The corpse of the demon woman continued to burn until it turned into a pile of black shards. Siegel pulled out the stardust and kicked away the stinking shards with his foot. A green heart about the size of a plum was curled up in the splinters, trembling slightly.

This is the demon woman's second heart, and when she is dying, she can resist a magical attack so that it can be preserved. After a while, it will become like a rotten kernel, inconspicuous. It will follow the rain into the dirt and slowly accumulate the power of resurrection. Some unwary adventurers will miss this thing and let the ghost woman escape.

If other ghost women find this kind of heart, they will not hesitate to eat it, and then gain stronger magic power. Some wizards also collect these hearts to study or cast spell immunity spells. This thing is not available in the ordinary spell material market at all, but it is very secretly circulated among spellcasters.

Siegel didn't want anything like that, so he corroded it with acid. Streams of black smoke came out of the shriveled heart, marking the complete elimination of a demon woman.

Stardust was burned by the flames, so Siegel directly retracted it into the scabbard. He slowly walked down the hill, regaining his grip on the defensive staff in his hand.

Losing the howls of the canine demons and werewolves on the mountain, the herd begins to question their actions. They stopped, sniffing around, wondering why they had left their territory. They were surrounded by unfriendly predators, threatening and intimidating each other, fighting with their claws, with their screams, with their body odors, and with some impatience - all in all, the pressure on Evan and Ammon was much less.

The dog demon took on the form of a human. He looked to be in his twenties. An ordinary farmer or groom. The kind of most inconspicuous guy thrown into the village and town. He remained motionless under the spell, trying to figure out how to get rid of the threat of the "Black Flame".

Siegel decapitated his head with an obsidian dagger.

Without the support of the Transfiguration spell, the human head reverts back to the Inudemon, the vicious face with fangs and black hair. Siegel summoned the invisible servant to take the head, and walked over to the werewolf.

A werewolf is a bestiality, like a tiger, a bear, or a fox. However, werewolves like to work in teams, so they can form a certain social system, so they are more united and powerful than other bestials. They systematically infiltrate ordinary human society. Carefully avoid priests and acquire – or plunder – resources.

The number of priests in the New World was so small that it became a paradise for many beasts. It is even possible that the beasts of the Old World have come to settle here one after another. Siegel even had a guess that the nameless village they were staying in might be inhabited by bestials.

If the beastman passed in front of him, with his sensitivity to magic and the elements, Siegel would not miss it, but he had not met everyone in the village, and this ability could not rule out all suspicions. While looking for eggs, Siegel has a strange feeling that something is wrong in the village. Looking back on it now. He found that there was not a single dog in the village!

While this is not appropriate, priests, mages, and dogs can all recognize bestial people. Now Siegel can only hope that the three people in the village have enough strength to defend themselves.

Maybe don't worry. Siegel thought to himself, after all, Naria was also a mage. Judging by her attire and grooming, she should be a trainee mage of the Mage Federation. Because of the Elven Wars and the various accidents of the Federation, she has reached the standard of a full-fledged mage, but it is very likely that she has not been promoted to the title, so she does not have a seat at the Federation meeting. Judging from the magic fluctuations, Naria should be able to cast fireballs and lightning, both of which can be enough to kill beasts.

Do you want to torture the werewolf for some information?Siegel thought about it and vetoed the plan. He used the obsidian dagger to harvest another life, then cleaned up the site, recovering the elemental rune core, and removing the traces of the spell.

As for the clay golem, there's no good way to deal with it. Smashing it with spells has very little effect, and the risk of fighting it with weapons is too high. Fortunately, after the ghost woman died, it could not receive new orders, so it could only stand in place, like a statue. Even though Siegel withdrew the illusion, it remained motionless.

Let it be a sculpture here. Without repair and maintenance, the Clay Golem will slowly be eroded by wind, frost, snow and rain, thus losing its mobility. With enough time, a mage who is proficient in golem-making - such as Siegel - can crack its control spell and become the new owner of the golem. Time is always running out though, as always.

Siegel carried the heads of the canine demons and werewolves, lit up the shoulder armor, and continued to run towards Evan and Ammon.

There were more than fifty wolves, and the corpses of some werewolves, like sea fish that had been carried into the sky by a tornado and then fallen, were scattered on both sides of the avenue. The scene was a "mess", black blood stuck to the ground like glue, and no matter where it was stepped on, it would make a crackling sound.

"Diamond" was covered in blood, but it was fine except for a shorter tail and two more tooth marks on his buttocks. Ammon had an injured arm, and Evan was carefully bandaging her. The two of them were covered in blood all over their bodies, and the white gas coming out of their mouths was mixed together, and they were blown away by the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Like a walking lighthouse, Siegel paced down the avenue. The two of them saw him from a distance, looked at each other and laughed.

