Chapter 441 Duke Dracula
Standing on the top of a small hill, Illidan looked at a small town not far away. This small town was the only small town in the nearby area that he had heard from the bat-winged demon. The city lord was a demon duke. Coincidentally, this demon duke was also a bat-winged demon.
Unlike the world of Eslaze, the cities in the demon world did not have such things as city walls. Ordinary city walls could be climbed easily by bronze-level warriors, not to mention that there were many types of demons whose body structures allowed them to walk on walls as if they were flat ground or fly directly.
Of course, although there were no city walls, there were still some fences to distinguish between towns and wastelands. The small town in front of Illidan was a relatively prosperous one. Although the demons coming and going at the entrance of the city could not be called a constant stream, there were still many of them.
After a brief observation, Illidan walked down the hill and entered the small town. When entering the city, there were several demons similar to soldiers collecting the entrance fee, but Illidan had no magic coins, so he gave off a little deterrence to scare the demon soldiers and went straight into the city.
The Demon Duke was only a legendary level, and the legendary level fire demon that Illidan transformed into was very powerful, so he didn't have to be afraid of the lord called Dracula in this small town.
As soon as he entered the city, Illidan felt the powerful energy fluctuations coming from the center of the town. At the same time, a large number of demons in the city became excited and began to rush to the center of the city together. Looking at the demons around him rushing to the center of the city like chicken blood, Illidan was puzzled, but he also followed them to the place where the energy fluctuations broke out.
After getting a little closer, Illidan sensed it. It turned out that at this time in the center of the town, there were two legendary demons fighting. Looking at this huge and chaotic energy aura, it seems that it is not a competition but a life-and-death battle?
Quietly squeezing into the crowd, Illidan silently listened to the discussion of the demons and watched the battle in the central square of the city.
After all, the small city is not as small as the small town, and elemental demons are not rare. Illidan's appearance did not attract too many demons' surprise and attention, especially when two legendary demons were fighting on the field.
After listening to a few words, Illidan learned the reason for the battle from the onlookers.
It turns out that in addition to reaching the strength to go to the 134 demon cities for certification and enfeoffment, there is another choice to become a titled demon. This choice is to directly destroy the existing demon lord and take his title and territory for yourself.
Of course, there is also an unspoken rule in the middle, that is, only the same level can be seized. For example, a gold-level demon cannot attack a demon baron; a legendary demon cannot seize the title of a demon marquis.
If you are at the same level, you can kill the original lord, and you can directly become a demon noble at that level. Just like the sickle demon who is fighting with the bat-winged demon Duke Dracula on the field, if he can kill Duke Dracula, he will become a new demon duke.
This is good news, and Illidan suddenly felt much more relaxed. Almost all the demon kings in the Abyss Land are flesh and blood species. It is difficult for the elemental fire demon he transformed into to obtain the status of a demon noble in the Abyss Land to achieve his wish through formal channels.
Now, if he kills a demon duke directly, Illidan, the fire demon, does not need to go to the Castlevania for certification, and directly becomes a demon noble of the highest level.
After learning the reason for the battle, Yu Fei no longer cared about the discussions of the onlookers, but watched the ongoing battle in the square carefully.
Although Duke Dracula is a bat-winged demon, he is completely different from the drunkard bat-winged demon that Illidan saw in the town of Bivot. There is no huge pair of bat wings behind him. The whole person looks like a gentle human noble, but his skin color is abnormally pale.
The Scythe Demon opposite him looked more ferocious, with both arms holding huge sickles, and looked somewhat similar to Setes.
The battle on the field had obviously just begun, and it was still unclear who was stronger and who was weaker. Judging from the energy aura alone, both demons were at the peak of the legendary level, and seemed to be evenly matched. But judging from the expressions of the two demons, the original lord Duke Dracula looked calm, while the Scythe Demon, as the challenger, looked solemn.
At this time, Illidan did not pay attention to the Scythe Demon. He felt a familiar yet unfamiliar fluctuation on Duke Dracula's body. It seemed that he had seen similar fluctuations somewhere before, but he could not remember it.
After a long confrontation, the Scythe Demon could not help but attack first. Two sickle-like arms spread out beside him, and the Scythe Demon rushed directly towards Duke Dracula. However, this extremely simple offensive made the demons watching, except Illidan, unable to see clearly, because the speed of the Scythe Demon was too fast.
As a demon species with a small number in the demon world, the sickle demon has always been famous for its speed. With its extremely fast movement speed and its two naturally sharp sickle arms, it often cuts its opponent in half just by passing by.
And the sickle demons that have reached the legendary level and above are called soul harvesters. Their sickle arms contain mysterious and powerful abilities that can directly act on the enemy's soul when attacking the enemy, causing extremely heavy mental damage.
This Scythe Demon, which can be called a soul reaper, relies on its extremely fast speed to cut Duke Dracula directly with its sickle. Even if it can't cut him in two, as long as it cuts a wound slightly, it can cause great mental trauma to Duke Dracula.
However, although the Scythe Demon is fast, it is not as fast as the Bat Wing Demon. In addition to liking to eat blood, the Bat Wing Demon is a demon species with only super fast speed. After all, the pair of huge bat-like wings behind them are not for show.
Although Duke Dracula's current form does not show wings, his speed is still not comparable to that of the Scythe Demon on the opposite side. With a slight dodge, the Scythe Demon, whose attack trajectory is straight, rushed directly past Duke Dracula, but failed to cause any harm to Duke Dracula.
The Scythe Demon realized that his sickle arm did not have the slightest touch of cutting into his body, and was startled. He quickly turned around and looked at Duke Dracula vigilantly.
But Duke Dracula did not attack behind him when he could not control his strength and charged too far. He was still calm and composed.
Looking at the Scythe Demon's vigilant but warlike eyes, Duke Dracula spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Give up, you are not my opponent. Fighting and killing is really boring. Why are all demons like this? Can't you calm down and strengthen your strength? Only when you are strong enough can you avoid the fate of death. Or, throw yourself into the arms of death like me."
Even the Scythe Demon opposite him did not hear the last words of Duke Dracula, but Illidan in the demon group heard it. Throw yourself into the arms of death? What does this mean? The weird feeling in Illidan's heart became much stronger.
The Scythe Demon was completely unmoved by Duke Dracula's persuasive words, but crossed his arms and gave up the attack again.
This time, he did not rush forward to attack with his body as before, but launched a long-range offensive. This choice was wise. His speed, which he was usually proud of, was not as fast as Duke Dracula. There was still a slight chance of hitting Duke Dracula with a long-range attack.
A black light quickly emerged from the crossed sickle arms of the Scythe Demon, and then an "X"-shaped black energy slash flew towards Duke Dracula.
This was a powerful attack skill that the Scythe Demon possessed as a soul harvester, the Soul Cross Cut. The seemingly ordinary X-shaped energy slash was actually a manifestation of the Scythe Demon's innate ability, which could identify a soul and track it, and directly attack the spirit.
