The Wind Rises Chapter 103 The Heart of the Lion
The demon summoner stood in the barrier surrounded by flames, just the pillar of fire he brought when he appeared had already turned a large number of surrounding residents into ashes, and most of the residents here had status, but status never represented strength.
"Fire, flames," the demon summoner said inarticulately, his tall and thin body standing still, but a blood-red flame appeared in his hand and threw it towards the crowd.
"Help!"
"Run, run."
"City guards, city guards, kill him!"
The crowd immediately panicked, and the appearance of the previous aggressive persecution of the city guards could no longer be found, exactly the same as the behavior of those people in the outer city when facing the sudden appearance of the demon, panicked, helpless, and frightened.
"Get out of the way!" The young squad leader was one of the first to react, and with his shield in his hand, he rushed towards the falling flames, kicking the pushing crowd down and placing the shield in front of the blood-colored flames.
"Don't!" Edward's roar came, and the team leader turned back in surprise, but it was too late.
The blood-red flames smashed on the squad leader's shield, and instead of burning the squad leader, it began to corrode and destroy the white light film on the squad leader's shield at an extremely fast speed, which was Edward's knightly secret method, the steel sun.
"What?!" As soon as the team leader's words were asked, the blood-red strange flame had already broken through Edward's steel sun in an instant, and then began to spread along the team leader's shield blocking the flames.
"No," Edward muttered in despair.
"Ahh The flames quickly began to grow, and the shield was even more unbearable than wood in the face of this blood-red strange flame, almost a piece of tissue paper, and in the next moment the shield was disintegrated, and then the blood-red flames wrapped the team leader's whole body.
The flames rose up, and after touching the flesh, the flames seemed to be extremely fueled, and they bloomed furiously, engulfing the team leader in it, and a roar of pain came from inside, and then, it quickly fell silent.
When the flames burn out, there's nothing left in place...
Only the Demon Summoner, the weird "Huh... Hehe, burn, hehe...".
"Ahh Edward's cry of pain was suppressed in his throat, and in the blink of an eye, the young squad leader who knew him with a sense of responsibility and justice was burned into nothingness in front of him, and the impact made Edward tremble.
The buzzing shock echoed in his mind, some long-ago memories clashed in Edward's mind, the same despair, the same powerlessness, which made him unable to even move for a while, the feeling of confusion filled his head, and his legs and feet trembled a little, not fear, but some instinctive reaction.
"Run, don't be stunned!" The sudden force from his arm brought Edward back to his senses from the violent impact, and blood-red flames had once again appeared in the demon summoner's hands, and the crowd ran directionlessly, like lambs to the slaughter in front of the demons.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, go quickly." The cat-man girl took Edward's hand hard, and the weak soldier next to her also motioned for Edward to go first and leave him alone.
Looking at the anxious eyes of the cat girl and the weak and persistent face of the soldier next to him, Edward shook his head with some determination, "I can't go, I can't run away this time." β
"You go first, I must stop it." Something was retrieved by Edward, and the lethargy and violent shock of his mind no longer bothered him.
"Okay, okay..."The symbol of the Night's Blade on Edward's body, the cat-man girl and the soldier both knew each other, and without too much entanglement, the cat-man girl supported the soldier and began to evacuate.
Glancing at the place where the squad leader was burned by the flames, Edward let out a long breath, even if he knew that life and death were in an instant, even if he knew that the battle was always cruel, but, really, really too fast, so fast that it felt unreal.
However, this is the reality, never be bound by this, regrets are to make amends, not to create more regrets, Edward once again lifted his shield and long sword, and aimed it at the demon summoner who was burning with fire in his hand.
The Demon Summoner, a special demon of Hell, has a low level of intelligence and uses a variety of spell-like abilities that are unique to Hell.
Erosion of blood flame, is one of the abilities of the demon summoner, an extremely terrifying flame from hell, when it encounters matter, it will burn wildly, completely burning everything in a certain volume, it is this destructive power to reach an incredible flame, easily piercing Edward's steel sun and shield, killing the team leader.
The strength of this demon is at the same level as the butcher and the eye demon, but, why, obviously in the communication, the forbidden army has already arrived at the defense line of the outer city and the city wall area of the royal city, there should be no demons to enter, how did this demon summoner come about.
A demon of this strength can basically be dealt with by a high-level official knight, and as an Edward who has just stepped into the threshold of a formal knight, he can only delay and block the demon summoner and kill it, which is basically impossible.
