The Big Drum Demon!

"What kind of structure do you think this is?"

The Starfire Knight stared at the Fog Gate in front of them, which faintly exuded the Asylum Demon. They started chattering excitedly, each one of them looking like they had encountered their area of expertise and wanted to show off through discussion.

"I remember we were going uphill just now, right?"

"I clearly remember that the demon was at the very bottom?"

"So what's the situation with this Fog Gate now?"

Teleportation portal? Elevator? Tunnel? One different guess after another came from the Starfire Knight's mouths, each one seemingly reasonable yet somehow not quite right.

"."

We could easily find the answer by simply going in and taking a look. Why are we making wild guesses here?

Todd felt that he had completely become a complainer. He had just seen such a tragic thing as the death of a knight, but now he couldn't help but complain about the behavior of the Spark Knights.

This is probably what they call "squeeze-down".

He finally understood that these guys were interested in the Zane Dungeon, and had become obsessed with it to the point that they probably used it as a safe word when engaging in Zane Dungeon.

Todd suddenly froze, his face immediately contorting with terror. What the hell had he been thinking? Who in their right mind would use words like "Ornstein," "Curse Frog," or "Dung Pie" as safe words?

I must have been assimilated by hanging out with those shady Starfire Knight!

I'm clearly a serious and proper person!

But despite his inner resistance, Todd, in order to fit in with the group and make his upcoming adventures a little easier, still followed suit and shared his speculation:

"Couldn't there be some kind of terrace or terrace overlooking monsters after you go out from here?"

Upon hearing this, the Starfire Knight were taken aback, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Todd.

What's wrong? Are you scared by my incredibly reasonable deduction?

Just as Todd was about to get cocky, everyone waved their hands in unison.

"No, no, no, that design is too ordinary. It looks so-so."

"I think it should be a more fantastical scene; your guess is too realistic."

"Todd, exploring dungeons should be more imaginative, shouldn't it? What you're doing..."

Todd had lost count of how many times he had fallen silent.

It felt like a real-world robot pilot had accidentally wandered into a super robot world. He was diligently and earnestly designing his mecha's fighting style, but then someone from the super robot world suddenly said, "Isn't that just a matter of shouting and being enthusiastic?"

Then what's the point of talking about this?!

"There's absolutely no point in guessing all this time!"

With that, he turned and stormed toward the Fog Gate, his steps so firm that he seemed to have forgotten that he was no match for the Asylum Demon. People watched as his figure slowly disappeared into the Fog Gate, and a few seconds later they heard his excited cheers from the other side.

The Starfire Knight exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued as they approached the Fog Gate, only to discover something as soon as they entered.

"Huh? It really is a balcony?"

Todd was in high spirits because his guess was right!

They were now standing above the entire Undead Asylum, on a small terrace or balcony—whatever you called it didn't matter. And below this narrow terrace, where everyone had to stand on tiptoe, was the very spot where they had just fought the Asylum Demon.

The fat, green demon stood there, head raised, staring at the crowd, its massive body motionless.

This appearance is surprisingly kind of ugly-cute.

Todd, hands on hips, chest out, head held high, looking like his nose is practically pointing to the sky, this is a victory for realism!

The Starfire Knight were taken aback when they saw this scene.

Then he went on and on praising Todd, chattering away for a long time.

The latter had never heard so many compliments in his life, and was so overwhelmed that he blushed.

A man like him can be indestructible when he's beaten or scolded, but he immediately becomes shy and loses his composure when praised. This situation doesn't seem to be an isolated case.

These Starfire Knight are actually quite honest, aren't they? At least they know how to compliment people.

After praising Todd until he blushed, they immediately shifted their attention to discussing how to deal with the Asylum Demon.

"Give me a katana, and I'll show it a sword technique that descends from the sky!"

"Wake up, you're a mage, you can't even lift a big bow, okay?"

"Hehe, I have a greatsword, I'll use this to cleave the demon's head in two!"

"No, no, going down to fight might get us hurt. Wouldn't it be better to just throw magic at it from here and kill it?"

This was probably the time Todd had the most disagreements with the Starfire Knight.

The main point of contention is that the terrace is in such a great location that everyone has their own tricks they want to pull off, but there's only one chance to jump, meaning only one person's wish will be fulfilled.

