Chapter 1654 Fierce Battle and the "King of Demons"

The scarlet light burst out from the body, and the scarlet light erupting from the night watchman continued to tear the wound. The [Moonlight Great Sword] took shape inside his body, and the red moonlight sword with unique attack characteristics on flesh and blood was attached to the [Night Watchman] , and then the sword cut through the flesh and slashed towards the left chest where the heart was.

With a soft bang, the man in front of him disappeared in front of Xia De's eyes. Xia De swung his sword and turned back without hesitation, because he was already proficient in this posture, coupled with the guidance of Sister Divelin, this can be called Above all is the true knight sword skill——

when!
The [Night Watchman] with the power of the red moon collided with a transparent long sword, sparks, whirlwinds, and crimson moon debris splashed everywhere, but the invisible long sword held by the strange ring warlock did not break:
"A sage-level long sword? Why do guys with spatial mobility like to attack from behind?"

Xia De murmured in his heart that he used the [Moonlight Great Sword] more to cover up the runes on the [Night Watchman] and prevent the sword from being recognized.

The right foot stepped on the ground [Spatial Stability Halo] unfolded, while the left hand without a sword threw out the [Light of Imprisonment].It's just that this shot missed, and the transparent long sword shattered the [Light of Imprisonment] released by Xia De at close range.When Xia De tried to throw the [Moonlight Wheel] at close range, the seriously injured six-ring warlock finally said in a panic:
"Wait a minute, I surrender!"

In order to show his sincerity, he no longer wrestled with Xia De with the sword, but took a step back, and the long sword in his hand also appeared in reality.It looked like a steel sword, slightly shorter than the 【Night Watchman】.Seeing that Xia De didn't make any more moves, he endured the pain in his chest piercing through the flesh and blood in the wound, and said to Xia De:
"You can kill me, but you don't want to attract the church, and we don't want to just use the language of sublimation. That relic, in the hands of the church, is definitely not what St. Byrence wants to see. Let me go , I will immediately stay away from Tobesk.”

He spoke with a northern de Larion accent, like the dialect of Coldwater Harbor.

"Who else is your companion, and, life money."

"There are three of us in total. I am in charge of transferring out the guard in one compartment, and the other two, one on the fifth ring road and one on the seventh ring road, are in charge of blocking the way in front. We met in the New World. The one on the seventh ring road is very powerful, and the one on the fifth ring road is very powerful. Unique thaumaturgy. Besides us, there should be a group of people who want to snatch the coffin, but I don’t know them. As for the money to buy your life, you can’t give this sword to you, so let me give you this.”

He put a fist-sized ore on the ground, and there were golden traces on the black ore surface:

"Adamantine ore. Stop haggling with me. I want to treat my wounds. If you don't agree, I'll use thaumaturgy to attract the church's attention. Now it's not about what you want, it's about what I have. What."

He reluctantly said that the light on his left hand healed himself, but the wound torn by the [Night Watchman] combined with the Moonlight Greatsword was not easy to heal.

As for the piece of fine gold ore, although it looks huge, it is raw ore. After smelting and purification, the remaining fine gold will not exceed the volume of half a thumb. The mountain copper obtained here is completely incomparable.

"Since you see the situation so clearly, why do you still come to rob?"

Xia De asked again.

"I really don't have time to talk to you. Isn't it all for going further? There is no reason, do you agree with me to leave?"

The tone of the injured man, as if he was threatening Xia De.But Xia De also saw that he was really dying, and Xia De also had no time to waste here:
"Tell me about your sword, and let's go."

"The sage-level relic [Sword of the Wind King], a long sword blessed by the ancient wind element giant spirit and the old god in charge of the power of the four elements. It is divided into tangible form and intangible form, and different forms have different characteristics. Oh, you go Check it out, it's not hard to find information."

As he spoke, he stepped back quickly, seeing that Xia De did not object, he jumped directly downstairs.After leaving the area covered by the [Spatial Stability Halo], he disappeared into the air.

"[Sword of the Wind King], isn't it only those who have the spirit of chivalry can hold it?"

Thinking in his heart, Xia De bent down to pick up the piece of ore, and put it away after confirming that there was no problem.He jumped into the air suddenly, and then chased in the direction of the carriage in the night fog.

While Xia De solved the trouble, Dr. Schneider and his party, who also met the strange ring warlock, had almost ended the battle.

When Xia De jumped from the roof of the house facing the street, he didn't see the five-ring warlock, only the middle-aged woman with the seven-ring life ring floating behind her was still fighting the doctor.Priest Augustus sat still on the driver's seat of the carriage parked diagonally on the street, while Dorothy hid in the carriage to take care of the coffin.

Seeing Xia De's return, Dr. Schneider, who had already gained the upper hand, had his eyes lit up red. With the corner of the ring of life behind him, the profane 【Destruction】 and the enlightenment 【Lava】 emitted light at the same time.

As a result, the red scorching rays that swept out from the doctor's eyes swept forward, melting the silver angel wing shield that had been resisting attacks for her in front of the strange ring magician of the same level as him.

