Ivas had been prepared for a long time.

He wasn't really disabled. At such a distance, the Deformed Demon, who acts on instinct, will definitely attack himself first.

There's basically no way he's going to hit the Deformed Cripple - with its reflex nerves, it's easy to dodge even if you shoot it. How could Ivus, who had never studied swordsmanship, hit it?

The Deformant is immune to curses, so the Severe Cough enchanted on the "Noble Red" ring has no effect on it; It is largely immune to the Laws, and is too fast for the Legalists to catch it; It is also immune to petrification, so Lady Maya's Amber Fire is also ineffective against it.

But even without exposing the Shadow Fiend, Ivas had already figured out how to deal with it.

As he made up his mind, a golden-red glow lit up at the bottom of his pupils, and his left hand lightly pressed on the holy sword.

Isabel, who was hiding in the corner, saw this scene, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

- It's really Mr. Fox!

She subconsciously stretched out her right hand, and the voice was about to blurt out-

But the next moment, Isabel's mind went blank.

I saw that Aihuas, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pierced through his chest by a deformed limb demon who had been deformed again and his right hand had become extremely long and narrow!

His wheelchair rolled backwards, crashed into Lily's body, and bounced back. Caught off guard, Lily was hit directly by the wheelchair and flew out, but what really paralyzed her whole body was what she saw...... Claws that burst out of Aihuath's back.

But Ivas didn't die.

Because long before he was attacked, he used the flame on his holy sword as a medium in advance and began to use the method of "fire worship"!

So the moment he was attacked by the Deformed Limbs, he recovered some of the wounds he had received.

Bishop Mea immediately recognized it - this is a skill that only a combat-savvy priest can master, pre-healing!

Prepare for healing before a teammate or yourself is injured – heal the moment you take the damage, so the impact of the hit is minimized. There will be no fainting from the impact, nor will there be a pause in thinking due to severe pain. From the outside, it was as if he had withstood the attack.

This technique does not require special training, only the ability to predict the actions of the enemy.

And Ivus knew the Morphed Demon too well—he had even used the Demon's body in advanced rituals. The demon scholar who contracted the Climbs Demon was not as proficient in the Climbs as Ivus.

After realizing that he would definitely eat an attack from the Deformed Demon's body after he cut it down with a single sword, he decided to simply use his body as a trap to trick the other party into attacking.

This subconscious move is in line with the criteria of transcendence and dedication. Eivus felt the power of the path pouring into him, strengthening his perception, willpower, and life force.

After staying awake as he had hoped, using pre-healing to resist the must-eat blow, Eivas knew he had won—

He immediately pressed his left hand, which had been cut by the Holy Sword, against the arm of the Deformed Demon. With just a touch of the blade, his palm was sliced open and blood flowed out. He was using the fire ritual method, and he happened not to be burned by the flames and cause the wound to scorch.

It's like every person who has been pierced through the chest by the deformity demon and is powerless to struggle...... In vain, he held down his wound and the deformed demon's arm, hoping that it would not be pulled out. But after all, it's just a luxury.

But Ivas is different.

The moment his wounded and bleeding left hand pressed against the Deformed Demon's arm, the Deformed Demon's aggression decreased dramatically.

It is the breath of "shepherding" that is scorched by the holy fire and provoked for a short time!

Although the depth of the two paths is uneven at this time, Eivas is unable to properly guide the art of shepherding. But the scent of sanctified flesh and blood was already honey to the phantoms—the deformed demons with meagre intelligence and obedient instincts couldn't tell the difference.

When he realizes that the human beings in front of him are not enemies, but shepherds who give strength and flesh, the hatred of healthy people and the demonic instinct for promotion are briefly clashed.

The Cromb Demon crashed for a moment and froze in place.

But after all, shepherding is not complete—and even if it is, it will not be able to directly control the powerful deformity. It only froze for a moment.

And when it hesitated, Ivus did not hesitate to swing the holy sword again, and easily cut off its second arm!

