Chapter 298 I'll Burn Them

Seeing the people of Noble Red gradually gathering, Aiwass, who was hiding in the priest's house, narrowed his eyes slightly.

...There are a little too many people.

He counted a little and found that there were at least thirty people wearing red robes. They haven't even fully emerged from the forest yet.

After these red-robed men left the forest, they restored order without any command at all——

The moment they came out, they were a little noisy because of their excitement, but they quickly quieted down and spontaneously formed a square of spellcasters more than one meter apart. And immediately started to perform the ritual in rows, ensuring that anyone who performs the ritual has a companion who can monitor the surroundings at all times.

Just looking at this sense of order, Aiwass felt a thump in his heart.

——This is not the elite force of the Noble Red, right?

The batch they sent when they attacked the Supervisory Bureau already looked very professional. But they are obviously not as elite as this group of people.

Aiwass knew that there was indeed a regular army within Noble Red. But he didn't know much, after all, Noble Red didn't make it into the book.

The giant prince Wolfram himself does not know how to train people... After all, the reason why the giants were defeated by the knights was because the giants had long been accustomed to their own strength, and there was no battle formation or coordination at all. They just fight on their own.

But within the Noble Red there are air cavalry who defected. He brought a systematic training and command plan to Noble Red - Aiwass had done this side mission and had a little impression of it. But the whole thing was skipped, so I don’t know the details.

I only vaguely remember that this person was a student of the Great Guardian, and he seemed to have defected because of jealousy or something, feeling unfair.

As a player at the time, Aiwass didn't think it was anything. But now he really feels the pressure——

Demonologists trained on an army scale are very difficult to deal with even at the third level. After all, Demonologists are essentially two units, one is a demon and the other is a scholar... This means that these Demonologists can turn into a group of spellcasters at any time with a large number of front-line human shields that are not afraid of death.

The only good news is that the giant leading the team is only a little over three meters tall.

This shows that either his bloodline is impure, or his level of power path is not high. The latter shows that his status in the giant kingdom is not high... then he should not have mastered the special mysterious skills passed down by the royal family, nor should he have divine blood.

Aiwass remembered that the giant prince Wolfram was an advanced professional wizard of the ritual mage. He is truly divine and very difficult to deal with.

As for Noble Red, as an association dominated by demonologists, they must have at least one high-ranking demonologist.

——If nothing else, it should be him.

A pure demonologist is better than a former high-level warrior who works part-time as a high-level demonologist - although the giants themselves are quite fleshy, if there is another high-level melee professional level, Aiwass really doesn't know how to deal with them. .

Seeing Aiwass frowning, Lily gently tugged on the corner of his clothes.

"Master," Lily whispered, "How about I assassinate him directly..."

Aiwass turned back suddenly and glanced at Lily in astonishment.

——How dare you?

When did Lily become so radical?

"...He is most likely at the fifth level," he said, feeling a bit toothache, "You'd better take it easy. Shadow Demon may be able to help you kill him, but he may not be able to bring you out again..."

Lily has not yet completed the second advancement ceremony to adapt to the path and reached the third level. Even if the priority bonus of her equipment is added, it is impossible to assassinate a fifth-level transcendent with strong vitality in a group of regular soldiers and then return safely.

Even if he included the Flame-Contrary Butterfly, he didn't have the confidence to save Lily again.

"But," Lily frowned, "if we don't take the initiative..."

Through the window, they could see the demonologists arranging some kind of ritual.

They first summoned their own demons to their side, and then began to carefully strengthen their status.

——Aiwass recognized it, it was the devil's madness ritual.

They first turn the demons into madness and make them lose their minds, and then use the power of the contract to enslave them. This is a mysterious technique used to control a demon stronger than oneself.

This made Aiwass a little anxious——

What are these people here for? Are you also looking for the Book of Dharma?

I hope Haina and Sherlock hide and don't come looking for them at this time.

Otherwise, with their strength, they would be in trouble when meeting these demonologists...

But at this moment, a person in the demonologist phalanx suddenly saw Aiwass.

His eyes, covered by the red robe and still shining with scarlet brilliance, met Aiwass's eyes.

Avas was suddenly frightened, subconsciously pulling Lily and starting to retreat quickly.

Lily also realized something and began to arrange layers of white silk threads in the room.

About two seconds later, a black thunder that stretched and shortened like a worm suddenly shattered the glass and exploded in the room!

After it hit the ground, it shattered into countless fragmented black electric lights, and the corrosive aura from the dark magic power exploded spiderweb-like purple cracks on the ground and walls. Fortunately, those threads blocked part of it, otherwise it would have splashed onto Aiwass.