The shield is very beautiful, with a crystal light in the night fog, even if it is blown to pieces, the scattered light spots are still very beautiful.

The woman backed up again and again with a muffled grunt, and then she no longer cared about fighting back. The blasphemy-[Shadow] spirit rune on the life ring flashed with aura, and she transformed herself into five identical clones. One rushed towards Dr. Schneider, and the other turned to face Xia. De, the remaining three rushed to the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street.

"Thunder Gun!"

"Thunder Gun!"

The figure rushing towards Xia De actually used the same thaumaturgy at the same time as Xia De.The dazzling thunderbolts thrown from both hands collided in the middle of the street, and because of the same thaumaturgic nature, the striking thunderbolts actually stalemate together to form a strange arc of light. If the crackling thunderbolts were not blocked by the silence spell , can probably be heard throughout the factory area.

hum~
Behind the stalemate Thunder Gun, the vertically rotating moonlight wheel separated Thunder, and neatly cut the figure behind Thunder's light into two pieces.While the clone exploded into smoke, the silver moonlight wheel drew an arc and continued to fly upwards, splitting the other clone that fell behind into two pieces.

In the doctor's direction, the scorching rays with a slight sulfur taste from his eyes easily destroyed the clone rushing towards him, and then the giant claws emerged from the shadows, grabbing another figure who had just climbed onto the roof on the west side.

The four figures are all fake, and the last one has disappeared on the east roof.

Xia De and the doctor were not in a hurry, because before the woman had time to continue fleeing, she heard a clear voice above her head:
"Where are you going?"

The woman raised her head subconsciously, and saw the beauty in men's clothing with purple eyes riding on a flying skeleton horse in the air.And the last object that the woman's lost eyes saw was the obsidian pendulum constantly swinging in Luvia's hand.

No one touched her, but her body began to petrify from the eyes, until the whole person turned into a lifeless gray stone statue.

"Sure enough, once a fortune-teller enters the middle ring, his combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the lower ring. This curse is excellent."

The doctor who jumped onto the roof said that he was not surprised by the situation in front of him at all.

"Doctor, I'm not as good as you. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I didn't expect you to become so strong. If she hadn't been severely injured by you, the curse would not have been so easy to take effect. She was too careless. Just now and that If Wuhuan ran away from the beginning, we would definitely not chase her."

Luvia shook her head, and Xia De, who followed because she was worried, also recovered from the group of red butterflies and returned to her own body:
"Hurry up and enter the warehouse. The guy who stopped me just now left, but he said that there are only three people in his group, and this seven-ring warlock has a very powerful relic on him. I'll look for it."

"Don't be so troublesome."

Luvia in the air said, and slashed out with a palm—this move seemed familiar to Xia De, and the gray statue was blown into powder, leaving only a shield-shaped metal badge that fell to the ground with a clatter.

"It turns out that the shield is not a thaumaturgy, but a relic."

Dr. Schneider picked it up, and the group left in a hurry.

bang bang bang~
A few minutes later, the door of the remote warehouse was pushed open by Shade. Luvia entered the warehouse one step ahead of time to activate the ceremony. Priest Augustus drove the carriage and entered the warehouse from the yard. Doctor Schneider and Dorothy Check out the surroundings of this courtyard warehouse.

This is the warehouse area in the west city of Tobesk, and the entire block is a warehouse, so at night, except for the warehouse guards, no one else can be seen here.

The five people were busy activating the ceremony arranged in advance in the warehouse. For the sake of safety, Shade also used the spell [Traveler's Camp] obtained from the time adventure, and set up a camp next to the coffin in the warehouse, calling out campfire and tent.

This camp can not only suppress the relics in the coffin, but also help the five members of the group recover their physical and mental strength.Coupled with [Primary Fire]'s enhancement of the bonfire, in this case, this is simply a perfect thaumaturgy.

"This is where you learned the thaumaturgy. I thought that at least a high-level ring warlock can learn this kind of 'out of nothing' thaumaturgy that changes the area."

Priest Augustus was very surprised. The old priest had extraordinary insight and could see that this was another unique divine art.

When everything is arranged, the five of them can also take a short rest.They didn't plan to sleep tonight, and even if they were the lowest-level Augustus priests with only three rings, it wouldn't be a big problem if they didn't sleep all night.

Dr. Shad and Schneider, the highest ranking ones, climbed onto the roof, and the two of them will observe from this best vantage point tonight.Priest Augustus, Dorothy, and Luvia took turns guarding the coffin, on the one hand to prevent other situations from being close to the relic for a long time, and on the other hand to restore mental power with the bonfire in turn.

"I've known you for less than a year, right?"

On the roof, the two looked at the distant view of the city together in the fog.The warehouse is not very high, but there are no tall buildings nearby, so the view is fairly wide.Looking at such a night scene, Bill Schneider somehow thought of that afternoon in the midsummer of last year.