As a result, tensions rose in people's eyes.

It looks like they could start fighting amongst themselves at any moment!

Todd trembled and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Hervey was probably the most reliable one.

Hervey waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing. I'm the captain. It's my duty to deliver a critical hit to the demon from the sky."

"Ah!?"

So everyone glared at him fiercely, their faces transforming into those of some unknown Japanese gangster, looking like they were about to unleash a trilled "r" at any moment.

"Even if you're the captain, we won't go easy on you this time, you bastard!"

"Then I'll have to resort to force," Hervey said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was about to start fighting in this pitifully small space of just a few square meters, Todd couldn't help but feel a little scared, mainly because he was afraid of getting involved.

Anyone, please come and stop these weirdos!

Heaven heard his wish and responded with the Asylum Demon.

"Boom!"

A dull thud echoed from the ground, like a thunderclap, instantly drawing the attention of the crowd who had just been arguing like gangsters. Everyone turned to look, only to see a huge shadow enveloping them all, and a strong, greasy stench, like sexual repression, assaulted their nostrils.

The Asylum Demon leaped up!

That jump was this high!

"This thing can jump that high?!"

There's nothing like that in the Starfire Knight's database!

The Asylum Demon used the "Peacemaker's Descent" technique, slamming its demonic club onto the terrace and the crowd.

"Boom! Thud!"

The entire Northern Undead Asylum was shaken for what felt like the umpteenth time, with shattered terraces crashing to the ground like meteors. The sight would have made even the cleaners scream.

The Starfire Knight and Todd also fell to the ground with a clatter, and the decomposers on the ground were all grateful for this selfless gift from heaven.

However, their bodies did not need to return to nature's embrace yet, because the next moment, these guys' muscles began to swell, and they once again turned back into the muscular super soldiers they had been before, shaking their heads and getting up from the ground.

"I was so scared, I thought I was really going to die."

"With such a fat body and such short legs, how can it jump so high? This doesn't make sense."

"I can't use my jumping attack anymore, boohoo."

The Starfire Knight, who got up from the ground, reacted in different ways, but they quickly shut their mouths and stopped babbling, drawing their weapons and aiming them at the Asylum Demon.

Although it was a great pity that they couldn't do any fancy tricks, the most important thing right now was to kill the Asylum Demon. Everyone could tell what was more important than what was less important.

As the only one who was not injured, Hervey descended from the sky, his long strips of Dragon Scale clinging to the wall as he slowly descended like Doctor Octopus.

Thousands of Dragon Scale pointed directly at the Asylum Demon.

"Start the fight!"

"Crackling and popping—"

As Hervey finished speaking, a crackling sound rang out, and light and heat instantly filled the space. Even the temperature of the land enveloped by the Fog Gate rose.

"Ah wah wah"

Todd gasped in surprise and involuntarily took a few steps back, otherwise he would have been burned.

Because the Starfire Knight were all gathering their sizzling lightning spears in their hands!

This is a [Miracle] that can only be used after becoming Sun Warrior!

The composition of the Sparkfire Church is quite simple.

Many people were already sworn Sun Warrior before joining, and many others became Sun Warrior after joining.

Simply put, the Sparkfire Church is a vast world of Sun Warrior.

Since the oath of the Sun Warrior does not require any special conditions, unlike the Farron Guard which requires perfect physical condition, willpower, and resistance, as long as you can reach the Sun Altar on your own (or be led by someone else), you can become a Sun Warrior.

The Oath of Sunlight has always welcomed all living beings.

However, this simple oath will not immediately bring any enhancement to the oath-taker. Only by constantly helping others can one obtain more Sun Emblem, and then sacrifice the badges at the altar to obtain more abilities and equipment.

It's impossible for everyone in the Sparkfire Church to be a fighter; there will always be members who aren't good at fighting. Even if those people take the oath of the Sun Warrior, they won't become that strong.

However, as a combatant and an elite Starfire Knight, he is absolutely proficient in all Weapon Skill related to the Sun Warrior and lightning!

Putting aside their quirky skills like the Marathon Backflip, they were all thoroughly familiar with Thunder Spear, Lightning Arrow, and the Oath of Sunlight and Flame Grant Me Strength. Some diligent individuals even mastered the more powerful Great Lightning Spear.

