's giant blade attack, and then with a wave of his arms, the chaotic energy turned into two Chaos Hammers, and flew towards Efeld quickly.
With a swing of the giant blade, he had already sliced a Chaos Hammer through the middle, then tucked his stomach and leaned back, Efeld stretched his body backwards into an arched bridge, allowing the Chaos Hammer to fly over his nose. Slammed into another berserker scattered all over the ground.
"Whew~"
A cry of pain rang out, and a blow of the Chaos Hammer struck Finney's back, leaving the already blood-soaked wound in a bloody mess, and Efeld, with the screams of the Berserker, dragged the giant blade behind him and began to charge rapidly.
Efeld's footsteps and the tip of the bone blade stirred up a thick cloud of dust on the ground. The sound of the tip of the knife slashing across the ground seemed to pass through the hearts of all the demons who were watching, making them shudder, and they all took a step back, making the encirclement appear even more empty.
Charge, raise the knife, aim, spin.
Lot's Hammer of Chaos was desperately unleashed as if it didn't need energy, but Che was completely unloaded by Efeld's Blade Storm, and one by one the Hammer of Chaos slammed into the ground within the encirclement. smashed out small pits, and many Chaos Hammers also hit the demons on the onlookers, and then many demons took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack the smashed demons, making the scene even more chaotic.
When Efeld's blade storm blew around the Berserker Demon Lot, it was all over, just like the Giant Demon, the Berserker Demon who had reached the battle level of 11 in adulthood had no chance to grow, and his flesh was wielded by Efeld's tornado-like giant blade. Turning into a thin strand of flesh and a thick mist of blood floating in the air, his soul returned to the River Styx.
The Blade Storm lasted only a moment. Then Efeld stopped, grabbed the core of the dead berserker and threw it into his pocket, and Efeld dragged his bone blade slowly towards the female demon Sharona.
"This can't be!
Sharona's white face was still pale, and she shouted frantically as she slowly backed away. In her consciousness, there was no precedent for a lower-level demon to defeat a higher-rank demon. The two-headed berserk battle demon couldn't kill a sword demon, but was slashed by the sword demon and severely injured the other, which was an absolute counterattack in the abyss.
Could it be that this sword demon knight is not a sword demon, but an elite sword demon of a higher rank. Or is it simply a change from the Scythe Demon?
Salona thought in panic as she retreated and even moved slowly with her entire demonic encirclement.
Suddenly, she stumbles under her feet, and a fallen arm from a sneak attack demon trips her to the ground. When she looked up again, the tip of Efeld's foul-smelling blade was less than a centimeter from her nose.
"What's your name? What demon?"
"Sharona, Maggie. β
Sharona's gaze was fully focused on the blood-dripping blade in front of her, and the fear in her heart was fully reflected on her face, and she answered Efeld's question with a shudder.
"So, Witch Sarona, do it yourself, don't force me to kill you!"
Efeld's grim voice rang out over the head of the demon queen Sarona, and then he turned and walked out of the encirclement, demonic blood dripping from his knife. As he passed by the Berserker Finney, who was still unable to get up, Efeld's giant blade jerked up and slashed down.
Following in the footsteps of his brother, the soul of the Berserker Demon Finney also flew towards the River Styx, and the tip of Efeld's knife shook slightly, and a black crystal immediately flew out of Finney's still trembling body, which was the core of the Berserker Demon, and then he strode out of the demon's encirclement without looking back.
With the evil aura of killing the two-headed berserk demon, the onlookers couldn't bear his momentum at all, and immediately gave way to a passage and let Efeld leave.
Sitting on the ground, her wings and tail still trembling slightly, looking at the short figure striding away, Sharona's pale cheeks gradually turned red, but she didn't dare to roar until the figure disappeared from sight.
"I'm not going to let you go!
Her shouts echoed through the outer skies of the city.
Efeld ended his shopping trip, taking jerky and various daily necessities, and headed towards the gray wilderness, behind him, the cowardly quartet was happily discussing, their harvest today was not small, the demon larvae were sold for a good price, and they also had more or less more weapons and equipment on them.
On the tower in the middle of Broken Domain, the succubus and the red shroud Susa were combing their waist-length hair in front of the dresser in his bedroom, three days after the harvest day.
She seemed very happy that she had harvested many more demon larvae than usual on the day of the grazing harvest, which allowed her to recruit more demon henchmen, and the strength of Broken Domain was further enhanced.
As she combed her long hair, the mirror of the dresser suddenly spun strangely. Turned into a piece of chaos, and after this chaos settled, the face of a male demon appeared in the mirror, the top of his head and eyes were a burning flame, and even when he opened his mouth to speak, there was a puff of smoke, this was a Barlow Flame Demon.
