The Killer Who Controlled Demon Beasts

Seeing Ram suddenly open her eyes, Rem exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Fang Li also looked at Ram, his eyes full of questions.

Under these circumstances, Ram only said this one sentence.

"We found the puppy."

One sentence made both Fang Li and Rem raise their heads.

Meanwhile, Ram began to take action.

"This way."

After saying that, Ram walked away decisively in one direction, without waiting for Fang Li and Rem.

That was exactly the same way Fang Li had just ignored the twin sisters and crossed the barrier to enter the forest.

Rem couldn't help but laugh.

"Indeed, my sister looks Lord Fang Li."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li helplessly shrugged and, together with Rem, caught up with Ram.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Along the way, one after another, Demon Beast emerged from the surrounding bushes like dogs smelling blood, rushing towards the group.

However, this time, Fang Li didn't even need to lift a finger.

"El-Fura!"

A sudden gust of wind expanded from the leader, Ram, transforming into sharp, invisible blades that swept through the air and struck forward.

"Al -Shuma!"

A chill emanated from Rem at the rear, causing the moisture in the air to condense into sharp icicles that shot out like arrows.

"Pfft—!"

An invisible wind blade severed the Demon Beast's head, drawing blood.

"Pfft—!"

Sharp icicles pierced the Demon Beast's body, pinning it to the ground.

This is the magic of Rem and Ram.

Ram is skilled in wind magic and uses the Kamaitachi as her primary means of attack.

Rem is skilled in fire magic and uses ice as her primary means of attack.

In addition, Rem is skilled in close combat, while Ram, due to the horn, cannot move for long periods of time and therefore loses the ability to engage in close combat.

However, neither Rem nor Ram displayed their close-combat skills.

There is no other reason.

Compared to close combat, no one here can truly defeat that terrifyingly lethal Killer Demon.

"Pfft—!"

Amidst the sounds of slashing, the Demon Beast that had survived the wind blades and ice pillars and broken through the encirclement was killed on the spot by a cold blade of light just as it approached the effective attack range.

The three of them continued to break through the attacking Demon Beast in this way until they finally arrived at an open space.

Ram pointed to the open space and said, "That's it."

"Yes." Rem nodded as well, saying, "Rem can smell it too."

So, Fang Li raised his head and looked ahead.

In the vast open space, a harmless little dog was lying on a rock, seemingly sunbathing.

Looking at the puppy, Rem said in a low voice as if she were trying to suppress all her emotions, "That's the puppy that bit Rem earlier."

"Is that it?" Ram's eyes sharpened, but he didn't lose his composure. He asked, "Then where is the Curse Arts who's controlling it?"

"Who knows?" Fang Li smiled slightly and said, "Why don't we go up and ask it?"

With that, Fang Li actually crossed the bushes and entered the open space.

Rem and Ram exchanged a glance, then seemed to abandon rational thought, one with a wry smile of admiration, the other with a helpless sigh, and followed Fang Li.

"Rustle..."

Fang Li and his group parted the bushes and entered the open space.

On the rock, the little Demon Dog, which was sunbathing, twitched its adorable ears slightly and finally opened its eyes, gazing at Fang Li, Rem, and Ram.

Immediately afterwards, the puppy- Demon Beast tensed up, just like an ordinary puppy that had been provoked, and bared its teeth at Fang Li, looking like it was about to intimidate them.

Unfortunately, the scene of that harmless little dog baring its teeth and showing its mouth only makes it look cute no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, even Rem and Ram couldn't help but start to have doubts.

"Is this puppy really Demon Beast capable of casting Curse Arts?"

This question was not answered immediately.

Fang Li glanced at the cute little dog that was striking a threatening pose, and then suddenly spoke up.

"Alright, stop hiding and come out now."

One sentence made both Rem and Ram pause slightly.

Not understanding Rem and Ram, Fang Li continued speaking as if talking to himself.

"Don't think I don't know you're nearby just because you don't make a sound. Even if Ram's Thousand Mile Eye doesn't see you and Rem's sense of smell doesn't detect you, I still know you're here."

So, come out.

"—'Beast Tamer '."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air suddenly became tense.

Rem and Ram seemed to finally understand the current situation, and both fell silent, but began to gather magic power imperceptibly.

The dog, which had been striking a threatening pose on the rock, suddenly fell silent as if a button had been pressed.

The next moment, in one of the corners around the open space, the grass began to sway once again.

A person walked out of there.

A child.

She looks only about ten years old, a very young girl.

The little girl stared intently at Fang Li and whispered these words.

"You know me?"

Upon hearing the question, Fang Li smiled faintly.

"Meli, a professional assassin, possesses the ability to break the horns of Demon Beast, using this as leverage to gain control over them and thus manipulate Demon Beast. Hence her nickname, ' Beast Tamer.' Am I right?"

Fang Li's words caused the little girl, called Meli, to fall silent for a moment before she looked up at Fang Li and said, "So that's how it is. You're the terrible man Elsa mentioned."

"That really does bring up a nostalgic name," Fang Li asked with interest. "What? Did that ' Gut Slicer ' mention me to you?"

"Because we're from the same assassin organization." Meli didn't hide anything, saying in an innocent tone, "When we came here, Elsa told me that, putting aside everyone else, if we really wanted to achieve our goal, we had to kill you first."

"Unfortunately, I've been staying in the manor the whole time, so you had to target Rem, right?" Fang Li looked at Meli and said somewhat casually, "Don't you think you were being too hasty?"

"But actually, I did lure you out, didn't I?" Meli tilted her head and said in a harmless voice.

"And in this forest, I'm invincible, aren't I?"

As Meli finished speaking, countless scarlet eyes began to light up in the surrounding grass.
