"Enemy attack!"
Just as Nora was hesitantly lowering her head to look at her own body, a short shout came from the nearby soldiers, followed by the swishing sounds of a large number of swords being unsheathed.
The barbarian soldiers immediately got into formation. Due to the steep mountain road, they could not fight on horseback, so the Dragon Lance Knights also picked up their swords and formed a compound battle formation with the big guys in front of them.
Rustling sounds could be heard coming from within the forest. Nora kept feeling that there was a familiar aura in front of her. This feeling was a little mysterious, but when she took a closer look, she discovered that there was a group of monsters that she had never seen before in the distance!
"Hiss —"
A large group of "infected beasts" ran toward the team. They ran very fast. Because of their strong bodies, the group of more than twenty "infected beasts" was like a group of ferocious lions, and in the blink of an eye, they crashed into the barbarian soldiers' defense line!
Before, the "infected beasts" had been overwhelming the animals in the forest, but in front of the barbarian soldiers, they seemed to have run into a wall — a wall that could fight back.
The soldiers in metal armor raised their axes together, and seven or eight of the "infected beasts" that were charging at them were instantly sent flying. Purple blood splattered everywhere, and three of them died on the spot because their skulls were smashed open!
"Go to hell!"
Irwin was holding the battle axe that once belonged to Sauron, and he almost blocked the area within five meters. The three "infected beasts" that were charging at him were cut off before they could even get close. Due to the long period of training, Irwin was now more skillful with his axe. Coupled with the effects of Blood Suck, Bloodthirst, and Strength Amplification, these "infected beasts" could not last more than two rounds in front of him.
As more and more "infected beasts" came, Akasha and Natha also joined the battle. When the number of "infected beasts" exceeded sixty, the soldiers could not completely stop them. However, with the support of the ten necromancers, they had not suffered any casualties so far.
Hisses and roars echoed on the battlefield, but Roddy, who was wearing a plain robe, looked at the "infected beasts" in the distance, and his eyes became more and more serious.
"It's a devil … a purebred devil."
After seeing the attributes of these monsters, Roddy had already activated the newly acquired "Tracking: Demon" skill. He glanced at the [Map Bar] and was shocked by the densely packed and increasing number of infected beasts!
"What's going on? These things look a little like Teflin? "
She knew that Roddy wasn't wearing his dragon leather armor, so she stood beside him to protect him. As she watched the team attack these monsters head-on, she keenly sensed the scent of the Demon Bloodline from the waves.
She also saw the changes that happened to the group of Teflings. The originally powerless Teflings had become much stronger in an instant. Many of the younger ones had even obtained the ability to "transform", similar to Elder Luther's. Their bodies were covered in bone spikes, and they didn't look easy to deal with.
"No, they're not. They're demons. And it's a special kind of demon … "
Not only could Roddy see their "Demon" attributes, but he could also see that their average level was around 15. Obviously, these monsters weren't very strong. But when he saw a barbarian soldier being attacked by an infected beast's stinger, Roddy's expression changed, and he immediately yelled at Akasha, "Heal him! Use the Purification Spell! "
The soldier who was stabbed by the stinger wasn't injured, and he was attacked only because he was careless. The stinger stabbed into his knee at the seam of his armor, and he instantly fell to the ground. The terrible heat that came from the stinger made the soldier howl in pain. He watched as the veins on his skin bulged, and he felt like he was losing control of his body.
And at this moment, Akasha's "Purification" had already descended from the sky, and the stinger that pierced his knee was also chopped off by his partner's axe. The burning sensation instantly receded, and he sat up awkwardly. Just as he pulled out the tube-shaped stinger, he was dragged to the rear by the Dragon Lance Knight.
Roddy rushed to the side of this barbarian with a grave expression. He stared into his eyes and asked loudly, "Answer me! What's your name? "
"Ah? My … my name is Tassili, my lord. "
The barbarian soldier who was questioned by Roddy looked confused. He had no idea why his lord was so nervous. At this time, the wounds on his body had already begun to heal under Akasha's healing spell, and the "Purification Spell" had also made all the changes in his body disappear.
Seeing this, Roddy heaved a sigh of relief. He was actually frightened by Tassili's "infected" status. Now that he thought about it carefully, he could guess the purpose of these "infected", so he immediately stood up and ordered the soldiers around him, "Shrink the formation, be careful of those stingers, and kill all the enemies!"
