Campaign Against the Aberrant Demon
These rock-type Wild Monster have very distinct characteristics.
It possesses excellent physical defense and considerable strength... It would definitely be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.
but...
During group battles.
Boom! A visible shockwave rippled outwards.
Pebbles flew everywhere.
With fiery red hair, Winry held Blacksmith Hammer... and with just one blow, she completely shattered a gargoyle that was in a "fully petrified state" and had full defense.
"This girl..."
Everyone could clearly feel the shockwaves that traveled from the point of impact.
Knight Veno looked quite surprised... She had never heard of such terrifying pure power before.
Mia, who is also a girl, also performed exceptionally well.
The Demon Blade's special attribute allows it to ignore a certain amount of armor and deal equal damage to any form of life form.
Combined with the swordsmanship she had honed over the past six months, Mia could deal with all sorts of stone Wild Monster with the ease of slicing vegetables.
The others performed just as well.
If you look closely, you'll notice that Han Dong, Demps, and Cas were deliberately holding back when dealing with these Wild Monster... intentionally conserving their strength to deal with the demons lurking in the shadows.
"Haven't you found it yet?" Knight Veno urged.
Han Dong pressed his palm against an approaching petrified creature, and the target turned into a pile of yellow sand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This stone demon has a very special property; it can prevent various stones from emitting a polluting aura... When it doesn't move, it's very difficult for me to detect the demon's true form."
"We'll have to kill all these little creatures and then slowly search for more."
Vino leaped into the air, clenching the light shield in her left hand into a fist gauntlet.
A heavy punch slammed into the Stone Giant's face, sending it flying more than ten meters away. As the Stone Giant's body fell, it also crushed two civilians who were already deeply petrified.
They didn't give the Stone Giant a chance to stand up again.
Knight Veno chanted some divine scripture and threw the flail in her right hand as it emitted a light.
The flail flying through the air Transform Into into a large, sacred hammer.
Boom!
A bright light erupted from the bombardment site, and a large number of broken stones were scattered everywhere.
The Stone Giant was forcibly killed by the Knight Veno.
With a flick of the right hand.
Buzz!
The flail that fell into the pit immediately sensed its master and quickly flew back into Knight Veno's hand.
It has to be said, that was a really cool move... It allowed her, as a knight, to save some face among this group of genius Knight-Errant.
With the flail in hand, many more civilians who had been controlled flocked in.
"Hmm? These little bastards really don't know what's good for them..."
Just as Knight Veno was preparing to use a relatively effortless ordinary sweeping attack to eliminate the surrounding civilians in one go.
Han Dong's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted:
"Sister Wino! There's a commoner acting strangely..."
Vino, who had collaborated with Han Dong many times, immediately believed his words.
He decisively cast the highest level of protective blessing on himself, held the light shield in front of him, and switched to using shield bash to deal with the civilians.
Boom!
A civilian, hooded and shielded, blocked an incoming beam of light with one hand.
They overwhelmed Knight Veno in terms of strength.
"Those hateful eyes..." came a voice full of 'hatred' from under the hood.
Immediately afterwards, he punched the surface of the light shield.
A closer look reveals that this punch is actually the result of more than ten overlapping blows from Stone Fist.
Click!
The light shield was forcibly shattered, turning into small specks of light that were collected into the Sacred Artifact of Light on Vino's wrist.
The blood and qi in my body are churning, causing severe pain in my wrist Joints.
She was blasted away... However, just before landing, Vino immediately adjusted her center of gravity and landed steadily on the ground.
"This power is stronger than several of the [Otherworldly Demons] I encountered outside the city, and its stone body also guarantees stronger defense... This is troublesome."
"Try to stall until the knight reinforcements arrive, otherwise it will be difficult for me and these Knight-Errant to break through the outer shell of this demon."
Vino was well aware of her personality tendencies.
An all-around knight, while not weak in attack, is not particularly outstanding either... It's difficult to inflict deep damage on a stone demon with such extraordinary defense.
Gaa!
Just then.
A crow flew into the Market District and landed on the stone wall.
To others, it was just the simple cawing of a crow.
However, Han Dong was certain that he understood the meaning conveyed through Mr. Black and White's telepathic transmission:
"Use your abilities to the fullest, I will completely isolate the market, and no one will know what really happened inside... This investigation was swift and well done! It's just a pity that we couldn't lure out the guy hiding behind it all."
Come back and see me after you've finished this.
You and Demps Martin of the library are definitely being watched by the guy behind this.
"Good!"
With Mr. Black and White's guarantee, Han Dong no longer needed to worry about anything.
"Cowardly crow... Are you ready? It's time to put your six months of training to use."
"Don't be too reckless when you're bringing... bringing people along."
Let the main attack be handled by this female knight; we can launch a sneak attack from the shadows. She's practically an elder, after all.
If we're not careful, we might get crushed.
"You're Two-Headed Crow Person now, why are you being so cowardly?"
"It's not that I'm cowardly, I'm just worried about your safety... I don't care if I die (trembling voice)."
While talking to Duoze Crow, Han Dong also gave Demps a look, indicating that he could use his full abilities and that Mr. Black and White would handle everything.
"Mia, Winry... there are very few small creatures left on the outskirts, so I'll leave them to you to handle! We'll deal with the Otherworldly Demons."
"Good!"
Mia unleashed her full Spider Domain, using her webs to entangle as many enemies as possible.
Winry then uses a completely new technique: slamming her hammer into the ground alters the terrain.
The two girls worked together to keep the monsters at bay.
"Demps, your attack should be able to reach the inner essence of this demon... Let us draw its attention first, and you find an opportunity to strike from the shadows."
I will do my best to create the best opportunity for you to make a move.
"OK."
Demps gently pushed up his monocle, temporarily fading from everyone's sight.
On the other end.
Knight Veno unleashed a powerful aura of holy flames, clashing head-on with the demon.
at the same time.
Cas, clad in battle armor and in peak condition, also joined the fray.
With the blessing of various powers, Cas displayed formidable Combat Power, indirectly assisting Knight Veno in posing a significant threat to Adelaide.
However, Adelaide also revealed her true, terrifying form.
Take off the long robe.
The exposed "Stone Face" is composed of thousands of tiny Stone Eye. By Eye Contact, it can cause great mental pressure to the Eye Contact and exert a strong Visual Pollution.
At the same time, a "Stone Body" that has undergone sublimation and transformation is revealed.
Its smooth body, shimmering with dark light, gives it an indestructible appearance, and the Evil Curse engraved on its surface can block most magical damage.
The Holy Flame Flail can only leave slight burn marks on its body surface.
If we can't break through its body, the battle will just be a pointless waste of time...
Just then.
Gaa!
The cawing of crows echoed throughout the area.
A thick, eerie pollution emanated from mid-air.
The bone wings flapped.
On each of his left and right shoulders were a live raven head shoulder guard, and a dark black cloak fluttered behind him... His bright black raven eyes stared down.
For a fleeting moment, Adelaide even thought that reinforcements had arrived.
