Chapter 204 Demon

"Strange, why are there so many demons in the city? The battle below is so fierce, shouldn't they focus their main energy on those demons? Why are there still demons wandering in the city?"

In the previous exploration process, Noshier relied on his ability to fly and teleport to the edge of the city. He took off and observed Avernus below for a while, wanting to see what the real face of hell looked like.

Then he saw the eight huge chains on the edge of the city, and the huge capstans under each chain. The demons built magnificent fortresses around those capstans.

On the plain paved with barren rocks and bones, a legion composed of thousands of hedgehog demons and beard demons lined up to fight against the demon tide that continued to rush from the distant plains. Most of them were original demons, cowardly demons, and humanoid brezu demons with goat horns, and a small number of gorilla-like bagura demons.

In the air, the flying troops composed of thorn demons and small demons stopped the humanoid vulture-like Flo demons, not allowing these demons any chance to fly into Eltoril.

The demons were doing their best to protect their property. The two sides were crushing each other like millstones. The demons' slingshots kept throwing huge flints, grinding bloody paths in the demon tide, but no demon took a step back. Even though the demons were well-trained, backed by the fortress, and had a large number of city defense supplies, they began to suffer endless damage under such a desperate offensive.

Such a cruel scene was only a small part of the battlefield that Noshiel saw. In the distance, the demons were roaring like a tsunami, and some small defense sites would be submerged almost instantly. In a war of this level, any party would definitely put all its troops into it, so Noshiel wondered why there were so many demons gathered in the city?

Noshiel didn't know, but as long as the demons below could still stop the torrent of demons and prevent them from flying to the city, he could ignore other problems.

Noshier put away the marked map and said hello to Scar who was on guard at the corner. They explored here for about ten minutes. They had found the specific positions of all the demons on the entire street nearby. They preliminarily concluded that the threat here was minimal. Now they could go back to discuss the next move and take the others away.

"It's time to go back, Scar."

"... Yeah."

"Your face doesn't look right. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm fine, but I'm uneasy, Noshier. We have been searching here for more than ten minutes, but I haven't seen a single living person on this entire street."

Noshier's eyes froze when he heard this. Indeed, except for some human corpses killed by collapsed buildings, they didn't see any living humans. So where did all the humans in this city go? Did they hide? Or have they all been caught by these demons?

Noshier was more inclined to the former. The devils now obviously didn't have time to gather the humans of an entire city. Maybe they were all hiding in their basements to avoid the devils wandering on the streets, or they were gathered by the city guards and hell knights and taken to the Supreme Hall.

If they were taken to the Supreme Hall, it would mean safety. After all, the Supreme Hall of each city was equivalent to a small fortress, protected by thick walls. It was the last and most tenacious place of resistance in each city. If they were still hiding in the basement of the house, there was no need to worry too much for the time being.

"Don't worry about it, Scar, they should be hiding. After all, the city is not safe now, and the citizens will definitely stay at home if they can."

"You don't have to worry about what they will do if they have no food or water hiding in the house. After all, Eltoril is a big city with abundant resources. The food reserves in this city should be able to meet the survival needs of the people who are still alive for at least several months."

Noshier's words were not made up to comfort Scar. For those who can live in the city and own properties, it is common sense for every Faerun person to store enough food in their basements.

After all, this ghost place is full of natural disasters and man-made disasters. If you don't store food and water with a long shelf life, you will definitely not survive any accident. In this environment, people all over the world have developed the good habit of storing food, and looking at the current situation, aren't the past preparations being used?

Of course, Noshir couldn't guarantee that every household had enough reserves, but at least most people should be fine. After all, in the original story, although many people died in the city, there were still many people who survived.

And in the original story, several months had passed when they returned to the main material plane, and now it has only been about half a month since the fall of the city, which can allow so many people to survive for several months and not survive this short period of time.

"You're right, I seem to be a little worried,... Let's go back."

Noshir saw that Scar was still a little worried, but he forced himself not to think too much. He didn't want this worry to affect his actions, so the two immediately prepared to set off to return.

They were now at the end of Knight Avenue. They were going back to the area where they first landed, and then called others to leave the area together.

However, before the two had gone far, Noshier suddenly noticed that something had rushed into his 500-meter perception circle from the sky. He immediately looked up to the upper right, and a huge, human-shaped vulture-like Flo Demon had already discovered the two and launched a dive attack on them!

"Be careful above! Get out of the way!"

"Ah!!!!"

The Flo Demon opened its still bleeding beak, and then let out a shrill and terrifying scream. The invisible sound waves instantly plowed a gray line on the dilapidated street, but did not hit Noshier and Scar who had dodged in advance, but instead stirred up smoke and dust to cover their whereabouts.

This made Flomo howl in dissatisfaction, and then spread its wide wings and flapped them. The poisonous spore cloud mixed with the strong wind of the wings swept over, blowing away the smoke and dust while bringing a more terrifying attack!

But what surprised Flomo was that after the smoke and dust dissipated, he did not see the traces of the two humans. Only the pale green poisonous spores remained in the original place, which made it shake its vulture head in confusion, and then howled angrily again.

"Look at this, idiot!"

The two people who were hiding with the help of the surrounding ruins suddenly rushed out of the pile of stones. Scar, who was running in front, suddenly turned back to face Noshir, then suddenly squatted down, used his shoulder to support the shield and tilted it into a slope, and threw the war hammer in his left hand into the air.

Noshir immediately stepped on the shield, flapped his wings behind him and leaped suddenly. Scar under his feet also exerted force at the same time. The superposition of the two forces made him instantly soar to a height of more than ten meters. Then he swung the activation rope in his left hand, wrapped one end of the rope around the hammer of the Record of Light and pulled it hard. The length of the rope made up for the lack of attack distance, and the hammer also brought the power of light and hit the right wing of the Flo Demon who had begun to dodge but did not completely dodge.

The wings suffered such a fierce attack that its originally stable flying posture was disrupted. This big bird with a wingspan of 18 feet (six meters) instantly screamed and fell down. Noshir immediately swung his wings in the air to adjust his flying posture. At the same time, he took off an axe from his waist with his right hand and threw it at the Flo Demon who was trying to fly again.

The flying axe hit its body accurately, which made his last effort fail. The hammer on the rope was loosened when he launched the first attack, and fell to the ground and was caught by Scar. Scar on the ground looked at the demon in front of him and wanted to bite him. He immediately slapped its face with the shield in his right hand, and then stepped on its neck with his right foot to fix its body. He immediately raised the war hammer in his left hand, and hit its chest with a three-ring holy slash, which made it dented. This blow also made it die completely.

In just a dozen seconds, this large demon with a biological level of 14 died under the cooperation of Noshir and Scar!
