The demon summoner stood in a barrier surrounded by flames. Just the pillar of fire he brought when he appeared had reduced a large number of surrounding residents to ashes. Most of the residents here were of high status, it is true, but their status It never represents strength.
"Fire, flame..." the demon summoner said inarticulately. His tall and thin body stood still, but a ball of blood-red flame appeared in his hand and he threw it towards the crowd.
"Help!"
"Run away, run away."
"City Guard, City Guard, kill him quickly!"
The crowd immediately panicked. The previous aggressive manner of forcing the city guards could no longer be seen. It was exactly the same as those in the outer city when faced with the sudden appearance of the demon. They were panicked, at a loss, and frightened.
"Get out of the way!" The young team leader was one of the first to react. Holding the shield in his hand, he rushed towards the falling flames. He kicked down the pushing and squeezing crowd and put the shield on the bloody ground. In front of the flame.
"Don't!" Edward roared, and the team leader turned around in surprise, but it was already too late.
The blood-red flames hit the captain's shield. Instead of burning the captain, it began to rapidly corrode and destroy the white light-emitting film on the captain's shield. That was Edward's knight's secret technique, the Iron Sun.
"What?!" As soon as the captain asked, the strange blood-red flames broke through Edward's steel sun in an instant, and then began to spread along the shield that blocked the flames.
"No..." Edward murmured desperately.
"Ahhhhhh!" The flames began to grow rapidly. The shield was even more unbearable than wood when faced with the strange blood-red flames. It was almost like a thin piece of paper that caught fire. In the next moment, the shield was disintegrated. Then the blood-red flames enveloped the squad leader's body.
The flame rose up. After contacting the body, the flame seemed to have received extremely sufficient fuel. It bloomed violently and completely covered the squad leader. Painful roars came from inside, and then it quickly fell silent. .
When the flames burn out, nothing is left...
There is only the devil summoner, the weird "hehe... Kehehe, burn, hehe..." laughter.
"Ah!..." Edward's painful cry was suppressed in his throat. In just a blink of an eye, this young team leader who he knew to be quite responsible and righteous was burned to nothingness in front of him. This shock made Edward's whole body Tremble.
The buzzing shock echoed in Edward's mind, and some long-standing memories conflicted in Edward's mind. The same despair, the same powerlessness, which made him unable to move for a moment. A chaotic feeling filled his head, and his legs and feet were trembling, but it was not fear. , but some kind of instinctive reaction.
"Run away quickly, don't be stunned!" The sudden force on his arm made Edward recover from the violent impact. Blood-red flames appeared in the demon summoner's hands again, and the crowd was stunned. Running in the wrong direction, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the devil.
"What are you doing? Why are you in a daze? Let's go." The cat girl pulled Edward's hand hard, and the weak soldier next to him also gestured to Edward that they should leave first and leave him alone.
After looking at the anxious eyes of the cat girl and the weak but insistent face of the soldier next to him, Edward shook his head firmly, "I can't leave, I can't escape this time."
"You go first, I have to stop it." Something was recovered by Edward, and the dizziness and violent shock in his mind no longer bothered him.
"Okay, okay..." Both the cat girl and the soldier knew the symbol of the Night Blade on Edward. Without too much entanglement, the cat girl helped the soldier and began to evacuate.
"Huh..." Glancing at the place where the team leader was completely 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 battle would always be cruel, but, it was really, really too... It's so fast that it feels unreal.
However, this is the reality. Never be bound by this. Regrets are to make up for it, not to create more regrets. Edward once again raised his shield and sword, aiming at the demon summoner with flames in his hands.
Demon Summoner, a special kind of demon from hell, has low-level intelligence and can use various spell-like abilities unique to hell.
Corroding Blood Flame is one of the abilities of the Demon Summoner. It is an extremely terrifying flame from hell. When it encounters matter, it will burn crazily and completely burn out things within a certain volume. It is this kind of destructive power that reaches incredible levels. The flames easily penetrated Edward's steel sun and shield, killing the team leader.
The strength of this kind of demon is on the same level as the Butcher and the Beholder, but why, it is clear from the communication that the Forbidden Army has arrived at the defense line outside the royal city and the city wall area. There should not be any demons that can come in. This demon summoner is coming again. How did it come about.
Demons of this intensity basically require high-level formal knights to deal with them. As an Edward who has just entered 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, towards the crowds of people who were squeezing to escape. Its brutal instinct drove its intelligence, which was outstanding among demons, to kill more humans. .