"What's ridiculous?" Siegel extinguished the light from his shoulder armor and stood across from the two blood-soaked guys. "What kind of trouble did you get into causing the canine demons and werewolves to attack?"

"We've seen a werewolf, where did the canine demon come from?" Evan took a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and was about to wipe his face, pausing before handing it to Ammon. The latter said thank you, took it, and rubbed it vigorously on his face.

Siegel showed the head of the dog demon and said, "I saw them calling for the beasts on the hillside, so I went and slaughtered them first. ”

"No wonder the wolves began to retreat after the fight just now. Evan took a closer look at the head of the dog demon and held out his hand in front of Siegel, "What kind of weapon do you use, it's cut neatly!"

Siegel slapped him on the palm: "Alright, hurry up and get on the road, Yao En and they are still waiting in the village." ”

"Stingy!" Evan said with a smile, then patted the horse on the neck, "Up the diamond, come up to my shoulder." ”

As soon as the diamond rolled over, she stood firmly on the ground on her three legs and took two steps to indicate that she could walk. Siegel said to it, "Someone may carry you away in the future." ”

The brown horse stopped, looking at Evan expectantly. "Your Majesty" laughed, and put two more front legs on his shoulders.

But Aemon stopped the two men: "You are just leaving, there are a lot of wolf carcasses here, and the wolf skins alone can be sold for a lot of money, so you don't want to do it like this?"

"Aren't you worried about Naria, the three people who can fight the most are all outside, and the three of them are still in the village, and it seems that only Anomen's martial arts are not bad. "And they're still worried about us, so let's go back early." ”

"You're right," Aemon pouted, "I just think it's a pity." Forget it, I won't pick up the stone bullets, let's go to the big town and buy some more. ”

With that, she lifted the stick horizontally behind her body and walked in front of the three.

Step on the bloody battlefield, and everything else is safe. A lost black bear ran into them unexpectedly, but just sniffed the smell and ran away. "Nalya won't let me hug me. Ammon said sadly.

"I don't mind. Evan replied with a smile, and then got a stick on the head.

When they returned to the village, they saw three other people waiting at the entrance of the village, but they did not see any fortifications. This village without even a fence swaggers along the road, unprotected from outside danger. Anomen was also surprised by the situation, especially when they woke up the villagers to inform them of the possibility of an attack, and everyone looked at them with idiot expressions.

"We can only build some obstacles near the firewood house, which can reduce the risk of being besieged, which is better than nothing. The dwarf pushed his glasses and stared at the head hanging from Siegel's belt, "Jay, is this the dog demon and the big werewolf you killed?"

"Yes. And I think there's more than one bestial werewolf. ”

"I feel that way, too. Yao En nodded: "I think it's better to be on double duty tonight." ”

"Somebody to boil some hot water for me, I need to clean it up. Aeon smiled and said, "Baby Naria, is the soap with you?"

Evan looked at the stains on his body and kept gesturing to Siegel with his eyes.

"Take the soap and go to Ammon. Siegel said, "You don't have to worry about the vigil, there are enough for the four of us." ”

Evan lowered his voice and said, "I will take care of the breastplate and full body armor, but I will not deal with the stains on the leather. ”

"Learn. Siegel replied categorically.

Anomen fetches buckets from the woodhouse and goes to the well to fetch water, and Siegel notices peeking through the cracks in the windows and doors of several houses. They seemed to be looking at the situation of the group, not knowing what kind of attitude they would have when it was dawn.

Siegel brought a stone and sat down at the door of the wood room. He unsheathed the sword behind his back and began to wipe it in front of the public. The sound of brushing and swiping echoed throughout the village as he moved, some of the eyes behind the door seals hiding, and false snoring came from the houses.

"I've checked, and neither of them has contracted bestiosis, and the horse has only a minor injury, which is a miracle. Anomen came to Siegel and looked at the sword in his hand with curiosity. "Your sword is interesting, why didn't you open it?"

"No, I don't have to. Siegel raised his sword in one hand and slashed at the stone slab in the doorway. The power from the Sharp Edge Shroud made this slash like a blade, easily destroying the slate, leaving neat cut marks.

"Good weapon," said Anomen, "should be able to deter the remaining beasts." ”

Siegel glanced at him, and the priest of the Earth God didn't look stupid at all, and nodded. With the help of such a priest, the level of competence of this squad is still good.

All the prying eyes in the village disappeared, and everyone had to go to "sleep" under Siegel's forced gaze. (To be continued.) )