"Burn, burn!" The flames in the Demon Summoner's claws were thrown out again, tossing towards the crowd that was crowding the place, its brutal instincts driving its superior intelligence among demons to kill more humans.
The blood-red corrosive blood flame flew in an arc through the air towards the crowd, and once it came into contact with the excellent fuel of the human body, this extremely terrifying spreading flame would turn all the people who came into contact with the flames and the large number of people around them into nothingness.
"Boom!" The flying cabinet blocked the path of the flames, and the cabinet that flew from the ground was instantly wrapped and ignited after touching the flames, and disappeared completely in a few moments.
But the top-down cupboard also carried the flames into the sky, and after burning the cupboard, it dissipated because it could no longer touch anything else.
"Fire?" The Demon Summoner tilted his head and looked at where the cupboard was flying, where Edward was dragging the second cupboard out of the smashed shop, and he had thrown the same cupboard that had flown up earlier.
"Give me, die!" His muscles tensed suddenly, and the anger in his heart combined with the strength and fighting spirit of the explosion, Edward threw the cupboard out again, only this time the target was not the sky, but the place where the demon summoner was.
"Goh?" The Demon Summoner let out a strange cry, and then a crimson pentagram of sparks flashed from his claws, and then a translucent wall of fire made of flames that looked like a crystal wall rose from the ground.
"Boom!" The cabinet thrown by the powerful flew smashed on the wall of fire, which was obviously a wall of fire but showed the properties of a purely physical entity, and the wooden cabinet slammed into it, and immediately shattered and burst due to the force of the force, turning into broken pieces of wood.
A human smile appeared on the Demon Summoner's hideous face, as if mocking Edward's inadequacy, but by the time the cupboard burst to obscure the Demon Summoner's gaze, Edward had already moved.
Holding the sword in front of his chest, he charged, and the wood chips flew and fell, obscuring part of the Demon Summoner's gaze, and then Edward had already appeared in front of the Demon Summoner's Flame Shield Wall with his sword.
The fighting qi is transferred, from the body to the blade, and the fighting qi is used to run through!
The long sword stabbed out with great speed under Ed's power, and when it came into contact with the wall of flames, the fighting energy contained in it also turned into blades and fiercely confronted the wall of fire.
"Quack." The destructive power of the long sword against the Flame Wall was very limited, but when the Specialized Dou Qi and the Flame Wall collided suddenly, because of Edward's own outstanding Dou Qi quality and reserves, he successfully broke a gap in the Flame Shield.
With this crack point, the longsword found its way to exert its force, and under the push of Edward's muscles, a piercing cracking sound was heard, and the longsword forced its way in, the tip of the sword piercing into the belly of its emaciated body before the demon summoner could react.
"Die!" A muffled scream came from the Demon Summoner's mouth, and a flash of fire erupted on its body, and then Edward felt the force of the huge impact in front of him, and the whole person flew upside down.
Adjusting his stance in the air, he plunged his sword into the bricks, plowing through a row of tiles as Edward stabilized himself above the ground.
Looking up, the place where the demon summoner was just now was empty, a hole had been made in his abdomen, and the demon summoner, whose green blood was flowing continuously, had appeared on the top of the house next to him.
"Flickering flames, demon summoning...", Edward's tone was solemn, the demonic summoner's spell-like ability was really difficult, although it was weak, but once it failed to contact it, it was difficult to find a chance to kill it.
Next to the place where the Demon Summoner had disappeared, a bull ghost that looked like it was made of ashes still carrying flames was there with its limbs, ready to charge at him again, and it was the thing that knocked him away.
That's a spell-like ability unique to demon summoners, Ember Call, the demon servants created by a level lower than it, can't destroy demon summoners, and this thing will quickly resurrect if it is scattered.
"But as long as it can be delayed, the evacuation should be almost over." Edward stared in the direction of the Demon Summoner and the Ash Bullghost, silently thinking in his mind that his purpose was not to kill, but to delay.
However, his predictions were soon shattered, and a cry of horror came from behind, followed by the malicious laughter of the demon summoner.
"What is this!?"
"My leg, my leg was burned off, it hurts!"
"Where did the wall of fire come from? It was the demon who made it just now, it's over, it's over, we're all going to die here! β
A tumultuous chatter came from behind, and Edward's face was hard to see, what was going on...
