Chapter 20: Dragon Steps

"The five zombies he controls alone can kill us, not to mention the manipulator of the spell - in other words, in your experience, can you tell the strength of the other party's 'poisonous magic'?"

As soon as the conversation changed, the woman's eyes and topic shifted to the girl.

Compared with the excitement of fighting with zombies at the beginning, the current girl has long been so frightened that she can't speak.

It's human beings, after all—even if they are hidden, they can't hide the fear of the rest of their lives.

"What kind of poisonous magic, should I say it...... Even I can't tell the difference. ”

“…… What class of magic do you guess? ”

"Estimated Extraordinary...... No, even to the level of the Demon Tier. ”

The girl commented in fear, her tone trembling throughout.

"Demon Level...... No matter how powerful a human magister is, it's impossible, right? ”

This speculation seemed to be dismissed by the boy as uncanny nonsense, but he had to believe it a little.

It is indeed unbelievable that in the human body, the "phantom level" magic alone may leave side effects.

Not to mention the "Super Illusion Level" of the higher order and the "Demon Level" that is close to the peak.

The white-faced demon was unharmed at all, and he was still talking with ease just now, without even a little respite.

"It's fundamentally non-human intensity...... If we are forced to fight them next, we can discuss what to do about it – but in my opinion, the situation is no longer going to work. ”

"In your opinion, how should we escape this guy's clutches while ensuring the survival of one person?"

The woman was dull, her distressed thoughts all written on her confused face.

The three of them were obviously no match in the eyes of the white-faced demon, and they all knew it.

No enemy will be kind enough to let the other party discuss tactics in front of them.

Although I know that the difference in strength between the two sides is very huge, this time is always an opportunity, a chance to flip.

What could be the last opportunity for the trio to discuss tactics cannot be wasted.

"This may be the arrogance of the strong, since he is willing to let us talk to each other, indicating that he may have a relaxed attitude, in this case, we have some room for discussion with him."

"You...... Want to ask for peace? ”

The boy confirmed incredulously.

The tone was not to mock the woman's cowardice, but to doubt whether the other party would let go of his doubts.

This sounds ridiculous, but it's also the most practical way to do it.

It is undeniable that his life is in the hands of the white-faced demon, and he has no power to refuse.

"That's the most optimistic situation - in short, there is no room for maneuvering, and only hard work is the right solution."

"Is that really good......?"

"There is no other way - if the peace talks fail, the battle will inevitably happen, and I will simply assign the work. You're in charge of using earth magic to cover our whereabouts, and you're only going to have to cooperate with me as a secondary attacker. ”

The perceptive boy had already heard the woman's intentions.

They may be called attackers, but in fact they are just bait to attract the attention of their enemies.

Only the boy who hides in the shadows to assist the attacker is the last survivor.

Of course, boys are not villains who sacrifice others for survival.

He dismissed it summarily.

“…… Doesn't that mean you have to be the main attacker, the solo vanguard? You're the most senior of the three of us, and it's too dangerous to be assigned like this! Can't do that! The one who survives must be you. ”

"Regardless of seniority and seniority, I have only one goal, to try my best to leave my life back and report it. There's no way I'll be able to escape his clutches with my secondary attacker, so you're the best person to cover for. ”

Tough eyes were fixed on the boy, and despite the reluctance of a thousand people, the woman's determination was decided.

The life and death caused by this victory or defeat are not decided by them, let alone manipulated.

There are variables at any time after the fight, and no matter how perfect the plan is, it is futile.

Unable to resist the woman's entrustment, the boy gave up the rejection.

He nodded reluctantly.

"In that case, the plan begins."

After about ten minutes of private conversation, the three faces hidden by the burqa turned back to the white-faced demon.

The woman expressed her friendliness standing first.

"We have a serious discussion about this conflict, and we believe that if the two sides fight in such a private venue, it will inevitably cause local trouble, and if you don't mind, we hope that it can be reconciled."

"Is there a need for reconciliation? Even if the whole town were buried in our battle, it wouldn't hurt, right? ”

It was impossible to discern the true expression beneath the mask, but it was clear from the tone of his voice that the white-faced demon seemed to be unimpressed by the proposal, even a little sarcastic.

Of course, the woman understood the secret meaning of the white-faced demon.

She chose to try to persuade again.

"I understand that you don't care about the lives of all government officials, but it doesn't matter if there are not only soldiers around this port, but innocent residential areas just a few kilometers away?"

"Residents? Oh——! You're right, it seems too inhumane to let the unarmed innocent people suffer from the flames of war! It seems that this thing really can't be ......."

Seeing that the white-faced demon still had a trace of mercy, the three of them suddenly felt that a bright turn was about to come-

"If we had killed all the inhabitants in their sleep before the battle, it wouldn't have been a problem, would it?"

The white-faced demon seemed to have found the only good way, and he proposed it to himself.

Such a proposal has long been beyond the thinking of the three of them, and it is no longer incomprehensible.

"What......?"

"If you fear the fear of war for innocent people, wouldn't it be the most wonderful thing in life to put them in a sweet sleep and end their lives by the gentlest and most painless means?"