For example, Hervey is currently wielding Great Lightning Spear, which is significantly larger than a regular lightning spear just by looking at its specifications.

In the hands of these experts, the lightning spear can be condensed in a short time, making it seem almost instantaneous.

When the Thunder Spear appears, it signifies one thing:

Volley!

In a split second, the Starfire Knight hurled their lightning spears at the seemingly small head of the Asylum Demon with perfect coordination!

The intense heat of lightning constantly scorched the air, and when this terrifying temperature struck the demon, especially when multiple lightning spears hit it at the same time, the pain was like being punished by the sun!

No matter how agile the Asylum Demon was, its body was still too large. When facing the Starfire Knight, whose aim was perfect, it didn't have time to jump up and dodge again.

Moreover, numerous scales of the [Choking Dragon Fang] have already gathered on its head, and if it jumps up, it will be immediately swatted down by this giant fly swatter.

Most importantly, these Dragon Scales are also invisible!

How can this thing even have invisibility?!

Thus, the group's lightning spears successfully struck the Asylum Demon, stopping its menacing swing of the club at that moment.

Todd saw a bright sun explode on the demon's body.

"Awooo!!!"

The Asylum Demon let out a shrill howl, a sound so piercingly out of place for its size.

However, thanks to the rule that "the more people there are, the stronger the monster becomes," its toughness and resistance to grass have reached an astonishing level.

Even with its skin charred black and its body still smoking, it quickly transformed its shriek into a roar, smashing its hammer down on the crowd while unleashing Flame Jet!

This is something that was taught to Flame Jet using a skill learning machine.

As the elite fighting force of the Sparkfire Church, the Starfire Knight certainly couldn't possibly be unable to dodge such a direct attack.

One reckless guy was even excitedly rushing forward with a small round shield, trying to deflect the attack, because the weapon that the Asylum Demon swung horizontally looked easy to deflect!

Fortunately, Hervey pulled this reckless man who liked to bang things back in time. He unleashed the Choking Dragon Fang, which converged into several chains and clubs, binding him layer by layer and pinning him directly to the ground.

The Asylum Demon howled and exerted its strength repeatedly before finally loosening the chains. Just as it was about to pull out the club in one go with a burst of immense power, Hervey deliberately handed the chains over.

In an instant, the demon, unable to retract its strength, slammed the club into its own forehead, causing a violent impact that sent its massive body staggering backward.

Hervey unleashed Great Lightning Spear, which crashed down upon the demon's head with a deafening roar!

"Boom!"

The Asylum Demon was knocked to the ground, kicking up a cloud of flying gravel and dust!

"Wow, Captain, that's awesome! You really know how to use the Great Lightning Spear!" Someone in the team gave him a thumbs up.

"Of course!"

Hervey fully accepted the praise from his companion, and his expression under the chuunibyou helmet must have been all smiles.

He summoned countless Dragon Scales to form a colossal weapon the size of a ship-slaying sword, and proudly declared:

"I fought Eldridge alongside the Brave back in the day!"

"Although I was still a complete newbie back then." (whispering)

The Choking Dragon Fang -slaying sword slashed fiercely at the Asylum Demon, spraying hot blood like a torrential rain.

Todd was standing nearby, was sprayed with blood. He felt his nostrils filled with a fishy, pungent smell, but his expression remained blank.

He had expected Hervey and his group to be strong, but he hadn't imagined they would be this strong!

This kind of strength, this kind of strength, will definitely help him get rid of Dorian!

But when the next thought formed in his mind, he suddenly paused, because Todd had thought of a very serious problem.

It seems that Hervey and his group had an encounter with the Holy Light Church.

Although the outcome was unknown, the Holy Light Church captured several of their flags as spoils of war.

Todd's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Just how powerful are those people from the Holy Light Church?!

"Rest in peace, knight."

Anlesi placed a white flower on the body of the dead knight, hung the Element Bottle at her waist, then drew her weapon and calmly said:

"I'll deal with those two Black Knights."

The Holy Light Knight beside her remained calm, as if they had no objection to the matter at all, as if it were simply the proper course of action.

After all, the man in front of them was the strongest "mercenary" of their Holy Light Church, who had recently distinguished himself on the battlefield.

Anlesi is a Brave.
