Chapter 137 Shadow Demon
Shadow demons, a type of demon that can shuttle through shadows, are good at lurking and assassinating.
Their assassination ability is stronger than that of claw demons, but the night is their home ground, because when they sneak into the shadows during the day, the shadows with more texture will appear more abrupt.
Two meters tall, thin, with a shadow like black smoke on the body, it is impossible to see its head and face at a glance.
"Draw your sword!" As the shadow demon appeared, Taibesha ordered Gravizi and others to stop shooting.
Although they were positioned as machine gunners, Gravizi and others were wearing heavy armor.
The monsters on the battlefield had already been killed by the black-armored skeleton general.
For the existence of shadow demons that can shuttle and jump in the shadows of other creatures, compared with the scattered goblins in the fire suppression field, the threat of shadow demons is higher at this time.
Following Taibesha's instructions, Gravizi and the other four took off their machine guns.
Taking out shields and hand axes, the four already strong people instantly turned into shield guards.
They were good at cooperating with five people, and several of them also had close combat capabilities.
It was also because they were all machine gunners. If they were replaced by regular archers, there would be many rangers who were good at close combat. They might not be good at breaking through the enemy lines, but they were usually good at using knives.
The Gravizi team had high combat literacy, and the reason they came to Bear Pig Town was for Spring College.
They planned to enroll their children in school, and also planned to live a stable life.
Originally, they were preparing to apply for the assistant team of the strategy team, but there had been no decent strategy team coming to the 375 courtyard, so they continued to accept some hired tasks.
"Cousin! Clear the way!" The four Gravizis were on guard, and Taibesha's blood boiled, her eyes fixed on the shadow demon a hundred meters away.
There were many monsters fighting with the black-armored skeleton general between the two. Taibesha wanted the black-armored skeleton general to kill a piece of open space to fight with the shadow demon to prevent the shadow demon from running around with the shadows on the battlefield.
"Don't move!" Mu Hua stopped Taibesha's intention to charge.
The battlefield was in chaos, Mu Hua locked onto the breath of the shadow demon and raised the staff in his hand.
"Bone Soul!"
The evil mana ghost shot at the shadow demon.
"Stop! Human, I'm just passing by, there's no need for us to clash." The shadow demon screamed and disappeared suddenly.
At this time, everyone could clearly see that an unconventional shadow on the ground was roaming among the shadows within a dozen meters.
And the bone soul with a strange mouth was chasing, constantly changing its position in the erratic, chasing the shadow.
"Defense." Taibesha's pupils contracted, and the four people of Gravizi squatted back to back to prepare.
Shadow demons belong to the middle demons. Although their growth is relatively poor among the middle demons, their elusive racial talents make them both difficult and dangerous.
This kind of demon is very strange, but they are not invincible, especially when they turn into shadows, attacking that kind of shadow is more likely to cause fatal damage to them.
It's just that they can move quickly in the shadows within a certain range. If you are not careful, they will drill out from under your feet, tear your tendons, and cut your throat.
Shadow demons are very dangerous, especially in a chaotic battle, their ability to disrupt the situation is very strong.
Under its deliberate defense, Mu Hua's identification technique can't see its attributes, but the level of identification technique is too low, and it can't detect any interference.
To avoid accidents, Mu Hua stopped Taibesha from fighting the opponent.
Demons are not monsters. They like to talk nonsense, and the frequency of their nonsense is inversely proportional to their size. The thinner and smaller the demons look, the more they like to talk.
And the words of demons can't be believed. Mu Hua basically ignores the nonsense of passing by. Give it a chance, it will definitely cut the throats of several people without hesitation.
Mu Hua used his mental power to guide the Bone Soul to chase the Shadow Demon. The opponent found that he could not get rid of the Bone Soul for a while, so his shadow twisted rapidly, turned around, and shot towards Mu Hua.
The Bone Soul has a tracking function. If the caster focuses on guiding, this tracking effect is stronger, and it can even avoid obstacles along the way.
This Shadow Demon has no way to counteract the Bone Soul, so it can only try to kill the caster to unlock the Bone Soul.
The Shadow Demon just dodged, but Mu Hua was relieved. Compared with other monsters, the strength of the demons of the same race will also have a large span.
Other monsters can still be considered elite. Evaluating the combat power of demons has always been a headache for people, and those who specialize in identification are also important personnel in an adventure team.
I can't see the attributes of the Shadow Demon, but it can be scared by a Bone Soul and look for the caster to fight to the death. It seems that this Shadow Demon is not that strong.
"Necromancer! Stop. I'm here to hunt goblins, too. We should cooperate. I can help you clean up the scum here."
The roaming shadow demon shouted again. Although it was begging for mercy from Mu Hua, the nearby goblins ignored it and it didn't slow down at all as it rushed towards Mu Hua.
"Die!" A black-armored skeleton general shouted in a dull voice.
With heavy steps, the shadows were left behind as the black-armored skeleton general's giant sword slashed at the moving trajectory of the shadow demon.
Feeling the threat of the giant sword, the shadow demon suddenly appeared behind a big goblin as if it had drilled out of the soil.
The giant sword cut the big goblin in half, and the shadow demon stopped and rushed out quickly, avoiding the slash. The shadow flashed and merged into the shadow of another goblin nearby again, continuing to rush towards Mu Hua.