The [Map Bar] showed that more "infected" beasts were rushing toward them. Roddy didn't know how they determined the direction of attack, because it was almost impossible to find a team protected by several kinds of barriers in this forest. But now he didn't have time to think about these reasons — a row of "infected" beasts at the front of the line had already died, but these things seemed to be increasing in number. So much so that some of the "infected" at the edge of the line had already slipped through the net and rushed in …
"Ahhhhhh!"
The center of the line was filled with Teflin women and children. An "infected" beast jumped over the line of defense and dodged the missiles of the arcanists. It nimbly rushed into the middle of the line and ran directly to a screaming young Teflin. But the next moment, this "infected" beast stopped and raised the antennae on its head and sniffed carefully …
The ferocious mouth slightly opened, and Teflin fell to the ground in fear. But the "infected" beast did not open its mouth and bite him to death. Instead, it turned its body and stared at Merlinsera and Roddy who were not far away. Ignoring the dozen Teflins who were screaming and trying to dodge, it directly pounced on them!
Rody didn't even move in the face of the enemy's attack. Beside him, Merinsala raised her hand and pointed at the 'infected beast'. However, before she could cast a spell, a shadow suddenly dashed over from afar and knocked the 'infected beast' away with a loud bang!
This gave Roddy a fright. Even with his fast reflexes, he didn't see who the shadow was. The speed was even faster than when he "sprinted" and "leaped" at the same time. It was almost as fast as an arrow shot by a normal scout …
The "infected" beast that was knocked down didn't die. Soon, it wailed and tried to stand up. Only then did Roddy realize that the one who attacked it was Nora, who was captured by Natha. Nora didn't use any weapons at this time. She just relied on the speed of her charge and her sharp fingers to cut open the side of the "infected" beast.
It was also Nora's first time using this ability. When the "infected" beast rushed into the crowd, she was the only one who had experienced battles and tried to fight back. However, due to the long distance, she couldn't make it in time even if she sprinted on all fours. But the moment she exerted all her strength, her body suddenly became weightless, and she covered the distance of 50 meters in the blink of an eye …
Hence, the scene in front of Roddy's eyes.
In less than two seconds, the struggling "infected" beast was trapped in place by Merlinsera's Frost Chains. Its flailing tail was completely frozen after being "taken care of". Rody walked over and stretched out his hand to help Nora, who was gasping for breath, up. He then asked bluntly, "Is this the ability you just obtained?"
Nora nodded while panting, but she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Roddy didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he summoned Elder Luther and said, "Gather all the Tayflings who can fight and send them to the front line. If you need weapons, go get them!"
"Yes, Master!"
Luther's body was much stronger than before, and the horns on his head had more spirals. After the energy wave that caused all the Tayflings to mutate, many of the originally thin and weak Tayflings had changed their bodies. At least 20 of them looked like Luther. Obviously, they had the ability to "transform". Many others were like Nora, who had some new abilities that they didn't even know about.
When these Tayflings joined the battle under Luther's leadership, they magically relieved the pressure on the front line.
Just as Roddy had predicted, the "infected" beasts wouldn't attack the Tayflings who also had the "demon" bloodline. Therefore, they killed the "infected" beasts as easily as slaughtering chickens and pigs.
But what surprised him was the 20 or so "transformed" Tayflings on the battlefield. After their transformation, their attack and defense had increased several times. The shortest one was 2.5 meters tall, and the tallest one was more than 3 meters tall. When they spread their arms, their attack range was much larger than Irwin's after he went berserk …
On the battlefield with cold weapons, these powerful figures were definitely the best weapons to destroy the enemy's morale. But in Roddy's eyes, they obviously had a more suitable use.
Turning his gaze back to the struggling "infected" beast in front of him, Roddy glanced at the [Quest Panel]. He quickly pulled out his dagger and stabbed it through its eye socket into its skull, killing the twitching demon.
"[Demon's Blood] Stage Mission completed."
The words on the [Quest Panel] changed to "Kill Demon 1/1". At the same time, two lines of words appeared.
"You obtained the skill 'Demon Mastery'."
"You mastered the 'Demon Language'."
At the same time, Rody felt a lot of messy information appearing in his mind. The pain came at the same time, causing him to frown and press his temples. Countless scenes flashed before his eyes. They were scenes of the battle between the 'witcher' Ducar and the demons. Information about the types of demons, the preferences of demons, and even the weaknesses of demons appeared in his mind at the same time.