The Choulded Demon let out a terrible, furious wail—the pain had brought it to its senses and no longer hesitated to attack Ivas. Every limb is a part of strength and essence, and it can also be considered a life of it. Even cutting off its head would not stop it, and only destroying its limbs would allow it to dissipate temporarily.

But Ivas had enough time to buy.

"-Demon!!"

As the Cripple Demon rolled on the ground in pain, Gordon, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, roared and charged, slamming the Crub Demon diagonally out of front of Ivus with a shoulder strike!

It was only a few seconds before Bishop Mea issued a warning.

Edward chose to take her word for it. Because the situation of Ivas is not optimistic.

Edward, who was standing on the first floor, immediately drew a pistol from his waist and aimed it at the middle-aged man on the second floor, who was wrapped in chains and turned into rice dumplings.

Seeing him raise his gun at such a distance, someone next to him panicked: "Inspector Edward......"

"—shut up." Edward responded coldly.

He didn't want to hear what the person next to him was trying to say, and he didn't even think about looking back.

"The law gives me the right to shoot."

Edward whispered, then pulled the trigger.

I saw that the muzzle of the gun spewed out a beam of silver light, engulfing the middle-aged man's head in an instant!

There was no blood spatter, and there were no broken flesh and bones. When the light cleared, the man's skull even appeared intact, except for a thumb-sized black dot in the center of his forehead.

Because it was the soul that was shattered. This ensures that the person has no means of emergency escape or rebirth.

And at the moment when the man was killed, large pieces of flowing black runes suddenly appeared on the white and abnormal skin of the deformed limb demon.

They flowed from the deformed demon's chest to the limbs, and the black runes that gathered together turned into nothingness. In this way, the deformed limbs began to disintegrate and disappear from the end. The arm that had been inserted in Aihuas's chest suddenly disintegrated and disappeared. Evas, who continued to use the method of ritual fire, immediately used a large amount of mana to heal the wound.

The Deformed Demon stared at Ivus, letting out an indefatigable roar.

It burst out with great force - even though the Deformed Demon had been weakened by Ivas for two rounds, its frantic attack still put the aging Gordon in a state of crisis in an instant.

- For some reason, it seems to be trying to get closer to Ivus.

Gordon's armor, which had shone with a silver glow, was now tattered, dull, and dented. But he still stood in front of Ehuas, firmly holding back the deformity's attacks.

The furious Deformed Demon realizes that it can't break through here, and it attacks Gordon with all its might. The end of its limbs had been reduced to nothingness, and it used its transformed whip-like arms to whip Gordon wildly, and Gordon's helmet had been whipped out long ago.

"Gordon, get out of the way!"

Seeing that Gordon was about to fall into a state of crisis, the voice of Ivus suddenly came from behind him.

Gordon had his back to Ivus, and he couldn't see anything at all. His vision was completely covered in blood, and his brain was buzzing and spinning from repeated blows. It was all because of the strength of the Dao Path that his body was strengthened, so that his head was not blown up.

But he still subconsciously chose to obey Ivus's orders.

Perhaps it was because he didn't call himself "Chief" or "Sir", which reminded Gordon, who was already a little confused, of being ordered by his commander when he was in the army......

He fought his way through the attack, holding the blood-soaked and broken blade in front of his eyes, keeping his eyes on the deformed demon, and sliding to the side and back.

For a split second, from behind him, a scorching flame roared through him.

Although Gordon was wearing armor, the sweat from the back of his neck from the fierce battle was almost instantly dry. His right ear was swept by the scorching flames, and the hot wind roasted his ear canal.

It was like a crescent moon, showing an arc-shaped golden sword aura.

It shone with a scorching glow, and twisted air steamed around it. Only the tail has a faint red fire.

- It was the decisive blow that unleashed the mana infused into the holy sword in one breath.

In normal times, it would not have been able to hit the Deformant. However, by this time, most of the limbs of the deformed demon had disappeared, so it was unable to transform its body again, and it was impossible to dodge it...... It was completely pierced through the middle, and instead of blood, it burst out of a large number of sparks.