Just as Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief, another scorching fireball came in through the window.

It shone with platinum light and steamed with rolling heat. It began to expand violently the moment it entered the house, and it was too late for Aiwass to find a way to summon the Flame Butterfly.

Aiwass subconsciously turned around and hugged Lily, throwing her to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Shadow Demon!"

The shadow under Lily suddenly expanded, and the Shadow Demon came out of it, forming a semi-arc shadow shield, blocking them behind.

The fireball that entered the living room exploded, shattering the walls, floors, tables and cabinets in the living room!

The whole ground was shaking and trembling. The scorching flames began to spread in the room, and the thick black smoke burned the walls black.

Aiwass easily identified the two spells.

——This is the Bone Rot Thunder and Fireball!

The former is an armor-piercing ritual spell that can burn through metal armor directly and penetrate shorter walls and barriers... The ritual materials used are the three vertebrae of an old man and the bile of a young girl.

The latter is a classic blasting spell.

Aiwass is very familiar with the power of Fireball, because Aiwass's "explosion" attribute Flame Butterfly is equivalent to a Fireball.

However, Fireball is a spell of a mage, and demon scholars usually lack fire attribute mana and cannot release it. Therefore, this is probably a joint bombing launched by the demon he contracted towards the target he attacked.

And being hit by the fireball head-on, the shadow demon also made a muffled sound.

It is not a phantom demon that is good at defense. If it is not to protect Aiwass and Lily, its normal way of dodging is to hide in the shadow.

"... I will kill them, Aiwass!"

The shadow demon roared in a low voice: "It's useless for you to stop it!"

The flames did not cause any harm to it, but the light emitted when the fireball exploded made the shadow demon feel obviously uncomfortable. It was probably like throwing a ball of feces at a human's face - not much damage, but extremely insulting.

Perhaps because of the influence of the demonic frenzy ritual that was in progress, the Shadow Demon's aggressiveness became significantly stronger.

"Ah, me too."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, and the purple light was looming: "I won't stop you..."

He just took a look from a distance, and was hit twice by a spell... and even a finishing blow. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been seriously injured.

Originally, Aiwass was thinking about whether to avoid it.

After all, the fifth energy level is really not easy to mess with.

He himself is not afraid... but if he angers them and causes trouble for Eagle Point Village, it will be bad.

—— But when these noble red demon scholars took the initiative to attack him, Aiwass suddenly realized the identity of these people.

There is a reason why they are like rats crossing the street in Avalon. These demon scholars have the experience of massacring villages, and even the "Big Purple" group has just massacred a village before coming to Glass Island.

For these demon scholars who have no taboos, humans are just walking ritual materials... They have become accustomed to slaughtering villages without resistance to supplement ritual materials. And now with the support of the fifth-level extraordinary, they will not have any scruples.

Before, Aiwas had been living on Glass Island. Until the attack on the Supervisory Bureau, there had basically never been any major disasters, and the Noble Red had always been a man with his tail between his legs on Glass Island. So he didn't have any particularly obvious feelings about this, and didn't think they were so scary. He just thought they were just a group of clowns.

And now that this fireball came down, Aiwas suddenly understood. They didn't intend to leave any survivors, and it had nothing to do with whether he provoked them or not.

Aiwas finally realized what the "massacre of the village" that he had only read about in the game text and newspaper text meant.

——These people are not clowns, but real demons.

"...Heh."

Aiwas's pupils gradually ignited purple-red flames, and the purple in them became brighter and brighter.

"A fifth-level giant. More than 40 regular troops above the third level... quite a challenge."

"They are all scum--"

The increasingly furious and malicious voice of Shadow Demon rumbled in his mind: "Kill them, Aiwas! Go ahead and kill them!"

"--Quiet, Shadow Demon."

Aiwas's cold voice sounded: "Don't order me. I am your master."

Between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, a pure red card appeared out of thin air like a magic trick.

A butterfly pattern was outlined with black lines on it, and the butterfly on it could not wait to start flapping its wings.

"--The Butterfly of Rebellious Flame."

Aiwas whispered her name: "Come and kill people."

"As you wish, brother."

An ethereal and cold voice with an echo sounded from Aiwas' heart: "I will burn them."

Then, a stream of fire flowed out from the center of the card--

Update completed!

I'll update twice a day, three times a day is a bit harmful to my health...

I'd like to recommend the new book "My Armed Maid" by a new author (probably a new author), and give a thumbs up~