"This ...... There are so many people, nearly hundreds of thousands, how are you going to wipe everyone out overnight? ”

"Huh?"

The white-faced demon asked as if in confusion, not understanding the woman's question.

Then he explained in a relaxed tone as if he was telling common sense:

"The spread of the mutant virus only requires air or water and other vectors to infect within half an hour, and if it is infected, it only takes 10 seconds to stop the heart beating, which is very easy."

"Mutant virus...... Where the hell did you learn such terrible poisonous magic? ”

The girl, who had been silent just now, finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and asked uneasily.

In exchange for a mundane reply.

"It's not that I learn from others, it's that I 'create' this kind of art, so that there is the beauty of poisonous magic."

"You say...... Poison magic was created by you? ”

It sounded like madman's nonsense, but it came out of the mouth of the white-faced demon but convinced the three of them.

Without giving the three of them time to be shocked, the white-faced demon seemed to be a little impatient, and there seemed to be something to do next.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the dark roof of the warehouse, as if he was observing something.

"It's not too early......"

The pitch-black ceiling made the white-faced demon murmur thoughtfully.

Then he shifted his gaze back to the three of them - but showed a different "irritability" than just now.

"I'll be straight to speak, and I'm here to harvest your lives on the instructions of my lord—and, of course, the old battalion commander who colluded with you, and all the soldiers and minions present who were involved in the deal."

"Your Excellency?"

"Yes, great people you will never reach."

"What the hell ......?"

The trio did not understand the white-faced demon's explanation.

However, the white-faced demon had no intention of explaining at all.

"This is the fate of the weak, and it is also fate. I don't think your previous request was necessarily a concern for the safety of the residents, but simply an attempt to use morality to restrain my actions...... It's a pity that I don't eat this set. ”

"Sure enough...... Do you see through our minds and speak wildly? ”

"Hehehehe...... During my time in this town, I have already killed many innocent people, because they hinder the implementation of my plan, and at the same time I need 'food', which is indispensable. ”

"Food ......? Do you like to eat human ......? ”

"Definitely. It is simply a human body as a container and a sample for a new poison. For me, I can sustain it

Tens of thousands of years of fasting can stop drinking water forever. However, the research and development of poisons alone is urgent. ”

“…… How fanatical are you about poisons? ”

"How? Want to see where my poison expertise has reached? ”

"Is there really no room for compromise?"

"If you're still begging me to let you go, you might as well start thinking about how to deal with me."

"That's right......"

In an instant, the woman's eyes seemed to change-

In the blink of an eye, the boy and the girl suddenly lost their figures.

"This is the punishment for not eating and drinking in the toast."

The woman dismounts like this.

The white-faced demon looked around, trying to capture the girl and the boy—

"Earth Dragon lurking!"

Three cracks suddenly popped out of the calm ground, and the white-faced demon looked down - five "earth dragons" made of dirt suddenly burst out of the cracks, and fiercely pounced towards the white-faced demon.

The white-faced demon unhurriedly raised his hands to defend himself, but his hands were pulled by some kind of force.

"...... this?"

"Naraku's embrace."

Controlled by a woman, she uses dark elemental clusters to restrain the white-faced demon's limbs, immobilizing it.

The woman then shouted to somewhere, "Now! ”

The five menacing earth dragons mercilessly bit each of the white-faced demon's limbs and chest, trying to bite it.

And that's not all the offense—the white-faced demon has several powerful shockwaves from behind.

"Poison Swamp Bomb!"

From the girl's sneak attack, the dark purple poison balls like snowballs smashed into the back of the white-faced demon one after another, causing a violent explosion, and the figure of the white-faced demon was instantly engulfed in the smoke that came out.

The collaboration was very successful, and the solid physical assault gave the trio a sense of life.

It's just that the white-faced demon didn't move at all and didn't make a sound, which made the woman feel very uneasy.

Don't forget to add attacks.

"Brake the stabbing gun!"

The woman squatted down the center of gravity of her posture and put on a preparatory posture for throwing spears - her right hand as a force gathered a large number of dark elements and compressed them into a slender "brake spear", which was so powerful that it caused a lot of airflow.

Taking a big deep breath, he poured cold air into his chest, his lean arms filled with strength.

Pouring all hope into this "brake jab gun" is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to resist.

If you don't die, you will be injured.

"Get out of the way of both of you!"

"Good!"

The boy and girl agreed in unison and hurriedly jumped away from the smoke.

"Go ahead! It's up to you to see if you're blessed to survive! ”

With a long roar in the sky, the "brake stabbing gun" burst through the air with great force and rushed violently into the smoke - the second explosion sounded again.

The reassuring vibration shook the warehouse again, and the surrounding wooden boxes were shattered by the air flow caused by the "brake guns", and even the iron house of the warehouse was about to be unable to withstand the attack, and almost collapsed.

The ears that are still ringing in the ears will not deceive, and the "brake jab" has indeed hit the white-faced demon.

"Did it work?"

The woman couldn't hide her excitement and said to herself—but it was the voice of fear that replied to the woman's self-talk.

"Obviously, the attack was really impressive."

It was the voice of a white-faced demon.