The blood-red eroding blood flames flew through the air in an arc and flew towards the crowd. Once it comes into contact with the human body, which is an excellent fuel, the flames with extremely terrifying spreading ability will turn all the people who come into contact with the flames and the surrounding people into pieces. nothingness.
"Boom!" The flying cupboard blocked the path of the flames. When the cupboard flying from the ground came into contact with the flames, it was instantly enveloped and ignited, and completely disappeared in a few moments.
But the cupboard flying from top to bottom also brought the flames into the sky. After burning the cupboard, it dissipated because it could no longer touch anything else.
"Fire?" The demon summoner tilted his head and looked at the place where the cabinet flew up. Edward was dragging the second cabinet out of the smashed shop. He had also thrown the cabinet that flew up just now.
"Give it to me, go to hell!" His muscles suddenly tensed, and with the anger in his heart coupled with the burst of strength and fighting spirit, Edward violently threw the cabinet out again, but this time the target was not the sky, but the demon summoner. the place where it is located.
"Gu?" The demon summoner made a strange cry, and then a red pentagram array with sparks flashed away on the sharp claw in his hand, followed by a translucent wall made of flames that looked like crystal. A wall of fire rose from the ground.
"Boom!" The cabinet that was thrown out by Da Fei hit the wall of fire hard. It was obviously a wall of fire, but it showed the properties of a pure physical entity. The wooden cabinet hit it and immediately collapsed due to the force. It shattered and exploded, turning into broken pieces of wood.
A humane smile appeared on the Demon Summoner's ferocious face, as if he was mocking Edward for his overestimation. However, when the cabinet exploded to block the Demon Summoner's gaze, Edward had already moved.
He raised the long sword in front of his chest and charged. The wood chips flew and fell down after partially blocking the Demon Summoner's sight. Then, Edward appeared in front of the Demon Summoner's flame shield wall with the long sword raised.
The fighting spirit flows from the body to the sword blade, and the fighting spirit penetrates through using skills!
The long sword was thrust out very quickly under the power of Ed. When it came into contact with the wall of flames, the fighting spirit contained in it also turned into the blade and fiercely fought against the wall of fire.
"呲GA." The destructive power of the long sword against the flame wall is very limited, but when the specialized fighting spirit that penetrated the wall suddenly collided with the flame wall, because of Edward's outstanding fighting spirit quality and reserve, he successfully broke the flame shield. A gap.
Relying on this rupture point, the long sword found the direction of exerting its force. Under the push of Edward's muscles, a harsh breaking sound came, and the long sword forced its way in. The tip of the sword was before the demon summoner could react. Plunging into the belly of its lean body.
"Death!" An inarticulate scream came from the Demon Summoner's mouth, and a burst of fire broke out on its body. Then Edward felt the huge impact in front of him, and his whole body flew out.
He adjusted his posture in the air, pierced the long sword into the bricks, and plowed open a row of floor tiles while Edward stabilized his body again on the ground.
Looking up, the place where the Demon Summoner was just now was empty. A hole was opened in his abdomen, and the Demon Summoner, with green blood flowing out, had appeared on the top of the nearby house.
"The flames flicker, the devil summons..." Edward said solemnly. The magic-like ability displayed by the devil summoner is really difficult to deal with. Although it is weak, once it fails to contact it, it will be difficult to find a chance to kill it.
Next to the place where the Demon Summoner disappeared just now, a bull ghost that looked like it was made of ashes with fire was digging the ground with its limbs, preparing to charge at him again. This was the one that knocked him away just now. stuff.
That is the unique spell-like ability of the Demon Summoner. Call of Embers creates demon servants one level lower than it. It cannot destroy the Demon Summoner. If this thing is scattered, it will quickly resurrect.
"But as long as we can hold them back, it's enough. We should be able to evacuate them almost." Edward stared in the direction of the demon summoner and the ash cow ghost, silently thinking in his heart that his purpose was not to kill, but to delay.
However, his expectations were quickly shattered, as a horrified cry came from behind, followed by the demon summoner's malicious laughter.
"What's this!?"
"My legs, my legs are burned off. It hurts so much!"
"Where did the wall of fire come from? It was caused by the demon just now. It's over, it's over, we are all going to die here!"
Numerous frightened comments came from behind, and Edward's face turned extremely ugly. What happened...
Looking back very quickly, Edward's heart skipped a beat. In the direction where the crowd was evacuating, a wall of flames rose from the ground, blocking everyone's retreat. Some unlucky ones who didn't have time to stop in front of the sudden flames were caught behind. People crowded into it and were instantly reduced to charcoal.