The remaining arms of the Deformed Demon were finally completely burned by the Holy Fire when they were about to be expelled.

The remaining half of the firelight, which had lost its arc moon shape, struck the demon wall full of tentacles.

But even so, the Divine Weapon-level [Hexado] trait has already caused it to cause great damage to the Demon Wall. The moment the flame touched the magic wall, it spread in all directions like a flame burning a spider's web. With just one breath, the hideous flesh tentacles that covered the entire club were burned to ashes in an instant from that point as the center, which was very visually impactful.

Under everyone's gaze, under the light of the sunset outside the window, the red-hilted sword in Aihuas's hand that had extinguished the flames gradually blurred and dissipated, turning into a huge crimson key.

Ivus, whose chest was completely pierced by demons and whose priest's uniform was soaked in blood, had recovered most of his injuries through the fire ritual method.

The brand-new Holy Sword insignia on Ivus's chest had been stained red with his own blood. The chest of his priest's robe was also a large red patch, and there were circular holes visible to the naked eye, revealing the new, white skin that had just recovered through the fire ritual method inside.

But no one laughed at Ivus. People looked at the eighteen-year-old boy in a wheelchair with respect.

Even Ivus's voice at this moment seemed so majestic:

"The demon has been banished! Don't panic, please stay where you are, don't push!

"Let the priests treat the wounded first – they can still be saved!"

The crowd, which was still in chaos just now, subconsciously chose to obey Ehuas's orders.

Lily, who was still a little staggering, staggered over and whispered, "I'm sorry, Iwas...... I can't help you with anything......"

In the sudden impact, she felt her weakness for the first time.

Before that, she didn't care about supernatural powers. In her opinion, it was just "strength for fighting", and she didn't like to fight. But for the first time, Lily had such a strong desire for power—at least the next time Ivus was attacked, she couldn't be as powerless as she was.

"It's okay, Lily."

Ivus looked at the glasses on Lily's face and whispered, "There's always a chance...... Do I need treatment? ”

"Let's give it to people who need more healing, I was just hit, but there are quite a few people who have been directly penetrated by demons......"

Lily shook her head and hissed softly over her belly.

At this time, Aihuas finally received a long-overdue prompt:

【Expelling the Deformant Demon and Gaining Free Experience 210】

- More than ten times more experience than Veronica!

He roughly estimated that this experience earned for nothing was enough to directly raise a class from level 10 to level 19!

Successfully snatched the head, the corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

It's not in vain that I was stabbed by it. Ivus thought to himself.

By the way, speaking of illusions......

At this moment, Ivus suddenly remembered that there was an audience under him.

Why is there no movement? Silly?

"How, Shadow Fiend?"

So Ivus took the initiative to open his mouth and asked in his heart, "Are you satisfied?" ”

【…… Convincing, my esteemed master]

The Shadow Fiend was silent for a long time before he spoke in a quiet female voice.

Its answer is brief, but the change in attitude is noticeable.

The frosted, hoarse voice was a little softer, which meant that its flattering attitude towards Ivas was becoming more and more obvious. It's like when a cat pleases its owner, it will make a much more vocal sound than usual.

Ivas smiled contentedly, looked up at the sunset outside the window, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, it was very coincidental that Eivers, Lily, and Gordon stopped at the position they had just been awarded.

The knight's armor on Gordon's body was tattered, the helmet didn't know where it had flown somewhere, and the sword of honor had been punched out with obvious defects; And Ivus's chest also had traces of being pierced, and the blood-stained holy sword badge on his chest glittered in the sunset. Lily wasn't in great shape, but she still stood loyally behind Ivus, hitching on his somewhat deformed wheelchair.

The reporter who was the first to discover the demon and shoot at the demon like a demon saw this scene and was pleasantly surprised to find that his negative had not been used up.

So the reporter pressed the shutter again on Aihuas, and recorded and fixed this scene as well.

A large update of nearly 8,000 words!