Suddenly, all three of them took a step back in fear.

The slender and tall figure slowly walked out of the smoke, and his graceful steps did not look like the state after being devastated by various attacks, and his relaxed tone stimulated the eardrums of the three of them.

The only change was a few small pieces of dust and wood chips attached to the dark green suit.

The white-faced demon patted his suit disapprovingly, then looked up at the stunned trio.

"That's it! What other tricks do the three of you have to try out next? ”

I had tried my best to attack and cooperate just now, but in exchange for perfunctory ignorance.

The three of them instantly became angry.

"Wooden Buddha Palm!"

The wooden cactus that fell from the sky covered the head of the white-faced demon with no warning, and this time even the only remaining wooden box around it was crushed—and the boy continued to attack like a madman.

"Wooden Buddha Palm! Wooden Buddha palm! Wooden Buddha palm! ”

The successive wooden palms continued to overlap, which was already about to crush the white-faced demon's whole body.

It's a pity that it still doesn't work.

I don't know that after being weighed down by several "Wooden Buddha Palms", a sudden explosion shattered the Wooden Buddha Palms.

The shaky air jets squirted towards the boy with shards of wood, and the technique was forcibly lifted.

The boy looked incredulously, and his mind briefly fell into a daze.

Until a long silver-white hair with a soft and unidentified floral fragrance instantly appeared in the scattered pieces of wood-

"I'll take your life."

Before the boy could react, a tingling pain came from his abdomen.

Then there was a pain in the cut, but soon there was no feeling-

The smoke from shattering the wooden Buddha's palm obscured the sight of the woman and the girl, and thirty seconds had passed since the smoke had cleared.

When the two opened their eyes, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The boy was gone—the whole person had been cut beyond recognition, the burqa and black coat that covered his face were inevitably cut into pieces, and the boy's organs and flesh were mixed in.

"When......?"

"Keep you two waiting."

The two of them then turned their heads to the voice of the white-faced demon—

The white-faced demon once again stood back in the position where it had been suppressed by the wooden Buddha's palm, only to see that the hands that were originally wearing pure white gloves no longer had the palm shape that humans should have, but were close to the sharp shape of a sharp knife.

The "hand knives" dripping with blood and pieces of meat resemble butcher knives used to slaughter poultry.

The white-faced demon sighed softly, "sigh", and the hand knives in both hands quickly changed back to the palm shape that humans should have.

"Of the three, the boy's ability is the most ordinary, so naturally he will end his humble life in the most ordinary way, do you think my decision should not be excessive?"

"What the hell are you...... What are you talking nonsense about? ”

"This boy's ability is biased towards the 'auxiliary' function, as an expert at covering your actions, you are holding on to your actions to win my attention, and then take advantage of this to let that boy escape from my sight."

"You...... Guessed it a long time ago? ”

"It's rude to use the word 'guess'. Your plans and actions are under my control, because your weakness cannot escape from my control, which is why I am watching your performance as a 'spectator', and naturally it is quite easy to dissect all your actions. ”

"Did you just ...... Is it a deliberate attempt not to do anything to resist? ”

"An attack that doesn't even scratch an itch naturally has no need to defend against it. I don't know if it's too late to tell, but I'll warn you - as long as the power of the spell doesn't exceed the 'Dragon Rank', any attack will be ineffective. ”

"Dragon...... Dragon Steps!? Isn't that second only to the most difficult 'God Rank'? ”

"Now you should recognize the facts, right? It is impossible to defeat me with human strength. ”

The consciousness of the two men was close to collapse.

The powerful aura had completely disrupted the thoughts and sanity of the two.

I don't know when the white-faced demon in front of me killed the boy, and his methods are so cruel.

Not to mention that just now both of them were in the smoke, obviously they had no power to fight back and showed their flaws, but the white-faced demon did not take advantage of this to launch a surprise attack on himself and the girl, but instead enjoyed cutting the boy's flesh-

It proves that the two of them are just lambs to the slaughter for him, and they don't need to be dealt with urgently.

And he's trying to have fun in the process.

This person...... Far more evil and dark than you think.

The white-faced demon swung off the blood and flesh from his gloves, and his eyes did not take off the two of them.

"So...... Now it's my turn, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them instantly reorganized their posture for war

But just after a second, an ominous dark green figure rushed over.

The white-faced demon's primary target was a woman, and he didn't know when he appeared in front of the woman, and the distance between the two was only a few centimeters-

"What!?"

"Silence."

The cold right hand lightly touched the woman's throat, as if it was pointing at the acupoint.

The woman hurriedly planned to perform the technique...... only to find that he could not speak.

The girl saw that the white-faced demon's technique, "Absolute Sound Poison", could instantly erode the vocal cords and weaken them.

The white-faced demon instantly grabbed the woman's neck and lifted the whole person in the air.

This made the girl very nervous.

"Don't want to touch my eldest sister with this white face!" Poisonous cells'! ”

Tiny poisonous cells burst out of the air, instantly detonating and giving birth to poisonous pollen that destroys nerves.

But the white-faced demon didn't even look at it.

Just coldly "hehe" twice.
