Aberrant Demon

Otherworldly demons.

The real culprit that led to the apocalypse.

Each of these demons possesses extremely terrifying abilities.

Even Formal Knight must form small teams and plan carefully before they can carry out a raid.

If the remains of the demons can be brought back to the Holy City, a great reward will be given.

It's not just because the Otherworldly Demon was killed, but also because the Demon's remains themselves have great research value... allowing humanity to gain a deeper understanding of the Higher Lifeforms that currently occupy the world.

[The Fallen Beck] was once eliminated in a secret Underground Area by Han Dong in cooperation with Knight Veno.

However, he was a possessed by a demon. Since the ritual had just been completed and the demon had descended upon Beck through the ritual, his abilities were somewhat limited.

Therefore, it can only unleash five-tenths of its power and cannot be considered a true demon.

current.

The person who approached Han Dong and Demps was the mastermind behind the Secret Stone Incident.

This is precisely Han Dong wanted to come into contact with and formally understand through this incident—the true meaning of the "Otherworldly Demon."

The blow that struck Demps from the side was a ' Stone Fist '.

Just a punch to the side.

He easily broke through the Magic Shield formed by Demps's necklace, magician's robe, and his own Pathway.

Demps, who had landed more than ten meters away, was twitching slightly, with blood constantly flowing from his mouth.

The punch that struck his waist and abdomen seemed to have completely shattered one of his kidneys and crushed his lower ribs.

What's even more terrifying is that the area struck didn't just leave a simple fist mark.

Instead, it was a ring of tiny pebbles.

fortunately.

Demps wore a special type of close-fitting clothing that prevented the sharp-toothed pebbles from biting through her body and invading her body; otherwise, she would have been in critical condition or even died in a short period of time.

However... Demps is currently in a condition where he cannot fight.

"This is... a barrier?"

These walls, which were smashed and rebuilt, formed a closed barrier due to the appearance of the terrifying face.

The residential area inside was isolated separately.

This is also the root cause of the malfunction of the communication array embedded in the Clockwork Device...

At the same time.

The Knight Order responsible for patrolling and reconnaissance in the area received a unified order from 'higher-ups' to be transferred away from the current Slums for reasons beyond their control.

Han Dong stared at the barrier and muttered to himself.

"Although the Stone Wall Barrier completely seals this place off... isn't it a bit too daring to just release the barrier directly like this? After all, there have been a lot of knights patrolling and investigating the Slums during this time."

With just a little attention, the knight will surely discover the strange barrier here.

... Or has someone secretly isolated the Knight Order from this area?

The moment Han Dong saw the barrier, his brain performed a super-fast calculation, deducing some unfavorable information.

However, the most important thing right now is how to deal with the [Otherworldly Demons] that have appeared behind us.

It's obvious.

It was after Han Dong and Demps learned about the 'cement' information that they were directly targeted by the other party... but they never expected that the mastermind behind it would appear so quickly and directly.

Han Dong turned his head.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, when she looked directly at the demon, cold sweat immediately soaked her back clothes completely.

Of these factors, atmospheric pressure accounts for half of the influencing factors.

The other half is the direct visual impact brought about by 'partial appearance'.

First Year of the "Secret Stone User's " body was still covered by a robe.

Two dark arms covered with stone carvings hung limply in front of him.

In addition to the two main arms, more than ten similar stone arms grow on its back.

What hit Demps just now was only one of his arms.

Clearly, these stone-type creatures outside the city are more inclined towards melee combat, possessing formidable physical defense, magical resistance, and strength attributes.

Staring at this form of the alien demon, Han Dong pondered:

"Speaking of which, these attributes are really suitable for [Cas]... But isn't this too much pressure? Is this what a true Otherworldly Demon is like?"

The Lesser Demon Eye on its forehead serves as a detector.

Through the dark hood of the "Secret Stone User".

You can vaguely see a "secret Stone Face" made of countless small pebbles stuck together.

The pebbles are stuck together by an inner layer of red flesh.

Therefore, red fleshy strands floated constantly between the cracks in the Stone Face, sometimes even floating in the air like tentacles.

and.

These round pebbles that make up the face also have a faint crack on their surface.

When necessary, the crack will open to reveal the eyeball inside...

Such a "face" is enough to terrify an Ordinary Knight and even cause him to fall into a state of mental depravity.

Faced with such a figure who required the Knights Squad to confront head-on, Han Dong dared not be careless in the slightest.

"An elder-level existence... Hahaha!"

Despite having evolved into a "Two-Headed Crow Person" within Han Dong's body, Duoze Crow remained incredibly cowardly.

However, Han Dong will not use his Crow Person Form... Even if the opponent's barrier isolates the inside from the outside, there is still a possibility that the news will leak out.

Once the information about the integration with the Ya people gets out, even Mr. Black and White will likely find it difficult to clear Han Dong's name.

"You... seem to be more different from others."

A deep, trembling sound emanated from the gaps in the Stone Face beneath the hood; such a sound would be extremely deadly to an ordinary person.

The "Secret Stone User" was focused on the eye on Han Dong's forehead.

Immediately following.

The demon's body began to move, rushing towards Han Dong.

However, just as he took his first step forward, the concrete ground beneath his feet sank down, turning into a sand pit.

"Hmm? Sand..." The alien demon turned its head slightly, very curious about the yellow sand flowing like a vortex on the ground.

current.

Han Dong knelt on one knee.

With your sleeves rolled up to fully expose your left arm, spread your palms out and support yourself with your five fingers on the ground.

A kind of Dark Magic script from Ancient Egypt flickered faintly on the surface of his left arm.

By directly contacting the ground, the cement floor is rapidly turned into sand.

[Sand Seal]

About one-sixth of the energy inside Han Dong's skull was instantly extracted.

In a short time.

The ground where the alien demon stood was completely sanded and transformed into a flowing sand material... Under Han Dong's control, a large amount of yellow sand rose up and covered the alien demon's body.

In a short time, a layer of Yellow Sand Coffin with the mark of a scarab beetle on its surface, completely imprisoning the demon inside.

but...

Click!

The high-density "Yellow Sand Coffin" immediately developed cracks the next second.

Immediately following, a long, gray, stone-like leg stepped directly out of the yellow sand.

The seal on the coffin then collapsed.

They continued to press towards Han Dong.

A trembling voice came from beneath the hood. "Sha... Interesting. My name is [Adelaide. Stonecrush]. It's a pleasure to meet you."