"The Red Shroud. I have something to tell you. β
The demon in the mirror looked at the succubus Susa and spoke slowly.
"Tolter, you never talk to me. β
And the succubus succubus Susa was quite surprised, this Baro Flame Demon did not have a good relationship with her, but he was also a subordinate of the Succubus Queen, and he was a little familiar, for his sudden contact, Susa was silent for a while, put down the comb and said.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"One of your men has offended the beloved young daughter of an Abyss Lord. He wants to know what you mean. β
The voice of Thort of the Barlow Flame Demon came out of the mirror, and at the same time, the mirror turned into chaos again, and when it was clear, a vivid image of the sword demon appeared in the middle of the mirror, and even the proportion of the bone giant blade to the body was clear, and it was the figure of Efeld.
Looking at the image of the sword demon in the mirror, Susa frowned and thought for a moment, and then immediately remembered. This little guy is alone with a group of cowards across the Grey Ice Plains. The Blade Demon who was now grazing on the gray wilderness in search of demon larvae, and this time it was able to harvest so many demon larvae. The credit of this little guy cannot be buried.
"Knife Demon, this little guy's name seems to be Efeld......"
Susa slowly remembered that Efeld knelt before her and swore to serve her for twenty years. She couldn't help but think of the sword demon she had been.
Just as Susa's thoughts were flying, the words of the Barlow Fire Demon in the mirror with the smell of fire pulled her back to reality.
"Red Shroud, how are you thinking about it?"
After a slight pause, a seductive smile appeared on the succubus's beautiful face, and then she spoke slowly.
"To make amends for his sins. How about letting him participate in a bloody battle?"
Hearing the succubus's answer, Tolte was silent for a moment, then replied slowly.
β...... , Susa, it seems that you are still thinking about Samuel. But that's fine, so be it. β
Apparently he also knew about the past of the succubus sorcerer, and decided not to pursue it, so he did what Susa decided.
The demon's face in the mirror slowly dissolved into chaos and disappeared, and when it regained clarity, the succubus Susa was already standing in front of the window, she looked at the blood-colored sun close to the horizon outside the tower, and sighed softly.
"Little one, there's nothing I can do about it, it's up to your luck. β
And at this moment, in the gray wilderness, in the cave where Efeld lives, Efeld is entering a critical moment.
According to the old troll, Efeld sent out the cowardly quartet to guard the surroundings, while he crossed his knees in the deepest corners of the cave, then took out the strong demon core and swallowed it in one gulp.
The round, crystal-like core caught the saliva in Efeld's mouth and fell smoothly into his stomach pouch. Then Efeld, who looked inward, immediately felt the difference.
The acid used to digest food in the stomach pouch was originally clear and transparent, but as soon as the magic core of the strong demon fell, a gray gastric juice was immediately secreted from the wall of Efeld's stomach, and as soon as this gastric juice appeared, Efeld's whole body became hot, and at the same time, as soon as the gray gastric juice touched the surface of the demon core, the sound of the demon core sounded, and the black energy that made up the magic core was immediately released, and then absorbed by the stomach wall of Efeld, and then quickly flowed along the blood vessels of the whole body, and was transported to all the muscles of the whole body and the prototype of the demon core in the lower abdomenγ
Efeld closed his eyes and looked inward, completely oblivious to his appearance. Under the nourishment of this dark energy, his body is growing hard, his muscles are beating, his bones are stretching, and his fascia is dilating, if his original body is only a little bigger than the cowardly demon, then his current height is close to that of the demon queen Sharona, after completely absorbing the dark energy in the demon core, it may even exceed one meter eight.
However, Efeld's physical changes are not the greatest, and the rudimentary changes in his demon core are even greater. Originally, it was just a ball of dark energy with a spiritual imprint, but under the infusion of this pure energy, it was compressed and compressed, and it was slowly transformed into a liquid form in the form of gas, and a dense protective layer was formed on the outside, turning into a soft black liquid ball.
What made Efeld even more excited was that the spirit imprint that flashed in the original strong demon core was also completely transferred to Efeld's magic core, and according to the old troll, this was only a 1 in 1,000 probability that it would appear.
Feeling it slightly, Efeld was pleased to find that this spiritual imprint was the same spell-like spell that the strong Mokato had released many times in a row in the battle with himself, the suggestion technique.
At this moment, in the dantian three inches below Efeld's navel, in a soft black ball, two spiritual imprints shining like stars swirled, bringing him infinite confidence and strength.
"Finally achieved the magic core, in the future, just add more dark energy. β
Standing up from the sit-in, Efeld's whole body erupted in a series of explosions like firecrackers, and he stretched out comfortably, when he suddenly noticed that a mirror placed on the inside of the cave suddenly trembled. (To be continued......)