"Damn thing..." Angry emotions burned in Edward's heart. Looking at the face of the demon summoner who was smiling but not smiling, there was no doubt that this was what he did. His cruel nature was not happy to see such a group of people being tortured and killed. The bugs escape.
"But..." The anger flashed past, and the frustration suddenly took over. Anger was useless. There was already a big problem when he failed to kill the demon summoner at the beginning. With Edward's strength, he It would be very difficult to kill the Demon Summoner.
And now the sudden appearance of the wall of fire made it impossible for Edward to delay the evacuation of the crowd. What to do? The feeling of powerlessness spread unknowingly, and the negative emotions could not be washed away.
"Fight! Everyone, we can't let Mr. Night Blade fight alone. Since we can't escape, it's better to muster up the courage to fight hard, meow!"
A loud voice came, and Edward's mind was shaken again. Looking back, the cat girl was holding a wooden stick in her hand and waving it a little funny, but her tone was full of determination.
"Don't give up, meow, we are not cowards!" She waved her hand, obviously so weak, but so brave...
"well!"
"But... we..."
"Count me in!"
Most of the crowd was still shrinking, but some responded. Most of the city guards turned around without hesitation and took out their swords again, pointing them in the direction of the demon summoner.
"Oh...hehe, I'm so funny." Edward was stunned for a moment, and even almost relaxed his vigilance against the demon summoner and the ash cow ghost.
"Aren't these the people I want to protect? They all understand that they must never give up before the last moment. What about me? I'm actually depressed. How could I? It's so funny, so cowardly..."
The past memories flashed through my mind, and I clenched my fists, never to repeat them again...
Edward looked in the direction of the Demon Summoner. The fire shield in front of the Demon Summoner was twice as thick as before. This was a bit scary. The full attack before only broke through half of the thickness of the shield. Now, I'm afraid It can't even break through the defense.
What if I use that? It's possible, but is it really possible? Oh, is there any reason why we can't do it now? My father has said that the important thing is not the bloodline, but the "heart of a lion".
All the hesitation and frustration in Edward's heart faded away. At this moment, Edward was left with only determination and determination. He raised the exquisite long sword in his hand and inserted it into a socket in the lion head shield he had been using. The moment the blade entered, violently Energy fluctuations began to appear.
The shield began to undergo precise deformation, and the armor pieces decomposed piece by piece to cover the sword blade, lengthening and thickening the long sword that was somewhat small compared to the shield, and turning it into something similar to a handle.
The shield part continued to deform, and as the parts moved and changed positions, a huge mechanical shield ax that seemed to have no sharpness at all, but was extremely mechanically beautiful, appeared in Edward's hand.
The fluctuations that appear here are not the fluctuations of the magic energy of the magic device, but the pure aura exuded by the fighting spirit after materialization.
The blood vessels on Edward's arms bulged, the capillaries began to burst, and the bones creaked. The excessive fighting energy circulating in his body had begun to rebel. In fact, when he picked up the ax, he could no longer move. Fighting energy began to cover the ax blade.
A terrifying sense of crisis substantively pressed on the face of the demon summoner who was targeted by Edward. For the first time, a hint of panic appeared on the ferocious face. A strange cry appeared, and the Ash Bull Demon immediately began to charge towards Edward.
"Ahem, sure enough, I still can't control it. Did my father lie to me? But if you can chop it off, then you can come with me."
Edward stared at the Demon Summoner on the roof. It tried to move, but some invisible chains trapped it for unknown reasons. Whether it was walking or the flickering of flames, it was completely prohibited.
"Come!" The Ashes Niu Gui was already rushing in front of him. At this time, Edward couldn't move at all. At the same time, his body was on the verge of collapse due to the excessive force of fighting spirit. Once he was hit by an external force again, it would be very dangerous, but he was already helpless. What you are afraid of, shout loudly, why be afraid!
The ax blade was cut down just as Niu Gui was about to hit him. It seemed a little slow because it could not bear the power. Suddenly, a figure broke through the wall from the side and rushed out at high speed, and collided with Niu Gui fiercely. It was extremely forceful. He used his strength to knock the cow ghost away with him.
"Damn it, I caught up!" The unique curse words blurted out revealed the identity of the visitor.
A slight smile appeared on Edward's face, and then was replaced by determination. The wildly vibrating ax blade slashed down, and a blade of air spread out explosively from the ax blade, tearing, breaking, and killing everything in front of Edward!