Between the shadows, the shadow demon shuttled and moved very quickly. Unless you use a large-scale attack method, it is difficult to lock them, and hunting them down often requires prediction.
The shadow demon attacked, and two black-armored skeleton generals who killed all the monsters around them chased with swords, and behind them was the erratic white bone soul.
The white bone soul is good in everything, but it is a bit fast in terms of speed.
This magic is really scary when it is surrounded by several rounds, but Mu Hua can't afford that kind of fighting method for the time being.
"Boom!" The thunderbolt shattered the dozens of goblins who tried to besiege Taibesha, while Taibesha, who raised her warhammer, stared at the shadow rushing towards Mu Hua.
At this time, the big goblins, ogres and goblin mages on the battlefield had basically been slaughtered by the black-armored skeleton general.
Gravizi waved his hand and prepared to fight with the remaining low-level goblins like dwarfs, but Taibesha raised his hand to stop him.
"Defend and wait for your cousin to deal with the shadow demon." Taibesha said coldly.
"Don't you need help? The shadow demon is very troublesome, and he even asked the summoned beast to retreat." Gravizi frowned.
At this time, Gravizi might be more nervous than Taibesha. If the shadow demon rushed towards him, he might only be able to fight with the opponent in a death battle.
"I think I know what he wants to do. What about the energy source? Even if this shadow demon can't hurt him..." Taibesha tightened the hammer in her hand, and her feet were brewing kinetic energy to stampede, with a little confusion in her tone.
At this time, the shadow demon was glad that she didn't bother Taibesha, because it was most afraid of the range attack like Thunder Shock, especially in the shadow attack state, and being caught in it would be half dead.
"Haha~ Human, you have to pay the price for your arrogance!" The shadow demon laughed strangely.
In the eyes of the shadow demon, the two black-armored skeleton generals beside Mu Hua had retreated far away, as if they didn't want it to use the shadow to move its position.
And Mu Hua stood alone on the spot with a staff in his hand, and a floating lance beside him kept adjusting the spear head, as if he wanted to predict its trajectory and aim and shoot it.
But besides it, there are more than a dozen crazy goblins who saw the opportunity and pounced on Mu Hua. Although the goblins' movements were rough, their speed was as fast as that of a monkey.
The shadow demon sneered in his heart. The lance head kept changing its position, as if it showed Mu Hua's indecision under the siege from many sides.
"Flame~! Gaga Gaga~~" The shadow demon did not continue to shuttle in the shadows. Like a shadow shark leaping out of the earth, a burst of flames shot out from its hand and instantly enveloped Mu Hua's body.
It was a very low-level imprint magic. Demons generally would not give up their own advantages to learn magic randomly, and shadow demons did not have any talent for casting spells. With the racial advantage of demons, they could only throw some low-intensity flames.
This kind of flame may be a little dangerous to ordinary people, but it does not have the ignition effect of fireball. If it burns the adventurer, it can be extinguished.
Whether it is elemental resistance or blood burst, this kind of flame can be easily blown away.
But this shadow demon didn't want to burn Mu Hua with fire. Its real purpose was to burn the undead bone shield that might exist on the necromancer.
Bone shield is not omnipotent. This magic is particularly afraid of continuous damage. When the flames reached his body, the bone shield on Mu Hua's body quickly broke layer by layer. Facing this elemental attack, the bone shield could hardly constitute any defense.
Mu Hua's summoned beast is very strong. He can also cast the Soul of Bones. The power of the Mage's Hand is not weak, but he is too young.
At least in the eyes of the shadow demon, with Mu Hua's spellcasting ability, he should not have a very strong physique.
And even if he used the staff to cast the Soul of Bones, the shadow demon also determined that Mu Hua had no magic power left.
Looking at Mu Hua who seemed to be at a loss, the shadow demon laughed wildly in his heart.
"Fear, I like to kill immature humans. Haha~" the shadow demon screamed.
But, the next moment, the shadow demon who was staring at Mu Hua seemed to find something wrong, and the face of the human necromancer seemed to have fine magic patterns.
"Bastard, I hope you can give me a shadow skill. I like your shadow." Mu Hua raised his staff slightly, with a grim smile on his face, and smashed the staff to the ground.
"Death ripples!"
The death aura spread, silent, gentle, and the death aura that corroded the soul instantly made the creatures within ten meters around Mu Hua stop as if the pause button was pressed.
The gray waves, like microwaves, swept through the bodies of the goblins and the shadow demons. The shadow demons' strange smiles stopped, and the dark green eyeballs of the goblins turned pale.
Plop~ Plop~...
The goblins that besieged Mu Hua fell to the ground one by one, some turned into dust, and some died without a trace of life.
Where the shadow demon's shadow was originally, a thin demon was lying on the ground.
"Puff!" Leaving behind a dagger and a magic stone, a few demon gold coins fell in the dust scattered by the shadow demon.
At this time, Mu Hua's clothes disappeared, and the purple light pattern on his naked upper body seemed to draw a mysterious pattern.
"Kill!" Taibesha's order came out.
The surprise in Gravizi's heart disappeared immediately. Their good combat skills made them hold their weapons tightly at the first time and kill the goblins scattered everywhere.