Quickly glanced back, Edward chuckled in his heart, in the direction of the crowd's withdrawal, a wall of flames rose from the ground, blocking everyone's retreat, and some unlucky ghosts didn't have time to stop before the sudden flames, they were squeezed and bumped into by the people behind, and they turned into charcoal in an instant.
"Damn itβ" Edward's anger burned in his heart, looking at the face of the demon summoner who seemed to be smiling, there was no doubt that it did it, and its brutal nature was not happy to watch such a group of bugs that could be tortured and killed.
"But..."Anger flashed, frustration suddenly took over, anger was useless, he had already had a big problem when he failed to kill the demon summoner in the first place, with Edward's strength, it was difficult to kill the demon summoner himself.
And now the sudden appearance of the wall of fire, even Edward can not do it by delaying the evacuation of the crowd, what to do, the feeling of powerlessness spreads unconsciously, and the negative emotions cannot be washed away.
"Fight! Everyone, we can't let Mr. Night's Edge fight alone, since we can't escape, it's better to muster up the courage to fight hard! β
A loud voice came, Edward's brain shook again, and when he looked back, the cat girl was holding a wooden stick in her hand and looking at it a little funny waving, but her tone was full of determination.
"Don't give up on meow, we're not cowards!" She waved her hand, obviously so thin, but so brave...
"Well... Good! β
"But... We..."
"Count me in!"
Most of the crowd was still flinching, but some responded, and most of the city guards didn't hesitate to turn around and take out their swords again, aiming them in the direction of the demon summoner.
"Alas... Hehe, I'm so funny. Edward was stunned for a moment, and even almost let his guard down on the Demon Summoner and the Ash Bull Ghost.
"Isn't it these people that I want to protect, they all understand the truth that you must not give up before the last moment, what about me, I am actually depressed, how can I be, it's so funny, it's too cowardly..."
Memories of the past flashed through my mind, my fists clenched, and I would never repeat them...
Edward looked in the direction of the demon summoner, the fire shield in front of the demon summoner was twice as thick as before, which was a little scary, the previous all-out attack only broke half the thickness of the shield, and now, I'm afraid I can't even break the defense.
And if you use that? Yes, but can it really work? Oh, what is the reason for saying no, my father said that the important thing is not the bloodline, but the "heart of the lion".
The hesitation and frustration in his heart all faded, and Edward was only resolute and resolute at this moment, and the exquisite long sword in his hand was raised, inserted into one of the sockets in the lion-headed shield he had been using, and the moment the blade entered, violent energy fluctuations began to appear.
The shield began to deform delicately, and the armor pieces disintegrated and covered the blade, lengthening and thickening the long sword, which was somewhat smaller than the shield, into something similar to the handle.
The shield continued to deform, and as the pieces moved and shifted, a huge mechanical shield axe appeared in Edward's hand.
The fluctuations that appeared on this were not the fluctuations of the magic energy of the magic guide, but the aura emitted by the pure, materialized Dou Qi.
The blood vessels on Edward's arm burst out, the capillaries began to burst, the bones gurgled, and the excessive fighting energy circulating in his body had begun to rebel, in fact, he couldn't move when he took the axe, and the constantly gathering fighting energy began to cover the blade of the axe.
The terrifying sense of crisis essentially pressed on the face of the demon summoner who was targeted by Edward, and a trace of panic appeared on the hideous face, and a strange cry appeared, and the ash bull ghost immediately began to sprint towards Edward.
"Ahem, sure enough, it's still a little uncontrollable, did my father lie to me, but if you can cut it, then you can go with me."
Edward stared at the demon summoner on the roof, trying to move, but some invisible chains had trapped it for no apparent reason, and it was completely forbidden to walk or flicker with fire.
"Come!" The ash bull ghost has almost rushed to the front of him, at this time Edward can't move at all, and at the same time, because of the excessive amount of fighting energy, the body itself is on the verge of ruin, once it is hit again by an external force, it is more than lucky, but he is already fearless, shouting, why be afraid!
The axe blade was cut off when the cow ghost was about to hit, because it was difficult to bear this power, it was a little slow, and suddenly, a figure broke through the wall from the side and rushed out, and the cow ghost slammed together, and it was extremely outrageous and forcibly used the power to knock the cow ghost away together.
"Damn, it's time to catch up!" The unique expletives that blurted out illustrate the identity of the comer.
A slight smile appeared on Edward's face, and then it was replaced by firmness, and the wildly vibrating axe blade was cut down, and a qi blade used the axe blade as the starting point to spread out explosively, tearing everything in front of Edward apart, cracking, and slashing!