"Yes, doctor, it's been less than a year since the silver moon shone in midsummer last year."

"It's been a long year, and you've changed a lot."

The doctor looked at Xia De carefully:
"It's hard to imagine that you were just an ordinary person last summer."

"People change."

Xia De shook his head:

"Nothing stays the same, I'm just getting faster. Have you noticed that we've all changed. Doctor, you're a lot more cheerful than you were last summer, and Dorothy has become a well-known writer in the Old World." Well, although Cleric Augustus doesn’t seem to have changed, he’s actually in a much better mood, and Luvia, the most difficult fortune-teller to be promoted, has successfully reached the fifth ring.”

"This change is all brought about by you."

The doctor praised, but there was no smile on Xia De's face:

"I don't know whether the change I brought can really lead everyone to the best ending."

"Why, do you need me to talk to you? I'm best at this."

The doctor joked, and looked back at the low and continuous warehouse roof:

"Ring warlocks will always encounter psychological problems, and no one can avoid them. After all, the things we encounter are too different from ordinary people. You have been promoted so quickly, and psychological problems must exist. You didn't find it yourself because you have Your cat, and Louisa and Annette with you."

Although Xia De's relationship with the girls is not made public, everyone who knows him seems to know.

"There is a saying that ring warlocks should find a psychological anchor point so that they will not 'fly away' and lose control during the promotion process of their life form. This anchor point can be a relative, an item, or A pet can be a responsibility, it can be a mission"

He paused, apparently thinking of himself:

"But that's for ordinary human ring warlocks, you are not ordinary, everyone knows."

"Is there a psychological problem with me?"

Xia De thought for a while, then nodded:

"So what advice can you give me? See you for therapy regularly?"

"No, no, it's not that complicated. You just need to take regular breaks between intense life or tasks, and live from the perspective of ordinary people. This kind of problem can be easily solved."

This is what Xia De has been doing all along. Every time he solves the matter of a selected person, he will rest for half a month to a month.This time he took a longer break due to illness.

"I understand."

He also sighed at the foggy night. The stranger didn't really want to talk about his own problems, so he changed the subject:
"Doctor, about the former leaders of our group, Mr. Shelf Tim and Miss Shana Aya, where did their souls go? When are you going to tell me all of them?"

"Aren't you talking about your business? How did you change the subject so quickly?"

The doctor asked in surprise, but still answered Xia De:

"I know you want to help me wait for us to have ten rings, no, eleven rings. According to the current progress and the frequency of your encounters with demons, I don't think it will take a year. But now I can tell you some information. It's something to do with 'King of Demons'. What are you laughing at?"

He asked again in surprise, Xia De tried hard to normalize his expression:

"The king of demons? This kind of title seems to only appear in knight novels."

Hearing this, the doctor also laughed:

"That's right, in fact, it can be called 'the original demon', 'the oldest demon', or 'the devil of great sin'. It is rumored that the first recorded evil spirit is the oldest evil, the original demon .”

"From the third era?"

The doctor stood on the roof with his hands behind his back and shook his head lightly:

"I want to correct a common-sense mistake of yours: Although evil spirits and demons ravaged the world in the third era and caused an impact that cannot be erased even today, in fact, they already existed in ancient times , It’s just that it hadn’t reached the level of threatening the world at that time. The first demon probably came from the first era, that’s where the story of the world begins.”

The doctor sighed, Xia De nodded understandingly.

This is like although the Fifth Era is called the "Era of the Witch", witches were not actually born in the Fifth Era.Since the earliest ages, there have been those magical ladies.

When talking about the "first demon", Xia De suddenly thought of those demon stories told by his friend, demon scholar Mr. Sean Asmond.In the demonologist's demon stories, the unknown demon seems to be the first evil spirit demon.

"I don't know if it is possible to meet Mr. Asmond in Green Lake. This time, what kind of encounter is it?"

Realizing that he didn't seem to have talked to anyone about Shaun Asmond, Shad wanted to talk to Dr. Schneider about the demonologist.Only at this moment, he suddenly noticed a change in the surrounding scene.The warehouse district of Tobesk under the night fog became blurred, and soon turned into an endless desert under the moonlit night.

The dry air was packed with sand and hit the faces of the two of them. The roof of the warehouse was still under their feet, but the yard of the surrounding warehouse was gone.

"Luvia."

Xia De yelled, and the voice of Miss Fortune Teller immediately sounded in the warehouse:
"I'm here, and I'm dealing with the coffin now. But the priest and Dorothy don't seem to be affected, and I can't see them anymore."

"We can't see them from the roof, we can only see the sand. Then the doctor and I will deal with the next monster. Don't come out, okay, you can't come out."

It was expected that the power of the relic would leak again, so Shade and Dr. Schneider were not very surprised.

The two stood on the roof of the warehouse standing in the vast desert, looking at the yellow sand all over the sky and the khaki storm that almost connected the sky and the earth in the distance.The storm has no tendency to move this way, otherwise Xia De would have doubted whether this is the desert during the seven-day trip.
